Bishop Healy was reported to be very
much better this morning by his attending

attack was severe one and came on very
suddenly. 1t was caused by overwork as

the Christian church, held basket
meeting in grove near the Custom NJ.
L. Church on last Sabbath the End inst,
A vast concourse of people attended.
Some estimated the congregation at 800.
Elder Jobes is one OF the finest pulpit
orators that ever visited Monongalia
county, and he delivered two magnifl-
cent sermons on this occasion. | think
these sermons resulted in great deal
OF good Although there were no out
siders converted, | think a good many
church members were converted, or at
least were converted so far as 10 drive
away their preiudices against other de-
nominations, and il was truly gratifying
to see members of other churches going
forward after services were concluded
and bidding Elder Jobes farewell.
The Martin-Weaver choir rendered
some excellent music for the occasion,
William Hall gave ice cream suppers
on the 2Sth and 10Th of August on the
2sth for the young people, and the latter
for married people. II was kind of Mr..
Hall to remember the old folks. Yet
cannot see the propriety of separating
the young and the old upon such occa-
sions. believe in the German plan OF
having all together on such occasions, so
that the young would put new life into
the old, and the presence of the old
might check a portion OF the superb
bundanee OF exuberanee possessed by
some of the young.

WANTS A DIVORCE AND DAMAGES.
A. E. Young, of Fairmont, Sues Attor-
ney MOorefield after Having Caught
Him in Compromising Position
Beat Him Nearly to Death.

FA1RMoNT, Aug. 31.-If the Court
House had been struck by lightning
to day the occupants would not have
been more shocked and surprised
than they were when A. E. Young,
the well known insurance man, en-
tered suit against Attorney Moore
field for $4,000 damages for aliena-
ting his wife's affections.
This was the first intimation the
public had received that Young and
his wife were not happy or that At
torney Moorefield had strayed from
the path of rectitude or even cogita-
ted the subject of illicit love. Later
developments showed that the troub-
lie had been precipitated less than a
day before. The story is that Young
went to his home Thursday evening
about $50 rather unexpectedly and
caught his wife and Moorefe!1 in an
extremely embarrassing and COM
promising position, one version go
ing so far as to say they were in bed
together. Young. of course, was
highly incensed, and having nc
weapons but those provided by ma
ture, proceeded to use them as effec-
lively as possible. The report is
that he mauled Moorefeld most un.
mercifully, bruising and cutting his
head and face so badly that he left
town on an early train for Wheeling
with the intention Of entering hos
pital.
Young is an insurance solicitor
and came here about eight months
ago. His wife is very handsome
young woman and has always borns
! G good reputation.

AN AGED LOTHARI0.
w. A. Moore of near UniOntOwn El0pes
with Mrs. Weigle-In West Virginia.


Nicholas township is all agog over
the sensational elopement of W. A..
Moore and Mrs. Anna Weigle, who
lives near Woodside postoffice.
Moore is near the shady side of 60,
though his frosty and patriarchal
beard gives him still more venera-
BILE appearance. He has grown up
children by both his first and second
wives, and has never been suspected
of having fondness for Mrs. Weigle,
who is the wife of George Weigle,
about 80 years of age and the mother
of two children.
During the Fair two weeks ago
Moore and wife drove to Uniontown.
On Thursday he induced his wife to
sign paper by which b received
81, 200. On the following morning
he hitched up his buggy and drove
in the direction of Smithfeld, telling
his wife he was going out to meet
the township auditors on business
connected with the roads. By pre-
arrangement Moore met Mrs. Weigle
and together they drove back to
Uniontown and took B. q 0. train
for West Virginia. The team was
sent back home. Moore is a we'll

A TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR CHECK
Handed to DIR. Geo. L. Keener in Pay
ment of His Fathers Life Policy.

On Friday last Mr.. John F. Swee-
ney, of Wheeling, state agent for
the Equitable Life Assurance Socie-
ty of the United States, came to
Morgantown with a check for $780,
600 in his pocket to pay the heirs of
the late Jos. 2. Keener the amount
of life policy written by that com
pany on Mr.. Keener about year
ago.
The gossips had been busy for
some time specializing about the pay
ment of the policy and no doubt
some of them hoping it would not
be paid, but as Mr. Sweeney said ev.
erything was straight in every par
ticular and there could be no ques-
tion as to payment. The Equitable
is the largest Life Insurance compa-
ny in the world and its reputation
for fair and prompt dealing with its
policy holders is as good as it is pos
BILE to have. Mr.. Sweeney about the
same time paid a$5,000 loss in Mar
ion county on the life of Mr.. Addi-
son Mcintyre.

A Deserved Compliment to Prof
Hodges.

Prof. Thos. E. Hodges recently
held the teachers institute in
Charleston and at its close the Mail
of that city pays him the following
tribute; 1t is to be regretted that
there are not more educational en-
thusiasts in this State like Col. T..
E. Hodges, of Huntington. He has
been here this week engaged in In
stitute work, and the universal YER
dict of the teachers seems to be that
he is one of the ablest as well as one
of the most industrious instruct
ors that has ever been employed in
this county. Col. Hodges is courte-
GUS and affable, and yet he possesses
a comm anding dignity that wins ev-
eryone. A personal acquaintance of
several years with Col. Hodges en-
ables the writer to add his endorse
ment to all the good things said
about him by the Kanawha teachers
at the Kanawha Institute.

That Two Thousand Dollar Ball Game.

To-day the great game of ball be-
tween Morgantown and Fairmont
will be played at Uniontown.. No
local game has ever attracted the
attention and caused as much ex-
citement as this one. The game is
for $1,000 side and the gate re-
ceipts. People from as far south as
Weston will attend in great numbers
and it is reported special train
will be run from Fairmont. The re
suit of the game will be awaited
with great interest. A Uniontown
dispatch of Tuesday says: Exten-
sive preparations are being made
for the game here on Thursday for
a big purse, to be played between
the Morgantown and Fairmont
teams of West Virginia. Both teams
are getting the best players in the
country, and hundreds of dollars
outside of the original stake have
been bet on the result. 1t is said
that $4,000 will not cover the bets
made on the contest. A coal man
named Swisher, of this place, is
backing Fairmont and an oil man
named McDermott is backing Nor
gantown. The whole Amateur team
has been signed by one or the other
of the two teams.
