Albert Browns Misfortune.

The Fairmont Index gives the
following account of an affliction
which has befallen a well-known
travelling man:
''The many friends of AL. Brown,
of Grafton, will be panied to learn
of the misfortune that has overtaken
him. Some time ago what is known
as smokers cancer" appeared on
his tongue, which baffled all treat
ment, and continued to grow worse,
until it had to be cut out, and to do
this the tongue had to be removed.
The operation was successful so far
as taking ..out the cancer, but it
will deprive Mr.. Brown of his speech.
Mr.. Brown has been visiting our
grocery trade for a number of years,
and was very popular with all of our
people, and his condition is deeply
deplored.

The Farmer Ahead.

Thomas F. Watson, a resident of
this county, held so shares of stock
in the Farmers Bank of Fairmont,
Marion county, of the par value OF
$4,000. The capital stock of the
bank not being assessed, he listed
these shares of stock for taxation.
The town authorities of Fairmont
also assessed the said Watson with
the said shares of stock. and com.
PEELED him against his protest, to pay
taxes thereon, aggregating for the
several years the sum of $3.50. On
the 18th day of January, 1892, be
brought suit before Thomas A. Elem
ing, Justice of the Peace, for the
amount of said taxes, and on the 7th
day of February, 1892, recovered q
Judgment for the taxes and interest
then amounting to the sum of $9937
The town appealed from this judg
ment and on the 11th day of March
1898, the Circuit court reversed the
judgment of the Justice and dismiss
ed the action at the plaintiffs cost
Farmer Watson carried it to the Su
preme Court and got the judgment
of the Circuit court set aside. The
Supreme court held that the stock
properly belonged to the assessablt
property of Monongalia county.

There was a big match Pittsburg
last Thursday, in which wing shots
of note only drew piece on fowl. Mr..
Miller entered the contest and came
out winner. He killed "a out of
the 25 live birds let loose for him to
try. A better idea of the extent of
of the honor is gained by the refec-
ton that he being the best shot was
not won by shooting against any
but old timers in the business. Joe
is entitled to all the congratulations
he has received, both at Pittsburg
and since his return home.
Had it not been for dog who
seemed not to understand his bust
ness the Morgantown man would
have had the other bird to his credit.
He killed it, but it had been nosed
by the dog beyond the line before it
was shot, and while by some peculiar
rule it was not put down on his score
credit, the truth is that Mr.. Miller
killed 25 straight birds. Some time

AvErERAs srrAnBoarxAS.
Capt. N. A. Cox the Oldest Riverman
on the Monongahela.

The following from the Uniontown
Standard is about d gentleman who
is known to every monaghan who
has travelled by boat on the Monon-
gahela:
Captain NJ. A. Cox, of the steam
er Adam Jacobs, whose home is in
Brownsville, was a guest at the Cen
trail hotel in company with Captain
Isaac Woodward and wife and Will
liam Britton, all of the same place.
The captain is veteran river man,
having spent more years on the wa
tiers of the Mississippi and its
branches than any other man now
actively engaged in the business.
If he lives until the fall OF the pres
ent year he will have been running
on the Mississippi river system,
either as clerk or captain, for half a
century. He will be seventy three
years of age on the 26th of next Ju
ly, and with the exception of some
trouble with his eyesight, he is hale
and hearty, and loves the water as
well and better than he ever did.
Captain Cox began steamboating
in 1874 as clerk on the steamer
Massachusetts, which piled on all
the lower rivers. In 1S47 be went
on the Circassian, one of the fastest
boats on the lower rivers at that
time. From the time be went on the
Massachusetts, in 1874 until he be-
came the captain OF the Adam ia
cobs he captained or clerked on
twenty-six different steamers, and
had an interest in each one of the
twenty six. The principal boats on
which he was engaged as clerk or
captain were Swatars, Niagara, Key
stone, Conowago, Leonidas, Aurora,
Colossus, Colossal, Brill, Carrie ia
cobs, Massachusetts, Monongahela,
of the lower river, and the Fayette,
Geneva, Isaac Bennett, james G.
Blaine and Adam Jacobs, of the
Monongahela river packet line Cap
tain Cox was on the lower rivers
25 years and has been captaining
the Monongahela steamers about
the same length of time. He has
had the honor of bringing out all
the new boats on this line for many
years. He has piloted a great deal,
and has license to pilot on six
thousand miles of river,
During the Mexican war he was
on the CircassiaD, and transported
number of companies from Pitts
burg to Camp jackson, ten miles
below New Orleans, among which
were those of Colonel Roberts and
Colonel Samuel Black, from the vi
entity of Uniontown, transported in
the year 1S47. While taking com
missary stores to General Burnside
at Nashville during the late war,
his boat, THE Leonidas, was taken
charge of ct Smi;hland, Kentucky,
and ordered to the seige of Vicks-
burg. He lay there six weeks. His
stores were perishable goods, and he
wanted to deliver them to General
Burnside. He got an introduction to
General Grant, who ordered him to
report to Smithland. He is great
admirer of Grant.

WIN the excitement Hxcitel


Concerning the revival of the oil
excitement around the Dolls run
and Mt. Morris fields, relative to
their extension, there has of late been
some rumor. A correspondent from
that neighborhood sends the follow
ing oil notes to the Waynesburg
Democrat, which go mainly to show
that there is some work being done
over there:
Joseph Tenant who lately moved
from Smith Creek, Pa, to State Fork
is working in the oil field at Whet-
stone.
Jesse Orndoff and Hiram Wells
are still on the Dents Run well; pull.
ling casing now.
III. g. Ferret, our Justice, is still
filing contracts furnishing rig tim
her and putting it on the location al
very small figure. He has two rigs
on hands now; one on State Fork
and one on Chas. Boyles' place below
Metz.
There are said to be ten oil wells
located from Warrington to the head
of State Fork. but l am only sure Of
three locations.
The rigs on M. d. Hawkinberry
and John Baker will be built this
week sure.
The indications show up well now
for the opening up of this oil field al
present.
The Warrington field has taken a
boom again; some wonderful big
wells opened up lately.
Benny Dodd has bought the Hen.
derson farm that has been so much
talked of while that well was going
down and then was a gasser.
There is rig going up on the Is
rael Wise farm joining John Baker
Jesse Orndoff hauled in the rig
timber for the Baker rig for the sum
of twenty five dollars.

The Finishing Touches.

-Four miles this way from Point
Marion the extension has been bal
lasted. This leaves about six miles
more to ballast, till the part of the
road already ballasted to below Gran
vile is reached, making the entire
III miles of the extension to
Cheat. The bridge was crossed
January 9th, and ballasting be-
gan the next day. Since then
four miles have been ballasted, and
if it has taken that long to ballast
four miles it will take one and one
half times as long to finish to G ran
vile, unless decided improvement in
the rate of progress is soon seen.
The ballasting will not likely be
completed before March l, but if not
it will be hut short time thereafter
till it is. When it is finished there
will be trains put on. That will be
in March.
In March, after the railroad is
opened, we will have our first regular
Sunday trains, which also means
Sunday mail Then there will be
cheap fare and quick trips to points
below and everything else we have
longed for by the opening of the
road will be realized.
| Another construction train hal
been put on, now making four trainl
which are hauling ballast. The new
engine and crew came through her,
Saturday and at once began work
The contractors are Fastening tn,
matter now, since they have learned
that the railroad company will TAX
the road off their hands as soon as i
10 completed. The contractors CLAIM
that they will complete the ballastinI
not later than Feb. 20. Thus it viii
be seen that a margin on that tim
is given in the size up Of the situa
ton which allows till the LIST o
March. There is not much doub
about the work being completed a
that time, but il is barely poseibl

Better Times al Fairmont.

The signs of the times grow bright
er every day, and are now clearly to
be seen at Fairmont. The one de-
pendence there is coal and the gen
eral business depression lessened the
coal demand and threw many miners
in that section out of employment.
But the change for the better is now
noticed, of which the Free Press of
that town says: "The coal shipments
at this point have considerably in
creased of late. The present month
will double that of last month, and
the coke is catching up with the coal.
This indicates the approach of better
times for u.s."

THE mccoy MURDER CASE.
No New Developments During the Past
Week.

NaybespuIH mcsSchBef.
There has been absolutely moth
ing new or startling regarding the
Mccoy murder developed since our
last issue. though the dark and bloody
deed continues to be the chief top
ic of conversation among our people.
AS prophecied at the time would be
the case, many of the wild stories
and rumors told and retold of the
awful crime, have turned out to be
eanards, wholly or in part, and up
to this time John Eisiminger is the
only person who has been arrested
charged with the murder, while the
talk and speculation regarding 9th
Ell suspected parties, seems To be in
a manner dying out Eisiminger is
still resting quietly in jail and &C
cording to report, conducting him
self more decorously than when first
inearcerated. As to the killing Of
the horse at Mrs. McCoy's home
some three or four days after the
murder, public opinion is still some
what divided, and while the widow
and some other people assert that
the horse was maliciously killed,
many Others are just as positive
that the animal died from natural
causes. From friend we learn that
near neighbor of theMcCoys,a per.
feetly reliable and responsible gen
tlemen, who had been called to treat
this same horse for collie several
times in the past, is positive that the
tanimal died of collie. Symptoms of
the ailment were plain, he says, in
the position and appearance of the
animal, and when the story was
started that the animals throat had
been cut, this gentleman made a
thorough examination Of the premis
es and failed to find as much blood
as would have followed the decapi-
tation OF chicken. To our mind
Samuel Mccoy was murdered in
cold blood for his money by some
fiend should be made to stretch
hemp as promptly as possible, while
the horse of Mccoy died from collie
and lack of firnplv treatmont

II. R. Linn, Esq, went to Balti-
more on Monday, returning Wednes-
day. The sight of one of his eyes
has been failing for some time, and
he went to the Monumental City to
consult specialist, who told him
there was no remedy for the disease
and that sooner or later be would
lose the sight entirely. This will be
sad news to the ex Sheriff's hosts OF
friends. Mr.. Linn says the oculist
gave it as his opinion that the troub-
lie was the result of blow or fall,
but our townsman has no recollec-
ton of ever getting either We are
glad to add that the disease deals
gently with him, as he has not ex-
perienced any pain.
