sudden peash Of James 2. ponIey.

james p Doniey, one of our
wealthy and prominent citizens died
in Philadelphia on Sunday last.
Saturday evening Mr.. Donley left
here for the east in his usual health
and Sunday afternoon message
came like a thunder clap from a
clear sky making the mere announce
ment that he was dead. For some
time past Mr.. Donley had suffered
some from his heart but there were
no indications Of such sudden end.
On Sunday evening Mr.. Donley's
son Jack went to Philadelphia and
returned last night with the remains.
The funeral will take place at 2
o'clock this afternoon.
To say that the community was
shocked would be to express the oc-
currence very mildly and tae sad af-
fair has effected the town as a pail.
Mr.. Donley was native of Mt.
Morris where be had always lived
until he moved to Morgantown about
ten years ago. He had amassed a
and gave little attention
to business except to ship cattle oc-
He owned some yalua-
BILE property in the Mt. Morris oil
field and had an ample income He
was a man Of intelligence, highly
respected by all who knew him. His
demise is regretted far and wide.

Railroad Notes.

In its railroad notes the last issue
of the Fairmont Index had the fol-
lowing paragraphs:
The new passenger conductors on
the Pittsburg Branch are Dennis
Devine, Frank Tolbert and Charles
Porter, all good fellows and accom-
modating officials. 1t will pay you
to know them.
j. W. Davis still holds his posi-
ton as Baggage master, but will
most likely be the extra passenger
conductor. The position of Conduct
or is coming to Jimmie very soon, if
the higher officials are looking after
merit.
The opening Of the F., M. & p to
Pittsburg has increased the work of
Captain Frank Sapp, Yard Master
at this place, more than that of any
other official. His duties are at least
double, but he will take care of them
with his usual dispatch and skill.
Captain X. ID. Walker, so well and
favorably known as the conductor on
the F., M. & P. since the road was
opened to Morgantown, resigned his
position when the road was complet-
ed to Pittsburg. We do not know
what he intends to do, but hope a
better position with the company is
awaiting him. There is no more
competent and efficient railroad man
in the employ of the Baltimore and
Ohio road that Captain Walker.
The B. & O. has been accused of
violating its agreement and cutting
rates on coal from the Wheeling dis
trict to the lakes. A searching in
YES tigation was made at Pittsburg
on Monday and the B. & 0. officers
were eXonerated.

TIRED OF LIFE.
A Marion County Woman Found Dead
Hanging in the Barn.
7airmont Index.


Last Saturday morning the family
of Mr.. David w. Hoult, who resides
on Pharoah's run, about five miles
below this town, in Pawpaw district,
were Mortified at finding the wife and
mother hanging by the neck in the
barn, dead. The circumstances at
tending this affair are peculiarly
distressing. Domestic trouble has
lately worried this lady to a great
extent, but no one thought that it
had unbalanced her mind. On Fri
day night daughter, who was quite
sick, called her mother to administer
to some want, and both Mr.. and Mrs.
Hoult got up and attended to her
They then retired, and Mr.. Hoult
fell asleep. Some time thereafter
the daughter again called to her
mother, who got up, but without dis
turbing Mr.. Hoult After attending
to her daughter she went out of the
house. She remained out so long
that the daughter became alarmed
and called to her father, telling him
of the mothers prolonged absence.
Mr. Hoult got up and search was
made, and soon she was found hang
ing in the stable and her life was
gone. She had taken a clothes line
and gone up in the barn and fasten-
ed it to beam, and putting a moose
at the other end around her neck,
and let herself down through the
opening made for the steps. When
found one foot and one knee were
resting lightly on the steps. She
was a most excellent lady. Her
maiden name was Jennie Keefover,
and she was about forty years of age
and leaves, besides her husband, six
children, the youngest Of whom is
not more than eighteen months The
remains were buried on Monday
near her old home, in the presence
of large number of sorrowing
friends.

A Horse Killed In a Peculiar Manner.

On Saturday night as Charlie
Trowbridge and Walter Wilson were
returning to their homes from King
wood, a very peculiar accident oc-
Cured which resulted in the death
of the horse upon which Charlie was
riding. The night was very dark
and the wind was so high that it
was impossible to hear any sound.
The boys were riding at rapid gait
up the pike opposite E. E. Reppert's,
when Charles horse, without any
apparent warning, came violently in
to a collision with a livery team
driven by Martin Childs and was
killed. The tongue of the livery
wagon struck Charles horse in the
throat, severing the arteries and
causing it to bleed to death in a few
minutes. The horse was about
three years old, and was considered
one of the best in this section

there are many things in favor of
both points, but l cannot say which

THE mccoy MURDER.
At Waynesburg Recalled-A Revolver
Found Near the Scene of the Muir.
Aar

Considerable excitement was caus-
ed at Waynesburg the other evening
by the finding of revolver near the
spot where huckster Samuel Mccoy
was murdered on the morning of
January last, and interest in the
foul murder has again been revived
The revolver was found by the
side of the road and few rods south
of the spot where McCoy's body was
discovered by young man who had
been working in clearing near the
place on Tuesday afternoon. The
revolver is 32-calibre and of course
very badly rusted from having laid
out so long. 1t was taken to Way
nesburg and not person examined
it but who looked upon it as the
weapon used by McCoy's assassin,
and the fact that the revolver was
found along the road south of the
scene of the murder in the direction
which the slayer of McCov is sup
posed to have fled after the murder,
makes this superstition very proba-
BILE.
Many people take the finding of
the revolver to be another link in
the chain of evidence against John
Eisiminger, the man already impris-
oned to await trial for the murder of
Mccoy 1t will be remem bered that
tracks discovered, which led away
from the scene of the murder fitted
nicely the prisoners shoes. These
tracks indicated that the murderer
travelled for some distance along the
road. by the side of which the revol
yer was found, and the theory con
corning the revolver is that after the
commission of the crime he tossed it
away to hide for a time one bit of
evidence against him.
Another theory concerning the
murder was that the revolver used
was one stolen from George Chap
man, Waterman in the Wayncburg
d Washington engine house at Way
nesburg. Eisiminger slept in the
engine house the night before the
murder and after he left the next
morning Chapman missed his revol-
yer. 1t has been missing ever since
and it has been thought that Els
iminger stole it. The weapon found,
answered well the description given
by Chapman, but it is said that
Chapman now says the weapon is
not his.
The trial Of Eisiminger will be
called at the next term Of court in
Greene county and the case may be
tried then but it is rumored that it
will be continued.
