A Horrible Death.

The details of the terrible accident
of Richard Grubb, of Loudoun county,
Va, on Wednesday morning OF last
week, and news of his death, have
been learned. 1t seems that Mr..
Grubb went out TO take fox hunt in
company with little boy. and about
ten o'clock. when some distance FROM
home, ii is thought he became tired,
and sat down on a rock to rest.
Thinking he heard the bay of one Of
lis hounds, ne reached out quickly
for his gun, which he had laid aside,
and pulled it towards him by the
muzzle The hammer caught against
someth hing. and the gun was dis.
charged. the contents striking him in
the head The shot tore out his right
eve and a portion of the skull, expos
ing the brain The boy became he
widered. Mr. Grub, although NOR
tally wounded. did not lose conscious
ness, and told the boy where to go
for help. In the meantime Mr.. Grubb' 5
clothing had caught fire, which he
smothered, and believed it to be out.
When assistance arrived, the wounded
mans clothing was found to be- on
fire again. which he was trying in vain
TO extinguiSh. The fire had burned
portions of his body TO a crisp. After
the fire had been extinguished he was
taken to the nearest house, and a
physician summoned. His father and
mother, who were in Washington, D..
o., were summoned, and were at his
bedside when he died, on Thursday
morning Mr. Grubb was son Of
Samuel n. Grub, Of Midtown, Va,
and one of the most popular young
men in Loudoun county.

GLOOMY VIEW FROM MASON COUNTY
We are in receipt of copy of the
State Gazette. a newspaper published

We are in receipt of copy of the
State Gazette, a newspaper published
at Point Pleasant by our editorial sis
ter. Miss Livia n. Simpson. We
hasten to add it to our exchange list.
It's leading editorial is a column aud
a-half in length, and announces in
large, black capitals that Mason
county is stricken to the heart by the
Wilson bill. Why2 Because railroad
crossties are to go upon the free list.
The pauper ties of Canada are 8 cents
cheaper than Mason county ties. All
the Canadian tie producer will have
to do is to ferry his ties across Lake
Erie. load 'em on the cars--don't
know how much this will cost have
them hauled down to Point Pleasant
and just knock the Mason county ties
ont Of sight.
Then the fair Olivia writes feelingly
about the great reduction TO be made
i'm the value of wool and the price Of
mutton, and tells how potatoes will
be at least 10 cents bushel cheaper.
She comedies that free wool will make
cheaper clothing for the masses, but
plaintively asks, What article Of
food is to be made cheaper? The
cheap mutton and potatoes seem to
have slipped her mind.
And eggs! The Mason county hens
under the Wilson bill will be utterly
discouraged. They will have to COM
pete with the pauper hens of Europe,
for eggs are to be on the free list.
How our home hens will have to
scratch to get along Miss Simpson
says, Here will be another loss to
every farm and country home in this
county, She might well have added
another paragraph descriptive of the
gloomy outlook for the Point Pleasant
poultry, who may yet have to hide
their heads under their wings.
Sister Simpson is also fearful that
the hay market will be affected, that
horses and mules will go down, and
that poverty and wretchedness and
a whole lot of other things will come
upon Mason county. 1t pains Us to
see such a pessmistic view. We hope
our fair contemporary will cheer up.
Hope for the best. We assure her
that Mr.. Wilson hasn't horns. nor do
we believe that his bill will ruin any
part of our charming State. Take our
word for it, when the blue birds nest
again in Mason county, and the Ohio
once more spreads itsel: over Point
Pleasant, the hens will cackle as gladly
as of yore. the sonorous sound of the
Drawing mule will be as cheerful as
ever, the potato bug will have just
as much chance 10 earn his living as
before, and the bleating sheep aud
the skipping lamb will go in and out
aud find the pasture rs sweet as 1t
ever was under the Mckinley bill.

The Eighth Dollar Discovered.

A recent dispatch from Philadelphia
gives the following interesting piece
of news: The belief that only seven Of
the 1904 silver dollars were in exist
ence has been an error, for the eighth
one has turned up. Rosenthol Broth
ers, dealers in old iron, had IA debtor
in Virginia from whom they tried
vainly for some time to collect a bill
of $500 Recently the Virginian sent
the firm one of the much-sought 1904
dollars. He stated that he sent the
coin in payment of his bill, and if the
Rosenthols could sell il for more
than the total of the account they
could keep the balance. In eXplana-
ton of how he came in possession of
the dollar, the Virginian wrote that
he had bought it tor $50 from an old
negro who was ignorant Of its rarity
and value and in whose family it had
been a long time. The Rosenthols
took the dollar to the mint here and
it was pronounced genuine. A coin
collector has offered them $3.50 for
the dollar, but they refused the offer,
as at an auction sale of coins here
one Of the 1904 dollars sold fora thou
sand dollars.
