Vaudeville Matters.

MMpsynLE, Sept I6.-The mercury
registered higher three days Of last week
than it has any time this summer But
il seems as though fall had set in in
earnest now.
Threshing machines in this vicinity
have ceased their noise. Wheat and
oats were expected to be a light yield,
bnt as general thing wheat turned ont
as well as II did last year. John
Ridgway threshed 49, bushels Of
wheat from 500 dozens.
Misses Blanche and Florence Mercer,
OF Pittsburg, are visiting friends and
relatives at this place.
The band boys have completed their
band wagon all but the last coat of paint,
II is grand, indeed.
Mr.. Editor, we would like to say few
words in regard to the statement con-
corning the Crooked Run festival which
appeared in last weeks letter from
Vaudeville. What we want to say is
that it seems to us that the correspond
ent wished TO badly represent the boys
OF his own community, as we'll also, the
half dozen from Morgantown by a false
assertion. He said that Of the dozen
boys from each place, not one escaped
being a victim Of the jug and all fell by
the roadside. There were few at the
festival that night that were drinking a
little, but there were boys from each
place he spoke OF who do not indulge in
any kind of intoxieants, Just as good
we would suggest as he usually has the
pleasure of associating with. We do not
wish that the correspondent should take
offence at any thing we have said, and
of course he wont, but we simply want
people of this neighborhood spoken Of
as they merit.
Miss Lulie smkins, daughter of Mar
ion Simkins, who has been at Union
town staying with her sister has very
severe attack OF typhoid fever.
J. l.. Stoneking and his mother are
visiting at this place. Mr. Stonekinq
will teach whore he did last winter, Dug
Hill.
Two more of our boys are attending
the West Va. University this term
Clyde Sanders and Charles Carlow.

Off TO Conference,

Rev. A. Cameron pastor of the NJ.
E. church, Rev. d. T. Friend, Rev.
c. E. Jones, Hon. Geo. c. Sturgiss,
and c. M. Henry, Esq departed yes
terday for Buckhannon to attend the
West Virginia Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church. 1t is
not probable that any changes will
be made in this district Rev. Cam
eron is greatly appreciated and loved
by his congregation which has re
xuested that he be returned to Nor
gantowD, and it is not at all likely
that any changes will be made as
all of the ministers in this district
have proven highly satisfactory to
their congregations. The full pro-
eeedings of the Conference will be
found in the next issue of the New
DOMINION.

A Lively Scrap While the Lights We're
Ont

A few nights ago between IL and
II o'clock 8 street lights on Front
street and 4 on the South end of
High street were put out leaving the
lower end of both streets in total
darkness. George Washington Holt
and George Washington Adkins,
colored, were on their way home aud
near the Victor Mills met Dorsey
Slime and Alvin Barthlow. Slime
and Holt became involved in a quar-
rel over dog that had been killed
by Stine's bull dog During the
quarrel the colored gents say that
"dornicks" began to fly faster than
q little pickaninney's feet in a doub-
lie shuttle. The colored mems heads
stopped two of the "dornieks'' and
then they both took to their heels.
Slime and Barthlow were arrested on
warrants charging them vita assault
with intent to kill. At the preim-
mary trial before Squire Hayes
men both swore that Slime and
Barthlow put out the lights and lay
in wait for them and after talking
awhile began to throw rocks. Both
were hit near the right eye. They
also swore that they were stoned on
the South end of High street
Slime and Barthlow testified that
they saw two men putting out the
lights aud stepped into a yard to
keep out of the way, that while they
were standing there the coloted men
came along andbegan aquarrel during
the progress of which some person
or persons began to throw stones
and the meeting" was broken up by
all parties skating off in different di-
rections. A witness for the defence
testified that he and another man
left Slime and Barthlow near Beech
urst avenue and that he and the man
with him turned off the lights.
Barthlow said that while an officer
some time ago he arrested Adkins
and that Adkins swore he would
have revenge and that during the
quarrel he pulled knife and made
threats against him. Slime said that
Holt put his hand in his pocket and
swore that he would disem bowel him.
Another witness testified that Holt
said that "would be dear dog fight
for Slime"
Prosecuting Attorney Baker rep
resented the State and l.. " Keck,
Esq, the defendants. The trial las
ted several hours and the yitnesses
swore point blank against each 9th
er. The above is the case in a nut
shell. Slime and Barthlow were held
in $500 for court. Barthlow gave
bond at once and was released but
Slime was arrested ON a capias by
the Sheriff and placed in jail There
is big fine standing against him
and another case in which there was
suspension of sentence so he will
have to remain in Jail until the DC
tober term of court.

Oil Field Men Raise Sunday Racket.

Ten or twelve oil men from the
Mount Morris oil field drove into
town Sunday afternoon accompanied
by large sized jags and attempted to
run the town on the latest approved
oil country plan, but they failed to
oil the machinery in proper man
ner and came to grief Two of them
became involved in racket on Main
street and one was knocked down
and badly used up, Instead of get
ting out of town they continued to
parade the street until Policeman
Cooper pulled the man who did the
smuggling. He attempted to resist
and one of his companions started
in to assist him when they found
themselves surrounded by about so
citizens. Seeing the jig was up with
them the man walked along as quiet
ly as lamb. In the evening he left
forfeit of $40 and went home. 1t
is reported that the same crowd
broke up the colored camp meeting
at Cassville, one of them striking a
colored woman preacher in the head
with a whiskey bottle. The men are
all right when sober but when tank
ed become little too boisterous to
suit the tastes of Morgantown citi-
Zens.

were tried before Mayor Poster
Monday on the charge of turning off
the street lamps one night last week
The trial was the outgrowth of the
charge of assault brought against
them by Wash Holt and George Ad.
kins. holt and wife and Adkins
swore positively to seeing Barthlow
turn out several of the lights but
their evidence was knocked into a
cooked hat by two witnesses who
came forward and swore that they,
the witnesses turned the lights out
themselves. The colored witnesses
got badly mixed up and when other
parties confessed to putting out the
lights Slime and Barthlow were dis
charged and the parties who turned
off the lights fined $3.50 each.

Both Legs Cut OFF,

The Fairmont Free Press SAYS:
Last Friday morning Mrs. John o.

miles below town, attempted to com
nit suicide by jumping in front of
an approaching freight train on the
F., M. q 2. road. When the train
was nearly to her she gave the Jump
which she thought would instantly
end her life. The train struck her
and knocked her off the track, but
caught her legs, and as the train
moved past her she attempted to
crawl back under the moving train
but was prevented from doing so.
1t is stated that her mind has been
unbalanced for some time, and she
has repeatedly made threats that
she would end her life. On the morn
ing mentioned she talked of drown
ing herself, but her friends thought
it was only talk She is the daugh-
ter of John Hawkins, and is about
twenty five years of age. She was
taken to her home and Drs. Fitch
and Brownfield of this place, and
DR.. Cook, of Montana, dressed her
wounds. The bones of her legs were
badly mashed and had to be ampu-
tated, both legs below the knees. At

not end her life.

What About the Clark Property?

A proposition was made by DR..
Byron Clark, of Washington, Pa,
through his attorney, to the County
Court in which DR., Clark offered to
sell to Monongalia county the Clark
property on the corner of Walnut
and High streets, and which takes
up part of the Court House square.
The price asked is $9,250. The
court took no action in the matter.
DR.. Clark said to New DOMINION
reporter: II have no desire whatever
to sell this property as it is good
investment but I'm willing to let the
county have it as it would vastly
improve the appearance of the pub
lie square to have it removed / now
have the plans for new building
which | propose to erect on the va
cant part of this lot if the county.
does not wish to buy it."
DR.. Clark also said, that he had
left the matter in the hands of some
of our leading citizens and if they
can assure him within a few DAYS
that the county will buy the lot he
will not commence the erection of
the new business house, otherwise,
he will let the contract at once 1t
will not be possible to tell for some
days yet what will be done in the
matter. DR.. Clark said he did not
want the money and the county
could take its time in paying for
same. 1t is to be hoped that this
eye sore will be purchased and re-
moved.
