"FARMER"HEWITT GETS THERE.
-four Own Jakey Makes Shows of the
Chicago Ba tsmen.

Jake Hewitt, of Morgantown, who
is pitching for the National League
team of Pittsburg, in his first game
last Thursday at Chicago did well
IN the first inning but lost his head
in the second. He turned up smil
ing in Fridays game of which the
associated dispatches from Chicago
have the following: Farmer Hew-
lit, undaunted by his disastrous
start yesterday, took another trial
to- day, and his work resulted in a
complete reversal of public opinion.
Yesterday the lad who was called
from the pillow to make his mark in
the baseball world seemed to be out
of the National league class; to-day
he made show of Anson's pet bats
men, and most of the few hits scored
against him were recorded to the
credit of the players low in the bat
ting order Hewitt had wonderful
control Of the ball, good speed and
deceptive curves. His only gift was
base on balls to LANCE in the first
inning"
The score was 5 to in favor of
Pittsburg and Jakey, or Farmer
Hewitt" as he has been dubbed in
the baseball world, is right in the
swim.

&. A. KAISER DEAD.
Accidentally Shct by Florida Despera-
does.

News of the tragic death Of Gus.
tave A. Kaiser will be received here
with regret by many of our people
where Mr.. Kaiser was widely known.
The first news was by an associated
press dispatch from West Palm
Beech, Florida,in reference to a lynch
ing that occurred there on last Sun
day.
For several years Mr.. Kaiser was
part owner and the manager of the
Victor Elevator Mills here. He came
from Florida to Morgantown about
1889 and was employed as book
keeper at the Experiment Station
for year He resigned his place
there to go into the Victor Mills
which he managed successfully until
1892 when he sold out to his asso-
ciates and removed to Chicago. For
about two years he was a grain bro
ker and dealer in that city, Last
Fall he removed again to Florida for
the benefit Of his health and was
soon appointed deputy sheriff, his
duties among other things being to
act as jailor. His residence was at
Juno the place FROM which the mes
sage came. The unfortunate affair
and its cause is thus gwen by the
Associated Press, under date of Au-
gust IS:
Samuel Lewis, murderer of three
men, was taken from jail at Juno, at
3 a. m. by mob of masked men, and
lynched
When the mob demanded Lewis.
the jailer said they could have him
if they would harm no one else, to
which they consented. As the door
was opened negro deputy ran out.
Some one fired, missing him and
killing Gustaye Kaiser, the jailer.
The mob continued firing at the
negro, but he escaped. Four men
then entered the Jail, and took Lewis,
who begged pitifully for his life, to
a telegraph pole, where he was hang
ed, after which the body was riddled
with bullets.
Lewis shot and killed John High
smith, ex-tax collector of Dade coun-
ty, and his brother-in-law, George
Davis, in cold blood. Lewis escaped,
but a posse caught him August 16.
In arresting him, Lewis shot and
killed Deputy County Clerk Nc
Oregon Lewis is said to have killed
five men before.

THE LAND or Sun SHINE.
Mrs. Lightburn Writes to Old MoEoRga-
lis Friends from Her Splendid
Hesne sa the Pacific.

fsoNG BEACH, CALIFORNIA, 8Ga. a. -
Another year has passed and we have
enjoyed the weekly visits OF the New
DOMINION and the general news OF old
friends which is always found in its col
umns. l will try to show my appreeia-
ton by little note as to myself and my
sea side home. / have enjoyed nv past
year and find the old Pacific seems to be
weaving a spell around me here that
really has a charm, altho' old friends
and associations are never forgotten.
Our little city has improved very
much during the past year. We are
having some good permanent buildings
erected. We have electric lights which
are quite an improvement and the pros
peet OF the deep sea harbor here is fine.
This of course will turn the eyes of the
world to this locality and open a large
commercial trade which we do not now
enjoy.
Long Beach is now swelled TO its ut
most capacity with tourists and resort
people during the Chausauuua Assem-
bly, and other Assemblies.
Not long since had the pleasure of
meeting Rev. c. Crawford once resi-
dent OF Morgantown and doubtless many
viii remember him. He is married and
has 3 beautiful home in Pasadena,
beautiful city at the foot Of the hills, and
quite a celebrated resort both winter
and summer
This summer We had the pleasure Of
taking one Of, the delightful trips Of
Southern California, that is ascending
Mount Lowe by the electric incline rail-
way. This is recent achievement and
quite a success. The cars run on an in
elined track TO the top of the mountain ;
they are peculiar in appearance but
quite comfortable and afford a most
charming trip. About half way up is a
beautiful hotel built to accommodate
700 guests and has all the modern APP
pliances. On top OF the mountain is a
large telescope and Observatory the
largest in the world, and view of the
heavens through its powerful lenses is
never to be forgotten. There are mum.
bers OF other points Of interest to be
visited while there as well.
To say the least it was delightful
trip.
Crops all through California are fine
this year, Times are getting better and
everybody is happier, although they
have little cause for any thing else in
this ''Land of Sunshine " Well see
nay subject grows upon me / will close
by saying we hope to have the pleasant
visits of the INV DOMINION again anoth-
err year.

The gentlemen who have charge

the principal points were agreed up
on and last Saturday another meet

The capital stock of the Company

Dollars. ($l50,000).
They will manufacture what is
known as "three- plate
and the works at Pt. Marion will be
the only factory in the United States
making a specially of this kind of
glass.
For years it has been impossible
to supply the demand for plate
glass, on account Of the cost of pro
duction, but by this new process the
cost is reduced 3025.
The Company is composed of men
who represent both capital and ex,
perience, and operations will be
commenced at once for the construc-
tion of the Plant, which is expected
to be in operation by the coming
Fall.
The citizens of Point Marion have
shown much enterprise in this move

knows that Bart" Jones was one of
the very best Sheriffs that Monon-

satisfactorily to himself and his
creditors. He was too generous in
allowing taxes to run and was cut
off by death before he could make
