Ter county last week on charge of
bastardy preferred by Myrtle Mas
tiers, a good looking Is year old girl
of this place. Masters was brought
to Morgantown by the Sheriff of Ty-
Ter county and taken before Squire
M. Hayes who made out the papers
committing him to jail in default of
bail. The Sheriff started to the jail
with his prisoner and the latter be-
ing struck with the beauties of Nor
gantown requested the sheriff to
walk around town with him. The
Sheriff was in an accommodating
mood and they took stroll about
town. When passing Hunts res
taurant about dinner time Masters
proposed taking dinner and the
Sheriff feeling empty himself as
sented. After being in the restau-
rant few minutes Masters remark
ed that he was going to the toilet
room and he went, in fact is still 90
ing. The last seen of him he had
just passed through the cucumber
patch at the Experiment Station,
paused moment on Prices Hill
and barring his head to the cool
breeze that famed his cheeks he
took one long look at the beautiful
scene presented to view from that
point and then disappeared. Mas,
tiers is a good looking young man
and cousin of the girl with whose
ruin he stands charged.

Advertising Sharks.

An exchange recently published
the following bit of sound logic:
There is hardly week passes by
in which some fakir doesn't come
along with some advertising scheme
to catch our merchants. Last week
it was a woman with Trade Re
view of some sort-write you up
and sell you all the papers you want
for five cents each. These papers
were for distribution among the "peo
pie who don't take newspapers. ="
This week it was an advertising
fan"-a cheap pie,e of cardboard
with a cheap wooden handle the
space on which was sold to enter
prising merchants. We have only
one word to say-better stick to your
home newspaper. 1t stands by you
and your town tiftv-two weeks in the

Mrs. Louisa j. Boughner Dead.

Mrs. Louisa j Boughner, widow
of Dr. James V. Boughner, died at
3:45 a. m. Saturday, July 81, 1895,
at her residence on High street. She
was a daughter of the late Hon. An
drew Brown, who represented this
county in the Legislature of Virgin
ia. She was born at the Brown home
stead in Clay district Nov. 81, 1924.
She and DR.. Boughner were married
May s, 1S45. Shortly after their
marriage they located at Mt Morris,
Pa, and resided there for several
years and until they returned to this
county few years before the war.
Her husband had a lucrative prac-
tice as a physician, and was promi.
nent in politics, being a member OF
the Legislature of Pennsylvania
while they were residents of Mt.
Morris, and afterwards of the House
of Delegates of West Virginia from
this county and he was U. S. pay
master during the war and held 9th
er federal offices. Her daughters,
Mrs. Mary L. Howe and the Misses
Matte and Emma, and her sons,
VIM. L. and A. Brown, survive her.
Rosalie, her daughter, died about a
year ago.
Mrs. Boughner was a most estim-
able lady. She was highly educated
and cultured She was a aragon
in every desirable respect.
In society and as Christian, as
wife and as q mother she shone. A
person who had known her all her
life might have truthfully said to
her:
"To those who know thee not, no words
can paint,
And those who know thee, know all
words are faint"
The poet had in mind such wom-
an as Mrs. Boughner was when he
wrote:
CANCELS are painted fair, to look like
you:
There's in you all that we believe OF
Heaven;
Amazing brightness, purity and truth,
Eternal joy, and everlasting love-"
She joined the NJ E. church at the
age of fourteen, and she was ever a
consistent and active member She
not only always professed that she
had faith, hope and charity, but she
was at every opportunity happy to
be charitable.

A Pennsylvania Murderer Caught al
MOn0ngah.

Last Tuesday Geo. Windish, a
German, was arrested at Monongah,
on the information of Patrick Nc
Cam, on the charge of numbering
his wife on or about the 10th of last
April, at their home in Pittston, Pa.
A reward had been offered for the
arrest of Windish, but he had SO
far eluded the officers of the law.
1t was thought HE had returned to
the old country where the officers
were looking for him. Last Monday
he applied for work at Monongah,
which was given him. Mccain, who
formerly resided in the same town,
knew Windish and also of his crime,
and had him arrested and placed in
Jail. Windish expressed surprise to
Mccain that he should give him
away. Windish's wife was found in
the house some four or five days af-
ter she had been murdered. Wind
ish's said to Mann that his wife was
well when he left home. Mccain
telegraphed to the chief of police,
Joseph Lotus, of Pittston, and re
ceived word to hold him, and he ar
rived yesterday. A reward of ST.
900 had been offered for the arrest
of Windish, and Mr.. Mccain will of
course be entitled to this.-Fatr-

A Good Word for the University.
Wetzel Democrat

Mr.. Waitman T. Barbe, of the
State University, attended the SEES
sions of the Teachers Institute on
Monday and Tuesday. His object
in visiting the Institute was, nc
doubt, to impress upon the minds
of our teachers the fact, not so well
known as it should be, that we have
in our State University, one of the
most advanced Institutions of Learn
ing in the United States There is
no other University which is more
completely in line with the progress
sive schools of the country than our
State University. Besides, the ex.
pense of attending the University is
insignificant when compared with
many other places Tuition is abso-
lutely nothing, and board and lodg
ing are to be had upon terms the
most reasonable. Wetzel county had
seven students last year, but we hope
to see the number doubled the pres
ent year.

MET AFTER 20 YEARS.
Strange Reunion of Father and Son
at ChillicOthe, o.
Connellsville Courie


George Shores, of Vanderbilt, FAY
cite county, Pa, disappeared from
his home very mysteriouslv two
weeks ago, and has not been heard
from since His wife and family are
in destitute circumstances. The
following from the Chillicothe News
probably explains his absence:
can affecting scene occurred in
this place Saturday morning, when
father and son met after a separa-
ton of 20 years. In fact the father
had not seen the boy since he was an
infant few weeks old, but, strange
to say, knew him at once when they
met on the street by chance. The
fathers name is George W. Shores,
who, at the opening of the rebellion,
was a resident of Louden county,
Virginia, and who enlisted in the
Union army. After the war a son,
Sidney Shores, was born. The child
was given in charge of his grand
parents, while the father went to
Vanderbilt, Pa, where for 90 years
he was employed in making coke. A
correspondence had been kept up be-
tween Shores and the boys friends
for years, but for various reasons
they never met. Some time ago
young Shores moved to Chillicothe
and obtained employment. When
the father learned his son was here
he came to this city on Saturday to
see him. He was going down street
looking for the boy when he saw a
young man coming toward him. He
said the parental instinct at once
told him that was his son. He stop
ped the young man and asked him
if he could tell where Sidney Shores
could be found. The young fellow
said he was the person, and then the
father announced who he was. The
meeting was happy one"

A Youthful Horse Thief.
Fairmont index.

A sad spectacle was witnessed at
the County Jail on last Saturday
Addison Prentice, boy about elev-
en- years of age and small for his
years, was incarcerated on the
charge of horse stealing The &C.
cused is a son of Mr.. W. j. Prentice,
who lives on DIR. Binn's farm in Lin
coin district, and works at Monon-
gah. Addison is one of those incor.
rigible little fellows who has no re-
spect for anybody, and obeys no one
but his father, and he, on account
of his business, being away from
home most of the time, leaves the
boy to the control of his mother
who is unable to manage him. He
does just as he pleases, and has the
reputation among the neighbors of
being a very bad boy. Last week
he got in rowing spell and went
down near Rivesville and took d
horse belonging to Frank Satterfield
and started as it is supposed to Wis.
it his grandfather, who lives neal
Hundred, Wetzel county He went
by his house and got his two dogs
and then left. He was seen near
Fairview, and in various parts OF
the county acting as if he had los,
his way and was just wandering
around. His father hearing of his
departure got Duke Binns to go in
search of him. Duke got on his
track and found him, the horse and
two dogs, near Glover's Gap, and
brought him back home. Last Sat
urday Constable William Meredith
went after him and brought him to
Jail, The father OF the boy feeling
that it was impossible to manage
him at home, laid in a complaint
charging him with being incorrigi
BILE, and asked that he be sent TO the
Reform School. This will probably
be the result of the matter. The
boy did not take the horse with any
criminal intent, but he is of just
such disposition that requires re-
straining in the Reform school.

AS Dorsey Slime, and Capt. W.
b. Parchment, a Pittsburg gen
tleman, and four young ladies were
returning home from over Cheat the
horses became manageable coming
down the hill at the East end of Will
ley street and in making the turn at
the foot of the hill the hind wheel of
the carriage struck fence post and
the carriage was turned upside down
and the occupants thrown into the
road. 1t was at first thought that
Dorsey Slime was seriously injured
and DR.. Jas. p. Fitch was summoned
who brought him around all right,
though he had to be carried to his
home. The other occupants escaped
with more or less bruises. The top
of the carriage was torn off, the
tongue broken and it was in a gener-
ally smashed up condition. The
horses escaped without scratch.
The carriage is very heavy three
seated one and the heavy load in it
made it impossible for the horses to
hold it back after it got started down
the hill The only wonder is that
the occupants escaped with so few
injuries and they are considered as
being very fortunate.
