Editors at MankatO.

n Wednesday Of last week was a
great day for the editors Of Mime
sofa. They were entertained at Man
kato by the I Commercial club of that
| city, ably assisted by Editor Wise
and sons of the Review and the Hunt
boys of the Free Press. The Com
mercial club is a new. organization
composed mostly Of young men who
have banded together for the good Of
the city. They have handsome
quarters in l.. +. Hunts new Office

N At 3 p. m. carriage drive was Civ.
en- the editors and all places of note
about the city were inspected and
marked O. K. by the scribes. The
cement works, managed by that
prince of gentlemen, P. Fl. Carney,
and costing upwards of $250,0o0, is
perhaps the most noticeable enter
prise Of that city; the product of
the works is shipped to all parts Of
the country. The knitting works and
fibre works are also great institu-
tions and employ hundreds Of
hands. In the past year Mankato
has taken great strides forward not
equaled by any city Of its size in the
west. Scores of new and handsome
business blocks are now in course Of
reconstruction. We believe it is con-
Eservative estimate to say that in a
few years Mankato will be a city of
at least $4,000 people. It is full of
pushing, energetic business men,.

Athletics in the University.

The public spirited West Virgin
ians who have offered medals to the
victors in the coming athletic con
tests among the students of the West
Virginia University have done a
good thing that will encourage the
young men and contribute to the
success of the university on a really
practical line.
One of the best features of the
athletic contests should be the he,
gatta on the beautiful Monongahela
next June. There is a fine slackwa-
ter course that would delight the
heart Of any oarsman. There is the
material in the university for as
good crews as anybody can put

SENTENCED FOR FIVE YEARS.
Marion Tenant Pound Guilty but Will
Take an Appeal,

The trial of Marion Tenant
which commenced last Thursday is
the only case that has attracted any
attention so far during court, and it
was not given much thought by the
public, only few people taking the
trouble to listen to the testimony of
witnesses which lasted until Friday
euening. The details of the crime
for which Tenant was tried are fa-
miliar to New DOMINION readers, Last
April several parties living in New
Brownsville, this county, were poi
soned by drinking water from two
or three wells in that village and
suspicion was directed toward Ten
nant, who is photographer. An
analysis of the water showed that it
contained a liquid poison used by
photographers and Tenant was ar
rested, given hearing before jus
tice OF the Peace and committed to
jail and afterward admitted to
bail
The evidence was circumstantial
and some of those who heard it
thought it was not sufficiently strong
to convict.
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney
Frank Cox made the opening argu-
ment for the State Saturday morn
ing and was followed by l. G Lag
zell and L. v Keck for the defendant
and Prosecuting Attorney Geo. G..
Baker made the closing argument
for the State.
After receiving the instructions of
the Court the jury retired to their
room and in about one hour returned
to the court room and announced its
verdict which was, that 1.-The defen.
dant is guilty of the charge as he
stands indicted"
Judgment was suspended on the
verdict until future day of this term
andTennant was committed to jail. 1t
is understood that new trial will
be asked for and in case it is not
granted an appeal will be taken to
the State Supreme Court of Appeals.
The penalty for the crime of which
Marion Tenant has been adjudged
guilty is not less tban three or more
than eighteen years in the peniten-
tiary.
Yesterday evening the application
for new trial was over-ruled and the
unfortunate man was sentenced To
five years in the penitentiary.
On motion of the prisoner judg-
ment was suspended until the third
Monday in January 1896, in order to
give the said defendant an opportu.
nifty to make application TO the Su
preme Court OF Appeals of this State
for writ of error in this case.

That Foot Rail- Game.

The Mount Pleasant Journals ac-
count of the game of football played
at that place between the Mt. Pleas
ant Institute and the West Virginia
University team is made up of
list of errors, or presentations, ex-
cusabe only on the plea of ignor-
ance of the game or a down right
intention on the part of the reporter
to lie The journal says; "Prof.
Hartigan, Of the West Virginia Uni
versity one of the linesmen, who said
there was nothing unfair about the
play and that the Institute boys
were entitled to the six points they
had made"
DR.. Hartigan made no such state
ment. The Journals account of the
game says: "Mr Kunkle, whose re-
call whistle was not blown until Wy
ant was at least ten yards down the
open field on his way TO Morgan
towns goal with the ball, said he
would allow the home players six
points if they would agree that the
ball be put in play at their 30-yard
line from which Wyant scored"
Referee Kunkle made no such
statement and the effort of the Jour
nal to try make reputable institu
tons believe that the Institute OF
that place is made up of reputable
players can do naught but advertise
it's short comings. To say that the
Institute refused to pay the expenses
If the W. V. U. because there was
no game is to say that the Institute
does not recognize the umpire OF
referee, and consequently the Mt
| Pleasant Institute la on the list OF
snide teams.

The Farmers and Merchants Bank
opened its doors for business on Sat-
urday last. Though with little cere-
mony and no noise the new institu-
ton has already received several
thousand dollars in deposits and has
discounted a considerable amount of
paper. The bank occupies the quar-.
tiers of the old Monongahela Valley
bank on the corner where a similar
business has been conducted for more
than half century. 1t is favorite
location and so accustomed have
many people become to going there
that scores of them have unconscious
ly walked up and tried the door since
the other bank moved to the Odd
Fellows building The officers of the
new bank are too well known to need
any introduction or commentator
at our hands. Mr.. Lorentz, the pres
ident and executive head of the in
stitution has been in the business
for many years and is known as one
of our most careful, safe and conser-
vative men. Cashier Davis though
comparatively new conner in Nor
gantown is known to many of our
people and seems like an old resi-
dent. Sammy Chadwick will be the
teller and is already quite proficient
in his duties. There is no question
of the success of the new venture.

sault with intent to kill, sent word

a show be was brought out of Jail
and taken before his honor Judge
Hagans who administered lecture
that he will never forget. The Judge

sey some wholesome advice and he
promised faithfully to reform his
habits aud seek better associates
than those with whom he had kept
company 10 the past. The cases
against him will remain on the dock.
ct and if at any time he falls into
evil ways they will be pushed for all
they are worth. Dorsey's penchant
for "scrapping" has gotten him into
trouble several times and be has
been a regular attendant at court

But THEY GOT 1T BACK.
Two Young Men Of Marion County Use
Extraordinary Means to Get Wives.
Fairmont Index

The records of the County Clerk !
office show a very peculiar business
transaction. Up to recently, and +,
may be in existence yet, there was a

der the firm name of Baker Bros. II
was composed of Marshal O. Baker
and his brother, Charles q. Baker.
These young men were regarded as
shrewd business men and good ira
ders, and were thought to be pros
pering. They had a general country
store. Besides this they owned joint
ly several pieces of valuable real es.
tate. On the 9TH of this month two
deeds were admitted to reccid, in
which each Of the partners convey
ed away his entire interest in the
store, and all his property. both real
and personal, to his lady love, upon
the condition that she would marry
him on or before October 9th. Mar
shal conveyed his property to Miss
Ella Riggs, and by the deed Miss
Sadie E. Thompson only had to be
come Mrs Charles G. Baker TO nave
the absolute title to the property of
her husband We understand that
the girls have complied fully with
the consideration in the deed, and
each can now write her name Mrs
Baker. The ceremony was performed
in Oakland We doubt If any coun-
ty in the State can show a more IN
usual transaction. The girls are all
sweet, and some of them come high,
but it seems that the boys must
