ASSAULTED

A woman was attacked and
beaten in her room at Parkers.
burg by a negro last Friday
about midnight The members
of the family are Mr.. aud Mrs.
Elliott Deem. their daughter.
Mrs. Roberts, and a young girl.
The assault was made upon
Mrs. Roberts. who had been
reading i'll her bed until a late
hour, and who had extingulshed
her light and been asleep only a
short time, when she was awak-
ened by some one lighting her
lamp.
She saw negro in the room.
and jumping out of her bed de-
manded what hewas doing there.
Without replying he struck her
with some heavy weapon. but
she resisted bravely. and saved
her life. Her screams alarmed
the negro, who escaped.
A young negro named Erd.
Easeley telephoned to the police
from the Schafer Hotel that he
had heard of the attempted muir
der. He was arrested, and 1t is
now reasonably certain that he
is the criminal himself. 1t is
also thought by many that he is
the scoundrel who had committed,
a number of outrages of a similar
nature in Parkersburg recently.
The feeling against Easeley at
that place is very bitter.

Broaddus.


The fall term of Broaddus In.
stitute begins on Tuesday Sept.
8, 1896. AS the time draws near
it becomes apparenttoth friends
of the school that one of its most
prosperous years is about to be-
gin. The coming of that finish
ed scholar and able educator.
Prof. Llebig, to the presidency
is matter of rejoicing to all who
are interested in first class edu.
cationa! institution for Clarks-
burg. Mr. Liebig's familiarity
with educational work not only
in the United States, but in Eu.
rope, where he took part of his
college course, peculiarly quail
ties him for the work he has un-
dertaken at Broaddus. he has
been untiring in his efforts to
secure a large attendance for the
opening and the prospect now is
very encouraging. Prof. Liebig
is confident tkata larger teach
ing force will be needed and ar
rangements have been made to
employ a Professor of Mathe-
matics and the Sciences full
college graduate who will in
struct in Normal work and or
ganize a class in free-hano
mechanical dl awing to which all
students will be admitted with
out extra cost. The attendance
from the itypromises to be very
good and most of the old stud
ents will return, bringing many
of theif friends with them. We
are glad to see this growing in
terest in higher education in our
midst. Clarksburg is certainly
one of the healthiest towns IN
the State and this means much
to prospective students. The
people of the city most cordially
welcome the young men and
young ladies who desire to come
here to educate themselves.
