Pearson Defeats Adams fer Congress.

AshevilIe, Nov. 4.-Later reports
from the counties in the ninth district
indicate that Pearson has defeated
Adams for Congress. The estimated
Democratic majorities in the counties
are not as large at the first figures,
while the Republican majorities are
generally larger than had been con-
ceded by the Democrats. The Repub-
licans tonight figure that they will
have majority of possibly 100, not
counting Mitchell. and this they expect
to give Pearson more than 900.

is that it will tackle anything on

The second team ate turkey and

it did last season and that must be
the reason.
The Columbians elected for Presi-

and universities will be represented
and great literary treat will be CIV

fitting by the mistakes of the past
will come out victor in this contest.
The preliminary contest will be held
in February between the two socie-
ties and will prove intensely inter

sKINNER's TAVERN.
Benny Williams Famous Stopping
Place Described.

Talking about hotels, says Bion IL.
Butler in the Pittsburg Times, the
loyal denizen of Fairmont will call
the attention of the stranger to the
magnificent Watson hotel, he will al
so remark about another place of en-
tertainment in the town, "Skinner's
Tavern" SINNERS tavern is sur
vival of the old town joined to Gre
alton of the new. 1t stands at the
foot of one of the steepest hills in
Fairmont, up two flights of stairs from
the railroad depot, and near the end
of the long suspension bridge. Unless
visitor climbs into town the back
way or falls in from a balloon, he
must pass SINNERS tavern to get in
to Fairmont. If he has sense he
doesn't pass the tavern at all, but
stops right there. 1t is run by a
Greene county youth named Williams,
who modestly announces that you
can't beat SINNERS tavern, even il
you cheat. When you stop in the
office which fronts on the street, you
look around and wonder where the
hotel is. To go to supper you must
go out on the porch and along the
house to find the dining room. You
go out on the same porch, and up a
stairway to another porch to find your
room. The bath room and barber
shop are across the yard, which is
lighted by an electric light hanging
from a branch of an apple tree. Or
iginally. the tavern was low. LONG
building, ranged half around a square,
like the Mexican style of architecture.
With the later addition, it is clear
round the square. At the lower side
it is three stories high. At the up
per side the third story is entered
from the ground and is the first story.
The second story has an entrance
from the ground about midway Of the
block.
But the Greene county man who
runs it knows what a tavern needs to
catch the people, and every night the
house is full. The table is novel and
good. The walters are serio-comic,
and give their orders to the kitchen
in tone that conveys the impression
that the kitchen hands are deaf, or
are over on the other side of the hill.
The beds are clean, and the rooms,
when you get into them, attractive
and comfortable. And, with any
other name, ''Skinner's Tavern"
would not be appropriately fitted. 1t
isn't hotel 1t is just a mighty
good tavern.

WAS IT MURDER
MtAnaney may Have Fallen at the
Hands OF Q William In the Woods.
Pitssburg Times.

The remains of Thomas E. McAn-
Hney, who was found near PaIatine,
in Galahue's grove, West Virginia,
have been inferred in Pittsbprg. but
the mystery of the young mans
death has not been cleared up. The
foster father of Thomas has returned
from Palatine, and he stated to re-
porter that his foster-child had not
committed suicide But Harry Nc
Ananey is not certain that his boy
was not murdered. There are indi-
cations that Thomas was foully
slaughtered and thrown behind
tree, where he lain for upward of Ia
months.
A son of George Adams, of Pala
tine, found the remains. When he
discovered them the head was en-
tirely severed from the body and
partly buried in the ground. This
would indicate foul play, because,
had McAnaney laid down and
died, his bones would have been
found together. So suspicious are
the circumstances surrounding the
death " the young man that the
criminal Authorities of West Virgin
la wip prosecute diligent search
into tn, matter.
Harry McAnaney said yesterday !:
Il am absolutely satisfied the bones
are those of my foster-son. l know
his clothes: he had knife in his
pocket which gave him; false teeth,
and bottle with cloves in it. All
these things Thomas had when he
left home October 8, 1895.
'One of the strangest things in
connection with the death of my fos-
ter-son. is that his body should
have lain close to a beaten path for
IA months without being found. /
cannot account for it, nor can the
people in the locality where he is
supposed to have died. People were
constantly passing to and fro along
the path, and it would seem reason
able to suppose that someone would
have noticed it. 1t is a mystery any
how"
Mr.. McAnaney scouts the idea that
the young man committed suicide.
Mr.. McAnaney had the remains pre-
pared for shipment, and inferred at
Uniondale cemetery, Allegheny
A dispatch from Fairmont, w. Va.
says that when McAnaney's remains
were dug up several things were
found which complete the identified
ton. There were taken from his
pockets silver dollar, two pennies
and bottle, said to have contained
poison. McAnaney's foster father,
however, is positive that the young
man did not commit suicide.

How are you going to get to the
new depot when it is finished? As
yet we have heard of no move being
made for street to Elk creek or for
a bridge over it. 1t is rumored that
a toll bridge will be built. We trust
such is not the case. A toll bridge
would hurt Clarksburg's interest
and would engender an ill feeling be-
tween the city and the county at
large. Toll bridges are always UNI
popular. The people in Monongalia
living on the East and West sides of
the Monongahela river are ready to
scratch each others eyes out because
the suspension bridge at Morgan
town is toll bridge, and we could
give numerous other instances. 1t
is time some move was being made
for ingress and egress from the
new. depot which we hear will soon
be finished and ready for occupancy.

NEARLY BURNED TO DEATH.
Narrow Escape OF Citizen of Cheat
Neck.

SMITHFIELp, Dec. 4.-Beth Jenkins
who keeps the Jenkins hotel in Cheat
Neck, near Calvary church, came
very nearly being burned to death
last Tuesday. Mr.. Jenkins noticed
smoke issuing from his hay NOW in
the barn, and climbed up into the
NOW to see where the smoke came
from. He found, when in the NOV,
that the fire was rapidly spreading
all over his barn, and if he had not
been assisted to get away by the
hired girl, he would have been burn
ed to death. As it is, his face and
hands were burned to crisp. and
he is in critical condition. The
barn was located close to the house.
and several times the flames caught
the house, but were each time put
out by his reighbors. He lost all
his feed, grain, harness and machin-
cry. Mr. Jenkins is 72years of age,
and a member of the G. A. r. Post
here.-Neics Standard.

While the project is being dscuss-
ed of extending Main street up the
hill at the North end, it would not
be amiss to give little considera-
ton to the extension of the South
end.
To bridge Decker's creek and open
the street to the cemetery would
give us about mile of straight
street, very beautiful in itself, and
would open the way to an extension
and development of the town that
could hardly be accomplished for the
same money by any other plan.
This extension of the South end
could be accomplished for less mon
ey, perhaps, than it would cost to
extend the North end few rods.
Both are desirable, but there is no
comparison of the benefits that
would accrue to the town that does
not make the southern extension
seem most desirable
A like enterprise at Fairmont soon
built up a territory that now rivals
the main town in population. But
for the bridge across the ravine, all
that territory South of Fairmont
would have now been virtually I'M
occupied, and the great advantage it
has brought to that town, would have
been lost.
We may repeat the same thing
here with the same results. Let
bridge extend Main street in an I'M
broken stretch from Wiley st. to the
cemetery, and it will add one-third
to our suburban population within a
short time
Moreover it can be done at a trif-
ling cost when considered with the
returns it would make to the town.
1t might be that the county would
join the town in paying for it in as
much as new county bridge will
soon have to be built over Decker's
creek.
AT any rate this matter is worth
consideration as profitable and
promising project for helping our
boom.

On THE EVE OF HIS MARRIAGE
Harry Shuttlesworth, Of Clarksburg,
Disappears.-The Story Is that He
Left Note to his Intended Saying he
Could not Marry Her.

CLARKsBURa, w. Va, Nov. 30.-A
sensation has been caused here by
the sudden disappearance of Harry
Shuttlesworth, book keeper in the
Merchants National Bank, and a
member of one of the oldest and most
prominent families in this place.
Shuttlesworth was to have been
married Tuesday to Miss Mollie Pin
nell, of this place, but, it is claimed,
he wrote her note before disap-
pearing, telling her he could not
keep the engagement
1t is reported that before leaving
the city Shuttlesworth transferred all
of his real and personal property to
his father and that in return he re-
ceived $4,000 for expenses.
The elder Shuttlesworth was
strongly opposed to the marriage of
his son to Miss Pinnell, who is an
operator in the local telephone ex-
change, and although poor, is of one
of the best families here.
The young lady is Frustrated with
grief over the affair.
Shuttlesworth's connection with the
bank had nothing to do with his al
legged departure.
