SAMUEL D. FABIAN
Commits Suicide by Shooting Him
self Through the Head.

The town was startled yesterday
morning by the report that Mr.
Samuel ID. Fabian, who resides
about mile above town, where he
was engaged i'm truck gardening,
had shot and killed himself about
1920 a. m. <
Investigation of the rumor by
reporter of the Register found the
rumor too true.
The unfortunate man had been
suffering from heart trouble for
some time, and it is thought this
made him despondent and drove,
him to the rash act.
The weapon used was 3S-cali-
bre revolver He placed the muats
zle of the revolver in his mouth,
and the bullet ranged upward and
backward, entering the brain and
killing him instantly.
His daughter, Miss Jessie, was
out in the kitchen preparing dim
ner at the time, when she heard
the report of the revolver,
and going to his room inn
mediately, found her father welt
ering in his blood, dead, with
the revolver in his hand. She inn
mediately gave the alarm, and when
neighbors came to her assistance,
they met a CHASTITY sight.
The deceased was about SO years
of age, and leaves three daughters
and one son.
The deceased had been down in
town Tuesday, when he purchased
the cartridges for his revolver.
Coroner DIR. Hugh Barbee ex-
examined the body, and decided
that he came to his death, as above
stated
1t is said that he had made an
attempt on Monday to kill himself
with shotgun, but it prematurely
discharged, and he claimed it went
off while he was fixing the lock.

Carriers aud Matrlmony.

Atall times garters have been con-
sidered very important details of
woman's dress, and always associat-
ed in some manner with matrimony.
Down through half dozen CEN
ituries comes to us a practice today
of having the garters as the finish
ing touch of the brides toilet.
The particular girl friend who is
permitted to slip them into place
is condeded to stand the best pos
sible chance of wedding happily
before twelve months are out. A
prospect of near and blissful mat
rimony is also shared by the friend
who secures the privilege of max
ing BRIDES garters, the proper
pattern of which is now circle of
white silk elastic covered with en-
broidered white satin and clasped
by a small gold buckle enamelled
in white bow knots. The garters of
Marie Antoinette were pretty pink
silk bands elaborately embroidered
on the upper half in tiny jewels
and gold thread. In an American
family are preserved the bridal
garters of titled English ances-
tress. These are of white silk,
nearly two inches broad, and deco
rated with round buttons made of
seed pearls, from which suspend
pearl cords and tassels two inches
long.

Woman's CANT.

She can't, for the life of her,
make head nor tail of time table.
She can't be jolly and appreciate
the best time going, if she knows
her hair is out of curl.
She can't when it's question
between Cupid and herself, help
saying "no" when she means "yes,"
and vice versa.
She cannot, not even the most
daring of her sex, scratch a match
on the sole of her boot-at least, in
an unconcerned manner.
The prospeotors for oil are NOV
ing steadily into central West
Virginia, under cheerful promises,
and one of these days the natural
wealth of the State will surprise
the world, if it has not gone be-
yond the point of surprise, as re-
suit of what has already beeu done
there. Pittsburg Times.

Peculiar Actions.

Last night about 1890 Mr.. 70. w.
Craig went to Policeman Smiths
house, summoning him to his resi-
dence on First street, informing the
officer that there was a man in his
house whom he4.hought might be
drunk. The fellow had gotten into
closet, and when the officer ar
rested him, he said he did not
know what he was doing. He was
taken to Jail and looked up and
will have hearing this morning.
The fellow proved to be Joseph
Murphy, deck hand on the Iron
sides. He was fined $500, and in
default of payment, was sent to
Jail to work his fine out on the
streets.

DAVE NeALE
Again in Trouble for Stealing Chickens,
and in jail.

Davie Neale, who has been in
trouble before for appropriating
other peoples property to his own
uses, was arrested last night by
officers Foglesong and Smith, upon
a warrant sworn out by Will Bog
CESS, and landed in Jail.
He is charged with stealing
twenty-one chickens from the
widow Boggess, who resides near
the X. & NJ. depot. Neale was
caught last night just after he had
disposed of four of the chickens to
Bryan & Young. just before that
he had sold number of chickens
TO S. w. Swisher, who sold n
number of them to Mr. Harmon
in the extension. The officers
hustled around and secured thir-
teen of the chickens.
Neale had been using one of the
county coal houses as a coop for
the stolen chickens, He would go
out and canvass the town for their
sale, and deliver the goods at night.
Being caught dead to rights"
it is more than likely this last
thieving of his will give him few
years in the pen.

PerrIne's Comet.

Much interest has been evinced
of late in the announcement that a
comet will hit us amidship about
the first of March But there is
no use to be worrying about it.
If.it's destined to side-swipe us, the
best that we can do is to take it as
easily as possible. If we come out
of it all right, science they say, will
be greatly advanced, and we may
tell our grandchildren of the occa-
sion with great gusto, and con
sciousness of having seen a glimpse
of the probable hereafter without
turning hair. But the danger is
not5what it's cracked up to be. Prof.
Lenschner, of the California State
University, has completed his cal
culations of the orbit of the new
comet discovered by Astronomer
Perrine, of the Lick Observatory, a
few days ago. The stranger i'll the
heavens was only 4O,O00,OO0 miles
away from the earth Thursday, and
is now coming toward us at the
rate of 1 100000 miles a day. Prof.
Lenschner says there is no cause
for alarm, however,. He has figur-
ed out that the comet will take a
new tack on March first, and sheer
off from the earth.

Arrested.
Some time ago Mrs. Anna Den
ton had stolen from her a bon, val
ued at about $500. Yesterday
she Ereceived an unsigned letter,
telling her if she would go to the
Simpson residence in the upper
part of town she would find the boa
in the hired girls room, either in a
trunk or under the mattress. Mrs.
Denton Immediately swore out a
search warrant and officers went to
the house and into Manda Mays
room, where they found the boa be-
hind a trunk. Barbara Mays, her
sister, had been up there in the
morning, and it was supposed she
dropped the package behind the
trunk to put suspicion upon her
sister. Mrs. Denton swore out n
warrant for Barbara Mays and she
was arrested and arraigned before
Squire Phelps, on the charge of
stealing. She had a preliminary
hearing yesterday, and the Justice
reserved his decision until this
morning. In the mean time Bar
bara was remanded to Jail. Geo.
Poffenbarger prosecuted the case,
and l.. g. Somerville defended the
accused. She is notorious woman,
and has figured in many escapades
in this town, and if by this prosecu-
ton she can be driven from the
town, the town will be all the better
for being rid of her,
