Watts Losing Ground.

And so on we may go through the
entire State and show that first san
guine estimates of Watts strength
have been greatly shaken from their
foundation by the new conditions
which have arisen, and when the con
vention meets, it will be found that
Watts may not show up with more
than 800 votes which he may count
ON as certain for him on the first
ballot, while there will be even a
greater number for Smith. Mr..
Watts is farther off from the nomi-
nation than he was week ago, and
will be beaten. cannot see, in view
of the new developments, how he can
recover his lost ground, without the
withdrawal of one or two candidates.
1t is hardly likely that the strength
of Ralphsynder would go to Watts if
Mr.. Ralphsnyder should withdraw
for the feeling between the two men
is not of the Damon and Pythias
brand. Every condition at this time
points to the probability that Colon
ell Smith will steadily gain from now

Murdered H,s wife

A murder occurred at Sistersville
few days ago at which time Elmer
Semons says he was awakened by the
report Of pistol shot and found that
his wife had been murdered. An ex-
animation Of the remains was made
and an autopsy held, but as no bullet
was found the woman is supposed to
have been killed by a blow from some
sharp instrument. When found she
was lying in bed and no evidence OF a
struggle, and very little blood had
flowed from the wound. The husband
was arrested and locked up, but SEEM
ed very little affected over the muir
der. When examined before the cor
oner he broke down and wept profuse-
ly. He is still locked up and it is pos
sible that he will be held to answer
until the mystery is cleared up. The
fact that no bullet was found goes to
disproye his story to the effect that
she was shot.

THE TYGART MANUFACTURING co MPANY
Among the enterprising business
firms located in Morgantown, none
are more favorably known than the
Tygart Manufacturing Co., manu-
facturers of doors, window sash and
all kinds of building supplies.

as successor to that of Fairchild,

building supplies, manufactured car
riages, buggies DC.
Their plant is equipped with all
necessary machinery for producing
the highest grade of work in their
line. They have been supplying the
trade for so long that all it's de
mands are known to them and can
be filled accurately and promptly at
any time, and at prices that are as
low as those of any factory in the
country. One of their specialties is
stair work, for which they have very
large demand.
None but skilled workmen are en-
ployed in their shops, and good ma
terial is used in all work turned out.
Their out of town trade is very
extensive. Among their many pay
ing customers may be mentioned the
National Transit Co., for which they
furnish fine work that is used in
New York, Philadelphia and numer-
GUS other cities and towns in Penn
sylvania, Ohio and West Virginia.
The demand for their product is suf-
ficient to keep them busy all the
time.
Their shops are situated in South
Morgantown, convenient to B. Il o.
r. r. tracks.
This company is on firm tinan-
cial basis, having for its stockhold-
ers a number of most substantial bus
mess man. Mr. A. Fairchild, who be-
sides being an Industrious and sue
cessful business man, is an affable
and congenial gentleman, is the SUI
perintendent.

In recent years a number of stran-
gers have come to Morgantown and
have gone into business along var
ious lines. Among the most success
full of these is Jason Clark, dealer in
hay, grain, etc. Although Mr.. Clark
has been here but short time, he is
no longer stranger, but one Of Nor
gantown's most valued citizens and
energetic business men. He is here
to stay and share in the increasing
prosperity of the town. He began bust
mass here with merely a local trade,
but has extended it until at present
it embraces also an extensive whole
sale trade. reaching various points
throughout the State. He owns his
store room in South Morgantown,
where can be found always ON hand
a large supply of hay, grain, -four
and feed. He orders his supplies in
large quantities directly from the
west, paying cash down for all ship
ments and is thereby enabled to give
his customers the benefit of dis
counts and sell to them at the very
lowest prices. Mr.. Clark makes a
speciality Of handling the famous
spring wheat patent Leader Flour
which is going ahead of all other
brands now on the market. Persons
desiring supplies in his line should

and paper hanger. Mr.. Jones came
to Morgantown in 1898 and entered
upon the pursuit of his trade. The
work that he turned off was the only
recommendation that was necessary
to bring him all the patronage that
he could attend to, in fact it was but
short time until he was compelled
to employ an assistant. At the end
of "a year he purchased a large stock
Of wall paper and was then able
both to furnish his customers with
supplies, and to do their work with
more convenience and less expense
to themselves.
In the spring. of 1895, Mr. Jones
opened up store room on Peasants
street, one door above the postoffice
which he stocked with a larger supply
of wall paper than he had formerly
carried, together with full line OF
paints, oils, brushes, window shades
and all kinds of painters and paper
hangers supplies. Also large and
well selected line of stationery car
be found in his store.
Persons desiring house painting
artistic sign painting or paper hang

consult him before giving out their
contracts. He uses only the best
paints and oils in all his work.
His stock of wall paper is large

every one. 1t comprises from the
most expensive quality down to the
very cheapest grade.

cation on its own account in regard to the
silver question. Today was the regular
monthly pa. day for the employees of the
Kentucky .oration and they received
their pI, .~."ptly. But they were paid
in silHl I'D in silver only. Heretofore
the mel have received their pay in gold, ex-
cept where it was necessary to give them
silver to make the change. Today, how
ever, the gold was conspicuous by its alb
senCe, and the creditors Of the company
walked home with their pockets loaded
down with silver dollars, halves and quar-
tiers. There was protest against receiving
the silver on the part Of the men, but il
was such an evident attempt on the part OF
the railroad to coerce its employees that
many who had not heretofore expressed
decided opinions on the subject declared tc
their friends that if such methods were tc
be employed to influence THEN votes they
would resent it by voting for Bryan anc
