Narrow Escane.

Hon. E. NJ. Turner had narrow
escape from instant death or very
serious injury Tuesday morning. He
was going along Walnut street and
was in front of the unfinished Fred
Dering building when the accident
occurred. A large portion of the
moulding on top of the third story
had been left without any backing
up. The rain had softened the NOR
tar which held it in position until it
fell at the time Mr.. Turner was pass
ing. The mass of stone hardly
missed the gentleman and shattered
into fragments on the pavement
Had it struck him death would have
been instantaneous. He is to be
congratulated on his happy escape
from such great danger.

WE have had the quietest presi
dental campaign in the history OF
Morgantown. A Republican poll
tician who has been brought up
hereabouts is nothing if not bitter
and malicious toward his opponents
The absence of this spirit in this
campaign is the best proof that the
Australian ballot will be used here
as elsewhere to hide many desert
er from the gold bug ranks.
WE regret very much to learn o.
the serious accident that occurred tt
to Mrs. Amos Musgrave, near Hin
kle last week. She was driving with
her husband and two children wher
the horse driven by the children ran
off and crashed into her buggy over
turning them both. The children
escaped with slight bruises but Mrs
Musgrave was badly hurt. She was
removed to her home and at last ac
counts was doing as well as could
be expected.

the official ballot that will be used

A Card.

To the Editor of the New DOMINION:
l desire to say word in your col
umns concerning my arrest with my
husband a few das ags ON the
charge of selling brandy.
The proceedings was a low, ma
licious, cowardly matter from begin
ming to end. The sneaking cur who
caused it is guilty of perjury and
hides his identity behind the officers
of the court. He has not the man
hood to stand by the charges he SC
falsely made. And he no doubt
knew he was lying when he ut
tered words that caused my arrest.
never sold drop of brandy in
my life; don't believe in it's use and
never taste, touch or handle it.
would not even give drop to a
neighbor if he were i'll and / knew il
would cure him.
My husband makes brandy but
against my wishes and / will have
nothing to do with the accursed
stuff.
Let the poltroon who caused this
humiliation to me show his face in
daylight and then the public car
Judge whether he is credible wit
ness. MAGGIE M. HARRIS,

An Important Telephone Connection.

The Peoples Telephone Co. has
just completed telephone line to
Dellslow, and are now building

will connect with the Kingwood tele-
phone and telegraph company Civ
ing them connections with Kingwood
Rowlesburg, Newburg, Terra Alta,
Tunnelton, Grafton, Oakland, Mt.

West Virginia and Maryland. This
is very important connection for
Morgantown, filling long felt want.
Besides this they now have direct
connections with Waynesburg, Pa,
and Cameron, w. Va, and before
winter they expect to have eonnec-
tions with almost every postoffice in
Monongalia county. 1t is good
line giving excellent service and is
strictly a home enterprise and every

MONEY TALKS SAYS KEENER DURR
Here Is Chance For Local Buffers
But They Wont Take 1t.

Here is chance for some of the
Republican buffers to get some of
their stuff up if they have any stuff
and want it up. But we prophesy that
not one cent will be offered to back
the wild assertions of the excited
partisans around here who think
Monongalia elects president by her.
self. Mr.. j. X. DUR of Pittsburg is
a shrewd, far-seeing man, and one
who jumps at every chance to make a
little money. He heard of the wild
offers that are being made by local re-
publicans and in a letter has called
their bluff. He says: 81 will wager
even money that Bryan carries Kan
sas, Nebraska, Michigan and Mime
sofa; even money that Altgeld carries
Illinois; then in order to give some
one chance to back his Judgment
l will wager even money that there
is not republican in Morgantown
who can name fifteen states that Nc
Kinley can carry"
These offers are very unkind on the
part of Mr.. Durr for now the bluffs
will be of no service; and what is a
Morgantown republican withou this
little bluff? OF course no money from
here will be put up against these offers
and it is to be hoped that the entrap-
ped buffers will at least shut up.
Mr.. Durr concludes by saying, 81
don't think that Bryan can lose for
he has the mgsses with him. They
all want more money and better

Circuit Court Nates.

Owing to Judge Hagans' illness the
lawyers elected Sudge r. L. Berkshire
Friday as judge during Judge Hagans'
absence. Considerable chancery bus
mess has been decided by Judge Berk-
shire.
There has never been a more unin-
teresting court than the present one
for the pOpulace: no sensational case
nothing of any interest except to
parties directly interested in the de-
cisions of civil suits.
The walls of the court room need
painting.
No criminal business this week.
Nothing except confessions.
Ladies are still insisting that there
should be washstand in their wit
ness waiting room.
Patrick Henry's statue has not yet
been given niche in the court house.
Why is this matter not attended to
by the authorities ?
The term preceding the national
election is always tame. Everybody,
candidates especially, desires to keep
everybody in good humor. No votes
must be lost by disagreeable law suits
or criminal proceedings.
Judges Berkshire and Ollie are in
daily attendance and are as sprightly
as the youngest members of the bar.
No case of any general interest,
civil or criminal, has been, or will be
tried at this court.
Court was adjourned the first day
to give litigants and witnesses an
opportunity to hear ''Gov." Atkinson
try to ape the late Hon. Henry S.
Walkers style of oratory. The
"Gov." was a more effective speaker
when he used to speak naturally.
For 3him to attempt to initiate Wal
ker reminds one Of an effort Of a house
painter to equal renowned artist in
the profession Of the latter.
The misdemeanor case VS.. Benz.
Ryan was dropped. The state had
no case. 1t will be long, long
while before it will ever have case,
a winning one, against person OF
Uncle Ben's shrewdness.
Politics has been ably discussed
daily in the main hall by people who
are attending court. No wonder Re-
publican headquarters is in the office
of the circuit court-his private Office,
and the walls OF his public office are
full of Republican campaign posters.
