RIPLEY, w. VA. Dec is. 1897 -.
John Morgan, the triple muir
derer, was hanged this morning.
The start was made for the scat
fold at about IL 80 a. m. Morgan
bore the trip well, and was the
coolest man ON the scafold when
the execution took place The
drop fell at 1909 and he was pro
nounced dead at 1924. His neck
was not broken, death by strangu-
lation. Morgan passed restless
night awakening often and seemed
anxious for the morrow. He arose
about 6 o'clock and took a bath and
dressed for the final scene. AS the
hour of execution approached he
became very excited, throwing
himself down upon his couch. sob
bing and moaning and asking
those around him to do something
for him. He carried on in this
manner for some time and finally
when he realized there was no
hope for him, he became more
composed, and when he mounted
the scaffold there was not cooler
man on the stand. Religious SER
vices were short, consisting of
reading of Pslams by Rev. White
and prayer by Rev. Rymer. When
asked if he had anything to say he
hesitated a moment and then said:
..I bid you all farewell. Good bye
good bye. Let this be a warming
to all young men," The black cap
was adjusted and Morgan swung
into eternity. The hanging was a
success throughout, nothing oc-
CURED to cause any delay.

The wedding gown was an ideal
one for So youthful and lovely q
bride, the fabric being the softest
and whitest of silk. with real lace
used with pretty effect on the cor
sage. She carried bouquet of
lilies of the valley, and wore only
one ornament, pearl and diamond
brooch, the gift of the groom.
Miss Mary Couch, as maid of
honor was beautifully gowned in
\
pale green landsdowne and carried
cluster of white roses.
Mrs. Couch wore stylish black
and white silk brocade with black
guipure lace applique.
The Lohengrin march, and the
Flower Song during the ceremony
were exquisitely rendered by Miss
Katherine McDermott.
The tables in the supper room
were ornamented with centre pieces
of linen art embroidery, done in
rose reds, clusters of Jacque roses,
and candelabra with rich red shad-
ed lights.
An unusually large number of
costly and beautiful gifts we're dis
played in a pink chamber on the

Struck OIL.

A. j. Queen came down from
Addison Tuesday with a bottle of
crude oil and sample of sand
taken from his we'll in this county.
He has ceased drilling and says
unquestionably he has struck oil.
The casing is full of fine quality
of lubricating oil which comes to
the surface unbidden. The drill is
now in a hard rock and it stands to
reason to think that if oil is found
in it pool must underlie it. This
flow was found at 55 feet, and 33
years ago 80 barrels of oil was ta-
ken from this territory that brought
$12 barrel. Mr.. Queen is very
reticent and everyone is led to be-
lieve that his silence, since he is a
practical oil man, means some
thing. Leases are being sought
after all over Addison township

A letter from Will Sebohm, of
Pomeroy, now in Alaska, and which
letter was mailed at Dawson City,
states he is ON his way to Juneau,
and from there will return home.
The letter was 13 days coming
from Juneau. While here he will
prepare to go back. He has a
claim or so staked off and has been
mining. The claim did not turn
out as much gold as was expected,
but enough in his letter would
lead one to conclude he has done
we'll. Mr.. S. by this move will es-
cape the hardships of the vigorous
winter months up there. He is
well and hearty.
People in large numbers left yes
terday, Wednesday, from all around
the bend for the Ripley hanging.
There will be hilarious time in
the old town of Ripley today, at

Trouble About Text Books.The
Matter to be Taken to Court.
The rightato use certain text
books in the public schools is
about to be tested in the courts
The legislature in 1895 contracted
with certain publishing companies
to furnish textbooks under a five
year contract. The succeeding
Legislature took this authority
from the legislature entirely and
placed it with the school book
boards to be appointed by the sew
eraFcounty courts. These boards
in numbers of instances have dis
regarded the contract by the legis-
lature of 1895 and displaced the
textbooks in use under it by the
adoption of others; hence the con-
fict between the diffeeent publish
ing companies. The State Super
intendent of school, has directed
several teachers in this county and
other counties to discontinue the
use of certain textbooks in contro-
versy, and now the publishers are
preparing to test the matter in the
courts.

e. b. KNIGHT is DEAD.
He Passed Away Twenty Min
utes After Midnight.

He Passed Away IWenUy N1n-
utes After Midnight.
Charleston Gazette, Thursday.
Mr.. e. b. Knight died at twenty
minutes after twelve o'clock this
morning at his home on the corner
of Broad and Washington streets.
He had been I'll about three
weeks but there were no alarming
symptoms until less than a week
ago. On Sunday it was feared
that his condition was serious and
his brother George Nj. Knight of
New Hampshire was telegraphed
for. He was at the bedside with
the family when his brother died.
Mr.. Knight has not been in ro-
bust health for some time.
Though of a vigorous and rugged
constitution he had felt the pre-
monitions of disease and had re-
tired from the active practice of
his profession about five years ago.
It has been his habit ever since
that time to spend the summer
months at his cottage near lake
in the mountains of New Hamp-
shire. Upon his return from there
in last September it was noticed
by his friends that he was not SO
strong and hearty as he had SEEM
ed although he was apparently
perfectly well and felt SO.
About three weeks ago he began
to suffer with dysentery and though
the disease was finally checked ii
was not until his strength was SC
far gone that he was unable to raj
ly. Everything that human power
could do was done for him. Local
physicians and specialist from
Cincinnati did all they could but
for several days have had no hopes
for his recovery.
Mr.. Knight remained conscious
almost to the last and seemed tc
realize and appreciate the faithful
ministrations of his wife and fam
lily as long as any strength was lef
him. He knew the condition h'
was in and death-did not come al
a surprise to him or his family.
