More Complete
More Successful
Than During any Period of It's History

The Best Weekly Paper published west
of the Allegheny Mountains. 1t is
truly a home WEEKLY, fit for every
member of the household, aud contain
ing information of value TO young and
old. Other city papers adopted the
semi-weekly plan and abandoned it,
because the two papers did not make
one good weekly, The people soon
found this out and returned to their
first choice, and that choice is the
WEEKLY REGISTER.
The WEEKLY REGISTER has no equal
in the two Virginias, and no superior
among the METROPOLITAN weekly publi-
cations.
1t contains 10 pages of select literary
matter, stories by the most eminent
fiction writers, the latest telegraphic
matter, carefully prepared editorials
and by far the most complete West
Virginia and Ohio news service.
During the coming year THE REGIS
TER will be of particular value to the
farmer, tradesman and merchant. Con-
gress will likely be in extraordinary
session, as we'll as regular session. and
the regular proceedings as we'll as
other Washington news, will be fully
chronicled in The REGISTER.
The West Virginia Legislature will
be in session, and The REGISTER will
give the most complete reports.
The price will remain the same as
heretofore-s1.00 per year in advance.
Agents wanted in every community.

Be Mourned by Many.
The death is announced Of Miss Margaret
Hare Of Pleasant View, one of the most
popular young ladies in that section of the
city. Miss Hare's death resulted from an
attack of typhoid fever.
Miss Hare was pupil at Bryant & STRAIT
toms Business College, and would have
graduated from that institution in May
had she lived. The deceased was daugh-
ter OF Mrs. Edward Hare and was possessed
of many attributes which tended to make
her very popular among the large circle of
friends among whom she moved
Miss Hare was a regular attendant at
Sacred Heart Church, and interested i'm
the work OF the parish to an unusual ex-
ten., and was prominent i'm the manage
ment of the affairs of the Ladies' Aid So
ciety of the church.
Much sympathy is extended to the fam
lily as the death Of Miss Hare follows
closely on the demise Of her brother which
recently took place.

THREW A LIGHTED LAMP.
A COLORED ADONIS FROM PROVY.
DENCE GETS IN TROUBLE.
Created Disturbance on the View and Could
Not Pay For His Fun.

Considerable time was occupied by the
District Court this morning in giving a
hearing to the case Of Louis Green, re-
markably good looking colored man, who
was charged with assault on Annie Egan.
The assault consisted in Green .practicing
an out curve on Annie's head, the imple-
ment being kerosene lamp.
Green called to see woman named
Nellie Moody, who lives on the View, and
when informed that she was not at home
doubted the fact, and started in to create
trouble. He succeeded admirably, and en-.
tering the house he picked up a lamp, the
chimney of which fell off, and he threw
the lamp at Annie Egan's head, who
lodged just in time. The lamp struck the
wall, but fortunately did not break or the
fire department. would have probably have
had a run.
A young man named Moody attempted
to put the colored man out and succeeded
When they landed outside both rolled IN q
snow bank and Moody was bitten several
times in the arm before he succeeded in
shaking Green off. y.
The arrest followed and in Court this
morning Green had to be cautioned sew

prosecution, and the Judge found Green
guilty and fined him so and costs. Being
unable to produce the required amount he
was escorted to Cranston, where he will
be given an opportunity to work 1t out.
Bridget Ryan was found at the station
late yesterday afternoon by the police in
a condition somewhat hilarious. Bridget

look on the wine when it Is red, or the

This morning she pleaded not guilty, but
after consideration changed her plea to
guilty and was given valentine in the
shape OF ticket to the State Farm, and it
will be after the celebration of the "Glori-
Gus Fourth" before Bridget makes her ap-
pearance on the highways and byways of

cases against John b. s. Brazeau and

DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN ON.
STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE WILL
MEET NEXT WEDNESDAY.
The Party Is In Position to Put Up Vigorous
Fight This Spring.

The Democrats of the State will at an
early day get their party machinery in
working order for the coming campaign.
John E. Conley, Secretary of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee, will, be-
tween now and Saturday, issue the notices
for meeting.
The gathering will be held in the rooms
of the Democratic Club at q North Main
street, Wednesday, Feb. "a. The confer
ence will be for the purpose of empower
ing the executive committee to call con-
vention to nominate officers for the State
at the next election.
In relation to the general outlook Mr..
Conley said that he thought the party was
in position to put up a vigorous fight,
especially as there seemed to be a general
leaning toward certain planks which would
be popular with the rank and file of the
party.
Speaking of the revision of the Consti-
tuition of the State, Secretary Conley is of
the opinion that the general sentiment of
the party would be to place plank in the
platform which would make the revision
of the Constitution by the people, and not
by Commission appointed by the Gov
ernor. He thought this should be made one
of the salient points in the platform.

HORRIBLE DEATH.
The Fate of a Well Known
New Haven Man.
He Was Clubbing Vicious Dogs
With a Shotgun Yesterday.
Weapon Was Discharged asd Contents Of Both
Barrels Took Effect In His Breast.

New Haven, Feb. 17.-Elias B. Ser
voss, Jr., son OF a wealthy New York
real estate dealer, met a terrible death
early yesterday morning. 1t was at first
believed he had been murdered. but de-
velopments show that he was the victim
of an accident.
The first intimation the family had Of
the shocking accident was about 7
o clock a. m. when one Of the servants
found the fearfully mutilated body of
the young man on the front porch Of the
residence. In the breast was a gaping
wound, made by the contents of dou-
-barrelled shotgun; one hand was
almost completely shot off and shot
was distributed all over the body.
Near the body was found a shotgun be-
sneared with blood, with broken stock.
while all about the snow was trampled
and gave every appearance of murder
and a desperate struggle. The accident
was brought about by the young man
trying to kill some dogs that We're at
tracted to the premises by the smell of
a freshly butchered pig. Their barking
disturbed him early, and, taking his
fathers ouble-barrelled gun, he went
cut to the porch to shoot the animals.
He tried to fire at them, but the gun did
not explode. and he evidently decided
IL was not loaded. He then tried to
club the dogs with the gun, and the
weapon was discharged. His father
heard him shouting at the dogs, anC.a
few moments later heard a double report
from the gun. No outcry or noise of
any description followed. and, suppos
ing that his son had fired at the dogs
and returned to his room, he paid no fur
ther attention to the incident.
The victim of the accident was 2S years
Old and leaves a widow and two small
children He was the only son of seven
children. His father resides at 213 West
One Hundred and Twenty ninth street,
New York city. and was in New Haven
as a witness In behalf Of Antonio
Sparano, formerly his coachman, who is
on trial for murder.
The remains will be taken to New York
for burial

VERDICT FOR PLAINTIFF.
PAWTUCkET ISLANDER SUIT ONCE
MORE BEFORE A JURY.
Joseph Cook Objected to Being Called JaiE,
Bird and Thief.

In the Appellate Court yesterday the suit
OF Joseph Cook of this city against Peter
Warren for f25OO damages was heard and
the jury returned verdict for $50 I'M
Cooks favor.
Messrs. Cook and Warren both live at
the corner OF Main street and Warren av-.
enue, their property being situated on ad-.
joining corners. The two men were not
on good taruns, and wheu the name Of ths
street between was changed HON CunlIG
avenue to Warren avenue their Cordially
was not at all increased. The sign beax1snS-
the name of the street disappeared froSn
the corner, and Mr.. Warren suspected hin

employed by the city, was replacing tho
sign, Mr.. Cook had a conversation witlk.
him. While they were talking Mr.. Wsr-S
rem came out of his barn and said "Don't
speak to that jail bird and thief"
1t is on this remark that Cook bases his
slander suit. He says that such remarks
were frequent and uncalled for. He admits
that he was sentenced for stealing grain
from Ex-Governor Davis barn, but says
that he has done penance for the offence,
and, having been pardoned by the gov.
ernor, has right to dwell with his family
unmolested.
A jury, few months ago, awarded q
verdict of $3.50, but the Appellate Court
set the verdict aside, on the ground that.
the damages were excessive, and It cam0
before jury again yesterday.
