SHOT AT FROM AMBUSH.
Trying to Exterminate Preston Coun.

KINGwoOD, w. Va, Aug. 13.-A
short time ago a murderous attempt
was made upon the life of Nathan
Tanner, Esq, well known man who
lives on Salt Lick, near Amblers.
burg. The matter was kept secret
for various reasons, but was yester-
day made public. On the day of the
shooting Mr.. Tanner and Sheridan
Ridebur were riding on a wagon from
Amblersburg to Tanners Mill. In a
secluded spot along the road the report
OF a rifle was heard and instantly a
bullet whizzed passt Mr.. Tanners
head, splitting small sapling beyond
and buried itself in tree. The men
looked up to the top of the hill from
whence the sound came and saw a
young man running towards the shell
ter Of the woods carrying gun.
The man answered the description
Of the one who was seen after the
shooting of Miss Rattle Tanner. 1t
begins to look as if some unknown
enemy is seeking to wipe out the en-
tire Tanner family. 1t will be re-
membered that on the 9Th of last
March, Rattle Tanner, daughter of
Nathan Tanner, was shot from am
bush and came near dying from the
effects Of rife bullet which lodged
in her back. The circumstances sur
rounding that affair were mysterious
and have baffied detectives. No clue
sufficient to cause an arrest was ever
found. Miss Tanner, it is said, was
once before shot at, and now some I'M
known fiend attempts the life of her
aged father.

JUsrIFIEs HIS STRONG WORDS.
Governor Atkinson In q signed state
ment Explains the Kimes shoot
ing Affair

CHARLESTON, w. Va, August II,
Governor Atkinson's bold words In
connection with his act of pardoninp
W. S. Hines for shooting Benjamin
Hall, called forth by the appeal for re.
mission of Hines fine, having been
criticised in some quarters he offers
the following signed statement:
estate of West Virginia,
Executive Chamber, Charleston.
81 have always opposed mob vic.
lence and unlawful shooting of every
sort, but in pardoning w. S. HINES
for shooting Benjamin Hall, with in.
tent to kill, said l thought it was
a misfortune he did not kill him. MY
reason for such conclusion is based on
the following facts: HINES and Hall
married sisters. Hall deserted his wife
and several helpless children, went to
Parkersburg and began to tamper
with Kimes's wife. Kimes ordered
him to stay from his home, but in spite
of these admonitions Hall kept up his
visits, and HINES found them togeth-
err in darkened room. He finally in
formed Hall that if he ever again
found him at his home he must take
the consequences.
''He did find him there again in a
darkened room in company with his
wife, and he at once proceeded to
shoot him, and, as l said in the par
don, unfortunately failed to kill the
scoundrel.' But this is not all. Halls
family are suffering for the necessaries
of life, while he is now living with
Kimes's wife.
"These are the facts given me by
reputable people, and again say that
any man who has heart in his bosom
and has wife and children cannot
but feel as do about this matter

PLANS ADOPTED
For the New School Building-It will
be n Snlendid One.

After several days spent In inspect
ing and discussing plans submitted by
the various architects the school board
has selected the plans for Morgan.
towns new school building. Needless
to say it is to be structure of which
the town may well be proud. Ten
architects submitted plans. These
include some of the best in the coun-
try and the number is a guarantee
that the different plans offered afford
ed chance for good selection. The
plans submitted by Architect Jacobs
while very excellent were not for some
reason selected. 1t would certainly
seem that since Morgantown money is
to build the building, Morgantown
brains and Drawn should be given en-
ployment. But OF course the board
knew their business and acted in the
wisest possible way.
The architects competing were:-
Elmer +. Jacobs, Morgantown; +. l..
Forney, Wheeling: Giffen & Co., Fair
mont; Peters, Burns & Pretslnger
Dayton, o.; Cramer & Wormser, Lo-
rain, o.; Bailey & Shaw, Pittsburg,
Pa; 0'Neil & Co., Marietta, O., and
U. j. Lincoln Peoples, Pittsburg, Pa.
The plans selected were those submit
ted by Mr.. Peoples. The building is
to be three stories Of brick with a
basement Of stone. The first and sec
ond stories are to contain the school
rooms. The entire third floor is to be
an auditorium with a seating capacity
Of. $50. With the exception OF chapel
hall at the University this auditorium
will seat the largest number of any
room in town. The Walnut and
Spruce street sides of the building are
to be built of pressed brick The cost
of the building complete is to be 1886,
200.
The board will advertise for bids on
it just as soon as the architect can
prepare the Specifications. They will
be ready within a couple of weeks.
Work will be begun as rapidly as the
necessary preliminaries can be settled
and the building will be completed
as rapidly as possible. 1t will not be
ready for school uses before the begin
ming of school in September, 1898.
Every one will be proud of. our beau
tiful school building when it is COM
pleted. 1t not only will be source
of pride to the town but will prove a

TO TRY AGAIN.
BIacksrille Determined to be Incorpo-
rated.

The village of Blacksmith has been
ambitious to be incorporated as a
town for some time. The project
has been discussed for more than a
year. Recently an election was held
to get the sense of the voters on the
proposition to incorporate. The
election showed the sentiment to be
heartily in favor Of the plan. Moth
ing seemed to be in the way of sue
cessful completion of the work when
techincality was sprung the opposi-
ton defeated it. The proclamation
of the election was defective i'm a
minor detail and all the work had to
be gone through with again. The peo-
pie who wanted the town incorpora-
ted were thoroughly in earnest and
Immediately went to work again.
Messrs. Sturgiss, Ollie and Camp
bell have drawn up all the necessa-
ry legal papers and this time no such
obstacle as formerly interposed it
self will prevent the will of the peo-
pie from being carried out.
Mr. C. I. Emory, of Blacksville,
was in town recently and he informs
us that the opposition will be much
less active in the approaching cleo
ton than it was before. Besides
this several new citizens are in favor
of it and the majority will be larger
than before when it was 81 to 8.
The election takes place ON Sepfem-
Der IA. The same boundaries as be-
fore are to be included. In fact il
is exactly the same proposition
which has been once before favora-
bly, passed upon. A census was
taken last Saturday of the number
of inhabitants in the limits of the
new town.
The census was taken last Satur-
day again and shows satisfactory
increase in population since the last
census was taken. The population
now numbers 155 instead of lat as
before. This increase is fair omen
of the rapid growth of the prospec-
tive city.
On the first day of the next term
of court the result OF the election
and other necessary papers will be
submitted to the court and if there
are no legal reasons why it should
not be done certificate of incorpor-
alton will be granted. Within sixty
days of that time the proper munic-
ipal officers will be elected and
Blacksyille's ambition will have
been realized. 1t will be the third
incorporated town in the county.

Those Democrats out in Holmau,s
district were certainly considerate
to demand such an enormous major
ity after the Republicans had gerry
wandered the district and asserted
that they intended to carry it.
