Insurance Not Yet Adjusted.

Mr.. @. L. Hickman, of Clarksburg,
and Mr.. Chauncey Huston met Satur-
day to adjust the insurance on the
Academy building but were unable to
agree. Mr.. Hickman wanted a table
made showing how long each article
about the building and the building
itself had been in use and its conse-
quent loss of value. Mr.. Huston
strongly demurred to this and said
that everything about the building is
just as good as ever and he will per-
NIT nothing to be introduced contrary
to this view. These opposing views
were steadily and finally held to and a
deadlock ensued. Mr.. Fields, of
Smithfield, who was overseer on the
Odd Fellows building duriug its con-
struction had already been selected as
the third member of the board in case
of any disagreement and he will now
be called in.
A meeting will be held this week
with him present and another effort
made of adjusting the matter. Mr..
Hickman was somewhat angered over
the refusal of Mr.. Huston to agree to
his proposition and on being asked
when he would return said that he did
not know whether he would ever do
so. He was informed that Mr.. Fields
and Mr.. Huston would try to come to
an agreement irrespective Of whether
he was present or not and that if it
could be reached that suit would i'm
mediately be brought for the insur-
ance. So another week is gone with
out much progress.

CIRCUIT COURT.


day with Judge Hagans on the Bench.
Circuit court convened Tuesday at
10 O'Clock A. NJ.
The grand jury received its charge
before the noon hour, and at once be-
gan to hear the testimony Of witnesses
who reside in the country. twill be
two days before the town witnesses
will have the opportunity Of testifying.
Squire Parker, Of Duke, is the able
foreman. It appears to be first class
jury.
Judge Hagans has almost entirely
recuperated and no doubt a large
amount Of business will be transacted
during this term Of court.
Prosecutor Lazzelle won his first
jury case Tuesday afternoon. The
State VS. Perry Wilson; unlawful dis
turbance Of religious worship at Mira
Gle Run church in November, 1895.
The defendant was not present during
the trial, and no lawyer appeared in
his interest. Mr.. Wilson may be in
this county, or may be in Cuba; MOTH
ing as to his whereabouts was disclos-
ed by the testimony The jury found
him guilty. He will be sentenced
when he shows up in court.
Sheriff Garrison is already familiar
with the duties Of his Office, he having
served as deputy sheriff once.
Prosecutor Lazzelle is sure to vigor-
ously prosecute all offenders.
Several ladies from the country
would have occupied the reception
room that was prepared for the use of
all lady attendants at court If it had
been open Tuesday.
Full report Of all legal proceedings
entered at this term will be given next
week. This paper goes to press too
early to publish in this issue. At present
nothing definite can be stated as to
the probable length of the term, nor
as to whether 1t will be a dull or an
interesting court to the general pub

Columbian Public Performance.

The first public performance of the
Columbian society was held last
Thursday night in Commencement
Hall and although but small
crowd attended a most cred
liable performance was rendered.
The program was short and the OBJ
jectionable feature of length and
dryness eliminated. While the pro-
gram does not represent what the
society does every Friday night it
was very enjoyable. The music was
very good, the duet by Misses Cam
eron and Hayes probably receiving
the greatest applause. Prof. Allen's
rendition of the Chariot Race was
probably the best ever heard here.
On the whole we congratulate the
society on it's success. The program
was as follows:
Prayer Rev. A. M. Buchanan
Recitation, ''The Chariot Race p
Prof. e. s. Allen.
Music Mandolin and Guitar 'LaPremier'

We give below communication
from Mt. Union concerning a shoot
ing affray out there Sunday. The
shooting grew out of dispute in
volving the ownership of ten cents.
A rough and tumble fight was be-
gun and after few friendly knock
downs had occurred a 3s revolver
was called into requisition. From
our correspondents letter we should
not judge that Mr.. Hayden is very
valuable member of the community
still it does seem that ten cents is a
rather small sum to shoot him over.
1t is pretty well established fact
that a club should be used in set
tlcing all disputes involving under
a quarter OF course where such an
immense sum is at stake as this a
gentleman is justified in using any
weapon he pleases, the deadlier the
better. The reasons given for the
wound not proving fatal are very
convincing but, they seem trife
sarcastic. They will probably result
in the Honorable Hayden domineer-
ing over at least a part of the com
munity some more. Other fights
will undoubtedly ensue before the
incident is finally closed. The com
munication is as follow:

renee indeed and as it occurred over a
game of draw poker and nearly in sight
of the church where Rev. Holden is con-
Quoting a series Of meetings makes it
more deplorable.
The news of the shooting caused the
blood of everyone in the community to
run cold. The victim, Jefferson Hay
den, is strong, rugged, robust, fearless
young man and has the reputation of
wanting to domineer over all the young
men OF the community. He is the same
young man who caused so much trouble
here about year ago as he boldly and
openly attacked two young men on the
public road. No one expresses any re-
greet at him getting shot, as he made an
uncalled for attack on Mr.. Stewart, who
is nothing but mere boy, being only
about Is years old Hayden on the
contrary is about 80.
Mr.. Stewart, Dana's father, is to be
congratulated upon the bravery OF his
boy.
His victim was shot in the head and
the shock did not knock him down. The
people of the community say that it is a
wonder the shot was not fatal as they
always considered Hayden.s head as the
softest part about him. Others say the
reason the ball did not penetrate the
head was because it was frozen at the
time: The general sentiment is that it
will be lesson to teach him not to try
to cheat one of his pupils
The victim is son of John Hayden.

for several years.

cred by all as a peaceable, law abiding
young man and not at all quarrelsome

Social.

The Misses Donley entertained quite
a number of invited guests at their
hospitable home on Main street Fri
day night. Dancing and kindred
amusements were kept up until late
hour and the affair has added fresh
laurels to those already won by these
young ladies as charming hostesses.
The party did not break up until a
late hour and the pleasures experience
ed made the guests 10th to go. Func-
lions of this kind add very much to
the joys of the winter season and
continuance of them is expected.
Mr.. and Mrs. Waitman Barbe
were entertained at dinner yesterday
at the Hotel Ruffner by Prof. A. L.
Wade, OF -Io:gantown. Seated at
the table were other sfcssrs
+. III. Ambrose, of New York; Sid
ney Boyingdon, of Philadelphia, and
Mr.. Pennypacker, of New jersey
Charleston Vest Vygirio inn.
Last night a delightful supper and
reception was given by Mr.. and Mrs.
John j. Brown at their hospitable
home on Chancery Hill. A large
number of invited guests were pres
ent and enjoyed the occasion. The
affair was in honor of DR.. and Mrs.
S. S. Wade.
Seven couples of the friends of
Dr. S. S. Wade and wife, nearly all
of them being members of the Hi
larity club, assembled at the Wal
lace House on the 7th to dine and
extend cordial welcome to the
newly married couple. A more con-
genial company could not have been
selected and the whole affair was
most delightful. Every face beam
ed with good will and good wishes
for the couple in whose honor the
affair was held. The excellence of
the dinner goes without saying as
you get no other at the Wallace
house. The guests present besides |
the bride and groom were: Mr.. and
Mrs. E. Shisler, Prof. and Mrs. |

Officers Chosen.

Council met Monday night for the
purpose of electing the officers re-
naming to be chosen. After some
preliminary skirmishing they pro-
ceeded with the election. Mr.. Sam
Morris had no opposition and was
therefore unanimously as weighmas-
ter. The tax gathering was placed
in the hands of j. F. Weaver who is
to receive | and one-tenth per cent
OF the revenues he collects. There
were five or six applicants for this
position but this bid was the lowest.
For Sergeant there were several who
were willing to be sacrificed and af-
ter a survey of the field Mr.. limo
thy Bennett was selected as the
most available man. Mr.. Bennett
has been sergeant before and has
proven his thorough fitness for the
position. General satisfaction is be-
ing expressed over the different APP
pointments but it is the general
opinion that collecting Morgantown
taxes at | and one-tenth per cent
viii not prove an FL Dorado to it's
possessor.
The committee to pass on contem
plated street improvements are DR..
l. G. White, I. Pickenpaugh and the
mayor, L. V. Keck. Whenever the
sergeant deems any improvement
necessary he is to report it to this
committee and if they pass favora-
bly, upon it, it will be done under
direction of the sergeant. The po-
sition of street commissioner has
been abolished. Not one of the old
officers was chosen again the coun-
Gil probably believing in rotation in
office.
