Another Bridge Project.
Mr.. r. Meredith. of Marietta

Mr.. r. Meredith, of Marietta, o.,
is here. He is the representative of
the Canton Bridge Co., is and trying
to make arrangements with George
Baker to put a bridge over the ra-
vine at the end of Bumbo Lane to
the land owned by the latter across
on the other side of the small run
which comes GOWN back there. 1t
is the intention to place a bridge
there and thus add another choice
lot of building sites to the city. It
is certainly to be hoped that the
scheme will carry as there are now
but few good sites left in the town
and these will soon disappear before
the building boom which is now on.
Morgantown needs all the room
which can be gotten to give her a
place to grow. The boom has just
commenced and the indications are
that it will continue even more Wig
orously than it is now. This bridge
will help things wonderfully.

A Satisfactory Verdict.

The verdict in the case of the
South Penn vs.. Courtney, Lowrie
d McDermott was received here with
expressions of approval by every
one. The firm which has received
the award is composed of young men
who are very well liked for the way
in which they do business and the
corporation from which they won is
just as much disliked for their grasp
ing methods. They have grown SO
arrogant that they can hardly be en-
dured and no one is sorry that they
have received such good set back.
The principle involved was never de-
cided before in the state and makes
a new precedent in oil litigation.
The point is in the leasing of land of
committee without authority of
the court. 1t was decided that such
a lease would not hold water.

The Trial DELAYED.

The trial Of the charges against
Geo. Alexander the prosecuting at
torney of Marion and the sheriff Mr.
Cunningham have been postponed
for few days. The charges were
very indefinite and the accused went
before Judge Martin on Monday
and asked that an order be made re
quiring the charges be made more
specific. This wasgranted and the trial
will accordingly be delayed for few
days. There is no new developments
in the case and it is not thought
that there is any more in the effort
than at first when it was sized up as
bluff.

1t Does In deed.
Fairmont West virginian

When Congress convened at
Washington on Monday, Messrs.
Dovenor, Dorr and Miller were all in
their seats, but Mr.. Dayton was at
Parsons, Tucker county, engaged in
"a law suit, and he is still there.
Dayton is on the side of the prose
cution in the case of the State VS..
Eastman for killing Thompson, and
is working for fee AS he gets a
salary of $4,000 a year for playing
Congressman, doesn't it look like he
ought to be in Washington when
Congress is in session.

an Interesting Legal Question.

The trial of Col. Eastman at Par
sons has raised an interesting ques-
tion in Kingwood. Judge Holt can
not get away from Parsons to pre-
side at Kingwood Col julius X.
Monroe has been elected to preside
at the term in Preston This gives
special judge presiding a regular
terri in the absence of the regular
judge whose absence is covered by
the law The court is due to con
yene to-day but the law gives three
days of grace. The point raised is,
can Judge Holt continue to preside
at Parsons and if not does it not re-
suit in the freeing of Col. Eastman
on the grounds of illegal trial. This
is very interesting point and one
that is giving the lawyers considera-
bic worry.

1t Beats EN- All.

A local newspaper beats the world
as an advertising medium. A hand
bill attracts attention by accident.
The newspaper carries your message
to the waiting audience. The fence
and barn door cad" is a corpse that
may be looked upon by few neigh
bors who have to go near it. The
newspaper lad" goes into the home,
takes a seat in the family circle, and
talks right to the heart of the many
thousands of people who pay for that
kind of entertainment. They love
the family paper and read it with
confidence. Nothing equals a good
live local paper when it comes TO
reaching the people. Try it and see
for yourself.

A NEW COMPANY.
May Push Projected Railroad
Through Greene County.

1t is said that the company formed
the past year to build what is known
as the Pittsbnrg, Connellsville &
Wheeling railroad, a line which was
to start from near Millsboro, Wash
ington county, and pass through
Waynesburg, has turned over the
project to new company, composed
of eastern capitalists, and that en-
gineers would in about two weeks
take up the work of surveying where
the old company left off. This is
about twelve miles west of Waynes-
burg. For several months the pro-
ject has been apparently abandoned.
The truthfullness OF the rumor could
MOI be verified. 1t was also said that
the Uniontown, Waynesburg s. West
Virginia Company, which surveyed
d route through Greene county, is not
sleeping, but will show its hand be-
fore long. Washington Reporter.

Chiffon OFFERS TO SETTLE.
But the Board of Public Works
Refuses to Accept the Collateral
Offered


CHARLESTON, w. Va, December,
15.-Ex- Secretary of State Chiffon
rendered to the Board of Public
Works to-day notes of the Briar
Creek Coal and Coke Company,
amounting to $4,000, and endorsed
by Frank Woodman and A. E.
Humphreys of this city, as payment
in part of his shortage as Secretary
of State The notes were payable in
three or four years. These were in
tended to pay the amount due for the
sale of books and the tax on the State
seal which was covered by his bond.
The Board, after considering the
matter, declined to accept the notes,
as they could not under the law, be
covered into the treasury as cash.
Frank B. Enslow, of Huntington,
says he can get the notes discounted
and turn in the cash, which, he says,
will be done tomorrow. The notes
given by the Brian Creek Coal and
Gas Company are in payment for the
land recently sold the company by
Chiffon. The amount of Chilton's
shortage, covered by the bond, is
found to be $4,000 The balance of
the shortage, due for initial tax on
charters, is not covered by the bond
and cannot be collected from Chilton's
bondSman.

A LAYMAN'S CHRISTMAS.
Join again the angel chorus;
Tell of Gods great gift to men;
For the time is now before us.
When the Christ.child comes again.
Ever bringing to the nations
Thoughts of sweet simplicity,
AS they pour their glad oblations,
At the shrine OF infancy.
Sing the joyous Christmas carol,
How the great one came To earth,
Not in glorious apparel
But by lowly human birth.
Unto all men manifesting,
That Gods greatest gift is still
Nothing but spirit resting,
Child-like, on Fathers will.
So we vain and Maynard mortals.
In earth's wilderness beguiled,
Safe may reach the golden portals
Helped and guided by child

There is more Catarrh in this section

together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.

THEODORE DURRANr.

In all probability Theodore Dur
rant was hanged today for the muir
der of Blanche Lamont in San Fran
cisco in April, 1895. The dispatches
show that a finol attempt was made
yesterday by habeas corpus proceed
Ings to still further delay his execu-
tion, but 1t is not likely that it sue
ceeded. His case, or rather his trial,
was peculiar one. During its
progress the newspapers of the city
published the fnll testimony, and
their pages were filed with pictures
of the murdered girl, the church, the
rooms, the clothing, shoes and books
of the dead school girl. There were
pictures of the witnesses, and every
narrowing detail! pertaining to the
murder was dwelt upon lingeringly
and lovingly. Public feeling was
worked up to its highest pitch, until
there was but one all pervading sub
ject in the city, but one idea and
demand-that the murderer of the
young gill be hanged. Around
Durrant was woven chain of cir
cumstantial evidence, backed up and
strengthened by some testimony un-
doubtedly false. The public took
up the cry, ''It was Durrant who
committed this crime, for no one
else is Suspected Hang him. Hang
him!''
The jurymen on his case knew
this, they knew that the public ex-
pected them to find him guilty, and
that their own lives would not be
safe did they not do so.
He may have been, probably was,
guilty; but guilty or innocent, he
did not have that fair and impartial
trial which is guaranteed him by our
laws. He should have had new
trial, and would have had it had the
Judiciary of California regarded

chances of being reelected less.
Guilty or innocent, he was entitled
to fair trial by unprejudiccd and
uninfluenced jurors. That he did
not have, and could not have in San
Francisco. On his conviction the
public rage was appeased. He was
credited with not only the murder of
which he was convicted, but of that
of Minnie Williams also, and there
all attempt to solve the mystery of
her murder was dropped. Yet it
does not seem possible that the same
persons committed both murders.
The murder of Blanche Lamont was
accomplished without the shedding
of drop of blood and might be
classed as scientific. That of Minnie
Williams was brutal and bloody. In
the Lamont case every effort was
made at concealmenU; in the other
none. In the Lamont case the body
was placed where it would decay
without attracting attention, the lock
OF the door leading to the belfry was
broken, and it is probable the body
would not have been discovered for
months but for the subsequent mur.
der of Minnie Williams. It may be
possible that both murders were COM
mitted by the same person, but it is
fair to presume that the murderer of
Blanche Lamont, after taking all the
steps he did to conceal the murder,
would not commit another murder
that was sure to bring the first one to
light, and this within two weeks of
the first.
