Personal Mention.
Special to the Register.
Grafton, w. Va, November 10.-The
ten-year-old son of John M. Cassell,
while walking on stills this morning,
fell and broke his arm.
J. M. Jeffreys and nephew, Ona c.
Jeffreys, left this morning on the
east-bound accommodation for AL
brightsville, Preston county, where the
former will be welded to Miss Mollie
Stemple, former teacher in the pub
lie schools of this place. The bridal
party will depart Thursday on two
weeks wedding trip, visiting many
Eastern cities, after which they will re-
turn to Grafton, their future home.
The Baptist church tonight was the
scene of one of the prettiest church
weddings that has taken place in our
town for many a day. The principals
to the event were Mr.. John Colvin
Deck, the efficient and popular assist
ant B. & O. store keeper, and Miss
, Helen B. Clayton, the beautiful and
accomplished daughter OF Mrs. Anna
CLAYTON, of Washington street, and
popular teacher in the Grafton high
school. The decorations in the church
were beautiful and reflected credit on
Miss Mary Jenkins, the florist, who
had that part of the programme in
charge. Promptly at $50 p. m. the
bridal party marched up the aisle of
the church to the music of Lohengrins
wedding march, with Miss Matte
Proudfoot presiding at the organ.
The bride was leaning on the arm of
the groom, carrying a bunch of white
chrysanthemums, dressed in a beauti-
ful gown Of white silk, and with the
attendants, Misses Clara Turner. Net
tie Preise and Carrie Sinsel each car
rylng a bouquet of pink chrysanthe-
NUNS, and the ushers, Messrs. Will
Deck, Will Rennold, George Deck and
Charles Pilson, assembled about the
altar while the marriage rite of the
Baptist church was performed by the
pastor, Rev. j. d. Simmons. A form
al reception was held at the home of
the bride until 10 o'clock, when the
bride and groom took leave of their
many friends, going on the east-bound
express for a two weeks tour of east
ern cities. At the depot, well filled rice
cans were in waiting, and their con-
tents were thrown on the party as
they boarded the train. The couple
are held in the highest esteem by all,
and as token of this popularity
many costly and beautiful presents
were received. On their return they
will take rooms at the Windsor Hotel
for the winter.

A WEALTHY RECLUSE.
Death of a Man Who Excited Considerab
Curiosity in Chjcago

Death OF a Man Who Excited COnsidera BILE
Curiosity in Chicago.
Chicago, November 10.-Charles
Pearcy, who for fifteen years was IA
miliar figure on West Madison street,
is dead. He was old, at least 55, when
he took his lodgings in little room at
224 West Madison street. He lived the
life of a recluse from the beginning. At
times he did his own cooking; some
times he ate in the cheap restaurants
of the neighborhood. He never did any
work. Neither did he seem to be in
actual want. He made no friends. He
bothered no one. All he asked was to
be left alone. Yet there were things
about the old man that provoked Curl
os.ty. He gave signs of having seen
better days. The busyDodies kept up
their prying until they discovered that
the old man had come to Chicago from
Virginia. Next they learned he had a
brother somewhere in that State who
was county clerk or something of the
kind. Still later it was reported he had
another brother in New York who was
rich. But the old man would not talk
about himself and would neither affirm
nor deny there reports Although living
the life of miser an investigation of
his room after his death shows that he
was wealthy. The room was shabbily
furnished and Uttered with all sorts of
odds and ends. The chances of finding
anything seemed slight but from all
sorts Of impossible places, government
bonds money in small amounts, two
watches, memoranda showing deposits
in various banks to the aount of 81, 900,
and other va.uables were dragged out
The total amount of his wealth is esti-
mated at between s35, GOO to $40, GOO.

has always been a dangerous one. and

has always been a dangerous one. and
many freight wrecks have occurred
there. Apart from doing away with
the dangerous feature of two sharp
down grades coming together, as was
the case in this instance, the saying
in operation CT the road by the change
will be very large, as it enables the
tons per train to be greatly increased
and reduces the liability to accident
to the minimum.
At Tabler's the roadbed has been
lowered about thirteen feet, and the
same at Tabbs' besides taking out OBJ
jectionable curvature and reducing the
ratio Of grades at these points from
forty-two feet per mile to ten feet
per mile. thus increasing the number
of cars that can be hauled per train
Though these Improvements have cost
quite sum of money, the expenditure
is fully justified by the great saving
in operation.

The improvements on the main line
of the Baltimore and Ohio west of and
between Martinsburg and North Noun

They cover distance of nearly four
miles, starting three miles west Of
Martinsburg, and extending some dis
lance west of Myers Hole, which is
near the North Mountain station. At
Myers Hole the line was changed,
taking out some very Objectionable
curvature, and the roadbed raised
nearly fifteen feet, eliminating two
grades of forty-two feet per mile,
which came together at Myers Hole,
and substituting therefor an almost
level track. This point on the road

THE FAIR WILL LITIGATION.

Sixteen or More Contests Are to Be Filed in
the California Courts.
San Francisco, November 10.-With-
in a few days Is more contests are to
be filed in the Supreme Court against
the trust will Of the late James G..
Fair. This will is dated September q,
1894, and the original was stolen from
the county clerks Office ad ever recov-
cred. There is certain to be a suit
brought by the three children, Mrs.
Herman Oelrich, Miss Virginia Fair and
Charles l. Fair. Mrs. Nettie Craven
will probably file a protest, and the
third may be commenced in the name Of
an alleged grandchild Of the deceased
millionaire. The contests will be COM
menced upon the grounds that ex-Sen-
ator Fair was incompetent or insane
at the time he made the trust will, and
that he was acting under undue infiu-
ence and duress.
Mrs. Craven's suit will probably be
brought by her as the widow Of the ex-
Senator. Judge Stacks decision places
her in such a position that she must
fight the trust viii if she expects to get
anything at all. The contest will be
upon the same general grounds as that
of the three children. 1t is said that
the contest of the heirs will be brought
to obtain relief in case Judge Slack is
reversed by the Supreme Court in his
ruling destroying the trust clause in the
will.

dow and kept himself locked in when
drunk
Mrs. George Cochran said that Frank

fore the fire, and he was very drunk;
on Sunday night after the fire it rained.
Ohas Cochran saw defendant at $3.50
the evening before the fire very drunk;

a new pair of shoes as the pair defend
ant was wearing On the night of the fire.
These shoes are not the pair exhibited

on Sunday night after the fire; also cor
roborated Chas. Cochran's testimony

mony was all offered.

a-clear, concise, fair and impartial
charge. The case was given to the jury
at just five minutes past five o'clock.
The jury was out just % minutes, and

WANTS AN EXTRA SESSION.

Moundsvilles Herald (Rep)
Is there more jealousy and personal
feeling in the refusal of the Governor
and three-fifths of the members of the
Legislature to call an extra session
than there is good sound sense? The
Governor and his followers in this
, matter may as well understand that
the people will not permit their little
personal pickering to interfere with
public business and not resent it. Re-
publican statesmen must get together
on this and other matters, or they will
hear from the people later in a manner
that may not be very pleasant. States
men should remember that they are
public servants and have other inter-
ests besides their own to look after.

We can't speak for the Governor, but
believe it's because it is not at all nee
essary to have an extra session. The
people have lived great many years
under the present constitution, ana,
while changes will be beneficial, it is
not of vital Importance that they
Ishould be made in such, hurry.
