That Are More Of Less Interesting
CHARLESTON, w. Va, November 20
While here this week looking after
legal business in the U. S. Court, Il.
). Internal Revenue Collector Al. b.
White, of Parkersburg, launched his
Senatorial boom by giving his friends
to understand that he is In the field
for seat in the u. S. Senate TO sue
coed Senator Faulkner.
Since Governor Atkinson broke in
and left the bars down, number of
Senatorial aspirants have either come
into the field or are laying their plans
to do so. 1t seems that Mr.. White
has IL in for Governor Atkinson. and
Is determined that he shall not have
the race for the Senatorship all to
himself. The primary object of Mr..
Whites candidacy, it seems, is to de-
feat the Governor, his own election
to the Senate being only secondary.
During the contest for the collect
orship Mr.. White pledged his support
to Congressman Warren Miller. Of the
Fourth district, for the Senate In re-
turn for Mr.. Miller's support of Mr..
White for the collectorship. IL this
pledge holds good Mr.. White cannot
honoraDly be in the race against War
rem Miller. Mr.. Miller will not be a
candidate for reelection. He and
State Senator james A. Hughes have
an understanding by which Mr. Mil

and taking things into consideration.
it is evident that Mr. Whites candi-
dacy for Senate is not for the burmese
particularly Of securing the honor for
himself, but TO secure it for Warren
Miller, or more properly speaking, to
defeat Governor Atkinson. From
the manner in which things are shap-
ing upit looks as if it will be Gov

TIE BOLYARD CASE.

County Murder Case Being Tried in
Barbour.
Philippi Republican.

The case of the State VS. Bolyard
was continued until the February
term of court. A very able effort on
the part of the attorneys for the de-
PENDANT was made to have the trial at
this term of court but the attorneys
for the prosecution pleading that they
were not ready for trial, the court
rendered continuance. The prison
er, G. c. Bolyard will remain in Jail
until next court, as Prosecuting at
torney, c. NJ. Murphy would not let
him TO bail on any bond He offered,
by his attorneys to give bond in any
amount which might be required. To
express it as Mr. Davis did in ar
guing the case for immediate trial,
"there is a clan of witnesses sum-
moned, probably fifty, all of which
were present on Saturday except Isaac
GARRISON, a witness for the state and
who was unable to attend on account
of infiammatory rheumatism. The
absence of Mr.. Clarkson was the
cause of the case being continued, al
though the attorneys for the defend
ant presented an affidavit to the effect
that he could give no material evil
dence in the case. A motion was
then made by Mr.. Dayton and second
ed by c. NJ. Murphy to have an extra
session for said trial. Judge Holt re-
fused to appoint an extra session as
his entire time will be taken up until
the February term Of court.

asking him to call meeting of the

ness was to have been transacted.
DR.. |. c. White had consented to take
charge of the board and it was de-
sired to begin work as soon as posi-
Bile. For some reason the governor
did not issue the call. Had he done
so il would have been very conven-

SERIOUS RUNAWAY.
Hosea and spencer Weaver have mar
row Escape-The horse ran more
than two miles-Falls into the Creek
The buggy Completely Demolished.

Yesterday two sons of Mark
Weaver who lives at Usage were in
a serious runaway. Their horse
took fright near Stumptown and ran
down the road until the road along
SCOTS run was reached. Here he
went up the run until the next
stream was encountered The ami
NAL started up this one and ran for
some distance The efforts of the
occupants of the buggy to stop the
horse proved futile.
The runaway was finally stopped
by the horse falling over an embank-
ment into the creek landing in a
deep pool He became entangled in
the harness and would have been
drowned had not witness to the
scene ran to his rescue and cut the
harness from him
The buggy was torn all to pieces
but strange to say the horse was I'M
hurt
The young men Hosea and Spen-
Ger Weaver were thrown out a short
distance above Stumptown but both
escaped without any injury of any
moment. The runaway was started
by the breaking of a strap as sharp
hill was being descended, the buggy
pushed the horse and he bolted.

i FINE SCHEME.
Another Bridge acroes the River-To
be Built below the Glass Factory
Down River Parties Working at 1t.

A plan is OF foot to build a bridge
across the river to land below the
glass factory. The citizens of the en-
tire country down the river are inter-
esting themselves in the movement.
They will circulate petitions and find
how much can be raised toward the
scheme among themselves, and will
then apply to the county Court for
the balance required. The plan has
not yet taken definite shape, but some
thing more will likely come of it.
There is no question about the
utility of such bridge, and that it
would be of inestimable benefit to all
the country contiguous to it. Nor
gantown would be immensely bene-
fitted by it, and the West side par
ticularly would feel its good effects.

TELLS ANOTHER STORY.
Morgan, the Condemned Jackson Conn.
ty Murderer. Makes Confess
ian

RIPLEY, w. Va, November 21.-
Annother confession has been made
by Morgan, the condemned murderer of
Mrs. Chloe Greene and her daughter
and son near here recently. 1t is
just d little more reasonable than
his other numberleSs statements and
must be received with more than the
proyerbial grain of salt. According
TO the latest story the Pfost girls had
made=-so he heard-some disparag-
ing remarks concerning his wife and
baby, the way he clothed them, etc.
He brooded over this and finally de-
termined to kill them. When he
went there that night it was his in
tention to kill them and get home by
bed time. Three or four times in
the night he got up to execute his
hellish purpose, but each time his
heart failed him. At daybreak he
realized he must. murder "now or
never" He killed the young man at
the hog pen and when he returned to
kill the woman it seemed 'there was
a thousand people in the house. ;"
Then he murdered Mrs Greene and
Miss Matilda. 1t may be this is
true, in part, at least. 1t does away
with the insanity racket, the self
defense story and the accomplice
yarn.
Morgan has recovered somewhat
from the fright occasioned by his
speedy trial and sentence, and APP
pears very Indifferent as to his fate.

PreliIninaries of the New Locks
Under Way.

Dirt Will Begin to Fly Within Two
Weeks-OptiOns taken on Quarries-

Mcdonald On the Scene.
When Mr.. G. l. Mcdonald. the
contractor of Pittsburg, who has the
building Of the new locks and dams in
charge, announced that he was going
TO begin work on two of them at once
but few thought that he would begin
before spring. However. they were
mistaken. Dirt will begin to be
moved on the two center locks within
a few weeks. The preliminaries are
already under Roadway.
Superintendent Dickerson has been
busy near Little Falls for the past
two weeks getting options on land on
which stone quarries are to be opened,
and attending to other preliminary
work. Within few days he will be-
gin to hire men to go to work on the
locks. One hundred men will be en-
ployed on each lock-
Mr.. Mcdonald is also at little Falls,
having come up to-day to look after
his interests. He is DESTROYS of finish
ing the contract within three years
and will push the work with all pos
sible speed. The central dams were
selected to begin on as they are closer
together than any other pair and are
the most convenient base of opera
tions. Material and tools can be
transferred from them to the others
with greater ease than from any other
base.
Before work can begin on the dams
proper, vast amount of work must
be done. Shanties must be built to
house the laborers, sidings must be
put in and a road is to be built from
one dam to the other. They are about
two miles and a half apart Their
exact location has not yet been deter
mined upon, but it has been decided,
TO within one hundred feet Of the
place. They will be completed some
time next year. During next sum
mer, early in the season, work will be
started on the other dams and they
will be built right away. Mr.. Nc
Donald is an experienced contractor,
having done considerable work for the
government, and he will lose no time
unnecessarily. He constructed num-
bers and on this river, and built
several dams on the Kanawba river.
