Washington's Iniatials.

The low water has brought out
plainly the remains of the old Indian
rock which is at the south side of
Buffalo creek, where it enters the
river at Wellsburg. 1t is now almost
gone. Years ago it had on its surface
many Indian hieroglyphics, and the
iniatials &c. W., which used to be
ascribed to the father Of his country,
since he made two trips down the
river from Pittsburg, once in 1853,
and again shortly after the revolution.
The hieroglyphics possibly indicated
the startling point of the Indian path
from the Ohio toward Redstone on the
Monongahela, distant 80 miles by the
way of Catfish Camp, where Washing
ton now stands, that was an old es-
tablished trail. The marks were Wis
ible only at very low water and they
may have had some reference to this
fact.-Wheeling News.

The Dedication Postponed.

1t has been found impossible to
dedicate the Baptist church this
month, as was first intended. A tele-
gram was received yesterday from the
manufacturers of the seats, stating
that they were unavoidably delayed
in making the seats and could not
furnish them as contracted for. The
dedication has consequently been post
poned until the first Sunday in De-
cember.
Rev. DR.. Whitman, OF Columbian
University, has found it impossible to
be here on the date set and another
gentleman will have to be obtained to
preach the sermon. Just when this
will be, has not yet been decided, but
it is safe to say that one of the best
preachers in the country will be Sc
cured.

The Bayard Fire Investigation.

The result of the investigation
with reference to the origin of the
fire at Bayard was the arrest of Mike
Long, base ball rustler, and S. T.
Anderson, the proprietor of the drug
store, for incendiarism. Anderson
is from Rock Hill, S. c., and Long
from Benezette, Pa Long confessed
that Anderson had punched a small
hole in the bottom of kerosene oil
tank in the wareroom where the fire
originated, had set a candle, which,
by careful experiment he had timed
to set on fire an oiled string running
to the oil and to some oiled excelsior
and ignite the combustibles at about
two o'clock, a. m, and had then left
for Elk Garden, paying him $50 to
see that the contrivance worked all
right, give the alarm and get his
trunk out. Both are now in Jail at
Maysville.

SHOT DOWN
Lewis W. Jones Meets Death in
Wezel County.


Formerly a Resident OF Battelle District
Killed while Breaking Into Dis
reputable House-Murderess Takes
Poison Her Life is Sayed-The Vic
tim Buried Near Cross Roads-Hith-
erto He Bore an Excellent Reputa-
ton.
One night last week a murder was
committed in Wetzel county ON Buff
falo Run. One Lewis w. Jones was
shot by disreputable woman and
lived but few moments. The wom-
an who did the shooting was Kitty
st. Clair or Kitty Morgan being
known by both these names Jones
was formerly resident Of this coun-
ty living in Battelle district.
An account of the affair was given
by this paper at the time eat it was
not then known that Jones was
known in this county and but few
details were published.
The affair seems to have occurred
as follows: Jones and several com
panions tanked up and went to a
sporting house managed by one AL
kire The crowd was rather bolster
GUS and became very obnoxious.
Finally they were ordered out and
the house closed up. The Morgan
woman then went to her room. Jones
returned and demanded admittance
This was refused. He began to kick
and batter the door. At this the
woman became enraged and told him
that if he persisted she would shoot
him.
The door was finally burst in and
Jones entered the room. The wom-
an at once shot him with her revoly-
err the bullet taxing effect in his
mouth and almost blowing his head
to pieces. Jones died almost instan-
ly.
After the shooting Miss Morgan
became wild with remorse and took
poison. Prompt efforts saved her
life and she has been lodged in the
Wetzel Jail to await trial for muir
der.
Jones remains were brought to
Battelle district where be was laid
to rest in the Tenant graveyard
near Cross Roads. The story of his
life contains moral which it is need
less to give here. Everyone can see
it for themselves. But for this es-
capade he would have been regarded
as young man of more than usual
integrity As far as can be learned
he has hitherto borne a splendid
reputation and was most fayorably
known at his old home. He comes
of very fine family who have the
sympathy of all in the trouble which
has befallen them.

A Fearless and Able o ifieer.

Charles w. Fawcett, of Kingwood,
was few years ago shoemaker who
made his living at the bench. He
was elected constable in the town
ship in which he lives last year and
since then has manifested great skill
in running down violaters of the law.
This summer he heard of the opera
tions of the gang of gold counterfeit
ers in that county and notified the
Secret Service at Washington, which
detailed G. o. Barker one OF the bu-
reau detectives, on the case. Detect
i've Barker met Constable Fawcett
and soon saw his ability0 that line
and turned the case over to him.
Fawcett was sworn in as a deputy
detective and succeeded in bringing
four of the counterfeiters to justice,
found their rendezvous in the s'Wildcat
Rocks and discovered all their tools
and found bag of the counterfeit SIS
gold pieces. Fawcett had several
narrow escapes in arresting these
dangerous men and proved himself
equal to any emergency. He is bold
and fearless and the department at
Washington complimented him upon
his good work this summer.

C. l. MACDONALD
May Not Get All the Locks and Dams
Bids Sent to Washington.

The work of tabulating the bids
for the construction of the new Mon
ongahela locks and dams has been
completed. 1t was stated yesterday
in Major Powells Office that the bids
will probably be forwarded to Wash
ington to-day. How soon the award
of the contract will be made cannot
be exactly stated
Bids for the six locks and dams
were called for in three groups of two
each. G. l. Mcdonald, of Pittsburg,
was the lowest bidder in every in
stance, but it is thought that only
four of the locks and dams will be
built by him, for the reason that the
work can be done more quickly by
two Different contractors.
W. G. lutte, of lutte & Co., one OF
the bidders, is reported as saying
that certain parties have resorted to
artful measures by which they hope
to secure to themselves the contracts
for the work. The assertion is that a
resolution was introduced in the
Pittsburg coal exchange and the
chamber of commerce urging that
the contracts be awarded to contract
ors other than the lowest bidders.
The resolutions were modified in both
instances so that they now appear on
the minutes as simple recommends
alton that the Government work be
pushed as rapidly as possible.

Yesterday at Pittsburg, Judge Jo-
seph Burlington suspended sentense in
the case of James u. Protzman who
was charged with having used the
mails TO. purposes of fraud. The
charges were not nearly so bad as first
reports of the trouble had led people
to expect.
Protzman hailed from Morris X
Roads, and had always borne splen-
did reputation. The Judge was large
ly influenced in his decision by this
fact. The prosecution did not urge
the case and all the circumstances
were such that extreme forbearance
was in order.
He is now at his home, and the in
dications are that the lesson will
prove most beneficial to him. The
one false step will not cause his
friends to desert him, but has gained
for him many new ones. We are glad
the escapade has not resulted any
more seriously.
