GREAT LEGAL BATTLE.
Clarksburg Witnessed Nee ting Of
Giants To-day.

The extra term of the circuit
court began its proceedings last Mon
day by electing Hon. Edwin Maxwell
special Judge. AS it was generally
understood that the court was con-
yened to hear certain condemnation
proceedings, in regard to the right of
the Short Line, pretty good sized
crowd was present. However, Max
well happened to be absent and the
court took recess until evening
when it met and set the rail road
cases for Saturday of this week. The
battle promises to be conflict be-
tween legal giants, judging from the
lawyers of note who are billed to APP
pear for. one side or the other.
"There will be made a motion to
dissolve the injunction against the
town of Clarksburg, temporarily
granted by Judge Freer, in behalf of
the Short Line Railroad. Alfred
Caldwell, formerly attorney general,
of Wheeling, B. NJ. Amber, of
Parkersburg, and John j. Davis and
J. P. Clifford represent the railroad,
and the town of Clarksburg will be
represented by its solicitor, NJ. M.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
tiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

The BAPTIST CHURCH
Completed After a Quarter Cen
fury of Effort.
An Extremely Creditable Edifice-Cast
About $4,000 = Arrangements for
the dedication December II.


1t is said, sAll things come to him
who waits The Baptists have
waited long, if at times impatiently,
for the completion Of their honse Of
worship. Now they are about to see
their fondest hopes realized, and see
the church, which was begun in '94,
completed. A new church has been
talked of for quarter century.
No active steps were taken until
Rev. Ross Ward was called as pas
tor of the church in Oct. 1891 The
old church was situated on Long
Alley, and there was a great deal of
opposition to building elsewhere.
Some were true to the not widely
known custom among Baptists, viz:
if there is a spot not fit for anything
else, a spot SO steep and slippery
that nothing but court plaster viii
stick to it, that spot must he chosen
for a Baptist church.
This opposition was finally over
come, and a ot on Main street was
secured for the new church.
Architect Fulton prepared and
submitted plan which was accepted
and the contract for the building
was let to Wood d Zearley.
Work progressed rapidly for a
while, and 1t seemed the church
would soon be completed. But fail
ure to get some money that had been
promised compelled them to stop
the work, and it was not until the
summer of the present year that the
work was resumed.
Rev. j. L. McCutcheon WIS called
to the pastorate Of the church June
LIST, and Immediately took steps
toward the completion of the build
ing. The work was put in the hands
of Mr.. Fields, of Smithfield. He and
number of competent workmen have
finished the carpenter work, and the
church is now being frescoed.
The new church has a seating ca
pacity of about six hundred 1t will
be seated witlpews instead ol chairs
as was first intended.
Besides the audience and Sunday
School room, there are three class
room on the first floor On the second
floor is the pastors study and a
large room to be used for dining
room, or anything for which the
church may choose to use it
The church when completed, will
have cost $4,000 The Baptsts
hope to dedicate the church Dec. II.
DR.. W. A. Stanton, pastor of the
Shady Avenue Baptist church, of
Pittsburg, will preach the dedicate
ry sermon. Rev. w. f. Powell, of
Parkersburg, will be present and
take part in the exercises. There
will be three services during the day,
morning, afternoon and evening.
The Baptists have been without a
house of worship for some time, and
we think the whole town will re-
joice with them on this day

JOHN MORsAN WILL HANG.
Governor Atkinson Refuses to
Interfere in His Behalf.
The Governor Satisfied That Morgaa is
not Insane Enough to Warrant
Executive rIemeuey.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Nov. 20
John Morgan, jackson eounty's fend-
ish triple murderer, will hang.
His last resource proved unayailing.
Governor Atkinson to-day refused
to interfere in his case, and Morgan
will have TO pay the penalty of his
hellish, crimes with his own life.
The Governors action was not a
hasty one. He has had the case be-
fore him for some days, and has
thoroughly examined all records.
The fact that he rad two medical
experts, DIR. T. B. Camden, and DR..
L. V. Guthrie, examine Morgan as
to his sanity, shows that the Govern
or made a deliberatiye and thorough
investigation.
He had before him the report OF
the two physicians and to-day made
public his decision that Morgan is
not insane emo Ugh to warrant execu-
tive clemency.
Therefore justice will be appeased on
December l6.

* How to Prevent Pneumonia.
At this time of the year a cold is
very easily contracted, and If let to
run its course without the aid Of some
reliable cough medicine is liable to
result in that dread disease, pneu-

edy to cure a cough or cold than
ham,berlain's Cough remedy. We
have used it quite extensively and it
has always given entire satisfac-
tion.-Oolagah, Ind. Ter. Chief.
This is the only remedy that is
known to be a certain preventative
of pneumonia. Among the many
thousands who have used it for cold
and lagrippe we have neveryet learned
of a single case having resulted in

Among the many very beautiful
churches in New York, the church Of
the TRANSPORTATION holds a unique
place, and the recent death of its
rector, DR.. H0ughton, has called forth
from press and people such a tribute
of affection as a private citizen seldom
receives. The forty-ninth anniyer-
sary OF the founding OF the parish was
celebrated in October, and ever since
the beginning it has been the center
of active personal service among the
weak, the unfortunate and the sinful.
The origin Of the present name will
probably be recalled by many of your
readers. An actor named George
Holland died, and his personal friends,
among them Joseph Jefferson, called
upon the pastor of fashionable
church in Madison Avenue to ask him
to conduct the burial service; they
met with a decided and not kindly
refusal, being told finally that per-
haps they might be accommodated at
"a little church just round the cor
ner." To this they went and were
received by the rector in the spirit of
the Master. Ever since then the
little church has been endeared to the
entire theatrical profession. From it
many celebrated actors, among them
Edwin Booth, bsye been buried, and
on Saturday last the players did not
forget to honor the old doctors MEM
CRY by attending his funeral. As he
| lay before the chancel steps in the
chapel, clad in white silk yestment
and surrounded by flowers, hundreds
passed through the doors to take a
last look at his peaceful face; it was
noticed that large proportion of
these were poor working people, and
members of the colored race, for DIR.
Houghton's great heart knew no dis
tinction of race or color in his per-
petual labor of love. Bishop Potter,
attended b. a very large delegation OF
the distinguished clergy of New
York, officiated at the funeral. AT
one end of the coffin stood great
cross of roses, sent by the actors
fund, and at the other similar one
from the choir boys. Delegations
from the Players Club, Sisters Of Char.
ity, members OF the Seamen's Union,
New York bankers and brokers, old
and young, the obscure and the pow
erful, all crowded into the church to
pay the last honors to the dead priest.
The Sun says in an editorial. ga
man of God was buried to-day from
the Church Of TRANSPORTATION; man
made famous by brave performance Of
simple duty as he saw it, but who
would have endured derision and alb
loquy instead, rather than have
swerved one inch from the obligation
he believed he owed to God and his
fellow men. N.E.

organ of Congressman Nelson Dingley,
says editorally:
''Much as every true friend Of

it may now he regarded Us settled
that the Congressional campaign of

line of 1896. When State like
Kentucky turns its back on Carlisle
to follow Bryan, aud a State like Ne
braska, which sees before is eyes in
every market the refutati,n of the
Bryan theory that silver and wheat
are linked together by the Almighty,
still persist in bowling down to the
silver idol, it is useless for sound
money men to lose sight of the GER
tainty that the Is to i silver fallacy

ness men may as well prepare to meet
this issue next year, when we hope
it will be settled forever. I"

NARROW ESCAPE
From Instant Death Experienced
by Mr.. A. 6. Pixler

His Clothing Catches In Belt He Is
Hurled Headleng into a Pulley
slant Help Saves His Lie Badly Cut
About the Head.
A. g. Pixler the engineer at Price
Bros. Furniture Factory was badly
injured this morning about 1920
How badly hurt he is of course can
not be told just nos. The injuries were
received about the head for the most
part although few minor ones were
received about other parts of the
body. How the man escaped from
instant death is remarkable.
He was engaged in gearing pull
ley when his clothing caught in the
belt and he was drawn into the
pulley head first. The belt was one
of the main ones being five inch
one and it was running at full speed.
Had not assistance been close at
hand be would undoubtedly been
killed within a few moments. Luck
lily one of the employees of the plant
was near by and rushed to the en-
CINE and shut it off.
When Pixler was reached he was
found TO be unconscious and bleed
ing from severe cut in the head
He was at once removed to his home
on Front street and Drs. Brock d
Wade summoned. They immediate
l,y dressed his wounds When asked
as to the extent and probable out
come of his injuries Dr. Wadestated
that he could not tell just how bad
ly he was injured but hoped that he
would soon recover. The head was
quite badly injured. a long cut over
one eye being the worst one received
When last heard from Pixler was
resting easier and the prospects Of
his early recovery seem very good
His escape was certainly most
fortunate one.
