TERRIBLE RUNAWAY.
Mrs. Marion Carlow and J. Ewing
Davis Hurt.

Saturday afternoon news came
from the pump station that another
great misfortune had fallen on the
devoted family of Marion Carlow.
1t was thought that another member
had received summons to join the
great majority. A fatal accident
had occurred. Inquiry and later de-
velopments have showed that these
reports were a trifie exaggerated.
Mrs. Carlow although severely hurt
will recover.
The particulars as near as can be
learned are as follows; Mrs. Carlow
had been Frustrated since Miss
Lulu's death and unable to leave her
room. She became better Saturday
and her physician advised her to
take drive. Accordingly accompa-
MED byIJ Ewing Davis she drove
toward the pump station. They
passed the cemetery where lot was
selected for the interment and drove
on up the road. After going for
Some distance it was decided to re-
turn and they started back. On
making the turn some part of the
carriage caught in a gas pipe and
the pipe became detached. The sud
den flow of gas resulting thoroughly
frightened the horses and the runa-
way resulted. The carriage struck
several telephone poles without re-
ceiving much injury. Presently it
struck one fairly and was complete
ly demolished. The occupants were
thrown out. Mr.. Davis received sew
eral severe bruises but soon recover
ed from the fall. Mrs. Carlow struck
the sidewalk injurying her shoulder
and getting a cut on the head beside
other injuries. She was carried into
John Madagan's near where the ac-
cident occurred and remained uncon-
scious for some time. 1t was at first
feared that she was injured inter
nally but she recovered enough to
be brought to Mrs. Sarah Wood 8
where she now is.
The horses and carriage belonged
to DR.. Hopkins. They continued
their runaway until they came over
to town where they were caught by
Ed Blair and put in stable. The
harness was torn to pieces but the
horses beyond y few scratches re.
ceived no injuries.
The sad affair caused great deal

THE MoReASrowN ROLLER MILL


Two years ago Mr. Jefferson Ten
nant rented the Mackey Mill on
Decker's Greek and began to oper-
ate it. To-day he is owrer of one of
the finest and best equipped plants
in this section. These words tell
the eloquent story of the success
which has attended the efforts of
this model business man. The plant
operated by him is situated in South
Morgantown and is an imposing one
of brick comprising three stories and
a basement. The building is 40x2S
feet. The power house is 16x2S and
contains the boiler and engine both
of the very best and of great power.
A 30 foot square elevator is located
at one end of the mill and runs up
the three stories, containing storage
bins. The business enjoyed by the
firm is wholesale exclusively and Is
of great volume running the mill to
its full capacity. The product is
nearly all disposed of right at home
thus testifying to the regard in
which it is held by the people who
know him best. The mill can turn
out from 20 to so barrels of -four per
day and employs three men con-
stantly.
The contract for the building was
let on July 18th, 1896 and everything
was completed, the machinery set
and ready for operation on January
20, 1897 A receipt was received by
Mr.. Tenant on the 2Sth of the same
month for payment in full for the
machinery and paying very high
compliment to his prompt, and sat
isfactory methods of doing business.
We heartily congratulate him on
the get there abilities displayed by
him and hope that his career of sue
cess may continue uninterrupted.

G. 1 v. E. fRicE.

One of the oldest, most substan-
tial and progressive business enter
prises OF Morgantown is the plant
operated by this firm ON Front street.
Established over half century ago
by L. Price it has become one of
our land marks and has prospefed
and grown as their town has expand
ed. For time after its beginning
it was run solely by E. Price and
then for a plumber of years his sons
were associated with him in the bus
mess. For the past twenty years or
more it has been under the immedi-
ate direction of the sons who com
pose the present firm. Their strict
attention to every point of the bust
ness and the enterprising conduct
of affairs has resulted In making it
what it is to-day, one of the leading
plants in the state. The establish
ment is three story one 40xl00
feet and the immense stock carried
jams it from the ground floor to the
attic. So prosperous has the bust
ness become that an addition to the
plant is imperative and this will be
built as soon as the weather will per
NIT. This win give them three
floors 40x165 feet. The firm beside
having large local retail trade
keeps two men on the road constant
ly as sellers and even then they are
not equal to the demand.
Their speciality is hard wood man
tells and some of the finest speci-
mems of those beautiful creations
manufactured are turned out by
them. In addition to these all kinds
of furniture, bank, Office and drug
store fixtures are manufactured, the
very latest and improved machinery
being used in every process involved.
Twelve men are employed in the
various departments Of the business.
We congratulate the firm upon the
great success which has attended
their efforts and point to them as an
EXAMPLE Of what strict attendance
upon business will bring to every
one. Morgantown has many splen-
did industries but none more pecu-
liarly indigenous than this.

New Oil DEVELOPMENT.

The Blackshire well owned by Shay
and Hall about four miles from Point
Marion in Greene county, Pa, came In
recently and made two flows Of $50
barrels each in 48 hours. This strike
has produced very great excitement
as this well Is at a great distance
from any other producing well, and it
is thought that large field will be
developed. Leasers galore have been
rushing into it, and as many Of the
leases stipulate that operations must
be begun within 80 days it is expected
that its possibilities will soon be de-
termined. Rather high prices have
been put on the different leases by the
eager would-be leasers.

The Ice Goes Ont.

The ice on the river which had got
ten TO be from six to eight inches
thick and was causing river men a
great deal of anxiety went out Satur-
day night as quietly as could be ex-
pected. The break came gradually.
The temperature did not go much over
40 above at any time and as the rise
came slowly the conditions were the
most favorable. Small pieces Of ice
were running all day Sunday and the
sight attracted many sight seers.
Several large masses at the wharf
were greatly in the way and force of
men worked at the ice for quite
while meeting with but little success
however. Sunday night these were
dynamited and the heavy explosions
were felt all over town. The wharf
was cleared as nicely as could be. So
far as could be learned no damage to
speak of has resulted from the break

New Connection for the Peoples Line.

We learn this week that the Fair
mont and Warrington Telephone COM
pany is making preparations to open
connections with both Clarksburg and
Morgantown in the very near future.
Both lines are under construction and
the company expects to have the con-
nections completed and open to the
public within the next 80 days. The
connection at Clarksburg will be made
with the Clarksburg Telephone Com
pany with nearly 100 subscribers, and
with line connection to Philippi, Buck
harmon, West Union and smaller in
termediate towns, while the Morgan
town connection is with the Peoples
Telephone Company of Monongalia
county. This last mentioned compa-
ny reaches every point in Monongalia
county, and in addition runs to King
wood, Newburg, Rowlesburg and many
points in Preston county. The Nor
gantown exchange now numbers near
ly so subscribers and is growing rap
idly. This is a good institution and
one of great convenience to our people.

The Military Gall.

For several years it has been the
custom to give grand military ball
under the auspice, Of the cadet corps.
This event has been the society func-
tion of the winter season and has been
eagerly looked forward to by the socie-
ty people. For a time this year it
seemed that the enterprise would have
to be abandoned owing to the inabili-
ty to get committee to conduct it.
But now every obstacle has been re-
moved and the ball is an assured
fact. More than that it will be the
most elegant affair ever given under
that name. The date fixed for the
ball is February 10th. Invitations are
now out and over three hundred of
the prominent, civic, military and So
ciety dignitaries of the State have
been invited. That a majority Of
them will attend goes without saying
for the delights and joys of the mill
tary ball are so well known that its
attractions are irresistible. The COM
mittee having the affair in charge is
composed of the following young gen.
tlemen whose carrying it to great
success is an assured fact: George
Anderson, Will Cramer and Nevette
Thomson.

BOXING DOWN EAST

Eastport, November 8.-The Ouoddy
Athletic club opened it's winter boxing
season tonight with an attractive pro-
grammme, with two six round prelimi-
naries and one Is round contest be-
tween John Mooney of PASSPORT and
Frank George of st. John, for purse OF
500. The ring was a 20 foot one and
Jack Burke was referee.
The opening bout was between Cole
Cammack and Herb Sprague at 1876
pounds. The men fought we'll till the
fourth round when Cammack went down
three times. The decision went to
Sprague.
The second preliminary was between
Charley Foster of Frederick ton, N. B.,
and Richard Goldsworth of st John, at
1874 pounds. Foster was light in weight
and in the first two rounds made better
showing.
Then followed four slow rounds in
which Foster outpointed his opponent and
got the decision.
In the chief event Mooney vs. George
there was some good work after the first
round. George was almost out after the
first round and getting his feet after the
first round kept Mooney hustling. A
draw after 10 rounds was entirely salts.

taken, but the thief soon left the house,
and olew was never obtained.
When Kelley was arrested the Willands
saw his picture in the papers, and the
face seemed familiar to Mrs Willard, and
was positively sure she had seen the face
before, and made up her mind that it was
the face of the party in womans clothes,
who had tied her. Mr.. Willard secured
Kelley's picture and when his wife saw 1t
she exclaimed: "That is the man who
came to the house that day; am sure of
it," Her positiveness tended to convince
her of the probability of the Identification,
and with this feeling he did not wish to
try the young man on a capital offense

seem like piling on accusations, but the
matter should only be considered In rela-
ton to the remarks of the juror and

was that of Whipple and he was ap.

the players of the Maine league they have
always been favorites here.
When Referee E. A. Wakefield of Au.

rush, Portland's new rusher, Curtis was
the first to reach the ball and he sent it
fiying towards the Bath goal. At first
the Portland men did not seem to get In
TO the play as well as did the Bath team.
They showed plainly at this time that
they were unacoustomed to play together,
and at first their team work was very
yellow. Jean was playing half back at
the opening of the game and showed him
self to be very ocol man who was indis.

coal. He showed some clever work and
though he seemed to be trifle slow he
always got into the play with Il fierceness
which did much to make up for the slow
playing on the part Of Curtis and Morton
