ahead of Golden would be fined SS5.
Down they came again, every morse IN

drivers would be stopped and fined, but
to their surprise they were sent away. IL
was q hot race from start to nnlsn pe-
tween Courier Journal and Dan ", One
latter finally nosing it out IN the worry
fast time of 2.07 IA. There was all klnus
of kicking about the start and about the
time, for Dan O. people, although giao
to win the hea didn't want such low
mark. They claimed the heat was paceo
in 3. 09, but the judges insisted that they
were right and so it turned ont that the
knife cut both ways.
The fourth and last heat, however, set
tied things, for although Dan O. was
looked upon as probable winner ne
broke at the word and dropped way to
the rear. Courier Journal moved to the
front and stayed there. and although Dan
O. paced terrific last half he could not
oyertake the black horse, who won in the
slow time of 2.12 IA.

Bell RinEings.

According to DUrandus, bells were
commonly rung for divine offices not
fewer than II times day. Besides the
sermon bell, to which the reformation
gave unprecedented Importance, there
was the pancake bell, thus named
because it was rung. on the forenoon OF
Shrove Tuesday and was originally in
tended to call the faithful to confession
before Lent began. 1t is still rung in
Bucl1inghamshire, at the county town,
at TinSewick, High Wycombe, and five
other places, and within living memory
it was In use at several villages, among
them at scarborough, where it was
rung by women, who We're paid half
penny each. At Thornborough, too,
women ring the pancake bel. One
wonders why.
Antiquarics have often told us that
the old adage, "Nine tailors make 6
man, " is "a mere corruption of that die

The republicans composed OF
Tyler and Wetzel counties have
met in convention and nominated
as their candidate the Hon. Burgess
for the position as member of the
House Of Delegates to represent the
delegate district composed of the
two counties above mentioned.
Mr.. Burgess very few years ago
was candidate for the same Office,
having been first nominated by the
Populist and endorsed by the re.
publicans and was elected. Just
how Populists can run on a gold
standard ticket is not plain to us.
We would be pleased to have Mr.,
Burgess explain how he can do
this and stick to his principles.
We might further add that as a
delegate he was a miserable failure.

The Star does not take it kindly
because we said so many Of our
people attened the county fair. The
Star is not the mouth piece OF the
Fair Association, whose officers we
are sure, appreciated all the patron
age it received from Our people.
The Star seem to be alittle sore
because we printed the fair premi-
um list. We was the lowest and
best bidders and printed for the
Association by lar the handsomest
premium list that the Association
ever sent out and the finest book
OF the kind ever sent out by any
fair association in the state.
1t was as far ahead Of the
blacksmith work the Star sent out
as day is from night for light. The
Star is further informed that if the
directors next year ask for bids that
we expect to put in a bid and we are
sure we will secure the Job. If,
however, the Star underbids us we
will bow submissively and hope for
better fortune next year. The Star
should not forget that it does not
own the whole county and can not
exactly run it in every department.
The Star seems to think we did
not give the Association enough
free advertising. Just why we
should do this is not plain. We
had no contract to run any free ad.
vertising for The fair; we are under
no obligations to do so, and we
think we did as much advertising
as the Star did. The Association
makes great mistake in not ad-
vertlslng the fair in the newspapers.
We believe a couple of hundred
dollars invested with the newspa-
papers would bring the fair thou
sand dollars in return; but if the
directors think differently, that is
their business, not ours. We can
live either way but would like to
see our fair kept up and be a sue.
cess but that can't be done with
forty-fve.dollar races and no adver-
Using.

A SHOCKING
FATALITY
Warren BrOWncll Killed
While Cunning.
CHARGE ENTERED BRAIN.
Many Surgeons Summoned, but They
Could Not Save Him.
CHARGE ENTERED BRAIN.
WAS HEIR TO LARGE FORTUNE.

Newport was shocked late yesterday
by the news that Warren Brownell, IL
years OF age. son of Mrs. Seth III.
Brownell OF this city, had accidentally
fatally shot himself at the third beach
at Middletown, east of Newport. He
went off cunning, as he often did. ac-
companied by a number of friends. and
while looking into the gun barrel. the
hammer fell and young Brownelrs
brain received the heavy charge Of
shot
The shot rendered him unconscious at
once, and he remained in that condi-
ton until the time of his death, which
occurred about 4 o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon. His younger brother. who was
with him, gave the alarm after the ac-
cident, and the wounded boy was soon
receiving the very best of care. DR..
Stewart was called first, and he realized
at once that the boy was In critical
condition and required the most dill
gent attention. He called Drs. Bull and
Darragh and DIR. Gardner of this city
I'm consultation with him, but their
combined efforts were OF no avail.
Had Warren Brownell lived he would
have come into possession OF fortune
when he became of age. He was a
nephew OF Col A. Prescott Baker of
Boston. His maternal grandfather was
the late Alfred Smith, the many times
millionaire real estate owner. OF New
port He was also a brother OF Miss
Brownell, the editor of the Grasshopper,
a very popular periodical. The body of
the deceased will be brought to this city
on Saturday and the funeral VIII be
held here at the family residence on
Broadway.
