Some interesting figures on the
school enrolment Of West Vir.
ginia for last session have been
compiled at the department OF
schools. Harrison county's at
tendance was 5,641. The total
school population Of the State,
as enumerated in April, 1898, in
the reports of county superin-
tendents, is 302, 1854 which makes
the enrolment over two-thirds OF
the schoo! population, and over a
fifth of the entire population OF
the State, which is estimated, to
be 1,OO7,513. This estimate is
based on the school census, by
using a ratio of the school popu'
lation and the entire population
as shown by the last general cen
sus. This ratio is 8 3.
An exciting cutting scrape oc'
CURED on passenger train No, So
a short distance from this city
Sunday night, in which Jim Criss
severely cut two members ofthe
Black Crook Company with a
razor. The show was going west
and when the train stopped at
the depot here one of the men
who was taking in the sights
from the car window waived al
Jim and his sister, who were
standing on the platform. Young
Criss took the performance as or
insult and went into the car and
said some very naughty things
70 the man, who however, took
it all good naturally. When the
train pulled out the fellow gave
jim a farewell waive of the hand
which made him quite furious,
and he jumped on the moving
train and ran into the car where
the men were and proceeded tc
do the carving act, and before any
one was aware of what was going
en- one man had been severely
cut across the arm. Another
member of the company whoat
tempted to quiet Jim also receiv'
ed a cash on the hand. Capt
Ed. Picket, who was in charge
of the train, took charge of the
young man and when it wa.
found out that no serious damage
had been done he was released
and put off the train near thu
railroad bridge. The men, wht
had been cut, refused to prose
cute him.
