A BIG VERDICT.
Jury Awards Plaintiff SIS, 303.63 in
Case OF Dover VS.. Durr.
Standard.

The case of Samuel c. Cover
against David L. DUR was tried in
the court of common pleas No. 3 of
Allegheny county during portion
of last week and this week, a
verdict for Cover amounting to $15,-
393.63 was rendered by the jury on
Tuesday morning. David S. Nc
Cam and J. L. Riehey, Esqs., repre-
sented Cover, the plaintiff, and s B
Schoyer Esq, and Mcdonald and
Cray, represented the defendant
Durr, the defendant, lives near Ma
sontown, Fayette county, and Cover
several years ago taught school in
this county. Both parties are well
known here. The case grew out of
the sale Of about 1900 acres of coal
land near Masontown to Herbert Du-
Puy. Durr held the options for this
coal and Cover claimed that Durr
had made an agreement with him
that in case of sale, he, Cover, was
to have share of the profits equal
to five per cent. of the gross amount
realized from the coal options. Cow
ers claim was hotly contested dur
ing the entire trial This is proba-
bly, the largest verdict that has ever
been recovered in Allegheny county
by real estate agent for com mis-
sions, as Cover was in the real es-
tate business at the time his services
were rendered

A willing Editor.

The custom Is not SO common now
as it was years ago for the editors Of
country weeklies to take pay for their
subscription In produce, poultry or
anything else that they could use in
their homes or sell. A prospective sub
scriber to the West Newton Sun re-
Gently wrote letter inquiring wheth-
the editor would take his pay ia chick
ems and he replied: "Yes-and wood
and meal, meat and corn, and pota-
toes and peaches, and billy goats and
pigs, and horses and hay, and land
and mules, and calves, and rabbits,
and wheat, and turnips, and any old
thing you've got. We have on rare
occasions taken money on subscrip-
tions.n

COUNCIL MEETING.
Very Little Business Transacted last
Night at the Regular Session Of
Council.

Council held its regular meeting
last night but little business of gener-
al interest was transacted. A num-
Der Of people were relieved from pay
ing taxes for one reason or another
which was presented and which was
satisfactory to the city fathers.
The application for building per-
nit which was presented by Fenton
Rice was laid over until the next meet
ing when it will be disposed of. The
permit is to build building on his
lot on Spruce street which is to have
three chimneys and is to be made so
that six rooms can be cut off in it
il necessary.
The regular election was ordered
to be held on the first Thursday in
January which comes on the fifth.
Notice of it will be found in another

A FEW MORE DAYS.
David Musgrave will then walk
out a free man.

In prison for long time-The end of
his last term-Pr0gress ofthe famous
trial-Several tears and a fortune
spent in it-State has to accept q
compromise on the last trial and
David gets small fine and impris-
0nment-If innocent he has suffered
immensely if guilty he is getting off
easily.
On Thursday morning David Mus
grave will be liberated from The coun-
ty jail after spending several years in
there since his arrest charged with the
murder of his wife. He is looking
forward to the day with great deal
OF Impotence and will come out Of
his prision with much joy and re-
lief.
He will then have served out the
six months to which he was sentenced
by the circuit court at his late trial
for the murder of his wife.
He had been convicted of the MUIR
der in the first degree and had been
sentenced to imprisonment to the
state penitentiary for life but after a
long fight and being before the SUI
preme court several times he obtained
new trial and when it came up he
was in first class shape for it.
Few of the state witnesses could
have put in as strong testimony as
they did the first time. Many of them
had moved out of the state and were
hard to get. Others had died and
everything was on the side of the
prisoner.
The Supreme court had ruled out
lot of the most weighty evidence
against Musgrave and the state was
almost helpless. When the prisoner
came into court for the new trial there
was large crowd present.
A few minutes later it could be seen
that some kind of a plan was on foot
to do away with the trial and after a
while it was announced to the court
that the prisoner had agreed to plead
guilty to involuntary manslaughter
and that the state had consented to
it.
The sentence of the court was Of
imprisonment for six months and
fifty dollars fine. The long time that
Musgrave had already served in jail
was taken into consideration by his
honor when passing sentence. This
time is almost up and in few days
Musgrave will walk out a free man.
If he is innocent he has suffered most
severely. If guilty few will say that
he has had enough. But in any event
all must admit that the test has in
deed been heavy one.

A FACT.
Navigation of the West Fork
has begnn.

Small boat reaches Clarksburg En-
gineers there ON the suryey-Lucas
and others are looking into the mat
ter dear to D0vener's heart-Several
weeks more to be taken i'm the sur
Yey-Engineers fayorably impressed
with Clarksburg and surrounding
country.
CLARKsBURG, w. Va. December 10
The dream of Captain B. B. Doven-
er was realized this week and the
West Fork river is now a nayigable
stream. The first old sea dog was be-
held complaceutly blowing the icy
waters of the river Wednesday, ma
jestically defending upon the grand
old city, looming up in the distance
with her sky-scraping spires. The
curling waves from the mammoth
smoke-stack of our factories, foun-
dries and mills beckoned welcome in
their aerial flights and the glad It'd
ings were carried upon the breezes,
that the noble little schooner had
come to carry our products to the
great markets of the world, and as a
matter of diversion to float merry ex-
cursionists down-(the pacific waters
of the Potomic to Marshall Hall, we
were going to say to ecstatic Gypsy
Grove place, TO escape while at least
the sitting air of an over-crowded
city.
The skiff, for it was just little
boat picked up for the use of govern
ment surveyors, was manned by a
crew of y. S. civil engineers with
Chief Engineer G. NJ. Lehman, of
Pittsburg, as captain. The members
of the crew were Henry Steinrok, Jr.,
of Pittsburg. Charles Steinrok, of
Pittsburg, William Hall. of Ellington
and Charles Hall, of Ellington. They
arrived here Tuesday and secured
around for boat for their use in sur
yeying the river, and the Mail knows
OF no more appropriate name for that
skiff than DoVener, as the navigation
of the West Fork is pet scheme of
our clever and genial congressman,
Capt. b. B. Dovener.
Engineer Lehman. in brief inter
view with the Mail, stated that the
object Of their work was to determine
the feasibility Of slack water for the
West Fork from here to Fairmont,
and to secure date of the commercial
aspects; also to ascertain the high
and low water stages of the river.
Mr.. Lehman further stated that the
work was being done by the direction
of Maj. Chas. f, Powell, chief of the
corps of civil engineers, U. S. A., OF
Pittsburg
The reporter learned that corps
under Engineer |. N. Lucas would
join Mr.. Lehman's party in a day or
so, either at this point or down the
river a few miles. The starting point
here is at the mouth of Elk Creek at
the west end of town, and active op-
erations will be begun within day
or so. The surveyors expect to be
engaged in the work until the new
year.
Mr.. Lehman was most favorably
impressed with the city and the sur
rounding sections of country. He
commented on the novel spectacle of
three handsome banks on three oppo-
site corners and another within a
stones throw. ''There is evidence
said he, 'of much thrift, wealth and
domestic commerce in Clarksburg. +"
