Ayail-Jail door left unfastened and
two negroes escaped.
FAIRMoNT, w. Va. Jan. 10-This
afternoon the preliminary hearing oil
James Schultz resulted in his being
held without bail, charged with the
murder Of Will Metz, on Christmas
day. Shultz's attorney made a hard
light to get him held only for man
slaughter, and proved he carried the
revolver to put an end" as he said,
to man named Brumage, who had
caused trouble between him and his
wife. Shultzis only 10 years of age,
and was recently divorced from his
wife. According to the evidence,
the man he killed had the reputa-
ton Of being a fighter, and attacked
Shultz first, giving him a sound
beating After this Shultz offered
his hand, but Metz refused to make
up Metz drew back moment later
as if to hit Shultz, but his attention
was attracted to a man named
Weakley, who was trying to separate
them. Shultz then drew his gun,
put it up within two inches of Metz's
head, and killed him.
Constable Frank Swisher brought
Shultz to trial and neglected to
fasten the Jail door, and two Monon-
gah negroes escaped. The charges
against them were slight.

The Business Men Asked to Rafs

! Plan.
The b. s. L. Company have a propo
sition which means much to the town
The offer is made by company o
capitalists who propose to come her,
providing their offer is accepted b,
the town. They are very modest il
their request. They only want fire,
site which the r. & /. will furnish
them and besides they want ter
thousand dollars bonus. The B. & l.
will give half OF this il the bushes.
men Of the town will give the rest
The company have already done more
than their share for the upbuilding Of
the town than they are required, tc
judge by any standard, and their offel
is most generous one.
What the new company is to do ir
return is very satisfactory and will re.
ceiye the appreciation of every one.
They will put up factory TO employ
from l25 to $50 Een to start on, and
will make it larger as time goes on.
They will not run against the Seneca
but will rather help the factory's out
put. The concerns will be mutually
helpful. They will make an agree.
ment to run for number of years to
be determined upon. OF course the
details have not been arranged but
they will be made satisfactory to all
concerned. Probably the same ar
rangements that obtain in regard to
the Seneca will be adopted.
The whole matter will be laid be-
fore the business men of the town to-
morrow night at the Office Of the I'm
ion improvement company and all the
people interested in the progress OF
the town are invited to attend The
meeting yill begin at seven o'clock.
1t is reasonable to suppose that the
scheme will be a success. The bene-
fits derived from the factory which we
already have make that much to be
expected. The town gets enough in
one month from having the Seneca
here as the whole bonus asked for by
the new factory. The whole popula-
ton has felt the impetus and business
in every avenue of trade has been ben
Gifted. The amount asked is very
small one and the offer OF the i'm
proyement company reduces it still
further. Every one should attend
the meeting and assure the landing of
The tempting prize.
With another factory employing the
number of hands that the new one
proposes to do will make the prosper
ity of the town even greater than it
has been for the past few years when
it has been unequalled in the history
of the town. Morgantown has been
moving right along and the good work
should be kept up. Go to the meeting
and help it along with your encour-
agement and your cash.

The Civil Docket.

Clerk Glasscock has made ont the
civil docket for the February term
of court and there is curious state
of affairs revealed. THERE'S but one
new civil case to come for considera-
ton for the first time. There is an
other which comes up as an appeal
but there is but the one which will
be taken up for the first time This
is a thing which has not hap
pened before in the memory of the
clerk. Usually there are from eight
to ten new cases, rarely less than ten
and sometimes more than that mum
Der. If this keeps up the lawyers
will be reduced to very short com
mons but there is very little danger
of such thing continuing for very
long time.
