FALLING METEORS.
A great shower may be expected about
the eth.

A writer in the BraXton Democrat
gives some information about period
ical showers of meteors that may be
of interest. He says:
1t is a fact, perhaps not generally
known to your readers that on or about
the 9th of this month, there will
occur the periodical shower of falling
meteors that is witnessed at some
point on the globe at or near that
date every thirteen years. 1t is be-
lieved by astronomers, but is not en-
tirely certain, that if atmospheric
conditions are favorable at the time
the shower will be visible in this
country as well as in England, where
the meteoric displays are always
watched by scientists with the great
est interest. The meteors which
compose this shower are called an
dromedes, name derived from the
constellation from which they fall
and must not be COMPOUNDED with the
great shower of Leonides, whlc. "x-
pected to occur in November, 1855,
in 1900, and some struggling spec.
mems Of which as fcrerunners Of the
great shower may possibly be seen
after midnight on the 18th Or 14th of
the present month. The radiant of
the coming shower will be in the con-
stellation Andromeda, and it is said
will be diffused over considerable
portion of it, being five or six degrees
wide and perhaps twelve degrees long,
and as the earth, in its diurnal revo-
Tuition, causes the radiant to appear
i'm the zenith about o'clock at night,
a good opportunity, if atmospheric
conditions are favorable, will be at
forded for observing the shower, which
will probably last three or four hours.
From observations made in England
in the years 1872 and in 1885, it was
found that the number of falling
meteors that could be seen from any
one point of observation was about
equal to ten Thousand per hour The
meteors are small, their diameter not
apparently being greater than that of
star of the fourth or fifth magnitude
Their motion is slow and their trains
are faint. The meteorologists pre-.
dict stormy weather about the time
this shower should occur, but it is
hoped that there will be enough I'M
clouded sky during the time to give
Nat least an imperfect view of tbs
Shower.

win be a treat.

The Lebanon Times says: The
laughing comedy, presented at the
Academy by Frank M. Wills COM
pany; was full of surprises. The fun
ragged fast and furious, the characters
alternated in several sparkling scenes,
and the finale in each act received a
curtain call. Mr.. Wills is comedian
par excellence, and his versatility was
bewildering owing to the range of his
representations. The Sisters Helston
interpreted the characters assigned
them in truly artistic style, and Dolly
Helston brought down the house.
The play was well staged and cos
TUNED. This excellent company be-
gins an engagement of two nights

ATE NINE PILLS
A small child takes enough
poison to kill three men.

Seventeen months old Child of Mr..
and Mrs. Will McCann-Attention at
tracted by medicine box and when
it is pulled down the box breaks open
Poison falls out and the child eats
it-Heroic treatment taken to save
its Understandable escape from
death.
The little seventeen months old
child of Mr.. and Mrs. Will Mccain
is just out of the danger of death
from poison which it took on Thanks
giving Day. 1t ate nine pills con-
tanning arsenic opium and another
poison. The dose was enough to kill
two men and only the unremitting at
tention of DR.. Page Gibbons saved
the infants life.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mccain were away
from home leaving the children there
alone. Some pills were in medicine
box on the mantle This was of sew
eral colors and the child was fond of
playing with it. In trying to get it
down it fell and broke open. The
pill box came out and the baby began
to eat them unnoticed. Before it was
discovered it had made away with
nine of them and no one knew that
it had done this until nine o'clock
that night.
When the parents came home the
child was almost dead. 1t was hay-
ing commissions then. Mr.. Mccain
went after a doctor and had to go to
the reception at the University before
he could get one. DIR. Gibbons was
obtained.
He worked on the child until the
next morning and after brief inter
mission began again and worked un-
til three O'Clock in the afternoon be-
fore he pronounced it out of danger.
The dose of poison taken was
large enough to have killed two men
and the escape of the baby from death
in consequence is most remarkable
one. The family lives on Prospect
street near Spruce.

The HOUSE OF DELEGATES
Will Have a Democratic Major
ity of Seven.

And Possibly Of Eleven-The Legisia-
ture is Democratic on Joint Ballot
Even Giving The Republicans The
Ninth And Thirteenth Senatorial Dis
tricts And All Doubtful Delegates
At the Very Worst it Will be As Re-
publicans and 40 Democrats, AID at
The Best it viii be "A Republicans
and SO Democrats.
CHARLEsToNaW Va, November 26. 3
The news from Huntington to-day,
stating that the Democratic candi
dates for the Legislature, Bennett and
Taylor, had received their certificates,
was received here with rejoicing by the
Democrats, as it settles the question
of the Democrats being able TO organ
ize the lower House of the Legislature,
and the additions that may be made
to the Democratic list in the House Of
Delegates will have to do only with
the question of the extent of the Dem
ocratic majority.
The House of Delegates now stands
thirty-seven Democrats and thirty-tw
Republicans, with two in doubt, but
they will probably be Democrats.
Those now in doubt are: one from
Taylor county, where Dent, the Dem
ocrat, is found to be elected, but the
legality of his certificate is questioned
by the Republicans. 1t is believed
that Dents certificate will be found to
be valid one by the Courts: the other
nnrOOprnt who apponrc 70 bo a1ontnd
is Talbot, in the Lewis Webster dis
trict. If these two men are found to
be legally entitled to seats in the
House it will stand thirty nine Demo-
Gratis and thirty two Republicans, a
Democratic majority of seven.
Recounts are in progress in Kama
wha, Lewis and Randolph counties.
in the election Of one or more of the
Democrats. A dispatch from c. Wood
DALEY to Chairman Ohley, Of the
Democratic Committee, states that
there is not the least doubt about the
two Democratic members from the
Randolph Tucker districts getting
their certificates, so they are counted
in the certain Democratic list. The
election Of Crook, Democrat, from
Lewis Webster is conceded by the
Republicans, and there appears to be
no doubt that Talbert, Democrat, in
the same district, will be found to
have been elected.
From the most reliable information
at hand it seems there is but little
doubt that after all the recounts and
all the possible contests in the courts,
there will be at least thirty-nine Dem
ocrats and thirtytwo Republicans in
the House of Delegates, with the pos
sibility of one or more Democrats be-
| ing added to the list.

like glass. The music was furnished
by Mrs. Hartigan, Miss Olive Pierce
and Mr. Frankenberger, violins, Mr.
Davis, elarionet, Mr. Capito, cornet,
and Mr. jim Lazier, trops. This
orchestra makes speciality of dance

music was ever danced TO in Nor
gantown. The dance was given by
the students of the University and
was the initial number of a series.
Conspicuous among the watchers
were several members of the faculty
with their wives. The presence of
several charming visitors added
greatly to the occasion The ladies
were handsomely gowned while most
Of the men were in the conventional
black.
The dance started about 8 o'clock
ten numbers being danced when
most tempting refreshments were
served by Mine Host Lantz. After
this came ten more interpreted
with six or eight extras and when at
quarter of three the last bars of
Home Sweet Home drifted into space
one Of the most enjoyable dances
ever given was brought to close.

AFTER LAW BREAKERS.
Liberal reward offered for con-
viction of quail killers.

The Moaongalia Game Protective as
ISOLATION is out in card to the pub
llc-Farmers should take advantage
Of this-Conviction of a man means
a nice thing to the prosecuting wit
ness-Sh00ting Of quail must be
stopped entirely-A splendid move.
A number of the sportsmen of the
town and vicinity have banded them
selves together under the name of the
Monongalia Game Protective associa-
tion and they are determined to stop
the unlawful killing Of quail II a lib
eral reward will do the business.
1t Is generally believed about town
that some parties have been killing
quail and this paper in that belief
has asked the farmers TO keep sharp
watch for such violators and TO in
dict them. The offer of the assoeia-
tion given below will help in the
work
While the association is on the sub
ject however it would be we'll to offer
reward for the hogs who keep ferrets
and hunt rabbits with them. This
is against the law and is what has
made the rabbits scarce around here
several seasons recently. If the prae-
tice is kept up all the Dummies will be
exterminated.
The offer of the association is q
good one and the farmers who believe
that the quail should not be killed
contrary to law should take advan-
tage of it. Look out for the hunters
who have no regard for law or the
proprieties and indict them. This
win do something toward stopping the
killing of game when it is protected.
The statement offered by the club
is as follows;
The Monongalla County Game Pro-
tective Association calls attention TO
chapter SO of the Code of West Vir-
ginia as amended by an Act of the
Legislature OF West Virginia passed
February %, 1897, being Chapter 30
of the Acts of 1897, entitled IAN Act
for the Preservation of certain use
full animals and birds. Under this
law it is an ohense to kill any quail
or Virginia Partridge for the period Of
two years from February p, 1897
The penalty for violation is fine not
less than two nor more than twenty
five dollars, and Imprisonment at the
discretion of the court not exceeding
twenty days. One half of the fine
goes to the informer and the other
half to the officer making the arrest.
This association offers the following
additional rewards for information
that will secure the conviction Of any
offender against this law to be paid
by the undersigned whenever a SEN
tence of conviction shall have been
entered by any court or magistrate
having Jurisdiction in Monongalia
County, w. Va.
For each conviction $500.

Would not work on Sunday.

Two clergyman of Beaver county,
Pa, who were serving on jury and
were out balloting for verdict, re-
fused when Sunday arrived to engage
in any further consideration of the
case until the twenty-four hours of
the Lords day had passed. They
based their privilege to withdraw on
the statue of 1894, which forbids
worldly employment on Sunday.
Heretofore such attractions of the
law by juries have passed unchal-
lenged.
