ARMED TRAMPS In JAIL.
Assault on a Woman Nearly
Leads to a Lynching in
Fayette County.
Eighteen Desperate Men Caught For
Weeks they have Been Robbing
Stores in Connelisyille and Dawson
Found Laden With Plumber.

UNIoNTowN, Jan. 22.-Great ex-
citement prevailed here and at Oliver
to-day over an assault on Mrs. John
Sherbaugh, Slav woman, this morn
ing at Oliver by four tramps, who
when arrested gave their names at
Jack White, James II. Stevenson,
William Johnson and Edward Worth.
The first three were eolored and John
son is white boy.
All the men had gone to work and
Mrs. Sherbaugh was alone in the
house when the fiends entered her
home, about o'clock this morning.
They were armed and began shoot
ing as soon as they came in, TO terrify
the woman. Their noise attracted
a crowd of women and children, and
they fled, firing at everybody who
came in their way.
Officers Were telephoned for and
left here at once, some going to Dun
bar to head them off, while second
posse followed them. The men were
overtaken at Youngstown, where they
took refuge in an empty coke oven.
When the officers went 60 the mouth
of the oven one of the colored men
thrust revolver into their faces,
but seeing the force surrounding
thea did not fire. This probably
saved their lives, for had a shot been
fred they would have been ridd1ed
with bullets.
They were handcutfed together and
brought here to jail. A big crowd
surrounded them here, and had there
not been dozen determined officers
in charge lynching would have fol-
lowed. Eight reyolvers were taken
from them, and it Is thought they
were stolen from John d. Frisbee's
store in Connellsyille, which was rob-
bed few nights since.
A posse of officers, with IA other
prisoners, reached the Jail at o'clock
tonight from Oliver. These men
are part of the gang TO which the
four men first arrested belonged.
The officers waited until the excite
ment over to-day's crime had subsid-
d and the tramps had sneaked back
to the coke plant. The last gang
was found in two coke ovens, and
when selrched razors, knives, reyol-
vefs and burglars tools were found.
They are believed to be the gang
that has been robbing about Connells-
vile and Dawson for several weeks.

AARON CARLOW
Elected President of the Second
National Bank.

A Change in Policy will be Inaugurated
ID. c. Hoffman will Remain Cashier
and w. L. Arnett reller-First meet
ing Of New Board.
From Wednesdays Daily.
The first meeting of the directors
of the Second National Bank was
held to day. There was full turn
out of the board and Aaron Carlow
was elected president, d. c. Hof
man, cashier, and William E. Ar
nett was retained in his old position
with an advance in his salary. No
better selections could have been
made by the directors. Dr. Morris,
who has been on the board so many
years and who has been its vice
president declined to be candidate
for president, and still holds the
same position which he has held so
long with such = splendid record as
a financier.
Mr. Carlow, the newly elected
President is son of the late John
Carlow, of the west side of the river
who died several years ago leaving
large estate to his children and his
son who inherited the business quail
fications of his father has made a
record for himself as one of the most
careful and astute business men in
the county, and ON his wife's side
he also represents large amount
of wealth and influence, his father
in-law being the late John w. Cor
rothers, who owned about one-fourth
of the stock in this banking institu-
ton and who was one of the wealth
lest men Of the county.
Mr.. Carlow, we predict, will make
a great success of the Bank which has
now been in existence for over one
third of century and it has become
one of the fixtures and permanent in
situations of our state, growing
stronger as it increased in years.
The directors of the bank repre-
sent in actual money over a half a
million OF wealth as any one knowing
the directors can testify, and they are
as follows: A. j. Carlow, George B.
Morris, w. p. Barker, Sanford Bar
hickman, d. L. Donley, j. A. Thomp-
son, Irwin Vandervort, Silas w. Hare,
and w. G. McGrew. And no more
safe or conservative men could be en-
trusted with banking institution.
Morgantown should be congratulated
on having three of the safest and
strongest banks of the state.

!. emarkable Cure of Rheumatism at
Kenna. JaSkSOn County

About three years ago my wife had
an attack of rheumatism which con-
fined her to her bed and rendered her
unable to walk, her limbs being swollen
to about double their normal size.
Mr.. l.. Maddox recommended Cham

night, binding her limbs with flannel.

Promise Of A Mild Winter.

Thus far we have experienced only
one real cold wave and that was not
remarkable one. We are now in
the very heart of winter, in the midst
of warm airs, and the grass on the
lawns and III the fields is green.
We have had little familiarity with
snow and ice. While IL is always
rash to make predictions about the
weather, and while even the weather
men, with the benefit OF all their OBJ
servations, frequently miss il when
they only make prophecy for "a
hours in advance, still, according to
precedents drawn from former exper-
fence, we are warranted in the belief
that the winter is going to let us off
easy. If the cold does not get a good
grip prior TO this time in January, 1t
is seldom able to catch on. Last
winter was similar to what this one
promises TO be. II gave us few real
ly cold waves and those were not OF
long duration.
The absence of long periods OF ex-
IRENE cold means a great deal. 1t
results in great saving of fuel; 1t
takes less to feed people, since ex-
tremes of temperature always prey
upon the weak among us, while mod
Grafton prolongs.e|ife. There are
many who, being robust physically,
well fed, well housed and we'll cloth
ed, would well come the coolest
weather, but the average person Is
content with the absence OF biting
blasts and long periods when every
thing freezes that is exposed to the
outside air. Mud and slush may be
uninviting, but they are preferable
to ice pavements, frozen pipes and
the necessity OF withstanding the
shock Of a freezing temperature every
every time we go out. For the pres
ent promise of the season, therefore
may have every reason TO be thankful.

WHAT 1T COST.
The Expense of the State in the Eas.
than Case.

The State auditor has paid the
costs in the celebrated case of the
State against r. w. Eastman, which
was recently tried in Tucker county.
Eastman was indicted for murder.
His trial attracted wide attention be-
cause of the number and the prom
inence of the attorneys on both sides,
and the hard fight they all made.
Eastman was convicted of man
slaughter and sentenced to two years
in Jail. The costs in the case will
be a revelation to many persons who
have no idea of the vast amount the
State is compelled to pay as costs "A
criminal cases. The stenographer
was allowed 1926, the sheriff $40S. 25,
the jury cost 1888, witness fees were
$S44.30 a constable got $40, and the
cost of evidence before justice was
s.. One witness, not included in
the amount given above, travelled L.
100 miles in going to and returning
from court and was paid $l1. The
total costs took up 50, 1860.

Opinion by English, Pres.

Opinion by English, Pres.
l In a case where the evidence is
entirely circumstantial it is error in
the court to instruct the jury that
circumstantial evidence is often more
reliable than the direct testimony of
eye witnesses, and that a verdict Of
guilty in such cases may rest on a
surer basis than when rendered upon
the testimony of eye witnesses where
memory must be relied upon, and
where passions and prejudices may
have influenced them, for the reason
that it Institutes comparison be-
tween the two kinds of evidence men
toned, and instrncts the jury as to
the comparative weight of cireum-
stantial evidence,
2 1t is error in the court to in
struct the jury that if they were Of
the opinion that any witness had
wilfully and corruptly testified 70
what wits false they were at liberty
to reject all of his testimony thai
was not corroborated by other testimo-
ny, FOR the reason that said instruc-
tion was calculated to mislead the
jury and was equivalent to telling
them that where a witness had sworn
falsely in one thing the remainder Of
his Testimony should have no weight
with t., I'm unless corroborated, when
they hai a right tu believe any portion
Of the testimony whether corroborated
or not, and the instruction inyades
the province of the jury. Thompson's
case, 81 w. Va, 741.
3 The opinions of witnesses should
neger be received in evidence If all
the facts can be ascertained and
made Ineligible to the jury or If
they are such as men in general are
capable of comprehending and under
standing.
A The general rule is that witness
i,s must testify to facts aud not to
opinions: they must only state facts,
not draw conclusions or differences: to
10 so is to invade the province of the
Jury.
5 The object Of all questions TO
experts should be to obtain their opin-
ion as to matters of skill or science
which are in controversy, and at the
same time to exclude their opinions
al; to the effect Of the evidence in es-
Publishing controverted facts.
6 Although an expert may have
heard all the testimony in the case
he cannot be asked to give his opinion
ba'ed merely upon his having heard
such testimony in the case, whenever
there is conflict therein, unless the
same is alphabetically propounded to
him,
I An expert cannot be asked to give
is-opini1n on doubtful facts in the
case on trial, which remain to be found
by TIM jury, but similar case may
be alphabetically put to him based
upon Che evidence in such case.
8 Where the inquiry relates to
subject which does not require pecul-
lar habits of study in order to enable
a man to understand it, the opinion
of skilled or scientific witnesses is not
admissible.
9 Where Illegal evidence is admit
ted against the objection of a party
it will be presumed that it prejudiced
such party, and if it may have preju-
diced him, though it be doubtful
whether it did or not, it will be
cause for the reversal of the judg-
ment, but if it clearly appear that
it could not have changed the result
if it had been excluded, it will not be
cause Of reversing the judgment.
