CONSTABLE DAUyLL DEAD.
Man Who Visited Morgantown after
Fighting Tom Cooper dies suddenly

Jacob Duvall, Of Pittsburg, died a
day or so ago of hemorrhage. He
was taken on a street car and died
before he could be removed to any
place for treatment.
Duvall was one of the most noted
of the officers of Pittsburg being one
of the constables He had a great
reputation among the law breakers
of that section. This he gained by
his record for fcarlessness He was
in former years mail carrier in the
far west and had one of the most
dangerous routes in the country.
A couple OF years ago he added to
his reputation in Pittsburg By the
capture of Fighting Tom Cooper in
the woods near here However it
was the general impression that any
one could have arrested Cooper had
they had the chance to face him.
The Pittsburg papers are full of
the exploits Of the constable who
was pretty sandy for the denizens of
that place.

entered upon the part of the Demo-
Gratis with the full knowledge that it
would deprive them of the chance Of
electing a United States senator by a
strict party vote; that the Republican

officers and Others threatened the
Democrats with violence If they
did not accede to the demands made
by the Republicans in admitting Re-
publican claimants To seats, whose
names had been placed on the rolls by
the Secretary of State, but who did

here was postponed till August 3, in

The attorneys for McGraw express
themselves well satisfied with the
character of the testimony taken and
believe it will be amply sufficient to
prevent the seating Of n. B. Scott.

A TMO.headed Babe.

Mr.. and Mrs. Simms Hall, residents
of Teays, near Winfield, this State,
are the parents of child that is a
peculiar freak of nature The girl
babe was born on Friday last. 1t has
two heads of about equal size, the
normal head possessing no deformi-
ties, but has rather handsome face
and apparently bright look for a child.
The abnormal head is about the size
of the natural one but it has neither
eyes, mouth nor ears. However by
touching the head small cartilages
can be felt where the ears should be.
The child seems to be in the best of
health and does not suffer from the
second head.

PECULIAR EXPERIENCE.
Fever Patient Runs Out and Jumps into
Stream Nearby-NOne the worse
for II.

Mrs. John Reiner, OF Easton, has
the fever and has been very i'll being
delirious from the effects of the NAL
ady. On Thursday while she was
sleeping her mother and motherin-
law who were with her left the room
for a few moments. While they were
gone Mrs. Reiner arose and ran out
of the house.
She ran to creek nearby and
plunged headlong into the cool wa
tiers. The shock brought her to her
senses and she then realized what
she had done. Several men happened
to be passing and they assisted her
to the house and she was put to bed
again. The reports from her to-day
are that she is none the worse for
the experience.

JOHN ROBINS0N's SHOW.
A Georgeous, Sumptuous. and In
pressiye Augmentation.

To speak of the merits of John
Robinson's Great Worlds Exposition
is merely cloves labor lost" with the
people of this nation. There is not
an amusement lover on the continent
that is not fully cognizant of the fact
that it is now and has ever been the
best among the best. Everybody does
not know however that during its
lass winters vacation the show has
received an augmentation so vast and
important az to dwarf by comparison
even its own great exhibitional ex-
cellence. We allude to the grand,
gorgeous and sublime biblical specta-
Gle of solomon, his temple and the
Queen of Sheba," in which innumer-
able people are active participants,
and which is replete in grand sceno-
graphic effect typical reproductions Of
biblical personages and events, pro-
life in pageantic and professional
features, lavish in enhancing ballets
and terpsichorean advertisements,
and rich in trappings and appoint
ments, requiring for its production,
the largest stage ever constructed ard
conspicuously portraying sacred events
scenes and incidents such as the Judg-
ment Of Solomon, Arrival Of the
Queen Of Sheba. the City of David,
the Palace and Temple, Court of King
Solomon's Temple, the Walls and
Towers of Jerusalem, Solomon's 700
Wives, the Sacred Ark of the Cove
nant, the Ivory Throne, Procession Of
War Cbariots, Slaves Bearing Incense,
lovely Cresset Dancing Girls, martial
and courtly Parades and exciting
Chariot Races. This eminently moral,
Historical and underwriting specta-
Gle will commend itself to every lover
of the sacred and beautiful.
The Robinson Exposition, with its
sublime specta cular accession, is to
exhibit in Morgantown, Wednesday

TIRE GOVERNOR ACrs.
la the Asylum Matter-0rders an In
yestigation.

WESTON, w. Va, July IS. Unable
to resist the storm OF public demand,
the governor has requested the Board
of Directors to assemble at an early
day for the purpose of investigating
the charges that have been made
against the administration Of the
asylum by the present superintend-
ent.
The wording of the letter indicates
that the governor will be very much
gratified should the board so inyesti-
gate the affair as to find the superin-
tendent an innocent and much abus-
ed man.
Until the board meets and deter
mines upon its course of procedure,
it cannot be told whether the iDvesti-
cation will be private or public,
whether it will be partial or Impair
tial, and whether 1t will be complete
or merely skim the surface.
The governor is very insistent that
the fullest protection shall be accord
ed the superintendent.

RAILROAD MATTERS.
New Road from Brownsville TO
Wheeling Assured.
rhe Extension Of the Road up the West
Side and Its Present Status-We are
More Interested In That Than in the
other What is Said about 1t ia the
IuteIljgeucer.


Other What is Said about 1t Ia the
IDtelligeneer.
The extension of the railroad from
Brownsville TO this place while anx
iously awaited does not seem to be
cutting much ice these warm DAYS.
The people who are back of the plan
are certain that it will come but
what we want to know is when it
will get here so that we won't be too
greatly surprised when we see it.
However there is another railroad
to be built from that place that is
taking up large share Of their at
tention and that is one from Browns
vile to Wheeling through one of
the richest mineral sections of Penn
sylvania. This road is expected to
be begun before very long as it has
very strong backing to help it along.
The Wheeling Intelligencer of a
recent date had an extended article
on this road and it seemed to think
that the extension would be made
in the very near future. In the
same article reference was made to
the one in which this place was so
vitally interested. The reference
was as follows:
Since the trouble arose over the
right of way for the extension of the
Pittsburg, Virginia d Charleston
from Brownsville nothing further
has been done with the work. 1t is
expected that work will be resumed
soon and the route to be followed is
up the west side of the Monongahe-
la river to Millsboro, where the road
win cross to the Fayette county side
and run to the mouth of the Dun
kirk creek, recrossing to the Wash
ington side Meantime there are
prospects that branch will be
built up Dunlap creek to West Sa
lem to tap the coal fields there. OPP
tions have been taken ON several
properties, according to report from
Brownsville, to run thirty days, and
it is thought that they will be &C
cepted and the road built.
We hope that this view of the
case is correct but it is certain that
when a company gets thoroughly
in earnest about extending route
they do not stand back very long
because they have had trouble with
some of the parties who own rights
of way. If they want to bring the
extension up there they will attend
to that part of it even if there are
people who want to obstruct them
and give them trouble. And we
think that they want to get here.

No Doubt about the Influence of Adj
yprtising.

The old dictionary makers-and
some later ones for that matter
seem never to have agreed as to the
proper pronunciation Of the word sad
versement." Some commended that
the accent should be placed on the
second syllable, others that the third
was the place for it. Learned argu-
ments have been advanced to prove
the correctness of each method of pro-
nunciation with the vehemence usual
ly displayed by the disputants each Of
whom is convinced that he is right.
But, after all the contentious, both
pronunciations are still in use. Hhere
is however no longer any difference of
opinion among progressive merchants
us to the power of an advertisement,
when printed in newspaper which is
popular among the people, to bring
customers and profits to the adver-
tiser.
