ningham and g. S. McFadden, for
$l5, 900 for false arrest and imprison-
ment and in view of the circumstan-
ces surrounding the case, its trial,
when it comes, will no doubt attract
undivided attention throughout the
county. The case will likely mature
at the next term of the court.

LEFT TOWN HURRIEDLY.
His Friends are Unable to Give The
Reason,

Jake Linn, a well known oil oper-
ator, has mysteriously disappeared
and has left behind about $1400 of
unpaid depts.
Linn was interested in some oil
property in the Henderson pool, and
it was considered as being worth at
least $4,000. He sold it Saturday
for $l400 in cash and left the city
for parts unknown.
Behind him are number of notes
and unpaid bills that have caused
the holders to experience feelipgs of
having been feeced.
On the afternoon B. & O. train
two creditors lefS in search of him,
having in their possession protested
notes amounting to 5000.
Linn was a popular fellow here
and had friends by the score. His
friends cannot account for his
actions as his oil property would far
more than pay his liabilities
Parkersburg Sentinel
By some it is thought that this
is the man who was known in Nor.
gantown but if so he has changed a
great deal since he left this section.
We hope that in case it is that some
satisfactory explanation of the sud
den departure may be made.

In the space of few months there
have been removed from the ranks
of West Virginia journalists two men
of prominence that extended beyond
the borders of the state. Both used
pen and ink vigorously on opposite
sides in the thrilling times of the
civil war, and their papers were the
mouth pieces of the two great par
ties. One was Hon. A. w. Camp
bell, editor of the Wheeling 1ntelli-
gencer, followed to the great beyond
recently by Hon. Lewis Baker,
founder and editor of the Wheeling
Register, and until recently editor
of the Charleston Gazette.

From Fridays Daily.

University of Virginia again show
lose game on her home grounds
She defeated West Virginia by score
of eight to five. Just how unlucky
our team is can be seen from the fact
that three out of the five runs were
home runs made by Altman, Cooper
and Lewellen respectively. Had the
bases been partly full when these hits
were made we would have been win
ners.
But the bad luck that has followed
the team on the eastern trip was with
them and they lost the game. They
did rather better than they did the
day before and should have great
deal of praise for the showing made.
Virginia defeated Princeton nineteen
to four but they were only able to
whip our boys eight to five.
Printz was in the box and Shelby
caught. Print gave them twelve hits
but struck out seven men while the
Virginia man gave us eleven hits and
and only struck out four. However
neither side had their best pitcher in
and to-day the hot contest will be
waged.
The error column was not as large
on yesterday as it has been before.
We made four while the Virginia boys
made three So there was not much
choice in that direction. The tele-
gram giving the details of the game
blamed the defeat in great part on a
rotten umpire. This is the first time
that the claim has been set up and
there is undoubtedly something in it,.

A Dry Hole.

The number three on the Sarah f.
Eddy farm in this county has been
finished and it is dry hole. This is
the only well completed on this farm
that has not been fine producer and
it is a great surprise to the talent.
Eeryone expected it to be a fine well
as it seemed to be in very favorable
location. The other wells are holeing
up well and are doing just about what
they were expected to do when they
first went into the sand.

LICKED AGAIN.
Errors are Responsible for the
Loss of Princeton Game.

Dent Does Weii-Supporl is kOtten-
Errors are Piled up Instead Of
Runs-We 0utplay Princeton When
it Comes to Everything Else-Nine to
two However Is the Final Score
The fourth game of the series
played in the east resulted in a de-
feat at the hands of Princeton by a
score of nine to two. The score was
larger than was expected as many
Of our people thought that the Uni
versity had good chance OF win
ming.
From the accounts that have
reached here they did have good
show but the number of errors made
precluded this possibility. Eight of
these were to be charged up to the
West Virginians when the contest
was ended. Princeton did not have
any to their discredit.
Fewer hits were made of Dent
who pitched the game than off , the
Princeton pitcher. w. V. Z. earned
a run and Princeton did not earn
any. Everything else but the error
column showed our team to be bet
ter than the Princeton aggregation
but when eight of these were made
there was no chance to come out
with greater number of scores than
the Tigers
Anderson was hurt after the game
had gone on for sometime and had
to be removed from the contest How
badly hurt he was not found
out but it is not thought that it was
serious or we would have heard
something more definite in regard
to it,

During greater part Of the day a
rumor was alloat in town TO the effect
that Fairchance was burning up and
there was no hope In saving the town
from total destruction. Hundreds Of
of people telephoned TO that place tor
confirmation of the report, but the
glad news came back that the town
was still safe from the god of fire.
This rumor started last evening by
some parties who saw the reflection OF
the burning oil tank at Morgantown
and imagined IL was Fairchance.

SMALL POX SCARE.
Many Towns to the North of
Here are infected.
Few Precautions are Being taken to
Prevent the Spread Of the Disease
Well and Sick Mingle Together Re
gardless OF Danger-Authorities are
POwerIess.

GOMtTitSss
Small pox is prevailing to an alarm.
ing extent in the towns to the north
of here on the B. & O. 1t has broken
out in number Of small towns about
Pittsburg and is prevailing 10 many
others very much closer TO Morgan
town. The people are in most cases
Indifferent and they are allowing the
disease to spread without any very
serious attempt to check it.
They have paid no attention to the
disease and the well and sick mingle
with great freedom. This has spread
the malady until hundreds of cases
have developed. This disease does
not seem to be very deadly but it GER
tainly is of d character to make this
kind OF thing dangerous.
Layton especially is infected. Trains
have not been stopping there for a
week or more and the town is cut of
from the world. However the inhabi-
tants are going around, the sick with
the well and everyone is likely to have
the disease before the attack Is over.
Morgantown may not have an at
tack Of the malady but the attention
of the authorities is called to the con-
dition of affairs which exists at such
a comparatively short distance down
the railroad aud they are likely to
see to it that no infection is brought
here by people from the places where
the disease is flourishlng.
A special from Uniontown tells of
the conditions in that county in the
infected district and the powerless
condition of the authorities to check
the spread of the disease:
The smallpox scare at Layton sta
tion on the B. Sc o. is. becoming
alarming. State officers are now en-
ergetically at work and are making
strenuous efforts to stamp out the
dreaded disease. There are now So
cases at that place. Two new ones
developed on Saturday and it looks as
though the whole population will
come under the ban of the scourge.
Unless the state or county does some
thing there will be an alarming
spread of the disease.
DR.. T. H. White of Connellsville,
local representative of the state board
of health, was down there Saturday
and took in the situation. He COM
municated with the county commits
sioners on Saturday by telephone to
know if they would take some action
in the matter of paying for the hire
of proper parties to take charge of the
afflicted at Layton sud try to prevent
the spread of the disease. The COM
missioners saw nothing in all the acts
of Pennsylvania giving them author
ity to take such steps. Ali the acts
relative to epidemics apply especially
to cities and boroughs and do not bear
on the Isolated places, or country dis
tricts. Judge Reppert's attention was
called to the matter who instructed
the commissioners to grant the health
officers request and agree to pay for
the hire of such persons.

BADLY HURT.
{. W. Sample Nearly has His Neck
Broken by Runaway Wheel Near
The Red Bridge.

The ked Bridge.
G. w. Sample who lives on the
West Side back of Laurel Point was
nearly killed by bicycle few days
ago. He was found unconscious in
the road joining the Fairmont pike
near the Red Bridge. Mr.. Will Hess
who lives near Samples home found
him.
Mr. Hess first saw broken wheel
and looking down over the bank he
saw some one doubled up in the fence
corner. Investigation showed it to be
Sample and he was unconscious. He
was removed to a neighboring house
and had to be worked on for some
time before he recovered his senses.
1t is not yet known whether or not
he is injured internally. The wheel
had gotten beyond his control and
striking a root in the road had thrown
him a great distance. 1t was thirty
five feet from where the root was
struck to the place where he was ly-
ing when discovered.
Sample was member of the senior
class at the University and has al
ways stood high in his classes.

IVY PLANTED.
Nature is now Free to Hide the Ugli-
ness of commencement lIaIi-Tweniy
are Set Out.

Twenty American ivy vines have
arrived and been set out at Commence.
ment Hall at the University. The
intention is to dover the unsightly
pile Of brick and make beautiful
building of it. The vines are very
quick growers and in three years they
are expected to have the building
buried in a mass of green beauty.
The vines are much thicker set than
usual because very thick and com
pact growth is wanted.
They were set out under the dircc-
tion OF Prof. Johnston who is super
intendent Of Buildings and Grounds.
The disadvantage encountered in other
larger and coarser vines of affording d
nesting place for sparrows is avoided
in this variety since is is so fine that
no place is made for the birds to
nest.

WILL MEET HERE.
Baptists of the State will Come
Together in Morgantown

Has Not Been Officially Announced as
Fet-The Meeting is to be Held in
the Early FaIl-First time they have
Been Here:For Fifteen Years-This
Makes Two State Gatherings to be
Here this Year.
The people who have charge of the
time and place for the next meeting
of the State Baptist Association
have decided on Morgantown and
sometime in October or earlier in the
fall The decision has not been of
ficially made but it has been told to
the people here.and the meetis..; will
come.
1t is very seldomthat two meetings
in succession are held in the same
section of the state The last one
was held in Grafton but the needs
OF the church make it all right this
time. The congregation here has
just gone into their new church and
il will do both them and the state
organization good for it to meet
here.
Several hundred visitors will come
from all sections of the state and the
meeting will bea large one. The church
is one of the most important in the
state and ranks well up toward the
head in the number of churches and
members on their rolls.
The town will be glad to have
them come and will do all that they
can to see that they have nice time
while here. The meeting of the
Methodist conference was much en-
joyed by everyone and that of the
Baptists will not be second in inter-
est.
This and the meeting of the Jr.
o. U. A. Nj. are the only state meets
scheduled for Morgantown this year.
Both of these will take place in the
fall when all conditions are at their
best for the handling of such meet
ings.
The decision of the authorities ia
regard to the holding of the meet
ing will be announced within few
days.
