OUT OF SPITE.
Fire at Hundred The Result of
Desire For Revenge.

Family Burned out of House and Home
Rev. Jones Property Destroyed
Intense Feeling Against the Sound
rel who Will be Severely Dealt With
if Caught-A Shocking State of af-
fairs.
The following in reference to the
fire at Hundred which destroyed not
only the property of the family living
in the house but all of that belonging
to Rev. S. E. Jones of this place, is
taken from the Parkersburg News:
At Hundred, W. Va, small town
about SO miles out Che b. s. O. rail-
way, fire, which is thought to have
been Of incendiary origin, destroyed
the M. e. parsonage, which was cccu-
pied at the time by police officer W.
L. Taught. Haught's household
goods were entirely destroyed and the
family escaped by the merest accident,
having nothing about them but their
night clothing Mrs. Taught was
slightly burned and a few hours after
the fire gave birth to a daughter,
The loss is not yet known.
The Haught's were awakened from
a sound slumber by the fire, which
appeared to envelope the entire build
ing at once. The father succeeded in
saving his wife and children, but
neighbors who We're attracted to the
scene could do nothing to save the
household effects of the family. They
were taken in by friends.
1t is thought that the house was
set afire by persons who thus hoped to
satisfy grudge they held against Of
ficer Taught, who may have offended
them in some manner. The fire oc-
curing at the dead Of night, when the
weather was at its coolest gave the
unfortunate family additional trouble
and suffering. The people of Hun
dred were thoroughly worked up over
the case, and If the culprits are cap
tured they will be severely dealt with.
1t is to be hoped in case that the
fire was started out OF spite that the
guilty parties will be caught and
justice done them.

MURDER CHARGED.
Karl Norcoss believed to have poisoned
his little brother.

UNIoNTowN, Pa, Feb. 16-Karl
Norcoss, well known and well-to-do
young man OF this place, is in Jail on
a charge of endeavoring to secure the
murder of his little brother, Allen
aged 10 years. A few hours after his
arrest, Norcoss swallowed poison and
he is still unconscious. Very little
hopes of his recovery are entertained.
Norcross and his brother inherited
fortune of $25, 900 and large part of
the formers share, it is said, has been
dissipated. The arrest was made up
on the confession of John Devlin and
Sylvester Hetterman, who alleged
that they were hired by Norcross to
give poisoned candy to the boy.

MASCOT MISSING.
Willie Findley, OF the First, may have

Willie Findley, who left here with
the First West Virginia regiment is
missing. Willie was the mascot of
the regiment and he remained with
the boys in camp until they were mus
tered out. He concluded that he
would stop off at Coal Grove, Law
erence county, Ohio, on a visit to
friends before returning here.
This morning word reached here
that he had been murdered near Coal
Grove and his friends as well as all
the boys of the old First are much in
terested. kilograms have been sent
for particulars, but at two o'clock no
answer had been received. Many be-
lieve that the rumor is false, and all
hope that it is. Huntington Herald

THEY ARE HERE.
Committee From The LegisIa-
ture is in Town to
Investigate.

They Will Take Good Square Look nj
Every Thing About The University
Reception to be Given 1t Their
Honor Tonight of The
Members Are Well Known Here--The
Founder of The Experiment Station
Among The Number-They Will be
Well Treated While With Us.
The legislative committee appointed
to visit the University came in two
delegations and are now getting rest
ed UP from the trip preparatory To
taking in everything about the town
and the University. They left
Charleston on Wednesday morning
and have had a very tiresome trip.
DIR. Raymond who has been In
Charleston for some time accompanied
the two who came in this morning.
They were Senator Pierson and Dele
gate Millender. Senator Pierson Is
one OF the two celebrated swar sena-
tors" about whom there has been SO
much discussion all over the state In
the past few months. However he IL
still member OF the legislature and
will remain so as long as the Senate
stands as it does now.
The other three members arrived In
the afternoon. They were Senator
Dotson of Wood county and Delegates
Oldfleld of Mcdowell and Bennett of
Cabell. Major Bennett was formerly
a member of the board of regents OF
the University and 1t is due to his
efforts more than to any other one
man that the Experiment Station was
established here. Many Morgantown
people know him and they will take
pains to make his stay as pleasant as
possible while he is here.
Mr.. Oldfleld is a college man and
one OF the leaders Of his party in the
state He would have beer the leader
on the floor during the present session
but others were more greedy and he
was left in the scramble. He is
newspaper man and a very public
spirited citizen.
All the members of the inyestiga-
ting committee are above the average
of the members OF the legislature and
since the present state law making as
sembly is composed OF the finest set of
men that have been sent to Charleston
for some time it will be seen that the
visitors are very influential and prom
inent people.
They will be entertained at DR.. and
Mrs. Raymonds tonight and they will
then meet the members Of the faculty
They will remain here for several days
but it cannot be told just how long
they will be here. They will fully
satisfy themselves about the institu-
tion before they leave and every facil-
fty will be given them in order to
have them understand what is being
done here by the University and those
in charge.

ELECTRIC ROAD PROJECTS
-Four Applicants for Street Railway
Franchise in Wellsburg
TO CONNECT THAT CITY WITH
LAZEARvILLE = LOCAL CAPI-
TALISTS ARE BEHIND TWO OF
THE COMPANIES, AND WELLS
BURG BUSINESS MEN BEHIND
THE OTHERS-ANOTHER ELEC-
TRIO LINE PROJECIED.

Local capitalists who have money seek
ing remunerative investment, appear to
regard street railway franchises as prop
critics which are gilt edged. At any rate,
there have been a number of street rail-
way projects talked of during the past
few weeks One of these is plan to con-
meet Wheeling with city not more than
twenty-five miles distant. The road
would pass through a rich and thickly
populated country and would divert from
one or two other cities trade which
should naturally be tributary to Wheeling
because OF the proximity of the town re-
ferred TO. Between the termini of the
road there are a number of industrial
settlements, and all the shopping from
these communities would come to Wheel
been taken in the matter as yet. ana no
further details of the scheme can be di-
vuiged for the present, because of the
fact that the projectors might be en-
barrassed in their plans thereby.
For long time there has been talk of
street railway to connect Welsburg
and Lazearville, the two industrial towns
in Brooke county, the constant travel of
towns being regarded as certain indi-
cation that such adventure would be prof
liable. The matter assumed definite
shape at a meeting of the Wellsburg coun-
ell last Wednesday night. when there was
not only one. but four applications for a
franchise. The companies were all rep
resented by their attorneys, and there
was an interesting argument while the
or
be brought UP again next Tuesday night.
when the council will grant a franchise.
in all probability, to one of the applicants.
The projected road, from the lower end
of Wellsburg to the upper end of Lazear-
vile, would be two miles in length. The
four applicants were the Peoples Rail-
way company, of this city, the same
company that has an application in the
local council for franchise, and of
which Mr.. Henry Schmufbach is presi-
cent; the Wheeling, Welisburg & Lazear-
V'ile Railway Company, IN which all the
STOCK Is held by Wheeling capitalists; a
Welisburg company, headed by James
Paull and others, and Mr.. Wylie Beall of
Welsburg, and Chas OFT, of this CITY.
VINO applied as partners. The applicants
were represented in the order mentioned
py A. G. Fickerson, John A. Howard and
j. c Palmer
The company for whom Mr.. Howard
appeared, proposes eventually to connect
the Brooke county metropolis with
heeling. The route has been carefully
considered, and it has been rouno prac-
ucable to construct the entire line east
OF the present Pan Handle railway tracks,
thus obviating the necessity for crossing
the tracks.
