Portrait swindlers.

A number of persons in nearby
state, expected to give Christmas
presents to their friends in the
shape of crayon portraits.
They had given orders for pictures
to two young men in the early part
of December. One price for the
work was $3.50 to be paid on deliv-
cry, but cash payment of $3.50
entitled the customer to receive a
picture when done. The saving OF
the dollar caused some to pay cash
and they now regret it, because they
have seen no picture, although
Christmas has passed.

A Distressing Accident.

Last Thursday afternoon Jacob
Grow, aged %, son Of George G. Grow,
deceased, and grandson OF ex-Treasur-
er Jacob Crow, was instantly killed
while at work. He was employed by
Van Lowe, the sawyer, and in turning
a log he placed the spike in the forks

ly turned the spike flew up and struck
the young man on the neck from

in the hope that it was but tempo

Clark had been in town and had
gone out home the night before he
was taken. He was working on his
house and had just brought in some
boards with which he was doing some
wainscoating v hen he fell without a
murmur. His wife who was standing
with her back TO him rushed to his
side but she could do nothing to help

Big OIL DEAL.
Forty thousand dollars worth of
oil property bought.

Courtney, MeDermott, and c. W.
Huston the purchasers-Deal had
been ON for some time-Suit had been
brought to enforce it-This has been
dismissed-Through whom the deal
was made.
A deal was closed by Courtney, Nc
Dermott and G. w. Huston yesterday
by which they become sole owners of
all the property OF the Alpha Oil COM
pany on Jakes Run in this county
which includes the farms Of Jos. Var
ner, with sixteen producing wells Asa
Tenant with seven wells and Asa
and ELIZA Tenant with one well.
The part OF production from these
wells which was purchased amounts to
one hundred barrels a day.
The Price paid was forty thousand
dollars and this is probably the largest
cash transaction ever made in the
county.
The deal was made through G. b.
Ollie attorney for the Alpha people
and Hon. Jos. Moreland and Hon
Geo. @. Sturgiss acting for the Nor
gantown people. The purchaser will
be given possession on February first
or as soon as the papers can be COM
pleted.
This deal has been on foot for some
time but few weeks ago it was con-
summated. The price was agreed upon
was forty thousand dollars. When
the Morgantown people had started
to turn over the money the Aiphas
kicked out of the traces and refused
to stand by the sale.
Suit was at once brought for fifty
thousand to enforce the contract and
this was pending when the sale was
finally made. The suitwas compromised
by the sale and there will be no furth-
er trouble between the contracting
parties.
The firm taking the purchase is
composed Of the most substantial and
conservative business mel in town
and they have the esteem and respect
of everyone.

the Wages Of "A Wife.

An Illustration In the advance
that has been made toward the
emancipation of woman is furnished
in a case decided by. the higher
courts of Indiana, involving the
wages received by woman from her
husband for clerking in his shoe
store 1t is of more value to woman
than dozen demonstrations in ia
vor of suffrage, which she doesn't
want, because it involves her right
to the wages she earns by her work,
even when her employer is her hus-
band.
In this case the wife worked for
81. so week ard saved her money,
which was investe in building as
ISOLATION stock. When the amount
had reached ST. 800 business fell off
and the husband was forced to Dor
row from his wife till all her savings
were gone; when he made an assign
rleni. He also owed her a years
wages, and her claim against the
assignee for $2,37s was resisted On
the ground that a husband could
not make "A valid contract to pay his
wife for her services The lower
court took this view of the case, but
not SO the appellate court. The
judge maintained that if the contract
between the woman and her bus.
band related to household service
then it could not be supported, be-
cause the law imposes ON her such
duties, and contract in relation
thereto would be against public pol
icy. Her household or marital du-
ties, the judge said, must be per-
formed without financial cOnsidera-
tion because OF tue reciprocal rela-
tions between husband and wife.
But this case is not of that charac-
ter The appellate court held, re-
versing the decision Of Tire circuit
court:
The wife was under no obligations
to leave her home and her surround
ings and spend years of her life
clerking in store for her husband,
yet she did this, under a contract
with her husband, which was to be
paid for it. The consideration was
sufficient to support the contract
The money which was
paid to appellant under contract
with her husband, which was reduced
to possession, and which she loaned
to him, is such an obligation, based
upon sound, equitable reasons, that
it will be enforced.

CHARLESTON, w. Va. Jan. 90
J. T. McGraw, the Democratic NOM
inee for Senator, last night made the
following statement:
'sNeither Mr.. Scott nor myself was
elected to-day under the forms of law
to the Senate. / received 46 votes In
the Joint Assembly. He received AS
and Judge Golf received one. This
gives Mr.. Scott a majority of one over
the combined vote of Judge Golf and
myself, but of the As votes received
by Mr.. Scott. two of them were the
votes of state Senators who forfeited
their votes by reasonsof the provisions
of section 10 of Article OF the State
Constitution In the Senate by the ae-
ceptance Of lucrative Offices under the
Federal government Commissions ia
the army Therefore, Mr.. Scott, In
reality and in law, received only 40
legal votes. The vote, therefore, for
him was 46, the vote for myself was
as and the vote for Judge Golf was
one, and in consequences there was nc
election.
SIN addition to this, the ballot in
joint Assembly was taken In the abb
sence of any and all representation
from the county of Taylor, and from
the Fourth Senatorial district, so that
the pretended election was had with.
out any representation from that Sen
atorial district and from one county
in the Legislature, and with the alb
sence of such representa- ion, the vote
received for Mr. Scott in the joint As
sembly was not a majority OF all Sen
ators and delegates TO which the var
ious counties of the State were enti-
tied under the Constitution thereof.
This question arose and was expressly
determined by the Court of Appeals
of Kentucky, and the Senate Of the
United States, in the Blackburn
Hunter case.
''Thc questions so raised by me are
not Of personal interest or advantake
but deem it my duty to see that they
are properly presented to the Senate
of the United States, upon the ques-
tion of Mr.. Scott's qualification there
in, not only In the name of the Dem
ocratic party, which has stood by me
so Loyalty in this contest, but like
wise in the name of the constitution
al government, which cannot even in
the hazard of personal disadvantage
be so ignored. l therefore feel it my
duty to see that these questions be
presented and protest be made to the
Senate of the United States"

WILL CONTEST.
McGraw says that he will fight
against SCOTS admission
to the senate.

Reasons given are that two war sena-
tors had no right TO yote-Two legal
Iy elected members were disquali-
fied-0wes it to the party to fight the
senator elect-yery little apparently
can be made by this-Statement made
to the Associated Press.
A contest will be inaugurated
against Nathan b. Scott taking his
seat as senator from this state The
reason for this step is that two mem
bers of the legislature were disfran-
chised and not allowed to vote. These
were Senator Kidd and Delegate Dent.
The United States Senate will be given
a chance to show how fairly it can
act when a contest is brought before
it,.
The additional reason is given that
two votes cast were illegal being those
of Senators Getzendanner and Pear
son. These two things have caused
Hon. John T. McGraw to take the
grounds that he should contest the
election.
This will be done because the Dem
ocrats have placed Mr.. McGraw in the
position of leader and he feels that
they look to him to protect their in
terests in every way possible. He
thinks that the senate will act in ac-
cordance with the law and the evidence
and that no matter what partisan
legislature may decide the Senate has

houses in town. Property in the

valuable than ever before in the
history of the town.
The same increase of population
and enterprise is also noticeable
throughout the country. A great
