~The championship season of 1899

of the busiest for the hitters," says
President Young. "Delehanty's av-
erage almost beggars belief, and /
doubt if it will be equalled or exccllea
ia many year to come. Four bats
men-Delehanty, Burkett, McGraw
and Hickman-haye surpassed kee-
ler's percentage of last season. The
lively performances at the bat by
the major league players this year
was unexpected, in view of the com
paratively weak showing of the hit
tiers Of last season in the 800 class.

SMALL BLAZE.
P. Pickenpaugh's Store gets Sc0rch-
ing this Morning Nasty Fire
Narrowly AYerted.

This morning at $50 fire alarm
was turned in and the blaze was
found to be in I. Pickenpaugh's
store on Walnut street. The fire
was gotten under control by the
bucket brigade before the hose men
arrived and it was not necessary to
turn on the hose after it was attach
ed. The fire originated from pile
of lumber that had been piled in the
second story directly, over heater
pipe. This had set the lumber on
fire and before the fire was found it
had blazed up to considerable dis
lance. The flames were reaching to
the ceiling when the people came
with the water.
The repairs in the second story
of the building had uecessitated the
storing of lumber in that part of the
store and it was from one of these
piles that the fire came.
The loss is slight and came for
the greater part from the water that
vas thrown on the blaze. Had the
ire been undiscovered for few min
ties longer it would have made q
very nasty one to subdue.

Death Of Mr.. william Simpson.

William Simpson, born
April 21st 1926; Died Nov. 18th
1899. The deceased was born at Cass
vile, w. Va, April 21st, 1926, and
for some forty three years resided at
the place of his birth. Thirty years
ago Mr.. Simpson took up his residence
In what is now Greenmont, and has
made this his home ever since. As a
carpenter his manhood days were
SPENT nor did the bread Of idleness
rest upon his table, but by faithful
honest work he supplied the wants Of
those dependent upon him. Friends
of long years standing speak kindly
words of him, as Of man whom they
could trust, and his home, over which
the death angel had lowered five times
before, each time removing one, is
now left to mourn the departure of
the one who has stood, as its head for
many years; the husband and father
is no more. Mr.. Simpson was of a
robust type Of manhood and weather
ed the storms of life for almost three
score and ten years, but this human
frame is not made to last for all time,
nor did his. Nearly four years ago he
suffered stroke of paralysis, and has
not since then recovered his former
health. That was the warning that
the end was approaching. 1t may
have seemed slow Ia coming, but none
the less sure. For several months he
has been confined to his chair, in a
belnlpss condition. Fifteen minutes

Popular Suggestion.

A close friend OF the Hon. Owen
S. Mckinney, of Fairmont is author
ity for the assertion that Mr.. Nc
Kinney will be candidate for the
democratic gubernatorial nomina
ton. He says that the genial ex-
speaker has decided to enter the
race though he will not make any
formal announcement for while.
Mr.. Mckinney is very popular
man in his section and in fact
throughout the state. As-editor OF
the Fairmont Index he has exerted
great influence in democratic coun-
ellis and his nomination would be a
popular one.-Wheeling News.

repeated at about this date in Novem-

quite equal, if not superior, to any OF
the tri-century displays with which

soME POLITICS.
Senator Fast given q send on By Par
kersburg Sentinel-Freer talked
Ah0uf

1t is now definitely understood
that Judge Freer viii be before the
republican state convention as an
anti-machine candidate for Govern
or, says the Fairmont Index The
gauge of battle will be thrown
down to Senator Elkins, and the
success of Judge Freer will mean
that some other republican than the
willy statesman from Randolph will
be the next United States senator
from West Virginia. If the anti
machine republicans are strong
enough to beat Elkins' man, White,
in the convention for governor, they
will control a number of members
of the legislature and Elkins will
have to permit another to be named
for senator in his place or there will
be no election. Then under the pre-.
cedent which will be established ip
the Quay case by the senate, Gov
ernor Atkinson in the closing days
of his administration will find
himself empowered to appoint sen
ator. In such event the appointee
will probably not be Elkins.
The Morgantowr, Post in limi-
ted non committa1 way says that
Col. r. Z. Fast is candidate for The
republican nomination for governor.
remarks the Parkersburg Sentinel,
Among those mentioned for that Of
flee there is no one on his side of the
political fence that is more deserv.
ing than Col. Fast. Besides, during
his two terms as state senator Col,
Fast was steadfast friend of the
newspapers at all times and under
all circumstances. His efforts in
opposition destroyed more than one
measure that was inimical to the
interests OF the state; and on the
other hand he is entitled to all the
credit for passing through the sen
ate two measures that are of great
help to the newspapers. In a strictly
political sense Col. Fast is about
nine eighths republican, but in mat
tiers affecting the general interest of
the people and the welfare OF the
state he never permitted his politi-
cal affiliations to interfere with his
idea of right. He would make
clean Embossed governor.
