SOME CANDIDATES.
Morgantown Will Furnish Sew

State Tickets Will Look Familiar
Four Men Spoken Of on the Two
Leading Tickets-Three For Super
intendent and One for Governor
Fast, Miller, Armstrong and Swisher
the Men.
Politics will be even more interest
ing to the people of Morgantown dur
the next campaign than the subject
generally is. This will be because of
the large number of candidates from
this place that are likely TO come before
the different conventions. No less
than four Morgantown men are being
talked of for places on either of the
two leading tickets.
Two of these are for places on the
democratic and two on the republican.
The former are Prof. Robert A. Arm
strong and Howard L. Swisher. Each
of these gentlemen would like to be
superintendent Of Free Schools. The
latter has not announced himself def
nitely but he has been asked by a
great many friends to take the field
He was a candidate in '96 but entered
the race too late to get the nominal
tion.
He is Professor OF English at the
University and is an educator of years
of experience and is known all over
the state. Mr.. Swisher is proprietor
of the Acme Book store and has been
engaged for several years in teaching
In this state and California. He has
been solicited by hundreds Of people
from all over the state to stand fol-
the Office and he has announced him.
self for the place. He will make a
strong active canvass and will make
the rest of them know that he has
been in the fight
On the other side Of the house Col.
r. e. Fast is one of the gentlemen
whose name has been mentioned with
the nomination for governor. He has
taken no active move and will proba-
bly, not take any at least for the pres
ent. A number of the state papers
have been talking of him and they
feel very we'll disposed towards him.
He would make a strong candidate
and would come as Reorganization of
the services Of this county which has
not received very much from the par
ty although it has been faithful SER
vaut.
Another candidate for the Office of
uperintendant of free schools is Prof.
Miller of the University. He has also
announced himself after being solicit
ted by great many people from all
sections OF the state. He is an edu-
Gator of years OF experience and is
known to every teacher Of prominence
in the state. No man in the faculty
stands higher than he does.
Morgantown has every reason to be
proud of the array of candidates that
she can offer.

While on her way to Morgantown
from Fostoria where she had been at
tending the funeral of her brother
who died recently in Indianapolis
Miss Maud Emerine was injured in a
railroad wreck which came nearly
ending the lives of number of pas
sengers.
The wreck which took place near
New Castle on Monday morning was
one of the worst that even occurred on
the road. The train while running
at good speed dashed into an open
switch and the engine turned COM
pletely over. The fireman was caught
under the wreck and killed. The
engineer was badly injured.
All of the cars besides two sleepers
were derailed and turned over. Their
steps were all knocked off and the
sides crushed in a number of them.
The seats were torn out and the pas
sengers thrown in heap in the front
ends of the cars.
Miss Emerine received a blow on
the head and was knocked senseless
remaining unconscious for nearly two
hours. When she recovered she had
been taken out of the wreck into one
of the sleepers which had remained
on the track.
A few moments after she came to
her senses the whole train load of peo-
pie were bundled out Of the cars into
the cold and had 10 stand there with
out food or shelter for several honrs
waiting for the wreck to be cleared
away and another train started
through.
She reached Morgantown on the
evening train almost exhausted from
the strain TO which she had been sub
jected for the twelve hours preced-
ing.
