fected his ability to perform his
work and earn a livelihood. The doc
tor said he had made partial exami-
nation of the plaiutitf's eyes at his re-
quest and the result was so unsatisfact-
DRY that he advised him to go to DR..
Ramser, who was specialist in that
line, for treatment.
Dr.. E. 81. Irwin testified that Nicks
had called on him about ten days ago
He had then tested his sight and found
that one eye was stronger than the
other and that while he had good far
sight he could not distinguish we'll at
close range. The doctor knew moth
ing of the accident ct that time.
The with esses are being cross-ex-
amined by each of the defendants
lawyers in turn. A general denial is
set uD and contributory negligence on
the part of the plaintiff Ia charged.
EXPERT TESTIMONY.
b. E. Davis, the plumber, was called
to the stand this morning as an expert
witness in behalf of the plaintiff.
He testified as to the custom pre-
vailing in the city in regard to the
hand ling of gas pipes. He said that it
was customary for persons who desired
to no longer use gas to notify the com
pany to take out the meter. All the
pipes from the meter out were under
the Jurisdiction of the gas company
and could not be taken out except by
them. Those in the house were under
the con trol of the owners of the house
and could be taken out by any compe-
tent plum Der hired by them. 1t was
customary when the use of gas was dis
continued to shut it off from the street.
A large number of persons were in
the court room this morning. Six
lawyers interested in the case on one
side or the other sat around the table
and the witness was cross-examined by
first one and then the other. From the
line of ton followed, 1t
appeared that the Gas company and
Momsen & Thome are each endeavor-
ing to dodge the responsibility and put
the blame on the other. Their attor-
neys constantly objected to each others
questions and endeavOred to break the
ton.
Judge Kemp asked a few questions
on behalf of the defendant, Mrs.
Cohen.
Mr.. Davis was on the stand about an
hour and half. His evidence closed
the plaintiff s case.
MRS. COHEN'S DEFENSE.
Mrs. Mehau, wife of Chinese In
spector Mehan, was called to the stand
by Mrs. Cohen. She testified that she
and her husband had rented the house
before Mrs. Cohen bought it and
had had the gas put In, and used 1t for
about three months, but had had it
taken out before Mrs. Cohen bought

gun threw up his hand and cried: How
is it, old boy?" And then, to the others,
How was that for an April fool joker
All who had been taken in looked from
one to the other in blank amazement, and
then they looked at one another, staring
with eyes and mouths wide open. For a
time it was more than they could do 40
understand. The realization that the two
had been acting all the while, that they
had worked themselves into that state or
apparent great excitement and fooled the
spectators so effectually was Incompetent
sble. Finally the joke dawned upon their
disturbed minds and they admitted that
they were ION them" Everything was
shut upsat that hour it being Sunday,
too, so the victims had to wait until Mon
day to make good" They will be busy
doing that for some time.
One of the party failed to see the joke
longer than the others. If his name were
given he would have fun poked at him
until what might be called the Battle of
Wounded Knee could be wished in some
uncomfortable place where the caloric Is
famous Joke? joker" he kept repea ting,
Il fail to see where any joke comes in;
l am shot in the knee" He gasped the
wounded member and swore that he could
feel the warm blood trickling down. The
man who fired the revolver insisted that it
could not be so; that the thing was loa6e1
with blank cartridges. After some further
display of anxiety and evident reluctance
10 discover his terrible wound, the fear
full one made an examination and diScov-
cred that he was mistaken. The boys
were never quite able to understand how
he had come TO believe himself shot.
The two warning spirits had, of course,
made the whole thing up. They had laid
their plans with great shrewdness, even
notifying the superintendent of police of
their intention in order that he might not
have them pulled for firing the pistol.

4 NEW POLITICAL PROPHET.

The Democrats of the State ought
to feel greatly encouraged over
their prospects since fredericksburg
News one of the strongest Republi-
can papers in The State, has about
given up carrying Monongalia coun-
ty even, this campaign and declares
that O. s. McKinney's candidacy is
"only a blind on the part of Nc
Graw, who is DESTROYS of securing
the two delegates from Monongalia
to help him along next winter in his
candidacy for United States Sena-
tor" This is the funniest piece of
political news we have heard for
some and we are indeed glad to
hear that the old rock-ribbed Re-
publican "Mongerhail" with her
fifteen hundred majority is about to
break away from her idols and come
out from among the unclean. The
statement that the county is to have
twins in the Legislature instead of
one delegate as heretofore; will be
good news to Hon. Geo. c. Stur-
giss and +. NJ. Grant, as bota are
out for the delegateship and bitter
fight was expected, but by George
the Daily Morning News has Granted
us a happy solution of the whole
affair. The News has not entirely
given up hope for Monongala and
says "rhere is little hope in that
county for the Democracy" but this
from Republican point of view is
equal to saying ''good bye" The
News closes its remarkable editorial
directed at the Fairmont Index, as
follows
The Index may believe it is fool
ing people in its innocent talk, but
the truth is, the Democracy will
use every effort this year TO carry
Monongalia county.

SILENT.

The man who has been the guild
ing spirit of every eight against the
Ring in Preston is woefully silent at
the present time. This has thrown
the Ringsters into state. of con-
sternation. His silence bodies no
good for them, and The ARGUS
asksno credit FOR guessing that when
the time comes for the selection of
delegates to the Republican State
Convention, that they will not have
a solid delegation for Ring Candi-
date White.
