Pitfalls OF Preachers.

Huntington dispatches state that
"Rev John Holden was shot at and
severely wounded in tile shoulder
while making his escape in scant at
tire from the bed room of an absent
lord and master in the act of re-
turning. It seems that REV. John"
is really young Albert d. Holden, a
son of Nathan Holden, of this coun.
ty, living at Craigmore. Albert is
about 81 years of age, and although
he has been duly called and licens-
ed to preach, he never has been or
dained. However, he got the late
conference in session at this place
recently to give him some kird of a
job, skypiloting down in the south
ern part of the state with the result
above stated.
Holden taught at the Pontiac Re-
form School, Illinois, for five years,
returning home and teaching the
Center Branch school, in this coun
ty, last winter.
The wound he received is not nee
essary fatal and it is not thought
that it will interior with his future

A Wise Choice.

Prof. Thomas c. Miller, State SUI
perintendent-elect OF Free Schools,
spent Tuesday evening last and We'd
nesday in Wheeling. He came to
receive the congratulations of his
many friends in this part OF the
State on his election to this respon-
sible Office. The people have GER
tainly made a wise choice in their
selection of a State Superintendent,
though his opponent was also well
qualified for the position and would
have made equally as good Super
intendent. Both political parties
made wise selections for this impor
tant office. This should be the case
every time, SO that our schools would
be safe, let which party may carry
the State. This is an office that
should be entirely divorced from pol
tiles, but as it is not in our State,
but is made political office, the
very best educators should be Sc
lected from both parties, as was done
this time Mr.. Miller's administra-
ton of the educational affairs of our
State cannot be otherwise than a
success, as he is well equipped in
every way, and his whole life has
been spent in successful teaching

His Boy Decided for Board.

A strange settlement Of board bill
was made in court at Uniontown last
week, whereby a man resigned his 10
year old son to pay it. George Ross
Ter buried his wife on October 1st and
within week had married another
woman. His first wife was daugh-
ter of James X. Provanee of Mason
town, and the couple boarded with
her father some time before her
death. 1t was alleged that the mon
ey that should have paid the first
wife's funeral expenses went for we'd
ding fees and finery for the new wife.
Provance was SO incensed at Rossler's
hasty marriage that he entered suit
for his board bill and agreed to settle
it il Rossler would turn over his
daughters child to him so that he
would not bear the name Of his faith
err The papers were granted and the
child's name was changed from James
Edgar Rossler to James Edgar Prov
ance.

Have We Lost The Meteors.

These failures Of the expected dis
plays in 1899 and 1900 may mean, as
some OF the astronomers conjecture,
that such displays as those OF 1899,
1888 and 1866-67, in the earlier of
which years the failing stars" APP
peared almost as numerous as snow
fakes in an ordinary snowstorm, may
never be witnessed again. Some as
tronomers who had been computing
the November Ii meteor orbit an
nounced their belief that the attrac-
tion OF the big planets Jupiter and
Saturn has drawn the meteor zone
about 1900, 600 miles nearer the san
Thus they may elude the earth when
in that part OF its orbit in which it
formerly dashed through the meteor
swarm. If this assumption proves to
be correct by the failure OF displays in
1893 or 1894, then one of the most
wonderful Of the recurring astrono-
momical spectacles which the eye Of
man has ever seen will have ended

Methodist Episcopal church last
night on "The Cure of Naaman, "
from the words Let him come now
to ne and he shall know that there
is a prophet in. Israel" 1t was a
very earnest, able and suggestive
discourse. Towards the close Of the
service many church members came
to the front OF the church for spec
ial devotional service. DR.. Leech pro-
nounced it the most interesting oc-
casion since the sermons of Mr.. Gee
began. At 3 p. m. he spoke on "The

Clarksburg Thrown into a Panic
Monday Night

Negro Broken Ont with Smallpox
Caught Walking the Streets Fifteen
Men Start to Build Pest House at
Once-Connty Court Seems Disposed
to Shirk Responsibility.
Special to New DOMINION.
CLARKsBURG, Nov. 20-The town
was thrown into a panic last night
by the discovery of a negro who was
suffering from smallpox and who was
broken out with the disease. He was
found on the premises of Mr.. Thomas
Brady who is well known in Morgan
town.
Fifteen men were at once put on
the work of building pest house and
energetic measures will be taken to
prevent the spread Of the disease.
The importation of negroes for cam
paign purposes is blamed with having
started the outbreak. They were in
many cases infected and have been
running at large except Ia cases of
spasmodic quarantine which has been
established.
DR.. Morgan president OF the county
board of health has resigned because
Of the violation of his orders as health
officer DR.. Robert Ramsey a recent
graduate OF the University had been
hired by the county court TO treat
the cases which had been located but
he has been dismissed because Of the
feeling on the part of the county
4 court that they were spending too
much money in fighting the out
break.
