do, and Waldo Washes Har-
bert's Face.

The crowd assembled for the council
meeting Monday night were startled
at an unusual noise In the city lookup
at about o'clock. The police rushed
In and found personal encounter on
between Sampson Harbert and Bob
Waldo.
They had had some difficulty in
Hypers alley half hour before and
had been locked up in the same cell:
The ofiicers put Harbert in first and
in searching him failed to secure q
knife he had. A little later Waldo
was put in the cage with Harbert. AS
soon as the officers left the room Har-
bert jerked out his knife, three inch
blade, and stabbed Waldo in the back
three times. Waldo in turn to defend
himself struck Harbert in the face
with his fist a powerful blow that in
fiicted an ugly wound on his left tenn
Pile. The belligerants were separated as
as soon as possible and Harbert was
taken to the county bastile to sober
up. Waldo not being drunk was al
lowed to go until morning, when the
two men we're given hearing before
the mayor. Harbert was fined IS and
Waldo acquitted. Harbert lives on

mITcHELL's CIRCUS GOOD
Mr.. Mitchell, Himself, Does Some Very
Clever Turns.

Michell's circus gave two perform
ances. afternoon and evening, here
Saturday. The inclement weather
and torrents of rain prevented the at
tendance Of much of a crowd in the
afternoon, but at night the large pa
yilion was crowded to its utmost ca
pacity. The show has been largely
augmented over last year and is a
very creditable entertainment, having
several very excellent performers.
An interesting feature is the feats of
Mr.. Mitchell, himself, who has be-
come a full.aedged trapeze performer.
His appearance in this role was very
pleasant surprise to his many native
county friends and his wonderful
alacrity in the scientific manipulation
of his body caused Amusement. The
circus is well worth seeing, and its
character foreshadows great success
this season.

Of musicians worthy Of the pride and
admiration of Clarksburg. They have
among their number musicians OF
ability, distinction and experience.
Their personal sacrifices and efforts
are commendable and they should

THAT 3. 40. SHORT LINE
Seems to be a Certainty, or Else a
Lot Of Useless Surveying is
Being Done.

A corps of BIS o. railroad survey
ors is now at work on the Ohio side
Of the river, 16miles above Marietta,
where it is proposed to cooss the Ohio
with the main line on the contem-
plated cutoff from Salem, w. Va, to
the river. Crossing the river at New
mort. the B. so. will be able to Sc
cure the right Of way and graded road
bed of the old Plttsburg, Cincinnati &
Ohio Valley railway leading directly
into Marietta. AT this point connec-
tion will be made with the Marietta
branch Of the B. s. o. S. W., meeting
the main line of the latter road at
Belpre.
This would avoid many tunnels,
stiff curves and high grades east Of
Parkersburg, and provide new and
safer bridge forthe heavy engines and
trains on the b. s. o. The present
road at Parkersburg will still accom-
modate the local trade of that city,
which will lose nothing by the change,
the new line passing down the Ohio
bank to the Petersburg bridge.

STRIPPING KNOCKED OFFICERS
OUT.
The Chief and Big Deputy both FelIed
to the Ground.

Saturday afternoon an amusing
spectacle occurred on the corner OF
Third and pike streets, between the
chief Of police and his deputy Alonzo
McCloud and NJ. @. Madara, a beard
less youth barely 10 years of age. The
incident attracted a large crowd, who
were amazed at the science In pugil-
ism shown by this young STRIPPING.
Chief Childers arrested him for dis
orderly conduct In the Deison hotel
and undertook to take him to the
city lookup. Madara showed fight
and Childers depntized McCloud to
assist him. at the corner mentioned
the chief and McCloud both cut tan
gents to terra firma. Childers claims
he fell, but some say Madara felled
him, and no one has any doubt that
he knocked McClOud down. Atany
rate both Of the stalwart Officers of
the law were down with their prisoner
on top. Childers' nose was badly
skinned and his lower lip much
bruised. Madara's incarceration was
finally effected Monday morning he
was fined IS. He said he was from
Gnfton, but it issaid he halls from
Buckhannon.

SERVICE INCREASED
Mr.. Reed will be Transferred to
indianapolis. Capt. Ensey will
Take His Place.

Iekf unegstood that there will be
some Changes In the letter carrier ser
vice here on or after July l. There
win be four carriers instead OF three.
Substitute Carrier A. 7. Kyle will
probably be commissioned full
f,edred carrier. Capt. Charles w. En-
sey, OF the carrier service in Indianap-
oils, Ind, it is reported will be trans
ferred here, taking the place of Car
rler R. 7. Reed, who will be trans
ferreu to the indianapolis post office.
The transfer was effected by Capt.
I svnsey through United States Senator
fArbanks, who got the order passed
iSy the post once department at Wash
ington. Capt. Ensey was a former
resident Of this city. He married
Miss Mamie Rapp, and desires to
make this his permanent home. The
increase in the number ofcarriers was
necessitated by the rapid growth of
the city the past TWO years, as well as
by the inclination of the post-otiice
authorities to give the suburbs a let
ter carrier service. With the addi-
tion Of another carrier, changes will
doubtless be made in the routes of the
present carriers.

hard to name stronger candidate, or
one that will represent his constit-
uents in a more vigorous and effective
manner. He will be a great advan.
tage to the state ticket, notwith-
standing he is in a rock ribbed Repub-
