BUCKHANN0N, w. Va, June 2S.-
Governor George w. Atkinson narrow
ly escaped a ducking last night.
The Governor came here to deliver
an address before the State Epworth
League Convention and was the guest
of his brother-in-law, Rev. A. Mick.
Yesterday R. P. Young called to see
the Governor but he did not find him.
He made several unsavory remarks
about His Excellency and was under
intense excitement.
The police overheard Mr.. Young and
asked him his intentions. He said he
did not mean any harm, but it was
learned that a crowd Of his friends in
tended to take the Governor and gag
ana duck him last night. A guard was
placed at Rev. Mick's home and this
morning a bodyguard escorted His
Excellency to the train.
Mr.. Young is the father of Ed. Young
who was killed at Clarksburg last year
by Vale Boughner. Boughner was
tried and sentenced to a term in the
p~enitentiary. A few weeks ago he was
p~ardoned by Governor Atkinson.
Since then Young has threatened all
manner of things if he ever met the
Governor. Mr.. Young had intended
he said to see the Governor and tell
him what he thought of him.
The %pardoning of Boughner did not
meet the approval of Buckhannon citi-
zens and many remarks were made
that it was wise for the Governor to
call out a guard.

WILL BE MORGANATIC.
Franz Ferdinand Re-
Succession to the
Throne For His Prospective Wife
and Children.

VIENNA, June 2S.-The Archduke
Franz Ferdinand, the former heir to
the throne, and a nephew of the En-
peror, at the Hofburg to-day in the
presence of the Emperor, archdukes,
ministers and State dignitaries, took
a formal oath that he and his future
wife, (the Princess Chotek), will both
regard their marriage as Morganatic.
Consequently his wife will never as
sumo the position of Empress and the
children by their marriage will never
claim the right of succession.
The oath was administered with i'm
pressive ceremony. Count Goluchow-
ski, the minister of foreign affairs,
read the documents. The Archduke
then advanced to a crucifix on the
table and placed his fingers on the
Testament, which was held by the
Cardinal Archbishop. After taking the
oath the Archduke signed the docu-
ments. The marriage will occur Sun
day.

MORGANTOWN, w. Va, June 2S.-
Charles Epler, who killed Sam Thomp-
son recently in self-defense, has re-
turned from his home in Wood county
and surrendered to the officers. He
was given a hearing this morning and
bound owe to await the action of the
grand jury.
Since the adjournment of the Board
of Regents it has been discovered that
Mrs. Hester and Miss Sitter, two of the
most competent members of the School
of Music faculty, have not been re-
tanned by the faculty. They were not
given a hearing before the board and
the reasons for their dismissal are not
known. Their friends here are very
much stirred up over the matter. Mrs.
Hester was instructress in vocal music
and Miss Sitter on the violin. The lat
ter was unusually popular and compe-
tent.
Roma Gregg, one of the workmen at
the Morgantown glass works, was
caught in a belt this morning, while
at work, and whirled to the ceiling.
The belt broke and saved his life. He
had his arm badly lacerated, and he
was terribly bruised.
Prof. Lloyd l.. Friend, of the Univer-
sity, has been married to Miss Ger
trude Zearley, of Scottdale, who was
formerly a resident of this place. The
wedding was a quiet one and witnessed
only by the immediate relatives of the
contracting parties. The young couple
have gone east on their honeymoon,
and will return to Morgantwn in the
fall. Prof. Friend is one of the most
popular of the young members of the
faculty, and Miss Zearley has a host
of friends here.

BELLAIRE.
News Notes of Interest From the Bel
mont County Town.
An odd Case.

Yesterday a Mr.. Mellott, of Cameron,
Ohio, was in the city looking for his
son, a boy about fifteen years old. He
stated his son had come here on a visit
and had been enticed by his relatives
to stay, and that he had gone to work
in the Stewart EnameIing works,
where he had gone to see him, and was
told that his son would meet him at
the side door in the alley, and when he
went there his relatives, who also are
employed in this works, drove him
away with bricks. The father visited
several justice shops and called at the
city building, but no officers were in
just then, but a well known attorney
gave the man some good advice, as
also did the squires, which was for him
to apply to the Office of the works for
his son. This did not seem to appease
the irrate father, as he seemed bent on
having some arrests made, and at a
late hour last evening had done moth
Ing more than swear vengeance on his
relatives. Only this side of the case
could be learned, and it is most likely
the relatives also have an interesting
story, as it looks odd for the son to
wish to stay away from home.

Trustees H,ve Petition.

The petition of the people for the
paving of the pike from South Belmont
street to the Pultney township line was
laid before the township trustees yes
terday by Attorney James Tallman, but
no action was taken at this meeting.
The road is to be fourteen feet wide
and the estimated cost is $4,000. They
ask the trustees to issue bonds to the
above amount and that these bonds be
paid from the toll collections on this
road, and by doing this there will be
no taxes on the public for this special
improvement, which will be of much
benefit to all, as this road in the win
ter and spring is always in a bad con-
dition and requires considerable ex-
pense to keep it up. If it was paved it
would last many years and no repair
ing would be necessary, and the citi-
zens hope their petition will be
granted.
