Sudden Death of Frank Woods.

WooDs-Mr Frank Woods a we'll
known attorney Of Baltimore died
suddenly at the Hotel Chalfonte, At
lantic City, on Friday evening, Au-
gust 18th, aged so years and II
days. His death came as a great
shock to his friends everywhere
Though victim of consumption he
had been unusually well of late and
on the day Of his death seemed quite
bright and cheerful. After supper
while walking on the hotel porch
with Mrs. Wood he was seized with
a cough that brought on a hemor.
rhage which caused his death in a
few minutes. The announcement
came SO suddenly that it was a
shock to his wide circle of friends.
Mr.. Woods was q most excellent
christian gentleman, profound
lawyer and had the confidence OF
his fellow practitioners and his eli
ents. Mr. and Mrs. Woods had been
at Atlantic City the greater part of
the summer and he seemed to be
much benefited by the sea air and
hoped to return to his practice in
Baltimore much inyigorated. He
was son of the late Hon. Samuel
Woods, of the supreme court of APP
peals, who was an eminent jurist.
He was educated at the University
here where he was we'll known. Soon
after coming into practice he located
in Baltimore where he has been
quite successful. The remains were
brought to Morgantown on Monday
morning accompanied by his broth
err Samuel V. Woods and his sister
Mrs. Byrer and husband, of Philip
pi, and some Other friends. The in
terment was private in Oak Grove.
The members of the bar here met
the remains and acted as pail bear.
ers. Services were conducted by
DR.. Reynolds who was an old friend
of deceased.

To Honor Prof. Wade.
Nav York Commercial

West Virginians are contemplating
some fitting testimonial to Prof. A,
Il. Wade, Of Morgantown, known
throughout the Mountain State as
the ssFather of Education" For
over half a century :Prof. Wade has
been mentioned with almost every
movement looking to the improve
ment Of the educational system of his
native State, the establishment OF
special schools, and the improvement
Of denominational institutions. His
efforts have not been restricted by de-
nominational lines, and all classes
and divisions have reason to cherish
his memory. In the mountainous
districts Prof. Wade was public
school teacher long before the State
was created. His work in the inter
ests OF the West Virginia University
OF late..years has been especially con-
spicu0us, although he no longer is an
instructor in the schools. There is
hardly school or hamlet, no matter
how far removed from the few rail
ways In the interior OF the State,
that has not been assisted IN some
way by this aged teacher.

Tom Davis will Win.

1t is believed by conservative per-
sons generally that the nomination
of Col. Tom Davis for Congressman
from this district is the strongest
that could have been made, and
many express the opinion that Mr..
Dayton is already beaten. Colonel
Tom will receive the full party vote
and in the three counties where he
is best known he will get great
deal more. There are good many
Republicans who are ambitious to
run for Congress some day them
selves, and they will take this oppor-
tunity to get rid Of Mr.. Dayton
whom they have not been able e
touch in the conventions. Shepherds

A RAILROAD
Was Something these People
had Never Seen.
Although They Lived within 20 Miles
Of Wheeling Pitiable Condition OF =
Marshall County Family.

WHEELING, w. Va, Aug 20---It
seems incredible that there should be
people living within 20 miles OF
Wheeling who have never seen rail-
road or fast moving locomotive. but
that such Is the case was revealed yes
terday when patient was received
at the Reynolds Memorial Hospital at
Glendale, and more strangely, the peo-
pie alluded to live but eight miles
back from the river. Progress, IL
would seem, has scarcely penetrated
all corners OF the state.
Existing In hut in Marshall coun-
ty, near the Wetzel county line, were
Sylyanus Henthorne, his wife Rebec~
ca Henthorne and their two children.
They existed rather than lived, and
recently their deplorable condition ex-
cited the sympathy OF the neighbor-
hood with the result that the atten-
tien Of the State Humane Society was
called TO the case yesterday and Agent
Echols had Mrs. Henthorne, who was
Ill, poorly clad and suffering for the
need of food and medicines removed
TO the Glendale Hospital. In the hut
there were neither chairs, eatables nor
any OF the comforts found In humble
home. The two children are Idiots
and the mother was afflicted with the
St. Vitus dance.
From the place. eight miles back
| from the river, Mr.. Echols and his
sick and demented patient drove I'd
Woodlands, station on the Ohio
river railroad. The unfortunate wom-l
an here showed that she had never be-
fore seen a railroad train, and 1t was
with difficulty she could be prevailed
upon TO board It. Her husband was
equally ignorant. The woman Is In q
critical condition at the hospital. and
her recovery is doubtful This fact,
combined with the disclosure that q
family living 10 miles from Mounds
vile and within populous and much
travelled section, had no previous
knowledge OF d railroad, an institu-
tion that has almost ceased to be
modern, has caused the affair To be u
topic of wide discussion.

4 FORTUNE IN THE OLD CLOCK.
The Time Piece Relic In Washing.
ton County Home and Curious Se-
cret Drawers.

In an old eight day clock in the
house of Mrs. Nancy Bebout. who
died last week in Amwell township,
Washington county, Pa, there were
discovered bags of gold and silver
coin which will amount, it is esti-
mated, to several thousand dollars.
A few hours before her death she
gave some keys to her niece who
stayed with her at the house. She
told her that the keys were for the
small drawers which had been con.
structed inside the old clock on the
stairs. After Mrs. Bebout's death
the girl turned the keys over to the
executor of the estate, w. NJ. Lee,
of Holidays Cove, West Virginia.
| He opened the clock in the front
and discovered the small drawers.
The upper one was opened, but
| lothing was found. The others in
the front could not be opened and
he began to search those in the rear.
Upon opening the first drawer he
discovered four sacks, which weigh.
ed in the aggregate "a pounds. They
were filled with gold and silver
coin. These sacks of coin are esti
mated to be worth many thousands
of dollars, though the executor did
not count the contents, taking them
to bank in Steubenville, o., where
they were deposited.
Mr.. Lee was in Washington Sat
urday and filed the will of Mrs. Be
bout for probate. She bequeathed
800 to the Board of Foreign Mis-
sions Of the Presbyterian church,
and distributed her property, real
and personal, among her neices and
nephews. To one she bequeathed
the eightday clock, but no mention
was made of the contents.
jeremiah Bebout was cabinet
maker by trade and over three score
years ago he made this old clock.
In the interior he placed a variety
of little drawers, which were orna
mented and SO constructed as not to
be noticeable. Mr.. Bebout was a
man Of industry and frugality and
during his life accumulated much
money. He would never invest any
of his earnings and had no faith in
banks. Within this old clock, which
stood at the head OF the stairs, he
year after year. placed the money
which he had saved and accumulate
ed.
He died several years ago, and it
was not until the time of his death
that he told his wife of the secret
and she had since then carefully
guarded it, as she did not need any
Of the money, having plenty to live
on. The discovery Of the bags of
gold, and the fact that there are a
number of drawers in the old clock
which have not yet been opened has
created much excitement in the
neighborhood Some Of the neigh
bors are of the opinion that the
wealth of the old couple will amount
to many thousands of dollars.
