Mr.. Weltner had been drinking ex-
cessiyely of late, and his wife had be-
come so annoyed with his conduct

thing with him, applied TO the sheriff

wrote a letter TO that Official, asking
him to send man out to McCleiland-
town to take Mr.. Weltner TO Jail and
keep him there until further orders.
The sheriff did not do So and Mrs.
Weltner subsequently came TO Union
town and went before Justice John
n. Dawson and made an information
charging her husband with surety of
the peace, for the purpose Of having
him locked up so he could get sober.
This was done Friday morning.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Two Young Ladies Barely Miss a Hor-
rible Death at Harper's Ferry.

On Friday evening last Misses
Mary Powell and Fannie Ball, of
Washington City, guests at the Hill
Top House at Harper's Ferry, driv-
ing handsome pair of black horses,
the property of Mr. E. S. Cummings,
Of Harper's Ferry, visited Charles
Town. When they returned, and on
reaching their hotel, the horses ran
into an old flag pole near the Hill
Top House, broke loose from the
buggy, and plunged over the cliff,
which is several hundred feet high
at that point, and fell to the B. Il o.
tracks below The ladies were
thrown from the vehicle and sus-
tanned some. injuries, which were not
serious. 1t was most fortunate that
the horses broke away from the bug
gy when they did, otherwise nothing
could have prevented the ladies
sharing the fate of the horses. The
latter were valued by Mr.. Cummings
at $500 The accident happened be
tween 8 and 10 o'clock at night.

TAKEN TO WHEELING .

WHEELING, Aug 1.-two deputy
sheriffs from Marion county arrived
here on the Baltimore d Ohio last
evening at o'clock, having in their
change George Campbell and Albert
Thomas, the negroes who shot the
two railroaders at Fairmont Satur-
day night. They were brought here
because it was feared that the peo-
pie Of Fairmont would take justice
into their own hands and lynch the
pair
Campbell was seen at the Ohio
county Jail by reporter, and said:
"We were taken from the Jail Sat
urday, when the mob was forming
to house in the country over the
hills. We stayed there about three
hours, and were taken back to Fair
mont about daylight to-day. We
left Fairmont on the Baltimore Il
OHIO this afternoon at $50 o'clock
for Wheeling.
What have you to say about this
AFFAIR."" was asked.
II ain't.got nothing to say now !,
we'll wait till court before we say
anything" responded Campbell.
"Was it a case of self defense?"
ssYes it was self defense"
As to the particulars of this "self
defense" however, Campbell would
say nothing.
Thomas, his partner in crime, was
asleep.
Campbell. is young man of
about twenty five years, tau and
strongly built, and has a peculiarly
shaped head, running into peak
at the top. He and Thomas, he
said, are railroad laborers.

FAIRMONT MOB.
Enters the Jail After Two Color
ed Men.
But Fails 10 Find Them-The Men had
Shot Two ID. Il o. Employees
Excitement in Fairmont Over the
Crime Men We're Struggled out OF
Town and Taken to Moundsville.

Fairmopt was the scene of a
shooting serape at four o'clock on
Saturday afternoon and it came
near being the scene of lynching
bee that night. The removal of the
two shooters was all that prevented
mob from hanging them without
waiting the process of law.
B. & o. detective Charles Lilley,
of Grafton, is one of the injured men
and Henry Downey, one of the rail.
road employees at Fairmont is the
other. Downey is hurt worse than
Lilley having been shot in the breast
and arm while the other man re.
ceived shots in the side and arm.
The shooting grew out of the at
tempt to arrest several tramps. They
had tried to board freight train at
Pennington ON Friday evening and
when put off had fired at the train
men. They reported the matter and
the detective was put on the track.
He traced them to Fairmont and
together with Downey attempted to
arrest them. They resisted and a
general fusilade took place. Both
the injured men were too badly hurt
to follow, them up but their cries
for assistance brought number of
railroad men who took the negroes
into camp.
They were lodged in Jail and ex-
citement got to fever heat 1t was
reported during Saturday night that
Downey had died and mob of five
hundred men at once started for the
Jail to hang the murderers.
The officials had feared this move
however and they had removed the
PR oners to Moundsville where they
are at present. The mob searched
the Jail and not being able to find
the men it then dispersed. 1t was
reported that the men had been
brought to Morgantown but this
was mistake.
At last accounts Downey was still
alive and it is thought that he has
better chance for recovery than at
first anticipated. The excitement
in Fairmont is cooling down a great
deal but had the guilty men been OBJ
tanned by the mob they would have
been hung without delay.

Bear Shoots Himself.

Tuesday night bear caught and
killed hog belonging to William
Cowger. who lives near the Cowger
spring, on Elk river. Mr.. Cowger' S
hogs were on the range when bruin
laio hold of one, ate mess out of
it and then returned to his lair. Mr..
Cowger being an old hunter, tied the
carcass of the hog to sapling, and
styled three Winchester rifles in
such manner that when the bear
returned AMI began to devour the
remainder of the carcass, all three
of the guns were discharged, the
bullets from two taking effect, one
piercing his head, and the other his
body, and poor bruin was found
dead in his tracks with chunk OF
pork in his mouth.

PATHETIC
Is the Appeal Of Pennington Miners
Against a Wage Reduction During
Prosperity.

There is something pathetic in the
appeal OF the 100 coal miners at
Pennington, w. Va, who have been
recently compelled to lay down their
tools during these times of .McKin-
ley prosperity" says the Sentinel.
They have addressed a memorial to
the president and board of directors of
the Pennington Coal and Coke Com
pany. with sorrow for the neces-
sity for petitioning you,n they be-
gin, and then set forth their griev-
dnces.
Pathetic because at the same time
that these miners are praying for the
old wages of 90 cents ton the opera
tors have advertised a meeting of the
stockholders for the purpose of in
creasing the capital stock $500, 900.
These miners were getting 90 cents a
ton, and their wages were cut to 10
cents. They refused to toll for such
pittance. Hence the strike.
They have nothing saved, their
families are in want and the United
Mine Workers are compelled to con-
tribute to their support. The COM
pany is wealthy and the dividends
have been large.
The miners in their memorial claim
that former Superintendent receiv-
ing 81, 800 was discharged and one
employed who receives SO, 500. They
urge that the high salaries of the
men in authority over the miners
come off Of the poor fellows who delve
in the mines for the coal There
have been no cases of roting and vio-
lence, but the men are restless and
determined.

SEVERE STORM.
Heavy Wind Visits us on Sun
day Afternoon.
Some Damage Done about Town-Tel-
ephone Wires Tangled Merry Go
Round Tent Blown Down and Gates
Drake Injured Warm Wave has left

Sunday afternoon the hot spell was
broken by heavy wind storm accom-
panied by considerable lightning and
some rain. The storm broke here
about O'Clock. The wind came in a
hurricane and made things lively for
time.
Telephone wires were tangled and
twisted in every direction and it took
a good part of Monday to get them
in shape for business again. Shade
trees suffered and many of them lost
branches. Several trees were blown
down. Many apples were blown off
the trees and the scanty crop was still
further reduced.
The tent belonging to The merry go
round was blown and one of the pro-
prietors was caught in the wreckage
and badly hurt. He was Gates Drake
fand DR.. McLane was called. He
found that Drake had several ribs
broken besides receiving other injur-
les. The machine was damaged to
some extent by the wind
A tree near the Cheat Canyon club
house was struck and shattered by
bolt of lightning. Several people
were sitting on the porch and they
were shaken up somewhat besides be-
ing badly scared by the bolt.
As a result of the storm the warm
wave has been broken and the tenn
perature is very much lower than it
has been for the last ten days. The
nh &c <rtxr I,f
return of such high temperature is to
be expected again this season.
The rain accompanying the storm
was small ia volume but it laid the
dust and cooled the air.
