eWs as his name, and who also claim
ed to be an authorized agent of the
American Wooden Mills Manufacture
ing Company, of Chicago, Ill.,, has re-
ceived letter from this company
which stated that her husband was no
agent of their company, but had Or
dered from time to time a number Of
suits and gave w. NJ. Winner as his
correct name. He secured great deal
of money from different parties here
claiming that the company that he
represented required deposit of one
dollar on bill of clothing as guar
antee of good faith. This money he
pocketed. Mrs. Satterfield and Matth-
ews alias Winner were married in this
city and at her home on Water street.
First ward, about two weeks ago after
a courtship of a few days. Immediate
ly after their marriage they left for
lIorgantown. He took her purses
which contained the money for which
she had sold a part of her household
goods. and he left with the Intention
o. going to UniontOwn, where they eX-
pected to reside When they separat-
ed at Morgantown they separated for
ever. for she and her children have
returned to this place. and it was dis
covered that he had been living with
another woman, and they had gone in
the direction Of Pittslburg.
Several invitations were received
announcing the marriage of Mr.. a. NJ
Lawrence and Miss Lottie Parrish,
which occurred in Washington, D. c.,
on the 18th inst. The bride is well
NV Of E'ai <
society people, and having held po-
sition for quite while in Mrs. no
rams millinery store. They will be
home to their friends at Richmond,
Va, after the 21st inst.
Senator Stephen B. Elkins was in
the city a few days ago on his way
to Morgantown, where he is the owner
of a large tract of coal land situated
along the Morgantown & KingwoOd
railroad. Monongalias wealth is con-
sidered something great, and the large
oil and gas wells that have been struck
there has won for it this reputation
Senator Elkins is willing to make a
test of the coal seam, erect coal works,
etc, on his large tract of land there,
providing, however, that the land own
ed by a single individual adjoining the
EIkins tract can be secured without
paying an eXorDitant price. A coal
and coke plant that will cost in the
neighborhood of $125,000 is contem-
plated. and is sure to be erected if the
satisfactory terms can be agreed upon
between land owners and those desir-
ing to purchase.
Several coal men from Ohio were
here yesterday en- route to Bristol in
Harrison county, where it is said they
have about closed the deal for a sew
eral thousand acre tract of coal land
a. and near that place. We are in
formed that engineers are at work sur
veying the land and the price that is
to be paid is $13 per acre.
Over some trivial matter a Slav
employed on the railroad being erect
ed from this city to Fairyiew, early
one morning the first of the week said
to one of his companions that he in
tended to kill their foreman. When
he had gone within twenty-five yards
of the foreman he drew from his peck
ct a revolver and fired three times, but
each and every one of the shots Went
wild. The Slav was arrested, taken
before Justice Taught at Rivesville,
and a preliminary hearing was given
him. In default of $500 bond he WAS
remanded to Jail to answer an indict-
ment before the next grand jury.
