TWO CENTS
PRINTER KNOX.
The New Attorney General Learned to
set Type in Brownsville

2. c. Knox of Pittshurg has, as Is
now we'll know, been offered the port
folio of the attorney general Ia the
cabinet of President Mckinley. He
has the offer under consideration, aud
the likelihood is that 1t viii be accepts
ed. The newspapers in their search
ing for the material which makes up
the history of his life and career have
learned that both he and his father
had rendered service on newspapers in
Fayette county. The Pittsburg Dis
patch says that branches of the Knox
family had been transplanted TO the
United States at very early date in
colonial annals, but the immediate
line from which Mr. Knox came had
at its head his grandfather, Rev.
William Knox, minister Of the
Church of England, born III County
Tyrone, Ireland.
Mr.. knox's father, at the now de-
fnnet Madison College, learned to set
type on the Genius OF Liberty. Ii
was because or this sojourn in Union
town that the fathers future resi-
dence ultimately became Brownsville,
where p. G Knox was born. He had
been advanced so far In bis studies
that when, because another youth In
Brownsville was attending Mount
Union College at Alliance, o., he
went there. He later returned home
and waited for his class TO catch up.

for the Next Year at Least.

Supreme Court Clerk Holly will
remain in office for at least another
year. This is the information that
comes from people who have been in
Charleston and have got the inside

quiet for the next twelve months at
least.

Which she Has Charge.

county. w. Va, ana the JAN OF
Which she Has Charge.
Mrs. Macdonald is the only woman
in West Virginia and is believed to be
the only woman in the United States,
who occupies the position of Deputy
Sheriff and has charge of a Jail in
which some of the most desperate
characters are kept. She is widow
and lives alone with her two children
in the jail in which there are now
confined two of the most desperate
moonshiners ever captured in the state
and one man charged with murder
She was appointed by Sheriff Isaac
Lewis over several other applicants,
because of her great personal bravery
and her skill in handling a rifle and
revolver. She does not know what
fear is, she is dead shot with either
rifle or a revolver and has killed a
good deal of big game especially deer
which she is very fond of hunting. She
will be 43 years old in May is descend
ed from one of the original settlers of
Grant county, and has never been out
of the county. Tier husband died
last year, leaving her dependent upon
her own resources. The jail is at
Maysyille, but the county seat is at
Petersburg, and when her prisoners
are wanted in court she has to take
them ten miles under her own pro-
lection, but none has ever yet escaped
from her. Sam Self one of the most
notorious moonshiners the state has
ever known. is now in her custody.
Officers have been trying for many
years to arrest him, but he always
managed to elude them till few

In the Wrong House.

Charlie Philips thinks about his
work. That was the cause Of his
making funny mistake yesterday.
The family had moved but on going
home for dinner Charles forgot this
important fact. He went into the
old home and entering the dining
room and began to eat his dinner.
There was no one present but dinner
was ready and he being hungry did
not stand on ceremony but went to
work at once. He was sitting there
busily engaged VIXEN the housewife
came in. AS soon as he saw her he at
once came to himself and found that
he was making big mistake. He
apologized but the laugh is on him.

forty votes polled at Municipal Hall
out of a total Of more than four hum
dred possible voters
Three candidates are in the field for
Mayor. There are Col. r. e. Fast,
George G. Steele and s. +. Glasscock.
1t is impossible at this hour to hazard
a guess as to who will be elected but
it is certain that no matter who is
chosen the new city will have capa-
BILE man to govern its destinies during
its first year of existence.
For council there are many more
candidates. Twelve names are TO be
found on the various tickets with va
rious combinations Of the twelve men
on them. w. e. Arnett is the only
candidate for recorder in the field and
he will be elected unanimously,

Glasscock and r. A. Vance.
George Vance, George McVicker
and John Alexander are commission
ers in town. @. w. Finnell and S. A.
Posten are clerks.
In Seneca a heavy vote is being
polled. The interest centers on the
council. John w. Wiles, Rufus
West, John Tough and Leopold Sig
wart are candidates and they and
their friends are hustling for votes.
lis votes had been polled there at one
o'clock this afternoon. At Municipal
Hall at the same hour 135 votes had
gone in.
Part of the voters in Greenmont
determined to hold an election and
they secured the poll books and opened
up in the Morris Grocery over there.
They will certify the result to the re-
corder of MorgantoWn. This attempt
will be resisted by those opposed TO
the charter.
Omer Koontz, Walter McClelland
and Claude Mckinney are commits
sioners and Clyde Barbe and W. G.
Fisher are the clerks in Seneca.
South Morgantown is not taking
any part whatever in the election and
will refuse to abide by its decision.
They will fight the new charter as will
be seen in another column of this

rate of speed when they came to-
gether and they were badly smashed.
The engineer on one of the engines
was badly hurt. Traffic was delay

reached here at five o'clock was sent
for and the passengers were trans
ferred at the point of the wreck from
the night train from Pittsburg.
NOTHING definite has been heard
from the B. q O. locomotive which
is to be furnished to the University
but it is known that it is ready to
be sent at any time. There is no
particular hurry and it can come
just as well later as it can come now.

KNEW KNOX.
A Former Schoolmate Says He Was a
Very Bright Student.

The Hon. p. G. Knox, of Pittsburg
who was recently appointed attorney
general of the United States by
President VIM. Mckinley, is known
by many in this city and state, hav-
ing attended the West Virginia uni
versitv in his younger days says the
Wheeling News. A number of
Wheeling men were attending the
university at that time, several of
them being in the same classes with
Mr.. Knox. A. S. List and Harry
Mcclure were among this number.
Mr.. Mcclure SAYS he is reluctant to
speak on the subject owing to the
fact chat there are so many people
who are anxious TO claim acquain-
lance with one who has risen to
such prominence as has Mr.. Knox.
He says, though, Mr.. Knox was not
only one of the brightest students in
the university but was considere done
of the boys. He was one of the hale,
hearty, well-met class of men who
become leaders among their compan-
ions, and he stood in the highest es-
timation among his companions and
classmates. After leaving that in
stitution he went to Mt. Union col
lege and from there to Ann Arbor,
Mich, graduating in the law class at
the latter school. But few people
were more pleased by his appoint
ment than were his old classmates
in this city.

COUNSEL ENGAGED.
Five Lawyers Secured to Fight
Charter Law.
Judge Johnson, Judge Berkshire, Chas.
A. Goodwin, w. T. Hubbard and
Col. Arnett Retained Hot Fight will
be Made to Break Down Charter
Seneca Satisfied,

JShtNA SutasANos
Al last some active steps have been
taken to fight the new city charter
An able array of counsel has been Sc
cured and they will do whatever lies
in their power to prevent the provis-
ions of the new law from being carried
into effect so far as it relates TO South
Morgantown and Greenmont.
The lawyers who have been retained
are Judge Okey johnson, Judge r. L.
Berkshire and Chas. A. Goodwin of
Morgantown and Hon. w p. Hub
bard and Col. w. W. Arnett of
Wheeling. Their services were en-
gagged on Wednesday afternoon. They
have all agreed to accept the proffer
and will shortly get together for the
purpose Of holding a consultation.
The plan which is to be followed in
fighting the charter has of course not
yet been announced even If decided
upon and that is doubtful. However
it is the intention OF those who are
opposed to the new law to leave moth
ing undone that may cause it to fail
to be carried into effect.
South Morgantown aud Greenmont
people are behind the scheme and
Henry Domain Of South Morgantown
is the leading spirit in the movement.
He announced in an interview in the
NEW DOMINION some days ago That
this would be done and the announce
ment created some surprise as it was
thought by many people that the OBJ
jectors had all concluded to let it go
as it was without further protest.
Seneca will probably come into the
new town even if the other towns
stay out. II has taken part in the
election and the people in that part of
town are satisfied with it as it stands.
