every road, by-road, house, factory,
school house, church, stream, rail
road, etc, will be Indicated together
with contour lines at every 90 foot
elevation. Last year nearly months
time was lost through the excessiv e
rains in April, but in spite of much
inclement weather five full sheets
were surveyed, viz. the Wheeling,
Fairmont, Clarksburg, Milton and
Ceredo, besides parts of several 9th
ers, and much primary triangula
ton completed necessary for the ac-
curate control of other sheets to-
gether with the Morgantown sheet

HORRIBLE CRIME.
Negro kills young man and out
RACES his sweetheart.
Crime Committed near Dnnbar-The
Brute has been Lodged in jail at
CDiont0wn-He Refuses to talk about
the Crime-Another Black Chapter
added to Fayette COuntY's annals.

The following special has been re-
ceived from UnionJown:
John Callahan, aged % years, and
employed at the Cambria works, was
murdered and Myrtle Stevens outrag-
ed in an open field near the town of
Dunbar last night.
James Washington, colored, the al
legged and brutal murderer has been
apprehended and is now waiting his
fate in the Fayette county jail at
Uniontown.
Callahan in company with Miss
Stevens were going to her home last
night and were compelled to cross an
open field to reach their destination
when they were overtaken by Wash
ington. Without words or warning
the negro directed true aim with a
large revolver at the body of Callahan
and fired. The bullet had its muir
derous effect. Piercing the heart,
causing almost instant death. Not
satisfied with the heinous murder
Washington grappled withg the girl
and after a fierce struggle succeeded
w
mediately fled for the woods but this
morning was located and arrested by
County Detective McBeth and taken
to Dunbar and from there TO Union
town to the county jail.
Miss Stevens is in a precarious con-
dition at the home of her father neal
Dunbar and her recovery Is doubtful
from the effect of the brutal assault.
Washington has the reputation OF be-
ing tough customer and worthless
loafer, and it is said, he has made
threats several times that he would
fix Callahan if he got d chance.
The murdered man is a son OF Jer-
emiah Callahan and was regarded as
peaceable young man possessing a
good character. He has resided in
Dunbar all his life.
Callahan has been keeping company
with the Stevens girl for some time
and for what reason the crime was
committed is not clearly known.
The town of Dunbar is IN wild ex'
citment and it was with much diff.
flculty that the officers quieted the
large crowd, urging them not to in
terfere with the law, which would in
due time settle the punishment upon
the murderer for the horrible crime.
Coroner A. G. Hagan secured jury
and held post norton examination,
which developed the fact that the bull
let pierced Callahan'S heart, causing
almost instant death. The evidence
in the case will be taken Saturday
Washington was placed in the coun
| tY jail at 2:l5 o'clock this afternoon.
He was repeatedly asked about thu
crime, but refused to say any thing
about it.

ing dentistry illegally. The com
plainant is DR.. Charles A. Meikle,

bered had given Reeder charge of a

Finally Doctor MeIkle was arrested
on a charge OF assaulting Reeder's
alleged wife, but was acquitted in
the Fayette county courts. AL
though Reeder and the woman swore
during the trial and they were mar
ried, they were not, as Immediately
after the trial they came to Morgan

WINDPIPB OPENED.
Little Baby Girl of Mr. and Mrs.
Lanham of Catawha.
Treehe0tory Performed to Permit the
Little One to Breathe and Remove
train of Corn from Child's Throat
Operation Successful.

A very unusual and most wonder
full operation was performed between
seven and eight o'clock Saturday
evening at Cooks hospital. A little
two ear old girl baby belonging to
Mr.. and Mrs. Lanham, of Catawha,
had gotten a grain Of corn in its
wiedpipe says the Fairmont Times.
Unless the corn was extracted
death was sure to follow, and that
very speedily.
sThe infant was hurriedly brought
to the hospital, and after a short
consultation it was placed under an
anaesthetic and laid upon the oper-
ating table. 1t was then quite dark
and the table was lighted by OYER
hanging ineandescents. Surround
ing the table were, Drs. Cook, Hall,
Fitch and visiting surgeon. The
father of the child watched the OPP
Grafton, as the head nurse and sew.
eral assistants were there to give
aid, and several spectators includ-
ing a Times man also watched the
interesting and wonderful operation.
After the choloform had done its
work and the child was perfectly
unconscious, an incislon was made
Just below the neck, down through
the tender flesh to where the wind
pipe lay.
After the windpipe was laid bare,
and within reach, slit was made IN
it and at the second inhalation there
after, the grain OF corn come to the
ineision and wasp easily procured.
Then the wound was carefully closed,
aud sewed together. The child was
tenderly carried to a cot below stairs
and within an hour had come out
from under the influence OF the
chloroform, and was able to recognize
those about her. Yet the operation
left the little one threatened with
pneumonia, from the irritation, and a
serious fever followed.
The operation was called traeheaot-
omy, and was interesting because oil
the tender age Of the patient, and
because of the unusual nature and
infrequency of those operotions, being
of course the result OF an accident. Ii
was interesting to observe the chile
getting its breath, not from the mouth
but from the incision in the wind
pipe as soon as it was made. Anothel
interesting feature was to watch the
faces of the brave and skillful nurses
about the table.
