DIED By SUICIDE
rdrew r. conaway Shot Him.
Self Near rairvisw.

Tragedy Occurred Sunday Afternoon
Drinking and Family Troubles said
to be the Cause Mr.. Csnawsy was
Prosperous Farmer of Marion Conn
ty.
A sad tragedy occurred at the
home of Mrs. Layina Conway in
Clay district this county, nesr Fair
view Sunday afternoon. Her son
Andrew F. Cnnaway, better known
as ~Fess" Conway shot himself in
the head with 3S cafibre revolver.
and died instantly.
Mr.. Conaway was a young mar
ried man, aged about 80 years. His
home is at Amos in Marion county,
but the tragedy occurred at the
home of his mother in this county.
He was there Sunday and was under
the influence of intoxicating liquor.
He had been hard drinker for
long time, and had sometimes made
threats of killing himself. but they
were not considered seriously.
Sunday he was apparently not
very accountable for what he was
saying, and the same threats being
made, not much attention was paid
to them. But he told his mother to
watch him and at 2o'clock he would
kill himself
He went into a room by himself
and remined for some time alone.
Finally, shortly before 2 o'clock
shot was heard, and Blanch McBee
young lady who lives with Mrs.
Conway went to the door. The
young man was lying on the floor,
still under the influence of liquor.
He told the girl to wait a minute
and see him kill himself She
thought he was still jesting and
closing tue door went away. In a
few minutes another shot was heard.
This time the family, fearing the
man somewhat while he was drink
ing, did not go 10 the room. They
supposed him to be simply firing at
random.
Later on neighbor man called It
the home, and upon goisg TO the
room found Mr.. Conway dead bull
let hole through his head and a 3S
calibre revolver by his side. The
ball had entered the right side of
the head near the ear, and ranged
upward, but did not come out on
the other side. The first shot had
been fired at the floor, and had
glanced against the wall in the cor
ner of the room.
A jury of six men was empanelcd,
by Squire Wright of Clay District,
and Dir. Yost OF Fairview summoned.
The jury was composed of Martin
Darrah, Stephen Mason, CorbIy Am
mons, Otha Williams, II. c. CIingin-
smith and Elihu Futile. They met
about Z o'clock Sunday evening and
rendered a verdict of suicide. The
report OF the jury was brought to
the circuit clerk here by Squire
Wright Tuesday morning.
Hard drinking and domestic trou
bles are said to have been the cause
of the rash act. Mr. Conway mar
ried daughter OF Simon Shriver,
who now lives in Harrison county
They have one child living. Domes-
tic infelicity had caused a serara-
tion, Mrs. Conaway having gone to
the home of her parents. Mr.. Con-
AVA was prosperous farmer, and
was very well to do. He also had
some income from oil property,
and was IN good circumstances
financially. The scuicide is sad
blow TO the mother of the young
man, who was at the home when it
occurred. So far as can be learned
he was her only son.

AT PARADISE.
B d O. r. r. Surveyors Camp
There Today.
Running Short Line East Via Easton,
Cheat, Bruceton and FarmingJon--
Surveying Down West Run Will
Soon Reach MorganIown.

Survey Ing Down Utcs nun W III
Soon Reach MorganIown.
T. s. o. railroad engineers and sur
yeying corps are coming this way on
new survey from Cheat They were
Fcamped inst beyond Easton Saturday
and moved down West Run to John
L. Johnston's farm, Paradise today.
They will continue the survey to
reach Morgantown.
A short time ago il was announced
that corps OF b & 0 railroad survey
ors had begun TO make new survey
from the Oakland aud Confluence
northeast OF here in Pennsylvania to
connect with Morgantown, by way
of Pennington aud Bruceton, many
people ridicnled the proposition, Fele-
gated IL TO the little corner OF the
mind reserved for numerous paper
railroads. and gave the subject no fur
ther consideration. A little study of
a typographical map convinced some
that If a road did come down Big San
dy to Cheat, IL would have to reach
Morgantown by way of Cheat Haven
and PIT Marion aud would be no espe-
cial interest to this place.
But the surveyors kept working
away, and since Pennington is not so
very far away by direct route, which
they have already reached almost in
sight of Morgantown. The camp
was located beyond Easton sat
urday, and today 1t moved down
West Run to Paradise.
The survey comes by way OF Bruce
ton down the Sandy Creek to Cheat,
down the east side of Cheat to the
neighborhood of Squirrel Rock, eros
ses Cheat by very high bridge, tnn-
nels the hill and comes on 10 almost
direct route towards Morgantown.
The Survey will soon be completed
and ready for record.
The object of the survey is TO effect
shorter connection east from Nor
gaDtown and also to reach previously
undeveloped and rich coal fields. The
route makes great saving or distance
10 going east from Murgantown being
much shorter than either by way Of
Fairmont and Grafton or by way OF
Connelsville.
The plans OF the Wabash to make a
connection with the east much shor-
ter than the present B 4 O seems to
spurred up the latter road to seek for
shorter route by way OF their own
lines.
Railroad competition Is getting
very active in this state. This en-
courages the different compares TO
make greater efforts. And with this
incentive 10 urge them on, il looks
like this new connection OF the b. 81
o. just now being surveyed would be
one of the first to be built OF the
many that have been projected to this
place in the past year.
And l expect that Is no joke
either,n was the reply of one OF the
best Informed men on railroad build
ing 10 the county TO the suggestion
that probably this road would be
built prior to many Others which have
been as persistently doomed. This
gentleman has been helping the boys
with the survey, and is right on the
inside of the proposed plans.
This road. If built would carry WIS.,
istors almost directly from here to the
| Cheat river summer resorts, and
would no doubt increase the business
of the hotels there very much.
