FOUL PLAY
Suspected In Death OF Guy HandIey--
Not Suicide as First Stated-Coroner
Reports II as Accidental Shooting.

GRAFTON, w. Va, Nov. aa.--It
has been ascertained that Guy T..
Handley did not commit suicide in
California as was first reported. A
later Telegram from the coroner to
K. c. Handley, of this city, brother
of the deceased states that his death
was the result of accidental shoot
ing. There are other circumstances
in connection with the case that
lead his friends here to the conclu
sion that the accidental shooting"
was done by some unknown party,
and that the suicide report was sent
out in the hope OF shielding the
guilty one. Mr., HandIey has wired
for full report Of the circumstances
attending the sad affair, and the
whole truth will doubtless be known
in few days. 1t is strongly suspect
ed tina, there has been foul play.
The body was shipped for Grafton
yesterday and will reach here about
the middle of the week.
Here is the first report sent out
GRAFTON, Nov. 20. "A telegram
received here this afternoon told
that Guy f. Handley, a Grafton
boy, aged 80 and single, son Of
Hon. and Mrs. Virgil c. Handlsy,
OF this place, had committed suicide
at San Jose, California, where he
went some time ago. No details Of
his horrible end have been received
and no one here can imagine the
Cause OF his rash act.
The Handley's arc wealthy end
The boy was always Of cheerful
disposition.
The message adds that the hody
would be shipped to Grafton for
inteTmtnt.

W. v U. SCORES AGAINST W. ].
MorgantOwn Team Awarded the Vie
tory By the Referred

All Morgantown Is wild with 10Y
over the result of the game between
the State University and Wash Jeff,
last Saturday. The West Virginia
boys not only scored against Wash
jeff for the first time, but gained
victory, which was none the less
decisive because of the disorderly
conduct of the Washington players
and their "rooters. The Disgrace
ful scene amounted to a riot. 1t was
precipitated by the knowledge that
w. V. u. would make another
touch down. Aud would thereby
win the game. The crowd swarmed
on the gridiron, and there was
rough and tumble row, which re
fleets no credit on the college town.
w. " u. rooters we're present in
force, and took par, in the melee.
bat all accounts agree that the
Washington crowd were the aggres
sors.
In the first half Wash jeff scored
a touch down. A little later w V.
U. went through Wash Jef's de.
Tense at w. & J. IS yard line, and
made touch. down. w. V. u.
fairly went wild, swarming on the
field, and causing a delay Of about
twenty minutes The half ended
with the score tied. In the second
half w. V. U. carried the ball TO
W. & is IS yard line. where slug
ging tactics were resorted to, but
w. V. u. carried the ball TO the
two yard line. Here the trouble
occurred, and the game ended, with

nerve was displayed by Lloyd
Shields, an employe Of the Sugar
Creek Coal Company, at MacDon-
aid recently. Shields was running
the dynamo Of the Sugar Creek
mine and while fixing some part Of
the machinery had his arm caught
in q cog wheel. The bone was
crushed and the wheel stopped still
holding his arm fast in the cogs.
Shields was all alone and was unable
to release his arm.
After waiting for two hours for
help he took his pocket knife and
hacked away at the imprisoned
arm until released. lie was barely
able to crawl home and is now re.
ported to be in a most critical con.
diiion from the injury and its re.
sulting shock. When Shields as.
sistant went to work next morning
he was Mortified to find a mans
arm still held fast in the cog wheel.

THE REAL BRAND
or Democracy That Will Win Next
Year.

IL is generally conceded that the
Democrats must carry The States of
New York and New Jersey in the
next presidential election in order
to win. Conceding that those two
States are absolutely necessary for
Democratic success next year, it
may be interesting for the Demo-
Gratis of the country to know the
kind of Democracy that must con-
troll in the State of New Jersey next
year If we would win that State.
An illustration drawn from the
last Congressional election in that
State las, year will suffice to give
them this Information. In one of
the Congressional districts that was
Democratic, the Democrats nomin.
a,ed man named De Witt Clinton
Flanagan, a man of wealth, refine.
ment, culture and social distinction.
He represented only those things
that Republicans like and of which
they are not afraid. He was in
dorsed by Grover Cleveland, who
lives in his district, and who made
speech for him, the first he had
made since his retirement from the
presidency. Notwithstanding all
this and the further fact that Mr..
Flanagan spent large sums of
money, he was defeated.
On the other hand, in another
district that was normally Republi-
can by about 1000 majority, and
in which the Republicans nominated
the millionaire thread manufacturer.
Barbour, and in which the Demo
cratic nomination went begging, the
Democrats won a splendid victory.
After the nomination in this district
had been declined by number of
Democrats, young Democrat
named William Hughes, a LAWYER
without money, but with character
and brains and real Democracy,
| accepted the nomination as a mat
ter of party honor. He announced
from the beginning of the campaign
that he had no money with which
to buy votes, and said he did not
want vote that had to be pur-
chased. He also said that If he
were elected it would mean a real
democratic triumph and slap in
the face of monopoly and trust do
mination and the rule of the preda.
tory rich. He roundly denounced
all those things from start to finish
OF the campaign, and the result was
that he was elected by the honest
men of the district by 5000 MAORI
ty, change of 5000 votes in the
district
That should teach the Democrats
of the country that if they hope to
carry the State of New Jersey in
the next presidential election they
must nominate man for president
who stands for the things and
the kind of Democracy that
Chilly" Hughes stands for or
they may as well hang their harp on
willow tree. A look over the
field of men mentioned for the
nomination on the Democratic
ticket will discover to the acute OBJ.
server of the times the man who
fills the bill.

Senator Elkins has lost his fight
for place on the Finance Commit
tee, Penrose, of Pennsylvania, hav-
ing been selected for the Republic
can vacancy on the Senate's most
important committee. Penrose,
however, had the advantage of
Elkins in having been made mem
Der of the special committee that
filed vancancies on committees,
and naturally took the best in sight
for himself. Senator Elkins volun-
tarlly withdrew from the postoffice
committee and his place was taken
by Senator Scott. Elkins during
the Fifty eighth Congress will retain
the Craftsmanship of the committee
on interstate commerce, as we'll as
his place on commerce, rules, civil
service and one or two minor COM
mittees. Senior Scott is endeayor-
ing to secure better craftsmanship
than the one he now holds on mines
and mining, but he is outranked on
every committee of which he is now
a member and may not be able to
make the change. In addition TO
this committee and postoffices, he
will remain on public buildings,
military affairs, pensions and several
minor committees.
