town. The election resulted in a majority
of fourteen votes in favor Of the saloon
ticket. One person has been arrested for
violating the election laws.
Numerous arrests have been made In
this vicinity by the deputy fish commits

POULTRY SHOW
ATTRACTS ATTENTION
Chicken and Turkey Papers An Over the
Country are Boosting Poultry
Meeting Here.

The approaching meeting of the West
Virginia Poultry association in this city
is attracting considerable attention in va
roius parts of the country and some com.
ment by the press particularly interested
in that line. The Poultry Gazette, of
Topeka, Kansas, has the following to say
on the subject:
The West Virginia Poultry association
will hold its show ut Clarksburg Jan
uary G.s, 1904, with w. G. Ellison, of
Wilmington, Ohio, as Judge. This is the
third show to be held by this association,
and we believe the fourth ever held in
the state. No where in the United States
is interest in poultry raising growing
faster than in West Virginia at the pres
ent time. Recently the association re-
duced entrance fees, abolished cash pre-
miums, and renewed its faith in the
score-card show. Quite number of Sill
yer Cups, together with other premiums
with more or less value, have already
been secured any every assurance is man
ifcsted that the Clarksburg show will
be hummer this year. The officers are:

burg; II. D. Corrcll, secretary treasurer,

DEATH OF
]. N. LAYMAN.
ANNOUNCED IN TELEGRAM RE.
cEIvED FROM BALTIMORE
THURSDAY MORNING BY
RELATIVES.
Was Patient in Johns Hopkins Hos
pital, Where Is Went to Receive
Treatment fo- Serious and
Dangerous Throat Trouble.

A telegram was received by relatives
here Thursday morning containing the
sud news of the death of j. NJ. Layman,
which occurred in the Johns Hopkins hos
pital at Baltimore at an early hour
Thursday morning.
Mr.. Layman has been suffering for
some time with dangerous and peculiar
throat trouble. Some time ago his
friends sent him to the Johns Hopkins
hospital TO undergo an operation for the
disease. It was hoped that the medi-
cal treatment he would receive at the
hospital would help him. The disease
had reached a serious stage and the doc.
tors here had given up all hope for his
recovery.
Mrs. Layman was at her husbands
bedside when the end came. Mr.. Lay
man is survived by his wife, two chill
dren and one brother and one sister. The
brother is Samuel Layman, the cigar
manufacturer of this city, and the sister
is Mrs, w, +, Meredith, of Wolf Sum
nit, formerly of this city.
The deceased was well known in this
city and county. He was one Of the
proprietors of the Florentine hotel re-.
Gently, and prior to that time he owned
and conducted the Hub restaurant on
Fourth street.
Nothing further than the mere an
nouncement of his death was contained
in the telegram received here. 1t is
thought the remains will arrive here
Thursday evening or Friday. Upon the
arrival of the remains they will be taken
to the residence on Clay street and the
funeral will occur from there.

JONAH FOR

MoNoNGAH DIVISION OF B. 4 o.
RAILROAD PROVES TO BE
THESE DAYS.
Coal Hoppers Leave Track at Hanfng
and Roll Into the Waters of the
West Fork River.-Traius De-
layed Several Hours.

The Monongah division of the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad is getting its name
up as Jonah, and has had within the
past few days more wrecks than the
Inflated Short Line ever had in like Pc
riod. In addition to those previously re-
ported from day to day, in quick sue.
cessicn, one happened at Haning early
this morning. Haning is a small station
between Farnum and Meadowbrook, and
is on the river bank. A freight train
without very much difficulty, succeeded
in dumping three coal hoppers into the
river and landing another alongside the
track. They were all loaded with coal,
and, of course, the contents went into
the river too.
The Pittsburg flyer took the round
about route via Grafton, such as the Wa
bash win not have TO take on account
OF the Pittsburg, Elk and Southern Rail
way company's route being SO much more
direct. The passenger train from Fair
mont was also hung up and did not get
in until 1885 o'clock, just in time for
the passengers to get to the hotels be-
fore the daily rush, But most of the
passengers who were on the train when
it came to stop on the layout were
transferred und brought in earlier. The
eompany's loss is small. but the coal
company loses most of the coal.

the power of her lungs, and her rapid,
short breathing evidenced the fact that
the race she was making was prompted
only by maternal affection.
