Death Under Suspicious Circumstances.
A young colored man named David Fra
zier died suddenly last night under such
suspicious circumstances that IL is probable
that a coroner's jury will be summoned to
investigate the cause of death. The man
was drinking in a saloon with several COM
panions early in the evening, and short
time after he went out he was found lying
in an unconscious condition in the street.
He was taken into house. where he died
within a half hour. The case was reported
at the station house and notice was given
TO Coroner Purvis.- 1t was thought that

Ten People Injured in New York Fire.

Ten persons were injured and a quarter
of a million dollars worth of property de-
stroyed as the result of explosions caused
by spark leaping from a gasoline, ma
chine on which a chauffeur was working
in an automobile garage in New York yes
terday. Forty automobiles were destroyed
or badly damaged, and so rapid was the
the second story of the building had no OPP
portunty to escape by way of the stair
ways, and We're forced to leap from the
windows.
The spark which started the fire commu-
nicated with a tank holding 100 gallons of
gasoline. There were forty-five automobiles
in the building, but the dense smoke pre-
vented the rescue of most of them. The
100-gallon tank exploded soon after the fire
started and spread the flames to other
tanks and in short time there were ten
distinct explosions filling the building with
fire and smoke.

CAPT. PINE GETS
A NEW TRIAL

Saturday the judges of the
Court of Appeals decided the case
of the State against Capt. Pine,
upon an appeal from the judy
ment of the Circuit court of this
county, in which Pine had been
found guilty of raising an order
issued in the name of Bently &
Gerwig from So to some $24O. The
court granted Pine a new trial.
We cannot ascertain what caused
the court to reverse the judgment
of the lower court. A prominent
attorney says it was reversed be-
cause the plaintiff which is
really the City of Sistersville-al-
lowed the suit to 60 by default.
In such cases as this the prose-
cution should be represented by
the Prosecuting Attorney in the
Circuit court. Having an incom-
petent prosecutor the city employ
ed other counsel to prosecute the
case at a cost of 1925 to the tax
payers of this city. Pine was
found guilty and appealed the
case. In the higher court the At
torney-General, who is Romeo H.
Freer, prosecutes criminal cases.
It is said he wrote to the city at
torney for advice as to what was
to be done in the appeal case,
| and the city attorney answered
that he would file a written brief
and attend to the case. Unless a
written brief is filed this court
will not allow an oral argument

ANOTHER FIRE.
MEMS CARNIVAL

fore, and more money will be
made by the fireman than if the
attractions were placed on the
public thoroughfares. The fire
men deserve the patronage of ev
cry citizen and will. receive it
without any doubt, and we pre-
dict that the fall carnival will be
the grandest and most successful
one ever held in the Ohio Valley.
The Ohio Valley and West Vir-
ginia Volunteer Firemen s associa-
ton was organized in this city
two years ago with Mayor Lynn
Kirkland president, and since that
time the association has grown,
and now is composed of more than
thirty cities and towns along the
border of the two States.
At the regular meeting last
year this city, through the efforts
of Messrs. Lynn Kirkland, Jos.
Magner and Frank Wagner, was
given the convention for 1904, and
the Sistersville Fire department is
permitted to select the date for
holding the meeting. Therefore,,
the convention will be in session
September 13 and IA, the grand
firemens parade will be on the
18th and the banquet to the visit
ing firemen on the same evening.
At the last session of the cOnven-
tlon, held in Salem, O., 21l dele
gates were present, and 1t IS eK-
pected by those interested that
more than 500 will attend the 1904
convention.
The appointment of all commit
tees was left with the president OF
the department, and they will be
announced in the Oil Review at
later date.
Hurrah for the fremen, the car
nival and the convention.

The Sistersville Fire depart
ment met yesterday in the parlors
Of the E. Wells hook and ladder
company and after a lengthy ses-
sion elected the following officers
to serve for the ensuing two
years:
President-Robert L. Gregory.
Secretary-W. E. Doran.
Treasurer-E. B. Clawson.
Executive Committee-O. G.
Guyton, Frank Wagner, Mart Adj
ans, Frank Brumley, T. H. King
and VIM. Gruber.
After the election of the above
named gentlemen the question OF
holding a carnival and firemen s
tournament in connection with
the annual convention of the Ohio
Valley and West Virginia Volun-
teer Firemens association was
discussed, and it was unanimously
decided that one should be held
and the date fixed was September
II to II.
A committee composed Of E. B.
Clawson, John Reedy and W. E.
Doran was appointed to act with
the president in securing the best
carnival company on the road, and
the committee will at once make
the proper arrangements.
The department, as is known to
everyone, is the finest in the State
and the funds to be raised will 60
into the treasury to purchase
equipment and defray the ex-
penses of the convention and
tournament. The weeks entertain
ment will be held on the carnival
grounds, and nothing will be per-
mitted on the streets or alleys IN
the city. This is a much better
idea than has been adhered to be-

R. Kerr had gone to Chicago to at

to be made, and so, when the case
was called no printed brief being
filed, the city was not allowed by
it's attorney to argue the case.
1t is further said that Attor-
ney Staples, attorney for Pine,
asked the court to allow the city s
counsel permission to make an
oral argument, but the court re-
piled as no printed brief had been
filed he had no right to speak, and
he was not allowed to make an
argument, only in trying to get to
make a speech. So the city and
State was not represented, and
the case went by default. We say
this is our information, and If it s
not correct we are ready and only
too anxious to publish a true his
tory of the case.
1t is estimated Pine took some
$4,000 from the city. The city
has paid out for counsel fees and
witness fees over $1,000 to have
him prosecuted, and as the matter
now stands he will be let out on
bail, and the good Lord only
knows when another trial will be
had.
Why is this2
It's all summedup in few words
its the dirty politics we have
here. Incompetent men are elect
ed to office for party ends, and for
no other purpose. When our vot-
ing people decide to stop the boss
ism we are now ruled by, things
will be different-and not before
