GOOD GAMES
ARE ON THE BOARDS FOR THE
| LOCAL TRANSFORMERS
| TEAM COMING.

The strong Cumb erland team will
be here to meet the locals Sunday and
Monday.
This is the same team that Fair
mont broke even with on the occa-
some weeks ago and the contests
should be corkers, inasmuch as the
two clubs are about evenly matched.
Tomorrow the locals will meet
Morgantown at the latter place, and
while Slightly crippled, anticipate no
trouble in taking the game. AS Ed
wards is suffering with badly dam
aged hand, Captain Bero will do back
stop stunts, while Fisher will play
third and Vasbinder middle, with
Drumming pitching.
Manager Slack, first mate of the
Manley,. has sent his lieutenant June
Arnett, to Adena, Ohio, with instruc-
tons to bring Catcher Heath back,
dead or alive. Heath is the man who
caught for Wheeling early in the sea
son and sustained a broken finger,
necessitating his retirement for
awhile. He promised to report here
over week ago but did not show up,
and as he is badly needed now, Arnett
was sent after him.
Fisher, the outfielder, who was Of
cred a trial by Wheeling, will not re-
port to Manager Price until next sea-
son.
Edwards will leave for his home in
Cadiz, Ohio, tonight with the best
wishes of his team mates.

AS no ELECTION MACHINERY

.st3g
Our neighbor seems to be getting a
egreat deal Of comfort out OF a CARRIED
editorial which 1T took from the West
yirginian some weeks ago. A great
many people in this vicinity, who are
recent corners, do not realize what
the Republicans had to contend with
in times past, and SO for their benefit,
and at the request Of one of our val
ued subscribers, we reproduce an edi-
torial which appeared in the Fairmont
Index, the foster mother of the Times,
in the fall Of 1892. The County Com
missioner referred to was Mr.. 3. D.
teemed citizens:
The Recount.
The County Court is now engaged
in the recount of the votes cast for
the office Of County Commissioner
The Court has gone over the returns
and has ascertained the result for
every officer on the ticket except
Commissioner, and the result is stated
in our tabulated statement found in
another column. We have tried to
make this table correct, and it will
be found useful for future reference.
The result on County Commissioner
adding the vote Mr.. Fleming received
on both the Republican and Prohibit
ton ticket gives him majority OF
ten on the face of the returns.
THIS MAJORITY is SO SMALL
THAT 1T CAN EASILY BE OVER
COME BY A RECOUNT. The work
of counting of the votes is very slow,
and it will require several days to
complete it. 1t is understood that Mr..
r. A Fleming, who was defeated on
the face of the returns for the office
of Justice of the Peace of this dis
trict, will demand a recount of the
votes for that office. There has been
no demand for any recount for any
other Office, and doubtless there will
be none, for the majorities are so
large that they could not be affected
by a recount unless some gross irreS-
ularity was found and nothing of that
sort is charged and none exists. The
recount for commissioner will take
at least all of this week.-Fairmont

THE BOMB THROWER
STORY OF THE ASSASSINATION
OF M. PLEHVE, THE RUSSIAN
MINISTER OF THE lNTE-
RlOR, TOLD BY WIT
NESS.

LONDON, July S2s.-The st. Peters
burg correspondent of Reuter- Tele-
gram company gives the following
version of the assassination of NJ.
Plehve, the Russian minister of the
interior:
NJ. Plehve was on his way to
Petershoff about 10 o'clock to make
a report to the Emperor. When his
carriage was passing in front of the
Hotel De Varsevic, which is close to
the ST. Petersburg terminus Of the
Warsaw railway, man suddenly
rushed out of the restaurant which is
attached to the hotel, and hurled a
bomb at the minister's carriage. The
explosion was terrific. The minister
and his coachman were killed on the
spot. The carriage and the horses
which were drawing it we're shatter-
ed into atoms.
The body Of NJ. Plehve was terribly
mutilated. His left arm and both
legs were torn off. The bomb throw
er, despite the confusion, was imme-
diately surrounded and arrested.
Another report has it that two per-
sons were arrested. This report
states that NJ. Plehve was approach
ing the station in carriage when a
motor car drove up with two persons
in it. OF those, one was an official
with the uniform Of the minister of
ways and communications and the
other wore morning dress. AS the
motor passed NJ. Plehve's carriage, one
of the occupants threw a bomb in
front of the horses. 1t exploded and
several bystanders were injured, but
none were killed as at first supposed

TO KEEP PEACE
THE RESIDENTS OF ONE OF OUR
SUBURBS WE'RE NEARLY ALL f
BEFORE JUSTICE BENIN
lNGTON TODAY.

Justice Bennington's Office was the
center of attraction this forenoon.
The case of the State against Will
Slaughter, Minnie >F'ortney, Teen Ell
lis, Jack Campbell and Flo Campbell
came up this morning. These people
live in that suburb Of this city, stu
ated near the Hutchinson-Barns brick
yards, usually called "Shagtown."
This morning that little town was
truly deserted village for all it's in
habitants gathered at the Courthouse.
the above mentioned five to make
them keep the peace. There was no
evidence against the two Campbells
and they We're dismissed. The others
were tried. They were defended by
Attorneys It. N. Parks and E. F. Nor
gan, while Attorney H. c. Grant look
ed after the States side of the affair
The people who gathered to hear the
evidence are Of the opinion that "Shag-
town" is not a very desirable place to
live. From the evidence it seems that
the people fight, shoot, etc, whenever
they SO desire, and it was proven that
one woman had had only three fights
since she came there six months ago.
About twenty-five witnesses were eN-
amined.
The evidence was all taken this
morning and this afternoon the law
yers let the hot air escape. Teen Ell
lis and Will Slaughter were the only
ones bound to keep the peace.

Go After Constable Next.

Several weeks ago a man agreed to
pay the bill OF a boarder at a local
restaurant. The bill was not paid on
time and a warrant was sent to Wood
county, where the man was at the time
working. "A few days ago the man
came to this city on matrimonial bust
ness. When a local constable 7went
to him he showed a receipt that he
had received from a Wood county
constable when he paid the bill. 1t
was supposed that the bill had not
been paid as the Wood county officer
had not sent the money. Now if he
don't send it soon, it will be in order
to send anothe warrant to that coun-
sty. Isa Il "a

REMINiscEN.T a GAIN

We do not believe that anybody IL
West Virginia thinks Henry G.. Davis zig
can carry the State, but there is
feeling among Democrats at some
points outside the State that he can
do SO. 1t is argued by those at q
distance that many West Virginia Re
publicans will support him as matter
Of state pride. We know OF no Re
publicans who talk Of supporting him,
and we know of no reason why any
Republican should support him. There
are reasons though, why he should
think kindly toward Republicans, but
none to suggest that they should re-
ciprocate such feeling. They owe him
nothing, but to them he is largely in
debted for his political prominence
for his seat in the United States Sen
ate. Mr. Davis is not popular among
west Virginia Democrats and never
was. Before and up to- the war Of
the COS he was a Whig. This accounts
for his being in favor of a protective
tariff, which was Wing doctrine. Dur
ing the war he was Union man, and
went to the Legislature at Wheeling,
then the State Capital, as such. "A
Union man then meant Republ1can.
He was a member OF the House OF
Delegates. He tried to succeed him
self at the next election tthe LeSis-
lature held annual sessions then in
stead of biennial sessions as now, but
failed-a better mana better Repuc-
lican-ran against him. This made
him mad, and he commenced coquet-
ting with Democracy The latter then
very weak, many being DISTINGUISHED
for participating in the Rebellion. en-
couraged him to run for State Sena-
tor. and by aid of a personal following
among Republicans he was elected
Then he began setting his triggers
for the United tSates Senate. Most
Democrats were opposed to him as
such candidate, preferring an ex-Con-
federate or a man who had sympathlzed
with the late Confederacy- The Re-
publican legislators, on account OF his
record as a Union man, gave him their
support, and this, with the help of
few Democrats, elected him. By and
by he came up for reelection and was
successful, as he again received the
support OF the Republican members.
While the latter elected him both
times, yet they never got any thanks
for it.. On the contrary, however, they
got their regulations smirched, as the
Democrats who opposed Davis charged
that he bought all of his support-that
he paid $1,000 head for it.
Elected as he was, it was naturally
supposed that he would take a conser-
Native course in the Senate, but in
stead he was as bitter a partisan as
the most rabid Southerner. 1t didn't
pay to vote for him then, and it
wouldn't pay to vote for him in No
vember. 1t never pays to vote for
your political opponents at any time.
By doing SO you weaken and demon
alize your party which is the best and
greatest party that exists or ever did
exist. Davis will run along with his
ticket in this State-will get no more
votes than any other Democrat-and
that he will be buried under a Repub-
lican majority of at least 10000, is as
certain to be the result as it is that
the election will be held on the Sth
day of next November.

and for many years a resident of the
north end of Eureka County, died at
Palisade ON March A. 1904, aged GA
years. Deceased was a carpenter by
trade, but had lately been in the employ

his death he received a notice from the
Pension Office at Washington that his
claim for $4,000 back pension hadbeen
allowed, and the money was to have
been sent him this week. 1t is not

THE STORM.
Eureka Visited by a Southwest Gale
That Does Considerable Damage.

The high wind that arose about mid
night Wednesday increased in fury
until by Thursday DON a hard SOUTH
west gale was sweeping over Eureka,
and for a time brick chimneys, stove
pipes, windows aud fences were play
things in the hands of the elements.
Shortly before 2 o'clock bricks from
n Of the chimneys fell upon the roof
Of the school house and a ONE later
the occupants of the building were
startled by the crashing of glass from
one of the hall windows. A fear was
created that the building was not safe
and school was dismissed.
The Hose House on Mob Hill, opposite
John Hancock's residence, was blown
over. The small frame building, known
as the old Jack Pardy house, opposite
the Hank Knight residence Oh Spring
street, was moved three feet. A corner
Of the brick Ruby Dunderberg building
on South:Main street was blown out.
Two bricks were displaced from under
one of the cornices of the Court House
and fell to the sidewalk. A corner of
the coach house at the E. &. p. depot
was sprung out, and the iron roof of
the powder magazine below the depot
was carried away. Nearly every fence
ia town was leveled. The violence of
the tempest subsidized about $3.50 O'Clock,
but throughout the afternoon and into
the night heavy gusts of wind were Of
frequent occurrence. About 10 O'Clock
Thursday night snow began to fall and
gradually the wind died out. About eight
inches of snow fell. Friday morn
ing dawned clear and bright, but at
noon clouds began to gather and more
storm is indicated as the SENTINEL
goes to press.
