bling houses are yet in operation about
the city despite the fact that the may.
or has been informed of their pres
ence. Both he and the chief of police
are well aware OF their presence, but
they turn a deaf ear to the demands
Of the people that they enforce the
laws OF the city.
There Is now strong talk of having
both officials impeached. Since they
have been informed Of the presence
OF the daily violation Of the law and
have not taken action and thereby
have violated their oath of Office, the
respectable people Of the city will deal
with them without. gloves.
During his first term Chief-of Police
Scott remained out of the city the
greater part of his time. During the
last campaign the gang promised the
people Of Clarksburg that he would
stay at home and would exercise the
authority Of his Office and that there
would be no law violations.
During the farmer term Of Lafayette
C. Grille for mayor the gambling houses
were operated as they are now and
were never prosecuted by him. He
and the gang promised the good PEG.
pie at the last election that there
would be no gambling.
They have not fulfilled one promise
and refuse positively to listen to the
demands of the people. They are
soon to find that this game which they
are playing will not so with the re.
spectacle people of Clarksburg. The
people are very suspicious of the mo-
tive of the mayor and the chief of
police in permitting the violation of
the law 10 go on with their sanction.

BADLY SCARED
BY POODLE DOC
FIREMAN GIVEN A FRIGHT eY
VISITOR WHICH He THOUGHT
WAS A SNAKE.

PARKERsBURG, Aug. ia most
amusing snake story is being told By
Fireman w. J. Andrews, who has been
spending his annual vacation at Web
ster Springs. Having left Parkers.
burg a few days ago, accompanied BY
his wife and sister, Mrs. w. S. Bar
rett, for a two weeks stay at that
beautiful and healthful resort, his va
cation has been one continual round
Of pleasure until Friday night. Short
ly after retiring he was somewhat
alarmed to hear something crawling
in at the window near his bed some
thing as he says, like the crawl Of a
shake. s''1YlgV!3slrk7
I Surprising at once that this was
one of those monstrous mountain rat
tiers occasionally encountered in that
region, he was panic stricken with
fright, not being armed, not even
knowing just where or how to get a
light. The supposed .rattler very
stealthily made a circuit of the room
while Fireman Andrews heart was
in his mouth and his hair standing on
end. He uttered a shrill cry for help
and finally succeeded in coaxing Mrs,
Andrews to get up and strike a
match. Mr.. Andrews Indian yell
soon brought help and together with
the aid Of Mrs. Andrews they located
the source of all the fright, which
proved to be a harmless pet Poodle,
with chain attached to its neck.
It was utterly bewildered at the
riot is was SO unconsciously causing,
as It was only lost from its owner
and had gotten in the wrong pew.
After his fright Mr.. Andrews calm.
ed down and slept peacefully until
morning, when bidding adieu to his
wife and sister, he boarded the first
train for Parkersburg, declaring he
would spend his next vacation in a
land where rattlesnakes or People
doogs do not exist. The four pounds
of flesh gained in those few days seem
ed have departed during and since
that fight.

CONTEXT BEFORE HE GOT
HOME.

MANCHESTER, Eng. Aug. 49,
An extraordinary incident has Just
taken place at q Russian village.
a man died in the hospital and
twelve hours later his body was car
rled to the church to await the last
rites. A mailman entered the build,
ing, dragged the body ont Of the CONN,
locked it up in q yestment chest, him
self took the place of the dead man
and went to, sleep. Three hours later
the priest and mourners arrived and
the touching orthodox service for the
departed began.
The chanting Of the priest and the
choir, the aromatic perfume Of the In
cense, the sleeping around him,
aroused the sleeping mailman, who
suddenly sat up in the coffin. The
priest fell down dead with fright, and
the congregation fled from the church,
followed by the mailman. The noise
and cries attracted deacon to the
place, who, overcome with grief at see
ing the priest dead, desired to offer
prayer for the repose Of his soul. He
went to the investment chest to get
his robe, and as he unlocked the door
the corpse placed there by the mad
man fell on him, and he sank down in
swoon. A few members of the con-
gregation who had returned, again fled
with cries Of horror.
