The trade of the Morning knock.

Iieious, false and absolutely inconsist.
ent throughout. Mr.. Jacobs could not
possibly have known that the ballots
not signed By both poll clerks would
be thrown out in recount for lie
didn't know there would be a recount
Tae ballots were counted by the cleo.
ton commissioners ana II Mr.. Ilcobs
had been trying to "defraud' the Dem.
oclals ut OF any votes, why would he
not have raised objection at that
time? OF course everybody knows that
the attack was aimed at Mr.. Geo. NJ
Jacobs more than at his brother. Just
why paper, which has been bafri nd.
ed in such a way as the Democratic
sheet here has by Mr.. Jacobs, and his
associates, would continually attack
him is hard for his friends to under
stand. Scarcely an issue OF the Times
gzes out that Mr.. Jacobs is not stack;
ed directly or indirectly, all because
he has been active in politics for some
years and the Democrats have been
the losers most of the time during th4
period. And yet the Times doesn't
make personal attacks, to hear its side
of the story!

disposed OF in October, as appears by
the law order book Of the intermediate
Court. OF the eighteen the, defendant
was found guilty in 10 and was fined
for the offence comm-e;ed. Two cases
weer dismissed because the offence
was committed by an agent and the
principal pleaded guilty and was fined
for the same offence. one was dis.
missed because the witness was dead.
Two were dismissed because the wit.

having ben on the docket since 1905,
and there being but one witness IN the
two cases. Besides these eighteen
cases which were disposed of there
are four or possibly Eve other cases
on the intermediate Court docket
which were not disposed of at the la st

Editor West virginian:
Dear SiE-Your inquiry in yester.
days West virginlan asking when
those 5000 fines imposed on illicit
whisliey sellers are going to be paid
etc." has come to my attention. Per.
nit me to say few words in answer
thereto.
When case is appealed from the
Mayors Court in Marion county to the
Circuit Court it is not tried in the Cir
cult Court, the court to which the ap-
peal is had. Instead it is Certified"
or sent down to the intermediate
Court to be tried there. owing to the
fact that there are but three terms of
the Circuit Court each year it may
often happen that nearly four months
intervene between the date of the ap.
peal and the time the Circuit Court
certiffes the case to the intermediate
Court for trial, and nearly as long a
period more before the intermediate
Court convenes, thus creating a period
OF some seven or eight months which
may elapse after an appeal is taken
before the case can be tried.

Girl INJURED
BY EXPLOSION
SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT HOME OF
MRS. BEN MORRIS THIS MORN.
ING-MISS OLIVE PENDER IS
SCALDED-RoOM WRECKED

An explosion of the water back in
the cook stove at the home of Mrs.
Ben Morris at 9 o'clock this morn
ing resulted in the painful injury OF
Miss Olive Pender, who was hurled
across the room and severely scalded
about the face and arms, complete
wreck of the stove and the blowing
out of the windows and other dam
age the the building.
The explosion was caused by the
closing of the water gates last
night to prevent freezing, and the
building of the fires before the
gates were reopened. Miss Pender
was in the kitchen alone when the
accident occurred, and but for the
timely arrival of Matt Dowd, who
was attracted by the report, would
probably have been seriously burn
ed.
Mr.. Dowd was at home when his
attention was attracted by loud
report. He hastened to the Morris
home, and there found Miss Pender
struggling on the kitchen floor and
blinded by the hot water and ashes
from the stove, while all about her
were the embers of the recent fire
still burning flercely. The young
lady was removed to a place of safe
ty, after which Mr.. Dowd devoted
his attention to extinguishing the
fire.
The stove is a complete wreck,
and pieces of iron have imprints on
the walls, where they were hurled
by the force OF the explosion. The
windows of the kitchen were blown
out and the room generally wrecked.
Miss Pender was placed under the
care of DR.. G. w. Shaft, who made
an examination of the injuries and
dressed the wounds. He reports the
face and arms painfully burned. but
believes none of the wounds are OF
serious character.

Under the present law workman

gross injustice occur, for almost all
