SEN. MONTGOMERY
Resigns His Position to Take
the Stump for Repub-
Iican Ticket.

The resignation OF Sam Montgom-
cry is verified by the Charleston
Mail, which says:
Senator Sam Montgomery, OF
Preston county. who has been em-
ployed in the Office of State Tax Com
missioner White for the past two
months, has rendered his resigna-
ton as an employe of that depart
ment of the state government.
Senator Montgomery is an able
speaker and as his entire time will
be consumed on the stump this fall
working for the success of the whole
Republican ticket, he felt that 1T was
necessary to resign as an official of
the tax department. The Preston
Senator will make an extensive tour
through the several counties of the
state, many requests being made to
the state committee for his services
during the campaign, which will open
on the 18th of the present month";"

INDEPENDENCE
LEAGUE AFFAIR
Thousands of Democrats Are
Disguised With Bryan and
McGraW Bossism.
CONSIDER MASS MEETING
And One Will Likely Be Called
Within Short Time to
Make Nominations.

A new state ticket will in all prob
ability be placed in. the field for the
Fall election.
Disguised with the Bryan-Bennett-
McGraw-Neil methods OF gubernator-
ial campaigning. frightened over the
weakness of the candidate for COVER
nor and unable to swallow the Billy
Bryan brand OF bossism, several
Thousand Democrats in West Virginia
are now interested in we'll defined
movement to nominate new Inde-
pendence League state ticket. 1t is
the intention to indorse the national
Independence League ticket. headed
by Higsen for president and Graves
for vice-president.
The agitation that is now on for
this new state ticket is not mere talk
INDUCED in by the numerous dissat-
isfed Democrats. but is given SUBJ
stantial basis by large number of
mail and telegraphic communications
that have passed between leaders OF
the anti-Bryan-Bennett faction, q
faction that has considerably grown
in numbers within the last three
weeks.
Besides the dislike of the candi-
dates that head the gubernatorial and
national tickets, there is deep-seat-
ed resentment among the iIndepend-
ence Leaguers Of the nonchalant man.
ner In which the leaders of the old
Democratic party are conducting the
present campaign. They are said to
be sitting in chairs idly waiting for
the campaign to run on practically ry
itself. while the Republican ticket is
reaping the benefit of their inaction.
Another reason set forth is that
whenever the old Democratic party
leaders 90 anything, 1t is in the inter-
est of the little clique that has been
(hogging and bossing the state Democ-
racy for years and no regard what
ever is paid to the rank and file of
the party.
1t is understood that a paper is go
ing the rounds now bearing the plans
for the calling of a mass state con-
vention to be held within two or
three weeks for the purpose of plac-
ing the new ticket in the field upon
petition.

CARS
ARE HUNG UP
Falling Stack Breaks Wires
lust As Crowds Go
to Fair.

The success of the new state fair
seemed doomed third time when
a disastrous accident happened at the
Adamston street car barn Thursday
shortly afternoon.
In removing one of the smoke stacla
of the old power house, which burned
this spring, part of the stack fell on
the trolley wires, shutting off all
power from the line, and bringing the
whole local street car system to a
,standstill.
Thousands of people were left in
the center of town waiting to get out
to the fair grounds. and for time
a considerable degree of blueness was
felt by the management of both the
traction company and the fair asso-
citation.
All sorts OF vehicles were soon
pressed into service, the Clarksburg
Transfer Company sending several of
its wagons out to help get the crowds
to the grounds but only few We're
able to get into the wagons. A num-
Der walked. especially those who We're
left in the cars which stopped on their
way to the grounds.
Considerable relief, then, was felt,
when at $3.50 o'clock cars again start
ed, the officials having pushed mat
tiers and getting the break repaired
in phenomenaly short time. The
attendance of the afternoon was ma
terially, though not seriously, affected
by the delay.

DR.. CUMMINGS
BODY BURIED
In the Cemetery at Sardis-
General Sadness Over
His Death.

The body of DR.. E. II. Cummings,
who died Thursday morning at tho
home of DR.. DeForest on Main street
of typhoid fever. was taken to Sardis
Friday morning and buried with SER
vices in the cemetery there.
In the death of DR.. Cummings. the
medical fraternity has lost one OF its
most skilled members and Clarks-
burg one of its best citizens. All who
knew the doctor were his friends, and
his genial and cheerful disposition
won the love and respect of all his
intimate acquaintance. His death
brings deep sorrow to not only his
relatives but also to his fellow-mem-
bers of the profession.
DR.. Cummings was the son of Mr..
and Mrs Henry P. Cummings, both of
whom died few years ago, and was
born in Monroe county in 1872.
When quite young he became a
member fthe Baptist church and
remained firm in the faith till the
end. A short time before his death
he declared his readiness to die, and
confidence in his future spiritual well
fare.
He was graduate Of the Baltimore
Medical College. being a member of
the class OF 1902. After his gradua-
ton he began practicing medicine,
opening up an office at Marshvllle.
For four years he remained there, ar
ter which he removed to this city, and
he and his brother-in-law, DIR. Will
liam c. DeForest, opened up an office
in partnership.
Since that time he became O leader
in the profession and was endorsed
by many as one of the most success
full in the profession.
On Angus. is. he became i'll with
typhoid fever, and for time his re-
covery seemed hopeful, but few
days ago his condition became worse.
and in spite of the efforts of the best
medical practitioners that could be
secured, he gradually sank lower and
lower until the end.
Five sisters and one brother survive
to lament his untimely demise. They
are Miss Rose Cummings and Mrs.
DR.. DeForest, of this city; Mrs. Dona
Altizer. Mrs. Callie Altizer and Mrs.
Vida Williams. residing in Virginia.
His father and mother formerly lived
in Roanoke, Va.

Property as the Result
Of Fire.

An lncendiary Is supposed to have
originated u fire on the farm of L. NJ.
Goodwin on Boards Run, ten miles
east of the city, which resulted in
the total destruction of his barn,
granary and corn cribs.
The fire was discovered at II
O'Clock Wednesday night by Mrs.
Goodwin, who called the neighbors to
assist in putting out the fire. but by
that time the whole barn was in
flames. and all efforts to extinguish 1t
were Intellectual.
Two cribs, granary, and hog
pen stood near the barn. and all these
were destroyed. As 1t happened no
stock were In the barn, although sew
eral sets of harness, moving ma
chine, road wagon. and new two
horse buggy were burned. The total
loss Is placed at more than one
thousand dollars, The farm house,
which stood n short distance away
from the barn had slate roof and
was easily protected. Mr.. Goodwin
was not at home at the time, having
been appointed an official of the new
fair. and being obliged to remain in
the city over night in order to attend
to his duties.
No motive is us yet assigned to the
burning, although 1t is strongly sus-
pected that the fire was of incendiary
origin.
The smoke house, which stood in
front of the barn, also caught afire.
but was not seriously damaged. The
coal house was also destroyed.
