Only LabOrcrS LOOKING
For Work.

Two yourg men who gave their
names as Castorph and Noe were
arrested Monday evening by City
Marshal Porter upon information of
gentleman from Graysou, Ky.
The Graysonisn claimed the two
young men had murdered a man in

that they be held until the NJ adison

They were taken To the city lock.
up and kept in durance vile until
"Wednesday morning when Sheriff
Johnson of Madison county arrived
10 the city to identify the prisoners.
The sheriff claimed they were not
the men who committed the murder
and they were immediately dis
charged from custody.
Casdorph and Noe claim to be or
ieinally from Charleston and say
they came to Kenova looking for
employment. To the casual obsery /,
er they present the appearance of

be inclined TO the belief that they

ANT|QUATED HoSTELRY
OLD CEREDO HOUSE
Which Sheltered ThOuS-
andS of Timbermen and
Travellers.

Many have noticed that large old
three-story brick building, at Ce.
redo, located close by the switch
where the cars pass by the main
street, but there are probably few
of the younger people who know
that at one time II was one of the
most important and prosperous
hotels along the Ohio river. 1t
ceased TO be used for that purpose
many years ago, but the older peo.
pie who pass by there yet retain a
vivid recollection of the times when
they were sheltered beneath it's
roof and protected by its spacious
walls. 1t was built-we don't
know when, but some say in ante
bellum deys, when Ceredo was con-
sidered a mighty important town
being the metropolis of Wayne
county.
During the timber season which
at that time was twenty fold more
important than it is now. it was no
unusual thing for the big hotel to
have all its rooms occupied for
several months, and the revenues
OF the proprietor were such that 1t
was big paying affair.
Thousands have been entertain
ed within the old hostelry and were
we'll entertained, too, as its tables
were always supplied bountifully
an d luxuriously. = Catlettsburg
Tribune.
All of the above about the build
ing now known as "Hoard's Brick"
is true. The structure was built in
1853 and was then one of the larg-
est hotels on the Ohio river between
Pittsburg aud Cincinnati.
But, Mr.. Tribune scribe, isn't
Ceredo still "a mighty important
town. and the metropolis of Wayne
county? kenova, however, may
outstrlp Ceredo in population and
Importance In the near future,
bat Ceredo citizens are not one bit
jealous and will rejoice TO see their
sister city prosper and grow.

Section Man Run Down by
b. & o. Train--Head
Crushed Off.

James Frazier, Ii. IL y. section
man, met most horrible and un-
timely death In the kenova b. Il
q. yards last Wednesday afternoon
at 2:l0 O'Clock.
The accident occurred in most
peculiar manner, and one not thor
oughly acquainted with the facts
would be inclined 10 the belief that
the man deliberately committed sui.
eide. But such is not the case, for
from what We were enabled TO learn
from cye-witnesses the young man
came to his death in an accidental
manner.
Frazier bad set a switch at the y
IN order that b. IL -. passenger No.
10 might back down the main line to
the Union depot. After setting
this switch he then walked down
the track few feet aud changed
another on a siding so that a proper
shift might be made IF some cars
which the section crew desired to
use. After doing this Mr.. Frazier
which the passenger train was run
ming In back motion at the rate of
about six miles an hour.
Fellow employees and others saw
the peril in which he was in and
shouted to him, but the noise from
the various engines drowned their
voices. He seemed to have his
eyes fixed on some object further
down the line and seemed to be lost
in deep thought and was perfectly
oblivious of mis- surroundings.
With a dull thud the coach struck
Frazier and hurled him to the track
and before the engineer could be
signaled to stop several wheels had
passed over his head. The entire
top of his head was crushed off, and
fragments of his skull and brains
flew in every direction.
The remains were taken TO the Is.
" o. depot where they lay several
hours before Undertaken X III. Xii.
gore could be SUNNI oned. The BODY
was removed to the decased's home
at this place Wednesday night and
prepared for burial.
Funeral services ware conducted
at the residence Thursday aftern oon
after which the remains were taken
TO the Casey cemetery and inferred.

Il Proposition to Pau Gar Fare.

Much weight is being brought to bear
upon the board of education to have
that.body pay the car fare OF all Kenoya
pupils who attend the high school.
The matter is being agitated consider.
ably and 1t is thought tais would bring
the patrons Of the two towns to closer
relationship In school matters. The
proposition Is to pay the fare Of the
students until n sidewalk is built by
Ceredo to connect with the pavement of
kenova at Kelley's corner. OF course
it is very disrgreeable for those students
who cannot pay their own fare to have
to walk from Kenova to Ceredo during
the stormy weather, and we do not see
why the proposition would not meet
with the approval OF all.
While there has been some dssatisfac.
ilon in regar1 TO school matters of the
district during the past few months, yet
we think everything will be settled
to the entire satisfaction of the citizens
of the two towns. 1t is difficult mat
ter to conduct the affairs of Il school dis
frlct and many persons act before they
give matter the proper consideration
And 1t should also be remembered that
1t is great deal easier to get out on the
streets and run board of education
than il is to go to board meeting and
do so properly. There are many weighty
matters which come up mt each meeting
that take much time and thought to
properly solve, and taking everything
into consideration it may be that those
who are censuring the board now will
be praising it in later years.
The two towns have gotten along ex-
troardinarily well under the present ar
rangement for "a number OF years, and
we see no reason why this relationship
should not continue.
School is about to open again with a
new superintendent and some new
teachers so il behooves all TO get to-
gether and quit knocking" and en-
courage these instructors by boosting
rather than discourage them by grumb.
