AWFUL ACCIDENT.
PROMINENT MASON COUNTY FARMER
SHOOTS HIMSELF.

Word has been received here to
the effect that J. T. Holley, prom
inent farmer in the lower end of this
county, is in very serious condition
at his home as the result of an acci-
dent which occurred Saturday. Hol-
ley is not expected to recover. A
shot gun which he was carrying was
accidently discharged and one of his
arms was blown of close to the
shoulder and his body badly lacerated.
Holley, together with the other
farmers had been worried by dogs,
strange animals which were reported
to be suffering from hydrophobia.
Saturday morning one of these made
a savage attack on some of Holley's
stock, biting number of cows and
so severely iniuring one hog that it
had to be killed.
The farmer was not at the house
when the affair happened, but on his
return he secured a double barreled
shot gun and went on the trail ofthe
dog. While going along the path
the dog was known to have taken,
Holley found it necessary to climb
high fence. Instead of putting the
gun across the fence first and then
climbing over it, he essayed to hold
the weapon while going over the bar
rier. 1t was during this operation
that the gun was discharged. HoIley
was found in very short time by
persons who heard the report of the
gun but not until after he had been
very much weakened by the loss of
blood.

general plan ofthe expedition, which
is to assemble and initiate the airship
at the headquarters station, Danes

July and to start thence northward
through the air in August, provided
the weather conditions make a start
practicable with reasonable change
for success. The airship to be used
is the America, " which had trial
in a voyage of about go miles at
Spitzbergen year ago, last Septem-
ber.
The owners of the Chicago Record

nearly ten tons, has beenreconstruct-

REV. I.H. GIBBONS
HAS ACCEPTED A CALL TO ASHLAND.
KENTUCKY.

Rev. j. H. Gibbons, Rector of
Christ Episcopal Church of this city,
has accepted call to Ashland, Ken
tucky.
Genuine regret is heard on all
sides that this popular pastor has
felt impelled to sever his connection
with the church here and enter upon
a new field of evangelical labor.
Whilst the change is in the nature,
of distinct promotion and the very
aattering offer received could not in
justice to himself and family be ig-
nored, his many friends here, both in
and out of his church, are none the
less grieyed to lose him.
Rev. Gibbons is an untiring work.
er, and the splendid attributes of.
mind and heart, which have endear-
ed him to the people here, will un-
receive their greater re-
ward in the larger sphere of action,
to which he has been called. Both
he and his estinable family viii be.
sadly missed.

BAND CONCERT LAST NIGHT.

The Band Concert given at the
Opera House by the Point Pleasant
Band last night was an excellent one,
although the attendance was quite
small. The program called for twelve
numbers, two of which were vocal
solos.
Charley Howard sang. Storm
King and the "TOreador' Love
Song" was rendered by C. K. Black
wood, both of which numbers re-
ceived great applause.
This band was organized about one
year ago and some of its members
have had less than three months
practice, so great deal of praise is
due them for their accurate playing
as shown by last nights performance.
The Band has membership OF
twenty-five and bids fair to rival
some of the crack bands of the state
with little more practice.
Quite a crowd came up from
Gallipolis to attend.
