HE ALLEGES FALSE IMPRISONMENT
Mrs. Annie C. Miller Sues Berkeley
Lime & Stone Co. For $10,000
For the Death of Her Hus
band at Quarries. \
Two important civil suits were fil
ed today with Circuit Court Clerk L.
DeW. Gerhardt, one being the suit of
Joseph E. Munday against Dr. W. E.
Minghini and Constable Thomas T
Demen in the sum of $20,000 each for
false imprisonment, and the other be
ing the suit of Mrs. Annie C. Miller
against the Berkeley Lime & Stone
Co., in the sum of $10,000 for the death
of her husband, C. W. Miller, who was
killed at the Bessemer quarries some
time ago while at work.
The suit of Mr. Mundey against Dr.
Minghini and Constable Lemen is the
outgrowth of some trouble at the Mun
dey bakery about two years ago. Mr.
Mundey was in financial difficulties,
and an attachment was levied against
his effects by Dr. Minghini, owner of
the building. Constable Lemen serv
ed the papers in the case, and it was
alleged that Mr. Mundey offered some
resistance on the ground that the offi
cers had no right to serve the papers
or consummate the order of the court
during the night. As a result of the
affair Mr. Mundey was arrested and
spent the night in in the county jail.
He bases his suit on the charge that
his arrest and imprisonment was not
justifiable. This case will come up at
the next term of the Circuit court,
tand promises to be decidedly inter
esting.
The suit of Mrs. Miller against the
limestone company is the outgrowth,,
of an accident at the Bessemer quar
ries several months ago, which re
sulted in the death of her husband.
Mr. Miller was at work, when a fall
of rock inflicted injuries from which
he died. The plaintiff alleges that
the accident was due to the negligence,
of the company.
Attorney D. W. Snyder represents
Mr. Mundey in his suits against Dr.
Minghini and Constable Lemen, and
Faulkner, Walker & Woods represent
Mrs. Miller to her suit against the
Limestone company.

FATHER DONAHOE TO GO TO
PORTSMOUTH THAT DAY.
Protestants Join With Catholics In
Expressing Regret at Transfer
of the Popular Priest.
Rev. Father Charles E. Donahoe, I
rector of St. Joseph's Catholic church, j
who recently received notice from |
Bishop Van de Vyver to assume the j
rectorship of St. Paul’s Catholic j
church at Portsmouth, Va., stated to
day that he would leave MartlnsbUrg
for the scene of his new labors on
Friday morning next. He will deliver
his farewell Sermon to his congrega
tion here Sunday, but will conduct j
the usual low mass In the church i
I
each morning next week until he de-\
parts.
Bidding farewell to the members of i
his congregation is proving a trying
ordeal to the genial and warm-heart
ed priest. No more sincere testimony
to the deep affection and esteem in
which he is held by the members of
his (lock could be given than that
which has been manifested Bince The
Evening Journal told of his transfer
to Portsmouth. It is a spontaneous
and general regret that speaks elo- j
quently of the worth of Father Dona- !
hoe and the strong bond between him
and his people.
Protestants are joining with Cath- i
olics in their expression of sincere re- j
gret, and Father Donahoe will be
missed by all with whom he has come
into contact during the years of his
pastorate here.

of persons professed faith in Christ
while Mr. Stephens was here.

MAY BE CANDIDATE
Usury G. Davis Makes Significan
Admission In Baltimore.
MAY BUN FOB GOVERNOR OF STATE
West Virginia’s “Grand Old Man”
Also States That He Believes the
Next President Will Be Demo
crat—What He Says.
A special dispatch from Baltimore
says:
Hn. Henry G. Davis, former Uni tee
3tates senator from West Virginia am
candidate three years ago for vice
president of the United States, was ir
Baltimore yesterday. He called upor
President Oscar G. Murray, of tin
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, and upor
President Bush, of the Western Mary
land railroad. Mr. Davis, who it
jwner of the Coal & Coke railroad
extending from Elkins to Charleston
W. Va., has traffic contracts with the
Baltimore & Ohio and Western Mary
land railroads. Hence his visit tc
the presidents of the two companies
Mr. Davis registered at the Hotel
Rennert, and in the dining room ol
that hotel he met former Governoi
John Walter Smith, the prospectiv(
United States senator from Maryland
“I am glad to meet you, senator,'
Said the former governor, "and I an
glad to meet the next senator fron
Maryland,” said Mr. Davis.
"I had the pleasure of voting foi
you for vice-president,” said Mr
Smith.
“Yes,” said Mr. Davis. “The onlj
trouble was that there were no'
enough democrats at that time whc
voted for Mr. Parker and myself U
elect us. It iB coming our way though
Don’t mistake yourselves, gentlemen
The democrats will elect a presideni
of the United States one of these days
and that day is not far distant.”
“Are you still in favor of the nom
ination of Judge Gray, of Delaware
for president?”
"Judge Gray is a most estlmabh
gentleman and would be an ideal can
didate for president and an ideal pres
Ident. I do not think that the Mary
land delegates will favor Mr. Bryai
for president.”
“Will you be a candidate for th<
democratic nomination for governo
of West Virginia next year?”
“Indeed, I do not know. You knov
the people say I am an old man. Ther
has been some talk about my beini
a candidate for governor next year
but next year is in the future. I wisl
you would say for me that the peopl
of Maryland are fortunate in havini
William Pinkney Whyte as their rep
resentative in the United States sen
fifa Vnu lrr»r\xir Mi* nml niKool
are old friends. We served in the sen
ate together, and he was counsel fo
the West Virginia Central Itailwa
Co., with which 1 was connected, a
you know. Some of my friends ea
me the ‘Grtuid Old Man' of West Vit
ginia. I am old, but I do not consid
er myself old. I am what they cal
a ‘young old man,’ for I am still i
harness. Senator Whyte is the ‘Gran
Old Man’ of Maryland, and ho is
young old man, for he, too, is stil
in harness. As I am a native of Mary
land, the state may be said to hav
two grand old men. Mr. Whyte an
myself.”
The burden of his eighty-odd year
rests lightly on ex-Senator Davis. Hi
brisk step, upright carriage and buo
-ant manner seem to jsutify the ofl
expressed belief of his friends tbs
he will live to be a centenarian.
