exercised in their Instruction and all

An OLD FRAUD.-A BIT OF MIR. ;"
VIM G. NORRIS REcoRp.-For sew
eral days lately a crazy looking indi
vidual, about half drunk has been
wandering about town, entering res
licences to beg and at night ringing
doorbells and making general nui-
sance Of himself He claims to be
suffering with broken ribs and nu-
merous other troubles, and by his
piteous tales has succeeded in fleece
ing many Of our people out Of small
sums Of money. As a specimen OF
his cheek we may say that he went
to a residence in town and asked for
something to eat. The kind hea rted
lady of the house offered him a sub
stantial meal, when he elevated his
nose contemptuously and directed
her to bring him some eggs and oys-
ters-something that he could eat.
or course he was unceremoniously
shown the door. His chief exploit
seems to have been in Uniontown, rs
witness the following from last week $
Get ias Some days ago William g.
Morris, the old man who was lately
thrown out Of a store at New Geneva
and had two ribs broken, wandered
from the County Poor House, where
he had been staying, into Uniontown.
On last Friday evening he fell in with
John Woods, Cal. Davis and Alfred
Gray all colored. Bent on having a
good time, sthey went into Concert
Hall dining saloon and ordered soup,
the best in the establishment. For
this they refused to pay. Proprietor
Sampsell wasn't going to be swim
died ont of his just dues in this out
rageoas manncr,so officers Pegg, Mar
tin and Kremer were called ara the
quartette marched into the presence
of Mayor Detwiler. Woods was dis
missed and Gray, Davis and Morris
were fined $3.50 each. Morris the
Caucasian, couldn't raise that much
money so he spent the night in the
lookup, Just as happy, perhaps, as If
he dwelt in marble halls.

A MAN KILLS HIS CHILD-The
Clarksburg Aers says: On Monday
night people living in the vicinity OF
the c. d w. r. r. scales were startled
by the cries of woman and the
curses and yells of a man, which pro
eeeded from the house occupied by
Jack Gottrill, and upon investigation
it was found that Cottrill had killed
his child, aged about six years. 1t
seems that Cottrill had an altefca-
ton with his wife and n scufile
ensued between them, during which
the child was struck by its father
and killed. We understand it was
not intentional on the part Of Colt
rill, but he that as may the crime
was committed and should be pun
ished.

DEFEATED BUT NOT DETECTED
The Pittsburgh Dispatch Of last
Wednesday contained the following:
Hon. George e. Sturgiss, of Monon-
gala county, w. Va, was at the
Seventh Avenue Hotel yesterday, en-
route East Speaking Of the failure
Of his county to vote a subscription
for railroad, he said: very much
against my advice, there was pro
position tackled on the original one to
vote $50, 900 toward the building of a
narrow guage road from Blacksmith
toward Morgantown. This | think,
went a long way toward killing the
100000 subscription for a road up
the rive +. However, we do not despair
of success, and in the future not far
off we expect to see a road through
our county. We have in our county
minerals and cereals well worth the
developing influences of a road, and
we must have it,

cannot just such an organization be effected

large cities in the country, and there ought TO
be one here. have spoken to a good many
clerks IN railroad offices here, and all seem to be
in favor of it, and would join as soon as it was
orgaDized. Local organizations of this kind, for
the purpose of enjoy ment and instruction,
Noountry as they are in Great Britain. where
every road has one or more societies OF EN-
lployes, which are heartily encouraged by the
officials; and 1 don't see why one cannot be or
ganiZed here, as there are over 200 or 300
clerks In the railroad offices here. many of whom
would only be too glad to join. Now, If you will
please give this "a little notice in your next edi-

opinion of a few railway officials on the Ques-
tiOn, you will greatly Oblige."
