Silver Excitement at Fairchance.

Unionsown News.l
Homer and John Snee, George
Hughes and Mr.. Reed, all of Eliza
beth, with their attorney, visited
Fairchance yesterday and consum-
mated lease of 1913 acres of land,
upon which has been recently found
silver and lead ore. Under agree
ment, the work of developing the
territory will be begun at once. The
territory is now owned by Messrs.
Lowe, Nixon and Snider, who will
aid in its development. 1t is located
about six miles north of this place,
and portions of the blossom rock
which have been analysed by chem
lists in Philadelphia, New York and
London have been pronounced valu-
able.
About six months ago Mr.. Lowe
sent quantity of the rock to Lon
don chemist Last week he received
from the London gentleman an anal
ysis which showed it to contain
three tenths per cent. silver and four
tenths per cent lead, with other val
liable ingredients. The English
party have had agents travelling all
through our mountains for the past
week, and it is generally believed by
him secured options in all the sur
rounding country.
They have been working about
mysteriously, and have succeeded in
working up considerable excitement
at Fairchance and that neighbor-
hood. The report that move was
on foot to develop the Lowe tract
created considerable excitement in
this place, as a local chemist who
examined rock from the place pro-
nounced it to be worth SIS per ton,
and many local spectators were
watching the tract with view to
investing their money in it.
Eyes, we have leased the Lowe
property" said one of the Snees to a
Ners representative last night.
I'VE are satisfied that silver and
lead in paying quantities are hidden
there, and he will at once begin
work to find it. We now have the
property under guard, and before the
first week in June we expect to have
men at work mining the ore. II
there is silver in these mountains
we will find it."

HE FOLLOWED THE FAKIR.
William Kincaid Receivers His Money ut
BelIaire, Ohio.

Special Correspondence Of the Nzw DOMINION:
BELLAIRE, O., May 4.-William
Kincaid, whom the fakir roped in to
the tune of S505 when the Great
Eastern Menagerie' was at Morgan
town, arrived yesterday and had the
chap arrested this morning. He was
tried this afternoon. The justice,
after hearing the evidence, decided
to send the fakir to Jail to await a
requisition from the Governor Of
West Virginia. Upon hearing this
the three card monte man weakened
and compromised; he agreeing to re
fund the money and Kincaid to pay
costs of prosecution. There was
some awful lying by some people in
that trial. 1t was a very exciting
case and formed the topic of CONVEX
sation throughout the afternoon and
evening.
This swindling business is nat
ural consequence of old man Kin
caid's ignorance. He says that he
does not take any newspapers and
had never heard Of this sharp game
which is older than the hills.
Kincaid acted under the advice of
Prosecuting Attorney Jordon, of
Wheeling. The trial was before
Squire Roeder. of this city.
Wednesdays Bellaire Independent
gives the following account of the
same matter:
The arrest of one of the showmen
yesterday on charge of William
Kincaid for swindling him out of
$505 at Morgantown, w. Va, at
tracted a big crowd about Justice
Roeder's Court yesterday, and each
stage of the case was watched with
interest by the throng. The fellow
under arrest was William Erret, who
ran the punch and Judy" side
show, and he played his part remark
ably well cried and bemoaned his ar
rest most pitifully, saying it was the
first time he was ever under arrest;
that he was a Mason, an Odd Fellow
and member of the G.. A. r. In
fact everything he could put forward
to excite sympathy he did, and for a
time the crowd seemed to sympa-
thize with him; but when the old
man went upon the stand and told
how he had been passed into the
show, then into an ante room by "a
friend" whom he had never seen be
fore nor since, and how this friend
had taken his $3.50 and played il
with "this man"--meaning the one
under arrest-and had won $3.50 fol
him, telling him there was $500 now
coming to him, but he would have tt
play another round to get the money
and induced the old man to go ant
borrow $3.50 more to play with, ant
then how suddenly .'his friend" hat
lost it all and "this man" 9TH,
one under arrest) had pocketed thu
money, there was no doubt about tn,
old fellow having been a victim o
misplaced confidence, and the hear
ing was concluded the Court wa.
about to bind Errett over to Court
when some of his pals stepped in
paid Kincaid's S505 and secured th,
release of the culprit. Messrs. J. B
Smith and James M. Rees appeared
for the showmen, and James F. An
derson and John F. Kelley for Kin
caid. 1t was most fortunate thin,
for Kincaid that he sured the return
of his money, for there is not on
case in a hundred turns out tina
way and the old man was exceeding
ly happy. He became very positive
in identifying the man, and the sc
quel shows that the fellow was Their

Organized Trades and Labor Unions
Of the United States and Canada
met in Chicago and adopted reso-

should constitute a days work after

leave the city as soon as he is able
