Rev. Mr.. Walker is pastor of the
Presbyterian Church at Wcllsburg,
but will probably not hold that po-
sition very many more decades. He
is said to be in the habit of using
decidedly plain and unchastc Ian
guage in his sermons. Recently he
took for his text a portion of Joseph's
life in Egypt, and his language was
such that charges of unclean lam
guage have been preferred against
him. He says he will not resign,
and that he will express his own
ideas in his own words.

James Ecker was placed in the
county Jail, at Greensburg, last Mon
day morning, charged with the muir
der of his mother. The crime was
committed last October, when becom-
ing enraged at his mother, it is al
legged he kicked her. She died from
the effects of the injuries received at
that time The Coroner's Jury. on
the 22nd of October, agreed upon a
verdict charging Ecker with the
murder of his mother, and warrant
was issued for his arrest. Ecker
sent out the word that he would
shoot the first man who attempted to
arrest him, and up to the time of his
arrest evaded the officers of the law.
After much trouble he was finally
caught and taken to Jail, where he
will await trial.

1t is estimated that about 1900
miners and coke drawers attended
mass meeting held in Uniontown on
the 9th ult., to consider the present
situation of the strike. A number
of speeches were made, and they
came to the firm conclusion that the
advancement asked must be paid
before they resume work. The vast
assemblage was in every way orderly,
and seemed to mediate seriously
upon the project.

The most daring and ingenious
burglary we have heard of for some
time, was perpetrated at the resi-
dence of Thomas Westbrook, Hunt
ington, Pa. Mrs. Westbrook, being
alone in the house, was decoyed to a
distant part of the city by a false
note delivered by an unknown lad
which represented that her sister
was dying. After realizing that she
was duped she FASTENED home to
find her residence broken into and
robbed Of $1,000 mostly in $40 gold
pieces, which had been secreted in
an old trunk for fifteen years. Gold
watches and other valuables in the
trunk were not molested. No clue has
been obtained to the guilty par
ties.

Although the coke operators claim
their striking employees are daily re-
Stunning work in larger numbers, the
shipments of coke over the railroads
remain extremely small and furnace
men are daily forced to bank their
furnaces or adopt other fuel to keep
them running. The New Castle fur
mace was yesterday forced to close
down ON account of the coke famine;
the Clinton furnace was banked for
the same reason; the Isabella and
Alice furnaces are also banked for
want of coke and the Braddock fur
naces are economizing their supply
of Connellsville coke by using so per
cent. of coke made from washed
Pittsburgh coal together with it.

Rev. Mr.. Armstrong, who used to
preach eloquent sermons in Wheel

himself by looking and acting like
Junius Brutus Booth, is now ON trial
in Atlanta, Ga, for immoral conduct.
He went up to Cincinnati last sum
mer, and in that gay and festive city
became little too gay and festive
himself; at least that is the charge.
His trial is attracting much atten-
tention, for he is man of unusual
ability, and his future usefulness
depends upon the decision of the
jury now sitting on his case.

Among all the literary papers of
the country, none have reached the
degree of excellence attained by the
New York Ledger. With age it
seems to improve, or at least it's
readers become more attached to it.
Its stories are of the highest class,
none but the best are admitted to
its columns. Every week Mr.. Bon
ner gives some good solid editorials
on current matters. Its scientific,
and answers to correspondents de-
partments are up to their old stand
ard. For the coming year we can
vouch for its old time excellence.
Subscription price, the same as here
tofore. Send 81 and get the Ledger
a year. More entertainment, more
instruction and more amusement
can be had from it than you can get
with the same money any other way
we can think of at this time.

physicians of Morgantown WAS DR..
Charles McLane, who located in the
town in 1923, and continued his prac-

ST. LOUIS, May S1.-On good authority
it is stated here that for some time past a
syndicate has been formed in New York for
the purpose Of buying up enough of the
coal pits in southern Illinois to control the
entire output, both as to quantity produced
and the rates at which the mines shall be
operated. A gentleman who is
an extensive and well-known operator
states that over 100000 has al
ready been placed in bank for initiating the
operations OF the capitalists 1t is under
stood that the present operators are gener-
ally willing to cooperate with the enter
prise, as it will result in uniform rate OF
mining and selling coal, and will check the
present system of cutting rates. 1t is said
that among other capitalists interested in
the scheme are Jay Gould and Russell Sage.

unwarrantable. The Canadians have
already obtained the advantage, having
captured two vessels while the United
