THE RAlLROAps Will ASSIST


In Making the Fair Big succesE-AnotheF
Special Attraction Secured.
All the railroads that run into this
city are making extensive preparations
to handle the big crowds Of peoplewho
are coming to this city next week to at
tend the big fair. The Fair Association
has been advertising as 1t never has be-
fore; there Is hardly a settlement in this
State that has not had the handsome
printed matter provided by the Associa.
tion, prominently displayed in its public
places for weeks past, and the same can
be said OF the towns in Ohio and Penn
sylvania, for many miles around. Its
attracLiveness has caught the eye OF the
populace, aud the attention thus attract.
ed has, In thousands Of instances, shaped
itself into a resolve to attend the fair.
The newspapers OF the surrounding
towns have helped the work along by
numerous references TO the many splen-
did features that will be found at the
fair, and the railroads have contributed
with their posters announcing special
trains and rates.
The Baltimore & Ohio people have
gotten out a very handsome poster for
the event. This company will run al
special train out Of here as far as Man
nington every day Of the fair, leaving
here at Q o'clock. This will enable those
living between hero and Mannington 10
come in on the regular trains in the
morning, spend the day here and re-
turn to their homesin the evening. Ar
rangements have been made by all the
roads to have extra cars provided for
the Wheeling end Of their lines 80 that
they will be In position To transport all
the people who want to come to the fair.
The Ohio Riverroad people have been
doing an enormous lair excursion busi-
ness Of late. Last week they had their
hands full handling the crowds which
attended the Point Pleasant fair. This
week the New Martinsville and Parkers-
burg fairs have kept them busy. Next
week they expect 10 do an excursion
business that will eclipse anything they
have done heretofore, and that means d
great deal.
The Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling,
tuH OltNelAuu " ElLtbuuTRu huu Jub
"Pewiky" are all anticipating rush OF
people. Thousands are looked for from
out the Hempaeld branch.
Mention was made a few days ago OF a
special exhibit OF Dutch Belted cattle, q
breed but lately introduced In this coun-
try by Mr.. William ]. Parshall, Of Nc.
Clellandtown, Pa. Arrangements were
concluded yesterday for another special
exhibit, a herd OF deer, owned by Mr..
Edmund Holdren, Of Grape Island, this
State, consisting Of lawns, yearlinga and
pair Of mature Missouri deer. These
win bc attractions OF interest 10 all
visitors at the Fair, whether specially
interested In live stock or not, and the
Association deserves credit Tor It's enter
prise.
The programme for the bicycle races
at the lair Is as follows:

Connellsvilie Region.
PlTTsBuRoH, Pa, Sept. 5.-The coke
production for the past week is within
8 per cent Of the greatest weeks output
in the coke region. This is said to be
partly due to the fact that one firm now

When all the ovens arc running II
Is said more coke will be sent out
weekly than was ever known before.
The hrst Of October will see the price
advanced from the present price 81 35 TO

Murder was Intended In the Conspiracy
Against Robert Ray HAMILTON.
NEW YoRK, Sept. 5.-Developments in
the case of Robert Ray Hamilton and
the gang Of conspirators who preyed
upon him by means Of $40 baby which
they alleged was his, were meagre yes
terday, but such as they were they tend
ed to show that the full depth ofyillainy
involved In the plot was even Beyond
that indicated by the story given out by
Inspector Byrnes on Tuesday night. u
is now probable, To say the least, that the
plot was directed not only against Mr..
Hamilton's happiness, but against his
life as well, and the ultimate object Of
the sharpers was to induce him to make
a will In favor OF the child and then get
rid Of him. Assistant District Attorney
jerome said yesterday afternoon after
the hearing in the case OF Josh Mann
and Mrs. Swinton had been adjourned
until Friday: III those people had been
lot alone they would have made Hamil-
ton make q will to suit them, and then
have killed him." Inspector Byrnes
and Mr.. Clarke, counsel Tor Mr.. Hamil-
ton, refused to talk Of this aspect OF the
case further than TO say that II would be
a difficult thing to prove such fac! in
connection with the case unless II should
turn out that Mr.. Hamilton had really
been induced by hegang to make q will.
