E. M. WILSON IN BRONZE.
The City Of Minneapolis Will Erect q
Statue Of Her Distinguished Son.
Minneapolis Times.

Shortly after the death of the late
Hon. Eugene M. Wilson a meeting
of the Hennepin county bar associa-
ton was held at which committee
of 10 we're appointed to solicit sub
scriptions from the members and
citizens generally for procuring a
bronze bust in commemoration OF
his manly virtues, and as a per-
manent token of the respect in which
his memory is held by his fellow
citizens. At subsequent meeting
this committee designated Thomas
Lowry, j. B. Gilfillan, Samuel Hill,
James W. Lawrence and A. L. An
keny to invite prosposals and select
and contract for such monument as
to them upon full examination
should seem best. This committee
correspondent with many of the best
artists, both of this country and
Europe, both as to terms and charac-
ter of the work, and finally accepted
the design of Mr.. Guernsey Mitchell,
formerly of New York, but now of
Paris. The design contemplates q
full life sized statue cast in bronze.
AS this character of monument is
more nearly in accord with modern
tastes. and the wishes of the imme
date family and friends of Mr.. Will
son, the committee without any hes
itation accepted it. The cost will
be $4,000 with $500 or more perhaps
for properly mounting upon granite
pedestal. The committee feel that
the work will be one not only credi-
table to the genius of the artist who
has achieved fame both abroad and
at home, but will be alike fitting to
the memory of our illustrious citizen
and the city wherein for more than
thirty years he acted such an impor-
tant part The chairman on sub
scriptions is Judge Terrence, and the
treasurer Judge Koon. These gen
tlemen expect to provide fund OF
5000 to cover all contingencies, and,
as the work is now well under way
in Paris, portion of the amount will
be at once required. The statue will
probably be set in place some time
next spring.

Mestrezat's Concert,

The first of the series of winter
concerts by Mestrezat's Orchestra
which was anticipated with so much
pleasure by our music loving people
was given in the lecture room of the
M. E. church Thursday evening, and
was decided success in every par
ticular. The Orchestra discoursed
as usual the sweetest music. The
piccolo solo by c. r. Huston called
forth prolonged applause The Messrs
Mayors rendered their either duet in
a most charming manner, and re.
sponded to hearty encore from the
audience. Miss Madge Brown capti-
waited the audience by singing a solo
in her sweetest manner. Miss Madge
has an uncommonly sweet voice
which is thoroughly cultivated and
those who failed to hear her on this
occasion missed real treat. The
Brass Quartet, Messrs Mestrezat,
Gregg, Minshall and Evanson rem.
dered two selections in a manner
which proved them masters of their
instruments. The two hundred of
our representative people who were
present thoroughly enjoyed the hour
and a quarter spent amid sweet
strains of music.

Connellsville Courier


Railroad rumors are still rife in
the southern end of the county, and
it now begins to look as if the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company meant te
push their Southwest branch right
through to West Virginia About loo

New Geneva and Crows Mill, or

ed in railroad circles that the con
tract for the construction of the State
Line road has been let to Baltimore
parties, and that work on that road
will soon commence.
President Roberts and other off.
Gals of the Pennsylvania railroad
were at Fairchance on Monday. The
object of their visit is not known,
but it is thought that it had some
connection with the extension of the
road south. Division Engineer Byers,
who spent several days last week
looking over the Georges creek route,
gives as reason for beginning work
at that end that it has not been de-
cided whether the road would be ex.
tended from Fairchance, or from
Uniontown by way of York's run,
which route has also been surveyed.
The York's run route passes through
the west end of Uniontown by way
of Walnut Hill and York's run to
Hunters Mill, on Georges creek,
thence to the Monongahela river.

CurbstOne Comment.

"Wonder what Mr.. Grant will say
about electric lights" said a curb
stone orator?
Grant is sensible man." was
the reply, "and even if he thought it
would injnre his gas stock, he is too
much of business man to squeal,
He knows that business is business,
and free competition is the right of
every free citizen of free America. /"
did Mr. Grant" he continued,
consult the coal dealers before bring
ing his gas here, about closing up
their mines? But he closed up their
mines all the same, and there are
thousands of dollars lying unproduc-
tive in the hills above town, and a
score or more of men whose occupa-
ton is gone and their means of sup
port cut off just because Mr.. Grant
brought better article Of fuel into
the market. Nobody squealed. No
body complained of Mr.. Grant. Mr..
Grant did not have any compunc-
tions of conscience about breaking
up the business of these men. 1t was
his right. 1t was business. Now, if
electricity happens to cut down Mr..
Grants income, do you suppose that
he is narrow enough to squeal about
it? Grant is not that kind of hair
pin"
"But the fact is" said the speaker,
'that electricity will not reduce
Grants income from gas. He will
get enough from the electric compa-
ny in furnishing their boilers with
gas to pay for every light he loses,
to say nothing of the general boom
electricity will bring, and the new
uses for gas that will follow.
"There is no rivalry between gas
and electricity" said the speaker.

walked off on his ear.

Five Years in the PenItentiarr,

George and Alonzo Anderson the
two brothers who were tried last
week for the robbery of the Higgins
brothers, near Clinton Furnace, were
sentenced ON Wednesday to five years
each in the penitentiary. There
were but two or three witnes-
ses for the defence while the State
had host of witnesses whose evil
dence proved the Andersons guilty
beyond the shadow of doubt. The
jury went to their room at 2:20 and
returned within half an hour with
a verdict of guilty. His Honor Judge
Hagans then made short work of the
case by at once giving each of the
prisoners five years. The crime was
punishable with Imprisonment for
not less than two or more than ten
years.

Hoaxing the Sportsmen.

Our local sportsmen have been
badly hoaxed this season by certain
newspaper publications of what pur-
ported to be new game law passed
by the last Legislature.
The fact is that the last Legisla.
ture did not pass any new game law
relating to birds. There were some
changes made in the law relating to
fish and to deer, but the alleged new
law that has been published about
partridges and pheasants was not
passed by the last Legislature at all
1t may have been offered and dis.
cussed, but it never passed anything
but the newspapers.
The newspapers alone made that
new law about birds. The Legisla.
rure did not.
Nevertheless it SO e6ectually scared
the sportsmen hereabouts that man
was afraid to be seen carrying a gun
on his shoulder.
1t saved many bird, and there
will be more cartridges this Fall
than there would have been but for
the new game law passed by the
newspapers.
The laugh is on the sportsmen.
1t was doubtless fun for the birds
but hard on the boys.
The sportsmen are hereby notified
that they did not get their new law
from the New DOMINION. When you
see it in the New DOMINION don't
shoot.

A Walk tn Death.

William L. Wells, of Metz, West
Va, walked out of door on the sec
ond floor, fell to the board walk be-
low, and was so badly injured that
he died in few hours after. Wells
had been drinking rather freely and
was asleep on the bed. His wife
went and awakened him for supper,
and returned to her domestic duties.
Mr.. Wells arose from his bed to go
to supper, and walked out of the
open door, falling to the sidewalk
below, with the result named. He
was considerably mangled by the
fall, and remained unconscious until
death. His remains were inferred
