their names could not be learned.
The contract must be completed in
three months. Two other firms have

gineer of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company was at Uniontown a few

to work on the southwest extension
between Fairchance and Smithfield
The Pennsylvania r. R., it is said, will
build its road via the Georges creek

Brutal Cruelty.


A. few days since two young men
named Smith and Jones hired team
of two handsome and spirited chest
nut mares at Bright & Sons stable
for the purpose of going to Headvile
1t appears that they drove to point
about four miles beyond Romney,
and wherever they can be heard
from on the road they were driving
at run, plying the whip freely.
On their return they were three
quarters of an hour behind the stage
at Burlington, but overlook it in the
gap, still plying the whip and run
ming the team. They passed the
stage, but it soon came up with them
with one of the mares on the ground
dying, and the other covered with
foam and trembling from exhaus-
tion. The living horse was taken to
the stable of the owners and the
young miscreants absconded. OF
course as they are utterly irresponsi-
BILE financially Messrs. Bright q
Son have nothing to do but to peck
ct the loss. 1t makes ones blood
boil with Indignation to know that
men can be found so much inferior
to horses as to treat the noble ami
NAL in such a manner. The Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to ami
mails has a good case against these
follows.

Deaths.

JAcoBs-Died at CASTOR Mines
Nov. 18th, of Typhoid Pneumonia
Frank Jacobs, oldest son of Lindsa,
Jacobs, of Clinton District, in the
22nd year Of his age. Two weeks be-
fore his death he had gone to the
mines to work, but in that short
space of time disease had done
its work and he was brought home
to his family and friends a corpse
His remains were followed to their
last resting place at Fairlnont church
by large concourse of friends and
relatives. He was an intelligent
young man and esteemed by all who
knew him and his sudden death was
shock to the community in gener,
al.
Those loving ears no more shall hear
That voice to father, mother dear
And brother, sister, shall never more
Look on that face with joy spread DER,
Shall never see their loved one come
To cheer their hearth and bless their
home,
Low lies his form beneath the sod,
High lives his spirit with his God.

A correspondent at Columbus who
has been Investigating the expendi
lures Of the Republican and Demo-
cratic State committees during the
late canvass puts the latter's outlay
at lesssthan $4,000. A week before
election the Democratic committee
was bankrupt There are SO coun-
ties in Ohio. About Is of them are
exceedingly close and II are always
classed as doubtful. The party with
the most money and the best organ.
ization usually wins, and this year
the Republicans carried them. The
Democrats had no money to send in
to them. With the Republicans il
was different. 1t was merely ques-
ton of how much.money was wanted
and could be used with good results
and it was forthcoming First and
last the Republican State committee
had $3.50, 900, of which $4,000 was
sent from Pittsburg. Subscriptions
to help McKinley's canvass were ia
ken up all over the country, even as
far away as the Pacific coast. Dem.
ocrats were hired to stay away from
the polls, and weak and corrupt Dem
ocratic district leaders were hired to
stay away from the polls or work for
the Republican ticket. To counter
act the plan of absenteeism Chair
man Neal issued a manifesto declar-
ing that the Democrats who stayed
away from the polls would be uni
versally suspected. The returns show
that the Democratic vote fell off won
derfully in Democratic counties. But
probably the best explanation of the
result is given in these statements
All this aside, the Republican or
ganization in Ohio was matchless.
No detail was left unattended to. A
man with scheme, no matter how
chimerical, could go to the Repu bill
can State committee and receive mon
ey. Their system for getting out the
full vote was perfect. Men were also
detailed to look after all the educa-
tional institutions in the State, of
which there are great number, and
Republicans were sent home to vote
Absent Republicans were brought
home to vote, no matter from what
distance or what the expense. One
man was brought from Denver to a
close county at an expense of $685.
A half-fare rate was secured on all
railroads in Ohio for election pur-
poses.
There was striking contrast at
the Democratic State headquarters.
About 100 students from the Ohio
State University and as many more
from the two medical colleges Of Col
umbus asked transportation to their
respective homes. Chairman Neal
was compelled to deny them. He had
no money.

DR.. George b. Morris, of Morgan
town. is in the city to-day DR. Nor
ris is not only a pioneer in the his
tory of dentistry in West Virginia,
but is one of the most active and
successful business men in tie Mon
ongahela valley A News reporter
had an interesting chat with him
this morning. In reply to query
the doctor said:
There is brilliant prospect that
Morgantown will have two new rail
roads in short time, connecting
the place with Pittsburg. The Bal
timore and Ohio Co. is working a
force of men grading new line from
its present line at Uniontown north,
on the east side of the river to Nor
gantown. While the force employed
lis not large, there is promise that
it will be largely increased in the
spring, and work will go ahead rap
idly. The distance is only about 80
miles, and when the line is compile
ted it will give the b. d o. the long
talked of through route from Pitts
burg south by way of Morgantown,
Fairmont, Clarksburg and thence
over the Camden system of railroads.
1t will be a great thing for West Vir-
ginia, and is bound to GOMEZ
What is this other road you speak
of?''
THAT is the Southwest Pennsyl-
vania. That company has large
forces of men at work at Crows
Mills, Geneva and other points, and
am reasonably certain it will push
the road on. twill run on the east
side of the river from Fairchance to
point south of Cheat river. and
then cross to the west side of the
Monongahela, parallelling the B. u
o. to Clarksburg and getting an en-
trance to one of the richest coal
fields of the world. The West Vir-
ginia and Pennsylvania company,
in which business men of Harrison,
Marion and Monongalia counties
are the prime movers, owns the right
of way on the West side of the river,
and ! understand it will probably
effect the arrangement with the Penn
sylyania that will give the latter its
rights on the West side and enable
it to build. That will give us what we
have long wanted, arailroad compel
ing with the b. Il o.

AOfhOfroW We give thanks.
II the spirit Of thanksgiving is not
abroad in the land tomorrow, we
will prove ourselves very migrate
full people
An abundant country has pro-
duced superabundance.
We have harvested cereals enough,
almost, to feed the civilized world.
Every spear of grass and stalk OF
grain; every twig of fruit tree; every
bush and vine have been bending
this year with the marvellous product
Of the season.
The waste of the surplus in fruits
and other things has been the only
matter in connection with the sea-
son's,products that has given any
cause for regret. We have been
made to exclaim, Certainly this is
Gods country, and he has dealt with
lavish hand"
We say, therefore, if ever a people
had occasion to set apart day for
Thanksgiving, and if, tomorrow, the
day SO set apart, spirit of thanks
giving does not pervade the popula-
tion Of this country, we will have
proved ourselves a very ungrateful
people.
There ought to be no poor, and
none suffering for the necessaries of
life, except from sickness or other
misfortune, but when we sit around
the festal board tomorrow, laden
with all the abundance of the season
it will greatly help the appetite five
have contributed of our abundance to
make the day pleasant to those who
have not an abundance. There are
many homes in which the Injuries
will be absent; in which the neces-
saries will be melted out with scant
hand; and in which there is oppor-
tunity for the full handed and gener-
Gus hearted to enhance the happiness
to the extent, at least, of one good,
square meal.
Go to church in the morning and
join in the songs of praise and
Thanksgiving, and then you can join
with your family and friends around
the festal board in a practical illus
tration of your sentiments.

road,
Waynesburg Independer

Prof. t. nj. jackson, ofClarksburg
and Mr.. Cowan, of the Warrington
Times, President and Secretary OF
the proposed railroad from this place
to Clarksburg by way of Manning
ton, to run in connection with the w.
d. W., were here Monday. A num-
Der of our citizens met them at the
Downey House, and had an informal
talk about this enterprise The gen.
tlemen presented the advantages the
road would be to this place, in plac-
ing us in easy access to the rich
mineral and lumber resources of
West Virginia, and make it posi-
BILE for us to become a manufac-
turing point. They intimated that
Waynesburg ought to take not less
than $4,000 stock in the road. The
right of way was also discussed and
the matter of taking stock. No
doubt meetings will be held here in
the near future, and all along the
proposed line, and all the interests
of the enterprise presented to the
people, and earnest work commenc-
ed. These gentlemen are very en-
thusiastic as to the road, and say it
will be built, so that section will
have an outlet to Pittsburg. In the
event of the right of way and the
desired aid are not secured along the
route to this place on this side of
the State line, the road will go down
the Monongahela river We hope
our people will do the best by this
road they can. and with it and the
Wheeling d Connellsville, Waynes-
burg is bound to take rapid strides
forward in the march of prosperity.
