The Uniontown Standard saws
that "Mr. Bennett of the firm of Ben
nett & Talbot who have the contract
for grading part of the B. q o. be-
tween Smithfield and Morgantown
came to town yesterday. He said
that Brian was putting the finish
ing touches on the B. & o. track to
Smithfield and would have it ready
for the company by Oct. l. The B.
d 0. company puts their new sched-
ule into effect from the 10th to the
18th of October and it is possible that
arrangements will be made in the
new schedule for passenger trains be-
tween Smithfield and Uniontown.
From what can be learned now it
seems that three trains will be run
to Smith6eld daily except Sunday.
The 7:05 in the morning and the
2.35 in the afternoon will likely car
ry passengers from Smithfeld and it
is possible that an entirely new train
will be put on between Smithfield
and Pittsburg."

Cheat.

From Smithfield to Point Marion

contractors say, before the bridge
is completed.
The route from Uniontown is via

Georges creek to Smithfeld. Thus

RuiIding Notes,

Brick is being laid for new
dwelling on Main Street, between
Jas. N. Davis, and Prof. Whites.
The latter gentleman is having the
work done. The house which for
merly stood where this one is being
built stood directly on the street.
The new house will be back dis
lance sufficient for a pretty lawn in
front. 1t will be two stories and a
beautiful residence, to be completed
this fall.
The new residences of L. V. Keck
and Fl. NJ. Morgan are practically
completed and will be occupied next
week. Silas McGraw has one of the
neatest little houses in the north
end. 1t is now nearing completion.
Prof. Whites new residence on
the old Wilson site is to be complet-
ed by Dec. l. 1t is by far the hand
soonest and costliests dwelling in
the country.
Clearance McVicker's new house is
receiving the finishing touches.
He is now having wall built at the
street front of the grounds, along
which the Wiley Street pavement is
to be extended to opposite Miss
Arab Jane Evans new house.
Two new houses have been cree
ted on P. H. Keck's West Side prop
erty. Since the building of the
| dwelling for the M. E. Circuit min
lister, the West Side moves with the
building procession.
The Brock, Reed and Wade build
ing adjoining F. X. O'Kelley's,
Main Street, is in process of con-
struction, bricklaying having begun
on it last Wednesday,. 1t is to be a
business block built on the
most modern plans, with iron and
glass front 1t is to be three stories
high, and will supply considerable
of the demand for Office rooms.
Work has begun on the founda.
tion for the new theater building
VIM. Wells has the contract for that
part of the work. The building ex
elusive of the lot and the price Of
the foundation, will cost $4,000
which insures a much better build
of the kind than the veriest theat
rical enthusiast ever dreamed that
Morgantown could have. 1t is. te
be completed in December, and ther
the hoped for will be realized, IS
long felt want" will be filed.
Col. Snider is preparing to build
on a lot he purchased from W. H
Bailey on Sunny Side.
There are many other contracts
for buildings out that are to be com
pleted this year, and still there are
not enough houses.

DEATH CALLS ANOTHER
or the Cooley Gang Of Thieves-Frank,
the Leader, Killed by Sheg.
ff3sa pacco

i
Frank Cooley has gone to his re
ward, and contrary to the sorrow
which usually o'ershadows com
munity when death takes one of its
members, great is the rejoicing tina
he is gone. He was shot and killed
by a member of the sheriff's poss'
Of Fayette county.
Frank Cooley was the leader of thu
famous, or infamous Cooley gang o
Fayette county outlaws. For olons
had he evaded arrest that he had be
come holder, and for some time past
has been in the babit Of spending
Sundays with his father, who lives
near Smithfield. He had done this
80 long and 80 free from interruption
from officers, that he seemed not to
care if people knew Of his habit Of
parental visitation. Sheriff McCor-
mick. better late than never, on learn
ing of the leaders intention to be at
the homestead, organized posse on
Saturday night, and after assuring
themselves that Cooley was in the
house, surrounded it. Cooley was
accompanied by Jack Ramsey next
in Importance in the crimes of the
gang.
The officers waited until Sunday,
and then closed in on the house. Coo
ley appeared at the door and made a
bold dash for liberty. He was or
dered to halt, the sheriff having Civ
en- the order to his men to not fire
until so commanded. He would not
halt, though asked to do SO num-
Der of times. "Fire," finally came
from the sheriff, and following the
volley from the Winchesters Cooley
dead body lay PROSTATE on the sod
where as an innocent child he had
played. Cooley had often said that
he would Idle with his boots on, !"
and he did.
Ramsey, unfortunately, escaped,
and is still at liberty, but the good
work begun by the officers will be
continued till he is brought to JUS
tice or his dead body brought as a
trophy to the many wronged and pill
Jagged citizens of Fayette.
1t is thought that the death of two
of the Cooleys will break up the band
of thieves which bears their name
Jack and Frank have both been in
stantly killed, and it was by their
generalship that the band was led.
Great is the rejoicing down there
over their death.
LATER.
The posse that pursued Ramsey
hunted for him all night They had
him surrounded and headed off from
the mountains, but in the darkness
he eluded them. They did not give
up, however, and just before noon
Rev. Hunter and A. J. Hicks had
captured Ramsey several miles above
Fairchance. He had exhausted his
ammunition and had to surrender.
He was taken to Uniontown and
placed in Jail, and his being sent to
the penitentiary is certainty.
