The Best Coal.

The fact that the Monongah coal,

to satisfy anybody that it is the best

as well as any miners anywhere, and
there Is no strike or lockout there. Or

MYSTERY.
THE WALTERS WALKED OUT.
Result OF a Disagreement at the Mcclure
House Yesterday.

House Yesterday.
There was strike among the walters
at the Mcclure House yesterday morn
ing that resulted in some Inconvenience
in the dining room. Mr.. Frank Stamm,
one OF the proprletors, reprimanded
one Of the walters for misconduct, when
the head waiter, Bob Grant, who has
so long been a familiar figure in the
dining room of the Mcclure, streDuously
objected.
This resulted in a lively confab be-
tween Mr.. Stamm and the head waiter,
the consequence of which was Bob
Grant received his walking papers.
Upon seeing the head waiter quit work
ing the other walters, In sympathy with
the movement, also quit, and in few
moments there was no one to wait
on the table, and the boarders
for awhile were in rather q sin
gular predicament. The porters,
bell boys, clerks and everyone
available from the Office were called into
dining room service. As this happened
at nine o'clock, and breakfast continued
until half past ten o'clock, there was
considerable time when work was car
ried on to a disadvantage.
immediately after breakfast, how
ever, steps were taken TO reorganize the
force, and Melville Reed, one OF the
old walters, was made head waiter, and
under him, nearly all the old force were
re-engaged during the forenoon, so that
1T dinner time everything was again
runnlng-along smoothly.

THIEVES AT WORK.
THE ELSON GLASS COMPANY, AT MARTIN
FERRY, VICTINIZED.
Wage Checks to Considerable Amount Stolen
and Cashsd-FOur Young Men Arrested.
Tll-Tapping on the Island.

About month ago the Elson Glass
Company, of Martins Ferry, noticed
that a great number Of the brass checks
used to give to the employees for their
work were missing, and they could not
account for 1t. They made the loss
known to the police, and Marshal West
wood informed Mr.. Elson that II he
would give him the privilege OF staying
in the Office at night he thought he
could locate the parties who were steal
ing the checks, they being kept
in box in the office.
Westwood went on duty in the
Office Saturday night, but did not learn
anything, except that several. young
fellows well known to the police were
lodging around through the night
about the Office. Before going on duty
he informed DIR. Elson he had learned
on Saturday, through several parties,
about some of the young men getting
checks which belonged TO the Elson
Company cashed at Mr.. Geo. Albaugh's
grocery, and that when he inquired at
OuC SbOIC uC W dS luAOl LnC0 bh0b SaOy h0A
cashed checks to the amount OF over
S97. 1t has been customary when the
men did not want to wait until pay day
for their money for them TO get some
one TO cash the checks at a discount.
He then found out who took the checks
to Arbaugh and going to those parties
he learned that they were paid by, q
young man by the name OF Robert
Walton to take checks that he would
give them TO get them caShed at Ar
baugh's. Upon this information he
the Secretary to look the matter
up and found out that when
they have been paying out on an aver
age lately $500 per week. The past
week they have paid out over $780,
They also found oQt that the Company
was out over $500 in the past four
weeks. They also found out that
young fellow by the name Of BraZzle
had got checks cashed to the amount Of
over SIG, and also learned that he did not
work at the works. Yesterday morning
the watchman, Mr. Matthews, noticed two
boys by the name Of Zapp and Burdett
around the Office and just as they were
about to enter the Office he started after
them, but did not succeed In catching
them. Late yesterday afternoon Mar
shall Westwuod and the rest Of the
police force arrested four Of the crowd
by the name Of Walton, Burdett, Find
ley and Brazzer, and they
thought that they would catch Zapp
some time last night. This is part OF
the same crowd that slugged the watch
man at the Eson glass works not very
long ago and did him up in pretty bad
shape.
The thieves obtained access to the
Office, which is in one corner Of the
wareroom, on the second floor, through
an inside door, which is scarcely ever
locked.

The W. Va. and pennsylvania Road.


The stockholders of this road met in
the Office of the Company in Falrmont
last Saturday, and held their annual
meeting. There was not that outpour-
ing of gentlemen present that at one
time was common at these meetings.
Many of the old faces were present and
the ravages of time caused the only
change noticeable on the faces OF the
railroad magnates present. Besides the
stockholders who reside near Fairmont,
there were present Messrs. Lowndes, A.
G.. Smith, B. Wilson, B. E. Lowe and
VIM. Hood, of Harrison county. There
was not much done OF public interest.
The reports of the officers were received
and approved, and new Board OF
Directors were elected. The Board
is composed Of the same gentlemen, who
acted last year. Mr.. K. L. Lowndes
was elected President, Jos. E. Sands
Secretary, and j. G. Beeson, Treasurer.
A special committee was appointed, con
sisting of Messrs. Wilson, Lowndes and
Sands. The Executive Committee con-
sists of Messrs. Sturgiss, Hartley, Hood
and T. w. Fleming. Nothing particu-
larly encouraging was announced at
this meeting, but there was feeling
among all present that the old thing was
not dead, and that before long some new
life would be injected into it, and she
would put on the airs Of youth. 1t is
certain that the Pennsylvania road is
looking after an outlet up this river
with greater interest than ever be-
fore. These gentlemen are keeping the
right OF way aud other franchises in
good shape when it does take notion to
come.

Denman Thompson's famous play

The wholesome qualities Of the piece

Joy so steadily. The piece has the adj
vantage of being without an imitator,

amusements it can always be considered

that does not forbid repetition, and is

at a welcome seems like a slight 10 q
