Says the New York World (:
Pending Mr.. Davis's arraignment
for high treason, General R. E.
Lee was summoned before the
grand jury to give testimony as to
the overt acts. There were several
negroes on The grand jury. The
scene was very solemn and impress
sive. General Lee was questioned
and he was very frank and manly
in his answers, as every one knew
he would be. He admitted the
acts of war and avowed his own re-
sponsibility, placing himselfin the
same category of crime, if crime it
was, with Mr.. Davis. The jury was
deeply moved, but on looking
along the line of faces General Lee
observed that one of the colored
members was fast asleep. He said
afterwards, with touch of humor
which was rare to him even after
the war, that if he ever had any
conceit about his power of impress
siveness as aspeaker "that sleeping
darkey removed it."

A Terrible and Frightful Acct:
dent at Washington.

7 Z
WASHINGTON, June 9.-At 10
o'clock this forenoon one of the
most frightful, fatal and un-loo oked-
for disasters that ever took place
in this country occurred in this
city.
1t was the sudden and terrible
crashing of Ford's Theatre, we'll
known by everybody who has ever
visited the city. This building
was being used by the United
States government as an annex or
part of the Pension Bureau, and
there were hundreds of clerks in
the building at the time. At this
hour it is impossible to furnish de-
tailed accounts, but they will be
horrible, no doubt.
FIRST DISPATCH
WASHINGTON, June 6.-Ford's
Theatre, where Abraham Lincoln
was assassinated, collapsed to-day
at 10 o'clock. There were 800
government employees buried in the
ruins. If is supposed 100 at least
were killed.
SECOND DISPATCH.
1880 p. m.-Ford's Theatre was
occupied by 300 pension clerks.
At 10 o'clock the top floor collapsed.
The supports were weakened by
the excavation for a cellar. The
fall carried down three other floors
with hundreds of clerks. Some of
them jumped from the third floor.
The fremen are now taking out
the dead and wounded. The walls
are standing. At II o'clock every
floor was down. The debris and
smash up of things are indescriba-

something which the senator I'M

any point in which the cabinet Off.

GEORGES CREEK VALLEY.
The big vein was discovered con-
sideraply later in the Georges
Greek Valley region. 1t is not
much over 40 years ago since full
practical knowledge was obtained
of its existence in large quantities.
The first opening was at old Iona
coming in connection with a blast
furnace established about 1910.
An item or evidence is here given
to show how unknown and unde-
veloped coal property was in early
times. Jesse Tomlinson, in his
dav, owned great many coal lands
in Allegany county, among them
small tract on the hill tops in the
valley mentioned, containing about
125 acres, which was offered to his
son-in-law as a present. Though
needy, he refused the present be-
couse it had no value. The owner
himself forgot all about his Mount
Clare (that being It's name). A
short time before his death, in 1910,
he made division of all his lands
among his children. This tract
was forgotten and left out of the
petition. Some twelve years later,
the heirs, at least some of them dis
covered it, filed a bill in equity, and
obtained decree for its sale. Gen.
McKaig was trustee and sold it for
S21, 900. One-third of the money
was paid in cash, but the purchaser
failed and forfeited the cash pay
ment. The property was resold
for about $50, 900 and the sale fully
complied with nearly $4,000 for
this despised and forgotten tract of
land, by far larger sum than the
whole Tomlinson estate was worth.
The big vein gave the value to the
undesired land. J.B.

Cinderella.

When it was finally decided that

(Which had been planned some time
before) would not oe carried out
some of the younger people were so
disappointed tina. they resolved to
have an entertainment of their own.

any selected the Fairy Drama of
"Cinderella." L he first intention
was to request the use of the school
house some afternoon and invite u
few friends to see the performance,
but later it was decided that Gin
derella was worthy of more prepar-
alton, and to give the entertainment
at some later period. The result
was "Cinderella," as rendered at
Offutt's Hall last Thursday evening.
The whole program was well car
ried out. The effect of the render
ing was much heightened by the
beautiful manner in which the stage
and hall was decorated by the sis
tiers and friends of the little per-
formers.
The play was preceded by very
pleasant program which was given
by the very little people. The

TO AID TIE UNEMPLOYED. 6

The resolution passed in Council last
night to hold a public mass meeting TO
solicit subscriptions TO aid the unem-
ployed OF Wheeling who will otherwise
be left destitute during the winter is,
in our opinion, impracticable for many
reasons. In the first place it would
probably take hard working
committee all winter to raise
half the money necessary to relieve the
distress now prevailing. In the second,
the most worthy and deserving Of the
une mployed do not ask charity and
would be Inundated II compelled to
accept It. What they want and all
they ask is work. not soup houses.
The resolution was not adopted by the
majority present, and only two or three
votes were cast on it. 1t was allowed
20 90 through because it could do no
harm II It did no good.
The great majority 10 Council, we be-
lieve, agree with the REGISTER that If
relief is to be given it must be given
promptly and in sufficient measure.
This can be done only by Council itself
appropriating o sum to be used in
needed public improvements, these TO
be begun 40 once. The difficulties can
be overcome by Council easily and
the work begun Immediately. This
would not only afford the sort Of relief
the vast majority Of the unemployed
ask but would give the city adequate
return for its expenditure. The sum
which it Is proposed TO ap-
proprlate at once for this good use is
$50, This can easily be covered by
aloan next spring.
tits certain that this is the only prac-
ticabls way ia which the needed relief
can be given promptly and in sufficient
measure.
Council should put this measure,
which is favored BY the majority,
through at once.
