Took His Secret to the Grave.
Waynesburg Independent.

L. j. Parker, Postmaster at Cum
berland, Md, sent us the Evening
Times which contained an old letter
dated June 81, 1916, relative to a
silver mine which had been worked
by party of Spaniards at or near
Oldtown, Va. The letter states the
Indians run the Spaniards from the
mine, A woman who cooked for
miners received half bushel of sill
yer dollars as pay for her labor
which she buried near the mine, and
had not time to get it when the In
dians drove them away. 1t appears
all traces of the mine were covered
up by the miners, and have never
been discovered. A man by the
name of Bardell had knowledge of
the mine and he and another man
tried to secure the land or which it
is located, but could not. G. Bardell
whose father possessed the desirable
information, wrote the letter from
Natchez to Jas. M. Cresap of Somer-
set, Pa, informing him the senior
Bardell lived in "Greene county, Pa,
and his postoffice was Morgantown."
This was at period when postoffices
were not as numerous as they are
now. On inquiry we learn that
years ago persons by the name of
Bardell lived on Dunkard Creek, this
county, doubtless the one who knew
where the rich vein of silver ore was
located on the Potomac.

The Difference.

Pennsylvanians "long have sought,
and found it not" the difference be-
tween West Virginia coke and coal
and the Connellsville article. Their
chemists have spent long weary days
over their crucibles in the vain en-
deavor to find ingredients in our
black diamonds that would be detri-
mental to them, and then spoiled col
umns of valuable space in their pa
pers in explaining what they had
failed to find But the other day a
Pennsylvania coal operator came to
the rescue of the 'coal editors" who
were verging on the jim jams result
ant from the green snake" getting
tangled up in their rapidly revolv-
ing wheels, with this explanation
After making thorough examin-
alton of the coke plant and product
at the Montana mines the gentleman
went into the mine from which he
emerged an hour later, from dark
ness to light as it were, and ON be-
ing asked what he thought of the
coke and coal, with all seriousness
said: eff this coke was made in
Pennsylvania it would be first class !;
if the coal was mined in our state it
could not be equaled on earth, but,
as both are in West Virginia they
are not worth -.

A Good Time nj Eden.

SfEwARrsTowN, May l2.-Last Satur-
day and Sunday were two days that will
long be remembered by our community.
1t was the time of the third quarterly
meeting of Avery circuit, and the pas
tor had arranged for variety of exer-
cises and services, and had secured the
assistance of Profs. Thomas c. Miller
and U. S. Fleming. Saturday morning
was taken up in an official meeting OF
the church, and a Sunday School con
vention was held at P. NJ, and at night.
Quite a number of topics were discussed
and we trust to the benefit Of all pres

Chow to prepare and teach Sunday
School Lesson" was the theme of Prof.
Miller's address, and all were not only
delighted but edited with his excellent
thoughts and pleasant manner OF pre-
senting them.
Prof. Jennings theme at the night
session was mot Bread Alone,' and
the entire audience was highly pleased
with his clear cut thoughts aud forcible
manner Of presenting them. at Q 80 A,
NJ, Sunday morning Prof Miller con-
Quoted the Sunday School, giving us
many new thoughts and suggestions.
how to get out Of the old ruts and adopt
new and better methods. At 10 80 o.
clock Prof. Fleming preached very ex-
cellent sermon, and Notwithstanding the
heavy rain there was good congrega-
ton, there being 80 communicates at the
sacrament of the Lords Supper, An
immense congregation assembled at 2 80
for the Christian Endeavor rally, and
two honrs were spent in short addresses
and songs to the delight and good of ali.
The Avery circuit has about 400 Sun
day School scholars, and about 240
Christian Endeavorers and this is the
first general meeting OF either that has
been held, yet all vote it a grand sue
cess.
We learn that Monongalia has no Go.

we as Methodist Professionals have now
organized UNCONVENTIONAL convention,
yet we are ready TO unite with other de-
nominations in county convention.

1t Made Them Weary.

The game of base ball between the
West Virginia University team and
the Taylortown, Pa, club, played on
the University grounds for three long
hours Saturday afternoon, made the
University boys and the 300 people
who witnessed it very weary. The
w. V. q. boys made Is runs in one
inning, and got so tired sprinting
around the diamond that one of the
boys walked from third base to the
home plate in order to get put out
and retire the side; even when he
walked in, Taylortown had hard
work to get the ball home in time to
put him out. Ike Hickman, who
was the famous short stop in the old
Rough d Ready club of Morgantown,
lives in Taylortown and came over
as mascot for the visitors. Ike in
the old days was a kicker in whom
the R. d r. took pride and he has
not lost any of his old time vigor,
the way Isaac kicked on the decis-
ions of the umpire put the crowd
right in the front seats of the Seventh
Heaven of Delight, in fact, it was the
one redeeming feature of the rockiest
game of ball on record. There were
two or three good players among the
visitors but the majority could not
have gotten under falling balloon,
much less the delusive calfskin.
1t is corner lots to wooden nutmegs
that half the nine would miss foot
ball with clapboard if the ball
were suspended by string three
feet above the home plate. The way
those Pennsylvanians famed the
air was simply caution to wind
mills. The score was 81 to IL in ia
vor of the University, but had the
Varsity boys tried to play they
would be up there yet sprinting
Some of the people who paid quar-
ter to see the game threatened to
have the visitors arrested on the
charge of false pretense as they rep
resented that they could and would
play base ball but Ike hustled his
aggregation of fumblers out of town
Immediately after the umpire said
that the W. V. U. had played their
half of innings.

New improvements.

A stone wall $50 feet long and Al
feet high has just been completed
around the Wiley street front of
Prof. l. G. Whites lot. The lawn
rises graduly from the wall to the
residence which sets back about rs
yards, and when the scrubery and
drive ways are completed Prof White
will have one of the finest homes in
the State. A large piece of ground
adjacent to the NJ E. Cemetery has
been fenced off Of the White grounds
and street will be run through this
lot which will give several building
lots, cut off from the cemetery by the
street. The remains of those
buried in this cemetery are being
so rapidly removed by friends to
Oak Grove cemetery that it is believ-
ed that the University will in the
near future buy the cemetery and
convert it into a park. OF course,
it would be necessary for the State
to remove all bodies remaining at
the time of purchase, and it is to be
hoped that some one will agitate
this matter as the cemetery is an
eye sore and draw back to the
building up of the town.

Tried to Blow up Morgan Tunnel.

UNIoNTowN, Pa, May, 14-It was
reported this morning that an at
tempt was made yesterday to blow
up the Morgan tunnel on the Fair
mont Morgantown & Pitttsburg r.
K. with dynamite to prevent the
shipment of raw coal from the mines
of the upper Monongabela. The re-
port has not been verified, but the
whole of Southern Fayette is excited
over the affair, and the tunnel is to-
day guarded at both entrances by
deputies. The plan taken by the
strikers to dynamite the tunnel has
not been made known, but the story
is to the effect that several sticks of
dynamite were picked up on the
track by the Waterman The blow
ing up of Morgan tunnel would stop
the shipment of about 200 cars of
raw coal per day, which supplies
some of the mills along the Monon
gahela river. The Baltimore and
Ohio is expecting trouble and is ex-
ercising great care to prevent serious
wrecks or loss oflife.

Parson JacO Arrested On A Serious
Charge.

H. I. Jaco and George G. Cans,
formerly of Uniontown, but lately
proprietors of hotel in Pittsburg
were arrested few days ago charg-
ed with swindlng.
Before they were taken tojail they
were taken to magistrates office,
where they made information against
their prosecutors. They charged
Jesse o. Smith and Silas R. Provins
two of the bestknown citizens of
Fayette county, with selling liquor
in Pittsburg without license. War
rants have been issued for these men
and they will be arrested.
The proprietor of saloon in Pitts
burg borrowed money of Provins and
Smith, and being unable to pay it
back he was sold out by the Sheriff
and Provins and Smith bought in
the saloon which they afterward
sold to Jaco and Cans as they were
not willing to go into the saloon bus
mess for themselves. 1t is claimed
that there was an unpaid balance of
$4,000 due Provins and Smith for
which Jaco and Cans gave their
joint note and represented that they
owned real estate in Fayette county.
The creditors pushed for their money
and Jaco and Cans failed, shipping
their stuff to Ohio and selling it
there. The charge against them
is based on the claim that they do
not own foot of real estate and Sc
cured the property on false state
ments.
The charge made by Cans and
Jaco against Smith and Provins is
based on the claim that they were
the real owners of the saloon for a
time while it was being operated I'M
der the name Of Cans, that they had
no licenses and were therefore respon-
sihle for the sale Of their property
at retail.
LATER 1t is understood that the
matter will be satisfactorily settled
