CARRIED OVERWHELMINGLY.
The Odd Fellows Instruct their Build
ing Committee to give Contract
for $4,000 Building to
S1~ Grace the CarracO Corner.

The meeting of the lodge of Odd
Fellows Saturday night was not an
ordinary meeting. 1t was to decide
momentous question. 1t was de-
cided The advocates of building
to be erected without delay were
victorious. A $4,000 building, with
theatre Incorporated in the plan, is
to be constructed.
Every member of the lodge was no
titled two weeks in advance that a
vote on what kind of a building
and the time it should be com
menced was to be taken Satur
day night and their presence was de-
sired. There were 60 members pres
ent Saturday night, not full at
tendance by any means, but the
question came up in regular order
and the vote was taken. 1t was re-
plete with ayes and meagre with
noes There were 50 who voted that
the building committee be empower
ed to adopt a plan and make con-
tract for building not to exceed
$4,000. There were eight who vo-
ted negatively.
The building committee consists
|of E. NJ. Grant, Layton Coombs, Jo-
seph Moreland, j. L. Johnston, Man
lift Hayes, Frank Cox, John Kincaid,
Will Arnett, w. E. Glasscock and
James c. Wallace. They have the
entire matter in their hands, They
will meet in short time and decide
when the work of tearing down the
present Carraco property shall be-
gin. Then they will advertise for
bids for $40, 900 building from con-
tractors. and it is probable that the
stone cutters will be at work before
the landmarks of the site are torn
down and removed.
The plan has not been definitely
decided upon, except that there will
be three store rooms, office rooms on
the second floor, lodge room ON the
third and theatre back of these. In
fact, the outlines will be precisely as
described in this paper two weeks
ago. And ell this is settled. 1t is
distinct matter Therein comes
the qualification to all who are proud
OF additional architectural beautify-
ers to the town. This Odd Fellows
building will be far and away
the handsomest business house in
Morgantown. And it will accomplish
the hoped for in the shape of fac
theatre. We shall be grateful to
the Odd Fellows for this and other
blessings that are to accrue ut no dis
tant day.

A STRANGE SUICIDE.


Miss Cora Arnold, young and
handsome girl, whose home is in
Belleville, Wood Co., committed sui
eide by drowning herselfin the Ohio
river.
She left her home unnoticed and
went to the river bank. Then she
tied rope to the bushes and then to
her waist and threw herself into the
river.
When she was discovered she was
dead. Before committing the rash
act she took off all of her jewelry.
The affair has caused great ex-
citement. Miss Arnold was about
eighteen years of age and was the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. E. F. Ar
mold. She was in perfect health and
apparently in good spirits. She was
a refined, popular young lady and
her rash act is great mystery.

The Opening not Afar of.

There is no doubt that the inspec-
tion party of high officials of the B.&
o. who passed over the extension of
the f, M. d p branch last week
will decide as to when the road will
be opened and when the schedule
made out by which to run trains
over it will go into effect. In fact,
that was the main object of the in
spection. They saw the road. They
know when the few remaining
miles to ballast will be finished.
They are familiar with all the details
necessary. They now have TO decide
when they will have trains put on.
What this decision will be no man
knows. They will know before a
great while now. And as soon as
they make their decision the infor.
nation will be procurable by the
New DOMINION, and on the earliest
publication day thereafter our read
ers will receive the knowledge
through these columns, which, by
the way, are always first to give i'm
portant information of local interest.
There is but little ballasting yet
to be done, and this little may be
completed within the next few days.
Then the side tracks all along will
receive their requisites of Stag. Then
the road will. to all intents and pur-
poses, be finished.
1t is probable that when the ex
tension is opened there will be new
schedule go into effect on the Fourth
division. Wheeling business men
have been protesting strongly
against the present time table by the
public meeting plan. They want a
change, and the B. q o. has promis-
ed they shall have it. Therefore
these two changes are likely to come
at the same time.

This Miller Wasn't Honest.

Fike Thomas, manager of the
Morgan Touring mill near Smith
field, is missing, and with him about
1000 bushels of grain belonging to
the farmers of that section. A few
months ago Thomas was employed
to manage the Morgan mill. He
had spent most of his life in milling,
and it was thought that be was get
ting along well until he suddenly
disappeared. 1t is alleged that over
1000 bushels of wheat that had been
left at the mill 10y farmers to be
ground into flour is missing, and it
is claimed that Thomas had made
this wheat into -four, which he sold
at low prices, In some instances he
sold 100 pounds of flour for 81 80

The b. & o. Buying Coal.

The b. q o. officials who came
from Pittsburg in special cars, Mon
day, and came up over the State Line
returning east via this place, did a
little other business than inspect
the new road. They bought two
strips Of coal fronting down on Cheat
river below the mouth of Grassy run
and lying along the State Line. One
of these strips, consisting of so acres
they purchased from George Barker,
and the other, comprising 60 acres,
from Henry Blosser. The price paid
is $175 per acre. The B. & O. will
ship this coal, and also draw on it
for their own supply.

Robbed Agein.

The store house of the GAINESVILLE
Manufacturing Company was broken
into by thieves on last Friday night
and a quantity of goods, consisting
of clothing and cutlery chiefly. to the
estimated value of 5000 was taken.
The robbers effected an entrance by
scaffolding up to rear window and
breaking the glass. No clue as yet
to the thieves, but it is more than
probable that they will be caught.
They were no strangers, for every
thing shows that they know the
premises thoroughly.-Inder.

Boom for Greene County.

A number of our people entertain
the opinion that this county is going
to have an oil boom in the very near
future, and that Waynesburg will be
the head centre, says the Waynes-
burg Independent. These opinions
are based on the movements of oil
companies and men who are busy
securing territory. We indulge the
hope that something will develop
that will help the business interests,
and give encouragement to discour-
aged people.

bent, 4; George S. Vance, Q; Alf. l..
