WIZARDS WIN THEIR GAME.

At Pines alleys last night, the speota-
tors were treated to a specimen of the
hardest kind of luck in the rolling Of the
Orients, and such as has never before
been witnessed at the alleys. While the
Willards did not have very remarkable
streak of good breaks they Were cinohes
compared to the Orients. Mitchell and
Payson Were particularly unfortunate in
their breaks and are certainly deserving
of credit for the totals they secured. The
pleasing feature of the game was the fine
rolling of Thrasher, who secured all the
high totals and singles for tho night, and
his work was Of the highest order, as he
did not escape all the bad breaks, but
cleaned them up in great shape. Waite
put up fine game also securing two
large strings and good total itsecond

CHRISTIAN ENDsAveR RaLav.
Portland Societies Represented an M.at;np
at gree Baptist Church.

The Portlan Christian Endeasyor union
held a successful rally at the Free Rautist
church last ey ening. About dozen
societies were represented and an in
teresting programme wasspresented.
The services were opened by singing
that familiar hymn Joy to tho World. ~
The chorus was abAr led by Mr. James
2. Coorabs. Then followed the reading
in concert of the First Psalm, after which
the leader and presid ent OF the Union,
Rev. E. r. Purdy, m AIDE few remarks,
introducing the fast speaker, Miss
Gertrude Davis Miss Davis read short
but interesting paper on Junior Work
and showed the world was to be made
better by first teaching the children and
also showed there was much to learn by
getting near the heart OF little child.
The next paper was upon Systematic
Giving, and was read by Mr.. Franklin
B. Pease. Mr. Pease presented three
sides to the question, My side, your side
and the other side.'' He Shove that so
sure as money is great power for evil so
it is a great power for good, and urged
upon all to lay aside part of oul income
for the advancement OF the Lords king
dom. Mr.. James P. COMBS next
rendered that beautiful song, "TLere is a
green hill far away by Gounod.
The speaker Of the evening was then in
troduced, Rev. W. f. Berry. His subject
was Chri,tian Citizenship and it was
most ably presented. He began by allud
ing to the fact that citizens were not only
the men who had the privileges of the
polls, but all men and women who have
gained resi- dence. The right to vote is
given to men only who have attained
their majority and irrespective of other
qualifications which in many cases was
manifestly unjust. A person to be good
citizen must be al Christian. A man who
is not true to his God cannot be true to
his neighbor. Our government depends
upon the character of it's citizens. The
best men should be the rulers, but we
find in too many cases the government is
not enough to be Christian, but we
must be Intelligent Christians. We should
have a knowledge of our state govern
ment, its constitution, statutes and all
civic truths. In this country we our
selves are the rulers and we shoulG be in
telligent rulers. The government protects
its humblest citizens. The common law
protects our lives and homes from
anarchy and.n1urder. Our own city fPort-
land is to expend some fifteen hundred
thousand dollars the coming year. and is
it not important who shall have the
handling of this vast sum. Will any of
our aldermen have the chance of saying
as one of them did ''f secured my election
by bribery and liquor Law protects US
and we must reverence it, and not use it
for our own personal pleasure or profit.
The rally closed with a conservation
service, the societies responding 10 the
call Of the roll.

that, before the civil code of Prussia was
enforced, some arrangements would be
arrived at to repeal the prohibition re-
ferred to. The house then adjourned.

MILITIA SHOULD REFUSE.
Startling Statement by Governor At
kinsOn's Newspaper Organ.

PARKERsBURG, w. Va, Aug. 22.-
The Sunday News" Governor At
kinson's organ here, editorially com
menting in to-day's issue upon the
recent order directing the State mi
litia to hold themselves in readiness
to aid in the suppression of disorder
among the miners, says:
'The power to suppress trouble
among the miners, should there be
any, has gone out from the State, and
none but the United States troops
must be called in. Every patriotic
National guardsman should refuse
point blank and emphatically to
take the field in this struggle in
West Virginia"
Governor Atkinson was here yes
terday, and in view of the fact that
he is alleged to have recently stated
that he considered the injunctions
against Debs and others ian outrage
upon the fair name of the State" as
long as they neither melted riot nor
advocated the destruction of proper
ty, the editorial is believed to have
been inspired.
General Casteel denies that there
has been any orders issued to the
National Guard to hold itself in
readiness to aid in the suppression
of the strikers. 1t is extremely prob
able that no such orders have been
issued. 1t is also very probable
that if they have the governor would
not inspire such incendiary editor
ials. However, that would not be
very much stranger than many Of
his other well authenticated actions.
He has earned the title of Anarchist
and seems determined to
retain possession Of it.

THU BLACK BOTTLE. y
To Be Sold by Decree Of Court.
Holdings of the Company Very Valuable
and Extensive.

Monday morning at a special
term of court very important move
was made. Judge Hagans ordered
the famous "Black Bottle" railroad
to be sold to satisfy the numerous
claims against it. Geo. C. Baker
and Fuller Glasscock were appoint
ed as commissioners to sell the Mo-
mongolia end of the road and Hon.
Geo. c. Sturgiss and p. j. Crogan,
of Kingwood, as commissioners for
that part ia Preston county.
The road has had no work per-
formed ON it since 1888 and the gra-
ding already done is rapidly becom-
ing obliterated. The road has been
graded nearly eight miles from this
place. The work on this road caused
some of the widest scenes ever wit
messed in Morgantown. The labor
ers were not paid and to the num-
Der of three or four hundred in
vaded the town. The life of Hon.
Geo. c. Sturgiss was threatened and
he, with the directors, had to take
refuge from the mob. The cadets
were called out and after hard work
order was restored. The condition
of the men was pitable in the ex-
treme. Many of them saw months
of effort gone for nothing, with win
ter coming. Insufficiently clad and
starving they were in desperate
plight Their money has never been
paid them.
The.road received its name from
popularity of one gifts promoters Mr..
Nymegei, proprietor OF the Irondale
Furnace in Preston county Every
time he came to attend meeting of
the promoters he produced long
black bottle which he consulted
frequently and enthusiastically.
Finally he gave it up and a com
pany of Morgantown people with
Edward Kusler as president and
Mr.. Sturgiss as moving spirit was
organized and obtained options of
the coal lands along the route. The
holdings are very extensive and with
the completion of the road will prove
extremely valuable. 1t is thought
very likely that since the affairs of
the company are to be settled up,
that new company will take hold
of it and finish it as originally pro-
jected. 1t would be a great thing
for Morgantown and the whole
country to be traversed, and we
earnestly hope that it may be car
ried to completion.
