4 FINE NEW HOTEL
win Probably be Built in Parkersburg
j. X. DUR. Pittsburg Capt.
talist, is Delighted with Pro-
gressive Parkersburg.
State Journal


AS limited some time ago in the
State Journal, Parkersburg is in very
fail way TO have another large hotel
built in this city.
The project has assumed tangible
shape and the indications now are
that before many days the site will
have been purchased and the new ho-
tel under way
The gentleman who contemplates
making this large investment is Mr..
j. X. DUR, of Pittsburg, a capitalist
and a thoroughly experienced hotel
manager and promoter. He is now in
the city and will be here several days.
He is delighted with the commercial
activity and industry of Parkersburg,
so evident on all sides to residents and
newcomers, and only the procuring Of
a suitably located site impedes fol-
the time, the new hotel. Mr.. DUR
has looked, at the M. e. church,
South, property, the A. Logan Fourth
street property, the Andrews property
on Juliana street, and other sites that
have been suggested.
Ii Mr.. DUR can close satisfactory
deal for location, he will build a ho
tel larger than any Parkersburg now
has, and perhaps finer.
1t is to be hoped that he can Sc
cure a properly located lot upon which
to build, as the crowded condition OF
the hotels now here, is striking in
dication that another one would prove
remunerative because, it is in fact
needed.

A Summer Road House.

Last week the New DOMINION sug-
gested the idea of summer road
house, place where parties could
drive in the evening, rest, get refresh
ments and return home in good time.
Mr.. f. M. Bunner who has a splendid
home about p miles from town neal
the Kingwood road is preparing tic
not only keep accommodations of this
sort but will keep summer boarders as
we'll. A dancing pavilion is being
erected, nice conveniences for the care
of teams are already there and Mr..
Bunner makes an ideal host The
drive from town will be short and the
road good Mr.. Burners home is
toward the mountain, delightfully."- To-
Gated and will be well suited for the
purpose. We will have something
further to say of it in the future.

The Methodist people have solved
| the new church problem which has
been agitating that body, and work
will be begun Immediately on the
plan adopted. A very handsome
stone front with towers win be erect
ed on the line of the pavement in
front of their present church build
ing. They thus add twelve feet in
depth to their present building and
will buy additional ground of the
bank lot, on which the tower viii
stand. The side walls of their pres
emit building which are thoroughly
substantial and very fine and orn-
amental specimen of brick work will
be utilized in the new plan.
A broad entrance TO the auditori-
um will be made in the tower, as
well as a front entrance to other de
partments Of the church. The plan
and drawings made by Architect
Jacobs captured the members of the
church and everybody seems pleased
with the enterprise The plan is
exceedingly economical as to cost
and yet gives practically all that
could be desired in an entirely new
church. The auditorium will have
the largest seating capacity of any
church in town, and the vestry will
be greatly enlarged, while at the
same time the interior alterations
are slight and inexpensive. The es-
timated cost of the whole structure
is less than $4,000. Work viii begin
Immediately and the whole thing be
completed and ready to receive the
Conference which meets in Septem-

First Game of the Season Victory,

For five years the university boys
have never met defeat on the home
grounds, but in all that time they
have very seldom played game with
strictly college players. The senti-
ment against such condition of
affairs finally led to decision to play
only bona fide students this year. Con-
sequently when the season opened
there were no players presenting them
selves with long and eminent pedi-
grees. This led many people to have
many misgivings as to the result when
the aggregation was placed on the
field. 1t was openly asserted that the
team would be no good. Only defeat
was to be expected, but everyone was
glad to know that defeat would be
honorable. Now the possibility Of
defeat is forgotten. We have win
ming team. 1t is composed of college
men, 1t will win every time unless a
very fine team is opposed to it.
| The game Saturday with w. U. p.
was the opening Of the season. A
large crowd attended, and the day was
all that could be desired. Trenchard's
pets were simply slaughtered. At nc
stage of the game were they danger.
Gus and the score was only kept dowr
by the unwillingness Of the local boys
to gallop around the diamond any
oftener. The solitary run made by
the down river boys was due to the
simple ignorance of one Of the home
players. He caught a foul fly and
stood and watched w. U. p. mar
amble over the plate making a run,
preventing an uniform series of goose
eggs. Lowe was invincible, McWhor
ter hit the ball with great enthusiasm
and came near accommodating thu
trousers offered by Alt X. Smith. III
did make a three-bagger. Anderson
also did good stick work. The whole
nine played flnc ball. They are al
bright and we are proud OF them. Thu

Three Unknown Men ioodoo Farmer.
Warrington Cor Index.

On Tuesday three unknown men
met an old farmer from Flat Run,
near the B. & O. restaurant, and rep
resenting themselves as being patent
medicine men, wanted the old man,
Mr.. Enoch Underwood, to carry and
post some circulars in his neighbor-
hood for which they would pay him,
asking him if he could change five
dollar bill. The old man replied that
he, could and produced the change in
silver. They then produced some
cards, one of which was marked, and
wanted him to bet four dollars that
he could pick out a certain card which
they showed him was marked. He
said he did not bet, but they insisted
and one of them grabbed the old mans
money and said, 81 will bet for you. 81
Two of them then ran down the alley
and the third, as the old man started
to follow, caught him and said, clam
an officer, and will arrest you for
gambling" The old man was of
course scared and protested. The ras-
cal then said, GAS you are an old man
| will let you &C this time.n The old
man then went to Captain Sine's office
and made his complaint, gave as good
description as he could, but it was
very meagre. The captain told him
he had no hopes of them getting the
men, but would do all he could that
evening. AS the captain was leaving
home from supper he saw three men
approaching, who, when they saw
him, stopped. He watched and loca.
ted the gentlemen, and next morning
Constable Baker called on him with
a warrant for three men who had
robbed Asa Huffman, an old pensionel
near Joetown The captain said,
"Give me the description, l think
can locate your men," He did so and
the officers started, and in ten minutes
rounded the game up in Martins
saloon. Captain Sine arrested the
three men and turned them over tx
Constable Baker, who took them be.
fore Squire Watson. The state was
represented by Attorney w. Mclvir
Hess, the defendants making theil
own defense. The evidence resulted
in them showing up the same game al
on Mr.. Underwood, but 1t was ten dol
lars instead OF four The swindler
grabbed the money and at the tria
swore they borrowed the money. The
result was, one was cleared and two
sent to Jail for ten days and fined aft,
dollars each and costs. They gave thu
