SOME of the towns which recently

which it is claimed to be by any

A GANG OF counterfeiters at Wheel
ing are busy making bogus B. & O.
mileage books. The number Of
these taken up is very large and it is
believed that many more have beer
issued. Detectives are busy trying tc
locate the gang and bring it's men 5ers
to justice.
TYLER county is to build several
miles of brick paved roads. The ex-
pertinent will be watched with in
terest by all parts of the country
The district to be intersccted by
these roads is an oil field where il
winter it is almost an impossibility
to get anything hauled. Thousands
of dollars are wasted every year ia
delayed and prevented operations.

:and Pennsylvania. His whereabouts
lis unknown, and Kingwood, W. Va,

ABOUT twenty employees of the B.
& 0. machine shops at Piedmont have
been furloughed indefinitely and the
ones retained will only work four days
a week. From reliable source it is
learned that the shops at Parkersburg
will be closed down and the machin-
cry transferred to Cumberland and
Mount Clare. The Parkersburg shops
at one time employed several hundred
men. 1t is rumored that the Grafton
shops will also be removed.
PEOPLE or some Of them at least,
have not yet learned that postal notes
are no longer issued by the postoffice.
The entire scheme has been abolished
and the money order has been vastly
improved. They can be secured as
cheaply as the old postal notes and are
the only absolutely safe manner of
sending money through the mails.
Mr.. Wharton has not issued single
postal note since being in the Office
as they were discontinued before his
Induction yet week never passes
without some one asking for one of
them.
M. LEE, an acronaut, employed
with the Silver Plate shows, which ex-
'hibited in McKeesport Thursday, was
fatally injured while making an as
cension. Lee went up a short dis
lance when he found the wind was
too strong. He cut loose and fell on
the sharp roofof Edie's building. He
had an arm and leg broken and skull
fractured. When picked up he was
unconscious, and it is thought he
cannot recover. While here he
struck house on coming down and
was quite severely shaken up. This
show seems to be pursued by a Sc
ries of fatal accidents and has lost
two men in the last ten days.
THE new catalogues have arrived
and are being distributed. But few
changes have been made in its appear
ance. The cuts are mainly old ones
but the nature of things this can
not be avoided. The roll of students
bears 465 names, a large increase over
last year and most gratifying condi-
tion of affairs. A change in the
terms has been made and the lengths
Of them made the same Under the
new arrangement the fall term ends on
November 80, the examinations be-
ginning the goth. The winter term
begins on December 1st. A ten-day
vacation is given at Christmas. The
winter term ends the last Of February
and the spring term the last of May.
