THE following story comes from
Frostburg: A young lady named
Helen Hunt found a purse In church
and notified the pastor that she had
it, so if any one reported the loss it
could be returned. The next Sabbath
the clergyman made the following an
nouncement from the pulpit: ''Some
one lost purse here last Sunday eve
ming, and If the owner wants his prop
erty he can 60 to Helen Hunt for it. !"
IT is certain that the packet
which will be built for the Pittsburg
Brownsville and Morgantown line,
will be the largest and finest boat
that ever piled the waters of the
Monongahela. She will be especial
ly adapted to the needs and COM
forts of the constantly increasing
passenger trade of the line.
THE court house clock stopped this
morning at $50. The stoppage was
caused by bolt catching in part
of the mechanism. Jeweler Hayes
remedied the difficulty. Washers were
put on the bolt and the clock may row
be expected not to stop any more from
this cause. 1t stopped once before on
account of the same trouble. The
clock now gives correct railroad time.
The Pittsburg, Brownsville, Gene
va and Morgantown packet compa-
ny is receiving bids tor the cons true
ton of two new packets. 1t is their
intention to run two daily packets.
This has been necessitated by the
tremendous increase in traffic which
has occurred since the river was made
free. This move ought to make
things pretty lively on the river and
should not cause shippers much
worry in view of the prospective
cheapening of rates.
Mr.. w. +. DAVIS, the new cashier
of the First National Bank assumed
his official duties on the first day of
the month, relieving Vice President
Mallonee, who has discarged the du
ties of the Office for the past month
in addition to those of his own. Mr..
Davis is popular young man, with
considerable banking experience.
He is a native of our county and is
quite generally acquainted with
our people. Mr.. Mallonee, as vice
President, will have personal charge
of the banks business, and perform
much the same duties as he did as
its cashier. Grafton Sentinel.
In view of the approaching open
ing of the Opera House this week
it may not be amiss to remind the
feminine portion of the play going
that all headgear must
be removed while in attendance on
any performance. The person VIC
lating this law is liable to fine of
not less than two nor more than ten
dollars. The law was passed by the
last Legislature and it should bevig-
orously enforced if necessary. 1t is
not thought however that there will
be any violators found in Morgan
town. The ladies of this town are
enough to remove their
hats without being forced to do So
STEAMBOAT excursions are getting
to be great fad. Since the freeing
of the Monongahela excursions are
of almost daily occurrence. On
Tuesday the Rebckah excursion
went from here to Brownsville. Next
Friday the Steamer Mason will run
from here to Pittsburg, returning
Saturday night; the fare for the
round trip being $3.50 a couple and
from pools below proportionately
lower rate. On the 18th the Turn
Verein will run down the river so or
60 miles, returning the same evening.
Yesterday number of wealthy res
idents of Pittsburg came up in their
private yacht to see Morgantown
and adjacent country. We are glad
to see the gentlemen and ask them
to hang up their hats and make
themselver at home.
Capt M. A. Cox, the veteran
steamboatman, has brought out ev-
cry steamboat that has been built
by the Pittsburg, Brownsville and
Geneva Packet company during the
past 80 years, but he does not ex-
pect to take command of the new
boat which will be built by the com
pany this fall. Capt Cox says he
wants to do his last steamboating
on the Adam Jacobs, the boat named
in honor of the founder of the line,
and he is willing to let Capt. Adam
Jacobs, Jr., bring the new boat out.
Capt. Cox is seriously considering
the advisability of leaving the river
permanently this winter. He had a
talk with Capt. S. s. Graham, the
general manager of the line, about
the matter the other day, and Capt.
Graham told him that he got fat
last winter. Capt. Cox is nearing
his four score years, but he is hale
and hearty. He has been steamboat
ing continuously for over so years,
having boated on the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers and all their nav
igable tributaries Brownsville Cor.
