KNOCKED OUT.
Morgantown and Meredith Per-
manently Dead Lock.

No Elevated nurbannah Bridge Fuss
Over the Kind of payment--Will be
Built According TO Original Plan.
Weeks Of nelay for Nothing Bridge
will be Finished January LIST.
The plan to have a raised bridge
over Deckers creek has fallen through.
The Morgantown council and the rep
resentatiye of the bridge company,
Mr.. II. Meredith, failed To reach any
conclusion and the scheme has been
abandoned. The bridge will be built
according the original plan on the
present site, the floor to be where the
present floor is.
Yesterday afternoon as we went to
press the matter was In dispute. The
first tangle occurred over the price To
be paid for Morgantowns share OF the
structure. Finally 1t was agreed BY
compromises from both sides that the
town should pay 1920 The next
difficulty arose over the payment.
The town wished TO pay 1t in town
it should be in cash or its equivalent.
In other words IL any discount was
made on the orders the town TO make
it good The conference in the after
noon was fruitless OF results.
Last night the council met in special
session at the call of the mayor. At
ter much more discussion both sides
remaining firm, the town still refus-
ing to give anything but town orders
and Mr.. Meredith refusing To accept
them as cash, the contract abroga-
gated The order passed by the council
agreeing TO the contract was rescinded
and the matter went back 10 where 1t
was when the county court made its
first contract.
The bridge will be butt but no rails
ing will be done. A dangerous grade
crossing will result and weeks of delay
have been caused by something in
which somebody is at fault. Who
that is, our readers must Judge The
price to be paid for the iron work is
$500
Mr.. Meredith left for Marietta on
the noon train. He said that work
would begin on the bridge 1T once
and that in few weeks the iron
work would be ready to be put in.
How soon actual work here would
begin he did not say, but stated that
it would not be long The time for
the completion of the bridge has been
extended until January first.

Xenia Gazette Oct. p.

Washburn's big double minstrel
company gave performance to a
large audience in the Xenia opera
house last night and from beginning
to end the audience was kept in good
humor by spirited and enjoyable
entertainment. The performance is
full of song and melody and bright
hits and not for moment is it al
lowed to drag. A good minstrel
company like Washburn's is worth
going to see. 1t makes man for

Western The Engineer Pinioned
Under uis Engine and Dies.

WEIGH, w. Va, Oct. 28.-The
Norfolk and Western passenger train
No. IL was wrecked three miles above
this place at 4 O'Clock this evening,
caused by broken rail. The train
was late and was running alta high
rate of speed. The engine, baggage
car and two empty coaches plunged
over an embankment twenty feet
high.
Fireman Frank Biggs had one arm
mashed off and was injured inter-
nally. Baggagemaster Norris had
all of his teeth knocked out.
Engineer Addy was pinioned under
his engine and could not be removed
or relieved in any manner. He lived
one hour and half, and died in
that position. His home is in Blue
field.
The coupling broke between some
empty cars and the last two coaches,
which were well filled with passen-
gers, which was all that saved the

The isiyer Locks.

The bids for the construction of
Ohio river locks Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 5
were opened at Cincinnati by Major
Bixby, United States Engineer
There were fourteen bidders for all
or part of the work Messrs. Eigen-
mann & Hollenbach and Eichel &
Arnold, two firms of Evansville, Ind,
bidding as one concern, were the
lowest bidders by great deal, and
if the contracts are given to the low
est bidders they will build four
locks. A rough estimate of their
bid i S205, 600 for each lock, and
this is considered very low for the
work. The next lowest bidders were
Kingston d Sylvester, of Buffalo, n.
I Their bid approximates $780,
coo for each lock The bids are so
much lower than expected that it is
possible that contracts may be made
now for the construction of all four
locks. Captain William Martin, as
sistant engineer of Davis Island
dam, was pre- ent yesterday and as
sisted Major Bi<hy. 1t VIII take
Chief Clerk Cooper and his assist
ants two or three days to correctly
formulate all the bids and arrive at
exact figures.

Man works from sun to sun,
but woman's work is never
done" That's true. There
fore, if you can do anything to
tighten the burdens of a woman,
your duty is plain. a Standard
kitchen cabinet will do more to
help your wife in her daily work
than any article of furniture
ever put into a house. And it
pays for itself in a short time in
keeping the food clean and
preventing waste. Now there
is no reasonable excuse for your
not having one of these neces-
sary articles in your kitchen,
for you can secure it on a very
liberal installment plan. Call
at Brady Bros store any even
ing after supper and investi-
gate.

Laid TO Rest.

The interment of W. X. Cul-

at , o'clock, occurred yesterday
afternoon, after the arrival of
Robert Cullen Of Las Vegas,
y. NJ. father of deceased, who
got here on the afternoon train.
The procession was one among
the largest that has ever left
Ardmore. The pitiable condi-
tion OF Mrs. Cullen aroused the
deepest sympathy of all who
beheld her. This with the con-
dition of the aged father bowed
down with grief was a sight TO
make strong hearts weep. The
deceased was a member of the

was under the direction Of the
last two, the first named order
having no organization here.

MURDER AT DAVIS.
Charles Mccormick, StOne Mason Wen
Known In Ardmore. Murdered As ffe
Slept-A Suspect Arrested.

News of n foul murder COM
mitted near DAVIS, reached
here yesterday evening. From
a private source the ARDMoRE-
ITE received a letter this NOR
ming, which read:
a horrible murder was COM
one-half mile east of Davis
some time during Saturday
night. Charlie Mccormick. an
Irishman, and a stone mason
by profession, who lived alone
in n tent, was found this after
noon, laying on his bed. having
been murdered as he slept.
Two horrible gashes on the left
side of his head, from which
the brains had oozed, and a
bloody ak, lying underneath
the bed, told only too plainly
the story of his death.
1.-The blows must have caus-
ed instantaneous death, his
appearance Genotlng that he
had never stirred. The cover
ing on the bed was drawn up to
the chin as he Law there cold in
death" !"
Nothing is said in the letter
as to who the guilty party was.
and it is surmised that the
writer at the time knew not.
The officers here were appris-
ed of the affair, and a vigilant
watch was set. Two sleuths,
Deputies Booker and Pulliam,
at an early hour this morning
were convinced that all was
not as it should be in the cabin
home of a negro named Frank
| Brown, who lives in the north
part of the city. Their suspi-
cion proved to be correct, but
ere they reached the house
| Brown had left, and left hur-
riedly. Going in a northerly
direction, he was traced by his
bare footprints to the outskirts
of the city.
The officers mounted their
/ horses and after a search of a
couple of hours found Brown
under a ledge OF rocks buried in
sand and water to escape de-
lection in the bed of a creek.
That he left home hurriedly can
be inferred from the fact that
| he YVES absolutely naked, except
as to shirt and drawers.
He was at once ironed and il
this condition brought to town
and placed in Jail.
We understand that he denies
any knowledge whatever of the
crime.
He has been up there at work
and was there last Saturday.
The officers also arrested his
wife and placed her in Jail, but
she will probably be released
now that Brown has been ar
rested. His clothes were founC
in the house by the officers anC
sent in to the marshal's Office
for inspection.
1t is supposed that the objec
, of the murder was to get wha
