POOLING FARMERS.
Nearly $50, 900 For A Horse Watch
Out For Them.

A number Of persons are going
about over the State inducing the
farmers to organize stock companies
that deal in fine bred horses. The
swindle is in the fact that the invest
ors pay several times the value of the
animals for their purchases.
Some men claiming to be from
Illinois, lately played this game sue
cessfully in Richie county and a
number Of well-to-do farmers are sad
der and wiser men.
The men engaged in this BUSH
ness go into community and start
subscription paper, inducing prom
inent men to take stock in a COM
pany.
After the names Of a few substan-
tial business men are secured, the
rest of the work is easy.
The horses that have been sold in
Richie county, are in fine condition,
but eighteen hundred dollars is rather
handsome price to pay for a horse.

FRAME COLLApsEs.
Harry Garrison's Bicycle Toes to
Pieces-Yery strange 4ceident-He
Was Not hurt.

While bicycling yesterday Harry
Garrison had peculiar accident to
befall him. In company with DIR.
A. L. Byoers he was riding near the
Dolls Run Pump station. They were
going over rough piece Of road when
the frame of his wheel parted without
any warning. He was thrown but
was not hurt at all The wheel was
going at good speed when the acci-
dent occurred. They had just ridden
over very rough piece OF road and
perhaps this caused the accident.
The frame had crystalized, breaking
in two about three inches from the
joint. Harvey had TO get horse to
come in on. His wheel was badly
wrecked. Besides the first break it
was broken in another place and the
chain was parted in the smashup.

The Atkinson Trial.

Speaking of the trial of Mrs. Atkin-
son the Wheeling Intelligencer well
says:
1t is unnecessary to discuss these
things now, since it would involve a
discussion of delicate matters in
which the public has no concern.
Suffice it to say that The Intelligencer
believes it reflects the sentiment of
the entire state in congratulating
Mrs. Atkinson and her husband, who
so faithfully stood by her in her trou-
BILE, that the effort to convict her of a
crime for which she could have had
no motive, has so far failed.
AS the wife of the governor of West
Virginia, Mrs. Atkinson has had the
profound sympathy of the people of
this state, and they have all felt a
deep concern for her from the day
when the newspapers of the country
announced her indictment in an in
terror county, on almost the very eve
of her approaching marriage to the
governor until the present, and they
will now rejoice with her and her
husband that they have been spared
the greater humiliation which might
have been theirs.

DURING the discussion of the X
Ray machines which has arisen
since the installation of those in the
University very wonderful discov-
cry has been made 1t has been dis
covered by some hitherto obscure
scientist whose name could be
recalled would thunder down the
ages that the rays can be produced
without a Crookes tube. Heretofore
nobody on earth has been able to
perform this feat and its discovery
in Morgantown will no doubt make
the city justly famous.
THE ministers of WayHesburg are
alarmed over the moral condition of
that town, and at meeting held one
night last week decided that on Sun
day each would discourse from the pull
pit on that subject. At the meeting
mentioned the sO-called carnival of
gambling, etc, at the fair was touched
up, and it. was claimed that there was
a seemingly permanent reign Of free
liquor and gambling in the town,
which is corrupting the young. The
ministers are also alarmed over the
announcement that public exhibit
tions of prize fights were to be given
there.

member of the University foot ball

thing to adopt everywhere.

THE Inauguration of the new pres

COMING THIS W ".
Another New Railroad to Cut 7 through
This County-Work May Begin This
Year.

This County-WorkM May Begin This
Year
There is no longer any doubt about
a new road having been planned to ex-
tend from the M onongahela valley to
the coal and coke regions of Fayette
and Westmoreland counties, and
eventually to West Virginia. The
completion of the Bessemer line makes
the new coal road necessity, and
insures it a profitable business, as the
Carnegie road has excellent dock facil-
tiles and can handle coal and coke
just as cheap as ore. Surveyors are
now at work running experimental
lines through the narrow valleys
which open passage ways to the higher
elevations above the rivers, and it is
given out that the road which is to be
builG will cross the divides and reach
vast tract of coal lands which have
never been developed owing to the
lack of railway facilities. One of the
lines surveyed runs through the
southwest corner of Westmoreland
county between the Youghiogheny
river and the Pennsylvania railroad.
Southwest branch, crosses the
YoughiogheDy river near Layton and
then turns due south to Uniontown,
and from Uniontown takes a south
westerly course and touches the Mon
ongahela river again near Point Ma
rion. From Point Marion easy grades
can be used either by the Cheat river
or the Monongahela to West Virginia
points. 1t is said that on the high
lands between the rivers named ex-
cellent grades can be obtained by
bridging the deep hollows. Such a
road would develop one of the great
est coal. regions in the State, and while
it would take several million dollars
to construct 1t the vast traffic in sight
would appear to justify the expense.
Many wealthy Pittsburg capitalists
are backing up the scheme, and some
Eastern investors are interested and
have expressed desire to take some
stock and lend money to push the work.
Just as soon as the most favorable
route is determined the full scope of
the plans will be announced and the
contract will be let at once, so that
the work can be commenced this year
II possible. -Pittsburg Post

A Bad Arm.

Kay Hess is suffering from very
bad arm, and it all came from what
was first thought to be a trifiing ac-
cideRt. Some weeks ago he burnt
his arm against a steam pipe. The
burn was only small one and but
little attention was paid to it and it
did not heal as quickly as was ex-
pected but infamed and grew worse
steadily. Finally the whole arm
infamed and it has now healed in
three places. Kay is unable to do
a particle Of work and suffers very
great pain from the diseased member
However it has begun to heal and
will shortly be we'll again.
