LAYING BRICK AGAIN.
Another Block is Going In fast and
some Others will Shortly follow.

Brick laying has been resumed on
the streets again after two weeks
suspension. The block from the
Peabody to Moreland's corner. The
indications are as we go to press
that it will be completed to day and
the attention of the men can be
turned toward the places higher up
the street. The job which is being
done is much more satisfactory than
some that has gone down and the
contractor is showing signs of de-
termination to get along a little fast
er than he has up to this time. We
hope that the reform may prove
more permanent than some he has
experienced.

STATEMENT TAKEN UP.
Presbytery at Kingwood is now
listening to Rev. Whites
side of the story


The attendance is very large What
the defense sets forth--It l. being
carefully considered Intention is to
finish today and adjourn tonight--Re-
sult cannot be obtained today Pro-
ceedings last night-What will be
done tonight-0thers notes on the
meeting.
The White caseis now on at King
wood 1t was taken up this after
noon. The session of the Presbyte-
ry began last night but there was
nothing done except the preliminary
organization. Rev. A. M. Buchanan
preached the opening sermon. Rev.
Emmitt B. Sloan, of Lewis county
was elected moderator for the SEES
sion and Elder 4, II. Simpson as
temporary clerk Rev. A. M. Blu
chanan is stated clerk.
This morning the standing com
mittees reported and their reports
showed a very satisfactory condition
prevailing among the churches OF
the presbytery.
The case of Rev. Charles White
was taken up this afternoon and the
statement is now being considered
by the presbytery The result will
not be learned in time to give it to
our readers this afternoon.
The main points of the defense are
as follows; Shortly after he assumed
the pastorate of the church at Clarks-
burg Che began paying attention to
Miss Holmes, which she reciprocated,
and on her part soon the attentions
ripened into lcve. They met first reg
ulary only at the weekly choir practice,
but soon she devised ways to meet him,
and after he moved his study TO the
church she came daily TO practice on
the organ, and sought other places to
be with him. He encouraged her feel
ings for him through, as he says, q
spirit Of vanity, but later married a
young woman to whom he was engag-
ed all this time. His marriage, he
says, instead Of checking the feelings
Of Miss Holmes, only seemed to inten-
sify them. The matter progressed for
a period Of two years, and eliminated
in her fatal visit to McKeesport.
While there she telegraphed to him to
meet her in Pittsburg. He did so,
aud confessed that they were In ho-
tel there under the registration of man
and wife, but he stoutly denies that
there was anything improper He adj
mits, moreover he did many indis-
Greet things, of which he now hearth
ly repents.
To night several addresses will be
delivered. These are by Rev. Henry
Runner, of Parkersburg, Rev. L. w.
Barr, of Fairmont and Rev. @.
Humble.
1t is hoped by the presbytery to fin
ish the work in time to adjourn finally
to night. The decision will likely be
made as has been forecasted in these
columns.

SOME FOOT BALL.
Games that have been Arranged
by the Management.

Schedule is not Complete by any means
and Others will be added later-Two
Games with Marietta-0ne of these
Is to be at their Home and the other
at Clarksburg-W & j. again to be
Played at Neutrality-suspicious. with
Virginia, Ohio and Westminster-Sea-
son will soon open.
Manager Romine of the Universi-
ty foot ball team telephoned this
morning that he has arranged for
another game with Marietta and the
arrangements which have been made
already with them have been changed
somewhat There are to be two
games. The first of these will be at
Marietta and will be played on the
date originally selected. 1t will be
on the fifteenth of October.
The other game will be on the
twenty ninth at Clarksburg The
two games will attract lots of inter
est and the crowd at Clarksburg is
expected to be big one. The Uni
versity men there are taking Il great
deal Of interest in the move and they
will see to it that everyone who can
get out will be there to witness it.
Marietta has practically the same
team that she had last year when
she played us such close game at
Fairmont and they viii put up a
stiff argument They will have the
advantage Of having played several
games when we face them and we
will have played but one
The rest Of the schedule is not
settled. There is to be a game with
W. & j. at Washington on the fifth
of November The Washington lads
will not come here and in order to
get a game with them we have to go
after them on their own grounds.
This does not look we'll in them as
they claim to be so fine that they
can whip anyone anywhere.
The University of Virginia game
will be the best one of the season. 1t
will be played in Charleston and
will be on the fourteenth of Novem-
Der. Krebbs will be in this game
and we will-win if having the best
team and the determination to get
there has anything to do with the
result. If we win we are sure to
have one hundred more students
from that section of the state in the
University the following year. The
Monday following the Charleston
game Ohio University who proved
to be such scoundrels last year at
Athens will be played at Parkers
burg and they had better avoid any
funny business or some old scores
will be settled then
Westminster will open the season
here on October seventh and the
game will no doubt be an interest
ing one. The Westminster boys al
ways have a good team and this year
they are getting into fine shape.
They have played several games al
ready and will be ready to give us a
run for their money. Last year we
beat them by small score.

tematically and TO good effect by the
larger companies. There have been
no extra large gushers in either, but
all wells have been above the average.
There is still much work to be done
in both. All things considered there
is every indication that the state will
hold its Own in the matter of gross
production, but sensational finds from
this time on will be scarce.

Newark, n. j., March b.
In 1868 Martin q. Nails, of Alexandria,
Va. refused to take the oath of allegiance
to tho Southern Conleleracy and was
promptly thrown into Alexandria prison
and sentenced to be shot. His family
mourned him as dead trying in vain to So
cure Possession of his body.
But the true-blue UnioDst was not dead
Before his sentence was carried out, the
Union forces took the prison and he was
released. No one could tell him where his
family had gone ard he came North. AZ
ter few years he learned that his wife had
died in the South aud that bis daughters
had gone West. There the clue ended.
He settled in Bloomfield. four miles from
Newark, and married again.
Mrs Mary F, Haller, of Baltimore and
Mrs. Charles b. Adkesson, Of Decatur,
ILL.,, came to Newark yesterday on visit.
They are the daughters of Nails. In this
city they were astonished to learn hat
their father was notsdead. They found
him in the Mountain Side Hospital in
Bloomfield He had fallen on the icy side
walk n few days before and broken his
hip. 1t was long time before he could
believe they were his daughters.
Both daughters are well-to-do and as
soon as thcir father is able to leave the
hospital Mrs. Haller will take him to
Baltimore where he will end his days.

The Needs OF the Navy Gone Over by

Washington, March 3-Secretary Long
spent good part of the morning in close
communication with Chairman BOutelle,
Of the House naval committee. He de-
MED himself to all other callers, and from
time to time S mt for the various bureau
chiefs OF the depar, ment
TIE conference between Secretary Long
and Representative Buutello proved to be
in reference to the regular naval bill, and
had M connection with emergency meas
urt,. Mr. Long said they had gone over
the question OF docks, equipment, etc, as
provided in he regular bill Captain
Crowninshinld had been called in to dis
CusS Tie mnttpr of additional men and
apprentices which had been recommend
ed. In no sense, the Secretary said, had
emergency questions come up, There
was no need of considering them now, he
said, A. no doubt existed that Congress
would act promptly should any emergency
requiring supplies beyond those Of the
regular appropriation bill arise.
If tho progress of he inquiry OF Havana
depends upon tho work o.. the wreckers, ns
seems to be the case, for nothing of sub.
stnntial Importance can be achieved until
the heavy debris Is roEOvel from the
wreck, considerable delay must inevitably
occur. 10 tow the large derricks from
Boston and New York to Havana is never
aspeedy and seldom safe undertaking. AS
II matter of fact the derrick Chief at Nor
folk is now storm bound just inside of the
Chesapeake Capes, although it was fully
expected that by this time she would be far
below HatterDs.
This makes it improbable that the der
rick can reach Havana harbor and get at
