'Tf she were only of good family"
 Peter Dunlap said this for the hun dredth time, glancing at his typewriter, said typewriter being 19 years old and pret- ty.
 What is good family, MT. Dunlap" asked the typewriter one day.
 Why, why, my dear, what do you mean?" stammered Peter Dunlap, were were you reading my thoughts?'
 "Oh, no,' said the typewriter, Miss Sweet. smiling demurey. T was only thinking a little for myself. Is your family a good family. MT. Dunlap?'
 ''The finest in this country" said Peter Dunlap, puffing out his cheeks and swell ing out his chest, "and we have been bank CTS in the city of St. Louis for sixty years, one Dunlap following the other"
 'And-and-were your wives also bank ers?' murmured Miss Sweet as sweetly as her name.
 Peter Dunlap looked at her sharply and coughed.
 My mother,' said he, twas a bankers daughter; her mother was the daughter of Lady Cadogan of Engand; her cousins were related to an earl and the earls chill dren intermarried again into our family w oiSi hiiShl say, MISS sweet, or noble descent"
 "Yes, yes,eI thought so," lisped Miss Sweet very sweetly.
 It was no secret of the office nor to Pe ter Dunlap, nor to Miss Sweet herself, that there was something more than the click ing Of the keys between the proprietor and his pretty typewriter. Touching the ivory buttons, Miss Sweet had touched the heart or her employer at the same time, and for the last six months matters had been com Ing daily to a crisis between them Miss Sweet thought she loved the proprietor indeed she was pretty sure that she did and as Peter Dunlap he was very certain that his heart was only in one spot and that spot was under the neat shirt waist worn by Miss Sweet.
 Most young women under the circum- stances would have felt very much miffed at the thought of being loved and rejected TOT reasons which they could not help, but Miss Sweet was not like other girls She viewed the fact of her poverty with equanimity and was undisturbed by the Knowledge that it was only her poor so- cial position that kept the banker from proposing to her. Not that she was una ware of the state of affairs, in fact they had talked it over.
 You see, my dear[' for Peter Dunlap called Miss Sweet "my dear'-.it is this way: My sisters are very proud. Elsa is the wife of an admiral Clara married millionaire, my only brother is yachts man and cup-holder, and I must uphold the family name. Now my dear-for the twentieth time-I repeat to you that I love you very dearly, and if I could, would ask you to be my wife, but-but- you see just how it is'
 ITO be sure," said Miss Sweet, with ready show of that sympathy for which the banker loved her among other quail ties, T understand all about you MT. Dun lap, the rich banker of one of the proud est families in the city, cannot create social sensation by marrying your type writer, who was so penniless when she came to him that she had lived in a work ing girls home.'

"A FAMILY AFFAIR.

I Peter Dunlap turned his head from the l window where he was standing and looked at his typewriter.
 i've often asked you to tell me-" said l he.
 I'll tell you more about it tomorrow" l said she now I am going home"
 A minute later he saw her whizzing under | his office window on her bicycle.
 Strange she would never tell me any | thing about her folks" he unused. | The next afternoon when the other clerks | had gone he asked her again. "Oh, I don't know" said she. q was thinking about relative of mine who was bankers daughter, and another one who was the daughter Of Lady cadogan of England, and several others who were re- lated to lords and dukes and earls and plenty of rich people in this country.
 What do you mean? ?'s demanded Peter Dunlap, turning around in his chair and facing her.
 q suppose you never heard of a branch of your family named Sweet, did you?" asked Miss Sweet prettily.
 Sweet It seems to me that I have! There was a second cousin of my mother who went away and married a school teacher a college professor or something like that. He died and left her and there was little girl, I believe"
 "Yes,' said Miss Sweet, there was little girl.'
 ''It isn't possible-it isn't -"
 "Yes, it is.''
 "vhy haven't you told me before?"
 "Oh, 1 enjoyed hearing you talk about family and 1 have been having little fun of my own.'
 A few weeks later MT. Dunap's sister, the admirars wife, received letter from a very distant little cousin in the far west She had been left an orphan with small means. and wished to come to St. Louis visit.
 The admiral's wife said to her brother, "Of course 1 shall invite her to come for a long stay. She must make her home with us, the poor little thing, for she says she is only 19, and next winter, if she is pretty and presentable, I shall bring her out I should really enjoy having nice young relative"
 ingly."
 It was quite a society romance. They tell it yet in St. Louis, how the wealthy midde-aged Peter Dunlap fell in love at first sight with his fourth cousin on his mothers side and how she, though less than half his age, returned his affection. The wedding very pretty one and Mrs. Dunlap, nee Sweet, was quite an inn posing parsonage in her long veil, her da- mond tiara and her magnificent silk dress, the first of which was loaned her by the wife of the admiral, who said that all of the brides of the house of Dunlap had worn that veil.

 It was nearly three days before the sub ject was alluded to again, for it was an old matter with Peter Dunlap and his typewriter, and one which, though they discussed it often, did not come up every day This was more Miss Sweets fault than Mr. Dunlap's for the banker would have talked it over with the young lady, and would gladly have come to some ar engagement by which he could marry her

 What is good fafnily, MT. Dunlap?" re- peated Miss Sweet twice in one day. "I think l have. .asked you that once before."
 Why one that is-er-why a good family is-a good family, don't you know?"
 fYes, exactly,' said Miss Sweet, but I was wondering if we agreed on the sub ject. Now my family is, well, should cer- tainly have called 1t good, though they all died and left me poor" slsis

 WOOD PULP's VARIOUS USES.
The Number of Things Made From It
 Surprising to the Uninitiated

From the Lewiston .(Me.) Journal.
 It almost looks as f-the old saying "Cot- ton is king might be revised to apply to wood pulp. Wood pulp has been used as a substitute for iron. steel, wood, stone, glass, ivory, and innumerable kinds of ami nal and vegetable fibre. As material for car wheels the manufacturers have found it superior to any kind of metal, be- ing about three times as durable as steel and much more elastic. It has been found

TRAMP WANTS CASH.
So He Gets After Wealthy Citizens
About not Paying Taxes.
Grafton Sentinel.

Numerous citizens Of Wheeling are
just now being put to annoyance by
an individual or two who want lit
tie pin money and propose to get il
hunting up the tax-lsting records OF
parties who are said to be somewhat
Indifferent about giving in true list
OF some property to the assessors.
Some three hundred suits have been
instituted before magistrates.
Through his attorney j. g. w. Me-
Culley M. w. Bird, who has been act
ing as informer In cases where various
persons have been charged with fail
ing to return to the assessor the
amount which they have loaned out,
on Saturday notified the assessor OF
1879 additional suits for the penalty
of 5 per cent, on the amount loaned
which the law provides shall be paid
to the informer. II Bird and Nc
Culley win in all the suits they have
instituted in these cases they will
clean up about $40, 600. So far they
have only reached the letter M In
their list Of suits and IL is supposed
that almost as many more will yet be
instituted
Counsel for some of the defendants
have entered plea for annulment,
claiming that the matter is one for
the grand jury and not magistrates.
The plea has been taken under adj
visement.
In preliminary trial 1t was brought
out that the informer went from
town to town probably on this same
business.

MORGANTOWN's BRICK PAVEMENT.
Uniontown People Don't Think Much
of the job.

Uniontown people who have lately
visited Morgantown bring back poor
reports OF the new brick pavement
that is going down in that university
town. They think it is bad job of
paving, too cheap to last long.
One OF the parties from this place
TO inspect it was Mr.. Funkhouse Of
the firm of Funkhouse & Coates, who
are putting down the new pavements
in Uniontown. He was curious to see
how the Morgantown contractor could
put in bid so far below his own.
After examining the work and being
asked by Morgantownite what he
thought of it, he replied.
eff would put down such a pave
ment as that / could pave your whole
town in two weeks. News Stand

MEETS IN WHEELING.
State Geological Commission in
Session There Wednesday.

DIR. White who has Direction of the
Work has Started to attend the meet
ing-He is verJ well Satisfied with
the Way Things are Going Lots of
Good Work is being done and 1t Is not
Costing much Meney-Two very good
Points to take before the Legislature.
Other Notes.
DR.. l. c. White has started for
Wheeling going by the way of Pitts
burg. He will attend the meeting
of the state geological commission
which meets in Wheeling on We'd
nesday. All the other members of
the commission will be there and
there will be considerable business
of Importance to be transacted. This
is the first meeting of the body that
has been held this year. The meet
ing Is held now at the place it is in
order to reduce expenses as the
nembers wish to make as good an
impression on the legislature as
possible when they go before them.
Ordinarily Morgantown will be
used as a meeting place and the first
meeting of the board was held here.
DR.. White is director of the sur.
vey of the state which is being made
and which is one of the most impor
tant of the many important things
before the commission to do for the
state.
The establishment of true merid-
ians in each county of the state is
also an important feature of the
work and that is having great deal
Of time devoted to it. These have
been set up in about half of the
counties the plan being to reach the
inaccessible counties before the bad
weather sets in when those which
can be easily reached by the rail
roads will be attended to-
The director is well pleased with
the way the work is going on and
says that he hopes to make very
favorable report to the legislature
when it meets and show them by I'M
mistakable figures that the commits
sion is one Of the most important
in connection with the states adj
ministration.
An admirable record for economi-
cal expenditure is also being made
and this will have it's influence on
the people who have control of the
purse strings of the state when it
comes to question Of continuing
the work.

SURVEY RESUMED.
Cheat River Road again being
Located from Cheat Haven
Through.

River Followed to Rowlesburg-Th
Survey was Stopped on Account of the
War-The full Corp is there again
However and the final Location is be-
ing Made-The Road will Likely be
Built Soon-The West Side will also
Receive attention within the next few
Months-Next Summer will more
than Likely see Lots OF Railroad con-
struction in the County.
The surveying on the line from
Cheat Haven To Rowlesburg has
heen stopped for some time on ac
count Of the war scare. This as all
other things in the line of industrial
development in this section was held
back by the war although no one be-
lieves that it would have been hurt
a particle If it had gone right along.
The railroad ON the west side has
been delayed until spring for the
same reason.
However the indications are now
that the Cheat road will go right on
and no further delays can be seen.
The surveyors are there now having
gone through Cheat Haven on Tues
day on their way up the river and
they will soon be busily engaged
again in making the survey.
They are making the final location
having made the preliminary sur
yeys at previous times and this time
will see che end of their labors, They
OF course do not know the intentions
of the company for which they are
working but the men who have been
seen say that they have no doubt
but that in very short time the
trains will be running up the valley
of Cheat.
The right of way clear through
has been bought by Mr. Wilson, of
Cheat Haven who has that part Of
the matter in hand and there is
nothing seemingly in the way of the
completion of the road.
The advantages of the connection
to the country through which it
passes are so many and so obvious
that there is no need to recapit-
ulate them. The people are very
anxious to see it go and as the in
vestment bids fair to be very good
one for the men who are behind the
movement it will likely prove go.
We should certainly like to see it
completed along with the other rail
road building which has been in the
air in this county for SO long. How
ever this now seems to have the
promise of being the first completed.
The one on the West Side will be
close second and the coming sum
mer may see a gereat deal of rail
road construction in .this vicinity.
The entering wedge is what will
start them and after it gets to going
there is no telling when it will stop
as capital is very much inclined to
go where other capital is being in
vested in a particular line.

investigate the Pittsbnrg end of the
affair. He saw Mrs Keener there
and the result OF his labors is given
in this mornings Times 1t is as
follows:
Roger O'Mara, who was advised OF
Maj. Keener's disappearance by long
distance telephone from Morgantown
yesterday, said last night;
sKeener is not in this part Of the
country, you may be sure of that
They waited too long in Morgantown
to make his arrest an easy matter.
Since Sunday or Saturday night he
has had time enough to. get 1000
miles away without danger of being
apprehended.
Mrs. J.L. Keener has been in Pitts
burg visiting friends at 215 Dinwid-
die street since last Saturday. She is
said to have arrived unexpected dur
ing the evening. She gave her friends
to understand, it is said, that she
had come to Pittsburg purposely to
meet her husband on his return from
Philadelphia, and then go back TO
Morgantown with Rim. Early Sun
day morning Maj. Keener arrived at
the Dinwiddie street house. His
friends noticed that he was without
a satchel or baggage of any kind His
wife was still in her Groom when he is
said to have gone upstairs and told
her that he had been robbed of his
money. Maj. Keener told his friends
that he had had a large amount of
money, received from the sale of the
cattle in Philadelphia, and important
papers in his satchel It was lying on
the seat beside him when the train
began the ascent of the Allegheny
mountains. Shortly after, he says,
he fell asleep, and when he woke up
his satchel was gone.
Maj Keener is said TO have left
Pittsburg Monday morning, telling
his wife he was going to try aud find
some trace of the satchel and money.
He did not appear to be much wor-
ried over his loss, it is said, and spent
Sunday is going to various points Of
interest about Pittsburg.
Mrs. Keener is very retieent on the
matter. Concerning the deciding Of
Maj. Keener's property to her, she
denied all knowledge of it, ''If such
thing has been done, ssshe said, I" it
was done without consulting me, land I
think | would have known if such a
transaction had been made .
Mrs. Keener's friends say she is
in complete ignorance of the where
abouts of her husband, and that
while trying to control her feelings,
she is deeply worried. She had intend
ed going to Morgantown, w. Va,
yesterday morning, it is said, but
was prevented by the arrival OF John
Keener, Maj. Keener's brother. Mr..
Keener acted as though quite mad
over something, and is said to have
expressed himself strongly on what
had occurred. When he learned that
Mrs. Keener thought of going home
he told her not to think of it, as she
had no home to go to, as the author
tiles had locked up the house.

Sited Up Street, Delightful Con-
cert heard by Hundreds of People.

The excursion from Uniontown
came in on Tuesday afternoon on
time, having taken the Mason at
Rices Landing. They were under the
direction of Tom Protzman of Morris
Cross Roads who bossed the whole
push from Drum major down. About
three hundred people were on the
boat and the looks of the crowd very
favorably impressed the town people
who turned out TO see them.
When the boat pulled into the
wharf committee headed by the
mayor met them and invited them up
town. The band was invited to the
court house square here number of
chairs had been placed and they rem
dered one of the most delightful SER
enades that has been heard here for
a long time.
Rutters was always a great fav0rite
here and they add new laurels to
those which they have already won
on their former visits to the place.
We are certainly glad to have met the
Uniontown people in this pleasant
manner and hope that they may
have an early opportunity to repeat
regret the visit.
