A DISGRACED PREACHER
Who May Get Back Into the Ministry,

The following from the Fairmont
Index will be of interest here:
The many friends of the Rev. j. F.
Chenoweth will be glad to know that
the M. E. conference at its last session
practically restored him to member
ship in that body. He has been put
on the supply list of ministers and no
doubt next year will be restored to
full ministerial labors. 1t has always
been felt among great many people
that Rev. Chenoweth was harshly
treated and his conduct since has been
such as to elicit the sympathy of the
public, which will be pleased to learn
that there is now full determination
to remove the stigma that was placed
upon him. Rev. Chenoweth was an
eloquent and talented minister and
his restoration will bring back to the
conference an able and Jealous
member.

REGULAR Washers.
Sentimental Girls Cause Embarras.
ment to Yankees i'm Porto Rico.

Sentimental village maids fell deep
ly in love with the Yankee Cids when
soldiers first arrived in Porto Rico
says the Cincinnati Enquirer. Girls
mature early on thatisland, and often
at 10 and / are adult women. They
made love in Spanish style, and in
many cases annoyed the victims Of
their admiration with their perth
nacity. Making love consists in
smiling upon the object of alteration
through the shutters of a easement
or between iron grills of veranda,
Or else in writing fiery letters of af-
lection from early dawn to dewey eve.
One young man captured the fancy
of belle, and. to his surprise, became
the recipient of a deluge of love letters
which were thrown at him from over
the wall of garden or pushed through
a hole in the wooden gate. They ar
rived1hourly, half-hourly and some
times every ten minutes. And after
he had received 200 he became tired
and asked his chief to change his
post.

GREAT COAL OUTPUT.
Chief Mine Inspector J. W. Paul
gives out Encouraging Infor-
nation.

Our state will soon Rank first in the
Coal Industry New Mines Being Con-
stantly Developed.
The Gazette says Chief mine
inspector j. w. Paul talked interest
ingIy to the Gazette yesterday re-
garding the coal production of West
Virginia and his forthcoming report
for the year ending june '30th,
1898 Some very remarkable and
significant statistics have been gath
cred by Mr.. Paul, and his report will
be the most complete the depart
ment has ever issued.
The total production for the year
will amount to over 100000 tons,
an increase of nearly 100000 tons
over the year before. In Fayette
alone the increase was over 10000
tons over the preceding year, and
the output was increased in every
county in the state except Mineral,
Mason and Putnam, there being
some falling off IN the latter one
owing to several tipples being wash
ed away or otherwise destroyed. In
Marion, the increase was about 300,-
900 tons.
This general increase was due
largely to the steady trade during
the summer. The lake shipments
for 1913 also exceeded those of the
previous year by about 100000 tons.
Then the market for West Virginia
coal in the great northwest is rapid
" and steadily growing, and this,
too, in the face of the fact that for
the most part it is entirely unsolicit-
ed. The shipment of coal to foreign
countries is also increasing, and one
firm ia Marion county, before the
breaking out OF the war, shipped at
least 60 per cent Of It's output to
Mexico.
New mines are being developed in
different parts OF the State, and the
output for the present fiscal year
will not, under normal conditions,
fall below 100000 tons, and will
possibly exceed that amount.
An encouraging phase OF the sit
uation is noted in Mercer county,
which, during the last fiscal year, re-
gained her prestige and shipped over
a million tons OF coal, the first time
the million mark has been reached
there since 1891, when the Mercer
mines had an output Of 100000
tons.
Over 1000 more men were en-
ployed in the West Virginia mines
last year than during the year pre-
ceding, and the number of days
worked is considerably in excess of
1867. The general conditions of
the coal trade over the State at
present is about normal, with some
falling off in the the New River field.

SCARED BY IDLE RUMOR
Lovers Call Mistaken for an Attempt
at Burglary

Residents of Washington street and those
of the intervening streets from Figue-
roa to Hoover are considerably excited over
an alleged burglary and hold-up supposed
to have been perpetrated some time last
Monday night. Just what house was en-
tered has not been revealed; neither can the
man be found who was held up. Every one
living on the streets mentioned, however,
and on those adjacent to them have heard
these rumors, and stories Of twilight ma
rauders and midnight highwaymen, but
each one speaks from hearsay and the orig
inator Of the yarn still remains perdu.
Mounted Officer Woodward, who earns
his living by the sweat of his horses
flanks, has intimate knowledge of both re-
ported occurrences. He was patrolling
Washington street last Monday evening
and was nearing Figueroa street at his ac-
customed gait, when he was hallooed by
an elderly lady, who, without questioning,
instantly admitted being widow and con-
fessed that she was scared. A friend had
told her, she said, that the house of a
friend of hers, which was that of her
friends friend, had been entered by man
unlimited to call, who had left surrepti-
tiously and without the formality of leav-
ing his card, as it is customary to do when
visiting on Washington street.
And then the frightened widow implored
Officer Woodward to make himself more
familiar with the exterior of her house and
the landscape surrounding it by passing
by 1t oftener that he has been wont to do
The theory is advanced by more than
one individual in that locality that perhaps
the supposed burglar was the STEADY OF
the servant girl who works in the house
that is said to have been "burglarized,' -
though 1t is not claimed that anything was
found to be missing, and that, hearing the
footsteps of his mistress mistress, he made
an egress so unduly hasty as to excite
the suspicious Of the latter. OF course, this
is mere conjecture-but so is the other.
AS to the hold-up at the corner of Wash
ington and Hoover streets, the motorman
Of car III of the University line, who de-
ellped to give his name, said that last Mon
day night, at about 1880 o'clock, man
bearded his car at Washington and Hoover
streets and claimed to have been robbed of
all his money but cents by man who
Rlaced pistol in close proximity to his
heart. He did not register his name with
the motorman, and he is, therefore, forever
lest to local police history.
Officer Woodward has something to say
In this connection. also, but 1t differs ma
teFially from the story told by the motor
man. The officer claims that on the night

DRINK and DISSIPATION
CAUSE THE DOWNFALL OF A
DIRECTORY SOLICITOR
F. D. Farwell Arrested Charged With
Forging the Name Of a Business
Man to Advertising Contract

The old story Of drink, dissipation and
gambling is what has landed F. D. Farwell
behind the bars Of the county jail with the
crime of forgery placed against his name.
Farwell who has been employed by the
Los Angeles Directory company as So
licitor for several months, was arrested
on a warrant issued out of Justice Young S
court at half past o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon. He was unable to give bail and
spent the night in prison.
He is a man of considerable ability, and
has always been considered a more than
ordinary competent solicitor. Though he
was well known to be a hard drinker, the
debauch of the last ten days has been
longer than usual, and several contracts
turned in by him lately have been the
cause Of considerable trouble owing to
the fimsy pretexts on which they were
taken. Yesterday, however, he turned in
ten dollar order signed by A. Wolfarth,
harness and saddlery manufacturer of
l60 North Los Angeles street, on Feb. 18th
last, which looked decidedly irregular, and
Manager Burks sent the order 20 Wo,-
farth, asking him to afflx his 20. K.'' This
the latter refused to do, claiming that he
had authorized no such contract, and on
the contrary had refused to talk to Far
we'll at all, who was in an intoxicated
condition. On his expressing willinNness'to to
make an affidavit to that effect, deposi-
ton was taken before a notary and war
rant sworn out in Justice Young's cour.
by Superintendent H. H. Edmunds, charg-
ing Farwell with forgery.
Some difficulty was encountered in find
ing him, but Deputy Constable Dave Mar
tin managed to arrest him as he was COM
ing home to his supper He refused to talk
and expressed no surprise at his arrest
which he seemed to take as matter OF
course. He will probably be arraigned this
morning.

WANT PUMPING CABLES
WITH THE OIL MEN
THE TROUBLES OF MoNLUx
Fire Commission Wants New Horses.
Underground Alarm System
Working-Notes

The special committee on oil wells Of the
city council, composed Of Chairman
Baker and Messrs. Mathuss and Nickel.
met last evening at the city hall to hear
the petition OF M. s. Croswell and to listen
to the grievances OF other well owners in
the oil district. The main point submitted
by the petitioner was The lack of power
vested in OIL Inspector Monlux. who has
no discretion to permit the continuance
Of old pumping cables across streets, main
tanned for more than. one year before an
ordinance was passed to regulate the
same, when there is a pumping plant in
the block. where the well is located. which
could pump that we'll. and in consequence
is forced to recommend that such permls-
sion be denied. in the face Of the equities
and the ruinous consequences to the we'll
owners Of such recommendation.
The report of the oil well committee had
been adopted In full at the meeting Of the
city council of March 7th, with the ex-
ception OF section 4, which had been
amended to read so that special privileges
be restricted to those cases only where
physical conditions were such that oil
wells could not be pumped in the blocks
where they are located.
Inspector Monlux was not in favor Of
being given discretionary powers in the
premises, but he advocated that IL the
council intended to grant special privileges
to certain well owners. in the face of the
ordinance, 1t would be better plan for the
council to give all well owners the right
to run wires across the streets, provided
that they were properly and solidly sup
ported.
1t was the sense Of the committee that
II the oil inspector certified that the petit
toner came under the head of section of
the ordinance. and that in each case the
physical conditions of the location of his
we'll were such that 1t could not be
pumped in the same block there would be
no difficulty in the councils granting the
special privilege under the usual restric-
tions.

Another Poker Game Raided

the Ventura saloon, located on North Main

The place is conducted by a man
