spantards Charge Inhumanitv.

Madrid, Sept. 20.-There is much in
dignation here at the fact that there
were 123 deaths during the voyage
among the 1000 Spanish soldiers who
have just arrived in Spain on board
the Spanish transport San Ignacio de
Loyela, from Santiago de Cuba The
Spaniards attribute this heavy death
rate to the inhumanity of the Ameri-
cans in obliging the sick Spaniards TO
embark and make room in the hos
pftals for Americans.

NARROW ESCAPE.
Mrs. George Hartman almost
burnt alive at her home.

Her clething caught when she was
standing in front of the crate She
did not notice it until the flames were
mp to her head-Her husband discoy-
ers the blaze and after a struggle
extinguishes it-He received seine
burns on the hands His wife is burnt
slightly.
Mrs. George Hartman had a narrow
escape from burning to death on Sun
day morning and escaped from the ex-
perience with only slight burns but
with terrible scare.
She was standing in front of the
fire when her dress caught from the
CRATE and the whole back of her
clothing was on fire before the blaze
was noticed
Her husband was in the room and
his attention was attracted TO his
wife in some way and he noticed the
Are. He attempted to put 1t out
with his hands by tearing the burning
clothing off but he failed to do this
on account of the strength of the tex
ture OF the cloth.
Seeing the futility OF the measures
that he was employing he threw her
on the bed in the room and rolled her
in the bed clothes smotherlng the
blaze before it went any further.
In doingithis he burned his hands
rather severely but received no other
burns Of any moment. Mrs. Hart
man was not burnt very badly but In
case her husband had not been there
her life in all probability would have
been sacriiicedA
As II was an escape from serious
injury to either of them is somewhat
remarkable and they should be con-
graduated that it was no worse.

A new PLANT
Greensburg Boiler Company is
Looking For a Site.

They Have Been in Morgantown-Other
Towns in This Section Visited and
spected-Dicision will be Made
Soon And the Removal will fake
Place at Once if at all-ReasOns For
Wanting to Move MorgantOwn Has
Good Show For the Plum.
Several members of the Greensburg
Boiler company have been ia Morgan
town and other towns in this section
of the state looking for d location for
their plant. They are going TO move
if they can find any town to suit
them. They are now too close To
Pittsburg and want some new terri
tory to work in.
The territory through this section
of the state is just what they want
so they say. For one hundred miles
IN every direction they have no com
petition and they think that there lis
great future before the section
when it begins to strike its gait
They would not state as to what
consultation would be held after they
got back home and that they would
then decide what they were going to
do about moving.
They were shown over town by Mr..
Grant and other public spirited citi-
zens and went away from Morga ntown
with a very pleasant remembrance of
the way in which they were treated.
The company did not ask for any
| thing and what ever demands they
may make will be modest ones. The
inducements that any town may offer
will not avail in case they do not want
TO go to the place. Neither will they
stand back on any thing in case the
town don't want to do very much after
they decide to locate in it.
If the removal is made it will come
right away. They employ from fifty
to seventy five hands and pay large
wages. We hope that they may de-
| eide to come to Morgantown to locate.
We will be very glad to see them and
will do all that we can to make
them endorse the step.

TO SEE THE BROWNIES.
Three Thousand persons filled Massey

tThe Brownies in Fairyland"
abroad with their fimsy tineries in
Massey Hall last night captivated the
hearts Of full three thousand people.
-Four score little fairies, ranging in age
from to Is, in their dancing, frolics
and singing made time pass all too
quickly to those who looked on the
beautiful scene. Fairies and Brown
les they made merry among themsel-
yes, and the great audience came
away insisting Palmer CoX's Brownies
never had more beautiful representa-
ton than in this production at Mas
sey Hall. Master Bernie Rantenberg
sang Daddy" in high soprano, and
so well did he succeed that the Gov
ernor-General and the Countess of
Aberdeen joined heartily in the de-
mand for an encore Kentucky

also encored, and this was followed
by an admirable flower dance. Mas
ter Tony Langton sang tCherry Ripe, !"
and was applauded.
The matinee is being, played this
afternoon to standing room only. !"
This is the third time in the history
of Massey Hall that the great sign
has been brought into use. THE

by the $50 Toronto children, is the
talk of the city. To-night's perform

THANKSGIVING OBSERVANCE
Gov. &. Wesley Atkinson tells Why we
Should Celebrate.

Most heartily do | endorse the Gus
tom Of our Government in recognizing
the hand Of God in all things. We
have free country and free people,
and we ought to thank God for it,
We should thank Him for peace and
prosperity throughout our land. We
should thank Him for our triumph
over Spain. All should praise Him
for the uplifting that humanity,
morals and religion have received as a
result of our conflict with the Spanish
empire. 1t seems to me that the
downfall of Spain means the uplifting
of the human family all around the
world. 1t appears to me that God
has decreed that the musty monarch
les must go, and that the people
everywhere shall have greater and
broader liberties, both ia civil and re-
ligious matters. Men should be allow.
ed to do as they please, so long as
they please to do right. No man
should be allowed to own another.
No man should be allowed to trample
upon the rights and liberties of anoth-
er. God has decreed that this shall
not be done. History has revealed
the hand of God throughout the ages,
and when men recognize an oyerruline
Providence they make no mistake.
On Thanksgiving Day families and
churches and communities gather
around one common center, and God
is honored and the people are bettered
This year, above all others, the Amer.
lean people should be thankful fol
what they have and are.

Mr.. McGraw was asked by your cor
respondent whether any further steps
would be taken by him to contest the
legality of the election, and in reply
he said: mo, not for the purpose
of securing the office. "a certificate
of election, with even a majority in
my favor on the face of the returns,
he said, would be of no avail, and
would simply result in a fruitless con-
test before Republican House Of
Representatives
My position, he further said, was
that | believed fragrant wrong had
been perpetrated in several counties
in this Congressional district, and /
felt that ! owed it to the party, as
well as to myself, to do all within my
power in an honorable way to locate
the particular places in which the
wrong had been committed. The
next Democratic candidate for Con-
gress in this district will be able to
safeguard the situation and prevent a
repetition OF the conditions which
have obtained in this district for the
pdSU SlA years, lIOlH cNlucHCeo, HUT
nation and proofs which / will place
in his hands in respect to the Repub-
lican counties.
In the recount in Hampshire did
you get the benefit OF the Democratic
votes which were thrown out by the
commissioners of election?
No; the fact is in respect to those
votes that in the contest for county
superintendent Of schools in that
county there were excluded $50 Dem
ocratic ballots, which were scattered
in such way as TO cause the commits
sioners of election to exclude them
from the count, and the County Court
sitting as Canvassing Board, sus-
tanned the action of the election COM
missioners.
How about Preston, Tucker and
Monongalia counties?
The records of the canvassing
boards in these counties speak for
themselves, and must carry but one
conclusion to any fair mind.
Mr.. McGraw has not yet been able
to get out of his house, but expects to
go within a day or two to the Hot
Springs in Virginia.

DIED ALONE.
In the mountains-A Randolph
County man.

Found dead in the mOuntains-The
body where his comrades had parted
from him after days hunt-De-
ceased was gentleman and esteemed
by all who knew him.
S. E. Lorraine Crews, an English
man, living alone on Cheat mountain
in Randolph county, was found dead
sitting under tree in the woods with
in few hundred yards of his house,
with his gun in his hand, Friday
morning.
Crews is the man who ran from
Mingo to Marlinton, 25 miles in 2
hours and SO minutes, on the oath
day of September last, after two
months hard training. A coroner's
jury returned verdict of death from
cold and exhaustion. On Thursday
Mr.. Crews, with his tenant William
Painter and two others, hunted all
day for bear in Cheat mountain, track
ing in light snow which had fallen.
Returning late, when about mile
from home Crews said he ''felt done, "
and urged the others to leave him and
hasten home as they had farther to
go, and assuring them that he knew
the way perfectly. The next morning
Painter CHANGED to go to the house
and found that Crews had not re-
turned. Frequently no person has
visited the house in weeks, it being
on one of the highest and most mac
cessible peaks Of Cheat.) After d
short search his body was found.
He had wandered in an aimless way
some distance from the path down a
run, trailing his gun. Thursday
night was extremely cold and the
temperature probably dropped to zero
on Cheat mountain. The funeral oc-
cured Monday at Mingo. "The
Squire" was about 20 years old, and
has been in America six years. He
was very popular.

Meet With Them.

Modest requests for FIVE Hundred
j lDollars More Manted.i it to Pay Debts
With-town Refuses to Give Them
any Thing or to Treat With any one
But the Attorneys in the Case-They
are Out OF Town-Seyeral Attach
meuts on Property Served.
Council held its regular meeting
last night. There was the usual
amount of routine business transacted
and the case of Berry and Kidder was
taken up. The contractors were here
and they preferred several requests to
the town.
A number of creditors have filed
attachments on roller which the
firm had in use here. This roller is
claimed by two parties. Berry and
Kidder say that it is theirs and the
agent for the company which sold it
to them, Mr.. Donovan of Uniontown
says that it is his Nothing has been
paid on it and he is held responsible
for it by the company that he repre-
sentS.
He came here Saturday and was
taking it away when an attachment
was taken on it by q. Shisler who was
creditor Of the contractors to the
tune of about one hundred dollars.
Morgan Utt who is in five hundred
also served another attachment on it..
The contractors wanted the town to
satisfy Utt and they promised to fix
all other claims themselves. The
council did not see it in that light
and they refused to take any action.
Cox and Baker who are representing
the PAYERS were not in town and the
council did not want to treat with
any one but them. However they
will not pay the amount or any other
sum on the paving. They have paid
all they intend to pay.
They also went over the matter of
the paving that is being done and are
satisfied with the progress of the work
and at the same time ordered it car
ried toward as fast as it could be
done.
Mr.. Berry left town on the noon
train. Before he left town he settled
number of the smaller claims against
the firm but the attachments against
the roller are still in force.
