. Fine t,hance for the oMn.

The offer which has been made by
the company who proposes lu'rect
nesas glass factory here provided the
town gives them small bonus, gives
US one or the finest opportunities
which ever came TO the town. The
new concern will start out with at
least l25 men and will increase that
force as fast as the trade will Justify
it. They will have good trade from
the first as the ware which the Seneca
sells makes a market for the new ware.
All that has to be done is to occupy
the field which is ready for the move.
So prosperity is assured for the con-
Germ from the start.
Working as it does in harmony
with the Seneca, both will feel the
good effects and the business men of
the community will get more from
the old factory than they. have been
enjoying. This is no small Item.
The employees of this factory are paid
every year more than one hundred
thousand dollars. Nearly every cent
of this is spent with the merchants
and business men. This has made
good times in Morgantown from the
first day the factory began operations.
The new factory will add very much
to what we already have. 1t will add
five or six hundred population to our
town. That increase can only be
productive of good Every possible
argument exists why we should grasp
the opportunity offered us and there
eau be nothing urged against it.
The meeting tonight is to consider
the matter. Every man who is in
terested in the town and its prosperity
should be present and help the cause
along to the extent of his ability.
Concerted action is all that is required
and we shall have another splendid
industry.

SERIOUS RUNAWAY.
Sam Pickenpaugh and Wife
Have Narrow Escapes from
Death.

Runaway the Result OF a Collision Dne
to Criminal CareIessness on the Part
Of an Unknown Man.-Mr. and Mrs.
PfckeEpaugh thrown Out - Buggy
Completely Demolished--iIers Run
From the Mile Ground to town.
Thurday night Sam Piekenpaugh
and wife had very narrow escape
from a terrible death in a runaway.
As it was they were thrown oat and
he was dragged for some distance
through the mud How he escaped
from serious injury is a miracle. The,
accident occurred on the Mile Ground
near DR.. Hopkins residence.
Pickenpaugh had been out on the
mountain after his wife who had been
visiting her father for some time and
they were near the residence of Dr.
Hopkins on their way back. A car
riage was heard coming up at rapid
rate and it was getting dark. Pick
enpgugh pulled over to the side of
the road to allow the approaching
carriage to pass, but the driver of it
did not seem to appreciate the kind
ness. He drove right at the buggy
and collision occurred. The horses
became frightened and ran off.
They soon got away from the driver
and Sam, seeing the peril his wife was
in, threw her out. She luckily
alightcd in soft place and escaped
with only serious shaking up. After
she had gotten out the buggy was
overturned and Sam was bragg I'd for
some distance through the mud. He
was not hurt with the exception Of
some bruises, but he scooped up all
the mud in the road. Finally the
horses broke from him and continued
thheir flight.
When at the forks of the road near
Uncle Roberts they took the lower
road and lost the carriage before they
had gone very far on it. The car
rage was almost a total wreck. The
horses ran on until they entered town
and ran down Main street, attracting
considerable attention and thence to
the stable where they were stopped.
They had only the collar and neck
yoke on them. All the other harness
had been torn off. The horses were
not injured. They belonged to Man
lift Hayes. Pickenpaugh and wife
remained at DR.. Hopkins all night
as they were unable to continue to
town. They are all to be congratu-
lated at having escaped so easily from
their danger

CHANDELIERS WARNING.
The New Hampshire Senator De-
nOunces the Gold Standard.

CONCORD, n. H., Jan. 6.-The
Evening Monitor, Senator Chambers
paper, contains the following as q
leader under the caption: "The re-
duction Of wages is caused by the
gold standard-Workf for silver money,
says Senator Chandler"
"a good New Years resolve for
Republicans is to demand and dur
ing 1898 struggle for bimetallism.
Every man who works for wages
should fight against the single gold
standard Of money, which is the most
potent cause of the recent reduction
in wages made in all the factories OF
New England. The characterization
of silver and the consequent appre-
citation Of gold, which measures val
ues, have contributed Ia so reduce the
prices of commodities hatgoods which
would once have brought the pro-
ducer 800 now bring him only $50.
This is worldwide condition, where
gold prices prevail, and because man
ufacturers cannot get the OLD prices
for goods they say they cannot pay
the old prices for labor. But il it
had not been for the demonstration
Of silver the wages of labor every
where In recent years would have
risen, because each laborer has been
able, year by year, to create larger
product, and he has therefore been
entitled to larger wages as his share
of that product. This legitimate
raise in wages the adoption OF
the gold standard has prevented, and
instead il a rise comes fall.
s'Here is the whole case in nut
shell, and it is impregnable. The
unanimous of organized labor
in America and Europe is therefore
against the single gold standard, and
in favor of the restoration of silver
to its old position as standard money.
American labor now has protective
tariff. Let all Republicans fight to
keep the greenbacks in circulation
and to get rid of slavery to the gold
men, who are trying to drive out OF
use the silver money of the wage
carriers of the world.

The ELECTION.
The Result as Predicted by This
Paper Yesterday.

The Town ticket Was Elected without
Opposition-Tne Fight Was on the
Old School Board and 1t was Defeated
With the Exception Of Fitch-Baftle
Hot One-The Officers Elected and
the Platform.
When the votes were counted on
the school board election the result
was as had been predicted by this
paper. The old school board was de
feated with the exception of Fitch
who beat his nearest competitor by
the narrow margin OF 81 votes. He
who came the closest to him. Had
his friends not worked like beavers
for him he would have been defeated
along with the rest. His election is a
proof of his very great popularity
with the voters of the district.
| The vote was quite heavy, consider
ing the beastly state Of the weather.
The fight was very warm one and
every voter was approached as he went
to cast his ballet by the friends OF the
rival candidates. Many of the men
who voted on the school board did not
vote on the town ticket as it was GER
tain of election. A number of votes
which were cast for the various candi-
dates were not counted as the men
received votes on different terms on
the board. In such cases of course
these could not be consolidated and
the highest for any term was the one
which was accredited to him. Bailey
in particular lost heavily on this as
he was voted for for both five years
and one year, but in spite Of this loss
he was elected to the one year term.
The board which has been elected
will not take charge of affairs until
Jnly. We believe it will prove to
be very good board as the men who
compose it are fine men for the posi-
tions. The outside district should
find no cause for complaint as they
have two members of the board and
they can't well ask for more than
| that.
The announcement of the vote was
awaited with a good deal Of interest
and from the first showed how the
fight was going. The first hundred
showed the winners and they finished
in the same order except that Picken-
paugh beat Fitch out after tying with
him on the first hundred. The total
number Of votes cast were 400.
The number Of votes received by
each candidate was as follows, the
first five being elected:
FAIRCHILD, 425, for three years.
BROCK, 324, for five years.
BAILEY, 298, for one year; 10S
for five years.
PICKENPAUGH, $50, for years.
FITCH, 250, for two years.
HODGES, 225, for two years.
LAZZELLE, 1S0, for four years.
WILLIAMS, $50, for one year.
For school levy, 155; against school
levy, 0.

!, food ,'Iacpto stat.

We believe it to be tn, sentiment
of the people that the wore OF paw
ing the streets should he done grad
ually.
The town has not the means to
undertake the work of paving all
the streets at once, nor IS it ncees-
sary.
The plan that is most acceptable
is, that paving should begin On those
streets, or parts of streets, where
property owners first agree TO con
tribute two thirds Of the cost.
Now, under this plan there is al
ready place to begin AMI tic de-
tails are settled and ready for the
action of council ami tIat IS the
part of High street OH Court House
square, from the Peabody Hotel to
Walnut street.-The very place that
paving ought TO begin.
The property owners on this
square have already agreed 10 con-
tribute two thirds of the cost and a
petition is now before the council
awaiting its action 20 pafe that
part of High street. The consent OF
all these property owners was OBJ
tanned sometime ago by Mr.. Duke
Hirschman, and their pati iol in
writing was presented, and is still
before the council awaiting it's ac-
ton The County Court II creed to
pay its proportion for that part of
the street in front of the Court
House and all the other property
owners signed the petition.
There would seem to be 10 reason
therefore, for Council to delav AIRY
ing out the will of the penalc in
making beginning. Whea that
part of the street is paved it will be
an object lesson which vii make
paving contagious, and III re will
be an immediate demand for the ex-
tension Of the Improvement the full
length OF that street

fare of the town-has been sea of

disgrace to the town, and the coun-
eli will not fulfil the pledges upon
which they were elected. thy dc

out the will of the people.

SOUTH MoRsANTOwN ELECTION.
The Voters Bolt the Convention and
Elect Another Man for Mayor-A
Tie In the C0nncil.

South M0rgantown also held a con-
vention and nominated candidates
for town officers, but they also had a
very lively time over the nominations.
The convention was a very warm one
and three ballets were required to
nominate the ticket which was pub
lished in this paper some days ago.
w. l.. Coombs was a candidate for
reelection after having served for
several terms. There was hot fight
made against him but the rest of the
ticket went through without Difficult
ty. Mr.. McGara, the candidate who
came under the wire ahead of him,
was nominee for council and four
Others were voted on to fill the vacan-
cy with the result that there is tie
between Jack Madagan and Jefferson
Smith for the office. Smith says he
won't serve, so that leaves Madagan in
peaceable possession of the office.
The fight on the mayoralty was a
personal one and no issues of town
government were involved. The field
was strongly canvassed and every vote
was cast that was present in the
town. Several Of the voters were
away on the pipe line but every one
in the town voted. The vote on each
man was:

KNOCKED OUT.
Extra Session Of the Legislature Killed
by Impeachment Talk-Was Never
Pnnul0r


While not officially announced it
is very generally understood among
state delegates and senators that
the proposed extra session of the
Legislature to consider constitution
al amendments, is lost and cannot be
held this month, as was anticipated.
The secret ballot of the members of
the house has failed of the necessary
three-ffths vote in the affirmative.
In view of the fact that 1T was at
the extra session that the impeach-
ment of Governor George Wesley
Atkinson, will occur, if at all, the de-
feat of the proposition is significant.
As soon as impeachment became a
much talked of matter all over tue
state the friends Of the administra-
tion began to oppose the extra ses-
sion. 1t is stated that its defeat is
attributed to the influence OF the
administration, but If there Wa or

Hand Car Strikes a Stone.

Yesterday morning when the
section hands under Foreman
Santee were going to their work they
made discovery which probably
a bad passenger wreck.
When passing Russelps siding at the
pump station the car struck some
thing with great force. Their din
ner buckets and tools were sent
flying in every direction and the men
were quite badly shaken up. They
found stone tightly wedged be-
tween the switch and the main rail
and removed it. This was what had
thrown them off. Had the passenger
train struck it there would have been
a wreck and the consequences might
have been very serious. Whether the
stone was placed there. on purpose or
had gotten there by accident Of
course could not be told.
