Considerable Business is Trans
acted by the Educational
Fathers.

Number of Orders are allowed The
Beechnrst lot is not yet Selected but
1t will be Soon--The Building will be
Started Right away and will be ready
for Use before this Year is over.
Jason Clark's Room will be used in
the Neutrality-suspicious. of the
Teachers to Rooms not Completed.
Primary Children go into the Pick
enpaugh Building ON Walnut street.
Other Notes.
The school board held busy SEES
sion on Tuesday night and trans
acted considerable business. Among
other things they allowed several
orders chief among which was one
to Schallenberger and Former, of
Pittsburg, for five thousand dollars
which is the third which has been
allowed to the firm since they start
ed work on the building. Another
was to the town of Morgantown for
two hsndred and forty dollars being
the cost of the renting of the munic-
ipal hall for school purposes since
the burning Of the old academy.
The matter Of school building
on Beechurst was again taken up
and it was developed that there was
number Of lots down there which
could be obtained and which were
all right for the purpose needed. 1t
could not be decided which one of
these was the best and the decision
went over until the next meeting.
The intention is to begin the
building some time soon and have it
done and ready for use before the
present school year is over. In the
meantime the children will be ac-
commodated in the same room as
last year it having again been rented
from Jason Clark. There have been
a number Of changes made in the
building to get more light and make
it more comfortable for the children.
For the time being it will be all
right but the board wants to get
out of it as soon as it can be done.
The rooms that are to be used in
addition to those already rented are
to be looked after by Mr.. Bailey who
was empowered to rent them. He
will take the Municipal Hall and
two rooms in the Odd Fellows build
ing. The assignment of teachers
and divisions to the various rooms
has not been finally decided upon by
City Superintendent Brand but it
will be done in day or so when it
will be published in this paper
The primary division consisting
of two rooms will have quarters in
the building rented of Pickenpaugh
on Walnut street, and the seats
have been moved into the place al
ready. The rooms in the F. & M.
bank building have been cleaned up
and ready for the reception of the
children Five rooms are to be used
here which is two more than the
board had in this place last year.
Everything will be in readiness
for the opening of school on next
Monday and the board will see to it
that nothing is lacking that they
can arrange for to make everything
start off all right.

No Early Closing.

The merchants of the town were
asked by the clerks to agree to close
their places Of business for the win
ter at s o'clock. They had been
closing during the summer at an
hour earlier. All the merchants
agreed to this except Cohens on
Main street, and the movement has
for the time being fallen through.
Every consideration urges that it
be agreed upon and the clerks given
a little much needed rest. The boys
themselves are very angry over the
turn things have taken and are to
be excused for their show of wrath.

The Lookout For The Escaped Pris-
oners--Big Rewards viii be Offered
For The Arrest or any or all OF The
Gang.
Fairmont had first class jail de-
livery Tuesday night shortly after
midnight Five of the felons con
fined in the structure escaped and
one who was confined in the same
cell with them refused to take the
proffered liberty.
The men were on cell in the sec
ond floor and were over an unocccn-
pied cell on the first floor. Their
plan was very good one and was
carried out with great success. Only
one hitch occurred and this did not
seriously interfere with their escapev
They began with legof a broken
chair which had been in the cell
with them. The iron sheeting on
the floor was pried up and a knife
was then used to cut through one
plank.
After this was out of the way sew
erai other planks were pried with
the pieces of the chair and entrance
effected into the lower cell All the
men went down except one negro
murderer from Monangah He re-
fused to go with them saying that
he preferred to stay and face the
music.
The lower cell was unlocked and
the men walked out on the porch
This was boarded up and the crowd
went up stairs onto the upper porch
from where they escaped into the
+ jail yard
While they were coming up the
steps they made noise enough to
awake the jailer James Kelly who
raised window and saw them es-
Gaping. He called 30 them to halt
but they began to run.
He opened fire on the crowd with
his revolver and emptied it into
them as fast as he could shoot One
of the men was hit and he was
helped off by the rest who had to go
rather slowly in consequence of the
hurt which he had received. The
wounded man was big Slav by the
name of Hines Kolby.
After getting off the porch the
men ran through an alley and all
trace of them was lost.
The town was searched diligently
but they were not located. Two of
them George Snider and James May
are from Pennsylvania and they are
thought to be heading this way.
The officers here were notified at
once of the escape and they have
been on the lookout all day but have
seen nothing of the men.
| The names of the prisoners who
escaped are Charles Holball, Waiver
ly Harrar and Hines Kolby with the
two mentioned above. All are
charged with felony.

IN CONFERENCE.


with the Committee OF Street Paving
for an Investigation of the way
Things are Going.
This afternoon at one thirty the
members of the street and alley Ncom-
mitteeis meeting and the city engineer
John Samsel together with the paw
ing contractor J. w. Berry are before
them. The committee is composed of
councilmen Shisler, Moreland, and
Hennen. They are meeting in the

The engineer has laid in his state
ment as to the inefficient manner in
which the paving has been done and
the way the prospects for the future
appear to him.
The contractor will be heard and
the committee will then decide on the
course of action which they will take.
The sentiment over town is that
things have not been going as they
should and the statement OF the engi-
neer shows this to be true. What
the outcome of the conference this
afternoon will be of course cannot be
told now but it will be given In this
paper tomorrow.

That was an event in the history
of Morgantown as well as in the his
tory Of this paper. There is no mile
post in the progress of a town more
prominent and suggestive than that
which marks its first daily newspa-
per- The fact is not less suggestive
that Morgantown has, at so early a
stage of its growth, and with so
small a population, already gained
the distinction of sustaining a daily
Newspaper for three hundred and
ixty-fve days. Other neighboring
wns, with more population and
ketentions have tried it and failed.

BEHIND THE BARS.
Assaulted Two Men Whom
He Claimed Were Strikers.

The latest development of a sensa-
tional nature in connection with the re-
cent troubles at Peros foundry, took
place about II o'clock last night, when
a stabbing affair was pulled off in the
alley that leads to the foundry.
Peter S. Marontian. an Armenian, 80
years old night Waterman at the foun-
dry, did the stabbing and is now locked
up at the Waldo street station house,
charged with assault with weapon.
John j. Donohue of Ingalls, street and
Cornelius J. McGillicuddy of 1874 Mill
bury street appear as complainants and
claim that the Waterman assaulted
them without the slightest provocation.
Their story is that they We're passing
through Harris court, which runs from
Jackson to Hermon street, and when
passing the foundry building Maroon
tan attacked them. McGillicuddy was
stabbed twice in the front of his left
thigh, while Donohue escaped without
a scratch.
While McGillicuddy was struggling
with the Waterman, his companion ran
out to the corner and found Officer
Whiting, who accompanied him to the
Datueneld ana arrested MarOntian.
Both men accompanied the officer to
the station house, and made a COM
plant against the Waterman.
Marontian admits the stabbing, but
says the men came to the foundry to
make trouble for him, and when they
attacked him he acted in self-defense.
He thinks the two men, who are mould
ers. are numbered among the worl1men
whose trouble with Mr.. Pero has been
so thoroughly aired of late.
The Waterman at the W. c. Young
Company factory was attracted by
cries of police and hurried out of the
factory in time to witness a part of the
affray He is of the opinion that Nc
Gillicuddy and Donohue were to blame.
Whether the men are ex-workmen or
sympathizers with the moulders re-
Gently discharged from the Pero foun-
dry or not is not known. McGiIlicuddy
is a moulder and the Waterman says
he thinks the men came to the foundry
with the intention of making trouble

Miss FinIey's Friends Present Her With
Gold Watch and Chain.
An eminently delightful Hallowe' en-
party, which possessed an additionalpa-
triotie charm in the presence of a few
gallant volunteers, was held yesterday
evening at the home of Miss Lydia
Finley at 1853 Canterbury street.
The affair was in keeping with the
general military spirit of the day, and
was i'll the nature of a surprise upon
the young lady in question. The guests
began to arrive early in the evening,
much to the amaZement of the hostess,
but as the situation dawned upon her
she accepted her part gracefully, and
entertained the guests in a very hap
py and successful manner. Her friends
presented her with a beautiful gold
watch and chain as tokens of the es-
TEEN in which she is held, and she re-
responded in a few feeling words. thank
ing all cordially for their kind and
thoughtful attention.
Nearly a hundred young friends were
present, and an informal but highly en-
tertaining literary and musical pro-
gram was given.
Among the talent who assisted were
Miss Bessie Gledyll, Frank Dickinson,
Miss Alice Quinn and Miss Finley her
self, who consented to appear in a reci-
tation. Refreshments were served dur
ing the evening, and the Halowe' en-
customs of old were followed with a
tender interest

Ux5RlDGE DEMOCRATS.
George Fred Williams the Speaker at the
Rally Last Night.

Uxbridge, oct. 31.-About $50 people,
at least one-third of whom were re-
publicans, were in attendance at the
democratic rally at the town hall this
evening, when Arthur j.. Seagrave
called the meeting to order.
Promptly at Z AS o'clock the speakers
came upon the platform. Among them
were James Daley, Samuel B. Taft,
| ESD, Francis p. Brady. Esq, demo-
cratic candidate for register of probate
and insolvency; Callahan McCarty,
Thomas Gonnan and James Kurnan of
| Whitinsville and many others. Hon.
George Fred Williams of Dedham was
/ the principal speaker of the evening.
After a few remarks, Chairman Sea-
grave presented MIR. Williams of Ded-
ham as the first speaker. In opening,
| Mr.. Williams stated that in this cam
paign there We're four great issues to
| be considered. First, the acquisition
of foreign territory; second. the con-
duct of the administration in the re-
cent war; third the industrial condi-
ton of the country, and fourth, the
present monetary system.
The present policy of the republican
administration, said Mr.. Williams, is
to annex the entire group of the Philip
pines. Those include hundreds of ISL
ands 10, 000, 600 of yellow men and wom-
en- who are uneducated and uncivilized.
The acquisition of these natives will
cause rebellion and warfare, bloodshed
and financial loss. The privilege of
American citizenship will be extended
to these natives and our country will
be flooded with millions of yellow la
borers.
The policy of the administration
should be condemned, with the election
of a democratic house of representa-
tives.
Mr.. Williams thSn considered the
conduct of the administration during
the recent war. He described the aw-
full condition in Cuba and praised the
action of a. resolute democratic minori-
ty in bringing the questions before theI
country. Finally, the temper of the
country would stand the Cuban atrocl-
ties no longer and the republican ma
jority and, the democratic minority
forced the president into war. Recent
ly a republican orator stated that the
country couldn't endorse Longism
without endorsing Algerism. This was
not true. The credit was due to mol
party for the victory Republicans and
democrats stood shoulder to shoulder
The democratic party demanded full
and fair investigation of the conduct of
the war department, and not a con-
demnation Of Secretary Alger before
that verdict is known.
Mr.. Williams reviewed the business
condition of the country and the de-
preston caused by the gold standard.
He spoke of his conversion to the silver
standard after he had advocated the
gold standard In 1896 the republican
orators promised the people that if a
republican president and congress were
elected, business would boom. The cleo
ton of a republican house would mean
the approval of the republican admins
tration and its policies. He urged all
to stand by the democratic party.
Daniel Gallagher of Newton was the
other speaker of the evening and
amused the audience with several
stories.
