Washington, Jan. Is. The war in.
! vestgating commission yesterday took
prompt action on the sensational tes-
and sent the statement incorporating
! his testimony back to him with the
privilege Of resubmitting it If he chose
to revise its language Further than
this the commission determined 1t
/ could not and should not proceed. The
commission regrets that Gen. Eagan
proceeded as far as he did, and il is
explained that the vituperatiye nature
of the testimony was a complete sur
prise to the commission, and that but
for the rapidity with which Gen.
Pagan read his long statement and the
absorbing vehemence Of its delivery
he would have been checked at the
time.
There was no abatement i'm the in
terest exhibited here in all the Incl
dents connected with Gen. Eagans
bitter attack. As might have been ex-
pected a matter Of this official conse-
quence was sure to attract the atten-
ton Of the president. and i'm conse-
quence the greater part of the session
Of the cabinet was given up to its con-
sidoation. The principals in the con-
troversy. Generals Miles and Eagan.
contributed little during the day to
the controversy. The letter Of the
commission returning Gen. Eagan's
statement did not indicate positively
whether or not they will receive it as
evidence, even though the
Objectionable Language
was eXciSed. nor did Gen. Eagan him.
self give any sign of any intention on
his part TO avail himself OF the offer
made by the board. His friends did
not hesitate to intimate that he would
eXpunge the Objectionable language
but he would say nothing for himself
and any intimation on that score must
be obtained from the board itself. The
war department officials are not yet
clear as to what would be the effect
of withdrawal or modification of the
statement. One element holds that.
officially. the record failing to show
any Objectionable language be-
ing used there was no legal offense.
Another takes the view that while the
amendment Of the statement would
mitigate Gen. Eagan's offense it would
not wipe II out. Another aspect Of the
case is the bringing forward OF the
plea Of exemption which was guaran-
teed in the name OF the president to
all witnesses before the board from
what they might say, but again the
officials are divided. and this was also
true Of the members of the cabinet as
to whether the exemption could be
claimed in this particular case
Meanwhile Gen. Miles is apparently
waiting for the war dona IF meDt IN not
taking the position that it is incum-
bent upor it and the war commission

Died.

WATsoN-W. Sherman Watson
died at his home in Farmont on Sum
day May 7.h 1899 aged 35 years.
Though he had been in very delicate
health for some time his death came
Unexpectedly from heart failure. He
was son Of James S. Watson, Of
Ellington and was native of this
county. A number Of years ago he
was clerk in Posten's store for d
long time and was widely known and
universally esteemed. For several
years past he had resided in Fairmont
and travelled for Wheeling whole
sale house, this being one of the
places he visited regularly. About a
year ago he suffered from an attack
of typhoid fever that left him in very
bad physical condition. For several
months he had been able to go about
but was far from well man. A
few days ago he seemed worse and
yesterday passed away. He leaves a
widow and three children. The re-
mains will be brought to Little Falls

in peace.

SOME GUN PLAY.
Two People Nearly Killed by Fool
With Gun Fellow Skips Before he
Can be Arrested.

Sam Thompson OF the West Side
was in town on Saturday evening and
he had his hide full of red LIQUOR.
He was feeling so fine that he thought
it would be good idea to show off a
little. So he pulled out a great big
gun and began TO flourish it around.
He was in Simpkins' store when he
began to do this. Finally the gun
was discharged in some manner and
a couple Of people narrowly escaped
being shot Miss Jessie Wilson was
missed by very small margin as was
a small child Of Posten's.
Sam heard that there would be
some arrests made ia case he did not
slide out of town pretty previously
and he made tracks for the red brush
on the other side of the free bridge.
He will be pulled in the next time he
comes to town and given chance to
pay the amount he will then owe the
government.

In SESSION.
County Court is Passing on The Petit
lions For Submission Of The Bond
Question to This District.

4 A special term Of the county court
is now being held at the Court House.
All the members are present and they
are considering the matter of sub
hitting the railroad bond proposition.
They have petition before them
bearing over eight hundred names out
OF the eleven hundred voters Of the
district. They promised at their
former session that they would sub
nit 1t if three fifths of the voters sub
mitted a petition to that end.
There has some opposition developed
and this has secured the services of
Cox & Baker to represent them before
the court Mr. Baker made speech
in opposition to the plan beginning at
two this afternoon.
The matter may not be finally dis
posed of until tomorrow but the
court seems disposed to stand to the
promise made at the former session.

HE'S ALL RIGHT.
Charles Stewart OF Moundsyille will be
at home before very long.

The publication of the fact that
Charles Stewart OF Moundsyille was
missing and that his father was very
much alarmed over him has brought
out the information that he is still In
Baltimore. Clyde Stewart Of this
place was student in the same dem
tai school as the Moundsyille man
aud saw him a short time ago.
Charles then stated that he had a
lot Of work to do and that he would
not come homes for some time yet.
lie had been working up some practice
during vacation In Baltimore and had
- finish this up. He will be at home
all right before very long and the anx-
lety of his people has not very good
grounds to be great.

MINERS HOSPITAL.
The Board Of Directors of Miners Hos
pital No. B Meet and Effect An Or
ganizatiOu.

The Board of Directors of the Mi
ners' Hospital No. met in this
place on Wednesday afternoon and
effected an organization by electing
the Hon. John ". Mason, president,
and Capt. E. A. Billingslea, secre-
tary. There was a full attendance
of the board. The members from
out of town are DR.. L. S. Brock, of
Morgantown, and Mr. Matthew
Mannix, of Clarksbnrg.
The board passed resolution re-
questing the submission of proposals
for sites for location Of the hospital.
The proposals are to be submitted
in writing and can be handed to
either Mr.. Mason or Capt Billing
slea. The state requires the dona.
ton of at least one acre of ground
to secure the institution and the To-
cality offering the best inducements
will be likely to secure the plum,
says the Fairmont West Virginian.
AS we have before stated, the hos
pital is to be placed in this county.
Fairmont, being the center of the
mining industry, is the place for it,
but to get it shere our people will
have to rise to the occasion and offer
the proper inducements. If not, it
is likely to go elsewhere. We I'm
derstand that Monongah is making
a strong fight to have it located
there
It is the determination of the di-
reetors not to accept any back alley
or locate the hospital in an improper
place. They will not locate it at all
unless proper place is secured

BASE BALL GAME.
Varsity Reserves down Seneca
in a hard Contest.

Everybody VAS Winner Until the Ind
Came Bowman Required to Put
Seneca to Sleep-Strikes out q Num-
Der OF Men-first Team is In Good
Shape aud will Play W. and j. this
Victory Anticipated ut Wash
ingt0n.
The base ball game on Saturday be-
tween the Second team and Seneca
was one OF the warmest arguments
that has ever taken place on the
home grounds. 1t was any body's
game until after the last man was
out in the last inning, The score
was seven TO five In favor Of the Re-
serves. Bowman had pitched and
this helped them to win in no snail
degree. He struck out seventeen
men. In one inning he retired the
side with eleven pitched balls.
Seneca was strengthened by having
Tom Pastorius at short stop and he
played very fine game for them.
Some OF his catches were of the hair
raising variety and brought down the
bleachers. a good crowd saw the
contest.
The first team had come In In. the
morning and had intended to take the
place Of the Reservoirs In the game
but there was so much objection to
this that they postponed the game
until later. They will play Seneca
about Saturday week,
The members of the first team feel
very well over the showing they made
in the east and are confident that
they can whip any thing they ran
across while they were away. Luck
OF the worst kind followed them and
they lost games they should have won.
Seneca will have strong team this
season and after they have had some
more practice will do well. They
have game here with Fairmont In
a week or SO and another scheduled at
that place with the same team.
They are also to meet the first team
Of the University. These are all the
games that they have for sure but
they are going after some more good
clubs.
The first team OF the Varsity will
leave on Thursday for Pittsburg where
they will play p G. on Friday and
then over to Washington to meet w.
and J. The Dispatch says Of this
game that 1t will show what the lat
ter can do as West Virginia has shown
itself to be very strong on the eastern
trip. There Is no doubt in the minds
OF the team and town people gener-
ally that we can whip w. & j.
Whether or not the trick can be done
over there where no team can get
fair deal Is another matter But we
can play better ball than they can.
AT any rate the contest will be an in
teresting one.

WANTS A PARDON.
Fighting Tom Cooper wants to
get Out of the Pen.

He is not Such bad Man as He is
Painted-treat man Chase Which
Ended near Here-Fake Detectives
Land their Man by the Aid OF Local
Police Cooper is we'll Known here
and Owns Some Property in the
Mountain.
Application will be made to the
Board of Pardons for the release of
Tom Cooper from the penitentiary
says the Pittsburg dispatch. No
tice was served upon District Attor-
ney John T. Haymaker yesterday.
The paper was originally signed by
j. II. McCreery as attorney, but as
Mr.. Haymaker refused to recognize
him as an attorney his name was
erased Cooper is the Baldwin town
ship man who was sent to the peni-
Tertiary for three years on several
charges of felonious assault and
arson. One night when on spree
he burned down his own house and
set fire to those of some of the neigh
bors, besides shooting at several
persons who came across his path.
Cooper, who became known as the
Terror of Baldwin, kept in hiding
several days, and after chase for
several weeks he was arrested in
West Virginia.
The petition first sets forth that
Cooper is not knowingly guilty OF
any crime and at the time the acts
were committed he was addicted to
the use If drink, and If the offenses
were committed by him it was when
he was irresponsible by reason OF
the influence Of liquor, and that
since his comm; otment he has re
solved not to again use Intoxicating
| liquors.
Cooper's good army record during
the War Of the Rebellion is stated
and attention called t. the fact that
he had always been law abiding,
property accommodating citizen prior
to the crazy acts which resulted in
his conviction. The fact that he is
70 years of age is also cited as an
argument for his release
This is the celebrated Fighting
Tom" Cooper who led the "detec-
tiyes' such merry chase through
the woods to the mountain, near
here. They arrested him with the
aid of local officers without the
slightest trouble. He would have
given up at any time that the off.
GERS had gotten to him and demand
ed his surrender. There never was
a greater fraud as far as a bad man
goes than this same Fighting Tom.
The detectives that were here were
about as rank frauds as ever hit the
turn pike and they were the laughing
stock of the whole country They
showed up well in Pittsburg news
papers however and to the unsophisti-
Gated residents of that place they were
hailed as heroes since they had gone
into the wilderness and captured a
desperate.
Cooper would not hurt anyone If he
was sober and he did not hurt anyone
very much when he was drunk All
the hullabaloo was uncalled for and
| he will likely be turned loose. He
has good deal Of personal property
in the mountains near here and will
likely come back TO get it when re-
leased. He is well known here.
