Other notes.
Every thing is in readiness for the
delivery of brick to the town by the
new brick company. All that is hold
ing them back Is the fact that the
Avenue is almost impossible aud they
cannot haul over it to any advantage.
A very large amount Of brick IL ready
for delivery ana the PAYERS will have
no trouble ON that score after they be-
gin the work Of paving
The company has been hard at work
since they got their plant into run
ming order and they are prepared to
turn out the best brick In the country.
This will be great advantage as
they will keep the money at home and
thus give us all the benefit possible
from the expenditure.
The first street to be paved this
spring will be Peasants from Front
up to Main. The bevelled brick will
be used on this on account OF the
steepness of the grade. These are the
kind that are now ready for delivery
and they will soon line the sides OF
the street.
1t has not yet been decided as to
whom the contract Is to be let but It
is generally believed that the Kittan-
ming people will be given the prefer.
ence. The council has many letters
OF recommendation Of these people
and they are ready to take the job at
the figures they at first made which
are not so far above those made by
Berry.
Some people in Connellsville are
after the job but it is not at all likely
that they will be given what they ask
for as they do not come with the
backing that the kittanning firm
does. Council is determined that M
more mistakes shall be made and that
when the paving begins that it shall
go right on until the money is exhaus-
ted and not be the means Of so much
delay and rag chewing as the smal;
amount done last summer was.
Everyone is anxious TO see the dirt
begin to move and TO know that the
mud will soon be thing OF the past.
They have waited long time for
pavements after agreeing TO them
and they are glad that they do not
have TO wait much longer.

A NOVEL CASE.
Wendell Slender SAYS he Wanted 10
Test a Young Girl's Virtue Before
AdODtiug Her.


HUNTINGTON, w. Va, March Is
Wendell Slender, wealthy German,
who came here four years ago from
near Allegheny, Pa, and purchased
one of the finest stock farms in the
county, is defendant in damage suit
which is proving highly sensational.
The plaintiff, Maggie Bragg, is an
orphan girl, aged fifteen, who alleges
that Slender made an attempt to GRIM
inally assault her while she was living
at his home.
Slender, on the witness stand to day
acknowledged that he made the as
sault, but that his intentions were
good, he simply desiring to test the
young girls virtue. His wife also
made the same statement. saying that
she requested her husband to do so, as
she wanted to adopt the girl if she
proved virtuous.
Stender's wealth is variously esti
mated at from $40, 900 to 500, 900, and
the sensational proceedings of to-day
has put standing room in the big
court house at premium.
Twenty witnesses were brought
from Mingo and Logan counties to
give evidence in behalf of the defend
ant. The best legal talent in this sec
tion has been employed On each side.

Missouri has a law which il
adopted by the States generally,
would destroy every trust in the
land. 1t has declared trusts and
corporations, made to control the
price Of articles, unlawful in that
State, and their trading unlawful.
1t has further declared by statute
that no combination or trust shall
collect any debt or obligation in that
State made for the sale OF the arti-
Gle it controls In recent suit in
Missouri, in which this law was
pleaded in defence, the Court upheld
it, instructing the jury to bring in a
verdict for the defendant if they be-
lieved the plaintiff was trust or
combine formed to control the price
Of the goods sued for, and the jury
so believed.

Redemption other States also Re-
port the Failure Of this Crop.
The good news that there will like
lY be apples this year can now be an
nounced. One thing is certain there
will be an enormous bloom. AS this
must come before there can be many
apples it would seem to show that we
stand some chance OF getting lot of
the fruit.
Experiments have been tried by
many people with apple branches
which were taken into the houses and
placed In water. The warmth and
water has in few days caused them
to unfold and the showing has been
made that there will be one OF the
largest blooms on record.
This will be very good news for
everyone as the apple crop in this sec
ton has been failure for several
years. This fall bids fair to see the
largest crop we have had for years
should the season be at all favorable.
Peaches however are as coy as ever
and the announcement made some
time ago that they were all killed is
being stuck to by those making it.
The bloom is not only killed but many
of the trees have been killed by the ex-
IRENE cold weather. Few If any are
expected to yield anything in. the
county or state this fall.
These reports come not only from
the county and state at large but they
are general. Maryland has reported
that she will have none at all this
year and other peach growing states
also report that the extensive blizzard
hunted out their peaches and killed
them.
The effect of the cold weather on
the other fruit cannot be foretold but
1t is not thought that it has seriously
hurt the trees. They will be kept
back until the season opens in earnest
and will not be seduced by the allure
fnents Of short warm spell which
ends with a freeze. This in case the
winter has been mild one always
fixes the fruit in the spring but in
case the weather has been severe the
buds do not come out until there is
some assurance that summer has real
ly coma

gents meets next mOnth-Other notes
The base ball men are down tt
hard work and it will not be theil
fault If the University does not have
the best team in its history durin
the coming year. They expect to &C
into the season with the material
and if the coach can do them any
good the team will be all that it can
be expected to be.
The manager has already secured
the coach. This is Altman who is
we'll known here. He win get the
team in COED shape and his efforts
will be bent toward getting an or.
ganization together that will be able
to swipe anything of its size on the
turf
Contracts are being signed up
with all the teams with which there
are to be games. w. and j. will be
here for two games on Decoration
Day and these contests will draw
large crowds Other games are also
being signed up and the men will
face the best schedule ever placed be-
fore University team.
Their crying need is for fence
around the athletic ground For
years the teams have been going in
to the hole largely on account of not
being able to hold up the people who
go to games and make them pay for
the privilege. There are lots of peo-
pie and many students are numbered
among this distinguished assembly
who will sneak into game if they
possibly can and avoid paying any
thing to see the contests.
In order to avoid this the associa.
tion asked for money to build fence
and they were given it by the last
legislature. There is now kick on
hand against it by some people
who don't want their view spoiled
by an ugly fence.
The matter came up before com
mittee and the mans ger Of the base
bail team tried to get an order
passed allowing him to build the
fence. The committee left it for the
board of regents who will be here in
April. DR.. Raymond stated that he
was in favor of gym events but that
he wanted to see base ball and foot
ball abolished in the University II
they did not succeed in getting on a
paying basis soon. At the same
time he was not very enthusiastieal-
ly in favor of fence which is GER
tainly one great help towards plac
ing the teams on their feet.
The final disposition of the matter
has been left to the regents with the
proviso that the base ball team is to
have fisty dollars for the two games
that are to be played before the
meeting and that will result in
losses if there is no fence built until
after that time. This is move of
Mr.. Sturgiss who has guaranteed it
himself in case the board will not
pay it.

Theiryenture nota YeryGreatSuccess
They are we'll known here to the sor-
row OF local Sportsmen-An incident
from the Free Press.
The following from the Free Press
will be read with interest by many
Morgantown people. Jake KRONER
is the right name OF the fakir and
not an alias Henry Beeler is cor
rect. Beeler halls from Waynesburg
and KRONER lives in Scottdale They
have been performing tricks of this
stripe in this section for years and
have in many cases been highly sue
cessful. The story of the trial at
Fairmont and the result is as fol-
lows:
A party OF strangers arrived in
Fairmont last Saturday morning for
thepurpose OF doing a victim in the
green goods business, and if that
didn't work foot race was to take
place, but neither of the plans work
ed out to perfection.
The victim was j. S. Bell, who
registered from Waynesburg, Pa,
and his associates in the transaction
were Henry Beeler and L. NJ. Day,
of Pittshurg, Pa. When Mr.. Bell
got here he had but about $25
in cash The green goods could not
be delivered, so his new friends said
tina. it would take S400, and they
would all have to go to Philippi to
get the goods" Bell said friend
would be in that day and let him
have the $500. In the meantime two
other gentlemen arrived and foot
race was to be run, but this was not
arranged. The foot racers were reg
istered as Jake Kroner and b. j.
Coin, from Canada. The green goods
men finally got Bell into a game of
poker. II went alright except for
Bell One of the fellows had four
aces but he had no money. He show
ed his hand to Bell, and borrowed
all Bell had, and into the pot it went
but Bell did not get his money back,
and the game came to very sudden
close.
Bell found himself completely
stripped and he squealed and swore
out warrant. Sergeant Morgan
went in search of his men. One got
out of the way, but one was taken
before the mayor. 1t was found that
it was the other fellow that was
wanted, and Bell said he would 90
get HIM, and, he like the first, never
came back. Bell pledged his over
coat for his hotel bill and money to
get home on to Host Williams.
