DEMAND FOR COAL
Causes the Opening OF Every Mine In
the Neighb0rhOOd OF Clarksburg.

CLAKsBuRG, W. Va, November L.
The Lynch mines, two miles south
of here, have been leased to the Wat
son Coal d Coke Company, of Fair
mont, who will Immediately open
and operate them. A gang Of men
have already been put to work clear
ing the dumps.
The Ocean mines, two miles east,
have been leased to the Baltimore &
Fairmont Coal and Coke Company,
who have men at work making new
opening and building new tipples.
Ten or twelve years ago these mines
were destroyed by an explosion, and
several miners killed. Because of
the shape of the mines and litigation
that followed, they have been idle
ever since.
The demand for coal in this Sec
ton has resulted in the opening of
every available mine. At Adamston
they will be ready to ship coal by
the first of November. The tipples
and coke ovens have received a
thorough overhauling and look like

MEET TONIGHT.
Committee of Twenty will Meet TO
Wind up the Financial Affairs OF
Chadwick Day.

A call has been issued for meet
ing of the committee of twenty which
had the Chadwick Day celebration
in hand. They are to meet at the
office of Cox and Baker this evening
to wind up the affairs of the com
mittee and dispose of the funds left
from the celebration. About three
hundred dollars were not used and
this sum is what will engage their
attention.
1t has been proposed to start a
band here and the suggestion has
met with favor 1t is altogether
likely that some steps will be taken
to establish an organization of this
kind. There is plenty of material
and the town should have one by all
means. The money will be turned
over to the town and the organiza
ton will be under municipal control
to some extent at least

RURAL DELIVERY.
Annual Report on The Matter Given
Ont-Has Been a Great Success
West Virginia to Receive Attention.

WASHINGTON, Nov. First assist
ant ostmaster general Perry S. Heath
tonight gave out his annual report on
the rural free delivery service. Upto
close of the fiscal year ended June 30
1899 there were established in Pennsyl-
vania IA routes;Ohio 80 and West Vir-
ginia /, each serving respectively H.,
216,34,572 and l, 200 people. Special
Agent A. B. Smith of the Eastern dr.
vision has warm words for the sys-
TEN and it is highly recommended
wherever he goes.
Mr.. Smith says in reference to the
service in West Virginia.: "At the
same time a service with three carriers
was established in connection with
the Wellsburg, w. Va, office. While
the territory covered is quite billy al
most mountainous, the roads are very
fine among the best in the country,
and the people are especially progress
siye and intelligent. There is now
an urgent demand from other portions
of Brooke county for additional SER
vice."
Rural carriers are shortly to be au
thorized to receive and receipt for let
tiers for registration as city carriers do
now. The report recommends the
adoption of some uniform style Of
mail box for the rural free delivery
service, with two compartments, one
for delivery and one, for collection,
with one master key for the carrier to
open the collection compartments of
all the boxes and a key for the deliv-
cry compartments to be furnished to
each patron Of the delivery.
Four additional postal wagon routes
with auxiliary carriers in the travel
ing rural postoffice whose experiment.
al operation in Carroll county, Md,
has attracted general interest are
recommended.

BOY FATALLY SHOT.
Trouble Between President
Bowers and Students at
Buckhannon.
Leads to Terrible Tragedy Especial
Student Policeman Shoots Another
Student who was Helping Burn the
President in Effigy-Injured Boy not
Expected to Live.

President Boyers OF the Conference
Seminary is not very popular at the
school over which he is presiding and
several scraps have taken place be-
tween him and the students who are
under him. The reason for the dis
satisfaction is not known but that it
exists has been known here for some
time.
He is very well and favorably
known in Morgantown being formerly
resident Of this county and his par
ents still live at Randall.
The troubles between the President
and the students caused tragedy on
a night or so ago that will raise a
great row over the state. The Presi-
dent had appointed special police
from the ranks of some of the stu
dents but cautioned them not to use
firearms or to point them at anyone
that they wished to arrest. 1t was
In disregard of this order that the
accident occurred.
A student was shot in the head and
will probably die. The following
special from Buckhannon will tell of
the occurrence:
Martin Williams, student at the
Conference seminary here, was seri-
ously shot last night about | o'clock.
Williams. in company with other stu
dents, was burning the president in
effigy. The seminary special police
saw the burning figure and fastened
to the scene. The boys ran and to
stop them several shots were fired at
the fleeing crowd. One Of these
struck Williams and he fell and must
have lain unconscious for an hour or
more. The police did not find him,
and he made his way to his room later
and fell unconscious to the floor.
Physicians were summoned and found
that the ball had entered the head be-
low the left eye, entering the brain.
Williams is in dangerous condition.
Physicians hope TO find the ball with
X-rays and entertain hope OF his re.
coyery. The seminary authorities
deplore the accident and are lending
every assistance. No arrests have
been made.

Those who provided for the feeding
of their stock during the cold snap are
all right and are to be congratulated and
commended, not only for the foresight
but for their humanity as well. But
