Fell From a Window.

Pt. Pleasant. W. Va, July 26.--Capt-
Jim Davis. who for fourteen years has
been captain Of the towboat Annie l..
jumped or fell from second story
window Of the building occupied by
Joe varian, last night at midnight
w. r. yarian, who occupied the room
adjoining the one occupied by Capt
DAVIS, says the first he heard was the
crash of failing glass, which also
awoke the other occupants of the build
ing.
Joe Varian was the first one to reach
the injured man. He found him with
blood squirting from his ears and nose.
His skull was fractured; his right
shoulder broken and several ribs were
broken loose His right leg was also
broken at the ankle. He lived for
about forty minutes, but never regain
ed consciousness. He had fallen head
frst, his feet catching in some wires
at the window, which caused him to
break the. glass.
1t is thought he had gotten up in his
sleep to get a drink of water. as he
had a bucket of ice water in his room,
and had a glass in his hand when he
jumped.
Capt. Davis was about AZ years of
age and had lived here for about IA
years. He leaves three daughters and
one son.
The funeral Wlll be under the aus
plces of the X. of p, and interment in
Lone Oak cemetery. The time for the
funeral has not been set.

SENSATIONAL
Discovery Of Plan to Beat the
Standard 0il-Company

Their is story which comes from
waverly that exposes a most unique
plan to beat the great oil corporation
which exposes a sensational discovery
OF the mosa rascally sort and the per.
petrator is likely to get in trouble
AS the case is not proven so far, to use
the name of the perpetrator would be
a direct charge against him, and thai
is the province OF the Standard comp
any and not the State Journal, but the
plan as worked is interesting. and II
was after this fashion, according tc
those who were on the ground and ia
miliar with the occurrence, 1t seems
that the scheme was worked by a well
known West Virginlan, who Is an
owner n a producing we'll It is be-
lleved by the pipe line guagers that
they have been getting the worst of II
for months, hut that cannot, of course,
be proven. The plan, as worked by
the young man who was not satisfied
with the production OF his wells, was
as follows:
As is usual in the oil fields, two
tanks, erected side by side, were pro-
vided to receive the oil pumped from
the well. The tanks were on the same
level and both were connected at the
bottom with the line leading to the
Pipe Line Co.'S receiving main. This
arrangement, it will be readily seen.
made connection between the two
tanks.
When one of the tanks became filled
with oil, the other being practically
empty the slick yonng man sent for
the guager. The latter official meas
ured the oil and gave proper credit. af-
ter which he unlocked the outlet from
the tank to allow the oil to flow into
the main, process requiring some
time When the guager had left the
tanks the young man, whose ingenious
head had supplied him with a key to
the Standard locks, proceeded to un-
lock the outlet from the empty tank,
with the sure resule that so long as the
head was on in he tank containing the
oil certain portion of the fluid was
forced upward into the empty tank,
which was then relocked and the oil
from the well turned in
The process would be repeated when
the second tank was filled. Meanwhile
the guager was coming out short in
his runs. Suspicion was finally at
tracted to the well, which was produc-
ing more oil than 1t appeared to- be
good for. On Monday, when the
guager went to make his run, he quiet
ly measured the empty tank, finding
nine inch, of oil in the bottom. He
then gnaged the tank which was full
and made the run in the usual manner.
When this tank was emptied he at
once measured the other, with the as
tonding result that the nine inches OF
oil had miraculously swelled to con-
slderably over three feet.
The discovery let the cat out of the
bag and accounted for the shortage.
The well was at once cut off from the
lines and criminal prosecution may
follow,-Journal.

THE NEW BRIDGE.
Plans and Specifications Adopted BY
Council,

The Council met in adjourned ses-
sion last evening to consider the adop-
tion of the plans and specifications
for the new Putnam street bridge.
Vice President Lambert called the
meeting to order. Members present
were Curtis, Gossett, Loffland, Lorentz,
Lambert, Marsch, Storck and Strain.
The specifications for the Putnam
street bridge were read by the Clerk
The reading and discussion lasted
about two hours and half Several
minor points in the specifications were
changed and they were adopted. Fiji
ty copies were ordered printed for dis
tribution and the Clerk was instruct
ed to advertise for bids.
The committee, appointed Tuesday
evening to investigate the matter OF
the Webster Oil Co.'S proposed refln-
cry on Virginia street, reported that
they considered 1t a matter with which
the Council had nothing to do, and
recommended that Council take no
action in the matter. The report was
accepted and the committee discharg-
ed.
Marsch said ne thought Council
should act in regard to the sale OF the
bridge and sewer bonds which was af-
fected by the Mayor and Clerk last
week
The Solicitor stated that under the
statutes the Mayor and Clerk had au-
thorfty to sell the bonds under the cir
eumstances.
The Clerk then read formal COM
munication from the Mayor and Clerk
in reference to the sale.
A telegram was read from Wood,
Blume and Evelelgh, now at Atlantic
City, ordering Council not to confirm
sale OF bonds. The telegram brought
smiles to the faces OF some members
present.
On motion the sale of the bonds to
the German National Bank, OF Cincin-
natl, was unanimously confirmed
Building permits we're granted to Al
Shiers, Franklin street; j. NJ. Miller,
Lancaster street, Webster Oil Co,
Virginia street; Mrs. Maggie Pitts,

real bona-fde city clock. The laaics
of the Improvement Association not
long ago made kick las the boys say)
when the college clock stopped at he
close of the college year. Certainly,
why should that clock run in vacation.
The college world disappeared prompt
| ly soon after the bell sounded the last
call to prayers. That clock was
placed to give the college world the
time OF day, not to furnish the city OF
Marietta the time. II would not be
fair or right to expect the college peo-
pie TO run their clock for our benefit
in vacation, when they were all absent
from the sacred precincts of the col
lege campus. Then that old clock has
served its day and generation. 1t was
abandoned for years and never turned
wheel, because 1t was deemed of no
account and the cost OF repairs too
much to justify the attempt to rehabil-
itate the old relic Some five or six
years ago, however, student was here
who had genuine enthusiasm for re-
storing things to their normal condi-
tion. At all events he took hold of the
ciock and got 1t 10 running and 1t has
been dispensing the time of day ever
since The principal value of the
college clock is that 1t strikes
the hours.
ALI this, however, is neither here nor
there in this discussion. Marietta
ought to have clock OF her own, or at
least have one that is not owned by a
private corporation. The opportunity
is approaching which will enable her
to have a modern clock made up !
date with all. the late improvements.
We refer to the proposed erection of
the new court house, which will nee
essarily have to be provided with
tower to accommodate the court house
bell Such a tower, which will be
built of either stone or brick, will af-
ford the solid and steady support that
a fine clock should have. No town
clock should ever be placed in wood
en- tower unless built very substantial
and strong and costing much more
than the ordinary wooden structure of
that kind. Besides that, such tow
eT should be very high, so that the
dials can be seen from all parts of the
city. Then the tower must be of such
diameter that IL will AFFORD plenty of
space for the large dials, which will
have 10 be very large in order that
the hands on the faces can be seen at
some distance These dials should be
Of glass or some transparent material,
so that by placing an electric light in
side the time can be. seen at night as
well as by day.
This will be probably be Marietta's
hast chance to get the use of tower of
sufficient height and stability for
city clock For it will be long time
before another public building will be
erected In this city that will nave a
tower of the kind required for this
purpose.
We hope the ladies of the Improve
men Association will move in the
matter and now while the plans are
being talked over, that this important
feature OF same shall not be over
looked.
