The first of the two games away
from home was won by w. V. q. by
a very close margin. The score was
fourteen TO thirteen and 1t took thir-
teen innings to win out. The score
was not received here until very late
when the Pittsburg Post was called
up and gave it to the boys. No de-
tails were received until this morning
when the following special 30 the NEW
DOMINION came in:
W. Y. Z. won the first game by a
score Of fourteen to thirteen playing
thirteen innings to get the prize
The team played very loose ball in the
first and fifth inning making ten errors
and eighteen hits. Pittsburg College
made seven errors and eleven hits.
Battery w. Y. U. Bowman, Shelby
and Deming. Short stops Dent and
Grassland, Altma n cracked out the
only home run Of the game. The
score was tied III the ninth and it was
won out in the thirteenth. Ander-

Whorter's hit. Two men were out
when this hit was made.
The team will play W. and j. to-
day at Washington. They will have
TO play much better ball than they
did on Friday if they expect to get
the game. The Washington team has
already defeated the Pittsburg lads by
good score and they will lose very
hard to w. V. u. on their own
grounds. If the team does win how
ever there will be big thuse here to-
night.
The Normal team came in this
morning to tackle the second team on
the University field this afternoon.
They have good looking team but of
course they can't win the game as
they come from Fairmont. There is
something in the air up there that
keeps an aggregation from playing
ball after they have been there any
length of time.
Considerable interest is being taken
in the contest which will attract a
good crowd if they are not kept away
by rain.

GREAT BIG DEVELOPMENT.
John Sliney Tells what he is Going to
do for Preston County and West Nir-

CHARLEsTowN, w. v, May 10
John Sliney, promoter, is in the
city on a mission of very consider
able interest to the people of certain
sections of the state For reasons
that will be obvious, he declined to
discuss in detail his plans, but re-
vealed enough to afford a very in
telligent idea of the objects he has
in view.
Mr.. Sliney has been for years en-
gagged in working up to marketable
condition the rich undeveloped coal
tracts lying in Preston county. At
ter hard work and perseverance he
has succeeded in getting the Drexel-
Morgan company an extensive Phil
adelphia firm of capitalists and
spectators, to take hold of the land.
Within a short time several mines
at least four-will be opened up.
II have been laboring for years.,
said Mr.. Sliney, with this object
in view, but tor very good reasons,
have succeeded in keeping the mat
from the public | will only say
that this project will bring into the
State of West Virginia millions, and
even billions, of dollars. No cent
of domestic capital is interested in
it. 1t will mean a revolution in the
industrial affairs of this State"

larger and better than they are at

be amply adequate to prevent its

Near Clinton Furnace In this Coun-
ty.
Clinton Furnace is the next place
in this county where an oil we'll will
be put down. That is if the reports
that are being brought in here are
authentic and the men making them
are firm in the conviction that the
work will begin at once.
They state that the tools for the
work are being placed in position
and that the well will begin to go
down soon. The parties who are do
ing the prospecting are from Ohio
and but little can be learned of them
or their ideas on the subject. They
evidently have faith in the territory
or they would not be here drilling
hole in the ground.

Many Londoners have visited the
Italian district, which lies in the neigh
borhood of Theobald's road and Hatton
Garden, and some with inquiring minds
have strolled up Leather lane and
watched the Italian ice cream vendors
and fortune telling women with pretty
love birds, in~termingled with the dirty.
noisy, street hawkers, common to all
London slums. 1t is amazing to learn
how these Italians crowd together in
the poky little houses of the courts and
alleys. Generally a house is hired by an
old padrope, who subjects to as many of
his countrymen as he al respectfully
squeeze in. The cellars are utilized as
sleeping apartments, and in the morn
ing as many as 30, even 80, men will
emerge from the bowels of the earth,
blinking and winking in the daylight
after n night spent in the cellars under
one small dwelling house. A whole
family, consisting of a husband and
wife and eight or nine fanciulli of vari-
Gus ages, often sleep in one small gar
ret or cellar. -Ludgate Magazine.

When Thomas drove up to deliver
the usual quart of white mixture, the
gentleman of the house kindly inquired.
"Thomas, how many quarts of milk do
you deliver daily to your CUSTOMERS"
"Ninety-one, sir"
"And how many cows have you?"
mine, sir"
The gentleman made some remarks
about an early winter and the state of
the roads, and then asked, Thomas,
how much milk per day do your cows
~average:'
"Ssven quarts, sir"
"Ah, UNI - said the gentleman, as
he moved off.
Thomas looked after him, scratched
his head, and all at unce grew pale as
he pulled out "a short pencil and began
to figure on the wagon cover: Nine
COWS is nine, and l set down seven
quarts under the cows and multiply.
That's SO quarts of milk. l told him |
sold 81 quarts per day. SiXty.three
from 81 leaves 80 and none to carry.
Now, where do l get the rest of the
milk? I'll be hanged if l haven't given

The papers are singing the praises
of Miss Tessie Mclaughlin, who resides
with her parents about five miles south
of Granite Canon. All by her lone
someness Miss Mclaughlin killed a
mammoth wildcat, and then bravely
educated her horse to not mind the
wild beast, loaded it on his back and
carried 1t to the ranch. After starting
for the ranch the horse became alarm
ed at his unwelcome burden and broke
into a keen run. He could not be re-
strained by Miss Mclaughlin until the
ranch was reached and was then all of
a tremble. This same young lady
pitched 40 tons of hay last year., is an
accomplished pianist and holds a GER
tifcate for teaching school. Wait till
the snow goes, boys, before leaving for
Granite, and even then you must aban-
don your dudish city ways before you
can hope to create a favorable impress
sion.

IS JERRY AMBITIOUS?

Sockless Simpson has caused him
self to be interviewed upon the Perry
Belmont dinner. He believes Bryan
has made a grave mistake. In discus
singk the matter he says:
william Jennings Bryan's refusal to
accept the invitation of Perry Belmont
to attend the Jefferson day dinner in
New York is a serious mistake on the
part of Bryan; an error which l regret
very much, and N which the silver
leaders will regret also later on. Bryan
did not need refuse the invitation be-
cause he thought some of the silver
democrats would mistrust him for so
doing.
"Tammany u the eastern democ-
racy and controls thousands of votes.
By antagonizing Tammany, Bryan may
lose these votes and as he will need
them later I should think he should
have accepted Mr.. Belmont's invita-
ton. 1t was an error to refuse. They
may put another man against him.
However, l think Bryan is making
a noble fight for reform and will be
chosen as the democratic and populist
candidate for presidency in 1900. But
no more tilts like the Belmont affair
should occur. Bryan is our most logi-
cal mem for the nomination.
by keeping his mouth shut he will
finally secure the goldbug democratic
VOTE, 1 think, and then his election is
esure. This republican business does
not bring voteA In the end the Bel
mont tilt will injure Mr.. Bryan. His
action In the affair vas not that OF a
good politician" .
Some OF the Bryan democratic or
~ganization at all, and that the western
members Of the party are justified in
declining Invitations TO take part in
the New York Demonstration on Jefer-
souis hdrthday. The chief reason why
de Bryanites, however, refuse to par
tictp.te in the Tammany gathering is

Bryan is gradually making his re-
nomination impossible. With Tam
many absolutely opposed to his candi-
dacy and the national democrats
against him it will be next to a miracle
If he receives the nomination, and a
greater miracle if he is elected. Bryan
has lately been spending much of his
time counting the southern wing of the
democracy, which will doubtless lend
him its support. He is so closely allied
to the Chicago platform that nothing
else will do for next year if he should
force his nomination.

den already placed upon the household

personal property should all be re-

is perjury and the penalty of perjury is
a term in the ~penitentiary. An honest,
fair deal is demanded.

that the principal speakers at it will
talk in favor of honest money and ex-
pansion, two things which the Bryan
ftes hate. AS all the eastern democrats
stand with Tammany on the honest
money issue, and as many of them are
with it on national expansion, the alb
sence of the western mel from the
gathering will show that the chasm
between the two sections of the democ-
racy is as broad as it was in 1896.
Without the east the democratic party,
of course, has lot the shadow Of a
