Deputy Marshall ID. r. jackson, and
sam v Mathews, special agent for
the United States treasury, brought to
town and locked up 10 Jail two indi-
yiduals from Mouongalia county,
charged with passing counterfeit coin
says the Fairmont Free Press.
Elihu Brewer is the older, being SIS
years Of age, and his son-in-law James
Foley, who is aged SO years. They
reside in the mountains and in the
neighborhood OF Pouetown and Jakes
run. Mr. Brewer, is small man of
statue, and will weigh about 1875
pounds. His clothing was very poor
and dirty, and his son-in-law was no
improvement, except younger.
AT the hearing before United States
Commissioner Fred T. Martin, the
evidence showed that on the 18th OF
July, the prisoners had come to Fair
view and the first place they went
was to the store of J. Y. Hamilton,
and bought some items amounting to
Is cents, which purchase was made
from the clerk, NJ l.. Amos and who
noticed that the money was spurious.
Mr.. Amos notified Mr.. Z. S. Eddy OF
the circumstance, and Eddy followed
to see where all they passed the coin.
The next visit was to the store of w.
Hunter Atha where ten cent pur-
chase was made from Walter Atha.
who also noticed the bad coin. An.
other was spent at the barroom OF
John Burns, and was passed on hi.
son, Charles, for tobacco. The nickles
were all marked by those who received
them at the time. Justice of the
Peace Shriver, of Monongalia county
was also witness who had received
three OF the spurious nickles on the
18th Of July, in payment for writing
The nickles seem to come all the time
from Mr.. Brewer.
The witnesses mentioned we're all
present at the trial and gave theil
statement Of the transaction with the
prisoners. The prisoners did moi
deny that they had passed the
money, but ciaimed that il was don,
in good faith, believing that lie mon
ey was good. The nickles were of tn,
1889 stamp, and were the poorest kline
of manufacture. A blind man would

Prof. 5. b. Brown who is one of the
party of scientists from the East tray
'elling through the West as the guest
OF the Union Pacific is having a great
time. The following extracts are Ia
ken from a private letter written a
few days ago:
ROCK CREEK CAMP,
July "a, p. ni.
The principal resources OF this
country are wind and sand. Mosqui-
toes swarm everywhere and are great
pest. Water is Of high premium.
One OF the natives says OF his country.
that all it needs to make il a good
region are water and good society.
The first night we camped out il
was over a mile to the nearest water
and the wind from the mountains
just howled. The first day we travel

over their bones and it takes about
years before the bones become yisi-

they are struck. Animals Just dry
up here, they do not rot. Yesterday
was Sunday and we took long drive
out over the very trail the Mormons
followed 81 years ago when they NOV
ed from Illinois to Utah. We camp
ed last night at place where they
crossed Cooper's creek on the historic
trip. We went up mountain valley
some distance and number of the
men went on up the mountain to the
snow and had pictures of the snow

AUGUST FIFTEENTH.
The Pardon Board Meets at that Time
Instead Of on the Fifth.

1t has been announced In many of
the newspapers that the newly Great
ed pardon board will meet on the fifth
of next month but we are requested
to announce that it will convene on
the fifteenth instead of the date at
first given out enormously.
Ten days notice must be given the
prosecuting attorneys of an intention
to apply for a pardon Ut the applica-
ton will not even be taken up by the
board. The application on behalf of
Paul Clifford was turned down at the
former meeting on this score. 1t is
not known whether the same applica-
cation will be sent In again or not.

munt-indastria Notes from the Ohio
Valley Manufacturer.
The following notes in reference to
things OF interest to the people of this
section are taken from the current is
sue of the Ohio Valley Manufacturer
published at Wheeling which keeps a
vigilant eye on the development OF
the state:
Having gotten the title of the Tun-
Melton. Kingwood & Fairchance rail-
ginia Northern, Hon. George c. Stur-
giss, of Morgantown, is reported to
have in contemplation the building OF
branch from Athens TO kingwood.
For two days last. week more than
500 cars of coal blocked traffic on the
B. & o. railroad at Fairmont. The
hard worked freight crews did their
best TO relieve the congestion, but as
fast as they made up trains and sent
them on their way more coal-lad en-
cars were rolled into the gaps.
John Sliney has opened an Office in
Kingwood, from which he will direct
the developments that are to take
place in the Reno district, in the near
| future. He expects. with the assis-
lance of some Pennsylvania capital
lists, to build railroad across Reno
and open up the coal OF that section
Work on the Morgantown & King
wood railroad is being pushed as rap
idly as possible. There are three
gangs OF workmen on the route now
grading and clearing away obstruc-
lions on the old Black Bottle road.
One Of the main causes OF delay is the
scarcity of hands. The company is in
need of hundreds of hands and only a
very small number can be gotten. A
station at Kingwood is TO be erected
at once
Poor human nature! The greed
and rapacity of it is well illustrated
by the demands of property owners
along the line OF the Morgantown &
KiBgwood railroad, who sold right
of way some time ago for nomina
price in order TO get the road. Now
that it is assured, they want an in
creased price. Nothing serious will
result, but it causes yexation and i'm
patience, not to say disgust, in the
minds of the projectors.
In response to the wishes of the
stockholders of the Tunnelton, King
wood & Fairchance Railroad Company
the Secretary Of State, under date o
July 5, has issued certificate where
in it is declared that ''said change o
name is authorized by law and said cor
poration shall hereafter be known b,
the name of West Virginia Northern
Railroad Company, which certiticat,
has been filed in the Office of the clerl
of the County Court of Preston county
for the purpose OF being recorded
therein, as required by law Where
fore, the said Kingwood, Tunneltor
& Fairchance Railroad Company i;
and shall be hereafter be known ant
styled by the name of the West Vir
ginia Northern Railroad Company.

The plaintiffs claim that Archer

and then took it up for himself think
ing that il was good. A well was
put down and it came in a fine pro.
ducer. Suit was then brought fol-
damages by the former co-tenants and
they will use every effort to force the
present possessor to disgorge.
The point involved has never been
passed on in this state and there is nc
precedent for the decision to be based
on. In this respect it will be very
important decision and will be watch

gal profession all over the state.
The amount of money said to be in
volved is close on to 800, 900 so that
the interest from this will be very
keen among those who are directly
affected. Lazzelle & Stewart and
Cox Il Baker, of Morgantown, togeth-
er with Caldwell & Caldwell, of Wheel
ing, represent the plaintiffs. The
suit is one of the most important ever
brought in the county and from
present indications will be stubbornly
contested.
The well on the lease in question is
fine producer and other wells were
being put down when the suit was
brought. Several hundred acres are
contained in the tract in question. 1t
adjoins some of the best oil territory
in the county.

There is good deal of disap.
pointment among the Republicans
because there was not big row at
the meeting of the Democratic ma
tiOnal committee at Chicago last
week. They had hoped for dissen-
sions, chickering's and hair pullings,
but there was nothing of the kind.
1t is too bad for the Republicans,
but it will be still worse for them in
1900. Democratic harmony is not
at all to their liking.
1t is surely to be hoped that Elihu
Root, the newly appointed secretary
of war, will meet the requirements
of the position, for there has been
blundering enough in that depart
ment already. Mr.. Root is credited
with being an able man and a good
lawyer. and if that means qualifica-
ton for the duties now imposed up
on him, then he is well qualified.
Much will be expected of him and
the country will rejoice if it be not
disappointed
