Cars to Martins Ferry,

The first effort to operate the Wheel
Ing street car line in Martins Ferry
: since the discouragins attempt made
last Sunday. occurred yesterday after
noon. and with successful results.
Shortly after l:30 two cars, well pro-
tected by deputy marshals. made their
way through town without any inter-
ference upon the part OF the people.
Their progress was necessarily slow. on
account Of the large amount OF material
OF all kinds which had been placed on
the tracks Sunday. About o'clock
two more cars passed around the loop
without any demonstrations OF disap-
proyal, except an occasional jeer. The
passing Of the cars yesterday created
practically no excitement among the.
people. am! was great improvement
over their conduct OF Sunday after
noon. It Is hoped that there will be no
further lawlessness.

Shot Down in the Public Road.

Wesson. John P. Fore was assas-
sinated Saturday afternoon at 8
O'Clock about eight miles west of
here in Lincoln county and one mile
from his home by some persons I'm
known, concealed in the bushes by
the roadside. Fore had been to
East's mill and was returning home
when he was shot w. W. Womack
of Brookhaven was near by when
the shots were fired, going in an op-
posite direction to Fore and was the
first to reach him. He says that
Fore only lived about twenty min
utes after being struck down. Fore
shot and fatally wounded Matthews
in October, 1897, near his, Fore's,
home and about one mile from where
he met his death Saturday. He was
tried in the Lincoln County Circuit
Court for the murder of Matthews
and sentenced to the penitentiary
for life. but the Supreme Court re-
versed the verdict and ordered a
new trial, which resulted in his ac
quittal, since which time he has
been living quietly on his farm,
Deceased was about forty eight
years of age and leaves wife and
eleven children. A heavy rain

shooting, no attempt was made to
hunt the assassin with bloodhounds,
as all tracks had been obliterated
by the downpour. Fore was very
near sighted and, although con-
scious, was not able to see who shot
him, and hence could not give any

VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN

To Be Inaugurated by Gen. Otis Within
the Next Fortnight.
A Washington special says: There
is some reasons to expect some impor-
tant news from Manila within the next
fortnight. 1t has developed that Cen
eral Otis has practically completed his
plans for a grand onslaught on the in
surgents which is expected to deprive
them of offensive power at least. 1t
is probable that he will form large
part of his force into columns, as soon
as his reinforcements are all at hand,
and will push these in parallel lines
straight through the jungles, clearing
out the insurgents in every direction
as the troops go forward. The Ameri-
can troops are getting restless and
nervous under the petty but annoying
sharpshooting of the Filipinos and are
SO anxious to put stop to this that
General Otis has yielded to their de-
sire.

worth of property was destroyed by
fire here today. The Mary Holmes
college, an industrial school for color
ed girls, burned this morning and this
afternoon the cotton compress, shed,
etc, together with large amount of
cotton, vas destroyed.
The fire in the seminary was caused
by the burning SCOT from the chimney
in the cook room. The building was
erected two years ago at cost of $780,
900. The equipment cost SO, 900 or
SIS, 900 more. The total insurance is
only $40, 900.
At about 8: 80 this afternoon spark
from Mobile and Ohio engine started
q blaze among the cotton bales in the
compress yards and as perfect gale
was blowing from favorable direc-
tion the fire spread as if in a powder
magazine and in an instant the entire
yards and warehouses were in blaze,
producing great clouds of flame and
smoke. Five thousand bales of cot
ton were in the yards and were con-
sumed, as were few cars that stood

house and cotton, the managers say,

weigher and for many years identified
with the cotton interests of this Sec
ton, in attempting to obtain some pa
pers from his office, was caught in the

Alabama got more out of the last
congress than any state in the union
in proportion to its population. NOT
only did it get the lions share in the
matter of war appointments and in the
list of heroes who came out OF the war,
but during the last days it managed to
pass under the string with more ap-
preparations for rivers and harbors
than any state in the south. The War
rior river alone gets $500, 900 and a
