HUNT GONE.
Seneca Restaurant Keeper
Leaves Morgantswn Hur-
riedly.

Deserts His Family and Leaves His
Creditors in the Lurch-Snit Brought
to Close up His Estate-Is Well to do
and Will Pay out-Fear OF Indict-
ment thought TO have Taken Him
Away.
John Hunt formerly of Beechurst
has left the country aud left his wife
and children behind him. He pulled
out some days ago having been here
on Chadwick Day and running a res.
taurant on Peasants street that day.
Hunt is we'll known over town and a
great many people will be surprised TO
hear this announcement.
Suit has been brought by the Nor
gantown Savings and Loan society to
wind up his estate and pay off the
claims Of the creditors named in
this suit. They are the Mutual So
ciety and G. w. Huston.
Theamount Of their claims is about
fifteen hundred dollars. The proper
ty owned by the missing man is ample
to meet all the claims OF the creditors
it is thought. Hunt owns a house
and lot in Seneca besides the restau-
rant property. In all he owns three
lots.
1t is not known where he is at pres
ent but it is reported that he is ia
Pittsburg and that he is not coming
back. His wife states that he has
deserted her and that she does not
look for him TO return. 1t was ia &C
cordance with information given by
her that the suit was brought.
1t is claimed that the reason for
Hunt leaving was that he was afraid of
the Grand Jury. He had been dong a
fine business and had 1t is seporled
been adding great deal to it's vol
ume by traffic in the ardent. Get
ting frightened over the outlook he
skinned out but not a single indict-
ment was returned against him. The
next term of the Grand Jury will
probably find every soak in town
swearing to having bought liquor Of
him but Of no other man in the bust
ness. This has been the history in
the past and will likely be in the flu
ture.

HEALTHY CONDITION
or Crops Indicated by Reports From
Different Counties.

The monthly crop and stock report
for October, issued by the secretary of
the state board of agriculture, is out.
Summing up the conditions prevailing
IL says:
Reports indicate healthy conditions
throughout the State notwithstand-
ing the protracted dry weather which
has been SO generally wide spread.
The acreage OF wheat sown seems to
be a fair average and the conditions
are pretty generally favorable. The
corn crop has suffered more perhaps
than any other crop, and while the
yield and quantity will average about
so per cent, most OF the farmers will
have sufficient to feed through the
winter. Stock of all kinds are report
ed ia most cases to be In a healthy
condition and in good demand at in
creased prices. The apple crop varies
considerably. The reports seem TO
Indicate that this variance Is due
more largely to insect pests than to
climate or local conditions"

A party OF University students went
to Pittsburg this afternoon TO see Joe
Jefferson. He will hardly get to that
city any more and the chance 20 see
him has proved to be very entlcing.
1t will be matter of supreme salts
faction TO the young men in question
when he shall have left the stage per-
manently as he will in very short
time. He has announced his retire
ment once before but came back after
staying off for year. The infirmi-
ties of years will prove too much for
him before very long.

A Great Scenic Entertainment.

Under the Dome Lincoln j. Carriers
newest play will be seen here, for the
first time at the opera house on Fri
day, Nov Sd. 1t is a five act comedy
drama the scenes of which are laid in
Washington, New York and the Sa-
moan Islands. Some remarkable
scenic effects are promised One of
these is a realistic reproduction of
the dreadful hurricane which swept
the harbor of Apia, Mar. 10, 1889,
and which resulted in the destruction
of the German war vessels Eber and
Adler and the American war ships
Nipsic, Vandalia and Trenton and
the Bleaching of the German war YES
sci Olga and the loss of 1Ad lives
Another clever stage counterfeit for
which much is promised is the scene
in which the audience in company
with the characters of the play make
the trip ola ferry boat from Jersey City
to New York.

ANOTHER FACTORY.
Rumors about new glass Fac
tory hard to run Down.

Reports That The Matter.i Is Settled all
But the Building i'm The Move
ment State That the Matter is Still
In The Air-What is Said about it
Over Town.
Another Glass factory is reported on
foot for Morgantown. Local men are
said to be behind the movement but
when questioned they have nothing
to say for publication. They state
that there has been some talk done
about it but that nothing definite
has been accomplished.
On the other hand others who
claim to be informed say that the
factory is sure go. That it will
employ two hundred hands and that
the money is raised to make it 60
The location is given as just above
the Seneca plant on Beechurst. 9th
er interesting details are given but
these are denied by those who are
said to be on the inside.
Be that as it may there is I'M
doubtedly something in the air and
we may before long have the desired
factory in full blast. 1t is stated
that the men who are behind it are
the same people who organized by
getting a charter last year but they
will get together this time for keeps.
They will make pressed ware.
There is an opening for this kind
OF factory here and the claim is
made that they have the needed
money subscribed For some reason
or other they want nothing said about
their plans or the names of those who
are doing the work. q They will do a
great deal for the town in case they
get the plans matured as they hope
TO.
Morgantown needs more factories to
enable her to continue the progress
that she has made in the past few
years and we hope that this project
may meet with the success that it
should meet with. The people of the
town are very anxious in every way
to advance the interests of the city
and they can be counted on to make
gecd any demands that may be made
on them.

LARGE LOCAL INTEREST.
Play To night Commentaries
an Event in Commander
Browns Career

Wreck Of the Trenton at samoa Made
Less Terrific by the Foresight of the
Gallant officer --Experiment Adopted
by Him-His Health Wrecked by the
Terrible Strain.
The play tonight will be very in
teresting to Commander Brown and
Lieutenant Middleton who were both
actors in the original drama at Samoa
the former being in command Of the
Ill fated Trenton and the latter being
one of the petty officers on the same
ship.
They will be interested spectators
Of the play tonight and the scene
will arouse in them peculiar emotions.
Commander Brown was in command
of the Trenton and he will watch the
scenic production of the terrible ca
lamity in which he lost his health.
During the terrible gale he found
his ship helpless. The rudder was
gone and the sails blown to ribbons.
The ship was in narrow channel six
ty feet wide and several hundred feet
long. Had the ship stuck on either
side it would have been dashed to
pieces. 1t was apparently doomed.
Commander Brown ordered bis crew
aloft and they sprang into the rigging
making sails out of their bodies.
This was sufficient to take the ship
onto the beach where 1t could be pull
ed off and the men rescued.
Commander Brown received a great
deal of we'll merited praise for this
feat and his fame is deserved one.
In view of the incidents that will
be played on the mimic stage tonight
the drama takes on an added interest
and the audience is expected to be
very large.

Famous Inventor Dead.

Ottmar Mergenthaler, che inven-
tor of the linotype machine which
bears his name, and one of the most
intricate and complicated pieces of
machinery ever executed, died at
his home in Baltimore, Saturday.
After Mergenthaler invented the
linotype he had no money to manu-
facture them. A company was or
ganized but like most inventors,
Mengenthaler received but small
part of the profits. About 1000 of
the machines have been sod at a
price of $4,000 and the inventor re-
ceives a royalty of $50 on each ma
chine sold. He has thus realized
100000 out of an invention that is
worth many millions of dollars.

Stronger Than Ever However and
will win The Game.
The football team will leave at noon
tomorrow for Clarksburg where it will
meet the Waynesburg team. The

game will be played. The team will
leave on the noon train and will be
accompanied by very large crowd of
rooters who will pull for victory
They will return on special in the
night some time leaving Clarksburg
after supper.
They ought to win the game al
though the Waynesburgers are very
strong. Waynesburg held down w.
and J. to two touchdowns and were
defeated with a great deal of trouble
by the red and black. They are in
better shape now than they were when
they did this.
W. V. u. has several men on the
hospital list. The center is the last
man to get there. He had his leg
broken on Thursday afternoon during
the practice and will not be able to
get out any more this year. Hodges
is another man who will not play any
more having his collar bone broken.
Several of the other men have minor
injuries but they will go into the
game at Clarksburg with the strongest
team that we have had tnis yeal aud
will win without great deal Of
trouble. 1t will be game worth see
ing and all should take it in who can
go.
The team has become somewhat
discouraged over the defeats that it
has been receiving but 1t will brace
up from this until the end of the sea-
son and should win the rest Of the
games it plays. The management is
making an effort to get another game
with Marietta when we will get even
with them for the defeat at that
place. The team was then badly
crippled but they will be all right
next time.

CLARA BARTON
Gives Some Very Cogent Reasons why
Women Should Vote.

A letter from Clara Barton has re-
Gently been made public which may
be of interest TO many, as coming
from one who has devoted her life TO
the service of her country, which, in
turn, refuses her any voice in choos-
ing those who are TO rule over its des-
TIMES. Here is what she says
II believe | must have been born
believing in the full right of women
to all the privileges and positions
which nature and justice accord to
her in common with other human be-
ings. Perfectly equal rights. -haman
rights. There was never any ques-
tion in my mind in regard to this. I
did not purchase my freedom with a
price; | was born free; and when, as
a younger woman, | heard the subject
discussed, it seemed simply ridiculous
that any sensible, sane person should
question it. And when, later, the
phase of woman's right to suffrage
came up it was to me only part Of
the whole, just as natural just as
right, and just as certain to take
place.
"And whenever / have been urged,
as a petitioner, to ask for this privi-
lege for women, kind of dazed, be-
wildered feeling has come over me.
ssOf whom should | ask this privi-
ilege? Who possessed the right to
confer it? Who had greater RICH.
than woman herself? Was it man,
and if SO, where did he get it? Who
conferred it upon him? He depended
upon woman for his being, his very
existence, nurture and rearing. More
fitting that she should have conferred
it upon him.
sWas it governments? What were
they but the voice of the people?
What gave them their power? Was
it divinely conferred? Alas! no: or
they would have been better, purer,
more just and stable.
WAS it force of arms-war? Who
furnished the warriors? Who but
the mothers? Who reared their sons
and taught them that liberty and
their country were worth their blood9
Who gave them up, wept their fall,
nursed them in suffering and mourn
ed them dead?
"Was it labor? Women have al
ways, as rule, worked harder than
men.
WAS it capital? Woman has fur
nished her share up to the present
hour. Who then, can give the right,
and on what basis? Who can with
hold it?
.sIn regard to my nationality, | was
born in the old Huguenot town of
Oxford, Mass, q. s. A. Ny father
and mother were born there. My
grandfathers and grandmothers, with
two exceptions, were born, lived, died
and were buried there.
"There is, once in while a mon
arch who denies the right Of man to
place crown upon his head. Only
the great Jehovah can crown and an
noint him for his work, and he reaches
out, takes the crown, and places it
upon his head with his own hand. |
suspect that this is in effect what
woman is doing to-day. Virtually
there is no one to give her the right
to govern herself, as men govern them
selves by self-made and self-approved
laws of the land. But in one way or
another. sooner or later, she is com
ing toit. And the number of thought
full and right minded men who will
oppose, will be much smaller than we
think; and when it is really an accom-
plished fact, all will wonder, as have
done, what the objection ever was"
