DOG PRISONERS.
Several Greenmont CANNES
have gone to Kingdom Come.

Poison Discovered in a well wall at one
Place-yery Dangerous Proceed.

and They win Proseeute-Inquirf By
Amateur Detectives have Given

The dog posoncr has laid several
CANNES low on Greenmont and the
owners are full OF wrath in conse-
auence The first ones to pass 60
canine Kingdom come went over on
Monday night, On Tuesday three
more joined the silent majority and
their fate has added to the chorus of
curses that have been going up on
that side of the creek.
Investigation was set or foot on
Tuesday and several pieces Of meat
with poison literally applied to them
were discovered. One of these was
stuck in the well at Robert Blooms.
The piece contained enough poison to
kill several men and was placed IL a
creyice in the wall of the well above
the ground

sequence would have been terrible and
it might have resulted in the death of
several people. The people who found
the meat were very angry and they
are determined to push the matter.
An investigation was set on foot
and it was found where the poison
was purchased or at any rate where
some had been bought few days ago
and from this the rest of the proceed
ings will follow.
1t is not thought that the people
who put the poison out intended to
do anything but poison some dogs but
had the stuff gotten into the well
where it might readily have gone had
it not been discovered it would have
made things very interesting for those
who used the water
The law in regard to the placing OF
poison out is very severe and those
who have done this will have to suffer
for what they have done if the pres
ent intentions of the prosecutors are
carried out.

BASE BALL.
Some more Notes on the Great
est of all Pastimes.

Manager Sweeney is Back from Bush
Shaking Trip pittsburg College Can
not be Toiled here-The Eastern trip
will be Begun in Day or so--The
Teams that Are to BE Played w.
and j. In for Licking.
Manager John Sweeney of the base
ball team returned this morning from
Pittsburg where he had been TO look
after Pttsburg College. He found II
impossible To get the team here to
play as the authorities will not allow
them to be away over night They
have very fine aggregation and
would have given our fellows run
for their money Lad they come.
He visited Washington on the trip
and saw the practice at w and J..
II the latter team does not improve
wonderfully they will be chewed up
by the local nine when they come to-
gether. The Washington lads are not
in II this year with rs and they will
be taught that fact when we meet
again
The team will start on It's eastern
trip possibly on tomorrow. In case
they do go then the first game will be
with Georgetown on the twenty
eighth. This team however wants to
give us a later date when the boys
will have to be in Morgantown.
Sweeney has wired them that he can
play only on the date as ut first ar
ranged.
If this falls through the first game
OF the eastern trip will be with the
Naval Cadets at Annapolis. The next
date is blank and Monday has several
chances for games but Is not definitely
settled on as yet. Lawrenceville
comes next and then Princeton follow
ed by two games with University OF
Virginia on their grounds then the
University OF Maryland will be played.
This will end the week and the next
one will be opened by game with
Johnstown and then the return home
on Tuesday.
A couple Of days will be spent in
resting and then Pittsburg College
will be met in Pittsburg on the
twelfth and on the next day ", and
]. will be played at Washington.
The team is in good shape and hopes
that 1t will win enough of these games
to show that il is by rights classed in
fast company.

GEOLOGICAL REPORT.
What Wheeling Correspondent Says
of The First Volume.
Special Correspondence

One of the most important docu-
ments treating of the states resources
is the first volume of the reports on
the state geological survey compiled
by DR.. /. G. White, state geologist,
and within its pages is confined a
mass of instructive and interesting
data Full justice to the work can
only be done by perusal of its pages.
1t is interesting to learn, however,
that the first use Of oil and gas by
White men began in this state, and
that nearly all the drilling machinery
was invented by West Virginia opera
tors, as well as the fact that before
oil was discovered in Pennsylvania, it
was business in the Little Kanawha
valley oil selling from 33 to 40 cents
a gallon between the years 1847 to
1860.
Accompanying the first volume of
the report is the first map ever issued
by the state, it showing the distribu-
tion of coal fields, oil and gas wells.
The second report, soon to be publish
ed, will pertain particularly to coal,
and will also have an article on the
Literature of West Virginia Geology.

BASE BALL BENEFIT.
A Great Success is Scored by
the Ladies Tuesday Night

Handsome sum is Realized From the
Entertaiument-Eye one had a
Good Time-Everything Exhaust
ed before the wants of the Crowds
are Satisfied Music Furnished To
whom the Credit is Due.
The entertainment for the benefit
of the baseball team last night netted
about seventy five dollars More
would have been realized but every
thing provided gave out before the
crowds We're satisfied and many of the
people who were present had to go
away with nothing
The decorations OF Municipal Hall

tiful; decorated in the University
and National colors. The commit
tee on decorations was composed OF
Mrs. Barbe and Mrs. Hartigan with

Jessie Moorhead, Hattie Pride and
Misses Douthat. Dir. Boyers, Guy
Wiley, James Lazier and Student
Casey assisted them a great deal.
The music was furnished by the
Hartigan orchestra and this is
enough to say to show that it was
everything that it ought to have
been. Messrs. Stewart, Mestrezat
Lazier and McWhorter gave solos
which were greatly enjoyed.
The crowds in attendance were
large, in fact they were much larger
than any one anticipated and no ad
equate provision had been made for
their wants Standing room was at
a premium from the time the doors
were opened until the end of the eve
ming. More than three hundred and
fifty tickets had been sold before
the doors opened and many others
attended.
A great many very pretty bits OF
fancy work were on sale. The fra
ternity calendars were particularly
pretty and were snapped up as fast
as people could buy them. A great
many more could have been sold had
they been provided
Mrs. Hartigan was the chief spir.

for the success of the affair must be
ascribed She never does anything
by halves and the benefit last night
was but another evidence that what
ever she has charge of must be. in
the highest degree successful

The deputy internal revenue collec-

Selling cigars bearing the stamps
made by the Lancaster eounterseiters,
who are now under arrest at Philadel-
pha. At the internal revenue office
this morning it was stated that 49,
900 cigars had been seized in Wheel
ing alone. The cigars were made by
Kendig and Jacobs, the Pennsylvania
counterfeiters The boxes do not
bear the names of the manufacturers
but can be told by the factory num-
Der on the bottom OF the boxes.
Kendig's number is 459 and Jacobs is
i3,741. Nearly all of the boxes bear
the stamp of the latter factory. Some
of them are sold under various ficti-
tious names such as the Eagle, Postal
and Cash tobacco companies. The
cigars are of inferior quality such as
are handled by wholesale grocers and
| jobbers To the country trade and sec
ond-class saloons. Most OF them have
! stock labels.
| At one wholesale grocery house Is,
600 cigars were seized. Two whole
sale houses had over half the conflis-
Gated goods. The rest were scattered.

stock. When the Illegal cigars were

1t is not yet known what DISPOSE
tion will be made of the cOnfiscated
goods, the government not having adj
vfsed the the local authorities as To
that point. 1t is thought here that

ed to recover them upon payment Of

is A QUESTION
OF SURVIV0RSH|P

Chicago, Feb. 22.-Whie friends and
associates are engaged in an anxious
quest for the charred remains of Post
man Frederick II. Marty, who perished
with his wife and baby in the Arlington
flats fire on February IA, a point has
come to the surface in connection with
his fraternal insurance. Only three
months ago Marty Joined George b. Nc
Clellan Council No. 495 of the National
Union. He took out $4,000 policy, max
ing his wife, Agnes Marty, the bene-
ficiary In view of the entire family's
death, the question of survivorship has
arisen, for it must be determined whether
Marty or his wife died first. The de-
cision on this question will determine
whether the money shall be paid to Mr..
or Mrs. Martyrs heirs. Mrs. Marty is re-
ported to have parents living, and Cap
tain John f. Healy, Marty's supcrn-
tendent at the postotiice, says he has a
blind mother in New York to whose sup
port he contributed. Men from the de-
partment of public works will today in
augurate systematic search through the
Arlington ruins. The opinion prevails
that the Marty bodies will be found.

NEGROS NATIVES ;

Manila, Feb 22.-12:45 p. m.-While the
guns on the city wall and those on board
the ships of Deweys fleet in the bay fired
a salute in honor of Washington's birth
day. four commissioners from the island
of Negros had an interview with Otis
and informed him the American flag had
already been raised over that island and
its inhabitants were ready, anxious and
willing to accept any proposition the
Americans might offer. The insurgents
have been driven from the island entirely.
Although the Iloilo rebels have given the
pcaple of NegrOs much trouble, espe-
ole Nv in the matter of financial assist
ancc made by rebel leaders, the inhab-
itants of Negros have persistently held
aloof. and now, through the commission
ers, announced that they wanted the ad-
Nice and help of Otis. The latter assured
them the Americans would provide an
acceptable government, and in the mean
time he instructed them not to pay the
rebels anything. The Negros commits
sioners were delighted with their recep-
tion.
