Cars in the 8. 4 o.Yards are Be-

boys are in Jail.

The BurgIariss.
1t is Believed, and Many More
Arrests Will be Made, as Soon

Matters a Little More.

The burglary of freight cars In the
B. s. o. yards here has become com.
mon day occurrence within the past
month, and, Notwithstanding the fact
that several small boys, who confessed
TO the crime, are in Jail, the burglary
continues, the last occurring Tuesday
night. No less that ten cars have
been broken into and goods OF almost
every description, especially perish
able, taken. Experienced B. s. o.
detectives have been quito their wits
end to ferret the theftS, and not until
Saturday night was there any tangible
clue. That night Agent A. o. An.
non and Ticket Agent G. II. Towles
ran across a small boy John Lidey
who is a tramp and who claims his
home was at Webster, Pa, before his
parents died. He was intoxicated,
and upon interrogatlng him, they
gained information that led to the ar.
rest Monday OF Lum Graves, aged Is
years; Roscoe Hanger, Colored, aged u
years; Cay Wilson. colored, aged II
years; John LIdey, aged is years;
Robert Turner, age 10 years; COT
Graves, aged u years and Jay Nc
Chung, who led that memorable mob
that chased E. A. Young, Of Buck
harmon, to his death.
The Squire had a dInlcult problem
before him to solve. They had
entered 50 many cars and taken so
much stuff at various times, and told
so many stories that he scarcely knew
how to render a verdict applicable to
any one of them, with the exception
of Jay McClung, who was acquitted
and discharged, the only evidence
being against him that he drank some
whlskey the other boys had stolen.
The other boys all confessed to enter
ing the cars and taking the goods but
only in one instance confessed to
breaking open the cans, and then
John Lidey, the boy tramp, said he
cut the seal to the whiskey. 1t was
not clearly proven that the boys
broke the cars open, though the COM
pany's official record showed them to
have been properly sealed. The
burglaries were all committed late In
the evening and after dark.
Margaret Hanger, mother of Roscoe
Hanger, refused TO make a charge
against her boy, that he might be
committed to the reform school, and
he was held for court.
Lum Graves will be sent to the
refrom school, provided his father
makes the proper charge. Gofi Graves
will probably be sent there also.
Cay Wilson is an orphan with nc
one to look after him, but the esquire
will endeayor TO send him to the re.
form school, and the boy tramp also.
A pail Of candy was found at
Margaret Hangers by otfcer Boggess
and B. s. o. Detective John Short,
Other goods, such as cheese, sardines,
chewing tobacco, smoking tobacco, an
encyclopedias etc, were found scattered
and hid around in the neighborhood Of
"Hell's Half Acre"
The burglaries appear to be the
stroke of master hand and the I'M
preston prevails that oder head
mapped out plans for the boys. How
ever, the little boy tramp show
enough precocity to have been the
leader.

with an additional clause notifying
them to vacate and deliver up the
houses they occupied, on or before

According to previous arrangement

night in the d. X. Reed hall and dis
cussed the situation in detail. Nearly
eighty miners were present. NJ. f.
Cornell, William Frush, Michael
Bodkins, Mr.. Young and N. J.,
Coyne. Most of these were men, who
as committee for the miners had
awaited upon the company and laid
their grievances before it.

trouble as published at the time. Mr..
Cornell reported that he and Mr..
Bodkin as committee for the pur-
pose saw President T. NJ. Jackson,
Saturday, who informed them he had
no time to talk about it then, but
would give them an answer Monday.
He said that answer came Monday
through the general manager in the
way OF discharge.
A number made ST rhcs bitterly
denouncing the comp efforts, as
they thought, to uSuI. 4e miners
rights, and all present heartily APP
plauded these sentiments.
Mr. Manka told Of a meeting of
seven scabs at the st. Charles hotel
that evening and of couple Of them
bouncing upon him and holding him
in custody for two hours, thus detain-
ing him some time from the meeting
in Reeds hall. He told story about

afternoon by a well-dressed man, who
said to him, II hear about you. know
you. You caused the trouble. When
you 20 to Georges Creek or Belington
you will be killed." he said the man
pulled out pocket memorandum
book and showed him Manka's name.
Mr.. Mauka also said he knew that
dynamite had been placed near Glen
Elk bridge, with which TO kill him.
The native miners assured Mr. MSnka
that no harm should come TO him.
James Simms made \ motion that
the miners stand as they have been,
until they get satisfaction, or until
the company accepts their proposition.
The motion was unanimously adopted.
A committee consisting OF Messrs.
Coyne and Young and a Slav was APP
pointed to solicit funds for the miners
who are needy.
Presldent jackson and several OF the
company are absent from the city,
but a director informed the TELEGRAM
representative that THE miners will
have to accept the physician or the
works will be closed" He added I'VE

ECHOES OF THE INSTITUTE
Which Closed at shlnnston Last Friday.
One Of the best Ever Held.

The Teachers Institute closed FRI
day, August 10. 1t was the most sue
cessful ever held IN the county.
The teachers from all over the coun-
ty gathered together in the thriving
little town Of Shinnston and enjoyed .
week Of hospitality as only the good
citizens of that town are able TO give.
The work done Was unique. Not
wIthStandinR the weather was very
warm 1t was seldom that the WCnted
din Of the fans, which were kept con-
stantly going, was interrupted by any
one leaving. So intensely interesting
was 1t made, that 1t was as one mass
OF persons held spell bound.
Although the number of teachers
were not swelled as large as on former
institutes, being 2O0enrolled, yet they
were there for one purpose.
And it was often the remark OF the
citizens OF Shinnston that never had
they a more orderly set OF teachers in
their midst.
DR.. HartZler who knew so well when
to commence and when to quit never
failed to get the desired offer to rest
with his hearers. His theory OF the
coal formation was interesting. He
does not agree with the text books,
but attributes it to gyrations OF the
earth's axis caused by the accumula-
tlon Of snow and ice at the poles.
Prof. Shaw gave many good talks
and presented many useful ideas. His
work was largely on the line Of psy
chology which he had made specially
in one OF the New England UNIVERSE
ties.
DIR. Swartz, of Broaddus, gave the
teachers something Of much interest
along the practical lines of chemistry,
He dwelt with the common things
which had been always before the eyes,
and never seen by so many.
Miss McWhorter, OF Buckhannon,
entertained the teachers hugely by
her readings. Her selections were
both OF a serious and comic nature.
She showed much talent and training.
Also the institute was not without To-
cal talent. One evening was given to
this which seemed to be enjoyed by all
present.
Prof. R. A. Armstrong; lecture
Thursday night on 1.-THE Ideal Teach
err was interesting, amusing and In
structive.
Among Others who addressed the In
stitute were Prof. Frank Trotter of
Buckhannon, and Prof. Barnes, of
Fairmont.
