MORE CHANGES.
3. & O. to Have Yardmaster
at This Point.

He will Have General Oversight ofall
the Yards Here-Large Additions to
the Tracks are Promised-Superin-
tendent Norris SAYS That The New
Depot will Soon be Built.
Mr.. J. S. Norris OF Connellsyille
who is superintendent the Cennells-
vile division of the Baltimore s. Ohio
has been in town looking after the
interests of the company here. Many
plans are being prepared for the bet
terment of the facilities at this point
Mr.. Norris stated while here that
there was no doubt that the new de-
pots would be built here soon but just
when the work would begin he did
not say He said nothing about the
reported additions 60 the yards which
have been announced from headquar-
tiers as having been decided upon
Both Morgantown and Smithfeld,
Pa, are to have great addition to
their trackage facilities. This has
been rendered necessary by the In-
crease in the business brought about
by the opening of new connecting
roads The Morgantown & Kingwood
is bringing out lots Of freight and
this will increase as the road goes
further to the sontn.
The b. & O. wants to nurse these
connecting lines all it can and it will
leave nothing undone that will add to
their output. Then the yards here
have been cramped for long time.
There are lots of sidings but it is a
hard matter for trains to pass here.
This is to be remedied
A yard master here is also being
talked of. Probably Mr.. Emil
Schultz will be given the place il he
wants it. He will have a general
oversight of the yards, placing all
cars an attending TO the shifting that
is done This position will be very
desirable one and we hope that he
will take It,
Morgantown has received a great
deal from the B. & O. hut she needs
a great deal more and the business
that we are giving the company is
sufficient to recompense them for any
expenditure that they may make here.
They are now disposed to do the right
thing by us.

While |. n. Weaver and Mrs.
Frank Cox were coming up the river
near Jimtown rock weighing sew
eral tons fell from the hillside and
narrowly missed striking their horse
which stopped just in time to pre-
vent it. The stone came from near
the quarries which were opened a

very large number of small stones
have fallen down this place but this
is the.largest one that has been re-
ported. Some one is going to get
badly hurt unless steps are taken
to put an end to this sort of thing.

CANAL TREATY DISCUSSION
TO VOTE ON AMEND
MENT NEXT THURSD4Y.
Fate of the Recommendation of the
Foreign Relations Committee for the
Policing of the Canal to be Decided Mt
That Time-SenatOr TeIIer's Amend
I,ieI,t.

| Washington, Dec. 1.-THE develop
ments in the Senate in executive ses-
sion in connection with the Hay-Paun-
cefote treaty were:
An agreement on the part of the Sem
ate to vote on the amendment offered
by the committee on foreign relations
providing for the policing of the canal
on next Thursday at o'clock.
An amendment was offered by Sena-
tor Teller striking out the treaty pro-
hibition against the fortification of the
Nicaragua canal when constructed
The conclusion of Senator Morgan's
speech A speech by Senator Teller in
opposition to the treaty.
The agreement for a vote on the COM
mittee amendment was secured soon
after the executive session began. 1t
was reached by unanimous consent as
the result of a request made by Sena-
tor Lodge. Senator Lodge did not ask
to have a date fixed for vote upon
the treaty itself, believing that the fate
of the measure will be determined by
the result of the vote on the amend
ment
Senator Morgan in his speech went
over the same ground covered by him
yesterday, saying he desired simply to
clear up some misapprehension con-
cerning his position.
Senator Teller spoke for about two
hours giving notice of his amendment
at the beginning of his address. The
amendment suggested relates to sec
ton Z of article 2 of the treaty. AS
that section now stands it reads as fol-
lows:
mo fertilization shall be erected com
manding the canal or waters adjacent.
The United States shall be at liberty to
maintain such military police along the
canal as may be necessary to protect
it against lawlessness and disorder"
The Colorado senator's amendment
provides for the striking out of the first
sentence of this provision and for YER
bal changes in the remaining portion,
making it read as follows:
"The United States shall be at liber-
ty to maintain such military force
along the canal as may be necessary to
protect it against lawlessness and dis
order"
Replying to Senator Morgan, Senator
Teller expressed the opinion that Great
Britain would never permit her resent
ment of independent action by the Unit
ed States to lead her to begin hostilities
because her material interests in main
tanning peace with this country is too
great; but he argued that to ask Eng
lands assent to the construction of the
canal was to admit that that country
had a right to express its dissent. That
position, he said, never could be ac-
cepted by the people of this country.

HE4TY BOER LOSSES.
Their Casualties In Attack on British
Convoy Estimated Mt 100.

Pretoria, Dec. Cit is said that the
Beers suffered heavily in the attack on
the British convoy that was proceeding
from Pretoria to Rustenburg. Their
casualties are estimated at 100. They
were also frustrated in their attempt to
obtain supplies.
1t was hoped that direct railway COM
munication with Johannesburg, which
has been interrupted owing to the de-
struction of bridge al Irene, would be
restored in day, and that the use of
deviation from the regular line would
not be necessary. Owing to the heavy
rains, however, it has been impossible
to repair the break caused by the wash
out and it Is not reported that another
bridge has been washed away, making
a further deviation necessary in the line
between here and the Cape. Heavy
supplies are now being sent here to
guard against any shortage that might
be caused by further breaks
It is probable that a town guard of
British residents will be established
here, similar to the one at Johannes
burg.

OLEOMARGERTNE BILL PASSES.
House Adopts the Grout Measure byVote
of I0S to 92.

Washington, Dec. THE house to-
day passed the Grout oleomargarine
bill by vote of 1893 to 92. The substi-
tute offered by the minority of the
committee on agriculture which i'm
posed additional restrictions on the
sale of oleomargarine to prevent its
fraudulent sale as butter and increased
the penalties for violators was defeated
by vote of 113 to IT'S.
The bill passed makes all articles
known as oleomargarine, butterne, inn
itation butter or imitation cheese
transported into any state or territory
for consumption or sale subject to the
police power of such state or territory,
but prevents any state or territory from
forbidding the transportation or sale of
such product when produced and sold
free from coloration in imitation of
butter. The bill increases the tax on
oleomargarine colored in imitation of
butter from two to ten cents per pound
and decreases the tax on oleomargarine
uncolored from cents to one quarter
of a cent per pound. A long and inter-
esting debate preceded the vote

Heirs Agree on the Apprnise m emit of G.
ID. HnsbrOuck

New York, Dec. 7.-After a long de-
lay the heirs of the late Cornelius VAN
derbilt have agreed to the appraise-
ment of the estate as made by G., D.
Hasbrouck, representing the state con-
troller The appraisement is $52, 600, 900
for the real estate. The figures insisted
on by the heirs were S49, 1926 S56,96, but
Mr.. Hasbrouck stood firm and has at
last gained his point.
The estimate fixed by Senator Depew
just after the will was filed for probate
was that the estate of his old associate
would be valued AT $iO,000OOO. This
would haev given to the residuary lega-
tee $34,500,00 Under this decision AL
fred Vanderblts fortune will amount
to $44,000,000.
But out of this residuary estate AL
fred has agreed to give to Cornelius
$4,000 600 in order to prevent lawsuit
threatened because the Oldest brother
was cut off with only $1500, 600 The
total amount coming to Cornelius inclu-
sive of the portion from the residuary
estate will reach $7,50o,0O0.

FRENCH GoYERNIENr UPHELD
No Inquiry Into Slavery and Cruelty i'm
the French Colonies.

Paris, Dec. THE Chamber of Depu-
ties, to-day, rejected a motion provid-
ing for a parliamentary inquiry into
slavery and cruelty in the French col
onies. The premier, M. Waldeck Rous-
seau, denounced the opposition's tao
tics of constantly bringing various
charges against administrative officials.
He said commission of inquiry would
be tantamount to putting the entire
colonial administration on the stand
and added that the government would
not retain power for a moment at such
price. He regarded the matter as
one of confidence. The motion was
then defeated by vote of 400 to 116.
The Senate adopted the naval bill af-
ter a short debate.

WAR TAX RED UCTION.
Republican Com mittee Members Agree
on One of $40, 100000.


WASHINGTON, Dec. T. Chairman
PAYNE of the ways and means commit
tee late this afternoon submitted the re-
mort of that committee signed by all the
republican members in favor of the bill
reducing the war revenue taxes about
$40 600, 900.
After giving the details of the reduc-
tions as previously published the report
goes on to say:
'In making the foregoing reduction
your committee believes that the bill
goes as far as it is safe in reducing the
revenue. They also believe that they
have made the reductions so as to do
away with the most annoying and veX-
atious taxes under the act and also to
relieve such business as is best entitled
to relief under all the circumstances
While regretting that they cannot make
a report finally, at this time, disposing
of the war taxes, except such as con-
gress may deem it wise hereafter to
keep upon the statute books, yet they
congratulate the country that they are
able to report bill striking off 40 per
cent of this kind of taxation
After this reduction of $40 900, 900
shall take effect, leaving revenue of
$65, 900, 600 under the war revenue act,
that sum will be barely sufficient. to
meet the train of extraordinary expen-
ditures which follow the close of actual
hostilities. We are certainly justified in
maintaining the war revenues up to a,
point equal to the extraordinary ex-
penses entailed by the war"

NAIL LLUCINATIONS THE TROUBLE
Veteran Imagines Someone Is Going to
Rob Him ofHis Money.

Winsted, Conn.,, Dec. 7.-Chester
Barnes, about whom reports have for a
week past been brought to the authori-
ties to the effect that he was discharg-
ing firearms at passersby from his
house on Canaan Mountain, was to-day
taken into custody and examined by
Drs. Hamant of Norfolk and Cobb Of
Falls Village as to his sanity. The de-
clsion reached was that Barnes was not
constant hallucinations which caused
him to think that some one was going
to kill him and rob him of his pension
of $12 a month. Barnes, it appears, is
a veteran of the civil war, belonging to
the Nineteenth Connecticut regiment,
and has lived a solitary life on Canaan
Mountain ever since the death of his
wife twelve years ago.
According to the story of Augustus
Monson, who lived near Barnes house,
the shooting fit began on Thanksgiving
day. That morning, Monson said, his
attention was attracted by a heavy dis
charge of firearms, and soon Barnes
came out of his house saying. Il have
killed one Of them, and wounded the
other; I heard him groan." The neigh
bors state that the interior of the house
which has beenAthe seat of operations
is entirely destroyed, and that the walls
are full of bullet holes Barnes is now
in the care of friends, and an effort
will be made to have him placed in the
Soldiers Home.

An ACTION BY KIPLING.
Injunction to Restrain PubIfshe ers from
Publication of HIS Works

New York, Dec. An application by
Rudyard kipling for an injunction to
restrain r. f. Fenno & Co., the publish
ers, from further publication or sale
of two editions of the authors work
recently put upon the market by that
firm, came up before Judge Lacombe
to-day in the United States circuit
court.
Mr.. Kipling's attorney said that there
was no question of copyright in the
motion, but that it was simply suit
brought to put an end to publication
of spurious edition, which by the use
of Mr.. kipling's trade mark of an ele-
phant's head it was attempted to stamp
it as an authors authorized edition.
Decision was reserved.
