GOWARDLY BACK DOWN.
Wheeling Crawffshes at the Last Mo-
ment and Refuses to Play the
Local Lads.

Wheeling has done the baby act
and has cancelled with the Universi-
ty. The team was to have been here
this morning for two games to-day
and tomorrow. Last night they
wired that they had no pitcher
Manager Brown Immediately offered
them Bowman whom they regard as
the best we have. They made no
reply.
The real facts are that they were
afraid that they would get beaten by
lot of college boys. They won out
at Wheeling by sheer luck and would
have certainly been defeated had they
come here. No one knows it better
THAI they do and true TO their repu-
tation of being quitters and rank
failures as true sportsmen they failed
to keep their contracts.
Suit will at once be brought by the
Morgantown management for damages
for breach of contract. Wheeling has
always had rotten reputation and
they are determined to live up to it
in every respect this season.

DAYTON DOOMED.
Efforts To Down Dayton Appar-
emily Successful.


/ Five Counties And Part OF Another
1 Against Him-Others are Disaffected
Il Few More Desertions aud His
Name is Dennis Other Political
Notes of Lively Interest.
/ Politics is beginning to warm up
and attract some attention in Nor
gantown. G. w Maxwell of King
wood came in on Wednesday after
noon with boom for Holt TO see
what could be done here. He states
1 that the sentiment over the district
against Dayton Il getting stronger
every day and that the little man
from Barbour will not be nominated
] this time.
Preston county S organization is said
to he for Holt. He has also captured
Taylor county and three delegates
from Tucker. He would have gotten
more of them had the proper kind OF
tactics been used against him by the
Dayton followers who however played
tricky game and landed part of the
representation.
Monongalia is seriously disatfected
and is expected to plump down a
number OF votes for Meredith for
whom Marion is solid. Berkeley
county together with Mineral and
Hampshire are lining up against Day
ton. The last two have not instruct
ed their delegates. This looks bad.
All over the district republican
politics is being pushed for all that
there is in it. The Democrats are
quieter and are content to watch
the situation. Mr. Mckinney has
not yet announced but will probably
be the nominee. Others are mention
ed but none of them have developed
any strength as yet.
State politics begins to get warm
also. Mr. S. L. Flournoy of Charles
ton has announced himself for the
Democratic nomination for governor.
He will be opposed by Judge Taven-
ner of Parkersburg and the fight will
be pretty one. Tavenner seems 10
have the call in this section among
the party.
Another bit Of interesting political
news comes from Charleston and it is
10 the effect that Prof Il. G. Miller
OF this place is to be named as Super
intendent Of Free Schools by the Re-
publicans. The machine has decided
TO root for him. l.. c. Anderson well
known here now OF Charleston has
been dropped by the ring and Miller's
name substituted. Morgantown has
two Democratic candidates for the
same place and this town will in all
probability have the next superinten-
dent for resident.

COAL AND IRON WEALTH.
The Large Increase In Coal Production
Last Year and Its Influence on Iron.

According to returns representing
between so and 80 per cent of the
total tonnage, the production of coal
in the United States 10 1899 is esti-
mated by Edward w. Parker, statis-
tician OF the United States geologi-
cal survey, to have amounted to 258-
539.650 short tons, an increase Of
17.5 per cent over 1898. The pro-
duction of 220,000,000 short tons in
1898 was nearly 20000,000 in excess
OF that in 1897, and both Of these
years were banner years in the in
dustry. The total value OF this pro
duct is estimated at $3.50, 435, AZ, an
increase OF over $51 ,000, 900, or prac-
tically 20 per cent over the value Of
the product OF 1898 Bituminous
production including semi-anthra-
cite, semi-bituminous, camel, block,
and Ignite Goals, shows an increase
of over 81 100000 short tons, and
gain of nearly $39, 600, 900 in value.
The production of Pennsylvania in
1898 was IS, 165, 1873 tons and in 1899
it was 1851, BOD Ohio increased
14,516,867 tons to 16,579,850 tons
and West Virginia from 6,700,999
tons to 1873, 222 tons.
The production Of pig iron in 1899
was Ii, 100000 long tons, against IL
733,934 long tons in 1898 The av-
erage price for pig iron in 1899 was
about SIS per ton, making the total
value about $246,600,000, against
SIG, 557 900 in 1898, when the aver
age price was less than $40 per tor.
This makes an increase OF $3.50, 900
600 and the increase OF SOL 5000
in the value of. the coal product
makes total increase OF $l8I ,000,-
600, which, without any increase In
the other mineral production, would
make the total value Of the mineral
products in 1899 about $3.50, 600, 900.

WILL READ.
Provisions OF The Will of The Late T..
II. Keck Made Known to the Heirs.

The will OF the late Philip II. Keck
was read on Tuesday afternoon at his
former home In West Morgantown
and 1t has been fled with the clerk OF
the county court for safe keeping. 1t
will not be probated for the present
and it will not be published on ac-
count Of a request to that effect from
Mr.. Keck.
The instrument is long one and Is
written by the testator in his own
hand. There were no witnesses
The provisions as given by this paper
were those contained in the docu-
fnent.
All the lands to the North OF the
Fairmont pike and three hundred dol
fars year are TO be given to Mrs.
Keck during her life and that portion
Of the estate lying to the South OF the
pike is to be held la trust for the
children Of l.. " Keck and julius
Keck for twenty years.
The executors named in the will
are Columbus Long and George W..
johnson. They have not yet decided
whether or not they will accept the
trust as they will be repaired under
the provisions OF the instrument to
guarantee six per cent. interest on the
money that may come into their
hands. The will was made several
years ago.

GOING ALL RIGHT.
Four Town Councils Agree for
Free Delivery.

Orders Passed at Last Nights Meetings.
Inspector Hooten Called away on
Business-W Return Tomorrow.
Four Carriers are Wanted Instead Of
Three.
Inspector Hooten has left for Har-
rison county where he was called TO
investigate case of postotfice rob
berry which took place there on Tues
day night. He will return to Nor
gantown tomorrow to finish his in
vestigation and decide on his final
action.
There is no doubt that his report
will be favorable and. no doubt that
we will be given free delivery Ev-
erything is in favor Of the plan and
there is apparently nothing TO pre-
vent its being carried out.
All of the town councils in the
four towns held meetings on We'd
nesday night and they all passed the
orders that were required. They will
at once name all the streets yet I'M
named and will prepare to number
the houses and put up the posts for
the accommodation of the boxes that
will have to 90 up.
A map OF the towns with all OF
their streets is being made to day by
City Engineer John Samsel and FL
mer f. Jacobs This will be shown
to Mr. Hooten when he returns here
STANCE to say there was no map Of
this kind in existence up to this
time
The effort is being made to get
four carriers instead of three to start
Oh. The territory to be covered by
the carriers is very large one and
three men would have hard time
of it getting over the ground. All
these circumstances are we'll known
to the Inspector and he will proba
bly, recommend it in his report.
The system cannot be introduced
until July first in any event as that
is the beginning of the next quarter
and no changes are ever made dur
ing any quarter. A report to the
effect that it might start in thirty
days is founded on ignorance of the
circumstances surrounding the case.

FINE PERFORMANCE.
Well at Commencement Hall
Last Night.

The Bethany boys made very fine
impression on large audience last
night at Commencement Hall. Their
jokes and songs were new. The res d.
er with them was one of the best ever
heard here. Nearly all of the num-
bers were encored. The audience
seemed never to tire Of the perform
ance. Bethany was equally pleased
with the audience and thanked those
present for their appreciation.
All of the numbers were good.
The versatile baby was enjoyed very
much. Few entertainments have
been as well rendered and certainly
none have been so well received as
this one was. Four hundred people
were in attendance. The club left
this morning for Connellsville where
they hold forth tonight.

THE ATTEMPT
To Rob a Bank at Moundssille Was
Unsuccessful.

WHEELING, W Va. April 26.--The
Farmers and Mechanics Bank, at
Moundsville, was entered few min
utes before 3 o'clock yesterday
morning Two men entered by a
window facing Third street and one
stood guard outside. After drilling
for awhile they knocked oil the knob
of the combination lock and the
noise awakened Mr. A. +. keyser,
who lives in the second floor of the
bank building. Mr. keyser, with a
revolver in his hand. raised front
window, thinking the robbers would
leave by the front door.
The man on guard began shooting
in the direction of Mr. keyser, but
shelterlng himself around the cor
ner, the latter could not get fair
shot at him. There were number
of shots fired, and the fellows inside
then rushed out and the three ran
down Third street towards the river.
The shooting brought out a mum
Der Of people. Marshal Miller, with
some prison people, got the blood
hounds and with little aid from
the dogs, tracked the men. There
were two small pairs of tracks and
one large one. They went through
fomlison's lane to the river and saw
skitf pulled upon the opposite
shore, near the government light
No effort was made to 90 farther
Tools from John Noller's black
smith shop were found by the vault
in the bank Nothing was taken
from the bank except revolver,
which was thrown away few feet
outside the window. The money
drawer with a few pennies in It, was
left on the floor
A convict who is lock expert,
worked en- the vault door about half
an hour and succeeded in breaking
it 50 that the door could be opened.

MAY COME BACK.
Contractor Mcdonald Says
That He Will Finish.
States That He Has Not Abandoned
Contract on Local River Bat That
Press of other Business Has Kept
Him Away Major Powell Thought
That He Had 0nit--Oueer Actions.

Another turn has come in the Nc
Donald contract case that is exciting
some interest here, The following
telegram from pittsburg explains
the latest development in it:
9. l. Mcdonald, of Plttsburg, who
has the contract TO build two large
dams and locks in the Monongahela
river near Morgantown, and who has
not done any work on the job since
last fall, has notified Maj. Charles +.
Powell, in charge Of navigation on
the river, that he expects to resume
work at once. 1t had been reported
that Mr.. Mcdonald had abandoned
work altogether and would forfeit
his bond. Mr.. Mcdonald, however,
denies that he had any such inten-
ton He said he quit last fall,
because of the bad weather, and that
this spring he had 700 much other
work on hand to start in on the JOB
any earlier. He is engaged in erect
ing large water works for 2 coke COM
pany in Fayette county. His work
for the government is not half COM
DlCUCu. ollC lpIR 10 lAiouCu,
dam nearly so. On the other dam
only cofferdam has been built and
some excavating done. He still has
a years time in which to do the work.
But Mr.. Mcdonald does not ex-
plain why he hasn't been here six
weeks ago and why he has failed TO
answer any of the notifications that
have been sent him by the engineer
in charge, Major Powell.
The latter stated when he was here
a few days ago to this paper that he
was of the opinion that the contract
would be abandoned and that the
bond of the contractor would be
forfeited. He told us why he
thought so and the reasons seemed
very plausible.
1t is to be hoped however that Mr..
Mcdonald will come back and will
get down to work on the improve
ments in order that they may be
finished up on schedule time. People
are getting very tired Of the delays
