One to be transported among the
most romantic Southern scenes has
only to see the production of "a
Romance OF Coon Hollow which
will hold the stage at the Opera
House, Monday, Dec. 3. Here mir
rored by nature in beauty and
quaintness, are given pictures of life
in old Tennessee. 1t is a story of
love and jealousy, told in a graceful
way, and given realism by stage eff
fects that are reflections of every
day life in the South, Among the
scenes are plantation cotton press
in operation, and moonlight reve.
lation of the famous glen Coon Hol
low, with electric and lime light eff
fects, in which the iirebugs fit
through the trees and the night
birds sing among the branches. An
other, a night view, depicts the his
toric boat race between the Missis-
sippi River steamboats,, Robert f..
Lee and Natchez, brilliantly lighted
and under full steam. On the levee
bevy of darkey boys and girls
troop down &c see the vessels pass,
and indulge while waiting in jubilee
singing and buck and wing dancing.
A well selected company will appear
in the production, now in its seventh
season.

MISS STUCKEY IMPROVING.
1t is Thought That She will Recover
Is a Very Brave Little Lady.

A special dispatch from Richmond
to the Baltimore Sun says:
1.-THE condition of Miss Bessie L.
Stuckey, the pretty trained nurse who
was shot last night by G. L, William
son, the medical student is favorable
today. The young lady is at the
Virginia hospital, where the sensa-
tional shooting occurred. Surgeons
have probed for the balls and the pa
TENTS condition is considered good.
Williamson was before the Police
court this morning. AS the young
lady's condition did not admit of her
appearing as witness, the case was
continued until December 6. Will
Hanson it is said, was almost border
ing on delirium tremens last night
when he fred the two shots at the
young lady who had rejected his suit.
He still bore evidences of his spree
when he appeared in the Police court
this morning. Miss Stuckey is as
plucky as she is pretty, and during all
of the exciting scene at the hospital
last night was perfectly calm

The Irl r. Hicks 1901 Almanac.

Whatever may be said of the scien.
tific causes upon which the Rev. Fri
r. Hicks bases his yearly forecasts
of storm and weather, it is remark
able fact that specific warnings OF
every great storm, flood, cold wave
and drouth, have been plainly print
ed in his now famous Almanac for
many Years. The latest startling
proofof this fact was the destruc-
tion Of Galveston, Texas, on the very
day named by Prof Hicks in his
1900 Almanac. as one of disaster by
storm along the gulf coasts. The
1901 Almanac, by far the finest,
most complete and beautiful yet
published, is now ready. This re-

COAL MEN
Asse mble at Fairmont TO Fur
Their a Giant Combine.


Region Hampered because OF Lack OF
Shipping Facilities Preparations to
Meet the Enormous Demand that will
Come In the Future.
FAIRMoNT, w. Va, Nov. 30-Some
weeks ago the announcement was
scattered abroad that the FairmonS
coal operators had formed a pool or
the entire mining section. The mat
ter was allowed to quietly settle down
and nothing more was heard of the
proposed deal until last night, at
which time the smoldering fire was
reSindled and permanent plans were
laid for The future welfare OF the or
ganl2atlon. Quite number OF great
coal magnates from the far west, as
well as a few largely interested coal
dealers from the eastern metropolis.
We're here at the meeting held Friday
night.
IL has become we'll known fact
that the coal barons OF the world
must TO large extent look to the
Fairmont region for their supply OF
coal and coke in the coming future.
This being the case 1t is no wonder
that such a determined effort has
been made for the hurried shipment
OF coal to the seaboard and other great
shipping centers. The output OF coal
at present amounts to only about 500
cars per day. While the output Is
small now compared to what it was
some months ago, it Is no failure on
the part OF the operators for the de-
mand has been good but the small
supply OF cars by the railroad company
Is where the trouble belongs and ii d
more rapid system OF transportation
IS not inaugurated by the railroad
company the operators may expect To
be greatly hampered for the want Of
empty ears. Those who are associa-
ted with this coal pool are aiming at
several things, tlrst OF all d more uni

The inclemency OF the weather at
present is retarding the work In the
new sections as their supplies must be
delivered by overland routes. The

now building will put an eud to this
delay and also give the operators all

The Revival Services.

On Wednesday night and Thursday
night large audiences filled the audi
forum of the Methodist Episcopal
church. Rev. f. w. Gee preached
with power and success on both occa-
sions. On Wednesday night one lady
professed conversion at the altar. To-
night he delivers his farewell sermon
at Morgantown. Tomorrow morning
he returns to Indiana. No evangelist
has ever visited the city whose SER
mons have been so deeply impressive
and spiritual, and SO free from sensa-
tionalism. Instead OF criticizing his
simple, earnest and clear expositions
and appeals, the entire congregation
commend his gentle words, Affection
ate bearing and modest methods.
The church will doubtless be packed
at to-night's services.

Hot Stun.

All over the town can be found
gambling dens, assignation houses
and other vile resorts running In open
violation of the law where great
number OF men frequent both night
and day congregating in large crowds
To close these vile and unlawful
joints which are sore disgrace to the
town, would be an act upon the part
Of our town and county officials too
decent to be associated with their past
foul political records, to close the
shoots and churches for time, these
avaricious officers OF the law will lose
nothing, but to clcssss unlawful joints
it might put black-eye on the ssrake
off system. "-Clarksburg News.

RECRUITING FOR THE ARMY.
Thirty three Thousand Men will BE
Needed When the New Law gees into
Effect.

In view of the probable call upon
the War department to make sudden
increase ia the enlisted strength OF
the army after the present volunteer
forces shall have been discharged.
it is interesting TO see what may be
done by the recruiting offices toward
building up the new regiments when
the number and strength of these
shall be determined by the army re
organizing bill For several months
past the chief trouble has been to
keep from over-reeruiting the regu
lar regiments now in the service,
and the recruiting officers have been
able to choose men Of very high
standard of excellence owing TO the
large number of applicants. The
department counts on the re-enlist-
ment OF large number OF men whose
term OF service will expire on June
80, 1901. II the army reorganiza-
ton bill shall provide for perma
nent force of 10000 men or over,
there will be $4,000 men to enlist
between the date of the passage of
the bill and the discharge of the
present volunteers on June 30th.

CAMPAIGN FUNDS
Senator Clark sTestifies Before
the Senatorial Investigation
Committee.
Says He Contributed $1O5, 600
Toward Campaign Expenses
in Montana,
But Nothing to Secure Legislar
tive VOtes--.KneW of No
Bribery.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Before the
senate committee began the work OF the
day in the Clark Investigation the word
went around that Senator Clark himself
was to take the stand. The senator
was not present, however, when the
committee was called to order, and JUS
tice Piggott of the Montana supreme
court was recalled to make some addi-
tions to his testimony. He said, among
other things, that he and Justice Hunt
had consulted as to the wisdom of a
criminal proceeding against DR.. Tracey
on account of his advances toward Mr..
Hunt, in connection with the Well
come disbarment case. He said their
consultation had been more matter Of
speculation than anything else, and
that both seemed to concur that the sit
uation did not call for such action, as
they thought DR.. Tracey was more sin
ned against than SHINING.
Clarks Campaign Contributions.
Justice Brantley also testified briefly,
and then Mr.. Clark, having entered the
| committee room, was called.
In reply to a question regarding the
campaign in Montana, Senator Clark
said he had, at the preliminary meeting
with his friends in Helena, agreed to
enter the campaign to wrest the power
from DAILY, but not with the understand
ing that he would be senatorial can
didate. That conclusion had come later.
He said that all told he had spent
about $1O5, 900 in the campaign. There
were four different contributions; pre-
liminary one Of $4,000; then $4,000;
then SAC, 200 and then $4,000. He de-
MED explicitly all the statements made
by Whiteside, Mark Hewitt and others,
connecting him with corrupt methods
in securing his election to the senate,
saying that so far as he knew, no money
had been used corruptly in his behalf.
He said he might have written the letter
testified to by Justice Brantley, but that
he could not remember
No Money for Legislative Votes.
''Did you ever" asked Mr.. Faulkner,
'sdirectly Or indirectly, make any money
or other voluntary contributions to se-
cure the vote of any member of the leg
islature for you for United States SEN
ator?''
"No sir, I never did," responded the
witness, holding himself erect and look
ing directly at his interrogation.
''Do you know, of your own personal
knowledge, of any money being used to
corruptly influence votes in your be-
half:?'' was the next question.
To this the senator replied: 'sI do
not. There were plenty Of rumors about
the expenditure of money but I have no
personal knowledge Of anything of that
kind being done''

Negro Soldiers From Fort Bliss,
Armed With Krag. Jor-
gensens,
Attempted to Rescue Comrades
From the Ell PasO Police
Station.
One Soldier and One Policeman
Killed---Another Negro
Wounded.

Ell PAso, Tex, Feb. 19.-At o'clock
a. NJ, mob Of negro soldiers from Fort
Bliss attacked the city police station,
with the object of releasing two of their
comrades who had been arrested.
During fight, Police Officer Newt
Stewart and one negro soldier were
killed, and it is believed that another Of
the soldiers is wounded.
Friday afternoon the police locked up
a corporal from the fort for being drunk
and threatening to chase the police force
out Of the city, and Friday night an
other drunken soldier was arrested.
Comrades Of the prisoners took the news
to the post. A rescue party, armed
with Krag-J Jorgensons, was organized
and just before daylight, descent was
made on the city.
A few minutes before o'clock two
Of the soldiers, rifles in hand, entered
the police station and demanded of
Officer Stewart, the only man on duty,
the surrender Of their comrades. Stew
art ordered the men out of the station
and they opened fire on him. Jailor
Richard Blacker, who sleeps in room
adjoining the station Office, aroused by
the shots, sprang out of bed, grabbed
his pistol and started into the Office. AS
soon as he appeared in the doorway one
of the soldiers opened fire on him.
Blacker dropped to his knees and at his
first shot, the negro staggered and ran
out, closely followed by his companion.
and the entire squad left on a run.
About 20 shots in all were fired. Stew
art was shot twice through the lungs
and died at o'clock. A trail of blood
leading from the station was followed,
and half block away the dead body of
negro shot through the breast was
found. The dead man clutched his gun
in his hands. Another rifle and traces
Of blood were also found which indi-
Gates that another Of the negroes was
wounded.
Officers Blacker and Scott, pursued
the fleeing soldiers, but were unable to
make any arrests.
The company stationed at Fort Bliss
is Company E, Twenty fifth infantry
Posses are out looking for the maraud-
ers, though at the post it is claimed that
the only missing soldiers are the dead
man and the two prisoners in the police
station
