TO UNIONTOWN.
West Virginia State Mine In
spector on His Way.

j. w. Paul is Going Down to Attend
the inquiry into the Mine Horror
Asked about West Virginia Reports
Delayed by Others He had Them
Ready to Issue Long ago.
Mr.. j. w Paul, the state mine in
spector of West Virginia was seen
on the afternoon train on Thursday
by a representative Of this paper.
He stated that be was on his way to
Uniontown to- attend the inquest Of
the Braznell mine horror that is be
ing held there under the direction of
the mine inspector OF Pennsylvania.
There is much to be learned from
this terrible accident that will be Of
profit to the miners of this state and
Mr.. Paul wants to give them the adj
vantage of everything possible In
that line. He was asked about bis
report which was recently issued
There was some complaint over
the state and notably from the Fair
mont Free Press about this report
not being issued when it was valua-
BILE but it was delayed and not sent
out until it was six months old.
Mr.. Paul smiled at this and stated
that he was very glad that reference
had been made to the delay by the
papers They are the people to
have it corrected. / am as much in
terested in it as they are and tried
as hard as possible to get it issued
when it should have been But there
was no money available for this pur
pose and it had to be DELAYED until
the money was at hand"
The papers of the state do not
know this and they can remedy it by
making protest all along the line.
If those who are responsible for this
are wakened up as they should be
over the matter they will be ready
next time and the reports will be
out when they are fresh and of real
value to everyone.
The inquiry that is going on at
Uniontown will be on for some time
yet. 1t is stated that some very SEN
sational testimony will come out and
those who are responsible for the
terrible accident at the Braznell
mines will probably be located If
the blame can be certainly fixed
they should be given the extreme
penalty of the law. Our readers can
expect to find accounts of this in
quiry from day to day in our tele-
graphic columns. EVERYTHING of in
terest both at home and abroad is
given by this paper every day in the
week and if all the news all the time
is wanted the people will have to get
this paper.

SAD ENDING.
Practical Joke May Cost Young man
His Life.

CoNNELLsvILLE, Pa, Jan. s.
Frank Lenhart of Harmony, West
moreland county, while visiting at the
residence of his friend William Full
mer at East Liberty, was concerned
in practical Joke last night which
may cost him his life. A young wom-
an is the guest of William Fulmer,
who lives on the East Liberty hill.
Last night Frank Lenhart, Jesse
Fulmer and John Shannon called at
the house, and to play Joke upon the
young woman, the young men dressed
up dummy and put it in the visitors
bed.
At 1870 O'Clock the men left the
house but soon after returned to learn
the result of their little joke. They
tried the door Of the Fulmer house
thinking it still unlocked. it was
locked and Fulmer heard the efforts
stealthy and slow. He procured re-
volver and awaited results thinking
burglar was at work. He asked who
was on the outside but the Young
men remained quiet. AT this juno
tare Lenhart started around the
house. AS he passed the window
Fulmer fired two shots one taking eff
feet in Lenhart's spine.
The wounded man was carried into
the house and medical aid summoned.
DR.. Bell pronounced the wounds NOR
tai. Lenhart is flagman on the
Baltimore and Ohio. The Fuimers
and Lenharts were on the most init
mate terms and the sad accident has
distracted both families.

GOING SLOWLY.
Work In OIL Fields Is Not at NIL Brisk
Just nou-Recent strikes.

Field Developments in oil continue
to drag along, the work being OF a
routine order rather than new and
important discoveries. 1t will re
quire still further time To determine
the status OF the territory surround
ing few new strikes. At best they
can arouse but little interest in the
trade, for the reason that outlaying
territory has been tied up for miles
in every direction. Greene county
has several new attractions, one near
Blacksville and the other near the
State line on the Hutchinson farm.
The former is deep sand and the
latter Big Injun sand territory BE
tween the Lentz well, near Blacks
vile, and the ortheast extension of
the Campbells run development In
Monongalia county, the South Penn
Oil Company has completed its test
well on the w. J. Wiley farm, and
has 50-barrel producer from the
Campbells run sand. Judging from
the location and showing made by
this well it looks as though the two
developments should connect up
with line of producers.
Just across the line in Greene
county the same company has com
pleted test well on the j. /. Porter
farm, and got a gasser instead of an
oil producer.

met here in annual session with a
representative attendance from all
parts of the State. Oscar A. Camp
bell, of Morgantown, was made sec
rotary, owing to the absence OF Sec.
rotary T. Nj. Garvin. The meeting

Association on securing an act by
the Legislature raising the standard
Of admission To the bar, and urged
the association to take some positive
and vigorous action toward eiimina
ting members of the bar who. on ac-
count Of their character and prae-
tees, ought 30 have no place in she
profession. He also commented on the
State Supreme Court practice in the
matter of oral arguments, and con
demned the practices of some Cir
cult Court judges for the inconsider-
ate and hasty manner in which they
granted injunctions and appointed
receivers.
The committee on legal education
made an interesting report, which
was the subjest of discussion. 1t
recommended that the State Sn-
preme Court issue rule making the
law regulating admissions to the bar
apply to those who obtain license in
other States with the intention Of
practicing in this State, and it was
adopted.
The committee on judicial admin
istration and legal reform made a
report favoring changes in several of
the State laws and practices of the
State Court.

A Good Order.

Several of the leading railroads
have issued orders to the effect that
cigarette smoking must be discon-
tinued among the employees. The
order further states that hereafter
no person will be employed in the
future who smokes cigarettes. This
is certainly splendid order and it
is believed that all railroads will fol
low suit, for it would mean consld-
cradle. The railroads have strict
rules regarding the drink habit and
it is no more than what is to be
expected in issuing an order of this
nature.

city papers:
Maj. Powell, the engineer officer in
charge Of river and harhor improve
ments on the Monongahela, in COM
munication submitted to Congress
to-day, states that there has been con-
siderable deterioration in the locks
and dams on the slack water improve
ment of the river, especially those
purchased from the Monongahela
Navigation company. These are to
be gradually improved and the funds
necessary are available from former
appropriations. He says that lock
and dam No. / is in very bad shape
and an expenditure Of $4,000 would
have to be made to put it in proper
condition. With this exception, funds
are available for the improvement Of
all the locks and dams on the river.
Maj. Bixby states that there is an
available fund of 5000, 600 for the
maintenance OF the locks and dams
between Cairo and Pittsburg, but
that no Improvements are Immediate
ly necessary.
There is very evident mistake in
it. The lock and dam referred to Is
not at number III which has not start
ed yet but it evidently refers TO lock
and dam at number 2 which has been
in very bad shape and which has
threatened to break down at any time.
This dam has been the source of con-
slant apprehension on the part of the
engineers in charge Of the river and
the work Of fixing it up will have to
be done quickly or a new lock and
dam built with suspension of navi-
