PARKERsBURGERs AFTER WALDO.
Hotel Man Says they Have Assurances
that They Will Get II.

A prominent hotel manager, OF this
state, in speaking Of hotels to the
Parkersburg State Journal is reported
as talking after the following fashion:
Speaking of hotels, Clarksburg is
one OF the best hotel towns in the
state, and when the new building
there that is being erected by Judge
Goff, is completed it will be splendid
opportunity for some good hotel man
to make a barrel Of money. The hotel
will be known as the Waldo, and will
be furnished complete for the person
who rents IT. Some Parkersburg
people, who are experienced in all the
details Of the hotel business, and have
their eyes on this property and will
try to land 1t. In fact, think, Park
ersburg people now have assurances
that viii eventually place them in
charge OF the new hotel"

Unions Of the City. With
Old GLORY and Banners
Floating tOths Breeze.
Dsbs Makes A Big Speech.
Opera House Well Filled to Hear
Wilson and Court House
Crowded at Night to Lis
ten to Debs, Whose
Speech was Pleasing.

The labor demonstration held here
Monday was very satisfactory to those
who participated and quite success.
A large crowd lined the streets and
applauded all along the line Of parade,
and good.slzed crowd listened to the
speech Of w, b Wilson, national sec
rotary Of the United Mine Workers,
in the opera house in the afternoon,
and the court house was crowded when
Eugine V. Debs, the great labor lead
er, spoke at night.
The parade started at the Glep Elk
hotel shortly after o'clock. The
line OF march was Baltimore street,
thence down North Fourth, thence up
Hewes, south on South Third to Pike,
east on pike to Oak, across Oak to
Main, thence west on Main TO Harris
machine shops and on the return east
on Pike TO Fourth, thence to Main aud
thence to the opera House. Between
800 and 400 persons were in the parade
representing the carpenters, cigar
makers, printers, painters and paper
hangers, BARRIERS, Lafayette Glass
Works, bar tenders, coal miners, hod
carrlere, plumbers and one or two
other unions. The columns bore their
respective banners, flags, and floats,
and made very credltable appearance.
The police and mayor acted as escort.
! After the parade Mr.. Wilson was
introduced In the opera house by
Mayor Kelley and made q lengthy
speech on the labor question, COM
handing respectful attention.
Mr.. Dehs was announced TO speak in
the afternoon but arrived too late and
it was arranged for him to speak at
night. His audience was large and
gave him marked attention, BE con-
fined himself to a discussion Of the
labor question and economic condi-
lions, reviewing the history OF labor
and capital and advising organization.
He advanced the idea that the trusts
could not be destroyed and suggested
that the people take possession Of
them as the only remedy and solution.
His speech contained considerable
socialism, such as he has advocated
the past several years. He suggested
that machinery had made this day
Of cooperation and not one of compe-
tition as it was fifty years ago. He
argued that this destroyed opportunity
and labor could only meet the situa-
tion by organization, which be declar-
ed was cooperation,
The demonstration was under the
auspices Of the Trades Council Of the
city.

Not Such a NimrOd After All.

Considerable commotion was caused
In the Traders hotel lobby Sunday
night by the repeated firing Of pistol
by Joe Hart, the porter. He came
here from Baltimore some weeks ago
and first had position at the Hub
restaurant. Recently he was engaged
as porter at the Traders. Guests were
discussing the recent highway rObber-
les Sunday night and Hart made the
boast that they knew his record,
which was anything but enviable, and,
therefore they would not modest him.
Some one suggested that he was no
good with gun and bantered him to
shlot at the electric lights. He re-
sponded to the challenge by shooting
upward three times, the balls enter
ing the ceiling. 1t is needless to say
he lost his job in a jifIy, Hart is half
witted and that alone excused him
from prosecution.

Jason NJ. Kester spent Monday night
in the town lookup at Salem as the
towns prisoner. Monday evening as
special constable and armed with
warrant sworn out by the prosecuting
attorney he went out there to arrest
the proprietor of gaming house. He
had already arrested that morning
James Laborodeire in the place and
brought him here to give bond on the
charge of conducting speakeasy. In
the rear OF the same place was
gambling Joint, whose proprietor his
intention it was to arrest.
hester had the key of the place and
unlocked it. The warrant was served
and about that time VIII Kelch, who
was wanted on an old warrant, came
in through rear door. Kester spotted
him and placed him under arrest, put
ting handouts on him. But later
these were taken on, the prisoner
promising to be good. Laborodeire
was elected from the building. Later
he came back and demanded entrance
that he might have the warrant read
to him, but Kester refused to let him
In and told him to leave. He persist.
ed in his attempts to forcean entrance
and Kester drew his gun with threat.
Laboroleire Immediately had war
rant sworn out and police officers ar.
rested Kester and put him In the lock
up about O'Clock where he remained
an night. During the night, he says,
lie was treated to several showers OF
water squirted upon him from the out

gambling house.
Next morning he was taken before
the mayor and fined $50 for carrying
the gun and $40 for carrying steel
knuckles found upon him atthe time

fnes and appealed the case to the cir
cult court. He gave the proper bond

Kester came home Wednesday morn
ing but returned in the evening to

diere charging him with blackmail.

nation before Squire James Bumgard-
ner and gave bond of 81, 900 to answer

Wednesday afternoon the sheriff
and several deputies went to Salem
and arrested Chief of Police P. j.
Randolph, Policeman John Pitts and
! John W. Carpenter upon warrants

WeIl-Known Printer left here night
Of October s and has not been
seen or heard Of since, Ex-
cept for a Little While
at Grafton.
Absence Arousss Suspicion
Number Of Debts left Behind Co
Religious workers trustedhin.
Was active inchurch work
Asocisty man in a
measure.

Harry F. Lloyd, Of the County Mail,
has not been seen here :since Sunday
evening. October 9th, and the ctrcum'
stances surrounding his disappearance
convince his old time friends that he
will not be back to greet them. The
day OF his departure he informed
friends that he expected to receive
telegram calling him to the bedside OF
his son near Philadelphia. That night
Clarksburg acQuaintances ran across
him at Grafton and they say he told
them he was there in quest of print
er, and that he would return home
that night, but he did not, and 1t is
understood he did not receive that ex-
pected telegra II. He was one OF the
lessees Of the County Mail and 1t ap.
pears that hls.partner was notapprised
of his intentions and knew absolutely
nothing OF his absence until next
morning, when he failed to appear at
his post of duty. He evidently left
here on the 9:44 train that night and
stopped at Grafton. What happened
to him there or whittier he went no
one knows, as no word has been receiv-
ed from him. 1t is stated that he left
some obligations behind, amounting
to few hundred dollars in borrowed
money, which he obtained from his
friends.
Lloyd came here two years and a
half ago as a tourist printer and was
given work in the County Mail office.
He at once affiliated himself with the
church and became Sunday school su.
perIntendent at the West End, also
vice-president Of the Epworth League
and member of the official board Of
the church which he Joined. He was
alsoa director in the Y. M. c. A. re-
Gently organized. Among the craft
he was known as the society printer"
and the term was strengthened by the
fact that his name appeared in the
society columns Of the County Mail,
but we have not learned fully whether
he entered society realm beyond that
or not. He Joined the Odd Fellows
lodge here six months or more ago and
was vice-grand, which entitled him to
be noble grand at the next annual
election,
Those from whom he borrowed and
has not paid back as yet are his Sunday
school teachers his associates, mem
bers Of the church to which he be-
longed and his brother Odd Fellows. A
prominent clother claims that Lloyd
owes him for a suit OF clothes, pur-
chased the day he lett and that he tried
to get the clothler to endorse note of
500 for him that day.
Fortunately, for his partner in the
paper, the condition of affairs is not
such as to hurtor or hamper the bust
ness of the office, although, it is stat
ed, there will be considerable loss to
his partner, should Lloyd fail to re-
turn.
Some believe he has been foully
dealt with, as Misconduct here was re-
garded above reproach, but others are
of the firm opinion that to expect
his return is to look in vain.
