Old ArkanSaW.

One Of the largest and most pre-
tentious attractions which manager
Swisher has booked for the opera
house this season, is the wonderfully
successful melodrama, "Old Arkan-
saw" the latest from the prolific pen
of Fred Raymond. This authors
name attached to play is enough to
insure frstclass vehicle for the
artists to display their talents to ad
vantage. The piece is melodramatic
with liberal sprinkling of comedy.
Mr.. Raymond's characters are always
pleasing and generally differ from
those usually seen on the stage. In
"Old Arkansaw" he has taken most
Of his characters from life, having
spent the greater part Of one summer
In the Ozark mountains for no other
purpose than to perfect his knowledge
of the ways, actions and dialects Of
the backwoods people Of Arkansas.
The result is a number of true to life
personages. who, with their quaint,
odd ways, are worked into plot that
proves most interesting. 1t would be
difficult matter to secure company
Of players who average better than
those in the cast. Each one was Scr
lected without regard to salary for
the role they were to portray and a
smoother performance could not be
imagined. In scenic embellishments,
"Old Arkansawn stands without
rival, small fortune having been
spent in giving the play its magnifi-
cent mounting. Great pains is taken
to bring out every little detail and
nothing is left undone which could
add to the perfection of the perform
ance. This attraction is booked to
appear at the Opera House, Monday
Nov. Is.

1t is a strange coincidence that a

visiting the Philippines, inNblding
United States senators and represents
atives, has tried to return 70 the

OF these vessels.
They will hardly get back in time
now for the opening Of congress. The

Brings Ten Thousand DOllars-$4.-
500 pledged without Solicitation by
Five People-Plan Perfect Success.

Twenty thousand dollars in cash
has been secured by the Methodist
Episcopal church for their church
and parsonage. This is the amount
which they estimated that they
would receive. The sales took place
on Saturday morning.
DR.. Leech sold the parsonage to
Mrs. Elizabeth Warren, of Wheel
ing, who formerly lived here. She
expects to make Morgantown her
future home and wanted to get into
the section of town in which the
parsonage IS located.
She asked the price and on being
told $4,000 paid over enough to
bind the bargain and drew up an
agreement to that effect. Possession
is to be given November 1902 unless
the new parsonage shall be ready
for occupancy before that time.
DR.. l. G. White bought the church
property paying $4,000 for it. Hon.
George G Sturgiss made this sale.
POSSESSION Is 10 DE given Wnen tne
new church is ready to be used.
These sales will be laid before the
court for approval.
Steps will be taken to begin i'm
mediately to work on the new build
ings. The contracts will be let with
in the next few weeks and work will
be pushed as rapidly as possible.
Messrs. A. C. Oliver, George G..
Baker, George c. Sturgiss and Miss
Lille Hagans have promised 81, 900
each and j. NJ. Wood has pledged
$500 on the new church without So
licitation.
Much more can readily be raised

AKRON FIGHTER QUIT.
Gave Up In Fifth Round-Complained
of Injury and Had Protested
Against Low Hitting.

San Francisco, Nov. 16.--In an I'M
satisfactory prize fight James ]. JEFF
fries proved the victor last night over
Gus Rubin, the Akron giant In the
fifth round of what was to have been
a 20-round struggle Rubin wilted AMI
then surrendered to his peer to the
utter amazement and disgust of the
assembled thousands. No one was
more surprised at the outcome than
Jeffries himself, who asserted that
while he had delivered one telling
blow in the second round, he did not
expect to win the victory SO easily.
Ruhlin's sole explanation Of the out
come Of the fight is that he received
chance blow, which utterly disabled
him, and that Jeffries persisted in
fighting him low.
While Rubin will make no abso.
lutte charge Of Jeffries having commit
ted a foul, he intimates that he was
unfairly handled and injured as a re-
suit. Rubin receives the support of
his seconds in his stand, who say that
his was a hopeless case after the sec
ond round At different times curing
the fight Rubin made protests for
Jeffries hitting low
When seen in his dressing room af-
ter the fight Champion Jeffries said:
II was certainly surprised at my
easy victory and Ruhlin's amazing de.
feat. While it is true that he did not
punch me hard enough during the FIVE
rounds to cause me any alarm, I be-
lieved him strong and cautious up to
the moment of his collapse, and was
surprised when he quit. certainly
had no trouble in whipping him and
had the fight gone on the result must
have been the same Rubin was in
accurate and in poor wind, and can
not say that he even had the courage
and force that / expected to encoun-
ter in him. Rubin took a stiff punch
in the stomach in the fourth round,
which ! presume gave him trouble.
nevertheless | expected him to lose
harder than he did. Rubin Ct n doubt
less best explain his own position, and
as for myself / am willing to meet
Sharkey next month and thereafter
to defend as best / can the title
hold
Before the fight commenced the
winner was challenged for Sharkey.

CARLOW BUILDING
Has Reached Fourth Story and Will
Soon be Ready for Roof = II. L.
Swisher Rents one Of the First Floor
Store Rooms.

The Carlow building is up past the
fourth floor and will soon be ready for
the roof. Mr.. Carlow states that he
cannot predict when it will be ready
for occupancy till he gets it under
roof. Then he will be independent OF
bad weather, and can tell about tGa
long it will require to complete it.
He says it will be after the holidays
before they can make safe guess.
Work is progressing very satisfactor-
lily even with the bad weather OF the
past week.
The first floor will be used for store
rooms, one on each side the stairway.
Both of these are rented already.
Howard L. Swisher gets one of them
for the Acme Book Store. The name
of the other party renting has not
been made public. All the other
three floors will be converted into fats
for the use of families. There will
be eight rooms on each floor, four on
each side of the hall and stairway,
The entire building is s. by 393 feet,
SO it will readily be seen that this ar.
rangment will make large commodious
rooms.
A beautiful view of the whole town,
and of the Cheat mountains can be
had from the third floor, which is far
above all the surrounding buildings.
The store front makes very neat and
handsome appearance. The location
will make the building always in de-
mand for store rooms.

INCREASE IS THE KEYNOTE,
OF Longs Report-He Recommends
More Ships and More
Men,

Washington, Nov 16.-The keynote
of the annual report of Secretary
Long for 1901 is increase in
crease in both the number Of ships
and the number of officers and sailors
for the navy. The navy today, he
says, SIS a far greater factor in our
relations with the world than it was
before the recent national expansion,
which now includes Porto Rico, the
Hawaiian islands, the vast area OF
land and sea in the Philippines and
our obligations to Cuba. If we are to
have a navy at all it must be COM
mensurate with these great extensions
greater in international even than
In territorial Importance"
The secretary's recommendation for
new construction, based on the report
of the general board, headed by Adj
miral Dewey and that of the board Of
construction, is as follows:
Three first-class battleships.
Two frst-class armored cruisers.
Three gunboats, each about 1000
tons trial displacement.
Three gunboats, each about zoo
tons trial displacement for insular
service.
Three picket boats each of about
$50 tons trial displacement.
Three steel sailing training ships,
each of about 1000 tons trial displace-
ment.
One collier Of about $1,000 tons trial
displacement
Four tug boats.
The secretary places emphasis on
the necessity for moro line officers
and more enlisted men.
Another pressing need set out in
the secretary's report is that for a
national naval reserve, which was so
strongly advocated by President
Roosevelt when he was assistant sec
rotary of the navy.

BIG SUIT BROUGHT.
Pittsburg Plate Glass Company
sues Point Marion
Glass Operators for Thirty Thousand
Dollars-Breach Of Contract Is al
leged-Defendants well known In
Morgantown-Points in Controversy
hafMaan them

UNIoNTowN, Nov. 16.-The Pitts
burg Plate Glass Company, through
their attorney, Hon. Nathaniel Ew
ing, has entered suit against the
Jeanette Glass Company, Limited,
to recover $29, 5S442 because of the
defendants refusal to perform con-
tract entered into on or about Oct.
81, 1900.
This contract was in the form Of
proposition made by the plaintiff
to the defendant, and accepted in
writing thereon by J. J. Quertimont
and j. G. Mayer, both managers and
officers of the defendant company,
whose place of business is at. Point
Marion. Under this contract the
defendant agreed to sell and deliver
to the plaintiff 10000 boxes Of win
dow glass, divided as to single and
double strength, size, quality, etc,
the prices to be in accordance with
the manufacturers price list Of Jan
uary |, 1898, less certain discounts
mentioned. Shipments were made
to the amount of 4S,650 boxes, leav-
ing undelivered $50 boxes.
March II, 1901, the contract with
respect to prices to be paid was
modified orally. In May, 1901, the
defendant company suspended the
production Of glass until September
Is, although never released from
this contract. Frequent demands
were made that the contract be filled
during the interim, but now the de
PENDANTS allege that the contract
was Cancelled and they refuse to
make good the amount in dispute.
Under the agreement the plaintiff
would have been obliged to pay for
the II, $50 boxes not sent the sum of
$37, 64734 A statement is also filed
showing that the market price on
September Is of these IL, $50 boxes
would have been $66,675.S6. The
amount the plaintiffs seek to recover
is the difference between the con-
tract price and the market price of
these boxes at the date OF the
breach of contract, together with in
terest from that date.
The plaintiffs also seek to recover
about $500 for a car load of paper
furnished the defendants to be used
in packing the glass, but which was
never used. Both claims foot up
the sum which the plate glass com
pany sues for.

BAD MAN CAUGHT
Clarksburg Robber is Finally
Run to Earth.


Lieutenant Mark Mcdonald had Punc-
tured Him and This Led to His Cap
ture-PeopIe are Resting Easier
Since he was Incarcerated- Reign q
Terror Ended.
The bold highway robber, who nelu
up number Of citizens here The night
of October 9Th last, and Invested them
Of their money and valuables, seems.
to have been apprehended and is now
in jail awaiting the action OF the next
grand jury. After the lapse or
month clue was obtained ana the
arrest followed says the Clarksburg
News.
The morning after the robbery, on
his way home, Henry called at house
along the roadside In his barehead and
with blood trickling down bis left
arm. He asked the man OF the house
for bat, telling him that he had
gotten into fight at Clarksburg and
had been shot in the arm. He said
he lost his hat as the policemen were
in pursuit of him. Tt seems he did
not want his plight to be known and
attempted to intimidate the one from
whom he sought hat with the re-
mark, IF you ever tell this, Will
kill you"
Last Sunday the person at whose
home Henry stopped to get hat,
while out driving with an acqualn-
tance, told the latter about the incl
dent, and Tuesday, while in the city,
that acquaintance reported the mat
ter to the police, with the request
that his name be not disclosed. The
police then got NJ. It. Mcdonald, one
Of the parties who had been held up
and robbed, to swear out warrant
before Squire Nj. S. Riley for Henry's
arrest. At late hour Tuesday night
Constable I'll. Il. Davis accompanied
by ]. A. McCloud land Jerry Sees,
went to Boothsville, arrested Henry
at his home as he arose from his bed
Wednesday morning and brought him
here. He was put in jail until three
o'clock in the afternoon, when he was
taken before Riley for trial He
waived examination and the magis-
trate fixed his bond at $4,000. In.
default he was committed to jail.
Several parties were Id the coure
room and identified him, among whom
were nj. e. Mcdonald, Henry Coyne,
Harry Sharpless, Brooks Patton,
Harry Brooks and Frank Long. They
were positive ia their identification.
A foot-pad the night OF SO many
robberies here, held up Brooks Patton,
Frank Long and VIII Jackson at 1880
O'Clock in the West End and secured
ST.. from Jackson, 6 cents from Pat
ton and 55 cents from Long. At
1890 o'clock that night as Mcdonald
and Coyne were going home, fellow
held them up in the East End and
robbed Mcdonald of a $50 gold watch,
$40 gold ring and $3 in money. Nc
Donald went home, got gun and
started to run the robber down.
About 1880 o'clock bib ran across him
near the Hub restaurant and nnaes-
took to capture him. a scu1lle exIsyl
ed and Mcdonald discharged bis piSt8i'
ut the fellow, but he escaped. Henfy

HUNTERS HEAVILY FINED.
Two Prominent Connellsvflle
Men Pay Dearly for Fun.
It Took Nearly Forty Dollars Each to
SQUARE them with the Law-Arrested
at Jimtown Friday AfternOOn-Ope.
kiska People Let Men Escape-Over
Cheat VioIat0rs to Receive Attention.

Out of state hunters who have
been hunting in this county with,
out state license are going to have a
hard row to hoe from this time on.
There hasn't been single license
issued in the county yet it is well
known fact that many people have
been hunting in the borders OF the
county.
Friday afternoon case was re-
ported from Randall and in a couple
OF hours after the information was
received the men were in town and
had been given fines of $25 and costs
amounting to 1885 each for their
fun.
The information was phoned to
Prosecuting Attorney Goodwin who
swore out warrant tor their arrest.
Deputy Sheriff Core went down to
Randall where he found his men.
They were just ready to leave on the
afternoon train but were placed in
custody and brought to town.
At the hearing before Squire
Hayes they confessed to the charge
Of hunting without a license and
were fined twenty five and costs
each. This they paid. They left
for their homes this morning. They
were from Connellsville. The
men were B. III. Newcomer and an
other who refused to give his name.
Another party of Connellsville peo-
pie have been hunting at Opekiska
for some days. Their presence was
reported on Friday afternoon but
they had left that morning. ing.
The officers at Opekiska are not a
very vigilant set or they would have
had these men under arrest also.
Nothing has yet been done in re-
gard to the Over Cheat people but
it is probable that some of them will
be arrested shortly. In case people
are afraid to give information they
can avoid publicity by phoning or
writing Mr.. Goodwin and the war
rants will be sworn out by him.
Game law violators are ready to
wilt when they are captured and
salty doses will be given these ou,-
laws who have been terrorizing the
people along Cheat.
