WANT COAL LANDS.
Ohio Man Seeks Property in
Grant District.
Fonr Hundred Acres of Land is Claim
ed by Ohio Man-Lazzelle and Stew
art Looking up the Title-Increase
in Values Causes Old Titles to be In.
yestigated.


A recent visitor to Morgantown is
Jacob S. Lowery, of Cincinnati who
came here to look up title to tract
of real estate his father had once
owned in Grant District Monongalia
county. Edward Lowery the father
had once lived on 1000 to 5000
acres OF territory here which is now
very valuable by reason of the rich
coal seams underlying it. He NOV
ed to Ohio, and disposed of most of
his lands here, but the son thought
there were about 400 acres to which
he still had good title. When the
latter was here he employed Lazzelle
and Stewart to investigate the coun-
ty records. They find that the ell
der Lowery did own a large estate
here many years ago, but are of
opinion that on account OF the lib
eral construction put upon the atat-
tues by our courts in this state, it
will be very difficult for Mr.. Lowerv
to establish claim to any Of the
lands, even though it may have been
held by adverse possession, for If
there had been even a color OF title
when the land was first occupied by
present owner, and he has been re-
siding upon it uninterruptedly for
only ten years, it is very hard to ar
rest him for it by process of law.
However, Mr.. Lowery thinks his
title is good and has written to his
attorney to go ahead and try to es-
tablish his claim.
Several other cases of a similar
character have arisen since the lands
in the western part of the county
have become so valuable by reason
of the coal, oil and gas underlying
them. Most of the claimants seem
to reside in Ohio, which points to a
significant fact. Emigration to Ohio
has been common in the past as it
is at the present time. However
while agriculturists are going to
Ohio from here, manufacturers and
politicians are coming to West Vir-
ginia from Ohio, and further West,
and the balance of trade as to mum
bers and wealth, at least, is in our
favor.

FINE RECORD.
Monongalia's Delinquent List is the
Smallest In the State.

This county holds a record which
no other county in the state can
touch. This is in relation to the
land returned delinquent for taxes.
There are but five tracts in the coun-
ty which have taxes coming on
them. One of these is in Morgan,
one in Seneca, one in Grant, and two
in Union. The total amount OF tax
es and interest delinquent IS less
than $50 or to be exact is $29.66.
Very few people have failed to
pay their capitation tax and the de-
linquent list Of this county is be-
lieved to be the smallest Of any
county in the state. The showing
is one of which every citizen Of the
county has right to feel proud.

GRATIFYING SUCCESS
Is Attending Efforts to Relieve
Fire Sufferers.

The Sad Plight of Thomas People has
Evoked the Proper Response from our
People Supplies of Every Kind being
Received at Municipal Hall Money
Contributed.
Morgantown is rallying to the aid
of the Thomas fire sufferers as it
should. The Hum ane Society issued
a call on Saturday for contributions
and set this afternoon as the time
when they should be received. Mrs.
j. G. Frazer has been in charge of
the work and is at the Municipal
Hall where the various articles are
being taken.
A New DOMINION man dropped in
about 2 o'clock and found big piles
of everything that may be needed
during the cold weeks ahead when
the homeless and poverty stricken
people are recovering from their
great disaster. Mrs. Frazer stated
that she was very well pleased with
the way that people had rallied to
the call.
If they keep on until night at
the present rate we shall have an
immense amount of stuff on hands
to be sent off. This will be sent
either tonight or tomorrow morn
ing. A small amount of money has
been placed in my hands for the
stricken people but the banks are
looking after this part of it.
Several ladies were assisting in
asserting the clothing and other sup
plies which were of good quality and
will be OF real benefit to the sufferers
Every minute fresh supplies were
being brought in and the scene was
very busy one.
Inquiry at the banks revealed the
fact that not a great deal of money
had been deposited but it is expect
ed that there will be liberal re-
Spouse.
The people OF Thomas have lost
everything they had and the suffer
ing is great. The temperature there
now IS as low as it gets in Morgan
town in midwinter. The cause is
certainly deserving one and every
one should help them to the extent
of his ability.

Newport News, Va. July s.-James
Oconnell, president of the International
Association OF Machinists, arrived here
Sunday, and after addressing a meeting
of the strikers, had conference with w.
A. Post, general superintendent of the
Newport News Shpbuilding and Dry

the company would do to end the strike,
and Mr.. Post informed him that the COM
pany would make no concessions what
ever. MIR. O'Connen made no proposition,
but returned and reported the result of
the conference to the strikers, who voted
to stay out until their demands are
granted.
This afternoon Mr.. Post sent a letter to
e J. Mulcahy. president of the local lodge
of machinists. notifying him that any of
the men applying for work between date
of letter and z O'Clock Thursday morning
next would be re-employed. Those not
intending to return to work were nou-
fed that they must get their tools out of
the yard before Thursday. as their places
would be filled and their services would
be required no longer.
II is believed that the next three or four
days may be productive of developments,
though on the surface there is no change

Ube british Commission Uphoids Sir
Alfred Miners Celebrated Order
"a oG 199O'' with Regard to Concer-
sions Made by the south African
uenuI,Iic-United States Might
Adopt the Same Policy Toward
concessions Made by Spain In Cuba
and Porto Rico, of which the Brit
isb Arc the Largest Holders.
Washington, July S.-The position of the
prtish government relative to the vari-
o,s mining, railroad and other conces-
s,ors in the Transvaal. ds fully disclosed
in the blue book covering this subject,
which has just reached Washington. The
srbiect is of the very first importance to
of vast amounts already are on file in
these departments, based on telegraph
and railroad franchises granted by the
snanish government prior to the Spanish
American War. If these may be legally
vacated the effect of such a decision would
be far reaching and action of the British
government may establish a precedent.
The most important of the concessions
in our fnsular possessions and in Cuba
ara claimed by English corporations.
The issue was made last September
when Sir Alfred Miner, the British hign
commissioner, issued the celebrated or
der of "9 of 1907 giving notice that the
British government reserves the right to
decline to recognize or to modify any con-
cesson made by the late South African
Republic without proper legal authority
or contrary to law, or the conditions of
which have not been duly complied with,
or which appeared to affect prejudicially
the interest of the republic
This last clause was of the most sweep
ing character and the British govern
ment appointed a commission to pass
upon the whole subject. This commission
has made an exhaustive report, set out
in the blue book, laying down some i'm
portant principles. One interesting state
ment in the beginning Is this:
ION the first of September, 1900 her late
majesty annexed the territories and OBJ
liberated the sovereignty of the South Af-
rican Republic . 1t is
clear that a state which has annexed
another is not legally bound by any con-
tracts made by the state which has ceas-
ed TO exist, and that no court of law has
jurisdiction to enforce such contracts If
the annextng state refuses to recognize
them"
The commission also asserts the right
to examine whether the rights which it
is asked to recognize have in fact been
duly asqured,' a point of interest in the
Cuban cable controversy. 1t accepts Sir
Alfred Miners most important suggest
ion IN the declaration that the new gov
eminent is justified in cancelling or mod
hylng a concession when 1.-The mainten-
ance Of the concession is injurious to
the pubic interest"
The conclusions of the commissioners
nave not yet ben accepted and enunciated
oy the British government itself so far
as the blue book shows. The correspond
ence is brought up to April 10, last.

DEMOCRATS OF OHIO.
Looks Like Their Ticket VIII BE
KilbOurne and HoweIIs.

Columbus, o., July S.-The Democratic
ticket in Ohio will be Kubourne and
Howells as things look tonight. The
platform will be conservative.
None of the expected dramatic scenes
in the convention will come off. An un-
expected scene may occur before the
ballot for Governor is taken, as John l..
Zimmerman is being urged to withdraw
his name and move that Col. James Kill
bourne be nominated by acclamation.
Under no circumstances will thinner
man accept second place. After he gave
his ultimatum tonight to the many per-
sistent appeals from the Kilbourne men
that he should accept the nomination for
lieutenant governor. it was practically
settled that Anthony Howelis, formerly
state treasurer and consul to Cardiff,
under President Cleveland, would be nAm-
mated for second place
There are two opposing conferences in
session tonight. At the conference of
the conservatives, former Attorney Cen
eral Judson Harmon, Harland Clevelands
and others are explaining their platform.
The other conference Is conducted by
Temporary Chairman Salen, Judge Blan-
din and fifteen other Johnson men, who
came from Cleveland to-day to urge what
Is known as the Cuyahoga county con-
vention platform. In the intercourse that
took place between these conferees to-
night the Cleveland delegates were in
sisting to the last on their plank on
taxation. but they were no longer press
ing other new departures
There will be no definite action taken
on the taxation plank until tomorrow
night, but the platform of the conserva-
tives on other issues is considered as
being sure of final adoption.
