GOVERNMENT IN WAY.
Serious Hitch to Grabbing Mon
ongahela River Bed.


II is alleged the State has Relinquished
Title to the Federal Government
The Grabbers Have allotted Some
COLD Bricks-Coal Companies Both.
/ cred.
UNToNTowN. Pa, March 2S.-The
attempt of politicians TO grab State
/ lands underlying navigahle streams
has aroused indignation in this coun-
/ ty. A factor that will have To be
considered by the grabbers, should
their efforts to get the Boyd bill passed
prove successful, Is the United States
government. Several years ago the
government condemned the Mononga.
hda Navigation company's system OF
locks and dams on this river and ac-
quired title to them for 4 sum over
| $5, 900, 900. The government now ex
ercises absolute authority over the
| river. SO that 1t is not possible for a
mine owner to build coal tipple
along the river without first securing
the permission from the United States
authorities. 1t is said that should
| the grabbers secure titles to the land
under their patents and the passage
OF the Boyd bill confirm them, they
will run up against the general gov
ernment's title to all the bed of the
river, which will be paramount, the
State having relinquished title to the
government.
The local projectors OF the grab took
care TO give 1t the appearance OF being
a non-political matter by allowing
members of both parties to get IN on
it. Five of those who secured patents
on the Monongahela river property are
Democrats, Senator A. d. Boyd, his
two sons, Edward and Samuel Boyd
Judge r. E. Umbel, Senator Boyd,s
former law partner and present acting
judge of Fayette county, and Wooda
N. Carr, Democratic politician and
lawyer. The other grabbers are Re-
publieans, most of them being Quay
politicians,
Representative L. +. Arensburg, in
locating his section OF the land TO be
grabbed, selected that most valuable
He patented that portion Of the
| Youghiougheny river at ConnellsYille
undeflaid by the Connellsville ceking
coal vein, aud his 100 acres would be
worth from 81 200 to $1,000 an acre.
In studying the Monongahela river
allotments some gold bricks were evi4
IDENTIFY delat out in alloting some por-
tions of the river bed where there was
no Pittsburg vein Of coal, but the ones
on the inside got that portion where
the coal lies under water.
The granting of the land under the
Youghiongheny river TO Representa-
tive Arensburg aud the passing of the
bill at once put a stop TO the opera
tions OF great many coke companies
! in the Connellsville region. The II.
@. Prick Coke company, for instance,
sunk shaft on the east side Of the
Youghiougheny river just north OF
Connellsville, many years ago. This
| is Davidson shaft. The company ran
headings under the river, and secured
an outlet to the shaft from extensive
workings on the west bank OF the
Youghiougheny river, where the com
pany owns large tracts OF coal lands
adjoining their Trotter plant. The
III. G. Prick Coke company bought the
coal land under the river from j. r.
Mccormick, who obtained possession
of it az an original grant handed
down from the State.

ANOTHER HITCH.
Contracts for Locks and Dams
Still Unsettled.

One of the Contracts may be Released
for Some Reason-Two OF the Locks
aud Dams Settled-Lock Six PLAYING
in Hard notwithstanding Wins
Dam.
1t is now thought that 1T won't be
long until work Is started on the con-
struction of the locks and dams be-
tween this place and Fairmont. This
announcement has been made so often
however that people are beginning to
lose faith in 1t. This time 1t looks
like something was To be done at least
on part OF them.
A. L. Gillepsle & Co., of Pittsburg
have the contracts for Y and 13 or at
least they have the lowest bid in on
them. The head of the firm has been
here looking after stone and other
material needed in the construction
of these locks and dams and it seems
that they are in earnest about build
ing them.
The recommendations of Major
Powell have not yet been. forwarded
to Washington but he will In all likli-
hood recommend the lowest bidders
In each case. The bidders on IL and
] are among the big contracting firms
of the country and If they take hold
they will finish up their work In the
allotted time.
On the other two contracts the
same bidders are the lowest bidders.
They may not be given tho contracts
as there is some hitch or other. 1t
may be that there will be a readver-
tisement and reletting of these con-
tracts. They have been advertised
and let SO often that this won't take
very long II it has TO be done
Work on lock six has been stopped
by the high water but it is thought
that there was no damage done by
the present rise. The lock is expect
ed to be done very shortly and opened
for navigation very soon.
Parkersburg and Marietta have
been lighting over the location of the
dam which is to be placed in the Ohio
near those towns. The former has
won the fight and viii have the dam
placed at that point.

The death sentence was pronounced
upon Macarthur by Judge Clements yes

When the words fell from the lips Of
the Judge the room was as silent as the
+ tomb. The prisoner, his face white and
drawn. seemed at first unable to compre-
bend what was said.
moment later his face relaxed and he
smiled in CHASTITY way. AS he sat down

; agony and he seemed about to break
down.
He regained his cOmposure almost in

prisoner, looking straight into the face of
the court.
Without taking notice Of the response
Of the prisoner Judge Clements con-
tinued:
Il had hoped that during my incum-
bency of office would not be called upon
to perform the unpleasant duty which
now presents itself.
!" You have been vigorously but fairly
prosecuted. and you have been ably de-
Tended. If l thought for one moment
that the jury who convicted you had act
ed through the influence Of passion, pre-
JUDGE or any undue influence, or that
. any undue advantages had been taken
of you in your trial, would not hesitate
TO set aside this verdict and grant you a
new trial upon my own motion, but l see
no reason for so doing.
You have been the architect of your
own misfortunes and have no one to
blame but yourself for the fate that now
confronts you. There is nothing in the
law which authorizes or justifies me at
this time in saying anything that would
cast reproach upon you or add one hairs
weight to your present distress Of mind
You should console yourself with the re.
fiection that you have taken one desper.

The judgment of the law and the sen.
tence Of the court is that you be remand.

county and, on day to be hereafter fix
ed in a warrant duly issued, you be by
the then acting sheriff Of Powell county
hanged by the neck until you are dead.

was decided upon.
