The meeting of the NJ. E. Literary

The meeting or the M. E. Literary college, held last night, was very in teresting affair. The exercises were prefaced by the rendering of a very beautiful solo by Mrs. Nathan Levy She was in excellent voice and ren- dered the piece very sweetly. Prof Billinghurst read paper prepared by him on Mark Twain, which was ex- ceptionally interesting, and he kept the audience in an uproar of laughter, many of the ladies leaving the church with additional wrinkles on their faces from laughter. While the attendance was good, it was not as large as the merits of the exercises deserved.
 John Lawler and Frank Carlisle have returned from two weeks visit to the Santa Maria country, where Mir. Lawler has extensive mining interests.

Nothing Known of it by Local Off,

GERS.
Clarksburg is holding up it's record
as a hold up city. Several occurrences
of this kind have taken place recently.
L. T. Currence jeweller was con-
fronted by man with a revolver but
friend happened to drive by and the
fellow was frightened away.
On Monday night Stephen Young
blood Louisville travelling man was
held up by three men near the B. &
o. depot. He knocked one of them
down and then ran escaping from
their clutches. A special from
Clarksburg tells about what happened
to the suspected men later:
Charles Spears of Wheeling, Arthur
Blake of Johnstown, Pa, and Frank
Hart of Baltimore, arrested on the
charge of attempting to hold up
Stephen Youngblood, agent for the
Louisville, Ky.) Portrait Company
near Jasper's saloon in Glenn Elk at
an early hour Monday night, were
tried before Mayor Kelly yesterday
and fined heavily. Ia default of pay
ment of their fines they were SEN
fenced to the city chain gang for 80
days. The same parsies are reported
as having committed highway robbery
at Morgantown, but escaped the off,
GERS at that place. Clarksburg officers
were Immediately notified and were
on the look out for them. The ar
rests are regarded as important.
Inquiry among local officers fails to
reveal anything of this kind as having
happened near Morgantown recently.
If they did anything Of the kind
they have kept mighty quiet and
their victims have also failed to make
roar
The fellow who robbed seven men
in Clarksburg on one night recently is
thought to have been Parkersburg
man. He is under arrest and the
chances are will be given salty dose.
The authorities of Clarksburg are
aroused over the way that things have
been going and they are going to put
a stop to it If possible. Every one in
town carries big gun and there will
be general massacre up there some
night.
Morgantown can felicitate itself
that nothing of the kind ever occurs
here and that the people of this town
are lawabiding and peaceful. There
is no town in the state that stands
better than Morgantown in this re-
spect.

HOT SHOW.
Pittsburg People Laughed at 1t TIL
They We're Tired.

Concerning the new farce comedy
by Chas. w .Chase "Where the Laugh
Comes In the Pittsburg Times,
Sept 10th has the following to say
There was big audience last night
at the Empire Theatre and the people
laughed until they cried. The bin
was d farce-eomedy called Where
the Laugh Comes 10, y but the house
did not recognize Ii as a s'gone overn
edition Of Little Puck In which
Frank Daniels once made hit. It
stuck pretty closely TO the story OF
"Vice Versa as written by r. Anstey.
The company worked with will, and
within 5 minutes Of the rise of the
curtain the members OF the audience
were holding their sides, and by the
end of the first act their cheeks were
aching from laughter. Chas. II.
Phillips as doctor Brown with
whistle in his speech, caught the
fancy OF the gallery from his first ap-
pearance, and kept them In roar
w. Il. Bryant and Tom Ripley, as the
father and son who changed places,
did clever farcical work. Paul Bord-
man a typical comedy dude, also got
a share Of the applause, and sang sew
eral songs very we'll. Hettie Bernard
Chase, girl who might have stepped
out Of 1.-The Amazons,p provided
back ground for the comedians and
Vide Keane was a funny German
maid. The second act was funnier
than the first and the whole thing
was merry entertainment from start
to finish. Where the Laugh Comes

night.

TWO CENTS
IN A SNARL.
Encampment Bills Have Not Yet Been
Paid.

The state OF West Virgilia and the
board OF trade OF Wheeling are In a
clash over the payment Of $500 for the
use OF horses during the National
Guard eneampment which was held
in that city from the nth TO the 9th
OF September. 1t appears that when
Gov. White and Adjt. Gen. Baker
were casting about for suitable place
for the ensampment the board Of trade
OF Wheeling, through its secretary,
made many flattering offers providing
the mobilization OF the troops would
made there. Free lights and water
for the camp and horses and forage
were assured, and In lieu OF the In
dacements the men who wear the blue
Of the state spent their annual vaca-
tiun there. The assistant adjutant
general, Col. Huston, paid all bills
against the state at once by check,
the old formality OF presenting ac-
counts with vouchers being done
away with.
II seemed that every debt was liqui-
dated until the owners Of the horses
hired during the encampment began
to grow impatient and insisted upon
immediate settlement. Then it be-
came apparent that the board Of trade
had refused to llqnidate and the gov
ernor was notified of its action. The
matter Is now in stutue quo with
both the repre-. entatives OF the board
OF trade and the state determined
that the other shall put up the neces-
sary cash TO appease the wrath OF the
owners OF the horses. The outcome
Of the trouble is watched with inter-
est.

In some manner he slipped and fell
across the rails as the truck came to-
ward him and before he could get out
of the way he was caught by the
heavy car.
The truck ran over his stomach
nearly seyering his body in two. The

his comrades heard him speak several
times.

LOTS OF RUMORS.
Railroad World of the State is
Stirred Up

Several Systems are Said to be After
the West Virginia Central Rivals
Fight for Supremacy Senator Elkins
Possibly In Il Tight Place.
The trip of President Loree, of
the Baltimore Ohio and party over
the West Virginia Central Il Pitts
burg railway set the tongues of all
the railway prophets to wagging,
and il was freely stated the latter
road was about to be absorbed by
the B. & O., and would thus become
part of the big Pennsylvania sys
| TEN.
General Manager Potter, of the b.
& o., who was in charge of the in
spection trip over the West Virginia
/ Central, denied that there was any
! foundation for the rumor of absorb
tion OF the road by the B. q O.At the
Baltimore office of President Loree,
the idea that the trip would result
in the B. q O. purchasing the West
Virginia Central was secuted. But
in other quarters it was strongly in
timated that the latter road would
ultimately be absorbed, if not by the
B. d o.. then by the Pennsylvania,
distinction with but little differ
ence. Opinion in many railroad
quarters inclines to the view that
the Pennsylvania will do the absorb
| ing, as it controls all the connections
of the West Virginia Central
| There is still another aspect to
the matter in question as promi-
nent Baltimorean stated very recent
ly that it had been intimated to him
by a correspondent of his, who was
in position to be reliably informed,
til at the Goulds had been looking
over the West Virginia Central with
a view to purchasing controlling
| interest.
| The Wabash, Goulds' Eastern line
expects to be in Pittsburg the com
ing year, and attel that is completed
definite news regarding a seaboard
outlet may be looked for. Anent
this matter the Baltimore Herald
says: Fear that the Goulds may
come into possession of the West
Virginia Central might cause the
Pennsylvania interests to forestall
them. 1t was believed that the Bal
timore d Ohio bought the Ohio Riv-
er Railroad to prevent the West
Virginia Central or the Wabash
from getting hold of the property.
Had the West Virginia Central got
ten it, it could have made other con-
nections West of the Ohio; had the
Wabash secured it the Pennsylvania
would have had another competitor
in the West Virginia coal fields,
over which it now holds supreme
sway.
Speculation as to the disposition Of
the mines owned by the West Virginia
Central, should the Baltimore & Ohio
buy control OF the property, is also
heard. When the Baltimore s. Ohio
bought the Monongahela River rail-
road it came into possession OF the
coal mines owned by the little road.
These were turned over to a company
organized for the purpose, and event.
ually found their way into the Fair
mont Coal Company, which was re-
Gently formed. 1t is supposed that
the Baltimore s. Ohio would follow a
similar policy If it bought the West
Virginia Central and its mines.
