Many Surmises Over Col. Iackson's
Purchase Of East End Property.

Clarksburgers are busy surmlsing
Col. T. Moore Jackson's object In buy
ing properties at the East End. These
purchases are In line as an hypotheti-
cal extension OF the Short Line rail-
road and lies along jackson and East
Pike street. They are houses and lots
purchased by him of T. T. Wallis,
Mrs. j. T. Main, deceased: and Mrs.
Ward, and the Ford and Condra
places. Col. Jackson refuses to d.
vulge his object. but when told that
the public surmised that it prefaced
the location OF the freight depot at
the East End, or an extension Of the
road to Plnnickinnick mines, or an ex-
tension up Elk Creek, or was for the
purpose of providing manufacturing
sites along the road, he smiled, and
expressed himself as thinking that
one of all those surmises ought to
cover the matter. He promised to
tell the public all about it later.

May be Sued for by the County
Court for the Introduction Of
Smallpox in Harrison
County.
By The Short Line Contractors
Who, the Court believes, Should
bemade to defray the expenses
Of Stamping out the Ioath-
some MaIady.

j. H. Rlnehart, Son s. Company,
contractors on the Short Line railroad
with camps located at Wallace, have
sued the county court for buildings
condemned and destroyed because of
their being infected with smallpox,
which their colored employees whom
they imported from Virginia and
Kentucky.here last fall and this winter
and for goods furnished during the ex-
istence Of the smallpox, which these
Short Line contractors brought into
the county.
The county court has taken up the
matter and is advising with our best
attorneys as to the legal status Of in
shutting 10000 damage suit against
these contractors for the introduction
OF smallpox into Harrison county.
The expense Of the county has been
put to on account Of the introduction
and prevalence Of smallpox in the
county amounts to just about $4,000
and the court is decidedly of the opin-
ion that the people who brought the
loathsome disease TO this county should
be made to pay that expense, besides
being punished for the criminality
attached thereto.

loon, Wednesday night betweenS and
9o'clock with one of the pickpockets
that infest Clarksburg. He won the
first 81 put up and then he was In
duced to raise it to $40. An argument
ensued about the the amount Of
money put up, and while the discus
sion was on, the trickster switched
dice on Morrison. The latter, how
ever, observed the movement and
made ''holler, but the other fellow
pocketed the old mans cash, and he
was the loser OF $40 In all in the two.
transactions. The venerable man Is
sad but wiser.

Mine Accident at Gypsy.
Five Men Receive Painful but not
Serious Iniuries-All
Miners.

Quite bad accIdentoccurred Wednes-
day morning at the mines at Gypsy in
which i've men were injured. Will
liam Holbert was seriously burned
about the face and body. William
Maze, W. g. Maze, George Teens and
A. d. Teens we're painfully but not
seriously burned. Allwill recover.
The accident happened after three
shots were fired in adjoining rooms Of
the mines. The shots being tired near
the same time caused large amount
of smoke which kept the air from
driving the explosive dust from rooms
and heading, and the miners entering
rather soon with lamps, caused the
explosion.
The accident was to some extent
rather extraordinary as no one can be
blamed, unless it can be said, the men
themselves were careless in making
shots so near the same time and en-
tering too soon after such unusual
plan OF shooting.

OF the United Mine Workers Of
the Sixteenth Pennsylvania
District Arrested here upon
Serious Accusations.
Charged With EnbeEElensRt,
John E. Williams, Of Goal Run,
Pa, Accused as a pefauIter to
the Amount Of 500 Of
Workers Fund.

Mine Organizer William Warner,
who recently came here from Pitts,
burg, was notified by the oiiicers OF the
United Mine Workers of the 10th
Pennsylvania District, to have John
Z. Williams, treasurer OF the organi-
zation, arrested upon sight. Warner
ran across williams in the Pike street
theater Wednesday night about 10
o'clock and had Detective j. T. Bog
CESS to arrest him.
Williams is accused as a defaulter
and embezzler OF the organizations
funds to the amount Of 800.
In a statement to a Telegram re-
porter he says he was elected treasurer
last November. His district includes
parts of Maryland and Pennsylvania.
His home is at Coal Run, Pa. Satur-
day afternoon, he says, he turned over
his accounts and books, all correct and
straight, to Vlce-president W. G.
Brown at Myersdale, and rendered
his written resignation, assigning do
nestle trouble as the reason for his
action, and telling Mr.. Brown he in
tended to leave home. The domestic
trouble was caused by his attentions
to other women than his wife and by
playful joke upon his wife, which
terminated in the wife's dashing cup
of hot coffee upon him and his slapplng
her in the face. He says he was warn
ed by friends that his wife's people in
tended to fill him full Of lead, and
through fear he decided to leave that
section of the country. He left Myers
dale, Saturday afternoon, and arrived
here by way Of Cumberland, Sunday
midnight, having spent all day Sunday
in Cumberland. He says his purpose
in coming here was to seek employ
ment in the mines. He further stated
that he had deposits 10 the Valley
bank at Salisbury, Pa, and the Cltt-
zens bank at Frostburg, Md, more
than sufficient to cover the alleged
defalcation, and that his bondsmen
were responsible. He had $40 on his
person when arrested and blank
check on the Valley bank. He said he
had no idea OF attempting defalca-
tion.
1t is claimed that he received a
check for s4OO Saturday, in dues, etc,
and as the regular annual convention
of the district convened in Myersdale,
Monday last, his leaving on Saturday
looks suspicious, as his books, accounts
aud funds would have been examined
by the convention, and this gives rise
to the suspicion that ne had made
way with the funds. 1t is also stated
that an investigation proved that he
had no domestic trouble.
National Organizer Thomas Hager-
ty came on here Thursday morning
and took Williams back to Pennsyl-
vania, the latter having agreed to
straighten up the matter.
Williams is a Welshman, 80 years OF
age, and has three children.
