with that institution and become the
bride Of a well known Waynesburg
young man. Miss Moss left the SEM

Albert B. Hunnell, accompanied her
TO the station to see her safely off.
At the Waynesburg station he
changed his mind and decided to ac-
company Miss Moss to Washington.
Whether an elopament was planned
as the couple came over to Washing
ton on the narrow guage or not is not
known, the fact nevertheless remains
that when Washington was reached
Mr.. Hunnell purchased two tickets
over the Pennsylvania to Steubenville
o., and at the latter place, later in
the day the twain were made one.

TWO CENTS
HAYS MUST HANG.
Pennsylvania Pardon Board Re-
fuses to Act

In the Case Of Mark Thomas Hays the
uniontown Murderer aud He will be
Executed on Tuesday, April % EY-
cry Effort Made BY His Attorney to
Save Him.
UNIoNrowN, April 19.---It now
seems certain that Mark Thomas
Hays will be hanged on Tuesday
next unless executive interference il
had.
George b. Jefiries his attorney re.
turned from Harrisburg Yesterday
where he appeared before the pardon
board in behalf of Hays.
Mr.. Jefries argued that the pub
lie expression in uniontown cl early
indicates that Hays Is of nnsound
mind, that Immediately after his ar
raignment at the trial in September,
1899, by Jos. NJ Ogleyee, who was
acting clerk, Mr.. Ogleyee turned to
Judge Reppert, who heard the trial,
and said "He is crazy or 'that man
is crazy" Mr.. Jeffries further ar
gued that there was lack of motive
for the killing, in which the board
unanimously agreed with him.
The board at the conclusion of
Mr.. Jeffries's argument said to him.
"Mr. Jefi'ries you have made noble
fight for this mans life.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Jeffries
received a telegram from the pardon
board saying Communication re-

Mr. Jefries has certainly done all
that could be done TOR his unfortu

MUST VOTE ONE BALLOT.
An Important Decision by the Supreme
Court.

Judge Brannon of the Supreme
court Of Appeals, handed dowa an Inn
portant opinion to-day IN the case Of
Morris versus the Board of Canvassers
in which Morris claims his election as
City Recorder of Charleston on the
claim that the instructions TO voters
as TO the preparation of ballots Is di-
rectory instead OF mandatory, and
that tue intention OF the voter should
be taken, whether the law requiring
that the names of all persons voted
for shall be on one ballot has been
complied with or not. The Court
holds the instructions to be manda-
tory, but Judge Dent dissented from
this opinion.
This decision also settles the con-
test between Snyder aud Daniel fol
the sheriffalty of Fayette county,
where the question first arose, AMI de-
cldes the case in favor OF Daniel, the
Republican nominee who was defeat
ed on the face of the returns by over
300 majority. Judge Brannon IN the
syllabus to his opinion says:
"A voter must use only one OF the
ballots of the election sheet. and the
names OF all the candidates for whom
ne votes must be found on that one
ballot. Ii some names are on one
ballot, some on another, the voter
does not vote for any candidate. AS
TO mistakes and irregularities in cleo
tions distinction exists between
those made by officers of elections.
In the former case such mistakes and
| Irregularities may often destroy the
ballot while those of officers do not
affect the election II fair election
has been held. =

ENLARGiSG IT'S YARDS.
The Ii. 4 o. to Have Many More Tracks
at Fairmont and Grafton.

FAIRMoNT, w. Va, April 10 The
work Of grading and making fills in
the lower Baltimore 4 Ohio yard will
be completed about July. The con-
tract consists of the removal Of about
10, 900 yards of dirt, as near as can be
estimated. The dirt is being taken
from the hill along the west side OF
the track, and is being removed by a
steam shovel, dumped into cars and
then drawn by small engine to the
numerous places in the yard where
fills are being made. There are about
30 men at work. When the work is
completed 1t will give about five acres
OF graded and filled yard room, and
will be sufficient room for IL tracks
in addition TO the number now in use.
The contractors contemplated aud
probably would have completed the
work by June | had they not met with
several accidents during the progress
OF the work. They will be compelled
in order TO prevent large landslide,
TO remove several thousand yards OF
additional dirt caused by split along
the nlllSiue.
GRAFTON, w. Va, April 10. Bal
timore contractors, with so horses and
carts, have commenced work on the
retaining wall along the Valley river
and Three Fork for the Baltimore s.
Ohio Company. When completed the
tracks will be extended, which will
give the Baltimore & Ohio ample fac
ilities for handling the immense
freight traffic in the local yards.
THE handsome cabinet work Just
put in Hirschman's store by Robe SC
Williams is very much admired for its
beauty as well as It's utility. Mr..
Hifschman is greatly pleased with 1t
and the builders have perfect right
to be proud of it. 1t Is q sample Of
what they can do.
SAMUEL PIcKENPAUaH has torn
away some OF the small buildings in
the rear of his residence on Front
street and contemplates the removal
of the whole thing and the erection
on its site Of handsome double
house. 1t will add much to that
neighboThood.

START MAY FIRST.
Locks and Dams to be Started
Once More.

Contracts Awarded Major Powell
Takes Action -GiIlispies are Husf-
ling -TheF Don't Propose to Lose
any More Time Than Necessary
Quick Work Assured.
Work is to start on the locks and
dams on May first, That Is the an
nouncement that this paper is able
to make although as yet it has not
become public property through any
other medium. The announcement
is not official but it is made on the
strength of information that has
leaked out and that IS absolutely
reliable.
The company A. I. Gillispie d
Co, of Pittsburg which has eaptur
ed locks and dams No IL and IL
will start on them May first. They
have notified their men to report
here for the purpose Of going to work
at that time Some of the men who
have been engaged elsewhere have
already located here to start to
work.
Morgantown will be used as head
quarters for all the firms which are
to work on the river. They are to
finish up inside of two years from
the present date and they will do
SO is vouched by those who know
the companies.
Baker and Judson of New York
will build 10 and Ii and William
E. Howley of Pittsburg will con
struct Ia and Is Two contractors
have fallen down on the work up to
this time. One of them defaulted
after he had started and the other
one failed to give bond that was sat
isfactory to the department.
Major Powell has announced the
names of the lucky contractors.
They were very closely followed by
those who were beaten. The eight
locks will cost in excess of $500, 900.
They will be built on the continuous
contract system and the failure of
the river and harbor bill at the last
term of Congress will not have any
effect on them.
The new contractors have been in
this section looking over the ground
and they are expected to shoot the
slackwater to Fairmont within the
next few months The plan of di-
viding the work into three contracts
is expected to cause it to be com
pleted SO much quicker than if one
man had the whole business.
Much of the material for the work
will be taken from the line of the
M. & K. but the river gravel and
sand will all be brought up the river
being dredged from the Allegheny
and Cheat rivers respectively.

Picked by Local.. for APP
p0intment as Federal Judge.

"Who will be the next Federal
Judge was the question put to a
leading politician who is in touch
with state and national politics by
this paper this morning. Taylor
Vincent is the ouly man who has
made any impression on the Presi-
dent so far" was the reply.
THE others are doing lots of talk
ing but | expect to see Vincent land
the appointment. He is the best
man yet named for the place and TO
appoint him would be to put in a
first rate man"
1t will be interesting to watch the
appointment and see how close this
guess comes to the result.

they will have hard time of it to
win out but they will win II it takes
the hair off. There is much local in

THE WEEK IN TRADE.
DUCF1ON IN THE TOTAL VOL
UME OF BUSINESS
SPRING TRADE STARTS WELL
Shoe JObbers Are Already Closing
Contracts in Order to BE As
sured of Early De-
livery.

NEW YORK, Sept 6.-R. C. Dun 81
Co.'S review of trade tomorrow will say:
A holiday reduced the volume of legiti-
mate business, while speculative opera
lions were seriously curtailed by the gen.
eral closing Of exchanges from Friday
afternoon to Tuesday morning. In the
movement Of merchandise and in many
manufacturing lines there has been effort
to make up the loss by working over
time. but the weeks record will fall be-
hind those Immediately preceding.
Actual sales of many iron and steel
products are recorded at material ad-
Vances, and the tone throughout is hard
ened by vigorous demand.
Placing of sample orders for spring
footwear is of such character as to indi-
cate healthy market and some jobbers
are so anxious for early delivery that
contracts are being closed now.
Despite more activity in the market for
cotton goods, and placing of government
contracts, the staple shows no great
strength.
Although unsettled in tone, little al
teration occurred in the principal cereals
Trading Is restricted, and there was an
apparent dissemination to assume an ag-
greSSive stand on either side of the
market.
Commercial failures during the month
of August were 500 in number, and 50, 45S, =
S66 in amount of liabilities Compared
with the same month last year, the
statement is most unsatisfactory as fall
ures were then only 1875 in number, and
81 1923, 903 in amount
