HORRIBLE MISTAKE
Made by Bride and Groom in Regis.
tering ut Hotel.

1t was only few weeks ago that a
young couple from this city, bride and
groom, met with the following terri
BILE mishap in the metropolis Of Pitts
burg.
This couple who are well known,
left the city on their wedding trip,
and stop over night was part of
the pre-arranged program. Arriving
at one of the first class hotels of the
city, they both registered, instead of
the groom writing Mr. So and So and
wife, the bride, unused to her new
dignity as wife, signed her maiden
name to the register, and as matter
OF course both were assigned separate
rooms. No amount of explanations,
made privately, would convince the
clerk that the thing was horrible
mistake, that they were newly welded
and all that; this clerk like all of his
kind was obdurate, and the bride
groom to this day grows hot and cold
when he thinks of that misadventure.
His name is Withheld here for reasons
that every reader will appreciate.

EXPOSED BY ci.lEf O'HElLL.
Told Of the Bogus Expense Account
swine!ing by certein Chicago
Cdiccrs.

Chicago. Aug. 2S.-The connection
of Sergeant Cramor, Detective Tracey
and Lieutenant Joyce With the bogus
expense account which has enveloped
in scandal the detective bureau and
its chief, Captain Coleran, was told
by Chief of Police O'Neill. who took
the stand during the afternoon ses-
sion of the civil service commission,
sitting as the trial board to investi-
gate the matter. The denouement
created a sensation, particularly so
when Chief O'Neill told of the alleged
confessions OF his subordinates, which
they had in the main denied on the
stand or saved themsi es from re-
beating on the ground OF self-incrim-
iiation. The chief also told how Cap
tain Colleran and Lieutenant Joyce,
as he alleges. received their share OF
the spells. The only thing not re-
vealed was the source of information
that led to the unearthing of the scan
DIAL
Attorney Cash, representing Lieu.
tenant Joyce, made many attempts to
confuse, tangie and twist the evidence
OF the chief OF police Cash charged
that the chief was making false state
ments and said that the witness was
actnated by an unfriendly feeling to-
ward Lieutenant Joyce. all of which
CHIEF O'Neill denied Indignantly.

LOG TRAIN
Became manageable and Dashed
Down the Steep Mountain Grade.
Rur1ybannar DeIta


On Monday night about - o'clock
as sherwood " Cody's log train was
coming over the mountain from Mid
dlefork with five loads Of lumber the
engine became unmanageable before
starting down the grade and when the
grade was reached it ran away. The
truck nearest the engine first left the
track, and the crew all jumped except
Louis Phillips, who stayed on his
truck tillIitleft the track, and sustain
ed only very slight injuries. James
Ward was caught by the bolster of a
truck and injured SO badly about the
thigh and hip that he is liable 60 die
at any time.
Cyrus Davis, the engineer, was hurt
about the knee and ankle but is able
to hop around. John Patterson, the
fireman, is badly hurt about the hip.
Charlie Snyder received slight injuries
and Manuel Gooden escaped with a
few scratches.
The engine never left the track but
ran about one aud half miles and
stopped In the yard near the mill and
had the engineer and fireman remain
ed on it, they probably would have
escaped unhurt.

May Build Packet With Steel Hull.

Among the probabilities for the
near future Is steel hull packet to
ply between Pittsburg and Morgan
town The Pittsburg and Morgan
town Packet Co, officials have de-
cided to build the new steamboat,
the demands Of the large freight and
passenger traffic requiring Increased
accommodation The intention is
to buil9 a steamer which shall
eclipse in magnificence anything
running on the upper rivers, aud to
reach the most advanced position in
such matters, it may be that steel
hull will be used instead OF wooden.
Such vessel, as feet wide, built
as long as the Monongahela locks
will allow and finished in first class
stylv, WOULD cost in the neighbour
hood of 10000. A meeting OF the
directors of the company will be
held in the near future, at which
time the question will be thoroughly
discussed and all details given final
attention. A steel hull would add
materially to the strength and car
rying capacity OF the boat, as well
as to its durability.

The authorities are making people
who won't clean. up themselves attend
TO this matter at once. There has
been some complaint about several
places over town and the street com
missioner has notified the parties who
are to blame that they must apply
the remedy al once. There is no dis
position on the part of anyone TO
resist after it is called TO their atten-
tion and every place looked after has
been cleaned up. The plan is very
good one and should be strictly follow

MAKING IMPROVEMENTS
Bell Telephone Company has tang Of
WOrkmen in Town to Improve Local
System.

A gang of Bell linemen has been
ordered into Morgantown. They
will have a great many things to
look after and will probably be here
a month. A number of new cables
will be put in and wires extended to
all parts of the town to meet the de
mands which are being made on the
local exchange.
There are now 365 phones in this
exchange and it is growing very
fast. The company has hardly been
able to keep pace with the growth
which has been experienced. The
gang sent here has been at work in
several nearby towns. They will
put in some new poles. There is a
gang of 20 men in the crowd.

They are Sore.

People living in Seneca and South
Morgantown are sore at the way that
they have been treated. They feel
that they would have been better of
if they had been let alone and allowed
to do their own paving. The city
council has a heavy responsibility to
bear and they have been working hard
but what the people want Is results.
They are o1tspoken in their express
sions regarding the wrongs which they
have endured during the past few
months.

delegates present from all parts Of

tingent that the good of the order
can best be served by adopting rale
which. shall tend to eliminate this in

TWO CENTS
M. P. CONFERENCE
Meeting Of Great Importance
now in Session.

Parkersbnrg Il Entertaining the Min
listers Meeting will Last Until Next
Monday Pastor for Morgan
town NJ. ID. HeImick Preached Op.
ening Sermon.
A meeting of much interest to the
denomination IN this state Is in pro-
gresS ut Petersburg II il that OF
the M, z Conference. The sessions
began last evening with the opening
sermon by President M. d. Helmiek
OF this place. They will continue
until next Monday.
Among the matters Of interest
locally will be the selection of pas
tor 70 succeed REV. |. a. Barnes. It
is thought likely that President Hell
mick will be selected for this place.
Henry Baker is representing the local
church. The conference formally
convened this morning.
One OF the localities Ia which the
Nj. L. denomination is numerically
strong Is West Virginia They have
numerous prosperous churches and
large membership In this State.
One OF the matters OF the great in
terest in the conference Is the fact
that 1t stations the preachers for each
year.
The NJ. + Church Is practically a
republic. It has no bishops or pre-
siding elders, and everything In 1t is
done by vote OF the membership.
The different churches are governed
in this way, aud the conference gov
ems itself, electing president each
year, and the ministers being located
by the conference, after report from
the stationing committee. This sta
tioning committee IL one of great Inn
portance, md its doings are watched
with breathless interest by the mem-
beers Of the conference. Still. great
attention is paid to the calls OF the
churches, and preacher is rarely sent
60 a charge Objectionable to him, or
which does not desire him. Some
times one minister is asked for by sew
eral churches, but such matter Is
usually satisfactorily adjusted.

COAL SHAFT At RICE'S LANDING.
Beginning of a Development From
Which Greene County People Expect
Much.

Beginning or Development From
Which Greene County People Expect
Much.
Work has been commenced on the
Dilworth coal shaft at Rice's Landing
says the Waynesburg independent, .
and in the near future the famous
Pittsburg or river vein Of coal, which
coal will make Greene county rich and
famous in the very near distant day,
will be tapped. The coal at that
point can be reached at depth of
about 100 feet. At the shaft at the
mouth Of Browns Run, a few miles
further up the river, Gu the Fayette
county side, the thickness Of the coal
vein is nine feet and eleven inches OF
pure workable coal, and Of quality
that is as good as any in the world.
This famous vein is under every
foot of Greene county, and If that is
not enough coal to make the county
one of the richest in the state nothing
else will. We understand that the
DilWorth Coal Co. has let the contract
for forty new houses adjacent to their
works for their men.
We venture that this is only the
commencement OF the coal develop
ment for Greene county, and when the
railroads get in, and they are bound
to come, development will commence
at various points

Mad-Their Streets Have no Prospect
of Being Finished Before Winter
Col. Gilmooe is Ready to Quit Unless
Something is Done.
"Why don't the New DOMINION
give somebody fits over the way that
the street paving is goinp2n
This is the question that is repeated
TO this paper every hour In every day.
The trouble seems TO be Go locate
those who are responsible. Everyone
who is approached on the subject dis
claims any wrong doing or delay and
lays it on some other person. In the
meantime there Is little or nothing
being done.
One of the leading citizens of South
Morgantown was talking with a rep
resentative of this paper this morn
ing He said that the people over
there were unanimous in condemning
the present council and other city au-
thorities ssThey are very mad about
it," is the way that he put it. They
feel like they could have done better
if they had been left alone.
GAS it is there is no reason Go be-
lieye that anything will be done this
full and We will have to put up with
the mud The roads are nearly i'm
passable now. What will they be
after the fall rains set in? People
can scarcely get along and it is Won
der that no bad accidents have occur
red over there the way the streets are
left"
cit is a shame and there is abso-
lutely no excuse for the Slow way in
which the council has moved AT
the present rate it will be months be-
fore they wake up TO the situation.
They don't seem TO care how we are
fixed or not to know just what des-
perate strait we are in. The people
of my side of the creek are disguised
with the whole business.
"The contractors have taken their
teams away until there isn't thing
over there to work with and absolute
ly nothing being done. How long
will it take at this rate to pave the
streets?n
work is going along on Beverly
avenue and a gang of men are setting
curbing. At some place the sides Of
the road have fallen in and this will
have to be removed. Col. Gilmore
has been trying for several days to
get something done toward making
an arrangement to take this dirt out
but the street committee has been
slow about going out.
After the stone is set this dirt will
have to be removed. a sewer must
be laid on part Of the street and a
water line go in before the sand can
be hauled and this will have to be
finished before the brick can go down.
If an agreement should be made be-
tween the contractor and the street
committee lot Of this work could go
ahead at once.
But if it is left TO be done ia series
it will take weeks to finish. Col
Gilmore is about ready to lay down
the contract and retire. He.says that
he is Disguised with the whole bust
ness. The street committee has the
power to go right ahead and do what
it wills as this has been placed in
their hands by the council. viii they
do it or will they allow half the popu
lation OF the city to be worried for
months to come because of the delays
and procrastination Of the committee.
