The Razor Fish Mt Home.

Sometimes in a walk over the sands
at the seashore will be found pair of
shells joined to each other along one
edge, something like razor case with
out the blade. The animal that lives
in these shells is called the solen, or
razor fish, and to find it one must
go on to those sand banks which are
only uncovered at the lowest ebb of
the tide. Here will be noticed some
little hollows in the sand not unlike
keyholes, and these lead down to the
solen, which lives below at a depth
varying from few inches to two feet.
II from one of these hollows little
jet of water is thrown up, it shows
that the animal is at home
The fishermen, who use the solen for
bait, plunge barbed iron rod into the
sand at the spot where they have seen
the jet of water come up and. impaling
the creature, bring it to the surface.
To obtain perfect specimen this
rough and ready mode Of capture will

THAT SHOOTING CASE

At Bellaire Likely 10 Result in the
Death of the Wounded Man-An
Officers Haste.
The shooting of Tom Johnson, OF
Pinch Run, by Officer, or Marshal,
Johnson, in Plum alley, Bellaire, on
Sunday evening about ten o'clock, is
likely to have fatal termination.
DR.. Piersol says that the bullet pene-
trated the lung and fails to find it.
The following is the officers state
ment: Early Sunday evening Mr.. Car
aahan, of the steel works sent down
requesting us to release a man we were
holding for carrying concealed weap-
ons, as he wished him TO go to work
In the mill. He guaranteed the pay
ment of any fine that might be i'm
posed. I went to the lookup and re-
leased the man. Then I went to the
Italians to set some ice cream to take
home When | came out crowd of
men were quarreliDg in Plum alley
Some. seeing me, ran away. | order
ed them to dispense, and told them
they ought to be ashamed to act so on
Sunday night, and told them they
needed a good punching.
Tom johnson said: Listen to that,
will youl"
! handed my package of ice cream
to Will White, who was with me, and
then knocked the fellow Johnson down.
As he got up reached for him to ar
rest him. but he lodged and ran down
the alley to Belmont street.
AS | reached the corner I saw he
was escaping and. thinking to scare
him into hating, | fired. He did not
stop and | fired again.
He ran a short distance. then stop
ped. saying: you shot me-" I exam
med him. but found no wound. took
him to .the station and locked him up.
after again examining him for a
wound but finding none.
After getting home felt uneasy
md went back to see him. He had
called Officers Mcdonald and Long.
who had a bullet wound in his shoul-
der blade. then released him and
tent an officer home with him
Late last nieht DR. Piersol who at
tended the wounded man at his home.
said he had discovered that the
wound was very serious if not fatal
one. The bullet had penetrated the
chest and right lung. and probing
failed to reveal its Whereabouts. It is
more than probable that the case will
result fatally.

A PENNSYLVANIA THREAT.
Unless Gould Gives Up the Wheeling
and Lake Erie and stops Wabash
Extension, Western Union Will BE
Made to Suffer,


PHILADELPHIA, September 23.-The
Inquirer Tomorrow will say:
A. ]. Cassatt president of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company, has demanded
OF George Gould the surrender of the Wa
bash railroad system and the Wheeling d
Lake Erie at n price which will net
proflt to the Goulds, under threat of cut
ting off the whole of the Western Union
telegraph lines from the entire Pennsyl-
vania system as we'll as from the Vander-
bilt lines which have agreed to the deal.
This is threat that means a war
greater than any that has ever taken
place in this country and is comparable
only with that of the Beech Fork & South
Penn in 1885, which resulted in the aban-
donment of these lines except as built,
which were swallowed up by the Wander
bits and the Pennsylvania.
The penalty means that the Western
Union will suffer the greatest blow in its
history and will lose many of its profith-
able lines, which will be turned over to
its great rival the Postal Telegraph
Company
This ultimatum means more than any
other railroad deal in the history of the
country 1t Is believed that the Goulds
will accede to the demands and that the
Pennsylvania will not only add nearly
5000 miles to it's trackage, but will also
get rid of a rival for the Carnegie steel
business, which is the largest factor in
the whole matter, resulting from a con-
tract made by Mr.. Carnegie with the
Wabash before the United States Steel
Corporation was formed, and to carry out
which the Goulds were trying to build a
line into Pittsburg.

The Board of -rade held a meeting
last evening at their rooms, to discuss
the question of new industries for
Wheeling. Present at the meeting al
SO were Mr.. c. r. Hubbard, OF the
wheeling Steel and Iron Co.; Mr.. Alex

OF the directors President Laughlin,
w. E. stone B. w. Peterson, Geo. w.

fhe meeting was called primarily to
consider a proposition of Mr. c. NJ.
Conradson, Of Wilmington, Delaware,
for the establishment in wheeling of a
plant for the manufacture of all kinds
Of Turret Lathes, of which Mr. Con-
ratdson is the patentee.
The lathes are already extensively
used, being manufactured in various
shops under contracts. Mr.. Conradson
already has an established trade
amounting to 175,OOo per year, but
now he will establish a plant here tc
manufacture the machines under his
own supervision.
The pant as proposed will employ
from $50 to 300 men, and will prove a
valuable addition to the industries of
Wheeling.
Mr.. Conradson explained in detail
his proposition which was very favor
ably received by those present. An
extended investigation has already been
made by the committee on industries
and they are nearly in shape to COM
mend the proposition to citizens for
their endorsement.
Mr.. Conradson goes from here 20
Madison, Wis, for ten days, when he
will return to Wheeling, by which time
1t is hoped matters will be in shape TO
close the deal
The proposed plant will cover about
$4,000 feet of floor space and will in
volve an investment of about $3.50. 600
The committee have desirable site in
view, that is satisfactory to all con-
cerned
Wheeling is a natural point for such
an enterprise, because OF the low
prices Of raw material and its position
as distrtouting point for the products
nj .sgkh factories fhe factory will
create e largely increased demand for
aEii.ed labor. The committee in their
Investigation have found MI. Conrad
sen to have the confidence and esteem
OF the business community throughout
the United States and his products are
used by all the big locomotive plants
and other large manufacturing COR
Germs throughout this country.
