MORGAN AND THE PENNsY.
Believed They viii Pool Issues In
the Atchson.

New York, June 6.--The Mail and
Express yesterday afternoon said OF
Mr.. Steele's election to the Atchison
directorate:
The election of Mr.. Steele means
that in the future Mr.. Morgan is to be
one of the ruling factors in that com
pany. 1t also brings to light some
exceedingly interesting facts in re-
gard to the western railroad situa-
ton, which thus far has been kept
secret Nobody supposed that Mr..
Morgan wanted to get foothold in
the Atchison, but it has been known
for some time that the Pennsylvania
railroad had bought a large block of
the stock and would in due time be
given a representation in the board
of directors. representative Of the
pennsylvania will be chosen shortly
Most of the Pennsylvania pur-
chases of Atchison were made months
ago at materially lower prices than
prevail today. The Burlington Incl
dent and Northern Pacific corner
however, brought great financial pow
ers into opposition and changed the
program which had been outlined only
a short time before.
With the possibility that the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
might be used to the great disadvant-
age of some of the eastern railroads,
such as the Pennsylvania, Vanderbilt
and Southern railway systems, it be
came essential that sufficient interest
in the Atchison should be acquired
to enable Messrs Morgan, Cassatt
and their associates to reach far
western points which are not accessi-
BILE by the Northern transcontinental
lines.
According to a man identified with
Atchison interests, Mr.. Morgan ana
those whom he represents, including
perhaps the Pennsylvania, now hold
majority Of the common stock, Of
which S102,000,000 is outstanding. Ii
is believed that Mr. Morgan is acting
in harmony with the Pennsylvania in
terests and that they will pool their
stock"

NO SEWERS
Shall be Run into Deckers
Greek if Law

Is Of anY avail is the Statement Made
BY Number of Citizens They Have
Secured attorneys aud will Fight the
Plan Sewers to be Taken out That
are already in.
The plan of running sewers into
Deckers Creek has reused the people
living along the lower stretches of
that stream. They have formed an
organization, procured a lawyer and
will call the aid of the courts to pre-
vent the stream being polluted as
proposed.
One of them in talking over the
matter said: 1T is menace to the
health Of the entire town. 1t can
not be thought of and will not be toll
Grated. We expect to go into court
and will give those who run in sewers
lively chase for their money.
sMorgantown has always been
noted as a clean, nice, healthfnl place.
What will its reputation be with a
cess pool right in the center Of town?
During three or four months of the
year ia summer there isnt any cur
rent at all in the creek and the sewer
age would lie in the pools breeding
diseases Of all kinds.
sThe town owes it to the citizens
who have taken precautions to pre-
vent any outbreak Of disease from
filth to prevent Others from making it
almost uninhabitable. What should
be done is to run a big sewer up the
creek from the river and have all the
sewers from either side run into it.
Col. McDermott in another column
Of this paper serves notice OH those
who have already run sewers into the
creek TO remove them or he will pros
eeute them The move is good one
and it should be followed by Others
who are interested.
Council has granted permission for
anyone TO run sewers into the creek
instead Of the river if they want to
but the plan will probably be amend
ed when it is found that there is so
much opposition 10 it by the citizens
most vitality interested.

FIGHTING RENEWED.
South Morgantown Again Be-
gins TO Scrap.

People over there Determined to Beat
Consolidation if Possible II. f. l..
Allen Represent Them Demands
Made on Recorders for Books and
Papers Courts TO be asked to Inter
sene.
South Morgantown is going to
make things hum ia the courts II
they can do SO They have taken
steps through attorney L. Il. L.
Allen to see what there is in the
case. They think that they have a
good case and that they will be
able to defeat the consolidation
which has been carried on without
their advice or consent.
The first steps toward this were
taken when demand was made on
former recorder Layton Coombs for
the Oooks and papers of the cor
poration Of South Morgantown. The
mayor G. +. Stephan, Councilman
Hess and Mr.. Allen made this de
mand Mr.. Coombs told them that
be had already turned over the hooks
to Recorder Arnett of the City oil
Morgantown.
Mr.. Arnett was then visited and
the demand made on him for the
documents. lie of course refused to
gi7e them. Judge J w. Mason is
The next resort and the papers have
been prepared to be submitted to
him as king for mandamus to com
pei the city recorder to turn over
the papers to the people across the
creek.
This will take the matter into
court and will result in the case be.
ing heard on its merits, Mr.. Allen
states that he hopes to have It come
up at the June court and SAYS that
he has no doubt but that the South
Morgantown contention will be up
held by the court.
It is stated that Charles A. Good
win has finally decided that the
South Morgantown contention has
no nope 0l succeeding.
The council over there is holding
its regular meetings and it is order
ing certain things to be done Their
affairs are also being managed from
this side by the city council. The
Bank Of Warrington which is to
take the bonds issued by the former
town for street paving has stated
that they will take the signatures
OF the mayor and recorder Of the
city instead of the authorities Of the
old town
For some time it had been thought
that they had accepted the situa-
ton gracefully but the people of the
first ward seem determined to fight
if they have any room to do so. Mr..
Allen will probably 60 to Clarksburg
at once to lay his papers before
Judge Mason who is holding court
up there.

And Thrown into the River Near Fair.
mOnt-Body Found.

RIyEsvILLE. June 6.-The body OF
an Austrian was found in the river
near this place this morning. He
was identified as man who had been
in the employ of the w. E. Howley
Co., on the Pawpaw Railroad No
one knew his name but his number on
the pay roll was 1862.
He had been missing since the last
pay day, which was about two weeks
ago.
A coroner's jury was empaneIed and
they brought ia a verdict that he had
been murdered and his body thrown
into the river.
Several bruises and other marks Of
violence on his body substantiated the
above. The body was badly decom-
posed, and had likely been in the
water for several days. Undertaken
Musgrave, OF Fairmont, was notified,

ALLEN GUILTY.
The Jury Finds a First Degree
Verdict

Within FourHonrs after They had Re-
tired But Two Days Consumed in
the Trial He will be Hanged for the
Murder OF Hiram Mcmillan Former
Resident OF Morgantown.
The jury in the murder case of
William Allen negro at Uniontown
brought in verdict Of murder in
the first degree. The case had been
on trial but two days. Judge Rep
pert delivered the charge and the
jury retired. They were out four
hours when they returned and gave
their verdict 1t was guilty in the
first degree. There was no recon
mendation This means execution
unless something occurs to prevent
and there does not seem to be any
thing that can prevent it now.
Allen was guilty of committing
not only murder but it was most
cold blooded affair. He had outraged
Hiram McMillian's wife previous to
having shot down her husband. He
told a story that served in some
measure to expose his conduct but
1t had little weight with the jury
and they promptly gave him the ex-
tent of the law
Mrs. Mcmillan is not an overly
bright woman but her story was
told in straightforward way and il
had great effect on the jury Me
MILAN was formerly resident Of
Morgantown and worked for a long
time at the west side brick yard
He had gone from here but short
time when he was killed.
Allen will pc promptly hanged
and justice will be indicated. AS
soon as his trial was over another
murder trial was called. This was
William Nolan, of Connellsville,
charged with the murder of J. W
Grindle, April 9th The prisoner
pleaded not guilty and a jury was
called. The trial is now on.

COUNTY COURT.
Time Taken ap With Minor Business
Matter Of Exhonerations Taken up.

The time Of the present session Of
the county court SO far has been en-
crossed with minor matters. They
haWe been passing on many questions
of .6xhonerations. Farmers who have
sold their coal want to be released
from paying taxes on the value of the
coal. AS some of them have sold
their coal for one hundred dollars and
the land was assessed at forty dollars
an expert has been engaged to find
out how much the county will now
have to pay the tax payers. There
will have to be another assessment to
place the tax both on the farmer and
the coal owner.
