AND PERSONALS.

FAIRMONT, w. Va, March 2.-Wm.
Warner, of Pittsburg, Pa, is again in
this city In the interest Of the United
Mine Workers, a miners organization,
and will remain in and heal Fairmont
for several weeks in order to try and
induce the miners OF this district to
become members Of their organization.
A few weeks ago Warner was %sentenc-
ed to six months imprisonment in the
house of correction in the State of
Maryland, N which State, it is alleged,
he was implicated in some sort of mine
trouble. He was pardoned, however,
after he had served six weeks and three
days Of his sentence, but on what
grounds he was released we have been
unable to learn. Previous to the time
he was sentenced he was along with
Chris Evans trying to organize the
miners in this region. Soon after War
ner was called to Maryland Evans left
badly disguised, 1t seemed, with the
little interest shown by the miners in
the organization. Warner, when seen
at the Tavern by the Register reporter
to-day refused to talk on the subject
any further than a more determined
effort than ever will soon be made to
organize the miners of this State, and
that at least one hundred prominent
workers of the organization will be
brought from other States and placed
to work in the coal region of this State
and make another effort to organize
the miners in West Virginia.

hotel in this city, one of the best equip

contaminated, which. no doubt but
what 1t will be, Mr.. Cans will move his
family there and conduct the house

owner Of the furnishings in the hotel
at this place and managed the hotel
department for several weeks, will re-
tire from the hotel business and en-
gage in other business here.
