THE WHEELING & LAKE ERIESHUT
BY the Wabash The Pennsylvania
Makingla Stiff Fight.

Plans for the construction Of joint
line by the Pittsburg and Lake Erie
from Brownsville for a distance OF
about thirty miles into West Virginia
coal fields, which were conceived last
fall, have about matured. 1t is said
that within another month the con-
tracts will be let and work win proba-
bly, commence about June LIST. The
building Of the new line is to furnish
an outlet for vast fields Of coal that
abound in the West Virginia district.
The plans will necessitate the exten-
sion OF the Pittsburg and Lake Erie
from Fayette City to Brownsville,
from which point the new line will be
built Jointly by the two companies.
This will enable them TO secure con-
siderable coal tonnage from the West
Virginia fields, and furnish an outlet
for the great industries of that district.
The completion Of the project in
wolves considerable money is the
intention to MAINTAIN the joint line
exclusively for the transportation of
coal. Pitts burg Leader.

GANG OF THIEVES.
Small Boy Makes a Startling
Confession.

He is Caught R0bbing Lawyers Office
and Makes a Full Breast of the Whole
Matter-He States that there is an
Organized Gung at at Work Where
They Have Operated.
Suppose you give me the stamps
that YOU have just stolen from my
Office desk. This was the greeting
that was given a small boy a few days
ago as he came out Of the Office of a
well known attorney.
The boy hesitated turned pale and
started to gasp out denial. Its
no use trying to deny it. | know
that you have them, and they are in
that pocket. said,the attorney point
ing out the pocket into which the
stamps had been thrust. "And you
may as well include that two dollars
which are in the other pocket having
been taken at the same time as the
stamps"
Further denial being useless the
boy went back into the Office and
made full confession. He had been
caught by clever trick The lawyer
had been missing stamps for some
time. He went to the postoffice bought
dollars worth and placed them in
his desk. He then went to a conven-
lent place and waited for develop
mentS.
A boy who had been suspected of
the thefts sauntered into the office
and in few moments came out with
the results given above. Seeing that
the game was up the lad made a con-
fession that was startling to some at
least.who have heard it,
He says that gang Of boys from
about twelve to fourteen years Of age
have been engaged in stealing around
town for long time. They take any
thing that they can get their hands
OIL.
One of the lodges is the one that
brought him to grief, stealing from
offices which are left for short time
by the occupants. Dawson's store
and the Italian fruit stands suffer the
most and fruit of all kinds are stolen
from there.
The Acme Book store is fine place
W SeU uoFeIs; pens duu dll otueF dEbl-
eles dear to the heart OF a boy. More
pretentious jobs have occasionally
been put up, The confession was one
that gives food for thought to lots of
people who have not been looking very
closely after their boys. The streets
are very poor places for them. The
lads are learning things that they
should not know.
For various reasons the name of the
culprit caught by the attorney will
not be given but people who have
been missing articles had better be on
the look out or they may lose more
than they have already lost.

ed Lock Opened To-day.
Lock Nine opened Friday morning.
This announcement is one that will
cause rejoicing among those who have
shipments OF material waiting for the
lock to be repaired. They have lost
month or SO and the loss is very
grave one. The instance of Oliver Is
one in poiut.
He has the contract for supplying
mine props and other supplies for
mines To the River combine. They
have agreed to take all that he has
capacity for and have asked him to
increase his capacity This he has
not yet done.
One hundred car loads Of material
are waiting shipment from this source
alone. A man was sent here from
PittsbuTg to find out what was the
matter that nothing had come down
for 50 long He went up to the mill
in the mountain before he would be
convinced as TO the delay.
| ClAnother thing that is hurting local
people is the fact that no RATS can be
taken down the river. There are
number of RATS ready to 60 but they
have TO remain tied TO the bank be-
! cause the locks have not been ready
to let them through.
Freight rates have been high on the
railroad much higher than they are
by boat and everyone who has been in
the habit Of shipping from Pittsburg
by boat has noticed the ference
Progress on the new library build
ing has been hindered somewhat as
the people who are putting the floor
ing in have been prevented from get
ting the sand that they needed BY
river. 1t has made it very costly To
load it in cars, then unload il and the
process has been a slower one than
dredging it Into boats and shipping
it by water
The loss to the owners of the two
boats which have lain here all the
time tied to the bank has not been
small matter This will all be ended
now. Regular trips begin on Friday.
