LARGEST OF COAL FLEETS.
Over Twenty Million Bushels Leave
Pittsburg for the Mississippi.

In the latter part Of last week the
largest coal feet ever got together at
Pittsburg began TO leave that city for
towns on the Mississippi river. BY
Saturday last 800 coal boats and barg-
es had already left Pittsburg with
over 20, 900, 900 bushels of coal. This
shipment of coal is the greatest in the
history of Ohio river navigation, says
the New York Sun of July 10.
The reason why so much coal Is
now shipped all at once is because the
Ohio for an unusually long period has
been too low TO float loaded coal boats
past the falls at Louisville The
present rise in the Ohio is the first to
occur since April rs. Never before
in the past fifty years has the Ohio
failed to have coalboat rise either
in May or June.
The Mississippi towns never resort
to the more expensive railroad routes
for coal shipments if they can posi-
bly, make their supply last till rise
in the Ohio brings down the coal
fleets. Nearly two years ago the Ohio
vac az Oh NCiJ INV SOdSC duu IL was
impossible to use the river for some
months for transporting coal to New
Orleans. The stock of coal at that
city was getting very low, and appear
ances Indicated that New Orleans
would have to depend upon the rail-
roads to replenish her supplies, Mean
while hundreds OF barges were tied up
at Pittsburg, all loaded and ready to
start. The needed water from the
mountains came at last and | 1850, 600
bushels Of coal were started down the
river. That shipment of coal has
never been surpassed until last week.
1t would have taken 1900 freight
cars to carry this amount of coal.
A single tow steamer can haul from
forty to fifty of these large coal barges
and it is this fact that makes the coal
towage on the Ohio and Mississippi
so remarkably cheap. The freight
rates that have prevailed in recent
years are about so cents ton from
Pittsburg To New Orleans which is
said TO be the cheapest freight rate
in the world The distance by river
is 2, 900 miles.

BIG R. R. IMPROVEMENTS.
To Be Made at Once in Fair
mont Yards.
A Twenty-foar Stall Round House and
Big Machine shop to be Erected
The Improvements to Cost $3.50, 900
Large Force of Men at Work.
Fairmont Evening Times.

dlruont EVenlng Times.
Although the B. & o. Company
has had force of men at work on
the grading of their grounds in the
lower yards, at the mouth of Buffalo
creek, few people are aware of the
vast number of improvements that
are to be made on the site within
the next few months. Besides the
"a stall round house which the com
pany is preparing to build a 60xlS0
repair and machine shop will be
erected; also Boxes store room and
oil house and 30x50 reading room
and lavatory for the use of the train
employees.
Jas. Ferguson d Son, OF Newark,
o., who built the depot here a few
years ago, have the contract for the
work, and will push it along rapidly
during the summer.
The total number of improvements
will amount to about $550,000. The
buildings will be of brick, and it is
said that 100000 brick will be used
in their construction. A force OF
over one hundred men are now at
work and more will be employed la
ter The fact that the company
will spend so much money for i'm
proyements at this point goes to
show that Fairmont is classed as
one of the best business centers
along the line. When all the i'm.
proyements contracted are complet-
ed, Fairmont will have one of the
best equipped railroad yards in this
section of the country. The reading
room for the employees will be quite
treat to the hard working men, as
it will afford comfortable place for
rest and recreation In addition to
getting ready Tor the other improve
ments, force of men are at work
putting in Golfer dams preparatory
to building the piers and abutments
for the new Buffalo bridge

SURVEY BEGUN.
Chief Engineer Webb Began
Work on the Electric Car
Line This Week.

Executive Committee of the Street
Railway Company Held a, Meeting
Friday Afternoon Old Mackey Mill
Property Accepted as a Site for
Power House-Sold by Grant and
Hirsehman.
A meeting of the Executive Com
mittee Of the Morgantown Electric
and Traction Company was held
Friday afternoon 10 the office of Chief
Engineer Webb, in the Postoffice
Building
The Executive Committee is COM
posed of Or. |. c. White, Frank Cox,
George G. Sturgiss. E. NJ. Grant, and
William E. Glasseock.
Ways and means for constructing
proposed street railway were fully dis
cussed, various routes we're considered
the Chief engineer Webb met with
the committee and joined in the dis
cussion Of the proposed routes for the
establishment of the road. He had
already done little surveying and
looked over most Of the city streets.
He has employed some assistant in
gineers and will push the work OF To-
eating the railway as fast as possible.
Mr.. Webb approved the election of
the old "Mackey" Mil property as a
location for power house. The OPP
tion which has been held on this prop
erty from theowners Messrs. Grant and
Hirschman, was accepted and the
power plant will be located on Deck
er,s Greek in the Second Ward where
the old mill burned down.
The Executive Committee will hold
frequent meetings and consultations
with the chief engineer as he pro-
ceeds with his work of surveying, in
order to decide upon the most feasible
routes.
If the street railway were to ira.
verse all the streets, alleys, ,and subur-
ban roads proposed to be used, we
would soon have a hgndred miles of
track. The first sections Of the road
will have to be built where there is
prospect of accommodating the great
est number of people. OF course
Beechurst Avenue and the factory
section of the Fourth Ward will have
to be reached and also the new acto-
ries being erected up Decker's Creek.
Just what routes will be followed in
reaching the new works up Decker's
Creek has been decided by great
mauy people but will have to be def
uitely settled by the chief engineer,
who holds the veto on all proposed
routes.

BEGINS In 80 DAYS.
Work on New Pressed Prism
Plate Glass Factory.
Located on the Harner Farm-The
Factory to be in Operation by Fall
100 Men to be Employed-Pressed
Prism Glass to be Manufactured.

Work on the new factory for the
manufacture OF preside glass prisms
will be commenced within thirty
days. Mr.. Stu:giss who secured
the site for the factory IS authority
for the above announcement. The
factory will be pushed rapidly to
completion. It's hoped to be hoped
to be ready for the manufacture OF
pressed prism plate glass soon after
the fires start in the regular plate
glass factories this fail, probably
some time in October.
Mr.. W. A. Page, and Prot. Wads
worth OF the Astronomical Observa-
tory at Allegheny are the principal
movers in this enterprise. They will
manufacture prism glass by new
process invented by Prof. Wads
worth. Heretofore pressed glass
prlsms have been made only 4 or 8
inches in dimensions by the process
ses known, and these had to be las
tened together with lead or metal.
BY the new process to be employed
in this factory pressed plate prisms
feet square can be made and kept
perfectly smooth with true level
surface.
Contracts for machinery and
equipments have already been made
by the promoters. The building
contracts viii be let shortly and
work begun inside of thirty day
limit. The site for the factory is
on the VT, Harner farm purchased
by Mr.. Sturgiss in the Decker
Creek Valley.
Mr.. f. S. Broeket of the plate
glass factory is closing contracts
for the machinery and equipments
for the big enterprise which will also
be located on the W. I Harnel
farm. Work on all these industries
is necessarily somewhat retarded
by the inability to get material
These people want the street rail
way up there by the time their fac
tories are in operation but all rail
road building has to 60 veIy slowly
Orders for steel rails must be PLACED
from six TO twelve months in advance
of the time they are to be used. The
stocks of these materials are ex
hausted and time has to be allowee
for the iilling of previous orders. NJ
such thing as promptness in I'll
ing of orders for steel manufacture
is now possible.

TWO CENTS
CHILDREN BITTEN
Mad Dog Caused Much Ex-

Three Children Bitten BY the Animal
Which was Afterwards shot by
Brady Malone.
The appearance of a mad dog
rushing through the streets OF Wat
son last evening caused much ex-
element in that little town, and re-
suited in three children getting
bitten by the animal says the Fair
mont Times.
1t was a strange dog; at least no
one knew its owner or when orwhere
it came from. 1t appeared in the
town swapping and snarling at every
thing it came in contact with. That
the dog was mad was not noticed at
first and but little attention was
paid to it until it snapped at some
children playing in the street. A
child by the name of Gerard was
bitten and two Italian children
whose names we could not learn. A
chase was then made for the dog,
and finally Mr. Brady Malone sue
ceeded in shooting and killing it,
The childrens' wounds were attended
to by physicians, but so far nothing
has been done. It,may become neces
sary, however, to send them to the
Pasteur Institute in Baltimore for
treatment.

er-Taylor County to Hold County
Convention.
The contest between Hon. George
G. Sturgiss, of Morgantown and
Charles w Swisher, of Fairmont,
for a seat in the State Senate is still
on. The Senatorial Convention will
be held here at Morgantown on July
31st. 1t is still problematical what
the result will be. Mr.. Sturgiss
states that TaylorCounty will hold a
county convention between this and
th last of the month. At this con
vention it seems that the question of
nominating delegates to the Sena
torial Convention will be brought up
and new delegates named.
The primary held few weeks
ago has been declared void and no
other primary has been called If
new delegates are named by the
County convention there is proba
bility that Taylor County will be
represented by two delegations de
handing to be seated IN the Sena-
torial Convention. In the face of
these conditions there are indiea
tions of a veey lively scrap here on
July3lstOf course it will be orderly
for Monongalia County will not put
up with other kind of political
meeting held within her limits.
The outcome will be awaited with
considerable interest.
