FINE COLLECTION.



Yesterday was the day appointed by
the Bishops of M. E. church for rails
ing money for the Permanent Fund
for the Wornout Ministers. For
three years the Methodist church has
been engaged In raising a 10th Gem
fury offering and has succeeded Ia
raising the enormous sum OF 500, 0O0,-
900. The most Of this money has
been raised for schools. church debts.
hospitals, homes for the aged and young
and missions. The West Va. Con-
ference Seminary has received of this
amount 800, 900 giving much need
ed help to this youngest but most
successful school. Because OF the
great educational and church enter
prlses the fund for the wornout
preachers has been neglected.
DR.. Compton came before his con-
gregation with two propositions. A
friend had promised to duplicate any;
amount he might raise and give dollar
for dollar up to $1,000. Another
friend had offered to be one OF four to
give 1926. 90 each. Under the inspira-
tion OF these splendid offers the con-
gregation with two generous sub
scriptions for friends, raised enough
to make the total under these propo-
sitions amount to five hundred dol.
liars. The response If the people was
cheerful and liberal, and at the close
the doxnlogy was sung with rejoicing.
| II is the purpose Of Rev. Compton TO
appeal TO the Methodist laymen Of
THE State to meet the first proposition
given above, and so raise $4,000, 90 fo'
! this most worthy fund. Help him.

MORE RAILROAD
Another new Line Projected in
Greene County.

|
n ill run From Connellsville to Wheel
ing-Big Party Of Surveyors hav,
begun Preliminary work Semethin,
Of Plans Of the Road Back Of hem.
II Greene county doesn't have a rail
road before mauy moons, an unheard
of lot Of useless and hluffing surveying
viii leave the people over their anger
and the fortunes OF the narrow ssgouge !
More lines have been surveyed than
In any other county on the continent
for its size.
| Since the Wabash seems sssured,
the z. r. and the B. s. o. want to
get In. The latest rumor is the re-
ported scheme OF the B. & o. to con-
struct road from Wheeling to the
Fayette county coke region by way OF
the Greene county capital, aud they
have authorized survey of the route.
In pursuance OF this order issued
from headquarters corps of Is en-
gineers sent out by the Baltimore and
Ohio company were in Washington
today, says the Observer, enroute to
Waynsburg where the work Of running
a line through the territory mentioned
will be started at once. The corps
was in charge Of sub-chief, the chief
engineer having gone to Wayneshurg
Tuesday to make preliminary arrange
ments for the commencement or the
work. Work will be started today on
the survey and it will be pushed to-
uua ri wy aalinU nc 70 pidtv ae v,,se;l,1o
The proposed route between Wheel
ing and the coke region will mean
much to Wheeling, Waynesburg and
the coke manufacturers. For years
Wheeling has been clamoring for a
short line through to the coke region
as the route at present traversed to
secure the necessary coke for use in
the Nail City and the west Is long
round about one and the transporta-
tion expense is resultantly high. The
coke transported through to the west
is hauled by way OF Glenwood over
the B. & o. road a distance of lis
miles. 1t is hoped by building A
short cut to secure a shorter and
much cheaper route. The proposed
line 1t is believed will shorten the
present route so miles.
The Baltimore and Ohio company
at present has completed lines radiat-
ing from Uniontowp tc near the Mon
ongahela river at Masontown through
the heart Of the coke region at point
almost opposite Waynesburg. BY
bridging the Monongahela near Ma
sontown and running a line to Way
nes5urg and from there to Wheeling
route IS miles long from the Mon
ongahela river to Wheeling will be
secured.
This route will also give Waynes-
burg an outlet both east and west aud
will open Greene county's vast coal
fields. The plan OF the Baltimore and
Ohio company is believed to have been
matured as result OF the contempla-
ted entrance OF the Wabash into
Greene county. Waynesburg may Sc
cure both roads. The survey OF the
proposed line 1t is said, will be pushed
forward rapidly and as soon as the
portion from Waynesburg to Wheel
ing is surveyed the line will be run
from the Greene county capital T. the
Monongahela river.

WRECK WAS A BAD ONE.
Double Header Left the Track and
Tore it up Badly.

The wreck at Cans on Saturday
was worse than reported. The train
which was wrecked was double
header. Both engines left the track,
One went on one side and the other
one went the other way. A broken
rail caused the wreck. Twenty five
cars were broken up
The passenger train was ten min
utes late or it would have been along
on the freight trains time. Had il
struck the broken rail the results
might have been very serious as there
were lots of passengers on the trian.
They got here about seven O'Clock OF
Saturday evening having transferred
to train made up ia Eaifmont ant
sent down 10 the afternoon.
