IONRY TO STRIKERS
port That One or Two
Mines May Resume
satisfaction Over Distribution Of
ieIief Disappears and Men Settle
Down for 3 Long Siege

,Nilkesbarre, Aug. 1.-THE four
smith week of the anthracite miners
ike began today President Mitch
is authority for the statement, that
strikers are in good shape Contri-
tons to the relief fund are coming
Z from many quarters now and the
satisfaction which was evinced over
D distribution has now disappeared
4 the strikers have settled down to
at they believe is going to be much
lger siege than was first anticipated.
4 4 $40, 900 contribution from the Bro
lrhood OF Railway Trainmen is ex-
ted by tho strikers within the next
IA days. It is said 400 lodges will
ltribute $500 each. Other railway
)therhoods are expected to follow
IL.
While the strike leaders are inclined
throw cold water on all reports that
attempt may be made TO resume
ming at an early day IN the Wyoming
don, II would not be at all surpris-
should one or two Of the mines in
section be started up this week.
Q same story has been told for weeks
1t but there Is a well authenticated
)ort in circulation that the Lehigh
4. Wilkesbarre Coal Company may
1T up work at It's Wanamie colliery
ne day this week. At the Office of
, company, however, those in charge
use TO give out any information.
! 4 generafrevi Of the whole strike
don shows that unless the operators
1 break the ranks Of the strikers by
.rting up a colliery here and there,
3 men will be in condition to remain
/ for some time yet. The amount of
ief TO be distributed will not satisfy
but the miners sesm 10 be willing
make some sacrifices in that diree-
n in the hope that eventually they
Il win.

PLANS NEARLY READY.
Contracts for Power House to be Let
Soon as Franchise is Amended.

Chief Engineer Webb and his eff
cient corps of surveyors have gotten
the plans about completed for the
power house of the Electric and
Traction Company. The specitica-
tions will be completed, and if the
city council acts favorably to the
company on the proposed amend
ments to the franchise, contracts
can be let very soon for the power
house and machinery. A great deal
of work has been done in making
surveys, taking elevations, measuring
grades and making maps for con
tours, etc
The principal routes to be traversed
by the electric road have been sur
veyed as far out as the Rolling Mill
Co.'S works up Decker's creek. The
route to be followed by the road has
not been definitely settled and it will
not be built until the franchise
amendments are acted upon. A
special meeting is called for pext
Friday night to act upon the amend
ments.
The first thing TO be done as soon
as the franchise is satisfactory will
be to erect suitable power house
and fully equip a modern and ell
Gent electric light plant, that may
be depended upon all the year
round for electric light Of sufficient
strength for any use. The service
furnished by the old electric plant
has been bad, as the company says
and they desire to improve it soon
as possible. 1t was necessary, how
ever, to determine what power was
necessary to operate street car
system before building the electric
light plant so as not to build too
small or too great.
1t is expected to have street cars
running within year from this
time.

RACING STOPPED.
License of Steam Boat Captains aud
Pilots Suspended.

Since the racing contests have be-
come so common on the Monongahela
river between rival packet companies,
the captain of the |. G. Woodward of
the old line made complaint TO the
government of the action OF the cap,
tain OF the Elizabeth which belongs
to the competing company. The
Elizabeth had been getting most Of
the trade and on one certain memoir
able occasion when she was crowded
10 lock No 8 by the Woodward the
latter got orders from headquarters at
Pittsburg to back out and let the
Elizabeth through first
In reply to the complaint made to
the government Shy Capt. Abrams of
the Woodward the following decision
and order is reported
In regard TO the Woodward Eliza
beth case the United States local in
spectors have suspended the license Of
Captain r. r. Abrams 20 days and
Pilot Frank Williams Is days OF the
steamer Woodward, and Frank l..
Canoe 20 days and pilot James |. Boyd
80 days of the steamer Elizabeth.
The suspension according to report
goes into effect on the Goth instant.
This will probably stop the racing
for the present at least. The old line
has new steamer in the service now,
the Edgar Cherry. One OF these
leaves half hour or more ahead of
the other. Still the Elizabeth is said
to be the fastest boat and she gets her
share of passengers.
The steamboats, have been doing a
fine business to this place this sum-
mer.

WILL WELCOME THE WABASH
lit will be Of Immense value TO this
State.

One of the greatest things that
ever happened for the state of West
Virginia is the determination OF the
Clouds to push their railroad into this
state. The northern portion Of West
Virginia has been dominated and con-
trolled and almost owned for years by
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The
development of the resources OF the
state has been subjected to its dictates.
1t has retarded and held back the
work OF development; 1t has discrim-
mated against the people of this state:
1t has arbitrarily favored some sec
lions and hampered others. Business
along its line has been subject to its
whims and its vacillating policies have
kept the situation one of constant un-
rest. The state has grown, its re-
sources have been developed, its bust
ness increased, 1t is true, because it
could not be helped, but the growth
and prosperity have been nothing as
compared TO what they would have
been under other circumstances. For
nearly half century the b. & o. has
has had its own way in West Virgin
ia. But deliyerance is ia sight. Full
~ approaching the wealth OF the
state, the conditions which exist and
the opportunities which are afforded,
the Gould and their associates have
plunged boldly into this state and will
contend with the b. & o. for the con-
troll of the business of West Virginia.
Not only will they build a through
line east and west through the state,
but they will parallel every important
branch OF the b. & o.
The positive assurance now given
that they will build line from Pitts
burg to their main line In this state
explains numerous large land sales
and railroad surveys, which have been
made. Their line will follow the west
bank of the Monongahela to Fairmont
and the west banks of the Tygarts
Valley and Buckhannon rivers to
Buekhannon where 1t will connect
with the main line. Surveys have
been made along the whole route and
thousands of acres OF coal lands all

recently by parties who are now known
to have been representing Gould In
terests. This means that the work,of
development will Immediately follow
the construction of the Wabash lines,
that TIE B. & o. will be forced into a
healthy competition; that it will be
forced to give fair rates to the people
of the state and will be compelled to
assist.in its development and up build.
ing, instead Of holding it back, as it
has done. It means that West Vir-
ginia will be freed from tho control OF
the B. & @. road. The Gould should
be welcomed with open arms and hail
ed as the deliverers of the state from
railroad tyranny and monopoly. The
people OF West Virginia should do all
in their power to aid in the Gould en-
terprise and to facilitate the con-
struction of their various lines.

HELD FOR COURT
We're two MEN for Ri0t0us Conduct on
a Train.

Yesterday B. & o. policeman Henry
Lowney brought two men named
John O'Hare and James Dunn from
Fairmout charged with riotous con-
duct on the train Saturday night.
The men were bricklayers and had
been working in Pennsylvania but
were en- route to Fairmont where they
had obtained employment. Both were
under the influence of liquorland soon
after the train left Morgantown they
attacked Andy Young a respectable
colored man of this place and conelud-
ed they would kill him. Andy didn't
want TO fight but was compelled TO
defend himself. The parties kept up
their racket all the way up terrifying
passengers until the train reached the
junction at the bridge where officer
Downey boarded it and put the men
under arrest. They were kept in Jail
until Monday when they were brought
here and given a hearing before Squire
Hayes and were held for the grand
Jury in October. They wanted TO
fight the case and call in Attorney f.
G. Donley but the evidence was SO
strong against them that there was no
escape. Not having any money or
friends they were sent TO jail to wait
until court. On numerous occasions
passengers have been annoyed by such
characters on trains and the B. & O..
authorities are determined to break it
up.

WABASH COMING.
Authoritative Announcement
of its Plans.
Trunk Line to be Built from Pittsburg
South next Spring Morgantown TO
be on the ine-Conflrmation Of
Story Obtained from Local People.

Story Obtained from Local People.
Talk OF the coming OF the Wabash
is being revived. The latest reports
bear the impress Of probability. A
circumstantial story has been given ia
one Of the Pittsburg papers telling
where the road is TO go and who Is
backing it. The story states that one
OF the lines is to come through this
county and extend to the southwark
from Morgantown.
The story is to the fleet that the
system is to build into the Fayette
and Greene county coal fields. IL
starts from Pittshurg through Wash
ington and Wayneshurg and then
westward across the river into the
Klondyke and Uniontown.
At lock s the road branches and one
stem comes up the river to the mouth
of Dents Run where It joins a road
already chartered running TO Fair
mont. There it connects with the
Buckhannon and Northern and joins
the West Virginia Central at Buck
harmon.
Morgantown is Ia accordance with
this story to be located on the Wa
bash. The road is TO be built in the
next year. 1t is stated that from ten
to twelve million dollars will be ex-
pended on the road
Aside from the story which bears
the impress OF truth confirmation OF
it has been received from local par
ties. A gentleman who is in posi-
tion to know but who does not wish
to be quoted states that be has been
informed by those back of the plan
that the announcement is correct.
Morgantown is certain TO have rail-
road competition and the growth OF
the town will be greatly helped from
this quarter. The Wabash will be
great factor in The growth Of the Sec
tion through which it passes and
everyone is delighted to know that it
is coming.
