err Encouragement it will Come.
The Unlontown Evening Genius
of Saturday says At the request of
a number of prominent citizens,
who are anxious to secure better
railroad facilities for Uniontown, A.
nj. Neeper, Esq, of Pittsburg, attor-
ney for the Green County railroad,
and who also represents the Pitts
burg, Toledo d Western railroad, a
Wabash enterprise came here last
evening and met some of our capital
lists at the office of A. p Austin,
Esq, and discussed with them the
conditions under which a competed
line would be built to this place.
Mr.. Neeper stated that Fayette
county and Unlontown could have
a first class railroad with eastern
and western connections, provided
sufficient inducements were offered.
He said that the contemplating
road through Washington and
Greene counties would not be ex-
tended to this place unless the eiti-
zens of this county were willing to
lend their aid to the project, that it
was for them to say whether or not
they wanted the road.
Those present were of one opinion
as to the desirability of having the
road come here and volunteered their
assistance, financial and otherwise,
to help along the movement. In or
der to ascertain the sentiment of the
public on the matter it was decided
to call a meeting of the citizens in a
few days and see what they are will

enterprise is shown the railroad can
be secured. 1t is now up to us

In the circuit court here Judge
Faulkner rendered decision in the
case of J. n. Camden vs. w S. Dew
ing and others which disposes Of a
case that has been pending for years
in various courts OF West Virginia
The suit was originally brought in
Greenbrier county for the purpose of
having the court determine whether
the plaintiff had any right to part of
certain lands purchased by the de
PENDANTS in Greenbrier and other
counties. Some time ago the case
was removed to this court for trial
and decree was entered establish
ing Camden's right to land claimed
by him, but the cause was referred
to a commissioner to ascertain what
price he should pay for the same, the
taxes, expenses, etc. Commissioner
A. G. Nadenbousch made this report
and from it no exceptions were lax
en-. The report was filed and con
firmed by the court.
Several minor questions were de-
cided by the court as to fees, etc,
but the important part of the decree
was that upon the payment of 49,
704 05 by Camden, the defendants or
commissioner appointed for that
purpose should make to him deed
for the several tracts of land in contro-
versy, aggregating l3, 1916 acres.

THINKS YOUNG WILL SUICIDE.
Captain Titus Believes Murderer Of
Mrs. Pulitzer Fled to Vicinity
of Canarsie, l., |.

New York, Sept 22-The search
wanted for the murder of Mrs. Joseph
Pulitzer, whose mutilated body was
found floating in the abandoned Nor
ris canal, near Jersey City, Thursday
morning last. had, up to a late hour
yesterday, been unavailing. The po-
lice forces of this and the surround
ing boroughs have been bending all
energies and running down all clews
which come TO them to locate Young.
The chief development of the day
Sunday came from Brooklyn, and it
leads the police to believe that the
fugitive has escaped to the vicinity OF
Canarsie. L. |. Captain Titus, of the
detective bureau, is inclined to be-
lieve that Young, finding all avenues
of final escape shut off, has fed to
this spot on the Long Island coast to
commit suicide. The captain ordered
special force Of detectives to
Carnarsie to conduct thorough
search of the neighborhood
The story of this clew is that late
Saturday night a man supposed to
have been Young was seen in lodg-
ing house in Brooklyn. When he ap.
piled for a room he was told there
was none vacant, and he was forced
TO be satisfied with a chair Soon
afterward he became nervous and
arose to his feet Some of those in
the room arose simultaneously. Then
the stranger dashed down the back
stairs Of the hotel to the yard with
some of the dodgers after him, Vault
ing the back fence closely pursued,

stranger halted, drew revolver and

some few who were on the inside

doings maintained all along that the
Wabash was engineering the survey

citizenship will heartily welcome the
