Big Fire at InwOod.

The fine Touring mill at Inwood,
owned by Warne and Neel, was en-
tirely destroyed by fire Friday eve
ming.
1T was one of the best mills in the
county, was almost new and the loss
will probably reach $4,000 partially
covered by insurance. A large guam
THY of wheat, oats, and corn was
burned, much of which was stored in
the mill by farmers in the neighbor-
hood, of Inwood, and will entail a loss
of several hundred dollars on each of
many farmers.
The cause of the fire is supposed to
have been hot box in some of the
machinery in the upper story of the
mill, as the fire broke out near the
roof.
The mill was running when the fire
was discovered about 1880 o'clock in
the evening Everything around there
was very hot for two hours and for a
time it was feared that the school
house would burn, but the isolated
position of the mill saved other build
ings from, taking fire.

$2,OOO.OOO,OOO In Cereal Crops.

1t is estimated that the farmers of
the United States will receive two bill
lion dollars for the cereal crops OF this
season. 1t is believed that the crops
Of wheat, corn, and rye will be the
heaviest in the history of the farming
states. A few districts have been
thrown out of the markets for the year
by the heavy rains and destructive
floods, but in most of the states the
conditions are favorable to the heaviest
yield on record.
This is not the estimate of speculat-
orS or of the farmers themselves, but
of the statisticians and of the railroad
managers who are preparing to move
the crops. Last year the partial fail
ure of the corn crop was serious mat
ter to the railways. This year the
managers of all the railway lines
traversing the wheat and corn dis
tricts are making preparations to meet
the unusual demand for transportation
to Chicago and the seaboard.
AS usual, prosperous conditions for
the farmers mean prosperous condi-
tions for the people at large. A few
years ago the question of money to
move the crops was always serious
one, but now the money is ready on
demand, and will go into the hands of
the farmers when they are ready to
sell.

On Sunday last the local G.. A r.,
post at Bloomington, ILL.,, ran an
excursion to Lafayette for the purpose
of visiting the Indiana Soldiers Home.
Two members of the Illinois legiSlat-
ure accompanied the excursion, the
main object of which was to investi-
gate the plan of having husbands and
wives live together at the home in
separate cottages. In Illinois the
veteran goes to one home and his wife
to another. The visit to the home at
Lafayette resulted in unanimous ver-
dict in favor of the Indiana plan, and
the next legislature will be urged to
introduce it in Illinois.

Improvements Planned for the Branch
Cut on TO be Constructed Through
the First Ward of Fairm0nt Broken
Rail Near Little Falls.
The Pittsburg Dispatch contains
the following which is of great in
terest:
Steps were taken yesterday by the
directors of the Fairmont, Morgan
town d Pittsburg railroad, which is
the property of the B. & O. railroad,
to relieve the congestion In the Fair
mont yards. Conditions there are
said to be serious, and the board
was called together to authorize i'm
provements to the yards. The meet
lug was held in the office of General
Superintendent L. G. Haas, OF the
b. d o., and was attended by the
following members: Colonel vii.
liam Hanway, Baltimore; William
Hunt, Uniontown; Henry G. Hus-
ton, Connellsville; A. Fairchild
Morgantown; F. NJ Osborne, Pitts
burg; and w. G. Pressing, Pitts
burg.
The amount of the expenditures
was not given out. The improve
ments are to be made in the Fair
mont yards and include a cut of
of several miles in length.
The Fairmont, Morgantown d
Pittsburg railroad extends from
Connellsyille to Morgantown and is
large factor in freight receipts OF
the B. Il O. system. 1t was former
ly known as the old State Line road.
and now includes the Fayette City
branch.
The local B & O. yards are the
scene of much activity and hun
dreds of men are employed in max
ing the numerous improvements re-
Gently contracted for. Down on the
Jack farm a large force is engaged
in the construction of the round
house while the usual number oil
men are engaged in erecting OF the
abutments for the railroad bridge

Out near the F. M. & P ties are
being laid on the ground recently
graded and several tracks will be
laid there this week
The big stone retaining wall is
being rushed and this will be one Of
the most important of all the i'm
provements that are contracted for.
A Waterman on the +. NJ. & p
branch at Little Falls discovered a
broken rail just north of that sta
tion this morning in time to flag the
south bound passenger train. The
train was delayed short time while
the track was made passable.

TROLLEY COMING.
Pittsburg Times Again Says That 1t
is Certain That Lines VIII be Built.

Some time ago it will be remem
bered that the Pittsburg Times had
long article about trolley lines
through this section connecting
Uniontown, Morgantown, Fairmont,
and other towns in this state with
Pittsburg.
On last Saturday still more facts
in connection with the plans were
given. The article in question was
as follows:
1t will not be a wild-eyed dream
to say that within very short time
say three years-Pittsburg and
Wheeling will be connected by troll
ley. Extending from Wheeling to
ward Pittsburg there is now IN oper-
alton trolley road whose cars run
this way almost as far as West Al
exander and whose tracks are now
in process of extension toward Claws
vile and Washington, Pa From
the latter point west there is already
road in operation, and this same
road is now completing the construe-
tion of tracks to Canonsburg, from
where the object is to eventually ex
tend them toward Pittsburg. The
same company which controls this
road has already completed its plans
for the extension of the road TO
Waynesburg, and it is probable that
within a short while Waynesburg
will be connected with Morgantown
and other West Virginia towns IN
that section of the state, as the com
pany to build this line was organ
lied and fully capitalized some time
ago, when it was noted in the Times.
With the completion of these lines
Pittsburg and number OF impor
tant West Virginia towns will have
direct connection by trolley.

Coal Production Increasing.

Government figures, prepared by The
geographical survey. makes West Vir-
ginia the third coal producing state,
both IN quantity and value Of product.
In | 900 West Virginia produced the
third largest quantity of coal, but its
value was below that of Ohio. The
coal output of West Virginia in 1901
was "a, 056, 398 short tons, valued at
$40, 836, $50, being over Four hundred
thousand tons more than produced 10
1900 Thir aggregate was 81 per cent
of the total product of the United
States. Ohio's product was but IL
per cent. West Virginia producing
3, 267, 991 tons more than the latter
state. OF the total product 1851,
500 tons were loaded at the mines for
shipment and 1878, 229 tons made in
TO coke. The average price per ton, ST
cents, is the highest ever obtained in
the state. In 1900 it was 81 cents and
the year preceding only SO cents.
During the year West Virginia mines
employed on an average of 30, 800 men,
working 2l9 men, more men than were
employed in any one year before. The
use of machinery in mining is rapidly
spreading, 400 machines being used
last year. against 327 in 1900. These
machines mined Also, 346 tons,
against 3,418,377 tons the preceding
year. Sixteen mines reported strikes
in which / 1888 men participated La
! 900 IL mines reported 1888 strikers.
The coal district Of West Virginia
now covers approximately sixteen
thousand square miles.

SIGNING THE SCALE.
Miners are Going Back to Work -Agi.
tatOrs Being Given Good jobs.

A special from Clarksburg about the
coal strike brings encouraging news
as to the probable ending OF the
strike. 1t is as follows:
The general belief here is that the
coal strike will soon be thing of the
past. Yesterday the Merchants Coal
Company at Tunnelton signed the
scale and the union men will go to
work in the morning The capacity
of the plant will be doubled. William
Warner formerly an organizer, is now
the uperintendent. The coal COM
pany at Newburg also signed the
scale, and the men viii return in the
morning. The two plants work about
$50 miners.
