POST OFFICE MATTERS.
u. S. Marshal Didn't Catch His
Expected Quarry.

Coal Miner Uses Mails Improperly
And Uncle sam is After Him-Big.
gest Business Ever Done in Local
Office is Recorded In Last Two Quar-
ters.
United States Marshall Daniel
Jackson, Of Kingwood, has been IN
Morgantown on official business con-
nected with the Postoffice department.
1t seems that fellow who has been
employed at the Fulmer coal mines
near Easton has been sending matter
through the mail which Is contrary to
the rules and regulations OF the de-
partment.
The Marshall was here to investi-
gate the matter and would probably
have made the arrest OF the guilty
party had he not gotten word or
warning. Postmaster Fitch telephon-
ed to the mines and asked in regard
to certain man being In their en-
ploy and If he was at work. The an
swer was In the affirmative.
Marshall Jackson left Immediately
for the coal mines, but on his arrival
the man wanted had taken his de-
parture. Postmaster Fitch, when
asked about the man. stated that he
had nothing for publication and re-
fused to reveal the name of the sup
posed guilty party. Every effort will
be exerted TO capture the man who
has run up against Uncle Sans laws
and has acted contrary to his regula-
tions.
The indications for this year at the
local postoffice are that the business
will far exceed any previous year in
the history of the Office. This is very
evident the town is progressing and
moving to the front. The business
this year, il the past may be taken as
a standard the department will do a
business of $l6, 900 or ST., 900.
For the quarter ending September
80 the receipts were SO, 1886, the
| largest business ever carried on in any
one quarter in the history of the de-
partment. This was in the dull sea-
son, as in the months of July and
August business is slack compared
with the other months OF the year.
The receipts for the quarter ending
June 80 was SO, 481.56, an increase OF
800 over the business transacted In
the same quarter OF 1901.
The receipts are already on the in
crease and there is not town in this
state or any other state of the same
size that is doing anything like the
same business as Morgantown.

TWO CENTS
ART EXHIBIT.
To be Held at Morgantown Pub
lie School.

First Loan Exhibition Ever Brought
to the State--16 Master pieces from
BOston--Exhibit will be Here First
Week in December.
A Loan Art Exhibit, the first ever
brought to West Virginia will be
shown at the Morgantown public
schools the first week in December.
It will probably be here five days,
and every one will have an oppor-
tunity to see the paintings.
There will be 166 pictures in the
collection, all master pieces in the
work OF the artist They have been
loaned by Boston firm for this
occasion. The group has been Sc
lected with view to infusing the
greatest inspiration to culture and
art wherever it is exhibited
Prof Gallup has been DESTROYS
for long time, of securing some
pictures of real merit for the walls
of the public school rooms, and has
been negotiating for loan exhibit
for several months. Recently an OPP
portunity was offered of getting this
collection for a few days the first
week in December, and he made ar
rangements for it at once. 1t is ex-
pected to meet the hearty approval
of all the members of the school
| board.
4
A nominal admission fee of ten
cents will be charged to defray the
expense of getting the loan, and to
raise little money to buy some
paintings for the school rooms. Re.
freshments of ice cream, and cake
will be served at the school building
by the young lady students, assisted
by the boys, while the collection is
on exhibition. 1t is hoped in this
way to make the week social oc-
casiou OF some interest and pleasure
as well as an occasion for the study
of Master pieces of art. A small adj
dition to the fund for buying pict-
ures will thus be made by the stu
dents themselves.
Prof. Gallup hopes to interest the
University Art School in the exhibit
together with all the patrons of the
public school. It will be such col
lection of works of art as you would
go long way to the city to see, and
pay an admission fee of fifty cents
additional.
| An opportunity will probably be
| given for public spirited business
men to contribute some special work
of art TO some department OF the
school Morgantown has many OF
these citizens who will be glad of an
opportunity to add something to the
school whichwill.be of permanent val
ne Jas an inspiration to culture and
| good morals. Works of art are more
than valuable for this purpose.
They are something that will stay
on, and WELD an influence over each
succeeding winter school. Nothing
is more elevating, or adds more to
the attractiveness of school, except
it be the magnetism of the teachers.
This is already supplied and now
what is needed is generous collec-
tion of art works. After we have
the exhibit here for week it will be
hard to get along without securing
some to remain permanently.

during the strife. The organization
will take care of such other men as
are unable to Immediately find work.
1t is estimated that all the strikers
will not find work until two or three
months have elapsed This is due to
the condition of the mines. Some OF
them are wholly or partially flooded
and others need repairs.
1t was a lively day around strike
headquarters. From early morning
until after the announcement was
made that convention would be
called a crowd was congregated at
the place Mr.. Mitchell spent an ex'
tremely busy day. In the morning he
had many callers, who congratulated
him, and in the afternoon he was en-.
gagged with the three district boards.
kilograms of congratulation from all
parts of the country came to the lead
ers of the miners during the day.

MAY SAVE HIS NECK.
Pardon Board recommends com
mutation for Beatty.

It's now up to the G0vern0r--In Case
he Shall Accept the Recommendation
the Preston Murderer Will not Hang
in November.
The West Virginia Pardon Board
was In session at Moundsvllle all day
yesterday with W. W. Brannon, presi-
dent, and P. w. Morris in attendance.
The board acted In several cases, max
ing more favorable recommendations
than is usual with 1T.
D. A. Haines, who was convicted OF
forgery at the September term 1901,
in the circuit court OF Hampshire
county, and sentenced to two years,
confinement in the penitentiary, was
deemed suitable person to receive a
pardon. His pardon was recommend
ed by the officials who presided
at his trial. They favored his pardon
for the reason that he was a youth
when he committed the crime, and
merely forged note Of a man for
So. SO, who owed him that sum.
The board recommended respite
for W. 81. Hardwick, sentenced by
the criminal court of Kanawha county
to be hanged on the 31st day OF Octo-
Der to the 18th day OF November, In
order to have time to examine bis ap-
plication for Communication from the
death penalty to life Imprisonment.
Hardwick was convicted of rape.
In the case of 0. B. Slater, convict
ed In the circuit court OF Randolph
county, at the January term thereof,
of an assault with intent to kill, and
sentenced to three years con-
flnement In the penltentiary. there
was favorable recommendation.
The board again divided on Mat
Shiflet, who is in for jail breaking
from Braxton county, Mr.. Brannon
favoring a pardon and Mr.. Morris op
posing it.
The board also divided on the case
of Charles J. Williams, convicted OF
murder in the first degree and sen,
fenced to life imprisonment, Mr.
Brannon favoring communication to tee
years and Mr.. Morris to twenty years.
In the famous case Of j. Wesley
Beatty, who was convicted in the cir
cult court of Preston county of the
murder of David A. Nine, and is un
der sentence of death, his day OF exc
cution being fixed for the goth day Of
November, the board, after long de
liberation, recommended that The
death penalty be committed to 1mpris
onment for life. Beatty has had q
varied experience since he committed
the terrible crime OF which he was
convicted over two years ago. He
was respited by the governor, refused
favorable recommendation by the par
don board, in which action the gov
ernor also concurred, and his case was
then taken to the supreme court o.
appeals, which affirmed the decision
i of the circuit of Preston county. L
the governor now comedies with thu
pardon board, Beatty's neck will b.
saved.
This is the first time the board ha
recommended communication OF th'
death penalty to life Imprisonment IL
: the three years in which it has beeI
acting, and during which time it ha
had a number of capital cases befor
it. It's chief reason for making
. favorable recommendation on behal
of Beatty at this time was on accoun
of the extra ordinary public sentimen
in favor of this by the people OF Pres
ton county, where the crime was com
mitted.

board are equally divided on any
question In come ction with a settle
ment Mr.. Mitchen, when asked, did
not appear to be sure that he had not,
and other officials of the union were
also uncertain of Mr.. Wrights status.
The matter of the term of years that
the agreement shall. be in force was
also a source of much inquiry. The
union was strongly opposed to the
operators fixing the term of years.
One district president said this fea-
lure had been left to the discretion
of the commission, as suggested in
Mr. Mitchelrs proposition, while other
officials did not know anything about
1t. President Mitchell, for some rea-
son, did not care to discuss any fea-
ture of the arbitration agreement
while the matter was still in the
hands of the miners.
May All Resume by Thursday.
If the plans Of the strike leaders
are not disarranged general resump.

convention will last two days and that
there will be an interval of one day
from the time the convention adjourns
until the time set for the men to &C
back to the mines. If the convention
should be in session on Wednesday
it is probable that resumption would
not take place until Friday. There
will not be much work at first for al
