MORGANTOWN MEN WIN.
Suit Against the Brownsville
Glass Co. Ended

In Utter Discontinue to The Com
plainants-Had Lied to Their own
Attorneys Get off by Withdrawing
Suit and Paying Costs-The big
Glass Works will Begin to Make
Glass at Once.
There has been much talk about
the suit brought by the Appert
Glass company in Pittsburg against
the Brownsville company of Morgan.
town. The matter has ended by an
lgnominious breakdown on the part
of the Appert company. The story
as told in the Pittsburg Post is as
follows:
Attorneys for the Appert Glass
Company, plaintiffs in the sensation
al suit against the members of the
Brownsville Company, charging that
members of the latter concern had
confiscated patents belonging to the
plaintiff company, and for which the
plaintiffs had paid 81, 100000 in
stock, asked permission of the court
yesterday to Withdraw the action,
and pay all costs in the case. Attor
ney Thomas w. Patterson for the
Appert concern, said that in cross
questioning his own witnesses, found
TIL at the defendants had not used
the secret lehr or table alleged, and
that there was nothing to prosecute
them for The action of the Appert
company in the first instance, when
the suit was brought, created much
surprise, owing to its sensational
character and their sudden termin-
alton of the case, caused no less sur
prise when it became known.
The end of the suit means much
to the Brownsville company. That
corporation is composed of Pitts
burg men largely. j. Ramsey Speer,
is president, and w. l.. Mellon, is
vice president, of the concern 9th
ers connected with it are expert
glass workers. Some time ago, the
company built a new plant at Nor
gantown, w. Va, where it intended
to manufacture wire plate glass.
The glass is made with thin sheet
of wire netting in. the center of it,
and by this means, becomes stronger
than ordinary glass, and in case of
breakage, the broken parts hold to-
gether through the adhesion of the
wire netting.
The charge of the Appert com
pany was that the lehrs and tables
used by the Brownsville company
were stolen devices owned by them.
This was shown by the evidence to
be mistake. 1t is understood that
the Appert company is in the nature
combine. 1t also owns the Mis-
sippi Glass Company, which makes
the same glass and practically con
trolled the wire glass trade of the
country. The Brownsville Company
is the first Independent company to
break into this monopoly
Matters bad gone so far that ar
rangements had been made to start
the Brownsville Companys works to-
morrow. The suit was brought at
time when the last Of the machinery
for the new plant was in Plttsburg
and about to be shipped here. The
suit was to prevent It's use or ship
ment. Now that the case is ended
the officials of the company say that
the original plans will be carried out.
The new plant in Morgantown is
strongly fortified, being near fuel and
raw material of all kinds. 1t has a
fine plant covering three acres Of
ground and abundant capital to carry
on the business. A number of patents
of late date are owned by the new
company and will be developed with
the starting OF the new factory.

RAILS BEING DELIVERED.
Begins to Look like Street Railroad
Frank Pride Distributing rails along
Streets Front Street Already Lined
with Them.

A portion of the $40 tons of steel
rails purchased for the Electric rail-
way have been received here, and are
being delivered by Frank Pride. Many
of the rails have already been un-
loaded along Front street. They
make that street look like cars would
be running there sure enough before
many months.
The rails were sidetracked on the
railroad at Vanvoorhis and delayed
for some time and since their arrival
here the rain and snow has very much
lnterfered with their delivery
1t was expected to begin laying
track by this time but this part of the
work is also necessarily somewhat de-
Iayed. As 1t is however street cars
Will be running here much sooner
than most people have ever expected
they would be in sight.

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
M. c. Davis Caught in Revolv-
ing Shaft.

Both Arms and Legs BrOken-lnjuries
Received Saturday at Brownsville
Wire Glass Factory He Dies Satur-
day Night Home in FairmOnt.
A very sad accident at the Browns
vile Wire Glass factory Saturday cost
M. G. Davis Of Fairmont his life.
Davis was helping TO install some
of the new machinery at the Browns
vile factory at the Pump station.
The men were taking an iron table OF
many tons weight into the factory,
and it was so difficult to move on ac-
count of the great weight, they de-
eided to attach heavy cable to a
revolving shaft in the factory and get
the aid OF the other machinery in
moving the table. The shaft was re-
volying at the rate Of l40 revolutions
a minute. The strong heavy cable
was attached to the shaft, just ready
to begin drawing up the heavy piece
OF machinery, when the rope caught
Mr. Davis clothes. He was quickly
snatehed up by the rapidly revolving
shaft, one arm and one leg were
caught underneath the rope and wrap
ped firmly to the shaft, while the
other arm and leg were left free to
beat against any distractions in the
way.
Thus the unfortunate young man
was hurled around at the rate of lao
revolutions per minute, the free limbs
beating against brace In the frame
of the building at every turn Of the
shaft, while the other limbs were
crushed against the shaft and broken
by the heavy cable. His limbs were
all terribly mutulated and his inter
nal injuries were enough tokill one,
before the fast running machinery
could be stopped.
Mr.. Davis WAS conscious through
it all, however, and thinking that
one arm was not broken remarked
hopefully when he was cut down, that
he had one sound limb left.
DR.. Edmundson was summoned and
the unfortunate man was taken to the
City Hospital Fhe accident occur
red at O'Clock Saturday evening, and
at 8 o'clock the same night he was
dead. All was done that surgical
skill could suggest, but he never re-
covered from the shock. DR.. Ed
mundson called into consultation sew
eral other physicians and surgeons.
The injuries were so serious, however,
that fatal result was inevitable.
The young man was "a years old
and unmarried. He had been work
ing at the factory here as general help
for about three months. His home
was Ia Fairmont. His brother w.
H. Davis came down in response TO a
telegram Saturday night and took the
remains to Fairmont on the noon
train Sunday The fatal accident is
greatly deplored by the proprietors of
the factory as well as by the friends of
MIR Davis. No one else was hurt
though a number Of men were helping
to move the heavy table into the
factory.

WEST NEWTON A GOOD ONE.
A Local Paper Gives it's Town Good
Send Off.


The West Newton Sun tells the
people of that village how to kill a
town in the following vigorous Ian
guage keep your hands in your
pockets. Don't put out cent for
the benefit of the town. Don't at
tend the political caucuses nor pri-
maries butkeep on growing the year
round about men elected to borough
offices. Buy all your supplies from
peddlers. 1t is folly to patronize a
local trader when there is a peddler
in sight. To do such thing might
give the local man enough money to
pay his taxes and rent The ped
dlers don't have taxes and rent to
pay, therefore patronize them all you
can. Don't subscribe tor The Sun
for you can borrow it from a neigh
Dor, or you can slip into nearby
barber shop and read copy there.
If you have a house for sale or
rent don't pay The Sun quarter
for advertising it: write dozen no
tices and tack them up on telephone
poles of the town. Keep mp this
course TOR about five Yeas more and
the best piece OF real estate in the
borough will surely be sold for about
five cents foot.
