Arrangement Between That City and
Morgantown-Pla Endorsed Here
Other Fairmont News Notes of Inter-
est.
Fairmont people are getting busy
to get better schedule on the F.,
M. & P. They have the endorsement
of people living in Morgantown but
it is hard to believe that anything
will be done by the B. & O.. that will
relieve the state of affairs at present
existing. The plan proposed is a
very feasible one and it is one that
would help very much. A special
letter telling of the matter is as fol-
lows:
A petition asking for improved
train service between this city and
Morgantown and signed by all of the
leading business men of this place
has been handed to Passenger Agent
Henderson of the Baltimore d Ohio
and he will forward it Immediately
to the office at Baltimore.
The present passenger service is
very bad for Fairmont in every par
ticular. There is no train by which
the people living at the mining towns
down the river can come here and
shop and get home on the same day,
and in number of other ways the
schedule is inconsistent. The petit
ton asks that the train that arrives
in Morgantown at about 5 in the
evening be run through 90 this place
and that it will leave here at a very
early hour for Pittsburg.
A night train to leave this for place
Morgantown and to return in the
morning is also wanted. As the
Spring schedule takes effect in few
weeks the business men of the city
took the action named above. Nor
gantowners who travel in this direc-
ton are heartily in favor Of the pro
posed trains, and it is said that a
similar petition is being circulated
down there.
Local patrons of that branch OF the
road say that two.thirds of the bust
ness is done by this city and vlcini-
ty, aud that it deserves a more de
sirable arrangement
A crazy man in the first ward
scared the residents over there by
his wild antics. .Hatless be ran from
one end to the other of the suspen-
sion bridge for nearly an hour. A
posse was organized to capture him
and the city police finally joined the
crowd, but they were unable to get
hands on him, and about nine o'clock
he took to the hills back Of the town.
An institute for the farmers of
Marion county will be held at Rives-
vile. near here, on March % and 26,
and very fine program of an inter
esting and instructive nature has
been arranged for it.
A case that would have been of
much interest was settled out of
court. A few nights ago we'll
known sport of the city presented to
Colonel b. G. Williams of the Tav-
ern number of checks which were

man then proceeded to the bank
where the checks were drawn and
drew out all that he had deposited
there. When Colonel Williams pre-
sented the checks they were refused.
The young man was arrested, but
the affair was compromised by the
full payment of the amount of the
checks.
A club of we'll known men has
been formed in this city to promote
the sport of fox hunting. The mem
bers of the organization own quite
large pack of splendid dogs. The
first chase took place few nights
ago, but the club met with reverse
luck and the trail was dropped be-
fore the fox was killed
