This morning Mr.. Sturgiss deter
mined to make statement to the
people through the NEW DOMINION.
This was brought about by various
reasons. The statement is as follows:
Details and definite contracts will
probably be closed today that will add
a thousand work people to the popu-
lation Of Morgantown and its immedi-
ate vicinity.
The Rolling Mill Company of
America, a New Jersey Corporation,
with 100000 Of New York capital
behind it, will employ five hundred
workers the first year. and double the
number during the next year. 1t will
make black sheets, tin and tern plates,
and make tin. The works will be To-
Gated on the Beall land, on Decker's
Creek, and will require Ia acres OF
ground for the plant.
The Steel and Iron Aluminium Coat.
ing Company, will locate just below.
probably on the same land, and from
the sheets made by the rolling mill,
will make aluminium coated sheets,
better than galvanized sheets, resist
Ing acids, salts aud moisture; equal
to, and for certain uses, better than
tin. This company will occupy five
acres and employ about one hundred
work people.
The American Locomobile Works
will locate near the last named Com
pany, with capital of $3.50, 900 and
employ one hundred and fifty people.
The Company has perfected gasoline
and steam mobile, said by experts to
be peculiarly well adapted to country
roads, and general uses. Senator Elk
ms has contracted to take the first
machine turned out by the company.
West Virginia Plate Glass Company
will put up plant, costing about
5000. 900 and employing the first year
about one hundred and fifty men, and
increase it to two hundred and fifty
the second year. This will be the
first plate glass plant in the State,
and will be located on the w. T. Har-
ner land.
All these corporations have been at
tracted here by the cheap coal and gas
for 1uel; the excellent charter of the
sand, limestone, and other raw mater
ials used ia building and operating,
and the very low rates of freight con.
coded by The M. & K. X. r. but above
all they have neen inspired with conf
dence OF fail treatment by the people

and Connellsville that have lost man.

ANOTHER VICTORY.
Wisconsin Defeated in Splendid
Game on Wednesday.

Washer Pitched Fine Game-W. v.
u. FELL on the Star Twirler or the
West and Sent him to the Bad-De-
tails Of the Contest From our Special
Correspondent.
Special to the New Dominion.
MADISON, Wis, May 10 West Vir.
GINA University surprised the natives
here yesterday and they have not yet
recovered from the shock. The crack
Wisconsin team was defeated by a
score OF eleven TO nine.
What makes the defeat all the more
surprising is that it is the second
time tnat it has been defeated this
season and that it is the admitted
champion of the west.
All OF the runs of the Wisconsin's
were due to errors on the part of the
West VIrginians who piled up ten
errors. The hits were thirteen and
eight.
Washer was at his best and pitched
star game through the whole con-
test but on several occasions let down
for a little while. He received rot
ten support.
A big crowd was present and rooted
hard for the locals but their efforts
amounted to nothing. In the fifth
inning six hits were landed by the
West Virginians and Richardson the
star twirler of the west was sent tc
the high brush in disgrace.
