APPEALS TO PUBLIC.
Caleb Powers Says Letters Sent Out
in His Behalf Are Genuine.

Georgetown, KY, Dec. 29.-Ex-Sec-
Rotary of State Caleb Powers, who has
had two trials and now awaits in jail
here his third trial for completely in
the murder Of the late Governor VIII
liam Goebel, yesterday issued the fol-
lowing appeal to the public:
Il have recently had written a num-
Der of letters to different states, ask
ing for financial aid in my coming
trial for alleged completely in the Goe-
bel murder. A portion of the press
has, through misunderstanding Of
the facts, attempted to thwart my plan
for raising the much-needed money
with which to defend myself by cir
culating a report that these letters
were not genuine, because signed by
different persons for me. 1t is true
that many of the letters were signed
by different persons, because it was
impossible for one person to send
them out in the limited time before
my next trial. but all Of these letters
are genuine. | have been continuous
ly in the jails of this state for nearly
three years My means are exhaust
ed. The generosity of Kentucky has
been taxed to the utmost in my former
so-called trials. In a few weeks | am
again to be tried for my life, hence
my appeal now to my friends outside
Of Kentucky"

WRECK WAS A BAD ONE.
Double Header Left the Track and
Tore 1t up Badly.

The wreck at Cans on Saturday
was worse than reported. The train
which was wrecked was double
header. Both engines left the track.
One went on one side and the other
one went the other way. A broken
rail caused the wreck. Twenty five
cars were broken up.
The passenger train was ten min
utes late or it would have been along
on the freight trains time. Had 1t
struck the broken rail the results
might have been very serious as there
were lots of passengers on the TRAN.
They got here about seven o'clock on
Saturday evening having transferred
to train made up in Fairmont and
sent down in the afternoon.

PROF. ROSS DEAD.
Principal of rairmont Normal
Died Suddenly.

Few People Knew He was Ailing Had
Been Sick for some Time-Illness
Took Turn for the Worst and In a
Very Short Time He had Passed
Away.
Prof Marcus Ross head of the
Fairmont Normal is dead of apop
lexy. He has been receiving treat
ment for some time for illness but
no one knew that he was seriously
i'll and many heard Of it for the first
time when they heard the news of
his death.
He was taken sick in the night
and came into the room OF Prof. +.
f. Mercer saying that he was very
sick. Three physicians were sum-
moned at once. Prof. Ross got bet
Ter and they left. Shortly after
wards he took turn Tor the worst
and before any of the doctors could
be summoned he was dead.
Prof Ross was appointed to his
position as principal of the Normal
in 1891 and has been quite success
full in it. He has recently been over
the state in an effort TO enlist the
board of regents Of tho Normal in
the efforts to get dormitory for
girls. In this he succeeded.
He was native of Marion county
having been son of the late u. ID.
Ross of Winfield district. All of
the teachers of the Normal were sum-
moned TO attend the funeral which
took place on Monday. There were
short services at the Peoples TEN
pie on Sunday.
The death of Prof. Ross was
caused by apoplexy which was
brought on by oyer work and anea-
mia.
In his death the state loses one
who bid fair to take high standing
among its educators. His friends
in this county were shocked to hear
of the sad event.

ed Mine Workers OF Illinois, in state
ment yesterday. said that the miners
of the United States will make a de.
mand for material increase in wages

apolis, on Jan. 10. Mr.. Ryan says
that the operators are receiving O
larger price for coal than ever before

cost of mining ton Of coal and give
the public an idea of the profit being
reaped by the operators, Mr. Ryan

Free Newspaper List.

Why should people look for free
newspapers any more than they look
for free cigars, free umbrellas, free
walking sticks, free collars, free cuffs.
or free steak? Every copy of a news
paper is product which costs money.
The tailor, the tohacconist, the gents
furnisher or the grocer is not called
upon to supply free copies of the pro-
duets which they handle The peo-
pie who are aggrieyed If they cannot
get a free copy Of newspaper would
not think of struggling for place on
the free list of a grocery store, dry
goods store or butchers shop. 1t is
the principle more than the cost of
the free newspaper idea which is re-
pugnant to all sound business notions.

FINE COLLECTION.
M. Il. Congregation does Nobly GU
Special Fund Sunday.

Yesterday was the day appointed by
the Bishops of M e. church for rails,
ing money for the Permanent Fund
for the Wornout Ministers. Fer
three years the Methodist church has
been engaged in raising goth Cen
tury offering and has succeeded in
raising the enormous sum $40, 000,-
600. I he most OF this money has
been raised for schools. church debts,
hospitals, homes for the aged and young
and missions. The West Va. Con-
ference Seminary has received Of this
amount 800, 900 giving much need
ed help to this youngest but most
successful school. Because of the
great educational and church enter
prlses the fund for the wornout
preachers has been neglected.
DR.. Compton came before his con-
gregation with two propositions. A
friend had promised TO duplicate any
amount he might raise and give dollar
for dollar up to $1,000. Another
friend had offered to be one of four to
give $25. 90 each. Under the inspira-
zion of these splendid offers the con-
gregation with two generous sub
scriptions for friends, raised enough
to make the total under these propo-
sitions amount to five hundred dol
lars. The response of the people was
cheerful and liberal, and at the close
the doxology was sung with rejoicing.
1t is the purpose of Rev. Compton to
appeal to the Methodist laymen Of
the State to meet the first proposition
given above, and so raise $4,000. 90 for
this most worthy fund. Help him.

TWO CENTS
MONUMENT FOR FRUM.
Will Mark His Resting Place
IN Connellsville.

Body Cannot be Removed In Accor-
dance with the Law on that Subject
- Loving Hands will Rear Imposing
Shaft to His Memory Movement
well Under way.
A special from Connellsville says
The friends OF the late Floyd N
Frum, who died from hemoragic
smallpox in quarantine here two
weeks ago, will be compelled by the
Board of Health to allow his re-
mains to rest in Hill Grove Genet
cry, where .key were buried under
such sad circumstances. A beauti-
full monument, erected by the rela-
tiyes and friends of the dead, will
mark the grave.
1t has been the hope of Mr.. Frum's
family, ever since they heard of his
untimely death, to take the remains
South for re-interment. The laws
of the State would allow this at
the expiration of one year, If the
body was removed under the most
strict sanitary conditions. The 10
.cal health laws, however, positively
forbid the exhuming of a corpse in.
fected with smallpox.
Section 3 of the Health Ordinance
Fof November IS, 1898, says: Every
person who acts as a sexton, under.
taker or cemetery keeperfwithin the
limits of the borough, or. has charge
or care. of any tomb, vault. burying
ground or other place foF the reeep
ton of the dead, or where the bodies
of any human beings are deposited,
shall so conduct his business and
shall so care for any such place
above named, as to avoid detriment
or danger to public health; and
every person undertaking prepare
tions for the burial of body dead
from communicable diseases, as
hereinbefore enumerated, shall adopt
such precautions as the Board of
Health may prescribe to prevent the
spread of such disease. No dead
bodies shall be exhumed and remov-
ed between the months of May and
October, inclusive, and no bodies
dead from smallpox shall ever be
exhumed and removed
The passage of special ordinance
would be necessary in order to re-
move Floyd Frum's body. His
friends have about given up hopes
of having him buried at his home.
Instead, movement is on foot
among the relatives of the dead man
and his friends and co-workers In
the engineering department of the
Baltimore d Ohio railroad for the
erection of "a beautiful monument on
the lot IN Hill Grove cemetery where
the grave is located Superintend-
ent of construction e. z. Fl. Harri-
son of the Baltimore q Ohio railroad
is at the head of the movement and
the memorial will probably be
handsome one
While nothing official has been
announced, it is generally under
stood that H. g. W. Quimby will
succeed Mr.. Frum in the position
OF Resident Engineer in the con
struction work here. MIR. Quimby
was employed for some time ON the
double tracking operations in the vi.
cinity OF Confluence Recently he
has been located at Indian Creek.
His speciality is masonry construc-
ton, and he has been experimenting
the heavy stone work necessary
there. He is in Connellsville today
and will probably take charge of the
work here soon.
