Wheeling, w. Va, April 29.-The
Amalgamated Association got down to

port. This will consume much time.

now fallen to a depth OF only two
feet Mr.. Freeze made known his dis

INHERITANCE WENT
ASTRAY

An inheritance is something which
son even once in a life time. To be
made a legatee, therefore, and have
the fortune go astray must arouse in
the person interested feeling of much
impatience and suspense.
Such an experience has fallen to the
lot of Miss Sarah Z. WeTtman, of this
city. She was one of three nieces re-
membercd in the will of the late
Sarah J. Johnson, her inheritance
amounting to one hundred dollars.
About the middle of last month Miss
Wertman learned that the affairs of
the estate were wound UP and as
time wore on she began to wonder
why she did not receive the money be-
queathed her Last week she became
convinced that something was wrong
and on Thursday caused an investiga
tion to be made.
No one was more surprised than the
executor of the estate himself to learn
that Miss Wertman had not received
her money. \ check for the amount
was mailed her on the 10Th of Octo-
ber. The inference was that the check
had gone astray and as it was on the
Danville National Bank investigation
was naturally directed to that institu-
tion, where sure enough the check was
found endorsed by another Sarah Vert
man, who had become the happy pos
SCISSOR of the Inheritance.
If Miss Wertman during two weeks
was harassed by the fear of losing the
money bequeathed her, her feelings
were probably no worse than those
of the other woman who had posses
sion of the money when she learned
that it was all a mistake and she was
not the rightful heir. The woman,
who lives out of town, did the only
thing that remained to be done and
on Saturday refunded the hundred
dollars to the executor of the estate,
who paid the money over to the right
ful heir

MORE COAL
IS Being SHIPPED

The condition of the coal trade is
becoming better, but the supply that
comes to this city is not yet sufficient
to meet the demand of consumers.
Every dealer has more orders on his

the lighting system was affected.
Manager West has now secured a sup

the strike This week, however, is
expected to add considerably to the
output rs more collicries are put
in operation.
The effects of the long strike is felt
by the consumer in the increased
price that he is Obliged to pay for
coal. At the local yards the large
sizes now cost $3.50 per ton, while pea
coal is selling at 81. % Pc" ton. This

The railroads lave been making

roads have been to a considerable ex-
tent depending on new engines in
course of construction and due to be
delivered in September or October.
The lack of fuel caused by the coal
famine has prevented the completion
of the engines according to contract.
and as further consequence miles
upon miles of loaded freight trains are
blocking the rails of the East and West

to move them.

and fractured one of his limbs. About
eleven O'Clock in the forenoon he was
ASST sting to shovel coal on one of \.

wagon was loaded he undertook to
climb down the side of the car. In
the act he placed his foot on the air
pipe. Here his foot slipped and
caught in such a manner as to cause
him to fall violently to the ground.
He lit upon his left leg, which doub-
led under his weight, with the result
that it was badly fractured between
the ankle and the knee.
George was driven to the home of
his parents in one of Gulick's sand
wagons. The family physician, DR..

Tuition Fees From Non Resident Pupils

Tuition Fees From Non Resident Pupils.
One of the sources of revenue of the
School Board is from tuition fees paid
by pupils, attending the schools, resid-
ing outside of the school district. a
neat sum is realized from this source,
the amount for the present year ap-
preaching close to five hundred dol
lars. If the non resident pupils scat
tered throughout the various wards
were assembled together, there would
be sufficient number to make a good
sized school and give employment to
one teacher. This, in itself, is evid-
ence that our rural neighbors appreci-
ate the advantages of our graded
schools, and are willing to meet the
additional expense incurred for the cd
ucatiOn of their children.
