STOLEN BUGGY
In Which Kingwood Postoffice Rob :
bers Escaped-Well Laid Plan by
Professional Safe Blowers.

KINGwooD, w. Va, May 9.-The
burglars went about the robbery Of
the postoffice here in systematic
manner, evidently expecting to make
big haul. How much they did
secure is not known for Postmaster
Whetsell is not willing to give the
facts to the public. 1t is known
that they get more than $25 as first
reported. The safe which was blown
open was large new one re-
Gently purchased by Postmaster
Whetsell. They used a heavy charge
of nitroglycerine, blowing off the
door The noise awakened some
citizens nearby and they opened
fire, several shots being exchanged
The men got away in buggy which
they had stolen from a farmer near
Albrightsville. They drove to Ter
ra Alta to which place they were
pursued by posse headed by De-
putty Sheriff Ed Everly. The booty
included registered letters and mon
ey.
A complete set of burglars tools
were left behind in their hurried de-
parture, worth more than the money
secured. 1t was the work of pro-
fessional safe blowers.

JAIL LONESOME.
Murray to be Released May Fifteenth
Only Prisoner now.

Only one lone man Geo. Murray is
left in the county jail to keep the
jailer from getting lonesome. He will
soon serve out his time and get his re-
lease May 18th. He was imprisoned
for shooting his brother Abe Murray
some time ago. He has been the only
occupant OF the jail for some time.
There is perhaps no Jail in the state
in county having so many new in
dustries and so much development as
this one, where so few prisoners are
incarcerated. Think of Marion coun-
ty or Fayette county Pa, getting
along with prison house the size of
ours. OF course they have more bust
ness and more people, but the proper
tion Of law breakers is far in excess
of those in our county when compared
to population. Why our policemen
here have so little to do that the chief
is TO be made street commissioner in
addition to his other duties, and it is
said to be the intention OF council to
curtail the force of assistant police
men. What is the reason for our uni
yersal good order in county and city?
Have we higher type of OF ciyiliza-
ton than our neighboring counties?
Is the state University responsible for
our high standard of morality, and
our law abiding disposition? Is the
absence of coal mines or OF open sa-
looms to be credited with the univers-
al good order in the county? Let
those who have time think ii over and
formulate an answer for themselves.

CARNIVAL OF CRIME.
Fayette County Overrun With
lawlessness.
Resume OF Recent Happenings Down
There-Justice is Wanted by the
Genius-Red hot remarks about the
Appalling condition of affairs.

In discussing the condition Of af-
fairs in Fayette county the Union
town Genius rises to remark thusly:
Isn't it about time for Fayette
county to be doing something effec.
tive in the way of Kidding itself of the
disreptnable niggers who are SO nu-
merous within her borders, and who
are so wholly lawless. A murder at
Dunbar ON Monday night and wom-
an rayished. An attempt by negro
to kill at Oliver on Sunday. High
way robbery and assault and battery
by two negroes at Lemont yesterday.
Those who did not kill had murder in
their hearts. Nearly all the crimes
in this county are committed by me-
groes. 1t is time to get rid of the
lawless ones. They should be driven
out of the community. Those cap
tured should be given long terms in
prison, and those who have commit
ted murder should be promptly tried
and just as soon promptly hanged. Let
speedy justice be done.
Had 1t not been for the wild aim of
William Wilson, colored man of
Oliver, Sunday afternoon another
murder would have been added to the
already long list now scheduled for
trial at the June session of the Grimm
al court. Only few people lautside
of the law officers knew of the shoot
ing until today when Wilson was
lodged in Jail by Constable Andrew j.
Bowie.
A bold hold-up and robbery took
place about 2:30 o'clock yesterday
afternoon on the B. & o. railroad,
near Lemont furnace. John Marsin.
lex, a Slav miner from Leith, had
wandered down to that locality.
While walking along the track there
he was met by Robert Darlington and
Thomas Morris, worthless niggers who
have been roaming loose around in
this Deighborhood. They at once de-
manded Marsinick's money, and
threatened to kill him if he did not
ante up They went through his
pockets, taking in all $40, and after
giving him severe beating allowed
him to go.
James Washington, the niger who
killed young John Callahan at Dun
bar on Monday night, is known to the
Dunbar officers as a very bad man.
He came from the south few years
ago and went to Dunbar, where he
did nothing but loaf and shoot crap.
He left couple OF years ago but re-
turned to Dunbar before the holidays
last winter He is minus one arm,
which he says was shot off, but will
give no explanation OF why or how.
1t was likely done while he was in the
act of stealing. When searched he
had crap outfit on his person, and
this alone Indicates his line Of bust
ness. He is thoroughly disreputa-
BILE man. and also no doubt is the
negro who was with him when he
killed Callahan. If ever crimes call
ed for the swift vengeance of the law
they are the killing of Alfred Jones
in SpringhiIl township and John
John Callahan at Dunbar.

Aiigators al Large.

Guy Brown brought home two
alligators with him from tropical
Florida. This week they were en-
closed in wire screen cage about
eighteen inches high. Being little
cagy on account of their long jour
ney, and unused to such confinement
they broke over and made their es-
cape yesterday and could not be
found. South Park and the resi-
dents of first ward spent a night of
horror IN fear of the wild animals
running at large. 1t is hoped that
they will soon be captured.

School Bonds Voted.

The election called by the trus-
tees of this school district for last
Saturday to vote upon the PROPOSE
ton of issuing bonds to the amount
OF $4,000 was duly held and total
at lib votes cast, % voting nay
and 81 voting yea. Consequently
the issue was sanctioned. The
board met Monday evening to can
vass the vote, with the result as
above stated. Nothing has as vet
been decided upon by the board rs
to what disposition will be made of
this money. whether an addition is
to be made to the present school
building or another site purchased
and a new building erected there
on. In fact, it is likely that the
board will call for an expression of
the public mind on this question
with the design of doing just what
the public thinks ought to be done
in this important matter
Meanwhile, the total valuation
OF taxable property in this district
must be figured out, as unless we
have valuation Of $500, 900 the
bonds cannot be legally issued, as
the state constitution limits the
bonded Indebtedness which may be
incurred at 4 per cent of the total
property valuation. An adjourned
meeting was held yesterday for the
purpose of ascertaining these i'm
portant facts. As soon as these
matters are disposed Of and the
board knows just where it stands
it will be in shape to employ the
two additional teachers required
for the fall term.
The election for school trustees
will not be held until the first Mon
day in September, when an cleo
ton will be called for the purpose
OF electing. successors 10 G. ii.
