MISS STONE HERE.
RANsoMEp AMERICAN REACHES
NEW YORK.
Birth of Mrs. TsiIka's Baby Stopped
Insulting and Cruel Remarks
of Brigands.

New York, April 11.-Miss Ellen NJ.
Stone, the missionary who was cap
tured by brigands in Bulgaria and
held for ransom, arrived here yester
day on the Deutschland. She looked
pale and worn, and said the sea voy-
age had made her very i'll. She was
met at the steamers pier by her
brother, Charles A. stone and by
many other relatives and friends. Mis- ;
Stone said the brigands We're not 50
fierce as might have been imagined.
They said many insulting things, but
never struck or beat either her or
her companion, MINNIE. Tsilka.
There have been several reports
printed which stated that Nine. Tsilka
mad been held for ransom by our
captors," said Miss Stone, but that
is mistake. | was the one they
wanted, and they always take mar
ried lady to chapefone single one
no matter how old the latter may be.
The brigands meant to take the first
married woman they came across, to
accompany me- but the one they first
found happened to be Mrs. Wosheya,
a native missionary and widow who
was very i'll at the time. Mrs. Tsilka
was therefore decided on by the
brigands FOR which | was very thank
full afterward, and will tell you why
Seven weeks before we We're re-
leased a baby was born to Mrs.
Tsilka. The brigands had, by this
time, become SO insulting and cruel
in their remarks that 1t was becom-
ing unbearable. The appearance OF
the baby stopped all this, for the rea-
son that The brigands Of Turkey be-
lieve that a curse will settle on them
if they do harm a child or its mother.
Our treatment, after the birth Of the
baby was excellent We began TO
get better food, although I must ad
NIT that it was generally very good.
and the sneering remarks stopped.
1T was when the negotiations for
our release fell through or became
disturbed that we We're subject to
our worst treatment You are to die
20 days from now or we will put a
bullet in your brain soon,' were some
of the pleasant things that they said
to us
Miss Stone said she would go at
once to Chelsea, Mass, to see her
mother, who is more than 80 years
old,

GRANT PITZER DEAD.
Prominent Martinsburg Lawyer Passed
away on Wednesday as Result of
Fever.

A special from Martlnsburg states
that U. Grant Pitzer died there yes
terday morning. Mr.. Pitzer had been
very Ill with fever but was thought TO
be recovering. He had begnn to take
nourishment and was sitting up.
Something that was given him did
not agree with him and a relapse was
brought on from the effects of which
he soon died.
Pitzer was student in the Univer-
and later engaged in the practice Of
law at Martinsburg Here he was
very successful and was serving his
third term as prosecuting attorney of
his county when he died. In politics
he has been quite prominent and was
before the Congressional conven-
tions Of this district several times
with more or less strength
He was about thirty five years of
age and was married. The news of
his death was most unwelcome here
and it has caused deep regret to be ex-
pressed by large number Of people.

Old and Respected COlOred man Found
dead at his barn Friday Morning.

Early Friday morning Preston He'd
rick was found dead ia the barn on
the Rogers farm near town. He had
been in his uaual health on Thursday

nothing to indicate that his death
was due to any thing but natural
causes.

every one was one Of the oldest color
ed men Of the county and was respect

CONDITION UNCHANGED.
Gen. Smith lowering Between
Life and Death.

PHYSICIANS Give no Hope of His Re-
coYerY Eighteen Land Slides Be-
tween Fairmont and Clarksburg-
Tremendous row Among Marion
Republicans.
Special to the New DOMINION.
FAIRMoNT, April l1-Eighteen
landslides between Clarksburg and
Fairmont are the record for today.
This record will probably stand for
some time before it is broken. The
Weston train went around by way of
Grafton but was greatly delayed on
the trip. Crews Of men are busy on
all of the slides TO clear the track but
in some places it will take hours
longer to get the earth off the rails.
The condition of Gen. Smith re-
mains about the same. He does not
improve and he seemingly gets no
worse The physicians state however
that he cannot recover and that 1t is
only matter Of time until he passes
away.
There is trouble among the Repub-
lican factions of the county and there
Is likely that some fun is going to re-
suit from meeting that is called for
next Saturday and to be held in this
city. 1t has developed that there are
some Republicans that are not so very
loyal to the executive management Of
the county. 1t has all started over
the call for the convention to name
the delegates from the county for the
Congressional convention. The con-
testing crowds are what are known as
the postoffice crowd and the town
ring
The first named faction accuses
the second of trying to pack the con-
vention ito crafty the inordinate
ambition of an individual who desires
to thrust himself upon the Repnbli-
cans of the district through the agen-
cy OF an INSCRIPTIONS coterie of his
henchmen." A circular bearing the
above rather hot words has been is
sued by the postoffiee crowd and sent
to every Republican in the county.
Ii calls for a meeting of the Republic
cans to be held here next Saturday
and to discuss the matter and to see
that no foolishness on the part Of the
other faction be tolerated.
1t is signed by 10 or II we'll known
Republicans aud is bringing forth
much comment today. The affair de-
noted that there is going to be one If
the warmest fights ever known in the
party In this county.

The Monongshela river ranks third
In the amount OF tonnage handled on

Importance as freight carrying
stream was wildly brought out last
Friday by Chairman T. Z. Burton, OF
the rivers and harbors committee of
congress while on visit TO Cincin-
1ati. The Monongahela river fur
nishes 90 per cent OF the tonnage that
is carried on the Ohio rivers
The total tonnage OF the Mononga-
hela river for the calendar year ending
December 3lst last was s, 500, AIT tons
and OF this amount 7,4s5, 4s0 tons
was coal. II this coal had been load

The Ohio river last year carried 49,
900, 600 tons.
The impression has gone abroad
that the output of coal in the Monon-
gahela valley last year was the great

that stream. This is mistake.
There have been other years when the
output of coal was considerably great

The remaining tonnage Of the
stream, besides coal included iron and
steel products, merchandise, lumber,
building materials and numerous 9TH

in the MOnongahela valley when the
size of the stream is considered, than
on any other stream OF equal size in
the world.

Avoided In the Firm of II. w. Protz-

A few weeks ago III. w Protzman
ordered great lot of pianos and or
gans and in o. day or two after some
thing less than a car load OF ma
chimes. This excited the old man so
much that he threatened to with
draw from the firm thinking they
never could sell them all. But upon
second thought he put little note
in the daily papers as sort of adj
vertisement and as soon as the peo-
pie learned that they could get the
best grade of pianos and organs at
fair price and sewing machines from
$1l up they came fiocking in and the
trade keeps up so that it now keeps
the drayman busy TO deliver goods
and harmony has been restored and
the old man wears broad smile OF
welcome to all who come.

SMALLPOX OYER CHEAT.

Henry Baker rural mail carrier re-
ports that there is smallpox oyer
Cheat. This was discovered on
Thursday. Frederick Hastings had
been sick for week or more but
nothing unusual had been thought to
be the matter.
On Thursday physician from
Smithfleld who had been called To at
tend him pronounced the malady To
be smallpox and since that time the
Tasting home has not been very pop
ular as resort among the neighbors
who had been calling for several days
on Newton to see how he was getting
along.
Mr.. Hastings lives near the Diekin-
son store and is well known all over
Cheat Neck. 1t is not known where
he contracted the disease but It Is
said that he has well developed case.
The county board of health have
not yet been notified nor have any
precautions been taken officially as to
quarantine. The 'neighbors may be
expected to stay away until the pa
tient RECEIVERS from the attack.
1t is probably that the county
health officers will take steps at once
to prevent a further spread of the
disease.
In the meantime it is we'll for every
one to be on his guard and by this
means the malady may be prevented
from spreading. 1t is probable that a
large number of cases will develop as
there have been many chances for in
lection during the time that the ma
ture of the illness from which the
victim was suffering was not known.
Smallpox is not as terrifying as It
once was and medical science has
robbed it of much of its dangers
