Madame Emma Eames resentment
against her native place is evidently
fading, if the letter to a Lewiston
friend which was made public last
week is to be believed On one occa-
sion, before she became Il great prima
donna, but when she had Il reputation
as singer, she sang in Bath. She was
greeted by small house, a fate not
uncommon to musical entertainers i'll
Maine cities. and the Indifference OF
her former tOWnspeOple so ncensed
the songstress that she has never even
visited the place and has turned deaf
ear to all manner of entreatieS since
she became great, refusing to appear
not only in Bath but even anywhere
in the State. Bath and Maine have
not, however, entertained any similar
feeling toward Madame Eames, and
whenever she chooses to return it is
certain she will be warmly welcomed.

This morning a: exactly half
past 10 O'Clock the jury In the case
of the State of West Virginia
against Capt. J. H. Pine, filed into
the court room and when Clerk
Mayfeld asked them If they had
agreed upon a verdict they replied
that they had and that verdict was
then read by Clerk Mayfeld. The
verdict was Guilty, as charged In
the Indictment" The case tried
was for forgery. The order upon
which the case was tried Is known
as the Bently & Gerwig order.
Clerk Pine purchased $3.25 worth
of Office furniture from Bently &
Gerwig, of Parkersburg, for
which he presented a bill to the
city council and 1t was ordered
paid. Clerk Pine then issued an
order for $3,25, payable to Bently
& Ge1wig and presented 1t to May.
or Charles Grler who signed it.
The order was then taken to the
First National Bank In this city
and New York Draft was given
to Capt. Pine but made payable to
the order of Bently & Gerwig, but
the amonnt had been changed or
raised" so when 1t was presented
to the bank 1t called for the sum of
S325. Capt. Pine took this New
York draft to Bently & Gerwig,
paid the bill due the firm from the
city, one due from himself to the
firm and got the rest of the draft In
solid cash. The draft In due time
returned to the bank here all
properly endorsed by Bently &
Gerwig and the bill for s. IS all
paid and apparently everything was
lovely. The records show this or
der was issued to Bently & Garwlc,
on account of street work. Mayor

sum; John Mckay issued the N. Y.

1t was a general fight In which
about fifty people participated, and
various weapons were used. A
large number of persons were In
jured and will carry the marks OF
the fight for several weeks.
Sam Kerr of this city, who Is
travelling about the country'in his
little brown tent taking pictures,

him on the shins. So far no arrests
have been made and 1t will be a

NEW MANUFAC~
TURING PLANT

If we could land good plant
her, right now, this coming fall, In
our Judgment would be worth a.
great deal more to the future
growth of our city than a plant or
two later on. We are booming
here now and of that there Is no
doubt. Nobody Is complaining Of
dull times here. Everybody Is
busy, prosperous and conten'e1 but
we must not stop here. The work
on the railroad Is Substantially
completed. This has made busi-
ness very good but we need some
thing permanent to follow right
along after the road Is In running
order. This proposition now
being offered to our people
lis pronounced good one'
and If the terms can be made on a
legitimate business basis, we ought
to try and locate 1t here. In short
time the managers expect to give
employment to 800 skilled men.
Think what a permanent boom
that would give our city. IS II
not worth the while Of everybody
to get 10 work and land this plant
to keep the boom on during the
fail and winter. Call at the Dur
ham Hardware Store and see the
machines and hear what the owners
have to say about them. If you
think they are a good thing talk
the project up to your neighbors
and lets land the plant.

right and machinists who have
tried them pronounce them as be-
Ing Just what Is needed. Accord

AS soon as the carnival opened at
Bridgeport, O., yesterday the
mayor appointed fourteen extra
police. During the carnival here
last week there were only two ex'
ira police appointed. One for day
and one for night duty, and the
order throughout the entire week
was of the very highest standard.
There were no, robberies or depre'
dations of any kind committed.
The efficient police officers cannot
be too highly praised for the able
manner In which they handled the
immense crowd. Our neighbors
up the river should visit our pro.
gressive and up-to.day city and get
some pointers on how to conduct a
large crowd In live town.

CAPT. PINE GUILTY

explained how they received 1t and
paid the Captain the difference In
cash to him. He did not 60 upon
the witness stand and no evidence
was given on his behalf. He has
always claimed when the proper
time came he would and could ex'
plain everything In a satisfactory
way and until he had an oppor-
tunity, asked his friends to with
hold their judgement on the
charges made. He bad a splendid
opportunity yesterday to explain
how the order was changed, what
became of the money and all about
1t, but he said nothing. His attor-
ueys have made the best fight they
could for him on techuicalitles but
when they got down to the facts
they had nothing more to tight
with. There Is no doubt about
the guilt of Mr.. Pine.
Immediatly upon the jury being
discharged the attorneys for Mr..
Pine asked the court to set aside
the verdict of the jury, which is
only formal matter and
amounts to nothing. The judge
will no doubt over rule this motion
and proceed to sentence Mr.. Pine
to the penitentiary at Moundsville,
which can be done under this ver-
dict from not less than nor more
than 10 years and when that time
Is out he can be tried and con-
victed again until the end OF his
natural life. The only thing his
attorneys will have left to them will
be to try and have the case ap-
peaied to the higher court, Whether
this will be done or not we cannot
say, but think that will be taken.
If 1t Is, Capt. Pine will come home
on bail, otherwise he will 20 to the
pen this week.
Judge Willis has sentencnd Capt.
Pine to serve two years In the pen
itentiary at MoGndsville.
