LAST NIGHTS CAUCUS.

last nights caucus was a rccor /
breaker in point of size-the total vote
thrown, counting the defective ballots,
being one more. than, the total num-
Der of Republican ballots thrown in
this city at the last State election. Mr..
Robertson may we'll feel proud of the
emphatic endorsement that was given
his candidacy. He has been a resident
of Augusta for many years, and is well
known to our citizens. He is not I'M
acquainted with city affairs having
served most efficiently as member of
the board of assessors and as overseer
of the poor. He enjoys a large ac-
quaintance among the people of our
city, and is thoroughly familiar with
local affairs.
The caucus, last evening, was an or
derby one. The Australian ballot sys-
TEN was used and the voting, despite
the large total reached, was carried on
expeditiously and without crowding.
The method used is certainly to be
commended. Now that the voters have
declared their wishes it is the DUTY of
every Republican to give the nominee
of the party rousing support at the
polls. Let the Republicans Of Augusta
turn out in force at the coming cleo
ton and give Mr.. Robertson an en-
dorsement in full keeping with his
splendid vote in last nights caucus
After week from next Monday it
will he Mayor Robertson.

A FOOLISH MAN
Attempts Suicide Because a Woman
Would Not Marry Him.

Lawrence, Mass, Feb. 27.-Because
Mrs. Lizzie Pettingill with whom he
had become infatuated, refused to
marry him, John Dawson, wool
sorter, attempted suicide, this evening,
by taking a dose of paris green. What
probably saved Davison's life was the
fact that he took such an overdose of
the paris green as to cause him to
vomit it before the poison became thor
oughly assimulated. Dawson is a
widower and has three children who
live with Mrs. Pettingill at 81 Shelms-
ford street. Mrs. Pettingill is married
but lives apart from her husband.

DIX. BREED PREACHED
Two Fine Sermons at Presbyterian
Church.

Rev. David r. Breed, ID. d. Of the
Western Theological Seminary at AL
legheny Pa, preached two excellent
here Sunday DR.. Breed is the III
structor in the art OF preaching at
the Seminary, and it is evident that
he does not try to teach others to do
what be himself can not do. The
sermons were both OF The most inter
esting and forcible character, and a
more fnis he'd aud effective pulpit ora
tor has seldom been heard in Morgan
town.
In the morning, DIR Breed took for
bis theme the visit OF Nicodemus TO
Christ in the night, and the circum-
stances attending the visit. Among
other things, the preacher taught that
Christians should perform the acts
that mark them as such, openly, in
the broad daylight.
In the evening, the sermon was es-
pecially directed to young men. DR..
Breed read the story OF the birth Of
Moss, his adoption by Pharoah's
daughter, and his sleighing the Egyp-
tan. He found his text in Hebrews,
where Moses great decision TO be
known no logger as the son Of Pha-
roah's daughter is recorded. With
the art Of the orator and logician that
he Is, DR.. Breed pictured most vivid
~ all that this decision n cant, and
its mighty consequences.
The church was packed to the doors
at the evening service, and all who
heard the sermon. will want DR.. Breed
TO return to Morpantown frequently.

LAzZELLE GETS INJUNCTION
Judge Mason Enjoins Union
Utility Company.

Same Bill Used as In First Suit-Bond
Of $500 Injunction Seryed-Will
Likely Become Permanent-Suppiy
will not be cut of.
Judge Mason Saturday granted an
injunction 10 the case of /. G. Lazzelle
vs.. the Union Utility company, re-
straining the defendant FROM cutting
of the supply of gas and water from
the home Of the plaintiff, in conse
quence Of the owners refusal to sign
the new contract presented and 10
pursuance of the threat to do so pub
lished in the papers Of the city.
The only condition named By the
court to lie complied with before the
injunction becomes effective, is that
the plaintiff gives bond Of $500. This
Mr.. Lazzelle has done and the injunc-
tioD has been served on the attorney
Tor the Union Utility company.
The bill for injunction was practic-
the same as the one 10 the case Of the
eighteen plaintiffs, against the COM
pany, the only change made being the
substitution u OF Mr.. Lazzelle's name
for the names OF the eighteen. The
first application for injunction was re-
fused on the ground that the plaintiffs
could not maintain the bill jointly.
The courts decision ia the second
suit, when the same bill was used,
shows that the first refusal was based
wholly on the fact that the plaintiffs
were not Legally joined. Attorney S.
f. Glasscock represented the plaintiff
in the case.
Mr.. Lazzelle said this morning:
"Tbe injunction has been argued,
and 1t is unlikely that anything new
could be brought into the case that
would cause it TO be dissolved. The
question Of the law in the case seems
to me pretty we'll settled. There is
nothing more for me TO do in the mat
ter. II there are any more steps, the
company will have to take them"

LINE TO POINT MARION.
Fsyette County Capital Inter
ested in Trolley Extension.


will Build from fairehance to juno
tion TO Monographs and Cheat
Line mp Cheat Possible VIII Con.
meet with Line in this County-Te
Pittsburg by Trolley Near Posi-
bility.
The building Of street car line
from Fairchanee to Point Marion,
about 10 miles, has been decided up,
on BY company including o. w.
Kennedy of Uniontown. John w.
Byers, Lee B. and Owen R. Brown
field and George w. Irwin of Fair
chance and James w. Abraham,
conductor on the Masontown ex-
tension of the 2. r. r.
The plans of the company are well
matured and as 10 the financial
ability to promote the road there is
no doubt, as sufficient capital is now
offered TO construct it. The com
pany will probably be capitalize !.
at $250,000 and a charter will be
applied for, but work will not begin
before spring. Along the route live
many people who have small farms
and are employed in the coke works
and these will be good patrons of
the street car line to and from their
work and also when they desire to
visit Uniontown or Pt. Marion or
places along Cheat river.
The building of The line will con
meet Uniontown and PIT. Marion by
trolley, the distance being about
49, miles.
The company now has two routes
under consideration One is from
Fairchance 10 Smithffeld and then
parallel with the B. d q. railroad to
Point Marion, touching along the
way the various coke plants and
works that have been developed. II
the council of Smithfield borough
grants franchise this route will be
taken.
The other route is from Fairchance
diOuS euc puuliC Iodu W huUlc Mill
and then on to Point Marion through
Springhlll township, touching all
the coke plants, including those at
Wharton, Cheat Haven, Outcrop.
Cans and other places along the
way. This route would be about a
halt mile longer than the route
through Smithfield.
A Morgantown man who is inter
ested in trolley building said today
IF this line IS built, and | presume
from the parties interested it will
be, from Morgantown to Pittsbuig
by trolley will be one .of the posi-
bilities OF the near future. You are
familiar with the plans for line
from Morgantown to Cheat and from
this city TO points down the river
Either way, connection could be
easily made which would join Nor
gantown to Pittsburg by an electric
railway and little later perhaps,
all the towns between Clarksbnrg
and Grafton and Pittsburg

DEAD In BED.
William Taylor Teamster, was
FOnnd Dead in His Room at the
Hare Hotel RiyesviIle.

RlvEsvILLE, w. Va, Dec. 5.-Wil-
liam Taylor, aged 26, teamster in
the employ of Andy Ice, of this
place, was found dead in his bed at
the Hare Hotel where he boarded
this morning by member of the
family who keeps the hotel. This
afternoon an inquest is beings held
over the remains by Squire Google,
but the verdict will not be rendered
until late.
WilliamPTaylor came here sore
time ago from near Mt. Morris. He
was strong. healthy looking young
man, pleasing in address and while
here made lots of friends. Last night
he was as well as usual and talked
with several of his friends before
retiring for the night. He had not
been drinking, and the general opin-
ion is that he WAS attacked with a
fatal spell of heart trouble.
This morning he did not appear be-
fore breakfast, and was still absent
when the meal was served. A knock
on his door brought no response and
finally the door was broken in and
the remains of Taylor, dressed in
his night clothes and covered mp
were found in the bed. There we're
no signs of a struggle.
An effort was made today to notify
the family of the dead boy aud it is
likely that some member from MI.
Morris will arrive here this evening.

JUDGE MASON'S OPINION.
Exact words Used by the Court
In Refusing Injunction.


Cannot Maintain Bill JeintIy-Ques.
tons Still Undecided-U. q. Com.
pany will Not Accept Money for Gas
and Water unless Contract is Signed.
Judge Mason's opinion in the suit
for injunction brought by l. G. Lac
zelle, attorney for the plaintiffs,
against the Union Utility company
was short and to the point. 1t was
written on part OF the last sheet of
the bill, which was blank. The ex-
act wording and punctuation is as
follows:
Il am of the opinion that the
plaintiffs cannot, JOINTLY, maintain
this bill and therefore and for that
reason refuse the injunction asked
for therein This leaves no doubt
whatever as to the exact position of
the court, and the reason the inN
junction was refused. The question
as TO whether the company can
substitute the new contract for the
old one without the consent of the
consumer, or whether they can turn
of the gas and water SO long as the
consumer pays under his old con
tract, are yet undecided, so far as an
opinion from the bench is concerned.
Steps are being taken to settle these
questions.
The L. U. company at the head
Office is refusing to receive money
rendered in payment for gas and
water used by consumers who refuse
to sign the new contract. Several
citizens have presented themselves
at the office and offered to pay. The
contract was offered to them and
they refused to sign. The company's
representative refused to take the
money.
In one instance, the company refus-
ed TO take money for gas already
burned. He uses a metre, and OF
course, cannot pay ia advance for his
gas. When he went TO the Office to
settle for the month OF November, his
tender OF payment was refused un-
less be signed the contract, there and
then. He would not do this and his
bill is unpaid. He has used a metre
for two years.
There are a number Of substantial
people who have refused to sign the
application and show ne signs of do
ing so. OF course the majority Of the
customers have signed, but those that
have not will have to re reckonsd with
somehow OF other.

CHRISTIAN WOMEN
Board of Missions Met Yesterday-One
Addition to Church.

Yesterday at the Christian church
was observed the annual day OF the
Christian Women's Board of Mis-
sions A good congregation was
present. Mrs !. j. Tisdall was the
soloist. Her rendition of "rhe Blest
Gospel Light" was fine The charm
in Mrs Tisdall's singing is her
clear enunciation. We hope to hear
her voice many times in tie future.
Miss D. V. johnson of he Greek
department OF the University de
liyered the address 1t was a
scholarly and intensely spiritual
speech. Miss johnson held the close
attention of her hearers. She said
in part: "Giving should be Guilt
vated' God gave-God made gifts
of all descriptions aud they were and
are all good. He gave His Son We
should give. Begin in the home
Mothers think of your children's
souls as much as you do of their
bodies. Don't expect the sunday
school teachers in the brief time
allotted to them TO be able to dis
pense all the necessary food for the
sustenance of their spiritual growth
Again give the people to eat in the
town, city, county, state, country
and the world. Remember the great
command to- Go into all the world. !"
The pastor, Rev. J. j. Tisdall
made few remarks preparatory to
the offering which was good one.
There was also one addition to the
church. A large congregation met
in the evening to hear Mr.. Tisdall's
repetition of his sermon on "Bap-
tism." The sermon was ably pre-
sented 1t was an enjoyable thing
TO notice an entire sbsence OF crit
cism towards other bodies. Mr..
Tisdall stated from the Bible with
full proof his position an6 left the
result with his hearers to decide.
One addition to the church and two
baptized closed delightful Lords
day.
