MORE BIG coal DEALS

A coal deal Of great magnitude
has just been consummated by
Burton M. Despard, Of Clarksburg,
by which he sells to w. ID. Althouse,
who is Philadelphia capitalist, and
A. J. Bonafeld, prominent Tunnel.
ton operator, FIVE thousand acres in
Preston county. This tract is one
OF the most valuable in West Vir-
ginia. II is situated in the New.
burg and independence region and
Is OF ready access to the railroad.
1t consists OF the Freeport and kit
tanning veins, and is drift, slope and
shaft. The purchase price is net
definitely known but is said to be
more than sIoo, 900 in the aggregate.
The price represents a splendid
profit for Mr.. Despard, who secured
the tract a year or so ago.
1t is the intention of the pur.
chasers to erect costly plants and
develop the field on an extensive
scale, making mining operations in
that section great deal livelier.
AS soon as the plants can be put in,
hundreds Of miners will be given
employment. Mr.. Bonafeld is a
practical and modern coal operator
and his naturalization with this new
enterprise will be of great advantage
to 1t. There are unlimited means
behind the enterprise and much
money will be devoted to the opera
ton of the field.
Henry Marshal Grimes Of near
Reedsville has been working on this
tract and deal for years, as field
agent for Despard and is interested
in the deal and will get a nice thing
out Of il also.

people and +. ID. Merrick, of Cleve-
land, the purchasers.
1t is claimed that the buyers of

use in their furnances and foundries.
Mr.. Merrck the Cleveland at
torney has been here all winter
attending to the legal part of the

President Roosevelt comes out in
an interview against the election of
Smoot the Mormon Apostle to the
United States Senate from Utah and
makes an emphatic protest against
any more Mormons in Congress.
However Smoot declares that he
will go ahead anyhow and as he is a
Republican he will probably get his
seat if he is elected by the Utah
Legislature. OF course Brigham II.
Roberts was turned out Of Congress
but he was Democrat which is a
worse crime than being Mormon.

LISTEN TO SPEECHES FREEZING


Exercises in the Big Building Were Com
Portable for Nobody.
The important ceremonies In the
Liberal Arts building were handled
with all possible dispatch. sOf all the
speakers President Roosevelt alone
was able to make his voice carry fur
Their than fifty feet from the stage.
By far the largest part of the assem-
bly, could hear nothing. and it was
nearly freezing to death. When the
president rose to speak he was cheered
to the echo. He bowed again and
again, suggesting by his manner that
quiet be restored. Finally he mount
ed the broad railing In front of the
rostrum, where he could be seen from
every part Of the hall and again mo-
toned for silence, but there was no
silence.
Taking advantage Of lull, he called
Now you. my fellow citizens, give n,e
all the chance you can, for 1 need it."
The chance was given and the presi-
dent began his address. A burst of
applause greeted his statement that
the Dutch had done great things for
the country in it's infancy, and the
president laughed in a manner which
plainly said: THAT means my an
ceStors."
The programme of the exercises in
the building began with band con-
cert. The audience was called to or
der at p. m. and Cardinal Gibbons
offered the Invocation. President Car
ter then was introduced as president
of the day and the chair sang a grand
chorCs-"The Heavens Proclaiming"
Presentation of the building was then
made by President Francis. of the ex-
position company, and followed by
President Roosevelt's dedication ad
dress. The chorus, Unfold, Ye Portals
preceded the address of ex-President
Cleveland, who was enthusiastically
applauded when he arose and whose
speech was frequently cheered. Amer
Tea" with chorus and band accom-
paniment followed, prayer was said
by Bishop Hendrix, and the benedic-
ton was pronounced by Bishop Pot

NINE DIE IN AN EXPLOSION


Powder Company's Plant Goes Or and
Does Some Dreadful Work.
Hoilidaysburg, Pa, May The ex-
tensive plant of the Crescent Powder
company at Ganistock, about ten miles
south of here was completely wrecked
by series Of four explosions yester-
day morning. OF the thirty employees.
nine were killed outright and all the
others were badly injured by being
blown about the buildings in which
they were employed. The dead:
Frank McKernan, Ross Kennedy, Geo.
Fay, Andrew Gabrillac. Charles Ross.
William Lyons, Giuseppe Maleo, Frank
Strasser and John Patrovinski.
The list OF injured includes Adam
Taggart, Of Pittsburg, the superin-
tendent Of the company, who was
found unconscious In his office by his
wife and was dragged out Of the burn
ing building by her at the peril of her
own life. The first explosion occurred
among the material in the mixing
house, blowing that building to atoms,
and also destroying the two punch
ing houses and the Office. Nothing was
left Of these structures. Fire arose
in the other buildings to complete the
chapter Of horrors. The force of the
explosion was felt in towns five miles
away and all houses in the locality
were damaged. The bodies Of the DEAD
are unacceptable and the country
around about is strewn with the me-
lancholy remnants Of what was once
human forms.

blew fiercely from the west, sending
great clouds OF dust whirling into the
faces of the troops as they marched
past the president, and at times so
nearly binding the president that it
was well nigh impossible for him to
see across the street upon which the
troops were marching.
Temperature Was Penetrating.
Added to the discomfort of the wind
and dust was a temperature which
sought for the marrow, and generally
reached it. The ladies who on the
strength Of the warm weather recent
~ went in summer dresses to the re-
viewing stand suffered keenly, and but
for the thoughtfulness Of officers COM
handing the guard thrown around the
reviewing stand, who provided them
with blankets, many Of them would
have been compelled to leave the place.
Both President Roosevelt and ex-
President Cleveland remained in the
reviewing stand exposed to the icy
wind until the end Of the parade, al
though their faces were blue and their
limbs stiffened by the cold.
