suitable Building for $4,000.
Rent of Offices Would Pay Interest
on Money-Sites Suggested.
Morgantown needs new city
building and it is more than likely
that a movement will be started
shortly with this end in view. The
city has needed "new" building
for a long time, in fact ever since
there was city.
Mayor McGrew thinks building
sufficiently commodious for Morgan
gantown at present, and for what
Morgantown is likely to be in the
next 10 or Is years, could be built
for $4,000 or $4,000. The chief
difficulty will be in securing a suit
able site at anything like a reason
able figure. Ard the present council
is of the opinion that previous coun-
ellis have made great mistake in
not securing site long before this.
"Municipal Hall'', as 1T Is now
called, is built on ground for which
the city pays ground rent OF $50
a year, to the George B. Morris es-
tate. This ground is leased for five
years, thee of which have expired.
Alter that the rent will probably be
raised, or maybe the city will be re-
CURED to pick up its building and
move
1t putting up new building, the
idea would be to provide suitable
offices for the mayor, recorder, tax
collector and treasurer, headquar-
tiers for the police department, fire
department and all other depart
ments connected with the city gov
eminent, In addition to this large
hall would b: provided for public
meetings. A lookup for overnight
drunks would save the city consid-
cradle expense.
Afterthese things had been pro
vided for, a number of offices fol
rent could be furnished, and if the
building is conveniently located
enough revenue could he got from
them to pay the interest on money
used in putting up the building.
Several locations have been sug.
gested as we'll suited for the location
of city building. Among these
are the Shisler corner, the corner oc
cupled by Davidson's livery stable
the Kiger lot on High street and
several others.

ANOTHER SCHEME.
Railroad Magnates Plan to Head
off Wabash.
They Want Traffic Arrangement which
will Render the Green County and
b. N. Roads unnecessary-what
is to be bone.

r'TrrsBuRG, Nov. lI.-Efforts are
being made by President George W.
Stevens of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad to so harmonic the Gould,
Vanderbilt and Baltimore and Ohio
interests that a new freight line
from Virginia will be possible. That
was one purpose of his trip to Pitts
burg last week and he continued his
efforts by beginning a careful in
spection of the proposed route
1t is not likely that the Goulds
will enter into traffic arrangement
such as is suggested with tits known
that they are building a parallel line
OF their own to the West Virginia
coal fields in the shape OF the Greene
county and Buckhannon and North
ern Railroads.
The idea of President Stevens is
to secure traffic arrangement with
the West Virginia Central and
Pittsburg. the Baltimore and Ohio
and the Pittsburg aud Lake Erie by
proratins the rate between the
Greenbrier branch OF the Chesapeake
and Ohio and Pittsburg. This would
require the harmonizing Of interests
now thoroughly antagonistlc, as the
Goulds are nov at outs with The
Baltimore and Ohio.
President Stevens desires the
Plttsburg and Lake Erie to build
from the present Southern terminus
of the Monongahela River Railroad
nine miles to the mouth of the Cheat
river, near the West Virginia State
line. Connection would there be
made with the Cheat River Railroad
which was originally chartered by
Colonel James M. Gufiey, ex Judge
,amcs II. Reed and other Pittsburg-
ers, aud which was sold to the Balti-
more and Ohio. The idea is for the
Baltimore and Ohio to continue the
building of this line up the Cheat
river to Parsons, w. Va, where con
nections will be made with the West
Virginia Central. The idea then is
to use West Virginia Central lines
to the Greenbrier branch OF the
Chesapeake and Ohio, which has
been under construction for some
time.
This Greenbrier branch leaves the
main line of the Chesapeake and
Ohio at Nhitcomb and follows the
Greenebrier river to connection
with the Coal aud Coke railroad be-
ing built south from Elkins by Sena-
tors Henry G. Dawes ane Stephen B.
Elkins.
1t is believed in some quarters
that the move is the first putting
forth of the olive branch. II the
Goulds can be induced TO make such
an arrangement as proposed and
abandon their Green ecounty and
Buckhannon and Northern projects
the way to peace among the rail
roads would be easy. The Goulds
have now under construction the
Buckhannon and Northern To the
Pennsylvania state line and the sur
veys have been made for the Greene
county railroad to the Connel,sville
coke region and to connection
with the big coal track purchased by
the Gould syndicate from Colony oil
Plttsburg. 1t is scarcely likely that
George j. Gould or President Ram
sey of the Wabash will listen TO this
dream of their ambitious rivals.

Concrete Retaining Wall.

Baker aud Judson, who have been
engaged In building Mopongahela
river locks for year or two, have
taken the contract for concrete
retaining wall 10 the rear of Science
Hal. The resisting power Of con-
crete wall is said to be greater than
that Of a wall Of masonry, and as the
wall will be heavily buttressed, no
mole trouble is anticipated from the
slips which have DESTROYED the old
one.

CAN THEY SELL BOOZE?
Decision of Supreme Court in
Test Case.
The court Overrules an Indictment
Against the Parkersburg Brewing
Company for Selling Beer in Salem
-Fairmout Brewery may Resume
Sales.

Sales.
Some months ago great hubbut
was raised here through the efforts of
the Fairmont Brewing company to sell
beer from ware house 10 South Nor
gantown. Steps were taken to inves-
tigate the matter when a similar case
was started IN Harrison county. The
report of the action OF the Supreme
court in this case Is as follows:
State OF West Virginia VS. Parkers-
burg Brewing Company, from Harris
on county, opinion by Miller, judge,
Judgment of the Circuit Court revers-
ed and annuled, the verdict OF the jury
set aside, the indictment quahsed aud
Judgment for the defendant.
10 September, 1901, the Parkers-
burg Brewing Company was indicted
in the Circuit Court OF Harrison coun-
ty undepsection 10, chapter 80, OF the
Code, for permitting the sale OF intox-
icating liquors, without state license
therefor, 10 building owned by said
brewing company.
The case was tried by jury and re-
s1lted in convicting the brewing COM
pany and imposing a foe Of $4,000,
from which writ of error was had
TO this court.
Held: An indictment under sec
ton % Of chapter 80 Of the Code, as a
specification Of the offense alleges
merely that the defendant ain the
house and building la said county,
knowingly and uulawfully permitted
intoxicating liquors 10 be sold and
vended contrary to law, is insufficient
and should be quashed by the court
on motion.
1t Is taken TO mean that the Fair
mont Brewery was acting within the
law as they were proceeding exactly
like the Parkersburg firm at Salem
burg. The establishment Of the feed
store 10 South Morgantown is expect
ed by many who have grown thirsty

SETTLE WITH COUNTY COURT
B. & N. Right of Way Man Here
Today.

Due County by Reason of Railroad
Crossings Some Slight Changes in
Road-work on Core Tunnel Pro-
crossing.
Charles Morris the Buckhannon and
Northern right OF way man, is in the
city today looking after some matters
in connection with building the road
through Monongalia County. EugIne
McFettridge, of Fairmont, will arrive
here this evening, and they will go
out To Mooresville tomorrow to go
over the line OF the road. Mr.. Morris
will get the county court together to-
day aud tomorrow. He desires to take
them over those parts Of the railroad
which intersect.the county roads. Sew
eral slight changes are to be made,
which, it is thought, will add TO the
safety and convenience of the travel
ing public,
The court will assess the damages
due to the county by reason of the
railroad crossings, and the changes
In the roads. All OF these matters
have been settled in Marion and Tay-
lor counties, and when the Mononga-
liza commissioners, are settled with,
the railroad will have no further trou-
BILE from this source in this section.
Work on the big tunnel on the Core
farm is progressing rapidly. The hill
has already been penetrated to dis
lance Of thirty feet ReiEhart and
company. who had the contract for 81
miles Of road, beginning at the state
line, let the contract for this tunnel
to Mason, King and Hoge This firm
bad big contract in Tennessee, and
was not very successful with the work
here. They have given up the work
10 part, and J. G. Wilbcrn, one OF
Remnants men has been placed in
charge. A big ill is to be made near
the tunnel and the course Of Dunkard
Creek will be changed slightly.
The contractors say Italians are OF
very little use in tunnel building
The work is more or less dangerous,
and their tmidity causes them too
lose too much time. Negroes are used
almost exclusively at the Core tuo-
mel, for work i0side the excavation.

where work will be pushed on the tun-
nels on Paw Paw and Jakes runs and
the bridge across the Monongahela at

S25.
From Thursdays Daily.
NJ. NJ. Creel and John Tough went
to Fairmont Sunday to get the horse
and blackboard which were boldly
taken from stable on the Avenue
about four weeks ago. The theft vas
one OF the boldest ever heard of Ia
this section. Nothing could be learn
ed OF the horse or the thief, and the
whole transaction was shrowded 10
mystery.
A reward OF S25 was offered for the
apprehension OF the thief and the re-
turn Of the property, and day or two
ago, the Fairmont police announced
that they had found the property.
Just what part the officers had in the
discovery, is not at all clear.
The horse and buggy were stolen on
the ninth Of October. On the morn
ing OF the sixteenth Of last month, a
strange horse and buggy were found
In Fairmont stable. The stablemen
say they were left there during the
night, and no one knew who left them,
or at what hour of the night. No in
formation was given to the FaiImont
police about the presence of the horse.
They say they expected the owner TO
turn up at any time aud did not know
they had stolen property In their pos
session
The horse shows some signs OF hard
usage, but is still good one, and
Creel Is tickled TO death To have his
property again. He never expected to
get 1t.
1t was not clear TO Mr.. Creel that
there was any reward coming To the
Fairmont police, and be was not In a
hurry to give up $25 for the slight
service they rendered after the stolen
property had been In that city for a
month or more. 10 this connection,
the Fairmont Times says:
"The local police, Of course,

least half OF that amount, but the
Morgantowners dubbed and beat
