CIRCUMSTANCIAL EVIDENCE
Not Strong Enough to Convict
Parties who Did Mysterious
Shooting.
Shooting at the Acme Still Mystery
Case Turned Over TO b. & o. Detec-
tive Nothing Done so Far--Chief-
is Certain He has Parties Spotted.

The mystery OF the shooting of
Andrew Closson, B. & o. baggage
master, while passing the Acme
Publishing Company's building a
month or more ago, has never been
solved, so far as the public is con-
cerned. The circumstances of the
shooting, the clues found by the po-
lice and the lack of anything def
mite to fix the identity of the man
and woman who did the shooting
are still fresh in the public mind.
Chief Price turned he case ever
to B. & O. detective Lambert some
time ago, at the suggestion OF Diyis-
ion TraiEmaster Moore He also
gave the detective all the lnforma-
tion he had gathered, and his theory
in regard to the shooting. SO far
Detective Lambert has not reported
any progress on the case. Closson
went back to his home, atGlen Eas-
ton, and was not able to resume his
duties for long time.
Chief Price says he is convinced
that he has the identity of the par
ties fixed. At best, however, he says
no case could be made against them
except on purely circumstantial evil
dence Nevertheless, there is a fine
chain of circumstances which leads
to the parties suspected.
The man and woman in the case
are both married, though the
woman's husband does not live in
Morgantown. They have been seen
together, on several occasions, at
times and in places that were such
as to excite considerable comment,
to say the least. An effort was made
at the Zine TO have the report spread
that the man in tue case was I'M
married.
The pocket Look which was found
the foot prints, and above all the
peculiar actions of the man suspect.
ed, when questioned about it, the
unlocking of the doors and other
slight incidents all point to the
guilt of the parties. The officer is
morally certain that he has them
spotted. but does not think he will
be able to get evidence enough to
convict them.
The announcement of the names
would create a mild sensation.

TWO CENTS
HOW IT is.
Frank Cox Talks in Defense of
Contracts.

He Says There is Nothing In the Pro-
posed Gas Contracts Which VIII
Relieve the company Of Besponsi.
bility but Does Not Tell why This
Provision Is Inserted.
Frank Cox on behalf of the Union
Utility company has issued the fol.
lowing statement to the public:
There has been considerable talk
IN relation to the application for the
burning of natural gas which the
Union Utility Company is asking
the consumer to sign. Upon ex
animation of the application it will
be seen that there is no effort or at
tempt on the part of the company to
contract against its negligence. The
application is very simple and
easily understood when examined.
Most of the opposition to 1t probably
arises from failure to understand
just what it means. 1t simply means
that the consumer takes the risk of
burning gas by reason of the highly
explosive and dangerous nature of
natural gas and the variable supply
and pressure of gas in this field.
These conditions exist and are not
made by the Union Utility Com
pany. They exist independently
of it. The consumer does not burn
gas at his own risk if by reason of
the company's negligence an injury
occurs. Nothing OF that kind is
contained in the contract and there
is no effort to avoid liability by
reason of negligence, if such negli
gence should exist ON the part of
the company. The conditions which
make it necessary to give notice to
the consumer are these: The field or
rock pressure, OF natural gas is now
very much reduced and is variable
in this field. 1t is more or less dan
gerous to burn natural gas with the
rock or field pressure so low and
variable as it now is. The Union
Utility Company cannot insure
against this variable pressure and
it wants its consumers to know it.
The company will do every thing in
its power to prevent injury or loss
to any one by reason of the variable
pressure, still, it could not hope at
all times to be able to regulate it so
as TO prevent possible injury.
The Union Utility Company in all
lines is doing its best for the com
munlty. 1t is using every modern
and up to date appliance and device,
not only to get supply of gas for
the city, but in so far as possible to
make it safe for the consumer; more
than this it could not be expected
to do.
A great many of the consumers
have signed the application and
they are still signing it at rapid
rate. There is nothing in the APP
plication that is not fair and there
is no valid reason why the applica-
ton should not be signed by any
one. 1t does not affect the insurance;
it does not relieve the company
against its own negligence, if it
should be guilty of negligence. 1t
simply gives notice to the consumer
that the pressure is variable after
the best that can be done to regulate
it, and asks the consumer to take
the risk of that variable condition
which is not the fault of the COM
pany.

LAND is VALUABLE.
Slate Deposits in Berkeley
County are Very Rich.

Company With Local Members to Nine
the SIste-So Something About Their
Plans-Slate Lands Have Gone up in
Price Recently and Will go Still
Higher.
Some time ago steps were taken to
form slate company in this section.
George B. Gerau OF this place was at
the head of the movement which has
met with success. The company has
several other members in this town
and county. Something Of their plans
and prospects IL told in the following
from the Martinsburg World.
The inexhausJible slate deposit in
Berkeley county has been the means
OF attracting the attention Of the out
side business world, and capitalists
from all parts OF the country have
been acquiring large tracts Of slate
land in very quiet manner, thus
keeping the public at large in igno>
rance OF the fact that the development
now going on indicates great Indus
trial future for the eastern part Of the
state.
During the past two months there
has been considerable excitement In
and about the community OF Martins
burg in relation to several expert slate
biologists coming to this vicinity,
who, 1t is presumed, were sent down
here by slate manufacturers for the
express purpose of testing cleavage
and market quality of the slate, and
although nobody has interviewed these
men public opinion regards their iu-
vestigation as a favorable criterion,
owing TO the large sum Of money hav-
ing been invested in slate territory
since their departure.
As matter OF fact, the people of
Berkeley county owning slate proper
tyl seem to be getting aware of the
fact that there is great future in
store for them and as result of the
present investments made in this
county, property has advanced from
$3.50 per acre to 5000, and in some
instances as high as $3.50.
On the 10Th day of October the sec
rotary of state issued charter to the
Superior Slate Manufacturing Co.,
which has been recently organized
with a capital Of SIPS, 900 to develop
their slate territory purchased recently
at cost OF $3.50, an acre. The slate
business has now become quite extern
siyely known and is no longer secret,
consequently men are fiocking in from
day to day from Pittsburg, Wheeling
New York, Cincinnati, and in fact,
from all parts Of the country. There
is no question about the slate in
Berkeley county being the largest and
probably the best deposits Of its kind
in the states, and the people who had
formerly been laboring under an i'm
preston that the deposit In this ter
ritory was only mass of shale have
awakened to the fact that the actual
resources, which seem to be inexhaus-
tible and the qualification Of same
have been kept secret from them,
and their relative merits, geological
reports, etc., have been pigeonholed
by nothing more or less than political
influences. The slate in this country
such as we find in the peach bottom
and Lehigh region cannot be purchas-
ed for So, 900 an acre, so our friends
can readily appreciate the fact that
the price having increased to $3.50 an
acre is minimum figure and small
consideration in comparison to the
intrinsic value of slate territory.

TWO SAD STORIES
Of Camden Woman and Bangor Man
Brought to Authorities Attention.

Bangor, Me-, April 5.-Two unusual
cases were brought before the Mangor
municipal officers, Saturday. A petit
ton from Charles Rollins of Camden
for the commitment of his wife, Jennie
to the insane hospital was denied
physicians testifying that the woman
was insane only at intervals and then
only because of a serious physical dis
order. Mrs. Rollins told a pitiful story
of her life, saying that she had three
times attempted suicide because of her
ailment.
The other case was that of Harry
Munson, who formerly kept a restau-
rant and barroom in Bangor. Munson
has become physically and mentally in
capacited through drink and last De-
cember a guardian was appointed for
him, but before anything could be done
to guard his interests he disappeared.
He lately returned and it has been
decided to place him under arrest on
the charge of disturbance in order that
he may be held until the guardian can
straighten out his affairs, in which
considerable money and property is in
volved.
Munson is reported to be prospective
heir to 100000. and it is said that he
has been systematically feeced by
sharpers.

PAPER MILL CLOSED.
Orono Employees Strike and Company
Pays off and Stops Work.

Orono, Me-, April 5.-The union paper
makers of the Orono Pulp and Paper
Cos. mill at Basin Mills struck, to-
day, and all of the other employees Of
the paper mill, about 40 in all includ-
ing the girls in the finishing depart
ment, went out with them. All were
paid off in full and the mill shut down,
last night.
About one week ago the union paper
makers at this mill and also of the In
ternational Cos. mill at Webster ask
ed for a 60-hour week instead of 60
hours. The demand was granted at the
Webster mill. Supt. Sawyer of the Oro-
no mill refused to meet any union rep
resentative, but this morning agreed to
raise the paper makers az cents an
hour.
The men replied that they were sat
isfied, with the rate of pay but wanted
shorter hours, uniform 10-hour Sched-
ule for the day and night crews. This
was refused and all We're paid off, to-
day.
The Orono paper mill operates two
machines on paper bag stock and wrap
ping paper and has large standing con-
tracts. Most of the employees have
homes here. The pay has ranged from
81 to SO a day.
A long shut down is anticipated, as
extensive alterations and repairs are
to be made on the plant. A number of
the strikers will leave, next week, for
other mills.

will open their three nights engage
ment tonight in f. H. Sothern's great
romantic play IAN Enemy to the
King" which Mr.. Ryan promises to be
equal to any $3.50 attraction travelling.
Mr.. Ryan now has over 100000 worth

greatest amount ever brought to this
city. Tuesday night a lavish produc-
ton of last seasons success Three
