THROWN UP HIS HANDS.
Sturgiss Declares That He has
Quit Railroad Plan.

People of the County are more Inter
ested in Scheme than He is so HI
Declares-0bjeetions by Count,
Court to Mere Filing of Order ha,
Disguised Him.
Hon. George G. Sturgiss is dis
gruntled over the disposition which
the county court made of his pro,
posed bond issue. He stopped Q
a repr esentatiye of this paper on the
street this morning to make some
explanations about it.
He stated that the order was
merely presented to the court and
they were asked to file it in order
that any one might examine it and
that it might be the basis for what
ever was done. The voters could
then see it and they could sign peti.
tions for or against it and know Just
what they were doing
q am through with it. / shall
not ask the court to pass any order
whatsoever. Objections have been
made to the order as introduced.
1t it fails there won't be a railroad
in Clay or Battelle districts for
years to come"
"At my age there is no induce
ment whatever to go into cam
paign in which every man must be
pulled into voting for something
which will be much more to his own
interests than they are to mine.
"Why this county was given the
chance to get Is miles of railroad
for $3.50, 200 loaned to the promoters.
This amount was to have been paid
back every cent OF it, There is Oh
lection raised to it and | have wash
ed my hands Of the whole matter. |
have no desire to 60 into such cam
paign and shall not dose"
"The court refused to even file The
proposed order although filing it
committed them to nothing. fhe
only purpose of placing it before
them was that we might have a
working basis for a railroad PROPOSE
tion."
IF the people OF this county don't
want the road they will notbe forced
to take it,
"Hhe road was to have run from
Morgantown to the Ohio river to a
junction with the Wabash 1t was
to have had branches up Dents run
and down Indian Creek to the river,
and another TO Waynesburg where
it was to have Joined the Wabash
again.
1T would have been worth mil
lions of dollars TO the county. They
are simply asked to lend the part of
money required to construct the
road 1t was to have cost S25, 900 a
mile and the county was asked to
lend $4,000 of this. They would
have received every cent back. But
they seem disposed TO kick about it
and they can do so if they choose to
do do so. / have quit"

MINES FLOURIsHING.
Fulmer Mines have Produced Three
Hundred Tons Day and Employ
About Fifty Men.

The Fnlmer mines up the M and X
have been developed with very little
noise or excitement but they have
gone along steadily. They have
mined as high as 800 tons day
and have about forty -fve or fifty
men on the pay roll. Mr.. Fulmer
says that he doesn't expect to put
in any coke ovens as long as mar
ket can be found for the coal itself
and states that no trouble has been
encountered in disposing of the coal
as fast as it can be delivered.
Other mines up the M. &. K. are

ANOTHER VICTIM.
Mopongahela Claims Strong
and Vigorous Man.

Arlington Pixler Went Down to DEATH
at the Wharf Just Before Noon
Heart Rending Grief of the Wife 81
Suddenly Widowed Arouses Deepest
Pity of Bystanders- Horse and Mar
Went to Death.
"Oh, shall never see Arl again
How can | stand it? He is gone from
me and never again shall / see hi:
face. o God give me strength tx
bear it,
So wept Mrs. Arlington G. Pixlel
on the wharf just before noon. She
had received the shocking news that
her husband who had left her in the
strength OF vigorous manhood this
morning had been splucked from hel
side by untimely death and had gone
down under the muddy waters of the
Moneugahela
Kind hands led her away and friends
tried to offer words of consolation and
hope. They felt that her grief was
too great to be assauged with words,
but they strove TO sustain and give
her strength to bear the terrible blow
which had fallen so suddenly and
without preparation upon her.
She was taken TO the little home at
the end of the suspension bridge
where she aiJed dry eyed and grief
stricken for news from the searchers
who dragged the river for her loved
one.
Arlington Pixler was employed as a
driver for Price Brothers. At eleven
o'clock he drove down to the wharf to
wash his wagon. He went into the
river and never came out.
1t is not known how it happened,
but he evidently drove too far out.
The horse got beyond his depth and
fell. Pixler chung to the wagon des-
perately and screamed for help.
He was soon torn from the wagon
and drifted down the river vainly try
ing to swim, but the icy waters soon
chilled him so that be sank from
sight for the last time.
A number of people were on the
bank but they were powerless to reach
him In time. A boat was near, but
before it could come to his rescue he
had sunk under the muddy, cruel
waves.
Plxler's body was found in thirty
minutes, but all efforts at resuscita-
tion were unavailiDg. Several doctors
worked over him until they were
forced reluctantly to relinquish their
task.
The horse and wagon were recov-
cred. The place where the drowning
occurred is near the one where John
Hare lost a mule team few months
ago.
Pixler lived in the house near the
suspension bridge He leaves wife
and five children. He was a member
CT the local lodge K. OF p. and was
universally respected, He had been
employed by Price Brothers for years.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Aug. S.-The list OF extreme
breaks in prices in today's stock market
conveys the best description OF the dls-
orderly selling movement which followed
upon the appearance of the bank state
ment. Another increase of S., S32 500 IN the
loan account of the banks, after week
OF such painful liquidation as to be upon
the verge of panic at times, upset the
newly found equanimity OF the market,
and an avalanche of selling orders came
into the already wavering market Prices
yielded with a downward plunge to the
lowest prices generally for the year
Where there were except ons 1t seemed
due principally to the fact that traders
were so busy with the active stocks as
not to have time to spare for the exempt
stocks. Wall Street has been busy all
week with attempts to explain last week S
small increase in loans, without any con-
census of opinion on the subject, so that

fiCs the obscurity. 1t Is likely that the

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, La, Aug. S.-The spot cot
ton market was easy. Sales 500 bales; de
li,ered on contract 200; quotations reduced
Is Futures opened quiet and steady
with prices at about yesterdays closing
level. The undertone of the market was
good but a desire on the part OF traders
and scalpers to even up and close out at
the weeks end caused some selling which
weighed prices down. Liverpool cables to-
day reported heavy sales there after
hours yesterday, bringing the total spot
sales of Friday up to $4,000 bales, which
is phenomenal considering the situation
and the season. 1t was claimed that much
or the cotton represented IN this trading
was of low grade and was bought for ex-
port to the United States, where 1t Is to
be rendered on August contracts Trad
ing light The list at the close showed
net losses on the day of five points each
on August and September four, October
and three points each on the more distant
positions.
