for Site Description of Product.

A new company has been organ
lied here for the manufacture of con.
crete building blocks, which it is
thought will have a very important
bearing on building operations in
this vicinity. They arc now looking
for site ON which to locate per-
manent' plant. All the necessary
machinery has been ordered, and the
new plant will be turning out blocks
in go days, The company has not
been chartered, but will be soon.
The men interested in the new en-
terprise are George c. Hess, A. L.
Demoss, S. r. Hall and D. c. Core.
A fifth man will be taken in, and the
company will be incorporated. G. A.
Chamberlain, Of Jackson, Mich, rep,
resenting the cement machine com
pany, has been here at intervals for
two or three weeks. He and FL. III.
Lanham, OF Fairmont, were the prime
factors in organizing the enterprise.
A similar company was organized in
Fairmont
The building blocks are made of
sand and Portland cement. The
process of manufacture is very sim
pie. The blocks can be made where
the building is being erected. They
can be made in any size, shape or
color, with plain or decorated faces
in any design.
The concrete blocks are cheaper
and more durable than stone or
bricks. A block can be made in 3S
seconds, on test, but one in two
minutes is the usual speed. They
are left in the open air oyer night.
and are then ready to put into the
building Exposure to the elements
makes them harder and more dura
Bile The longer building of this
kind stands the more substantial it
becomes.
A block OF the size usually made
takes the place of forty bricks. The
blocks are hollow, and hence cannot
be penetrated by frost One thick
ness mades the best kind of a wall
for cellar
The company already has requests
for bids on three buildings, and will
be prepared to fill orders in 60 DAYS

Running by December |, 90-Buying Ties and Poes-Why
Pentress Deal Failed

Dirt is flying on the Wabash on
Jake's Run today. The work was
begun with some ceremony this
morning when contractor Ferguson
stuck silver pick into the ground
and broke a bottle of champagne.
About thirty workmen began the
work, and in a few days this number
will be increased TO several hundred.
Three big Wabash camps are now
located in this county. These are at
McCurdysvllle, Mooresville and the
one at Jake's Rua. At the latter
place seventeen big shanties have
been built, and a big store room
Similar camps are located at Me.
Curdysyille and Mooresville.
Mr.. Wilbur Ham, well known
oil man of Statler's Run, was IN town
today. He says that the activity in
that section at the present time is
wonderful. The people all along the
ronte are excited over the prospects,
and have right to be-
For several weeks big teams of
mules have been busy rushing lum-
Der for the camps tiom Fairmont to
MeCurdysville. The teams are driv-
en- in a trot from the railroad station
and back, and were the animals not
the fine specimens they are, dead
mules would have strewn the road
side between the places.
Large bodies OF men are being
transferred almost daily from the
interior of the state TO the camps in
this county. They are brought in
as as the work is completed on the
B. & o. and elsewL ere down in the
state. Lots of Monongalia men are
getting jobs with the construction
gang.
Along with the army Of workmen
have come the usual number and va
riety of camp followers, storekeepers,
booze peddlers, land sealpers and
men of other callings, who hope to
make their share out oil, the enter
Prise, have followed in the wake OF
the workmen, aid the county is
swarming with them. The boom of
business is felt, and the new order of
things has asserted itself.

have timber can sell it by saying so.
This also means that money is sud.

route.

be running over the Wabash in this
county. In regard to this Mr.. Ham
says be asked the question of one of
the meo who ought to know. aWhen
will the road be finishedY' The re-
ply was, "A railroad is never com
pleted, but cars will be running over
these tracks before Dee. /, 1904
This is promising good deal. but
1000 workmen will be at work in the
three places in "a few weeks. and Il
will go rapidly.
The people OF Mooresville and vi
entity confidently expect the NJ. II
Il. to make connection with the
Wabash at that point. They believe
that Senator Elkins has always in
tended to do this, and will not lose
an opportunity to double the value
OF the road for the cost of building
II or ID miles to Mooresyille.
Mr.. Ham says the people are very
antagonistic to the b & O., and
would not extend them the glad
hand should they try to parallel the
Wabash. They want none of the B.
d o., and would hold them up in the
most approved style.
A big land deal in which James r.
Linn, Of Fairmont, was interested.
Was reported from Pentress me
time ago The deal was nuke. Ii
was rumored abroad that there would
be Il junction of the b. & o. and the
Wabash near there, and Mr.. Linn
decided to buy.
He went to the place with Mr..
Morris, the Wabash right of-way
man, and this led the owners to
believe he wanted to purchase for
the Wabash. They priced their
land accordingly, and it was out
OF reach for speculation.

ROOMS BEAUTIFUL.
Improvements at Public School Build.
Examination in Progress.

Ing -EAhIhlHdblOH Ill Il IUSIesos
The ceilings have been calcimIned
and the walls have been BEAUTIFULLY
tinted in three of the rooms of the
public school building. The work
was done by Low w. Morgan. The
colors have been mingled with fine
skill, and the effect is most pleasing
to the eye The blending is har-
monious, and the tints most appro-
pirate for a room in which it is
necessary to use the eyes constantly.
One new room has been fitted up
for the use of Superintendent Gallup
in class work. II was not originally
intended for use as a class room.
Mr., Snyder, the janitor, did the
work, boring holes in the brick wall
to nail the wainscoting on. The
room is a very handsome one.
The whole building is as clean as
new pm from top to bottom, for
the reception of the children next
Tuesday.
Today nine teachers are taking
the examination. Miss Miller has
not arrived yet, but is expected this
evening. The colored teacher, who
will also have TO take the examina-
tion, has not arrived.

WORKING ON TUNNEL.
Seventy Five Men are Digging Away
at the Hole in the Ground on Jake's

Run.
The first actual work of construc-
ton done on the northern end of the
Buckhannon and Northern railroad
was the digging and shoveling which
was commenced at one o'clock this af-
ternoon on the tunnel, called "Ten-
nant's tunnel No. 2'' on the Sim Ten
nant place at the head of Little Paw
Paw Greek, says the Fairmont Times.
The sub-contract0rs at this camp
are j. W. Feamster and Company, and
B. b. Clapsaddle, one of the well
known railroad workers of the country,
is the foreman. About seventy-flve
men are at work More will be ad-
ded as soon as they can be placed to
advantage.
The right of way for the tunnel was
secured some days ago by Right of
Way Agent Charles Morris. He is
now at work on the line in that Sec
ton, All the rights of way, except a
few farms, have been secured from the
head of Little Paw Paw to the State
line. The farmers in that section
have proven themselves friendly to the
new enterprise which will do SO much
to increase the value Of their farms,
and have treated the contractors and
all agents of the company with fair
ness and liberality.
The Tenant tunnel is about eight
teen hundred feet long. 1t will con-
meet Paw Paw with Jake's Run.

MARKED BY BLOOD
Was the Trail of Woman who
Crawled to Her Home

After Receiving Severe Beating by
Young men Whose Indignation would
Not Stand Repeated AssauIts-BoOze
Crazed Woman and Her Escapades
Near Smithtown.
Mrs. William BARRIE, who lives
at Burners Ridge, near Smithtown,
was terribly beaten by four young
men Saturday. She became insen-
sible and after recovering had to
crawl a greater part Of the way
home, leaving a trail of blood behind
her.
The woman in the case is one of
the toughest characters in the coun-
try. She separated from her hus-
band some years ago, and has been
in the habit OF going to Fairmont
and loading up with tanglefoot.
When drunk she is abusive to a
degree, and uses language that is
enough to shock wooden Indian.
On Saturday she was drunk and
came to store near her home.
Here she found number of young
people of both sexes. She proceeded
to make use of some vile language.
This led to her being chased home
by some of the young men.
Returning with gun, she renew
ed the attack and. after being called
down vigorously, she jumped from
her dog cart and proceeded to beat
a little neice she had with her.
This reused the spectators, and
four of them taking the whip from
her, gave her licking that she will
remember as long as she lives.
They beat her into insensibility
and left her lying on the ground.
After a while she recovered and
crawled home, leaving a trail OF
blood behind her. Yesterday she
had recovered enough to swear out
warrants for her assailants. They
were fined sums aggregatlng about
$50. A large crowd was present at
the hearing, and they raised the
money to pay the fines. Their
names will not be gwen out by their
neighbors, who thoroughly approve
of what was done.

Warrants Issued for AssaiIants-
Women Grossly Insulted by Loafers
This morning two workmen wer,
assaulted on Beechurst by strikers
or their sympathizers. The mer
assaulted were Ii. w. Lackey, of The
Seneca and a workmen named
Jollife who is employed at the
Economy.
Warrants have been issued fol
the arrest Of George Baker and q
Stevens whose first name is I'm
known. Constable Jolliffe went
after the men but had not arrested
them at two this afternoon being
unable to find them.
The assault grew out of the
troubles in labor circles in that
section of the town. Lackey and
Jolliffe state that they were accosted
by the men who assaulted them at
Sth street.
One of them asked Are You going
to work this morning."
Yes, vas the reply.
Then it is the last time you go
to work, was the response, accom-.
panied by blow.
The fight then waxed fast aud
furious and Laekey was badly
mauled. He came to town and swore
out the warrants mentioned above.
Two women who have been at
work were grossly insulted by some
men who stood near by as they
passed this morning. They were
told OF an alternative too vile to
mention which they might accept
instead of working and informed
them that they could make more
money than by working in a scab
factory
No statement could be elected
from the strikers as to the identity
OF the men who committed the
assault, or the merits of the case.
One of those asked, said that it was
simply fight between striker
and some seabs.
