GREENE MAY GET b. Il o.
Three. Quarters of a Century Ago
work Commenced on That Line.

July 6, 1926, work was eommenc-
ed on the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road, a wonderful undertaking at
that time, and then the people said
it was an undertaking that was in
domain of impossibilities OF accom-
plishment. But the folly of the ex-
pressed opinion of the wise ones and
even the "enterprising and all know
ing" press catered to the opinion
that snch task could never be ac
complished. The B. q o. company
was the first to demonstrate that a
road could be built and it was done
We are only removed from the
starting point of railroad building
three-q uartsrs of century, and now
the work of building or reproducing
the good old pioneer B, & 0. road
would be regarded as a mere break
fast spell IN this day of improved
methods of machinery and skill in
workmanship.
Some years later the company
sought to pass through this county
but met with unwise opposition.
Not to be kept out OF the rich coal
field we find the B. & O. surveying a
line from Cameron, passing through
the county of Greene to connect
with it's road at Point Marion, posi-
blv distance Of 40 or so miles.
This line passes through The south,
ern part of the comfy, enters the
rich Dunkard valley, and will cross
the Monongahela river at Point
Marion. We are informed that the
engineers are putting the finishing
touches on the surveys, and that the
road will be built. Such move on
the part of the company would save
them considerable haul from the
coke fields, and prove a cutoff of
very great Importance. The original
survey was through Waynesburg,
and Waynesburg would welcome
with open arms the B. d o. and if it
loes not reach us, we are glad that

Saturday Have 123
Randall Sale Exceeded tx,
in Spite of Rain Purchases !.
Closed up Today.
The opening aud lot sale at Randall
Saturday, was a surprising success
even to the promoters. The Keystone
Industrial Company, with every one
else, expected the rainy forenoon OF
Saturday to spoil the sale. There
were $50 lots sold, which amounted
in all to about $29, 600. The lowest
was $50, and the highest $50. To
day the officers OF the company here
are busy with the purchasers who are
closing up their purchases.
The concert Friday evening In front
Of the New Wallace Hotel served To
remind the populace that the next
day was the one for the opening of
"OWNAHOME, and large crowd
listened TO the concert. Late ia thu
night the rain began to fall and Sat
urday morning when the brave Seneca
band boys appeared on the street
their fine music barely served TO raise
the spirits of the persons interested.
At half-past eight O'Clock the crowd
sta rted for the depot, headed by the
band, and when the morning train
came a couple of hundred persons were
ready to get on. The rain continued
until almost noon, and the crowd at
Randall grew larger and larger, per-
sons coming from across the river on
the ferry, from Morgantown on the
steam yacht, from points below by
rail and surrounding country points In
carriages.
At noon the sale stopped for dinner
which was served free to the large
crowd. The clouds broke away after
dinner and more beautiful day could
not occur Auctioneer J. G. Morrow,
of Williamsburg, was in fine fettle and
the large crowd enjoyed the occasion
which marked the opening OF new
industrial town, which promises TO
grow rapidly. There was nothing to
mar the occasion, except the rain
early in the day.
The lots were bought by Morgan
town people, Greene county people,
Seneca people and people from the
West Side. They consider their pur-
chases to be rare bargains.
The Keystone Industrial Company
owned about l47 acres at Randall.
They bought several months ago for
$3.50 an acre, the whole tract costing
$36, $50. 1t is Familiarity known as
the old Alfred Yeager farm.
About "a acres of the land was sold
Saturday at the rate of 1929, per
acre. This leaves 1913 acres still in
possession of the company. Much of
this is already laid off in building lots,
with streets and alleys graded.
The land is underlaid with Freeport
coal. This was sold with the lots.
The last are conveyed in fee simple, the
company making no reservations
whatever.

POPE is DEAD
End Came at AIS this Afternoon
Rome Time.

Suffered Great Agony at the Last and
Physicians do not Understand Cause
of iI-F0rmal Announcement is made
of his Death.
A special cable from Rome receiy-
ed this afternoon states that formal
announcement has been made at the
Vatican that the Pope is dead
The death is announced to have
occurred at 4:15 this afternoon.
This Is Rome time which is several
hours earlier than Morgantown time.
At the last the aged Pontiff suffer
ed great agony. The cause for this
is puzzling the physicians who were
in attendance and who did every
thing to make his last hours com
Portable.
Il During the past twenty four hours
the Pontiff had fallen into stupor
from which he rallied only slightly.
He was unconscious for some time
before he passed away.
The ceremonies to be observed pend
ing the interment Of the Pope are iron
clad and will be followed to the letter.
All of the highest dignitaries of the
church have been in Rome for several
days awaiting the end which was in
evitable on account of the age of the
sufferer.

CYCLONE ON CHEAT
Wind Storm Mows Down Trees
On Mountain Side.

Safety-Worst Storm Ever known il
That Section.
A wind storm swooped down OF
the mountain side near Cheat Can
yon Club House Sunday evening
about five o'clock, and wrougai
havoc in the heavy timber, nearly
overturning the Cheat Canyon Club
House.
The storm occurred at the same
time of the heavy rainfall hers In
town. The wind blew from the west
moving down a path in the timber
about fifty feet wide extending from
near the residence of Emory Bayles
above the Club House to the east
side of Cheat. Big chestnut trees
along the side OF the pike just be.
yond the Club House were moved
down like grain in field, blockadinq
the road completely. The path left
by the storm looks just like NOW
ing machine, with acutting bar fifty
feet long had been run down the
mountain side cutting a swath OF
timber in its course
The path OF the storm was only q
hundred yards from the Club House
Had it struck this building,it would
have been hurled from its founda
ton into the canyon below. As il
was, the house quaked and shook
till its occupants were almost fright.
ened into the road for safety.
Professor and Mrs Patterson, Mr.
and Mrs Plumb and several other
parties were stopping at the Club
House.
Prof. Patterson was on the road
going out from town and got tho
benefit of the whole storm. Mr.
Plumb was coming over from the
hotel to the Club House and took
refuge in cottage near the bridge
After the storm, he could not get
past the Bayles place till the trees
were sawed out of the road. Several
other teams were caught on the east
side of Cheat river, and there was q
blockade of them for some time.
