TWO CENTS
COAL ROAD DELAYED.
Booths Greek r. r. will be
Costly Enterprise.

Clinton Coal and Coke Uonpany's
Mines Will not be Sold Survey Made
for Coal Road Increasing Capital to
S1,000,O00.
Building of the coal railway up
Booths Creek TO the opening of the
Clinton Coal and Coke Company's
mines has been unexpectedly delay
ed for while. 1t is said that it
it will be built however ia time, aud
big coke plant installed.
The Clinton Coke Company owns
1000 acres of fine Freeport coal lying
between Booths Creek and Cobun's
Creek. A few weeks ago Mr.. Duncan
of Washington Pa, representing this
company was here and had survey
made for a branch railroad leading
from Ellington up Booths Creek
about four miles. AT the terminus
Of this road, mines are to DC opened
and about 800 modern coke ovens
built.
When the railraad surveys were
completed and a estimate made OF
the cost of building the branch it
was found that about $4,000 per
mile would have To be expended to
make first class road The great
cost of the enterprise was a surprise
to the promoters, and has caused
them to take little time to get
their bearings again.
The company is increasing the
capital to a million dollars, and will
eventually build the railroad aud
develop this coal. 1t is very fine
coking coal.
Mr.. I. d. Stewart, one OF the at
torneys representing the Clinton
Coke Company was asked about the
report that this company was con
templating selling out their holdings.
He said he had met the managers a
few days ago in Pittsburg ON bust
ness, and there was no intimation of
any such intention.

DIR. STENARTAFTER THEM
Has Warrants out for Men Who Spoil
ed his Sign.

DR. W. E. Stewart, dentist, has
had warrants issued for the men
whom he thinks are responsible for
spelling his office sign last March.
He had costly canvass sign which
projected over the pavement. One
morning it was found painted black
and the lamp missing.
He has been looking for the van
dals ever since and offered a reward
of $500 He now has evidence
which he thinks will lead to the CON
yiction of the party who did it and
the man who paid to have it done.
One man was arrested yesterday,
but was found to be the wrong man.
He says the man who did the paint
ing is out Of town now and the war
rants are filed awaiting his return.

WILL TEST ORDINANCE.
Arrest OF James Farley Causes
Stir in Police Circles.

Attorney GOrman Claims Man Cannot
be Placed in Jail for Being Drunk
Farley Paid His Pine, but Will Bring
suit for False Imprisonment
Yesterday afternoon Policeman
Frank Canoe was informed by we'll
known citizen of the city that man
was lying on the pavement in drunk
en- stupor in front of the Peasants
Corner Restaurant, that his pockets
were full Of money, and he had better
| be looked after Canoe went to the
scene at once and found James Far
/ ley in the restaurant, in state of In
toxication. He was eating, and when
| be had finished Canoe arrested him.
The proprietors Of the place protested
| but the officer took his man. On the
way to jail Farley made some resis-
| lance, and objected strenuously to be.
ing searched when inside. In record
ing the arrest, Canoe made the charge
'sdrunk and disorderly,' and thereby
| hangs tale.
Gallagher and Fisher, proprietors OF
the restaurant, appeared before the
mayor this morning, M. & German
being the attorney, and insisted that
the officer had no right to make an
arrest In their place without war
rant. Mayor McGrew held that the
restaurant business was carried on I'M
der city license, the place was there
fore public and the officer could ar
rest without warrant.
This point settled, Mr.. German en-
tered plea of "not guilty." The ordi-
nance says man may be arrested and
fined 81 90 for getting drunk in the
city. 1t says nothing about 'beingn
drunk, or placing the offender in jail
Mr.. German claimed his client got
drunk in Point Marion, and anyway
could not be placed in Jail for being
drunk.
Another ordinance says that per-
son may be arrested, placed in jail,
and fined for being drunk and disor-
derby; that in case he eludes arrest, in
any manner, he can be arrested on war
rant, and warrant only. Mr.. German
plead that his client went into the
restaurant to elude arrest, and could
not be taken without warrant
Mayor McGrew found the prisoner
guilty of being drunk, and fined him
81. 90 and costs. He dismissed the
charg of disorderly conduct, since it
was shown that this did not not occur
until after the arrest. The restaurant
proprietors paid the fine.
Now, Farley will bring suit against
Canoe for false imprisonment, on the
ground that he could not be put IN
jail for being drunk.
Gallaher and Fisher, the restaurant
men, will bring another suit because
the officer entered their place Of BUSH
ness and made an arrest without
warrant. Mr.. German has both or
these, and will bring them before the
Circuit Court.
liza man can not be put In Jail for
being drunk, the city has been wrong
for long time. These test cases will
be interesting.

NARROW ESCAPES.
Summer Boarders Almost
Drown in Cheat River.

Sister aud Brother 60 Down for the
Third Time u. d. DAILY Rescued
Them and After short Time They
are Both Resuscitated.
Cheat River has not claimed any
victims SO far this summer but the
treacherous stream is hungry for its
annual toll aud has been trying its
best to appease its carniverous longing.
Two victims have narrowly escaped
from resting below its cruel waves
The story Of how they escaped is TO be
fond in the following letter from
Mott Chateau:
While bathing in the Cheat river
yesterday Miss Maud Morrow and her
brother Merrill Morrow, of Wilkins
burg, had narrow escapes from drown
ing, and but for the presence Of mind
and excellent swimming ability OF j.
B. DAILY, a young Philadelphia attor-
ney, both would undoubtedly have
persisted.
Miss Morrow, in company With a
number of guests from the Mont
Chateau Hotel, was bathing along the
beach, when the young woman was
caught by the treacherous undercur-
rent and carried to that portion OF the
river where the water is said To be
more than 40 feet in depth. Her
strength was rapidly failing her, and
she had gone down for the third time
when DAILY, the only one in the party
who could swim, saw her plight and
FASTENED to her rescue. She bad dis
appeared from sight, but the plucky
young man dove beneath the surface
and brought her up.
While this scene was being enacted
the young woman's brother, crazed
by his sisters danger, rushed into the
water and was soon beyond his depth
He too was unable TO swim, and DAILY,
after deposlting the young woman on
the shore, swan rapidly to the rescue
Of the young man. Like his sister,
Morrow had sunk for the third time,
but DAILY was enabled to bring him 20
the surface. Days strength was rap
idly diminishing, and it is doubtful
If he would have been able to bring
the young man to the shore had not
those standing near pushed out large
log, to which the two young men chung
until they could be drawn to the
beach. The young woman and her
brother were quickly resuseitated and
taken to the hotel.

SAVES 50 MILES
Does B. & o. short line from
Cumberland to Wheeling.

Right of way man re-M0rgantoUn
on Route Surveyors working east
and West of this Place-HandaH in
it.
B. and O. right OF way man W. O.
Wilson Of Cans Pa went to his home
at that place this morning. He had
been here tor a few days looking
over the route Of the Morgantown
and Confluence section Of the b. and
c. road, on which engineers are now
busily at work.
Mr.. Wilson recently came here
from Jefferson and Berkeley coun-
ties, where he has been engaged for
some time in securing right of way
past Shepherdstown for the new B.
and O. cut off to be made for freight
hauling in that section.
He will be employed in securing
rights of way on short line east
from here by way Of Confluence Pa,
and the Cumberland and Pittsburg
branch.
This is the route on which Mr..
w. l.. Sisson has large force of
engineers making what appears to
be the final surveys and location for
this branch.
1t it learned that this Morgan
town and Confluence road is only
one section in new route from Cum
berland to Wheeling and continuing
on West to Chicago.
Great Efforts are being made to
shorten the distance by railroad
between the east and Chicago. The
first surveys made followed prinei-
pally the crooked courses in order
to avoid heavy grades, tunnels etc.
The country was then unknown, and
surveying was too expensive to at
tempt it over doubtful routes.
With more knowledge Of the coun-
try the railroad companies are finding
new and shorter routes that are prac-
ticable.
It is more than 200 miles from
Cumberland to Wheeling by either
tOubS ny Way VI 0idLbOH duu dlIuOuU.
or by way of Connellsyille and Pitts
burg.
BY Confluence and Morgantown, and
the new route being surveyed between
here Wheeling, the distance is said
to be only about 40 miles This
would make a saving Of nearly two
hours in a run from Cumberland to
Chicago, by way of Wheeling, and the
new section of road would traverse
one of the richest coal fields in the
Appalachian region.
One or two corps Of surveyors, sup
posed to be in the employ Of the B.
& o. have been at work between here
and Wheeling for some time. These
are probably making the preliminary
surveys on the section of this short
line from Wheeling to Morgantown.
The little village at Randall seems
to be about on the line of the survey
for this new transcontinental route.

Another Report that Glass blowing
machines will not work Successfully.

Another report has been started
that glass workers machines arc no
good. This time it is alleged that
several manufacturers have entered a
factory where the machines were in
operation. They crawled through
hole in the fence. They say that the
glass is not up to standard and that it
will be years before the machines work
to any good purpose. On the other
hand it is alleged that the machines
are all right and the American Win
dow Glass company is expanding large
sums of money equipping their best
plants with them,
