which the car line passes are paved
and the cars will be running over
them on or before July first.
These lots vary in size from
45x100 feet to over 50x125 fees.
Lots located not over three squaree
distant from there sell at from thret
to five thousand dollars and are not
so large. In the course of the next
two or three years these lots will
occupy central position in the resi-
dent part of the city, the growth of
same being today In that direction.
! will be glad to show this proper
ty to any or all who may desire to
look whether they buy or not. The
terms will be made as reasonable as

RUTHLESS HANDS
Destroying Mute Evidences of
Winters Neglect.

Real Stsne Being put on the Deckers
Greek Road Bad Places are Being
Made Good-6eneral Rejoicing over
the 0bliteration of the Slough OF
DespOnd.
A gang OF workmen have actually
been set TO repairing the road up
Deckers Creek leading to the Mar
rilla Glass works.
There have been some terribly
blood curdling tragedies enacted
over this section road in the past
few month. 1t has been the model
of bad roads for all the other high
ways leading out of the city, but has
had no serious result except in num-
Der horses crippled, and horseshoes
lost.
The antiquarian of future years
will find one section of this road
near the Hogback an interesting
field Tor research. Persistent aud
continued excavation here will un
fold many page in the past win
ters history of stalled teams, drowa-
ed dogs, cows and other live stock,
submerged hay loads, lumber con
signments, stone, brick, lime, and
the various articles OF commerce at
tempted to be transported over this
Slough of Despond.
1t may be that the petrified forms
of human beings supposed to DE car
ried away by the flood in Decker's
Creek, will be found compressed
among the great variety of commod
tiles of the twentieth century buried
here.
But new era has dawned, and
will have TO hunt other
Unheard of methods ore
being used TO rid the community of
this recoi der of current HISTORY.
Tile drains and broken stone are be-
ing used on the road--real, genuine
stone that will not work into mire
with the next shower.
II the council will continue this
policy of providing passable road
up Decker's creek all the inhabl-
tants of the valley, will join with
the village of Marilla to erect
monument on the Peninsula in hon
or of the new city fathers.

PLANT MAY MOVE?
Special From New York Seems
to Mean That.
West Virginia Plate Glass Company
not Certain About Remaining Here
Other Towns said to be After it,
Local Managers Want TO Stay.

New YORK, June Sit was an
nounced in Wall street today that
the halt million dollar bond issue OF
the West Virginia Plate Glass Com
pany has been underwritten by
syndicate OF prominent financiers.
This guarantees that the bonds will
be sold and the money turned over
to the management Tor charging
and perfecting the plant of the West
Virginia Plate Glass Company IS an
interesting fact for all West Vir-
ginians, because the bond sale en-
sures also the disposal of all the
stock yet remaining in the treasury
Uuder instructions received from
the Wall street syndicate, the mana
ayers will at once begin operations
in establishing gigantic plant, the
first section to be completed during
the present summer and will employ
not less than $50 men and the entire
plant will require the labor of over
LOCO skilled operatives.
Atpresent the Company is located
normally at Morgantown, where the
active managers prefer to keep it,
but the Wall street men favor its
removal elsewhere as numerous offers
of extensive building sites and
handsome cash bonuses have been
rendered BY such towns as Grafton,
Clarkesburg, Patten Valley, Wheel
ing, Buckhannon, Fairplont, and
other West Virginia eities and
towns.
So extensive is the influence of
the Wall street bond syndicate that
it has received similar offers from
Indiana, Illinois and Ohio towns
The large number Of employees
necessary for a plant like that of
the West Virginia Plate Glass Com
pany and the enormous quantity of
raw material that it will require
renders such an establishment OF
immense value to any town in which
It may be located When is is re-
membered that eventually there will
be a weekly payroll of 100000 and
at least an expenditure OF as much
more for raw material, packing and
shipping and transportation, it
seems pity that Moig&ntown
should lose this plant.
President Frank S. Broekett is
anxious to keep it at Morgantown |
but unless the citizens of that place
stir themselves the prize will be
won by some more enterprising
community. 1t may even get out Of
the State of West Virginia.
Judging from Wall street gossip |
it is Intended to make Mr.. Brockett's |
Company the leader in its line of
production, the question of capital
and extention having been definitely |
settled.
West Virginia is so rich in the
materials necessary for the produc
ing high class plate glass, that style |
OF manufacture naturally belongs |
there, and the question now it which |
of these towns will secure the Com
pany as part of it's corporate as

VARSITY WoN SLEEPY GAME.
Allegheny Defeated Yesterday -Cron-
niger Pitched and Fielded Well
Score by Innings.

The dove OF peace lowered over the
Athletic Field yesterday afternoon.
In fact Il was so quiet that it seemed
as if a whole flock of doves had gone
into the lowering business, and had
all hung out their shingles between
the Armory aud Commencement Hall.
The Varsity Allegheny base ball
game was Quieter than a deaf mute at
funeral The spectators spoke in
whispers, and once when Boyce Reyn-
Odds let out a whoop at first, the null
titude-the very small multitude,
seemed horribly shocked.
The game was listless from start
to finish. The Varsity won it, how
ever, and that's worth considerable.
Gronniger pitched an excellent
game, and had the visitors beat from
the start. His phenomenal fielding
was feature Of the game The
crowd nearly woke up once when he
caught Comfort walking off first.
Taylor, the Allegheny pitcher, gave
a base on balls with the bases full,
thus forcing in rnn. Jack Downey
was the umpire, and a good one He
succeeded in satisfying the crowd and
both teams
