WITH THE BUILDERS.
Another Planning Mill to Locate
In Morgantown.


Conneiisville People Rave Found a
Location and Agreed upon Purchase
Price Handsome Buildings to be
Erected on Chancery Row In the
Very Near Future.
Messrs Moon and Bailey of Con
nellsyille have been in town looking
for a location for planning mill.
They have decided to move to Nor
gantown. They decided upon a site
on the Fulmer branch of the M. 4
X. near Sabraton.
They communicated their decision
to Mr.. Sturgiss who gave them a
price on the site. They said that
they intended to accept the offer.
They will be here soon and win
start the erection Of their plant.
Few details could be ascertained
Of their plans. They will use prin-
cipally gum in making various
articles and will run a planning mill.
They will probably go into the con-
tracing business also.
Cox and Baker have had plans
prepared for a three story Office
building on Chancery row adjoining
the Hall building This building is
to be Is feet front by 10 deep and
will be built of brick with a hand
some stone front. 1t will te com
posed exclusively of offices.
Possession of the lot will be given
April first when lease held by
Grove O'Kelley expires. Bids will
be closed for the contract on Friday
and work will begin Immediately
after April first. As soon as the
building can be completed it will be
entered by Cox and Baker. They
hope to get into it early this
summer.
After they get settled they will
proceed in connection with Donley
and Hatfield to put up handsome
office building on the site of the
offices occupied by these two firms
This building will be six to eight
stories high with stone front. 1t
fronts 334 feet on Chancery Row
and runs back 70 feet.
The building will haye elevators
and other modern conveniences and
will be hummer. Nothing but
offices will be included in it, Fossil
bly, no work can be done on it this
year but the intention is to get
down to work on it as soon as
possible.
No positive agreement has been
made between Cox and Baker and
Donley and Hatfield except that
they have agreed to erect such a
building on their lots. They will
arrange details later.

TO FIGHT SCALE
Fruit Growers are Intensely
Interested in Struggle.

Eastern Pan-Handie Terribly Infested
with the Pest which is Killing Trees
by Thousands-Locusts Spread them
far and Wide-Experiment Station
Helping in Fight.
DIR. S. w. Fletcher has gone to
Berkeley county to help in the fight
against the San Jose scale which is
beng waged by the people of that
section of the state. Director Stew
art of the Station went yesterday
to the same part OF the state on the
same mission.
DIR. Fletcher was seen by this pa
per and asked about his mission.
He stated that Jefferson and Berke-
ley counties were badly infested by
scale although there were twelve
counties in which it had appeared.
he said that the people had become
Thoroughly aroused by the danger
which threatened their orchards
and were now hard at work lighting
the scale.
A singular thing in connection
with the spread Of the scale has
been discovered. They were spread
widely by locusts which visited that
section of the state last year. The
locusts in boring in the trees took
up the insects and carried them on
to other unifested trees, some times
carrying the scales for miles. This
has never been noticed anywhere
else in the country
Much of the scale has been traced
back to nursery in New Jersey
which sold small stock which had
been affected. Other nurseries also
sent in their quota.
Killing the scale must be done in
the spring be fore the leaves get out.
The mixture which is used is so
strong that it will kill the tree when
in leaf and the scale itself after it
gets into the sap is much stronger
and more able to combat the poison
than in the winter when they are
dormant
The people are aroused to the
danger. During the past six weeks
twelve field meetings have been held
in the eastern part of the state aud
fruit growers shown how to fight
the scale and the best mixtures to
be used.
THAT part of the state is destined
to become one huge orchard Thou
sands of dollars are involved in the
fight which must be won by the
fruit growers"
$50 far the scale is confined near
ly exclusively to fruit trees but it
is also attacking chestnut and hick-
DRY. 1t will kill them. too although
it prefers fruit trees"
s'The mixture which is used costs
about half cent gallon. Enough
to kill the scale en- a tree costs about
five cents. To use it when the or
chards are small is the cheapest and
best plan I have seen two thou
sand trees in one orchard killed by
the scale SO that people will have to
get move on them"
.'Some scale has appeared in
Greenbrier and Monroe-counties but
its nothing like what it is in the
eastern panhandle and especially in
Jefferson and Berkeley counties"

RUSH ORDERS ISSUED.
George Gould Starts Engineers
to Hustling.


Wants Plans Prepared SO that Con.
tracts for Greene-F ayette Road
may be let ataQnce-Mo rgantcwn
not In Movement but Very close to
it and Day Of DeIiverance is Near at
Hand.
The Wabash is to come into
Greene and Fayette counties. Orders
looking toward the immediate let
ting of contracts to that end have
been issued by George Gould who is
head of the Wabash system over
President Ramsey of the Wabash
road. President Ramsey has gone
East on leave of absence.
Chief Engineer Patterson of the
Wabash has been told to get his
plans into condition to let the con-
tracts Immediately. Thecontracts
are expected to be in the hands of
those who are to perform them,
within the next sixty days.
1t will cost seven and one half
millions to construct the lines. The
grades are not over one per cent any
where. The road is to be sixty
miles long from Pittsburg to Union
town being ten miles shorter tnan
the B. Il o. Pennsylvania.
BY connecting with the road into
Pittsburg on the west of the city
the road will avoid the congestion Of
city yards and can get coke and
coal into Chicago from Uniontown
two days quicker than its rivals,
All rights of way needed have
been secured. There is nothing in
the way of this road being built.
The closest point it comes to Nor
gantown is where 1t crosses the river
at Little Whitley creek. Spurs and
switches will be placed 80 that the
road may get at the immense coal
fields which it traverses.
1t is stated that for the time being
nothing is to be done in regard to
the connection south by way Of
Morgantown to Belington from the
mouth of Whitley. This line was
projected some time ago and some
charters and rights of way have
been secured along the proposed
route.
With the Wabash so close how
ever it can be but matter of time
until Morgantown shall have CON
nection with it. The road will be
80 close that connection cannot be
prevented.
The Greene and Fayette county
extension will be made within 9
very short time and before long bott
counties will be strongly invaded
by the Wabash. The Pennsylvania
and B. 4 o. seem to be powerlesi
to keep it out.

All true lovers of sport in this coun-
try will look forward with much inter-
est to the arrival of the new cup chal.
lenger, Shamrock III, which the En-
glish people expect will lift the cup this
year. While America has held the
supremacy in yacht building for years
she also holds the supremacy in medi-
cine. Take Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
as an example. No other country in
the world has been able to produce a
medicine 30 good to restore the appe-
tite, build up the run down system in
the spring or to cure nausea, indiges-
ton, fatulency, dyspepsia, constipated

Mrs. W. H. Hess ofthe West Side
committed suicide Thursday
She threw herself into the river and
before help could reach her she had
sunk for the last time.
j Mrs. Hess had been suffering from
dependency for some time and
Tuesday night told Mr.. Hess that
it would be her last night on earth.
In consequence close watch was
kept on her. During the night Mr.
Hess was called out OF the house and
she was left alone for few moments.
She arose and went ont in her
stocking feet. Mr. Hess heard the
splash rs she fell into the river and
ran to her assistance. He saw her
come to the surface but before he
could do anything to rescue her she
had sunk for the last time.
The alarm Was given and prepare
tions were made at once to drag the
riverfor the body. This was kept
up until it was found this morning.
The body, had drifted for some dis.
lance down the river and when
found it was around the bend.
The river was swollen to some ex-
tent and the current was rather
swift where Mrs. Hess went in.
The water was muddy and it was
hard work to accomplish anything
by way Of dragging the bed of the
river.
Mrs. Hess was the mother OF large
family ard was universally respected.
She had passed tifty years OF age. Re-
Gently she had become respondent and
had been worn cut with nursing her
son, John, who has pneumonia.
The suicide occurred about three
O'Clock this morning. The point Sc
lected for the commission OF the deed
was In rear Of the residence OF Mr..
Hess which Is located on the West
Side near the river.
She walked quickly from the house
and without hesitation plunged into
the river to ner- death.
Tier mind was undoubtedly unbal-
anced or she would have not taken the
rash step.
A number of reports 10 connection
with the affair have been In circula-
tion. One OF them is that Mr.. Hess
pushed out plank to her but she re-
fused to avail herself OF the prefer and
sank before his very eyes. This re-
port Is without foundation.

WILL BUILD LOOP.
Street Car Company Finally
Decided on this Matter.

AheEe Was SOME Vutsti0h AbSut IL a.
Beverly Avenue Extension Is Full
Of slips Material Coming Past for
Power Plant and Tracks other Mat.
tiers in Connection With the system.
A meeting Of the Morgantown Elec-
trio and Traction Company was held
Wednesday. One Of the principal
matters to come before them was
the question OF the route of the
/ line. Along the extension OF Bev-
|erly avenue after the street leaves
the Pike at Col. Gilmore's there
have been lots of slips.
These will make the question OF
keeping the road in operation very
costly one. The company decided
that they would construct the loop
as originally planned. There was
some talk Of stopping the line at the
break in Beverly but it will be cent
on around the loop.
A double track is to be placed on
Front street from Walnut to Kirk
alley. This has been decided by
the street committee. The double
track on High streetruns from Kirk
alley to Wiley street.
Material for the line is coming
aster now than it has been.
Machinery and iron for the power
house is arriving and work on this
is going forward very fast.
1t was stated this morning that
the company expected to place the
line on Beverly in the center of the
street which is very narrow and not
wide enough for wagons to pass on
either side. This being objected
to, member of the company said
that of course the cars would wait
for wagons to get out OF the way.
As is well known the policy of Civ
ing way to wagons and anything
else ia one of the marked character
istics of street cars everywhere.
The company is groanlng over
the cost of running the car line
through the Falling Run hollow.
This has been made necessary by a
miscalculation in the strength of the
bridge across through the Univer-
sity grounds. No allowance was
made for the load to be carried by
the cars and the bridge is not strong
enough to bear the weight.
