TOO MUCH GROWING
Spoiled the Biggest Chicken
Fight ever Planned.

County.
Some well known people of to W
will attend cooking main hi
evening in West Virginia. Arrang Z
ments have been made to pull OF
one of the biggest affairs of the kline
ever planned in this town.
That is what the Uniontowr
Genins said yesterday. And tn.
Genius was right, in all but on.
particular. Arrangements had beer
made, but not all arrangements. A
few little details we're neglected
Notably, that one of 'sfixing it" witt
the officers Of this city. That one
oversight spoiled the fur. And the
chicken-fght will be pulled off else
where at another time.
If the arrangements made had
been carried out, here would have
been one of the biggest chicken
fights in the history of the town
The failure of the Uniontown end
of the crowd to do as they promised,
caused all the trouble.
The Fairmonters who were on
hand carried out their part of the
contract to a letter, They came
down on the 3:10 train, and got off
at Ellington, as directed. The
Unlontown men were to come up to
Seneca on the S:45 train, and make
the rest of the journey by boat
They were to bring eleven chickens
and eight men.
This they did, but they talked
about it in Uniontown, and when
the 8.45 train came In, it brought
about a hundred unlimited negroes
and whites, some uproariously
drunk, others sober, but all demand
ing to know where that chicken
fight was to be held. They made
the purpose of their visit so evident
that the police were notified, and
about six Of the coppers betook
themselves to the scene of hostilities.
The noisy Uniontowners were scat
tered about the building. waiting
for the fun to commence. 1t did not
com mence. The men who had ar
ranged the fight were thoroughly
Disguised, and the main was called
off.
Uniontown brought about twenty
chickens and Fairmont had as many.
Only eleven chickens on each side
we're to be matched however. One
hundred dollars side was bet on
each of ten chickens, making $4,000
in all. On the eleventh fight 1880
a side was the stake, making a total
Of $4,000. Then there were to be
some side fights and some side bets.
No wonder there was disappoint-
ment.
Some of the best chickens in the
were in the coops, including
,ne famous cock that has never
been licked. 1t is said that some
Jlarksburg chickens we're in the
bunch.
The Fairmont and Uniontown
parties lett on the 5:55 train this
morning. taking their fighting
chickens with then, aud the main
IS to be pulled off today in Greene
Pa, unless further official
interference puts stop to festivities.
The affair is being widely talked
If today, and the Morgantown peo-
Pile are congratulating themselves
IN the fact that the thing was
stopped before the fighting began if
It was to be stopped at all.

AWAY on Vacation.

There are probably four or i've hun
dred people out OF Morgaatown at
present taking rest atdifferent sum
mer resorts and visiting friends ia
various parts Of the country. Noun
tain Lake Park aud Atlantic City are
the most popular as resorts, though
other places are patronized by local
people. Six or seven hundred students
who are here nine months In year
are also out of town. This makes
quite perceptible difference in the
city's population and still we have
over 10, 900.

MANY IMPROVEMENTS
Are Being Made at the Water
Station Above Town.
Two Big Filters are Being Added =
New Engine Installed Of
Pumping Water Is Being Changed
Purer Water and More Of It is to be
Given People.

NcW EhkAnc 1ust8fkou-IlA In VI
Pumping Water Is Being Changed
Purer Water and More Of 1t is to be
Given People.
For some time important changes
have been in progress at the Nor.
gantown Water Works. Mr.. Z. NJ.
Grant the manager Of this enter
prise was seen by a representative
OF this paper today in regard to
them. He said that great improve
ments are being made in the city
system at the pump station. About
twenty five men have been employed
there tor several months past. They
will have the work completed in a
few weeks.
Two new large sand filters are
being installed and new system
inaugurated, by which the water
takes much longer to pass through
the sand. A new method OF applying
the alum, the coagulating material
to the water has been adopted, so
that publication of the water will be
much more thorough and complete
tkan heretofore.
Besides the increased efficiency Of
the filters, the capacity has been
greatly enlarged. A new gas engine
has been added to the pumping plant
thus adding considerably to its pow
er to supply the reservoir with water.
The capacity OF the pumping and
filtering plant have each been
doubled. Two million gallons of
water per day can now be lifted from
the river, passed through the filters,
and forced into the reservoir for use
by the city.
A change has been made in the
location of the feed pipe in the bed
of the river. The mouth of the tun-
mel through which the water is
received from the river has been
located near the center o. the stream
where the water is deer, and impuri-
ties from the shores are less apt to
contaminate it. The water is car
ried through the tunnel to a well on
the bank of the stream, and pumped
from the we'll to the reservoir.
By this arrangement, stirring up
mud and sediment in the stream by
the pump is prevented and there is
no interference from ice or drift, as
there might be were the pumping
done direct from the river bed.
The enserprising water company
is endeavoring to keep up in i'm
provements with the progress of the
rest of the town.
