IT may be that the Pittsburg, Elk

through this county. At least the
map and profiles are to be filed here.
Several railroads have done that
much without increasing the amount
of trackage in the county.
THE State convention which meets
at Morgantown next month to con-
slider the subject of good roads will
no doubt stimulate interest in an
important subject. Improvement
in the roads will benefit all members
of the community and anything
which tends to this end is worthy of
support and encouragement. 1t is
to be hoped that the convention at
Morgantown will be attended by a
large number OF persons and that
the organization effected will result
in fruitful effort to improve the
highways of the State.-Parkersburg

WATCH RECOVERED.
Notice In New Dominion led to Ree0Y.
cry of Stolen Time Piece.

Yesterday the Bon-Ton Racket
store had a watch stolen. A notice
of the fact was published in the New
DOMINION. At six o'clock George g.
Hayes called the store and told them
that he had watch which had been
offered in trade by small boy who
wanted a bicycle for it.
Examination showed that it was
the missing watch. The boy who
had it when questioned stated that
he had bought it from newsboy
but has not yet come forward with
the seller. The boy in question
lives in Greenment. His father
will settle the case with him in the
woodshed instead OF resorting to the
courts. The parties at first suspect
ed are entirely exonerated by the
discovery of the watch.

FATHER KLusER EXPLAINS.
Couple who were Refused Marriage did
not Play According to.Hoyle-Priest
felt that there was Something wrong
Somewhere.


To the Editor of the New DOMINION.
In yesterdays issue of your esteem
ed paper you wrote that | refused to
marry Mr.. Thomas Collins and Miss
ADbie Anderson, because the latter
was Protestant. This statement is
misleading and may give rise to the
belief that / am intolerant. The
truth is that | have sanctioned sever
al unions between Catholics and Prot
estants, the latest being that of John
Ihli and Miss Annie Marsden.
| refused to marry Mr. Collins and
Miss Anderson, because Mr.. Collins,
pretended Catholic, fatty refused to
comply with the rules of our church,
and not because Miss Anderson was
Protestant. One of these rules is that
the couple must be given out in the
parish Of their demicile. Mr.. Collins
had not complied with this rule, nor
was he willing to do so.
AS the two aspirants to matrimon-
ial bliss were perfect strangers to me,
and as they wanted to get married on
a sly-against the rule of our church,
/ suspected that there was something
wrong with this couple. | could not
see, why people should hail from a
distant place to Seneca II they were
Ia good standing. The fact that
Squire Hayes also refused to marry
them, only confirms me IN my suspie-
ion. At any rate / cannot and / will
not marry every unknown Tom, Dick
and Harry who breaks into my office,
without notifying me in due time, or
without producing the necessary pa
pers for lawful marriage.

NEW ENTERPRISES.
Something About Two Coca
panies Recently Chartered

Which Expect to de Business In Nor
gantewn-Big Coal Company is One
of Them and Stone Company the
0ther-Those Back OF Them and
What They Expect to do.
The Niagara Coal Company re-
Gently incorporated by R. E. L.
Allen and others, has mine open
ing already made on the 81 acre
tract of coal to be worked by the
company at Round Bottom.
The coal is the Pittsburg seam,
which is here about ten feet thick.
Several hundred tons of coal were
mined and sold last winter.
A tipple will be constructed at the
rivers edge, about 500 feet from the
mine opening. This will have to be
reached by an incline. The coal
will be shipped by the river soon as
slack water is completed, and the
locks In operation between here and
Round Bottom.
1t is estimated that there are
10000 tons of merchantable coal to
the acre under the tract. About
five acres are expected to be worked
out each year, thus requiring twelve
years to exhaust the field. This
would show very handsome profit,
even at the low price of so cents a
ton for the coal.
A track was sent up TO the mines
yesterday to haul the coal out to the
entrance. Previously, the miners
had been transporting it out ON
wheelbarrows.
The company expects to be ready
to carry on the enterprise on much
larger scale soon as the river i'm
provements are completed to the
place so they can ship in barges.
Another new enterprise that will
add to the already large number of
growing industries up Deckers
Creek is the West Virginia Stone
Company. 1t is capitalized at
100000 for the manufacture of
building stone from sand, lime, ce-
ment,etc. Mr.. John S. Cummings.
the inventor of the process of manu-
faeture, and the practical stone
manufacturer of the company went
to Kingwood on business connected
with the enterprise yesterday. The
company has two acres OF ground
for site on the opposite side of the
siding of the Marilla Glass factory.
Mr.. Cummings went right to work
on the plant soon as the company
was organized and will soon be
ready to manufacture building ma
terials.
Foundations have been completed,
and work is progressing rapidly on
the Penn Mirror Company's factory
in the Harner bottom This will be
ready for operation by next fall.
Another plate glass factory is in
prospect for the Deckers Creek Val
ley, and the conditions are so favor
able it seems almost certain the
plant will be landed here.
A blast furnace to occupy site
of 20 acres of ground between Stur-
gisson and Masontown ON the M. &
K. road is one of the possibilities of
the near future. With the large and
cheap supply of limestone, coal, shale
and water in the Deckers Creek
Valley, the conditions seem to be
very favorable for the location of a
blast furnace.
Preliminary arrangements for the
erection of mammoth cement plant
are also being made. This is to be
a million dollar enterprise. The
factory will be located just below
the old wooden bridge on the Deck
ers Creek road to Morgantown.

The County Court will finish up TIE
business Of the term tomorrow. The
annual levy has not been fixed, but
from the facts already known to the
court, it has been decided to raise the
road levy from 25 cents on the hun
dred to 30 cents. All other levies will
be the same as last year. The pres
ent road levy is not sufficient to cover
the expense of keeping up the roads in
the present condition.

Discover Signs Of Life Strange Case
Reported from Jakes Run.
JAKEs Run, June 12.-Clayton
Westfall, of near Jakes Run has
been puzzling his neighbors and
physicians of late by dying and
again coming back to life. Nj. West
fall is afflicted with, some peculiar
malady which at times renders him
unconscious for two or three days
at time.
Monday this strange spell came
upon him and all his relatives
thought him dead. They sent for
an undertaken and hire man TO dig
the grave. The undertaken reached
the home about dark and vas sur
prised to be told that the supposed
dead man was up and well.
II appears that Mr.. Westfall
comes out of his trance in the best of
health and feels no i'll effects of it.
While he is unconscious friends say
he is so near dead no man could
possibly to tell that he is still alive.
All the tests known to medical
science were tried on the man but
he showed not the faintest sign OF
life.
Westfall says that he has dreams
all the time that he is under the
spell. He says some of the dreams
lead him to believe he's in heaven,
while others convince him he's hit
another country. He says he does
not suffer in the least. He has no
idea what causes his strange dis
ease.
Mr.. Westtall is an oil worker and
has been working in this section but
a short time. He says he has had
such spells before, but those with
whom be was living, did not know
of his liability to them.

tion, ''Resolyed that party allegiance
is preferable to independent action In
politics, F." was handled in thorough

Affirmative, and his arguments em-
braced about all that can be said in
favor of party allegiance. Mr.. w. S.
Douglas, Of the Columbian, supported
the negative, logical and convincing,
and the decision of the judges shows
