INTERVIEW
Given Out by Anthony Bowen in Refer.
ence to the Two Glasses of People
of clarksburg.

Anthony Bowen. Of the Public Spirited
association just formed in this city. gave
ont an interesting and weh-timed inter
view this morning.
.'Clnrksburg,' says Mr.. Bowen. is di-
vided into two classes of people and only
two classes. This is without reference
t. white or black, good or bad, but these
two classes are the progressive and the
non progressive. Any man who encour-
ages the building up of Clnrksbrwg and
believes in its future is progressive. a
man who is a kicker and is discourtging
the growth of ClarIsburg by amy single
word or deed, is non-progressive. The
lines will be drawn. The non-progressive
element win be pushed aside, run over,
trampled, held up to ridicule, boycotted
by the order OF the public-spirited as
sociation."

Itiuerant Scissors Grinder Had Finished
His Work and Made the Mayor
Weary.

An itinerant scissors grinder was tax
en- to Adamston this morning by order of
the mayor and told to hit the grit and
not to come back here. 1t was evident
that he had finished his work here, hny-
ing ground all the old saws in the city
and imbibed to an extent that got him
in the city Jail. He had given the Po-
lice more or less concern for three or
four days and the mayor, himself. al
though he exercises n great deal of for
titude, wcaried gazing on the bloated
countennnec and concluded to resort to
the step mentioned above to prevent a
recurrence OF the weary spell. There were
two other plain drunks before the city's
executive this morning. They were given
the customary fines, which they paid and
then they were allowed to go their re-
spective ways.

Man Caught in the Home of Henry
Wine on Water Street at Early
Hollr---TelIs Story About Attempt
by Mar. to Shoot Him in the
Street.
Grabbed MRS. Wine After He Was Discovered and
Her Screams Brought Her Husband to the
Rescne-Latter Threw the Intruder Out Into
the Street-No Prosecution as Yet.

What is believed to have been un at
tempt at burglary was discovered at an
early hour this morning, but the party
implicated was not prosecuted.
The incident happened at the home OF
Henry Wine on Water street. Between
and ; o'clock the family was aroused
by noise in one of the rooms. and
Mrs. Wine entered the room to find
man within. 1t appears that he heard
her footsteps and tried to conceal HIM
self in the clothes press, but was unable
to do so. When Mrs. Wine entered the
room he told her that some one on the
street had attempted to shoot him and
he had entered the house to escape the
would-be murderer He then grabbed
her and she screamed. Mr.. Wine has
tened to the room and grappled with
the fellow. throwing him to the floor and
holding him there. He then repeated the
story about the shooting to Mr.. Wine.
Finally Mr. Wine concluded not to have
him arrested and threw him out in the
street.
The fellow gave his name Charles
Mcmillan and stated that he was u stogie
maker.
No shooting was heard by the family
and they are firmly of the belief that
it was an attempt 70 burglarize their
home.
The fellow gained acccss to the room
through window and the circumstances
look suspicious, although his story may
have been the truth.
