after the matter of perfecting an
organization for his company. He
will be here this evening to ask our
City Council to extend the time for
the completion of the road In this
city FROM June to October tftais
year. He insists that the action OF
the City Council of New Martins
Vile will not stop work on the road
a moment. His company has a
franchise through the town OF
Brooklyn which puts his road to
the corporate line OF New Martins.
Vile, ard that is near enough for
all practical purposes. Postmaster
George E. Work who Is the conf,

.informs as that there is no doubt
whatever about this road being
built and that at olce.

RAILROAD NEWS

Mr.. Work Is positive about his
position and has no hesi
tancy In making this stste-
ment. We believe its time enough
for our City Council to extend tie
time for competing the road when
the contracts for grading are let
and there Is something tangible 10
begin Oh. We want a railroad. We
will only have one road and what
we want to do Is to encourage the
company that will begin work first.
Mr.. Miller Is entitled TO precedence
and will have 1t but Its time erough
later to extend the franchise. II
as Mr.. Miller says, work will begin
next wonth, then we favor the ex
tension of the time and every en-
courage given him possible but for
the present We believe we should
go a little bit slow. Today the
engineers are to begin surveying
for a permanent route starting

REED DIES AT FOUR
O'CLOCK THIS MORNING
Both Men Sustained Good Regulations A Sad
Ending to an Unfortunate Affair. Jealousy
Presumed to be at the Bottom of the Deed

special to thA Review.
NEW MARTINsvILLE, MAR. 16: =
This city was stirred with excite
ment'' yesterday afternoon by the
shooting of A. Reed, of New Mar
tinsvine, by John Shay of Sisters
Vile. The shooting occurred about
three9clock yesterday afternoon q
little north of the Ice plant at which
place Mr.. Reed was engineer. I'm
mediately after the aft air, the rep
resentattve of the OH Review Set
about getting the facts SUR ound
Ing the unfortunate occurrence and
and found them to be su 5stantially
as follows:
Some time apo, Shay and Reed
had some little difficulty, growing
out of domestic affairs. Nothing
mure than loud. words attending
their meeting at that time, however,
and the matter had entirely passed
out of the minds of those who had
heard of 1t. For some reason, the
affair raukled In the breast of Mr..
Shay, and yesterday morning he
went to the New Martinsville ice
plant, where Reed was employed,
and renewed the quarrel. He Is
stated to have invited Mr.. Reed
out into the meadow behind the
Ice plant, where they would settle
all differences. Reed evidently de-
clined the invitation, and Shay went
away. In the afternoon, about 3
o'clock. Reed was proceeding down
/ the railroad track from New Mar
tinsville to his place of work In
Brooklyn. Near the railroad bridge
he met Shay. who resides In Brook
lyn. Without anJ warning, Shay
produced a revolver and proceeded
to open fire upon the unsuspecting
Reed. So close were they together
that the powder burned Reeds
clothes. the shot perforated his
hand, and he at once grappled Shay
and secured hold of the pistol. This
was doubtless wrenched from him,
a second shot fred, which pene-
trated his abdomen. Although ia
tally shot, Reed had strength
enough to wrench the guu from
Shay's hand, and with 1t started
toward the depot, his life blood
oozing at every step.
At or near the depot, he secured
assistance, when he was immediate
ly conveyed to the Schmeid hospital

where the necessary examination
Was made and an operation per-
formed by two other doctors of tie
city. The bowels were discovered
10 have been perforated in some
eight or nine d ff.rent places. Al.
though all that was possible was
done for the patient, he slowly
sank, until at q o'clock this morn
Ing he expired.
Before his death, Reed made a
sworn statement to the prosecuting
attorney, the contents Of which
have not been made public. 1t Is
currently reported, however, that
there was no cause for the insane
jealousness that prompted the act,
Reed having stated that he had
never been In the Shay housL but
oDcep and then upon the invitation
of Mr.. Shay himself
In the absence OF the prose cutting
attorney, who went to Parkersburg
this morniug on business, no action
will be had or hearing had until his
return.
The unfortunate part of the sad
occurrence Is the fact that beth men
seemingly bore the best of reput-
ations. Mr.. Reed was known as a
quite, sober, inoffensive gentleman,
and Mr. Shay was equally esteemed.
The mystery surrounding the affair
will scarcely be fully known until
the facts are all revealed In the
several hearings and trials that are
certain to follow.
Mr.. Shay gave hImselt mp short
Iy after the shooting, and Is now In
the New Martinsville jail.
The many friends of Mr.. Shay
In this city learned with regret of
the unfortunate sffair at New
Martinsville yesterday.
He has resided In this city for
number of years, and always sus.
tained an euviable reputation as a
quiet and industrious gentleman.
He was married the second time a
few years ago to Mrs. Stapleton
who resided In the upper portion of
the city. For II couple of years they
have made their home In New
Martinsville, Mr. Shay going home
Saturday evening and returning In
time for work Monday morning.
He was employed 10 the Carter
shops and was considered one of
the best machinists in the city.

COAL LANDS
PURCHASED.

Clarksville, Dec. 15. Another large deal for coal lands has just been consummated here.
 Yesterday a party of capitalists from New York and Ohio came here in their special car and re- mained all day. While here they closed the deal for the Johnson County Coal Company's holdings, consisting of 1, 400 acres, and m- cluding developed anthracite coal lands which have proven to be among the best mines im the Spadra district
 The purchasers filed articles of incorporation with the county clerk for the Consolidated An thracite Coal Company" which is capitalized at $5, ,000,000 The company expects to purchase other lands and mining proper ties and operate on large scale. The deal was engineered by local financial agents, who are induc- ing numbers of investors to visit this district, and have other large deals for coal lands under way.
 The fine quality of this an- thracite coal and increasing de- mand for the product and the handsome profits to operators IS causing this district to be one of the leading districts for anthra- cite mining west of Pennsylva- nia. The lands purchased by this company adjoin the 1,60O acres recently purchased by the New Jersey Zine Company ot New York City.
