NINE HOST sTURGISs..
Preston County Paper has Remarka
BILE Plans for Prominent Morga an
town Man.

According to the Preston County
Leader, the new Kingwood paper,
Hon. Geo. G. Sturgiss is about to
turn hotel-keeper. The Leader says:
1.-The Mckinney cave property has
been purchased by the Hon. Geo. c..
Sturgiss, and he proposes to erect
upon it fine modern hotel of dimen-
tons large enough and commodious
enough to accommodate the hundreds
of tourists and health-seekers who
will seek this delightful spot for rec
reation and rest during the summer
season. 1t is Mr.. Sturgiss' intention
to make this one OF the most popular
resorts in the country"
Mr.. Sturgiss was seen 10 regard to
this new enterprise by NEW DOMIN-
ION man this morning, and disclaimed
any intention OF abandoning his pres
ent enterprises and spending the re-
mainder Of his days looking after the
material comfort of a lot of giddy,
fitting summer visitors. He has
bought, he said, 1000 acres of land,
including the cave, from Brown,
Brown and Ollie, and was preparing
to sell it right now. He had said
that the vicinity Of the cave would
make an ideal place for a summer
hotel, but that he ever had any in
tention of building one or putting any
money into such scheme was utterly
ridiculous.

A plumber of stone masons have
been figuring on the job of building
two piers for the new suspension
bridge that is to span the river at

can be built much cheaper when the
water is low. Each pier will be II
feet wide and SO feet long, and 60
feet high. One span will be 300 feet.
After the piers are up any kind of "a
structure may be placed upon them
that the court may decide upon.

"OPEN HOUSE" POLICY
Causes Trouble-Union Men
will not Work.

Meetint uciu tcstcruay anu IiAh ioT
Long Campaign Adepted-Nothing
being at Economy Tumbler Com
pany's Plant-Directors Mean to
Run their Factory as they Choose.
The notice posted by the Morgan
town and Seneca Glass factories
Saturday to the effect that the fac
tories would run "open house" free
to union and non union men alike
has caused considerable stir in local
glass manufacturing circles, In
consequence, no one went to work at
the Morgantown factory this morn
ing, and only the blowers who are
directors at the Seneca are working.
1t probably means a long battle be-
tween the companies and the union
glass workers.
The union workmsn held q meet
ing Sunday and decided that they
would not work in the factories I'M
der the "open house" rule. They
appointed committees to meet trains
it is said, and picketts to watch the
factories, in order to pursusde non
union workmen not to go to work
Press committees also we're appoint
ed. 1t is said that the local unions
have declared they will not work
under the "open house" rule If they
have to stay out all winter
A director OF the Economy Tum-
hler Company said this morning that
they intended to run the factory
"open house., and they were not at
all worried about the action OF the
union men-that 1t was immaterial
to them whether they VOL ked or not.
The factory will be open to union
and non union men alike, or not at
all.
The union men who refused to 20
to work get one $1.00 per day while
out, and are allowed to work at other
trades for 81. per day but no more,
This will give them an income of
$12 per week and they can probably
get along on that for long time.
The company agrees to pay the
union scale, the only point being the
question OF non union men working
in the factories. 1t promises to be
long and bitter fight.

The county court of Marion eoun-
ty 10 about to let the contract for
another bridge over the river at that
place. Some of the tax payers are
very much opposed to this scheme
and are after an injunction to stop

may be erected at much less expense
before slackwater is there than after
wards.

Useful at Last.

The Farmers Advocate of Charles
Town says:
For the first time in its history
the John Brown Fort located ON the
farm OF Alexander Murphy near
Harper's Ferry was this year used
to house a wheat crop. Mr.. Robert
Conrad threshed the crop out of the
fort this week. The building has
attracted little attention from visit
ors since it was brought back from
the Worlds Fair, and this year Mr.
Murphy is using it as barracks.

l Lively clean comedy is the feature of I the work of George Neville and com pany in the farcelet, "A Cold Deal" at the top of the Poli bill this week.
 George is a very clever fun-maker and
 he has good company assisting him. The young lady as the wife is given quite a surprise by the actions of her
 husband with a friend whom he has concealed in the ice chest. The iceman
 makes a hit.
 1 The Karsys with their wonderful giant myriophone present the inter-
 mezzo from "Cavalleria de Rusticana,"
 brilliant musical offering. The over ture to Faust" is also included in their programme.
 The Three Nevaros with their acro- battle and barrel-jumping novelty make
 a very handsome appearance and offer
 some excellent feats. The young lady 1 is very pretty and her feats alone are of the marvellous kind. James Cullen with Song hits in which he gives New Haven a few knocks in
 funny style is being recalled time and l time again. He is a winner on the bill
 this week.
 1 Gavin and Platt have a pretty sketch, "A Stolen Kid" which has a very good
 stage setting of gypsy camp, and they
 have some good song hits. 1 c. W. Littlefield with his limitations
 makes a good big hit. 1 Anna Caldwell has some good songs, and Ferguson and Mack in ''The Dim pie Sisters" are an uproarious pair and | have a ballet girl effect that brings down the house.
 The vitagraph views are another strong attraction

Two-Day Old Founding Turned Over to Or
 ganized Charities.
 Awakened at o'clock yesterday morning by the crying of his baby, as he supposed, Pasquale Zucoltto of 309 East street arose with parental solicitude to find, however, that the cries came from baby that had been left on the back door step.
 Patroman Winchell of the Grand avenue precinct was called, and delivered the founding to the Organized Charities. The child was taken to the city hospital at the direction of Dr. Gompertz, who found the baby suffering severely from Opthalmia, which would result in total blindness if not immediately treated.
 The child is male only two days old, and evidently of Italian parentage.. It was wrapped up as Italians bundle their babies, and has Italian features. Two officers from the Grand avenue precinct were detailed on the case.
