stations along the way. In all be-
tween 1000 and 1900 people were at
Spring Park during the day.
At the Park the celebration took
the form of big picnic. The picnic
feature was a little bit obscured Ia

Later In the day, the troubled waters
were Gained, and the outing was
thoroughly enjoyed. Dancing was IN

There was no speaking, President

heard for half-a-mile. The crowd
thought he was seriously hurt for a
minute, but he swan TO the beat aHd

POLES ON CHESTNUT,
City Council Grants Permission
to Erect Them.

Squire Hayes Makes a Proposition
Lowering Of Pavement on High
Brick Drains-Wafe Permit Grant.
ed-Other Business Before Council.
The city council was about the only
organization in the city that did not
take a holiday yesterday. They met
and transacted considerable business.
The eternal question of poles on
Chestnut street, between Kirk alley
and Peasants street came up. The
council passed an order giving the
Peoples Telephone Company and the
q ID. & T. Company permission IN SO
far as the council has authority to
grant it, to erect their poles each on
the foot sidewalk recently donated
to the town by the the property own
ers. These companies must obtain
the written permission of the owners
OF the property; and the poles will
then be placed under the direction of
the street committee. 1t is under
stood that the Peoples Company al
ready have this permission.
Squire Hayes made proposition in
which he offers to donate feet on
the west side Of the street from Kirk
alley along his property. The street
has been paved 81 feet wide to Kirk
alley. From there 10 the Jacobs line
it is 16 feet. This five feet will make
it 81 feet. Squire Hayes makes this
offer on condition that the street be
paved on through to Foundry without
curb. He can not give possession of
the s foot strip until July /, but
wants the paving done at once.
The committee appointed to confer
with the executor of the Morris estate
and with w. e. Price in regard to
lowering the pavement to the level OF
the street on High an Walnut, report
that both parties wanted $25 from
the city for this, and recommended
that this be not given. Mr.. Baker
has asked for permission to do it any
way, and it has been granted.
A brick drain was ordered laid on
LIST and End streets between Beverly
and Grant avenues, so that the prop
erty owners can put down sidewalks.
: Considerable sewerage has been un-
covered on Chestnut street. This was
put down by Mrs Protzman and the
street committe was ordered to have
it laid deeper.
Rev. o. w. Waters was granted
permission to build a stable on Nc
Lane Avenue, on condition that it be
placed so feet back on the alley, in the
rear Of Glasscock's house, and be con-
nected with the city sewer on Third
street. This matter has caused some
warm arguments before council.
The matter of hitching posts was
discussed and a committee was ap.
pointed to look into the advisability
of providing them. A complaint
was made in regard to the stable at the
end of Chancery Row. aud the council
will visit it in body and make an
investigation.
Billy Bowman was granted license
to run drug store on Peasants street,
in the Glasscock building.

on the Remnant t1nnel at the head

Some excitement has been caused
in Fairyisw by the recent report that
the Baltimore and Ohio will build a
line parallel to the Buckhannon and

The Baltimore and Ohio would only
have about thirty miles of road

nearly all of them will come to Fair

they will likely turn their attention
to some other town if they get the

Hiding or Have SkIpped-Offlcer
Escort Non. Union Worhmen.

Nothing has been seen or heard
by the officers of the striking glass
workers who attacked Lackey and
Jolliffe few days ago, and beat
them shamefully. Warrants were
issued for them and placed in the
hands of Constable Jolliffe, but he
has been unable to find the men
wanted.
1t is thought by the officers that
they are in hiding here. There is a
rumor, however. that the men have
left the city. However it is. they
have not been found.
No more violence has been at
tempted since the attack last Thurs
day. Members of the police force
have been escorting the uon union
men to and from the factories morn
ing and evening. This will be
continued so long as there is any
fear of another attack.

Labor Day dawned on Morgantown
bright and beautiful. The sun came
up smiling, and the smile was the
kind that wouldn't wear of. The
weather was ideal for big out of-door
celebration. and it was 4 very real
pleasure just to be out of doors. Most
people found this out early.
Before eight o'clock, the streets and
sidewalks were tilled with people in
their best clothes, and 10 holiday
mood, who were either going to take
part in the big parade, or look on.
Labor was out In force, and IL there
was any capital floating around, it
kept out of the way, around the cor
ner
The local unions formed 10 parade
on Wiley street shortly after eight
O'Clock. The Glass Workers band
headed the procession, and they
marched down High street, halting at
Walnut, where the band played.
Thence they marched to Spruce, and
around TO the B. & o. station, where
they awaited the coming OF the visit
ing unions from Clarksburg and Fair
mont. Train No. 3 was half an hour
late and this caused a slight delay.
A large crowd of visitors including
the carpenters and joiners OF Fair
mont, Junkins Band, and the Clarks-
burg Opera House band came on this
train.
The parade formed on Front street.
Mayor McGrew and DIR. S. s. Wade
headed the procession In carriage.
They were followed by the Glass
Workers band, the police force on
foot, Company L, ia Command of
Lieut.. Parsons, the two local unions
of glass-workers, the carpenters and
joiners, Junkins band, the Fairmont
carpenters, the Clarksburg band and
the painters. The procession moved
up Front street, down Wiley and
High to the N. & X. station.
Nearly thousand men were la line.
The three bands made things lively
with their music all along the march.
Company L, in light marching order,
presented fine appearance, and were
loudly cheered. The glass workers
carried a number OF floats, bearing
legends like these: 1--WE Produce
the Wealth, Have we not right to
enjoy a just share of the profits;n 1--WE
have no jobs, but what is a job with
out our union;" in union is strength,
without our union, our trade Is lost. F.
At the M. & X. station, the parade
was dismissed. Long before they
reached there, however, the cars that
were to carry them to Spring Park
were crowded, and those who had
taken part in the parade, were disap-
pointed in being compelled TO wait
until 1880 for the train.
The M. & KS passenger accomoda-
tions were taxed to the utmost They
used all Of their passenger coaches,
borrowed one from the B. g. O., and
used four gondolas. Trains were run
to the Park and return as rapidly as

A man will run as fast as he an to
cross railroad track In front of a
train Then he will watch till it goes
out of sight. Then he will walk leis-
urely away. He seems to be all right
and probably is. That is man. A
woman in a street car will open a
satchel and take out purse, take out
dime and close the purse, open the
satchel, put in the purse, close the
satchel and lock both ends. Then
she will give the dime to the conduc-

Then she will open the satchel and

lock both ends. Then she will feel
for the buckle at the back of her belt.

BIG INDUCEMENTS
Have Been Offered TO the West

to do-Morgantown Has Done Some-
thing but not Enough to Get the

Mr.. Il. W. Foote. Of the West
Virginia Plate Glass Company is
now in Psden City, where he has
been called by people who are anx
ious to get the big factory located
A letter was received from him this
morning.
II stated that people down there
had subscribed 100000 to the CAPT
tai stock of the company, which is
capitalized at 100000 They
have agreed to give twenty-acre
site for the plant and to make ten
year contract for gas.
Other inducements are being
made to the concern by the promor.
ers of the town who are quite anx
ious to getca factory of the proper
lions of the one under discussion.
Morgantown must hustle II she
lands the factory. The citizens Of
the town have raised $4,000 In
subscriptions. 1t is necessary &c
raise $4,000 more in order to gel
the factory. In case this is not done
the plant will not locate here.
1t is incumbent on us to use ouI
every endeavor to do this, as the
factory will be one of the largest in
the stare, and will have an annual
payroll as large as several of the
local factories combined.
The officers of the company want
to stay here. They will stay II
Morgantown will do as we'll as any
other town, but the inducements
which are offered to them elsewhere
are sufficient TO overweight matters
of sentiment.
The formation of the company
and the plans connected with it have
been given in this paper several
times, and it is not necessary to
mention them again.
Those who subscribe will get
stock to the face value of their sab
scriptions.
rhe factory will be the only plate
glass establishment in the state and
will add several thousand to the
population of the town which se-
cures it. Several other towns be-
sides Paden City are after it, and
we cannot afford to let it go.
