SIAMESE TWINS
Acting Mayor Cole Was Reminded of
When He Saw Two of John Barley
corn's Friends Before Him.

Acting Mayor Will H. Cole gave his
undivided attention to three plain drunks
at police court this morning, Mayor Grille
being ont of the city. They were all
found guilty of the charge against them
and gave unmistakabe evidence of h6v-
ing grown too confidential with John Bar,
leycorn. A search of ones pocketbook
resulted in digging up enough to rcmun-
crate the city for giving him the privi-
lege to meet his old friend, aud he wilA
bidden 80 his way. Two Others were
without money and without friends and
at the mercy of the court. There was
nothing to do but send them back to the
city prison, there to serve time and the
usual period of repentance and remolse
but they are those who will be greatly
affected one way or the other, as they
come from the wilds of Braxton coun.
ty, more particularly Sutton, and the
novelty of strange things and strange
experiences vii hardly have worn off be-
fore they have obtained their freedom.
These two are Gus and Charles Heasen.
swedes by nationality. They are broth,
ers and may be twins, as they remind
the acting mayor Of the famous Siamesc
twins rs he sees them through his imagi.
nation. One was found at the Junction
hotel and the other up the Weston road.
They may have been arm in arm when
they came to town, but booze had scpa-
rated them far apart in person, if not in
mind. But they are housed together
ogain and their relationship may now
continue mbroken until they have scrv-
ed sufficient time to satisfy the law for
their unbccoming behavior.

traders the market has not only failed
to develop fresh weakness, but shows a
general tendency to recovery. The fail

there was disappointment that further

FREIGHT TERMINAL
CLARKSBURG may BE.

Being Quietly Abandoned asSuch
for Clarksburg and Fairmont by
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
Company.
Trains Made up in Short Line Yards Here and
Despatched to Their Destination May Mean
Ultimately the Location of Railroad Shops in
This City.

The indications are that Clarksburg
is to be given additional preference by
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad company
over Grafton, where, although the rail.
road company has spent years in build
ing up that city, there is a strong dis.
position to give the railroad the worst OF
it all round.
There has been much talk of moving
the railroads shops from that city, and
in addition to that the abandonment of
Grafton as a freight train terminal.
Trains, according to report, arc in the
future, or after the change is made, 10
run from Cumberland to points west of
Grafton, that Is to say, Fairmont and
,,Clarksburg.
At tile present time UAc fact that
freight trains are being made up here
daily is an evidence that the railroad
company has begun in a quiet way tc
make the contemplated change. 1t i.
not generally known, that the past sevCra
days this has been going on here. Tho
trains are made up in the Short Line
yards at Adamston and despatched iron
that point to thcir destination The
movement has caused much surmisc b.
those who know about it, especially
among railroad employees 50 far as ha.
been learned, general order has not been
issued openly to this effect, but, it is be.
lieycd that the word has been .passta
to despatch many madc-up freight train,
from tbs city and Fairmont as it i
possible, for the good of the service,

In this connection trains are being
run through from Cumberland to thi
city, and then made up the yards in thi,
city and sent 10 Wheeling, Parkcrsbmg
Weston, Fairmont New Martinsyillc and

siderable repairing is already being dony
here, men being brought from the Graf.

when something heavy gets wrong, it j
shipped to Grafton for repairs, but al
ordinary repairs are made here.

APPOINTED

REV. J.A. FULLERTON, FAVORED
WITH A GOOD PLACE.
United States Senator Scott Tenders
Him a Place at SIS a Month, and He
VIII Fill it Faithfully and Wen.
A Happy Appointment.

Jack Fullerton, clerk at the James
Shepherd company book store in the
Waldo hotel building, has been rendered
very nice appointment. The appoint
ment is by United States Senator Nathan
B. Scott and the position is that Of page

very intelligent. geptlcmaply and worthy
boy lie possesses an engaging person.

His department is model and lie is one
Of clarksburg's very best boys. He has
won the implicit confidence of his pres
ent employers by his strict integrity,
complete honesty and unceasing atten-
ton. to business. There is possibly no
boy in Clarksburg who numbers more
friends and who is more highly esteem-
ed. He is son of Rev. and Mrs. j. A.
Fullerton. His father is well-known
Methodist minister, who has devoted his
life and energies to the welfare of the
Methodlst cause IN this state, and done
much to advance the interests Of the de-
nomination. This recognition of his son
by Senator Scott is not only compli-
ment to Rev. Fullerton, but is also a
consideration the denomination through
out the state will highly appreciate Jack
will likely accept the place, as it will
give him greater opportunity to pave
4 successful way in life, and will bring
him advantages which he vii be quick to
grasp. Because OF the worthiness Of the
young man and the recognition shown
the family, especially the father, whose
works have ever been for the advance
nent of religion in the state, no appoint
ment could have been made which would
have been more gratifying TO the people
Of Clarlsbmg and the people of West
Virginia generally will be pleased, and
Senator Scott, il he wasshes the course
Of Jack, will never have cause to regret
the appointment. The position pays
salary of S75 month.
