d. Post Elected President of new
Railroad-Suryeys Made with se-
crecy.
CLARKsBURG, w. Va, June g.
What is believed to be move of the
Wabash railroad for a route between
Pittsburg ami Belington was made
here to-day, when the Pittsburg, Elk
& Southern Railway Company was or
ganized. Maps and profles OF the
proposed road were filed with the
clerk of the County Court aud Hon.
Melville d. Post Of Grafton was
elected president of the company.
The charter If the road calls for a
line commencing at point on the
State line of West Virginia and Penn
sylyania at or near Blacksville, Mon
ongalia county; thence up Elk creek TO
Bushy Fork, along Bushy Fork to the
most practicable route TO its headwat-
ers; thence to the junction Of the
Buckhannon and Tygarss Valley riv-
erS; thence to the town of Belington,
Barbour county. The route as shown
by the maps, will go through Harri-
son county and touch Clarksburg
The Baltimore & Ohio owns two
surveys up Elk creek, and. it was
thought had pre-empted the only
possible line between this place and
Belington, but the maps filed show
proposed route leaving the Elk at
Quiet Dell aud making through
route to Belington.
1t Is thought here that this is the
true Wabash route from Pittsburg TO
Belington. The proposed route would
give the Wabash the same Pittsburg
coal feeders the Baltimore & Ohio has,
and would pass through one OF the
best agricultural districts in the State,
as well as through good oil and gas
region. 1t is the opinion here that
the Wabash will abandon the other
projected routes through this part Of
the State and use that proposed by
the new company to connect with the
West Virginia Central at Belington.
Mr. Post has charge of the new en-
terprise, although it is said that a
large New York banking house is back
of 1t f0I the Wobash. He is a heavy
ftoeknolder in several State railroads
and Grafton banking institutions.
FAIRMoNT, June 6-Wabash Of
ticials here state that the B. & n. is
the true Wabash route and the Harri-
sou county ~line has no connection
with the Wabash.

running loose in the lot. So far all

At present it is impossible to tell
whether they strayed away or were
stolen. The latter seems highly
probable however since nothing has
been heard of them.

Hardcastle was worthy of an experience
ed actor, in fact, Mr.. Duke has had
considerable experience in amateur
theatricals and manages the business

pecially, he was roundly applauded.

ever gave more perfect imitation Of
man carrying large jag. H. L.

of similar nature.

NARROW, made lasting and pleasing
impression 10 role that has littls In

displayed considerable talent at times,
but his part was slightly marred by
his lack NJ familiarity with his linec
In the role of Miss Hardcastle, a
part requiring considerable versatility,
Mrs. James G. Frazer attained high
degree of excellence. She was prob
ably at her best as the bar-maid in
her love scenes with young NARROW,
though as Miss Hardcastle in the first
scene with that gentleman, she was
heartily applauded.
Miss Ella Utt as Mrs. Hardcastle
showed TALENT and finish seldom seen
In an amateur performance. Her
conception OF the part was true and
her Interpretation faithful. Miss
Daisy John as Miss Neville was, as
usual, thorough success. She play
ed the part with her usual dash and
spirit, and made The most of 1t. Miss
Edna Brady, as Dolly the maid, was
one of the best OF the minor charac-
tiers.
The whole performance reflects
great credit upon Prof. Patterson,
who trained the club. The players
themselves should feel highly gratifed
with their own success.

MIsER "LONG TODDS FORTUNE
Mrs. Jordan, 10 whom He Left II by VIII,
Proves TO lie His Niece.

SYRACUSE, Aug. 30.-New evidence has
been discovered in the matter Of the will
OF Long Todd" the miser, who left his
fortune, estimated at $40 900, to Mrs Peter
J. Jordan of Brockton, Mass. The only
reason for his act was thought TO be that
she had given him place to sleep during
his wanderings Now it develops that she
was his niece.
The Todd family was one of wealth in
England One of the sisters of Long
Todd" became enamored of an Irishman
named McCue and eloped with him to this
country after being married in England
A baby was born at sea and the wife died
McCue placed his baby with New York
family and accumulated considerable money
and married again The girl grew to
womanhood and married Peter Jordan.
McCue kept it secret from his second
wife that he had child by his first wife
He revealed the secret just before his death
and left all of his property to Mrs. Jordan.
The lit igation which followed landed Mrs
McCue in the insane asylum and the estate
has never been settled. Long Todd"
had also kept track Of his niece and willed
her his property Mrs. Jordan had small
hope of getting the Todd thousands until
one Otto Frink came forward and said that
he was witness of the will and that Todd
frequently referred to Mrs. Jordan as his
niece.

FATAL ASSAULT on A WOMAN
Caroline Link Dies Of Injuries Received
in Her Employers House.

BALTIMORE, Md, Aug. so Miss Caroline
Link. who was murderously attacked
on Thursday last at the residence and store
OF her employer, r. Hoffman. died this
evening at the Maryland University Hos
nit as a result Of her injuries. To-day's
investigation caused the police to say
that the woman was the victim of foul
play,
AN attempt was made TO murder her"
asserted Detectives Hall and Dick who
are at work on the case.
The motive for the attack, they believe,
was either robbery or criminal assault,
From what the detectives learned Of Miss
Link thew say she was woman who would
fight to the death il attacked.
1--WE have learned where the club came
from" said Capt. Humphrey, though it's
owner can in no way be connected with the
case. The stick was taken from push
cart and we are positive from it's appear
ance that it was broken from the fruit cart
on the morning OF the assault. II seems
that the Job was premediated. The stick
was wrapped in paper by the culprit in order
TO hide il and not to lessen the noise of the
blows He might have gone there to as
sault her or to rob the store. Whoever 1t
was he knew that old Mr.. Hoffman left the
place in the early morning and he selected
such time to enter the house. Miss Link
might have been in his wayif he meant
robbery, and therefore was beaten into
insensibility."

There is no great poverty in Ireland

such as is to be found in this country or

was felt there few years ago is not known
now. The visit of the King, his democratic
WAYS, his attitude toward the Church
and his respect for the death OF its tenn
moral head, have all won for him loyalty
and love unprecedented
