In His Uppers Was Well Dressed
Man.
Must Have Been Crazy to Take Ii
for Clarksburg.

a well dressed man got off east
bound B. s. o. passenger train No. 2
yesterday morning, and enquired Of
the porter what city this was. When
informed that the station was that at
Parkersburg, he studied moment and
asked If he should change trains here
saying that he wanted to go to ST.
Louis. The porter said. "why, man
youse dun been on the wrong train all
the time. We's going east to WASH
ington, Baltimore and New York.
Youse been comm the wrong 70 shure
and you'd better get on here and go
back on No. l."
The man said he got aboard at
Washington, but several other pass
engers insisted that he got on at Gin
cinnati, and had a ticket from that
city to Clarksburg, and that If he be-
lieved what he, himself, said, that he
must be shy few convolutions in his

No one seemed to understand the
young man any better than he did
himself, for after being told that this
was Parkersburg, and that st. Louis
was far west OF here, he re-entered the
car, took of his overcoat and sat down
as though intending to go east wheth-
er St. Louis was in that direction or

WEST VIRGINIA LAWYERS
NAY BE Law BREAKERS
They Ate Quail on Toast. it
Seems. at Their Banquet During
the Annual Meeting at Wheel
ing Last Week, Con
trary to Law.
Revenge on Them by Bringing Them Info Court on
CHARGE of Disregsrdine the Law

Wheeling, January 5.--w whether the.
State lawyers violated the game law
at their banquet Wednesday night is
a question they can possibly decide,
but the publication of the menu card
with quail on toast as feature gives
rise TO interesting speculation on this
point. The season for quail expired
December 90
The law is said TO presume that
there has. been a violation by the per
sons ln1vhose possession the game is
found. The idea of the lawyers violat-
ing the game law by the wholesale is
creating vide amusement and some OF
the lawyers spoken to grew a little
apprehensiye as to likely visits from
county cpnstables and in view of the
fierce criticisms of the humble Justice
Of the peace at the banquet board by
more than one. barrister-orator it is
feared the Justices may retaliate by
summoniag them before their tri-
bunal.
ofcourse, the prospect of prosecu-
ttons aga INST the quail eaters is re.
mote, indeed. To prosecute the entire
bunch would require an army of cour-
iers armed with the necessary war;
rants, who would have to go to the
four corners of the State, as over 100
disciples Of Blackstone attended the
State Bar Associations annual feast
at the Windsor. Naturally the hotel
man might be the sole object of attack
by the Justice and his .minions, but
citizens conversant with the game law
say every lawyer at the banquet wasla
particeps crfminis.

There is persistent rumor that the
Jasper Y. Moore property on the cor.

optioned by Stephen B. Elkins or some
other big capitalists. The figure given
In this rumor is $4,000 but this may
be incorrect as the property is much

that a big bank VIII be started at that

The rumor is denied by Col. Moore.
he says the fellow who started it was
talking through his hat or in other
words giving the public hot air.
The Moore property is one of the
most desirable in the city. The loca-
zion is splendid. The property is
spacious and of excellent surface. 1t
contains handsome and modern three

THEFT
OF a Ham From Smiths Grocery
Store.
Cell Reed and Young Hopkins are
Suspected.

The theft of ham was committed
at the store of Frank "A. Smith on
Main street at about 7.3O Saturday
night. The ham was taken from the
display boards in front of the store.
Cell Reed and Win Hopkins were at
the store about that hour. Reed went
inside and purchased some sweet pota-
toes, and the Hopkins boy remained
outside. Upon the discovery of the
theft Mr. Smith at once suspected
Reod and Hopkins. he did not know
their names but described the boys to
parties residing on Monticello avenue
and readily concluded that they were
the persons who stole the ham. He
communicated with police headquart-
en8 aud Policemen White and Lewis
arrested Reed later that night. He
put up ten dollars for his appearance
at o'clock in police court Monday
night and was released. They failed
to ind the Hopkins boy.

Settled the question Of Incorpora-
tion at Adamston.
Mr.. schutte Declared That dutch
And Beer 90 Together.
to Knock Children Down
Bitterly Resented.

At the literary at Adamston Satur-
day night one of the biggest times in
the history of the town was experienc-
ed. Over 400 people attended, being
interested in the question debated.
They were entertained by able
speakers on the question, ''Resolved,
that Adamston should be incorporat-
ed" The speakers on the affirmative
were G. G. Southern, Rev ]. w.
Flanagan and G. Schultz. The last
named tried to get some one else to axe
his place but the crowd would not
consent to foregoing the pleasure of
hearing Mr.. Schultz, and it is well
they did not as he made speech
which did them good.
The points raised by the Affirmative
side were that Incorporation would
give them better streets at less money.
than they are now paying and enable
them TO have an independent school
district, to say nothing of police pro
lection.
The negative speakers were A. E..
Grimm, Henry Schultz and John Fra
zier. Their main objection was that
incorporation might bring speakeasies.
Mr.. G. Schultz answered this effect
lively by making statement that
where there was beer there were al
ways Dutch and where were Dutch
there would always be beer. This
seemed to settle the matter in; the
minds of the judges and they gave de-
cision to the Affirmative. The judges
were j. L. sehon, @. j. Martin and ].
%. Watkins, all dlslnterested parties.
After the debate speeches were
made by several persons, among whom
were William Camp, Cation Biddle, f.
E. Ashburn and w. j. Primm.
Elmer Baxter's suggestion abo u
knocking children down was resented.

Enters Home of Superintendent
Hamilton at Pinnickinnick and
Takes Seven Hundred Dol
lars in Money From
Trunk up Stairs.
Robbery Not Discovered Until Mr.. Hamilton Re.
turns From visit--ChiId Saw the Thief
Leave the House--Scarcely Clue.

An unknown burglar made a big
haul at the home of ]. E. Hamilton in
Pinnickinnick addition to the city
last Wednesday. Mr.. Hamilton is the
superintendent of the mines at that
place. Last Wednesday morning he
and his wife left on No. 3 for Ohio to
spend New Years with relatives. Mr..
Hamilton's parents went to his home
20 take care of the house and the
children during their absence.
About noon that day one of the lit
tie girls saw man leave the house by
way of the front door. She called her
grandfather and told him about the
man leaving. he Immediately went
to the door to see who the fellow was,
but he had disappeared. Becoming
alarmed Mrs. Hamilton went up stairs
and found that the drawers of the
dresser had all been pulled out and
ransacked and the trunk was open.
She gput~ the drawers aud trunk in
shape but did not discover that a
theft had been committed.
Nothing more was thought Of the
matter until Mr.. Hamilton returned
home Friday morning from Ohio. He
then discovered that 500 had been
taken from the trunk. OF this
amount $3.50 was in gold. They had
nearly Thousand dollars in the trunk
the day before they left for the visit
but took $500 or $500 with them.
Mr.. Hamilton Immediately notified
the proper authorities but the circum-
stances of the robbery furnished no
clue and it is very doubtful whether
the thief will ever be apprehended.

INCREASE
OF Wages of Ten per Cent. Granted
Miners.
BY the Fairmont Coal Company
January 1.
Advance Made Voluntarily by
Company.

The following is taken from the Fair.
mont Times:
The Times takes pleasure in appris.
ing the hundreds of miners in the
Fairmont region employed by the
Fairmont Coal Company, of holiday
GIFT that will be most. graciously re-
ceived by them.
1t is material increase in wages
that has been decided upon by the
Company and which went into effect
on the first of January. The order
which was issued from the office here
states that the wages of the men at all
the various plants will be advanced
practically ten per cent.
In the future the miners will be
paid fifty cents per car for pick mined
coal and there will be corresponding
increase for the machine mined pro-
duct.
A ten per cent. advance with some
few adjustments WILDE made in the
wages of hundreds of day laborers in
the employ of the company. This
class of workmen include the drivers,
haulers, trappers, tipple men and men
who are filling the various other posi-
tlons about the plants.
The adjustments mentioned above
refer to the re-arrangement of wages
for soineof thelay Iaborers at diner
ent plants where the character of the
work, heretofore, demanded different
scales of wages.
AS the Fairmont region has long
been noted in mining circles for pay
Ing the very highest possible wages,
the news of the advance will be re-
ceived with much agreeable surprise
by the men.
The advance was agreed upon by the
otficlt Is Of the company, not because
of any reason demanding such, but for
benefit of the men who have shown
their faithfulness to the company, and
for the faithfulness and sobriety in
which tn have transacted their
work for the best interests Of the COM
pany.
The managers of the company here
have fully Investigated the conditions
now existing and they found that the
advance was warrantable in every in
stance. That it will be heartily well
coined by the men goes without say
irg.
There is another indirect, but very
Important piece of information that
will be welcomed by the miners in this
region. 1t is the announcement that
better car supply would be furnished
in the future. Indications are that
the car shortage that has been harass-
ing the miners and operators here for
many weeks is now practically over,
and within short time much bet
ter supply of cars will be furnished all
the mines In the district.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
which for many weeks was unable to
furnish the empties, has greatly i'm.
proved its service and onicial reports
from that company bear out the
Times information that better sup.
ply will be Forthcoming within a short
time.
With the advance mentioned above
and better supply of cars, we predict
for the coming months the most pros
porous season the miners of this valley
have ever enjoyed. Fur years the
Fairmont region has been noted for
the prosperous condition of the men
who do the work and with the ad-
vancements today mentioned. along
with the promise OF full working days
