70 CONFER WITH THE PRESIDENT
President Desires to Go Over Certain
Matters in the Department
of Justice.

Oyster Bay, Aug. 11,-Attorney Gen.
eral Knox will come here to have a
conference with the president He
will take luncheon at Sycamore Hill
and probably will remain with the
president most of the day.
The president desires to go over
with him certain matters now pending
IN the department of justice, including
that phase of the Littauer-Lyon glove
contract case which was referred to
the attorney general.
The attention of the president was
directed to circumstantial statement
publisheN that Secretary of War Root
expected to retire from the cabinet
and be succeeded by Governor Taft,
of the Philippines. 1t can be said that
there Is no definite foundation for the
story, The president, since the first
intimation many months ago of Secre-
tary Roots possible retirement, has
hoped and still hopes that he will re-
main in the cabinet for a long time
yet. He believes that the secretary
certainly will remain through the conf
ing winter AND probably a much longer
time

Stowe then turned the revolver against
himself and sent bullet through his

over to his mothers care. Returning
to the bedroom, Stowe shot his wife
through the back of the head, killing
her instantly. He then went TO the

The police can find no motive for
the crime The married life of the
pair, their parents declare, was happy.
The family physician insists that
Stowe was temporarily insane. He
had suffered from malarial fever and
at times was much depressed.
Stowe was a graduate of the Bos-
ton institute of technology and was
employed by the Lake Shore railway.
He was "a years old. The wife was
20. The marriage, an elopement, the
police say, occurred before he left col
lege. Stowe was grandson of James
Tillinghast, at one time vice president
of the New York Central railroad.

BIGGES I DEAL YET.
Old David /. B. Anderson Farm
Sold For $4,000.


Keystone Industrial Co. Purchasers
Interesting History of Advance in
Price-Was once 0ptioned For Poor
Farm-Water Reservoir To Be Lo'
Gated On it.
One of the biggest deals in real
estate ever made in the vicinity OF
Morgantown has just been made.
Van A. Barrickman representing
the keystone Induserlal Company
reports that this company has pur-
chased the D. l. B. Anderson farm
An option was taken on the prop
erty for one month a short time
before the Randall lot sale. This
option vas at 1885, an acre. 1t was
accepted before the time had expir
ed, and the first payment has been
made on the property.
The farm now contains 29S acres,
and on it are fine brick residence
and other good buildings. The
farm originally contained about 400
acres, but a part of it has been sold
off or partitioned to heirs. The
whole 400 acres was offered for sale
few years ago, and the county
court held an option on it at $40, 900.
The sale of this tract last sold
amounts to more than $4,000.
AT the time the court was con
sidering the proposition to purchase
the Anderson farm, it received a
great deal of advice gratis in regard
to the matter People got hot about
the matter, and talked and wrote
about it. More than one man
prominent in the affairs of the town
scored the court for seriously con.
sidering the purchase. Others ad,
voeated the purchase. By reference
to the newspaper files, you may find
the animated discussion recorded at
some length in the public print.
1t is significant that the parties
whs most strongly opposed this
purchase are thosp who are chiefly
on the outlook fer calamity and
panic, and have done about the
least toward helping the town in its
recent advancement.
Among those who favored the deal
are some who have pushed to sue
cessful results some Of the greatest
enterprises launched here in the
past two years, though these same
enterprises were opposed by those
who did not favor purchasing the
Anderson farm by the county
The Anderson farm adioins the
other property owned by the Key
stone Company at Randall. 1t was
purchased with the intention of
utilizing the high knob on the farm
for location of water works for the
industrial suburb. 1t is beautifully
located for town site When all
together it was one of the finest
farms on this side of the river

THE BUILDING LOCKObT ENDED
Ten Thousand Men Retusn, to Work
Pending Settlement of Differ
ences by Arbitration.

Pittsburg, Aug 1.-THE trouble in
the building trades which has caused
a suspension of operations for nearly
two weeks. and in which fully 10. 600
men were involved, has been ended
for the present. Work was resumed
on all buildings in course of erection
and unless further complications arise
they will be finished without delay.
The trouble started by the refusal OF
the A. & S. Wilson company to EN-.
ploy union hosting engineers on the
Horne building It also refused to
sign the scale Of wages of the Inter
national Union of Steam Engineers.
The company could not comply with
the demand as the scale contained
two Objectionable clauses that the
Builders League would not indorse.
A strike was ordered and In retalia.
ton the league locked out all the men
who were members of the Building
Trades Council
sympathetic strikes were ordered
by the council until it is estimated
that 10000 men were thrown idle.
Numerous conferences were held, but
without result, until Saturday night,
when an agreement was entered into
by both sides to arbitrate the differ.
ences regarding the hosting en-
gineers. Orders were issued at once
tc resume work pending the rtsult OF
the arbitrators. A decision must be
reached, according to the agreement,

TOO MUCH GROWING
Spoiled the Biggest Chicken
Fight ever Planned.

FairmOnt UnlOnt0wn Main Didn't
Come off-Growd got too Big and
BOisterous Some Big Money Backed
the Game COcks-Eleyen Chickens
Matched -SpOrtsmen went to Greene
County.
@Some we'll known people of town
will attend a cooking main this
evening in West Virginia. Arrange
ments have been made to pull of
one of the biggest affairs of the kind
ever planned in this town.
That is what the Uniontown
Genins said yesterday. And the
Genius was right, in all but one
particular. Arrangements had been
made, but not all arrangements. A
few little details were neglected
Notably, that one of fixing TT with
the officers of this city That one
oversight spoiled the fur. And the
chicken-fght will be pulled off else
where at another time.
If the arrangements made had
been carried out, there would have
been one of the biggest chicken
fights in the history of the town.
The failure of the Uniontown end
of the crowd to do as they promised,
caused all the trouble.
The Fairmonters who were on
hand carried out their part of the
contract to letter, They came
down on the $40 train, and got off
at Ellington, as directed. The
Unlontown men were to come up to
Seneca on the SAB train, and make
the rest OF the journey by boat.
They were to bring eleven chickens
and eight men.
This they did, but they talked
about it in Uniontown, and when
the $40 train came IN, it brought
about a hundred unlimited negroes
and whites, soRe uproariously
drunk, offices suber, but all demand
ing to knew where that chicken
fight was to be held. They made
the purpose of their visit so evident
that the police were notified, and
about six of the eoppers betook
themselves TO the scene of hostilities
The noisy Uniontowners were scat
tered about the building, waiting
for the fun TO commence. 1t did not
commence The men who had ar
ranged the fight were thoroughly
Disguised, and the main was called
off.
Uniontown brought about twenty
chickens and Fairmont had as many
Only eleven chickens on each side
were to be matched however One
hundred dollars a side was bet on
each of ten chickens, making $4,000
IN all On the eleventh fight $500
side was the stake, making a total
of $4,000. Then there were to be
some side fights and some side bets.
No wonder there was disappoint
ment.
Some of the best chickens in the
country were in the coops, including
one famous cock that has never
been licked. 1t is said that some
Clarksburg chickens we're in the
bunch.
The Fairmont and Uniontown
parties lett on the 5;55 train this
morning. taking their fighting
chickens with them, aud the main
is to be pulled off today in Greene
county, Pa, unless further official
interference puts stop to festivities.
The affair is being widely talk ed
of today, and the Morgantown PEG
pie are congratulating themselves
on the fact that the thing was
stopped before the fighting began if
it was to be stopped at all.

SECOND GASSER
Drilled in by Keystone Industrial
Company.
Makes all the gas they want Some.
thing of Star Route Railroad
Factory Waiting ON Railway Switch.

A second strong gas well has been
drilled in for the Keystone Industrial
Company near Dayistown Pa, on the
Burwell farm. This has a gas pres
sure about equal to that of the first
well drilled in by the same people sew
eral weeks ago.
Although the company has leases ON
about 1900 acres Of territory, no other
wells will be drilled at the present
because the supply from these two
wells is all they need.
| Work will be commenced SOON on
piping the gas to Randall, where it is
to be used for the new glass factory
and other enterprises. How much
further it will be carried has not been
announced, but it is asserted that the
supply is now equal TO that of the
company now supplying Morgantown.
The new industrial town at Ran
dali is to be supplied from this gas
field
Work on the glass factory at the
new town is being delayed by waiting
on the B. and o. railroad for switch.
This has been surveyed, the grading
done, ties brought for it, and already
on the ground. Laying the tracks
has to await its turn along with the
other B, and o. improvements.
The new survey of the B. and O.
Star Route passes through the Ander-
son farm, across the Boyers farm to
the site retained by the Keystone Co.,
for a public school building. Here it
goes into the air and crosses the Mon
