McClosky of Philadelphia Gets the
Maehinery--Plant is Expected to
Resume s00n.s
The Monongahela Textile Company's
plant and machinery have been sold
to the Bank of the Monongahela Val
ley and to J. ]. McClosky OF Philadel-
phia. The former bought the real es-
tate paying $40, 600 for 1t and the lat
ter purchased the machinery for
which he paid 81, 20s.
The machinery cost when new 1913,
900. 1t has not been In use great
many years and is practically as good
as new. The Bank of the Monouga-
hela Valley had the first lien on the
holdings OF the company and will not
lose any money by the failure of the
concern.
Messers Frazer and Cox were ap-
pointed receivers of the company by
the circuit court some time ago when
1t failed. They gave out the above
information this morning.
1t is stated that the plant will
shortly resume operations as wooden
mill. There Is no reason why it con-
not be made to pay. The failure was
caused by too much money being tied
up In the machinery AMI the product.
Much OF the product has already
been sold at sixty present OF its value
and more will be realized on this. 1t
is not known just what per cent Of
the claims against the company will
be paid but 1t is thought that the
creditors will lose very little If any
thing through the failure.
Every one here will be glad to know
that there is the best kind of a chance
that the factory will start again and
will give employment to large force
of work people. 1t is one OF the most
important of the Older industries OF
MOrgantown.

Mrs. ChOIlet Rose to the Occasion.
Fire broke out in South Park in
the house occupied by H. G. Wall
man auditor Of the NJ. d K r. r.
1t started from the gas pressure
coming on strong in a range down
stairs. The alarm was given and
the department started to the scene
but the flames were extinguished
before they got to the bridge leading
to South Park.
Mrs. Chollet was the heroine OF
the occasion. The professor lives
next door to the house in which the
fire occurred. Mrs. Chollet was
among those who were attracted by
the cries of the family in whose home
the fire had started.
She ran over with the rest. Open
ing the door to the kitchen the spio-
OF was found to be alongside the
door and small garden hose was
attached to it and she went to fight
ing the fiie.
By this time the room was full of
smoke which was so dense that no
other person in the crowd could
stand it. Mrs. Chollet faced the
music and determinedly fought the
fire with her small appliances and
finally succeeded in drowning out
the flames which had burned con-
siderable hole in the floor.
After the fire she was the recipi-
ent of many congl atulations Cd her
bravery and GOODNESS. Others who
had tried 20 stay with the fire bad
been driven out by the smoke.
The damage amounted to about
fifty or seventy five dollars. This is
covered by insurance
The fact that they had for once
received gas enough to start fire
was the subject OF good deal of
merriment to South Park citizens
this morning.
The fire alarm was given about
ten thirty and attract ed tremend-
Gus crowd of people. The audience
in the Opera House was wildly ex-
cited and panic was narrowly
averted when the whistle began to
screech out its warning of fire.

Several Resolutions introduced
in National Senate to Bet
ter Fuel Conditions.
HOUSE DID NOT HAVE QUORUM.
Bill to Create a General staff in the
Army Was the Issue in the Lower
Branch, and Call Showed Not
Enough Members Present.

Washington, Jan. 6.-When the SEN
ate reconyened yesterday, after the
holiday recess, few senators were alb.
sent. Almost Immediately a discus
sion began regarding the coal situa
ton.
Mr.. Lodge prefaced his Introduction
of a bill suspending for 80 days the
duty On coal with the statement that
in New England there was much dis.
tress owing to the scarcity of coal
and that unless relief was afforded al
once a number of factories would
have to shut down. He was aware,
he said, that such a bill should orig
mate in the house Of representatives,
but 1t was his desire to call the at.
tention of the finance committee to
the state of affairs. Mr.. Culbersoa
followed with a resolution providing
for the removal of the duty on an
thracite coal, and asked it's immedi-
ate consideration. Mr.. Plat (Conn.)
objected, saying it was his under.
standing there was no duty on anthra-
cite coal.
TOOK exception.
Mr.. Vest took exception to this
statement, and said that the board Of
general appraisers and Presid snt
Roosevelt had decided that such e
duty is imposed. Mr.. Vest also intro
duced resolution on the subject
Another resolution bearing on the
subject of coal, introduced by Mr..
Jones (Ark). rec!ted the charge Of
W. r. Hearst, that there was an lille
gal combination among certain rail
roads to control the shipment of an
thracite coal, and called on the attor-
ney general for the evidence which 1t
was alleged has been secured by
him. 1t caused lively debate, in
which several Republican senators
vigorously resented what they thought
was reflection on the attorney gem
erai The discussion continued until
2 o'clock, when the resolution went
over, being displaced by the omnibus
statehood bill.
Mr.. Nelson (Minn) addressed the
senate in opposition to the bill, and ia
vored single statehood for Oklahoma
and Indian territory. At 4 O'Clock the
senate adjourned.
In the House.
The house resumed work yesterday
after recess of two weeks, but with.
In two hours the machinery broke
down for lack of a quorum. The bill
to create general staff in the army
was the issue. An attempt was made
to pass it under suspension of the
rules, which requires a two-thirds ma
jority. Although the members of the
minority Of the military committee en-.
dorsed it, opposition developed be
cause Of the hurried manner in which
1t was proposed to pass the bill, and
the division. 10S to SO, developed that
Il did not command the support OF
two-thirds Of those present. A cal,
of the house followed, but as the roll
call showed about 80 less than QUO
rum, the house adjourned.

turkey, so he appropriated them. But
the neighbor objected and had John
arrested for stealing. He was taken
to the police court where Judge Toney
induced him to confess to the charge.
Parks said in explanation that the
temptation of seeing the chickens ev
cry day and the near approach OF
Christmas without the immediate pros
poets Of Christmas dinner proved too
great for him, and he took the
chickens. He intended to invite the
neighbors to his big dinner of chicken
Christmas day. John was fined on
twa charges of petit larceny. He got
$1025 for stealing the rooster and the
judge kindly buched the two hens to-
gether, saying they were of the same
sex and fined John $40 for stealing tie
two. This makes a total of $2O.25,
which amount of money John did not
have On his person SO he went to jail.
