OIL REGION EXCITED.
Reports are That men are to Join in
Strike Against South Penn.

The summary discharge of John
Harrison, the President of the State
Union of the United Brotherhood OF
Oil and Gas Workers, by the South
Penn Chmpany, will, reports from
Fairview today say, cause strike OF
every Gil worker in West Virginia
who belongs to the union, and will
tic up all operations within the
state until the matter Is settled.
The West Virginia union, which was
recently formed, has over 1000 mem
bers, and they will stand together
in any action that may be taken.
John Harrison is pumper and is
considered one of the best men in
the field. He has been employed
in the vicinity Of Fairview for sew
eral years, and. it is alleged, has
been offered high salaried positions
if he would not affiliate himself with
the union at the beginning. To this
his sent al emphatic refusal, and
since that time be has not stood
well with company, which at last
demanded his discharge. The union
men claim that their society is a
great benefit to them as well as be-
ing help to the company. 1t is a
fraternal organization and pays
sick and accident benefits.
The vicinity of Fairview is very
much excited over the prospects OF
strike, and business there is para
lyzed, and will be until something
definite is arranged.

STATE WINS TWO MEDALS
West Virginia Makes Fine Showing al
National POmOlOgical Exhibit.

.PARKERsBURG, w. Va, Sept. 1S-
Guy L. Stewart, B. & o. official To-
Gated here, and in charge of the indus
trial work along the line Of the road,
has returned from Boston, where he
went to attend the annual exhibit of
the American Pomo'ogical Society.
He brings back the word that West
Virginia was awarded silver medal
and bronze medal for the fine exhib-
its OF fruit it had at the national ex-
hibit. Mr.. Stewart recently attended
the State genealogical exhibit at Buck
hannon, and was so impressed with
the splendid exhibit that he induced
the State society to make an exhibit
at Boston, and the awarding Of these
nice prizes is the result This is the
first time this State has been repre-
sented at the national exhibit and
the persons who saw the exhibit were
amazed that such magnificent fruit
should be raised 10 State which they
thought OF as capable of producing
coal and sawlogs alone. The medals
were awarded on exhibits including
10 varieties OF pears. The silver med
al was awarded to the Miller Brothers
of Berkeley county, and the bronze
medal to the State Horticultural So
ciety. Fred e. Brooks of Upshur coun
ty was elected Vice President of the
national Society for West Virginia.
Colonel A. FL. Winchester has re-
tnrned home from St. Louis, where he
went as Secretary of the West Virgin
ia Commission to secure more space
for the West Virginia coal exhibit
than had been allotted. The original
space was cut down and Colonel Win
chester made personal visit to the
Board at st. Louis and on account Of
the magnificent display which this
State is expected to make the original
space was restored. This viii be
ample, although it is asserted that
coal operators OF West Virginia are
willing to spend 100000, II neces-
sary, 10 order that this state shall
have the best display Of coal at the OK
position He reports that the West
Virginia building at the exposition is
fast assuming Its shape aud IT will

PAYING MATTERS
Belt of Paved Street Through
South Park and Home side.
Big Cut in OyerdaIe Street-wilI make
Beautiful driye-Pians Extend To-
ward Efnguood Road Chestnut
Street Contract Finished.


Considerable paving is being done
by the Homeside and South Park
companies, about which little is
being said. 1t is of great Importance
to the city, nevertheless, and of still
greater Importance to the people
that own property or reside in the
section trayersed.
Some time ago, the city agreed to
pay one third of the cost of paving
Wilson street from Grand to King
wood street, on condition that the
property owners pay the remaining
two-thirds. This they will do, and
the contract for this strip, nearly
900 feet in length, has been let to
Thony Pietro. L. will cost about
$4,000. of which the city will pay
81, 500.
From kingwood street on White
and Front avenues, considerable
grading is being done. This is Icing
put into shape to pave, but the con
trant for laying the brick is not let
yet. This viii probably be done,
hos ever.
Through the Carrico bottoms, on
Overdale street, pavement is being
laid today. The brick arc on the
ground and a good bit of the grading
has been done. Thony Pietro has
the contract for this also.
Oyerdala street extends from
Front Avenue Trough the Carrico
bottoms, leads southwark through
the Watts land, to the Brock line, a
few hundred feet from the Green
mont end of the Walnut street
bridge.
The object of the Honest lie and
South Park people is to secure a
belt of paved stree. extending from
the South Park bridge, around Will
son, White snd Front avenues, down
Oyerdale street, to the Walnut street
bridge
In doing this, Greenmont's streets
will be avoided, and the whole sweep
of pavement will be owned by the
companies mentioned above This
will make one OF the psettiest drives
around the city, crossing the South
Park bridge and returning by the
Walnut street bridge.
A cut in the Carrico bottom on
Oyerdale street, is being made
through the mound or knob, on
which tradition says an old fort
stood in the DAYS of Indian warfare.
This cut is deeper than the average
two story house is high.
Overdalc street is about 1900 feet
long, and the grading and paving
will cost something like $4,000.
This will all be finished this fall.
Next year. the South Park com
pany will carry its paving towards
the Klngwood road They contem-
plate expending S $4,000 or $4,000
in this sort Of improvement
Thony Pietro has finished his
contract for paving Chestnut street
from Peasants all the way through
to Foundry. He completed the con-
tract IA days before the expiration
of the time limit His work is
thoroughly satisfactory, and the
pavement is one of the hest pieces In
the city

COMPLETION OF BRIDGE
To Chancery Hill-Big Improve
ment in Near Future.

Iron Will be Shipped Soon-System
Of Sewerage, Gas and Water Lines
Finished = New Residences to be
Built.
The completion of the bridge from
the south end of High street across
Decker's creek to Chancery Hill is
an event of the near future in which
the city Is deeply interested. The
work on the structure was allowed
to drag little when the injunction
proceedings were instituted, but
these having been withdrawn, and
the petitioners having agreed to in
terfere no further, it will be pushed
to rapid completion.
The concrete work of the piers
and abutments has been finished for
some weeks. This part Of the struc-
sure is first class in every particu-
tar. The iron work is being manu-
featured as fast as possible. The
greater part of it was finished at the
time the injunction was applied for,
and since this was Withdrawn, the
construction of the remainder has
been rushed as rapidly as as the
facilities of the factory will permit.
1t will be ready for shipment in a
few weeks at most.
The end of the injunction proceed
ings was gratifying, not only to the
Chancery Hill company, but also to
the people OF Morgantown who are
interested in city improvements.
The petitioners asked permission to
withdraw the proceedings, and this
was granted. They also agree not
to interfere further in any way with
the building of the bridge. The
members of the company agree to
be responsible individually for any
damages that might be awarded IN
u court OF final judgment. This was
simply a reiteration of their agree
