The Baltimore q Ohio Railroad COM
panys has been figuring for many months
ON a new depot 1T Clarksbugr, especially
passenger depot The repct has been
current from time to time that the pres
ent depot would be greatly enlarged, but
there appears TO Be a well founded be-
lief that the proposed passenger depot
viii not be located that point.
When the Baltimore & Ohio frst ac-
quired the Short Line railroad from Col.
II. N. Jackson and his associates In that.
enterprise. the general belief was that
at NO distant day passenger trains
would be running through the city, in-
stead of along one edge Of It. That be-
lief was based partly ON the fac that
the company, BY the purchase Of the
Short Line, came into ownership, Of .
right Of way through the city, and = very
good depot site The right Of way il
the track graded by the Short Line sbc-
fore it sold ont and the site Is at the.
foo of third street, where the Deison tiv-
cry stable Is located. The grading Of
the line through the city was practically
complete when the sale was made, and
but one bidge Remained to be built, that
over Elk creek near the Catholic church.
Recent Developments revive the rumor
that the aBltimore q Ohio win have q
central city passenger depot, It is stat
ed ON creditable authority that the COM
pany Is making efforts to acquire own
ership OF the Latstetter property on the
corner Of North Third and Pike streets
for the purpose of the erection of a pas
sengcr depot, which will be magnificent
and commodious structure, the cost OF
which will be in the hundreds of thpu-
sands of dollars. So far there has been
no open identification of the railroad
company with the movement to purchase
this property, but 1t is more than strong
ly intimated that the company is behind
the movement. However, efforts to buy
the property have not been successful on
account of the refusal of some of the
heirs to sell.
This property is centrally located and
is spacious, having frontage of 200 feet
msre on Pike street and. extending to
Hewes street, several hundred feet, and
adjoining the property already owned by
the company. HAT it is desirable for
that purpose the railroad company and
every one else readily sees, and such. be-
ing the case, there is more than mere
conjecture that the company is trying
to acquire it.

rest young married woman named Nil
lion, who had eIoped from that place and
had come here ON the Accommodations.
Lieutenant Smith saw woman ON the
Marietta train who answered the .le-
scription. but as he had no warrant he
did not believe he had any authority TO
arrest her.
On the evening accommodation wo-
man giving the name of Dowd, and claim
ing to be the mother of the young woman
who eloped, arrived here and besought
the aid of the police in locating her
daughter, who, she said, had eloped from
her husband with gambler named Adj
sins, and had taken two children with
her. The mother remained here all day,
but was unable to get any tidings of
her daughter and left on the evening
train.
An investigation here Of the above
story corroborates it except that Adkins,
whose first name is John, is cook in
the Pine Grove oil field, and not gam
bier. The woman in the case is the wife
OF Albert dillon, tool dresser in the
oil fields. and she is the daughter of AIRS.

ROOT OPPOSES SALE OF
OPIUM IN PHILIPPINES
Prefers Restriction to Government
Monopoly.

The opium monopoly in the Philip
indorsed by the Philippine Commission,
has been disapproEed by Secretary Root.
On the contrary, an effort will be made
TO prevent the sale of opium in the
archipelago. If this is found impcssi-
BILE. restrictions will be provided for its
sale
Acting under Instructions from Secre-
tary Root, an opium investigating
board has been appointed by Governor
Taft. It is composed of E. C. Carter
chief OF the Manila Bureau of Public
Health, Bishop Brent. Of the Episcopal
Church, and Dr. Albert
The board next week will begin a
careful investigation of the opium trade.
Observations will be made as 10 the
manner in which the sale of opium is
regulated in Japan. Formosa. Singapore.
Java, Burmah. Hongkong. and Shanghai
and a report will be made on the sue
cess of these regulations. The instruc-
tions to the board are to recommend
law for the close restriction. and, il pos
sible, the prohibition of the sale Of
opium in the Philippines"
When Governor Taft suggested the
opium monopoly IL was represented
that, with the large number OF Chinese
in the islands. its use and Importation
could not be prevented and the mo-
nopcly would confine its sale TO adults
and bring a large revenue to the Gov
ernment Secretary Root was at first
inclined to approve the plan A strong
movement was started in the United
States against the proposed plan. Re
ligious organizations entered protests
against it, Prominent churchmen were
given hearing by Secretary Root. and
he was finally convinced that the mo-
nopoIy would not work well in actual
practice They advised him TO adopt
the regulations operative in the British
Oriental possessions, which forbid the
sale OF opium except for medicinal pur-
poses, and then physicians prescrip-
tion is required.

Car S Consul Killed
By Turkish Troops
Believed That Second Murder of a Russian Official WI
Not Be OUeriooked.

NJ. Tscherbina fingered for two weeks
before he died, and his murderer was
condemned to death. but up to the pres
ent time the sentence has not been ex-
ecuted. At that time 1t was thought
that the act would be sufficient to cause
Russia to declare war against Turkey.
but the grand viZier called at the Rus
sian legation and personally expressed
his sorrow for the act of ibrahim. aid
Russia was apparently appeased.
NJ. MasshOff. who was appointed to
succeed NJ. Tschterbina. said before he
had been in Uskub a month that he
never expected to depart alive. There
is much apprehension that this second
murder of a Russian consul will not be
so readily overlooked by the Czar.

ROME, Aug. 9.--Long before the first
light Of the morning sun shone upon the
dome of St. Peters, the piazza in front
of the great Cathedral was crowded with
the thousands who wish to view the
coronation Of Pope Plus X as Supreme
Pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church.
In order to avoid any untoward Incl
dents, the government, at an early hour
last evening, ordered the detachment of
troops to the neighborhood of st. Peters
and the Basilica to be greatly augment
ed. and the soldiers were instructed to
instantly put down any anti-clerical
demonstration by the Socialists or the
Republicans.
Spent Night in Street.
Hundreds of the faithful were arriving
curing the day and evening from the
various provinces, particularly from
Venetia. and many OF these spent the
night in the vicinity of the cathedral in
stead OF going to hotels. so that they
might be in the front rank when the
doors of St. Peters were opened at I
o'clock.
The great cathedral has been divided
into compartments. with separate en-

Timely Tips.

These timely tips TO postmasters are
Of interest, because Of the recent reveIa-
tions OF the failure of Dostmasters In
many cases 10 observe the letter of ths
law in regard TO appointments. and in
other cases to disregard the spirit o,
the law. The work Of Miss Griesheimer in
Ohio IS Of particular interest because
OF the fact that a number OF the men
who have recently been indicted for al
legged offenses in the Postoffce Depart
ment are from that State, and indus
trious newspaper investigators have un-
eaTthed several giaring instances of vio-
lation Of the civil service rules among
the Ohio poEtmasters or of people high
er up who compelled the postmasters
TO assume irregularities.
Miss Griesheimer's trip is sure to at
tract much attention and the employees
OF the PostOffice Department are wonder
ing whether or not there will be any
dismissals of present incumbents as a
result Of her missionary work.
