not be induced to accept any political
office. His only ambition, he said, was
to further the trades union movement
His speech in the main was prac-
tical talk to the mine workers, urging
them to Loyalty maintain their union,
that they might be prepared to act
collectively when the present three
year working agreement expires and
new one has to be made. If they do
not maintain the union, he said, they
will suffer reduction in wages. The
goal to which the miners should as
pire, he said, was an agreement grant
ing the eight-hour work day and rec

Mr.. William Sherwood, who will
make his first appearance that eye-

In 1900 Mr.. Sherwood offered Dean
Wrightson a half interest in the Sher-

that school. but Mr.. Wrightson had
already closed other arrangements

Circuit Court adjourned Thurs
day afternoon until Saturday morn
ing at o'clock. There has been
very little of general interest done
for the past few days, and the re-
naming days of the term will
be devoted almost entirely to chan
| Gerry causes.
Saturday, ex-Attorney General,
Alfred B. Caldwell, of Wheeling,
will be here to sit as special judge in
the two cases, j. A. IIostetter vs..
VIM. S. Snider, and Mariah Walton
vs.. W. 5. Snider Judge Mason
has decided that he is not qualified
to sit for the reason that he express
ed an opinion on the case to one of
the litigants before he was elected
judge. The suits involve the ques
ton of the ownership of some coal
under land which was sold The
Ralphsnyders are attorseys on one
side and Cox Il Baker on the other.
When the return of tie sale OF
wine belonging to J. c. Lyons was
made, Judge Mason stated that in
his opinion, the sheriff had no right
to sell the wine. Internal Revenue
Collector, Thomas E Davis wrote a
letter to Mr.. Baker, attorney in the
case, in which lie stated that the
sale of wine was legal. 1t was made
on this authority. Judge Mason,
however, gave it as his opinion that
lnasmpch as the wine was made by
Lyons from grapes not raised by
himself, the sheriff had no right to
sell it. He advised that the letter
from Collector Davis be kept.
Judge Mason was formerly an
internal revenue collector, and is
well posted on the laws He is
probably right about it, and Sheriff
Rarrickman stands in danger of the
law for selling liquor without license,
at least he is being told that be
does by every attorney who knows
anything about the circumstances.
Judge Mason will return from
Fairmont tomorrow Morning, and
will probably rule ON the injunction

vs.. Frank Pride, Lulu Pride and the
"City of Morgantown." The de-
PENDANTS are restrained from build
ing a livery stable in the Second
ward. A permit to do this was

MONEY RECLAIMED.
Strange Tale in Which Morgan.

Young man Loved Another Mans Wife
He Borrowed Money to Enable her
TO get q Divorce and Then Refused

tied the Matter.
A rather weird tale is related BY a
Morgantown man who recently had q
young man living IN Pittsburg arrest
ed while on visit here. The young
iman owed the Morgantown man some
money. He did not pay and when ht
came to town he was arrested. A
| friend came to the rescue aud the
young man was released.
The story of the case is a very in-
teresting one. According to the Nor
gaDtown man it grew out OF the inten-
tion of the Pittsburger TO get divorce
for a woman who wanted to be free
from her husband to marry him.
While the couple lived 10 Morgan
town the young fellow paid devoted
attention to the woman 10 the case
who liked him better than she liked
her husband. He was any easy going
fellow and did not protest at these
attentions.
Later the couple moved to Pittsburg
where the young Lothario was EN-.
ployed at gooc salary. The Illicit
relations were continued. Soon it was
determined to get divorce and then
the sweethearUs could be married.
But they did not have the money
Another Morgantown man who knew
the man and woman interested in the
| plot had,the cash which he lent to his
young friend. The divorce was Sc
cured but the marriage did not take
place.
Recently he saw the young man
who had fallen down on his contract
to pay back the money loaned and wa.
Informed that 1t would not be paid.
The first time the debtor came here
the arrest followed and the money
regained. This is the story the Nor
gantown man tells. Names are not
used for obvious reasons.

LINE TO CHANCEKY Hill
will be Built-Mr. Sturgiss' Clos,
Estimate = $1,000 Subscribed fol

StOCks
1t has been practically decided tina
the street car line will be built acros
the High street bridge to Chancery
Hill, aud through the Wiley home
stead to the cemetery.
The survey,has been finished and the
distance traversed is 1922 feet. Mr..
Sturgis walked oyer the proposed route
day or two ago and estimated the
distance at 2640 feet, or one half a
mile. He missed it only IS feet, and
that's guessin' some.
The material is on hand to build a
line that long, and unless some now
unforeseen obstacle arises it will be
finished this fall.
A little more than $1,000 has been
subscribed for the bridge company's
stock. A few thousand dollars re-.
main to be raised yet, and is thought
there will be no trouble in getting
this. The iron for the bridge will be
strengthened before it leaves the
mills.
