WILL EXTEND TO PARSQsS.
M. & X. VIII Spend Million
Dollars This Year.
Senator EIkins Wanted to Extend II
Last FEAR, But Son Convinced Him
Differently Trolley Line tcnstruc
tion-About the Star Line

Il is believed by those Sbo are ia a
position 70 know that the NJ. s. X.
will be extended ia the spring from
Bfetz TO Parsons aud junction With
the West Vi-giaia Central. 1t will
cost about million dollars 10 do this
aud the construction OF the line will
make the NJ. & K a most important
| bit Of road. 1t runs by way of Rowles-
burg to Parsons. The nearest il will
come to Kingwood IS q point about
| halls a mile from Kiugwood
1t IS asserted that Senator Elkins
wanted to build this line last summer,
but was dissnaded by Davis EIkins on
the ground that 1t would COST much
more to do it then than it would cost
year later. Rails were extremely
high and labor was high and scarce.
This summer men are expected Is be
easier to secure, and there will not be
the trouble experienced that is usually
encountered in this quarter Ia times
of great prosperity.
When this line is finished it will
demand an outlet for the NJ. s. K to
the north and the Wabash. Row
and where this will come are interest
ing subjects for speculation. A well
Informed gentleman says that the
tunnel project so often apoken OF will
hardly be adopted. 1t was claimed
that tunnel would be sent through
under the town and a bridge be started
over the river near Front street and
Beechuist. The gentleman in ques.
tion says that Senator Elkins favors
crossing Decker's Greek at or near the
ssHug Back" aud following the south
side Of that stream down to the Brown
hill, where the bridge will be started
over the river, landing on the Keener
place on the West Side. From there
it viii run down the river TO SCOTS
Run and up that stream to the Wa
bash.
The Fairmont g. Morgantown cleo
trio road will probably not be built
this summer, but it is expected that
some construction will be done. This
will start from the Fairment eud OF
the line. Senator Elkins is interested
in this road. Work must begin sooner
at that end than it Is required to be
resumed in this section.
Another interesting rumor Is that
the Star Line is not 10 be built. This
is disputed by local representatives of
the legal department OF the b. & O.

Marion County Man Receives
Mysterious Missive.
He Fears That 1t Is To BE Another
BiackshiIe Ease Officers Went With
Him to Rendezvous bat Williams Did
Set Show Hp-sinisssr San sation.


Charles Jsnkey, OF Downs, has
hcen threatened with death unless
he marries girl named MARY or
gives $4,000 20 The desperate SIX"
who are writing blm letters with
direst threats in them. An effort 10
catch the writers was rot successful
as tue presence of officers was noted
BY the gang which was watching.
Jankey hasnoidea as to the identify
of the writers.
A special from Fairmont ellis of
The letter and the action taken after
its receipt. 1t is as follows:
M. Jankey - This is to notify
You that Yen have your choice OF
two things The first is to bring "a
preacher with yeu at ten o'clock,
Thursday night, March 10th, TO
Bartlett's gate, on the ''big road"
and there marry girl we bring to
yon. Ask no Questions and make
the minister beiie,e she has always
been a sweetheart oil yours. You
marry her and treat her nice, and it
once you do anything out OF the way
TO her we will fiud it out. The other
choice is 70 come alone to the same
place on the same night. and br Nc
two thousand dollars and leave it in
pit near the gate. Then you walk
away and if YOU turn around we will
shoot on.
IF you fail to do one of these two
things we will kill you like dog.
You will not get OFF as easy as
Blackshire, and do not try 10 DO any
funny work, as he did, as we will
follow you TO the end of the world
but what we catch you There are
six of us, as desperate meD as ever
walked. -
There was no signature to the
letter and Mr.JaEkey found it tackled
to his back door. lie at oaee became
alarmed and sent here for officers.
Ike sheriff aud several deputies ent
up there Thursday, and together
With Jsnkey, went to the gate for
Developments, bnt nobody showed
up.
1t is reported to-day that Jankey
found another letter on his door this
morning, telling him that the gang
knew OF the officers presence aad
laid low, but now he will be sorry
for bringing the officers up there, as
they will make him do one thing or
the other very shortly, Or kill him.
Mr.. Jankey is very much alarmed
about the situation and does not
know what to do. He says he is
certain that he is being watched all
the time, aud if he dares leave home
he will be killed He hasn't the
slightest clue as to who wrote the
letters as they are so sprawled that
they are very difficult TO read. 1t is
likely that he will submit to the
black mailers by leaving them the
money.

NEW CITY BUILDING
Is Go, No Matter Who is Elected
Will be Built at End Of Walnut
Street.

Morgantowp is sure to have new
city building, no matter who holds
the relgns of city government after
the coming election. 1t has become
apparent to all that such building
is not only needed badly, but that il
will prove good investment from a
business stand poiut.
II will not be built on the site OF
the NJ. p. church, but on the land be-
longing to the city at the end Of Wal
nut street, where the blacksmith shop
now stands. The lease to the present
OCCUPANTS expires this year and the
city can take possession. No better
location could be found for the city
building. 1t will be convenient to
the Second and Third wards, on the
street car line, and an excellent point
from which to reach fires.
