GLASS FACTORY BURNED
Cameron Meets with Another
Piece of Bad Luck.

Gas Connections Broke and Factory
Burst into Flames-Employes have
Narrow Escape from Death--Jason
Clark of This Place Returns With
story.
The town OF Cameron has lost its
principal industry, the Marshall
Glass factory. This calamity com
ing CD the heels Of the failure of the
Cameron Bank will probably give
the town a blow from which it will
be hard to recover. Jason Clark of
this place was at Cameron yesterday
having gone there on business. He
brought back the following account
of the fire:
The Marshall Window Glass COM
pany was heavy sufferer by fire
yesterday morning. The blowing
department, equipped with modern
tank furnace, was totally destroyed
and many of the so employees had
narrow escapes from injury and
death.
At 9 o'clock the regulator at the
high pressure gas main leading into
the factory blew off, The escaping
gas instantly flooded the entire
building and the interior burst into
mass OF flames. The workmen
barely had time to fly for their lives.
1t was impossible to cope with
the fire and the building was soon
leveled. The loss will be about
$40, 900, partially covered by insur-
ance. The Turned building was of
structural iron and will be rebuilt at
once. The greatest loss was 10 the
machinery. The warehouse was un-
harmed.
The company has been making
glass for three years. Guy Patter-
son, formerly of GAINESVILLE, is the
general manager.

RESUMPTION
Of Construction Work on the Buck
Shannen and Northern Railroad is
Expected by One of the Contractors.

hAPCoeeu ny OuC VI tuo O0ubTdCt0Tss
The fact that the Wabash contrac-
tors who were at work on the Buck
hannon and Northern railroad, and
who were ordered last week to sus-
pend operations expect to keep and
retain their camps along the route
and not remove any of their equip
ment, says the Clarksburg News, is
taken as Indicative of the resumption
Of work within a short time.
Mr.. I. P. Dennis, OF the firm of
Rinehart, Dennis & Co., who have
contract for grading the road, was in
the city yesterday from Fairmont
and refused to say much about con-
ditions along the line. He said,
however, that his company would
not remove its equipment, but ex-
pected to resume work within a few
months. He said his impression Is
that the bad weather was the pfinci-
wal cause OF the temporary -suspen-
sion.

10 KILL DOGS
People Required by Health
Board to Take Action.

Dogs Along Line OF March of Rabid
Deg to be KILLED Muzzled or Penned
up aaotaer lnstallment of Treat
Use on Rabies.
The county board Of health has
held meeting and has directed
that all dogs bitten or supected OF
having been bitten by the mad dog
on the West Side be shot. They.
recommended that all dogs along
the line traversed by tue rabid ami
NAL be muzzled or otherwise confined
securely.
IL is announced by the board that
all who refuse to follow the advice of
the board in this particular shall be
dealt with in accordance with the
statutes made aud provided Sew
eral dogs have been killed in accord
ance with this edict and the rest
which are suspected are being
watched closely.
A second installment OF the arti-
Gle on rabies has been given by DIR.
Taught who is president of the
county board. 1t is as follows;
Rabies or Hy,lrophobia, being so
very yirulent and fatal it is neces.
sary that all dog owners, especially,
should study the symptoms of this
disease.
There are commonly two forms Of
il described: First furious rabies;
Second, dumb rabies In the former
the animal is irritable, and bites
nearly all objects which comes in its
way; IN the latter the muscles of the
jaw are paralyzed from the heeln-
ming, ans not being able TO bite, is
more quiet Practically the two
forms are the same, but owing to the
parts of the brain affected, and the
acuteness of the attack, paralysis
appears much sooner in The one
than the other. 1t is alsu fact
that the yirulence of the attack may
be SO great that only very short
time may elaPse from appearance OF
fest symptoms till death by conyul
sions. The saliva from case OF
dumb rabies is just Us dangerous as
that from the most typical OF the
furious kind.

Panama Canal Will Be Push
ed to Completion.
MANY WORKERS SECURED
Eight Hundred Jamaica Negroes A.
ready Employed on Canal, VIII
Be Retained en- Most Pro-
ficient Part of Force.

A Washington special says: Presi-
dent Roosevelt had an extended con-
ference Saturday with Admiral Walker,
chairman of the isthnian canal COM
mission, concerning matters connected
with the canal work. They discussed
particularly the regulations which are
to be issued by the president govern
ing the canal zone and operations OF
the commission. Absolutely definite
decisions regarding The scope OF the
regulations has not been reached yet,
but probably will be in a few days.
Admiral Walker said On leaving the
white house that at present the laoor
supply on the isthmus was ample for
the purpose of the commission. Just
now between 700 and 800 men, princi-
pally Jamaica negroes, are employed
on the canal. On the transfer OF the
property to the United Statee, Admiral
Walker telegrsphed authority to con-
tinue the work without interruption.
Thus far it has not been decided by
the commission whether the WORK OF
construction shall be done by contract
or directly by the commission. In either
event, the laborers now on the isthmus
probably will be given employment. 1t
is expected that when the construc-
ton work is in full swing, several thou
sand men will be employed. The day
laborers on the isthmus receive in
wages about SO cents a day, United
States currency. They are generally
good laborers.
Major William M. Black, of the
corps of engineers, United States
army, who returned recently from the
isthmus, after more than year spent
there investigating conditions, had a
talk with the president. He will
return to Panama, leaving Tuesday
with General Davis, of the isthalan
commission. He expressed the belier
that the sanitary problem confront
ing the commission was not a serious
one. Few mosquitoes, which carry the
germs of yellow fever and malaria,
are found in the interior of the coun-
try, even in the swampy districts. AT
Panama and Colon, however, there are
millions of mosquitoes, the breeding
of the pests being due to the care
loconocs af the inhahitantS
Major Black is Of the opinion that
this condition may be corrected easily
by the enforcement of proper sanitary
regulations.

THE STORM.

They say it the wind in midnight skies
Loud shrieking the window, that doth make
Each shudder with its of cries.
And the barred door with pushing shudder shake.
Ah Ah S the souls pass by
Their lot to from % Gods high place.
Pursued by each black sin Tn Death let fly
From their sad fesh TO break them in their chase.
They say it the from leaf to leaf
Doth slip, and roll into the thirstins ground
That where the 5 tramplcd sheaf by sheaf
The heavy of the storm is found
An, no; All. no. It is reoen
BY those let fall who make their deu flight,
And drop by drop the anguish of their fears
around al the awful night
They say that in the lightning fash, and
OF clashing Clouds the pest is about;
And draw their chairs the glowing hearth before,
The easement close % shut the danger
All, The doors of Paradise. they swing
open for a soul night spent,
Then come together till the thunder's ring
Leave halfbinded by Gods clement.
