IL.l.AGEI
THE MUCH HERALDED5 PADEN
CITY FAILED TO MATERIAL
izE-STREETs ARE SILENT.

! It now looks more than ever as
though Paden City,zthe newly planned
town between New Martinsvil1e and
| istersEille, is not to materia1ize at
so early a date as was expected, says
| the Wheeling News. It was stated in
the News a few weeks ago that rep.
noting the town had arrived on the
scene again and announced that the
work of building the mills would go
on at once and that the town was to
grow.
Now it appears that the announce
nent Of the representative was not
true, as they have left the place
and there is nothing doing.
There are many people through
the Ohio valley who own lots
and have begun to think that their
money in the Paden City property is
not going to make them the fortune
that it was expected to do.
A Sad Spectacle.
Parties passing up and down the
river on the trains behold sad spec
tacle at the location of the once prom
Using Paden City. There is the large
frame work for mill that was prom
ised by the promoters and which was
started before the lot sale and on the
and which stopped operations shortly
after the lot sale was over.
Paden City was to be the great in
dustrial center and the promoters
went SO far as to start the construc-
ton of the plants. Then the construc-
ton of a number of houses was be-
gun by the promoters and the pur-
chasers of lots. The result is that
there are now less than twenty-five
new homes there about two-thirds
complete. They are implanted and
many Of them roofless, but the own
ers have too little confidence in the
in them.
Street Silent.
There were some important i'm
provements made in the streets there
and they present an odd sight to the
on the trains as they pass
BY. There are the long concrete
walks and the concrete bitches at the
curbstone down in the high weeds
hat have risen in the untrodden
streets and lots that are owned by the
sore investors.
There is nothing doing in Paden |
City which was a most promising in
lustria town twelve months ago,
lots were sold in many centers and I
is said that owners are scattered
throughout the country. It is hoped
" the investors that the long prom
sed Industrial Improvement may at
asst be begun and prosecuted to
lnish.

Locker Of Waynesville and his bride
arrived here from Duluth, Mimi, TO-
night, on his wedding trip, and was
met at the hotel by Deputy Sheriff
Heet and ,srved with divorce papers
on behalf Of his former wife, charg-
ing him with bigamy s.
Locker was married on Jan. 10 to
Miss Lucy Laduce, daughter Of man
,ufacturer of Duluth. He acknowl-
edged tonight that several years ago
he had married Miss Nora Hill, near
Waynesvil;e.
He said that recently he had applied
for and obtained q divorce in the cir
cult court of Clayton, st Louis coun-.
ty. The former wife sets up the
claim that the divorce was illegal on
the ground that Locker was not a res
ident of st Louis county, and con-
tends that she is his wife.
The summons demands that Locker
appear in March to answer the charge
preferred by his former wife.
Mrs. Locker (nee Laauce) was
grief-stricken when the papers were
served. Mr.. and Mrs. Locker will

Washing Feb. u. In the pres

mnny friends whose sorrow was scarce
~ less pronounced, Of the senate ! and z
house If entat,yes, Of dignitar-1
les from all the other branches Of the
government and Of the chief official
representatives Of most Of the foreign
powers, the funeral of the late Senat i
or Marcus a. Harna occurred Today
in the senate chamber, the scene Of
his most recent activities and of his
entire official life. .6. s
The spectacle was imposing and
quite in harmony with the public
estimate Of the great man 9 services
10 his country and the world.
The ceremony was dignified and
simple IN consonance with his charac-
ter. The senate chamber let itself
naturally to the occasion. II is prac-.
.eically barren of decoration, and the
dark furniture, heavy walls and sub
dued light were quitesin Keeping with
the sorrowful proceedings which were
the occasion of the gathering.
Seldom has more distinguished
body Of people been collected IN
Washington to do honor, either to the
living or the dead, and rarely has
there been witnessed here more inn
pressive processing. y.
The floor of the chamber was filed
with the representatives Of the official
life Of the national capital, the gal
aeries with people from all the higher
walks Of society, including the fam
lilies Of officials and many persons OF
distinction in the professional and
business world. XXX IT'D
The hall is not Of great dimensions
and admission to the galleries was
so regulated that there was no crowd
ing. but there were no vacant seats. I
The demand for tickets was such
that if it could have been met, the
space would have been filled many
times over.
