GOULD AND CASSATT WAR
SAID To HAVE ENDED.
The Pennsylvania President Reported
to Have Surrendered to the Stock
Attack.

NEW YORK, Jan. r. On the
authority of man said to be close tC
the Rockefellers and also to President
Cassatt, of the Pennsylvania railroad,
it is alleged that public announce.
ment will be made within the next lC
days of the settlement OF the Gould
Cassatt conflict and that the Wabash
will obtain an entrance to New York.
The Western Union wires will be re-
placed on the Pennsylvania right Of
way, although the offices Of the West
ern Union which were on the proper
tY of the railroad, will remain where
they have been removed to.
The fight, which began when George
Gould forced his way into Pittsburg
with the Wabash railroad, was carried
into the stock market. The Rookie
feller-Gould com oipation began sys-
temetic attack upon Pennsylvania
stock and forced it down to l103, when
Mr.. CassaJt, after appealing to ]. p.
Morgan and being refused help, made
overtures to the Goulds for peace.
He refused tina first terms submitted
and the stock was again attacked, and
then he surrendered. The discussion
as to the final terms Of settlement has
been going On ever since and this
semi-official announcement that the
terms of peace have been arranged
will be received by Wall street with
signs of relief.
At The Pennsylvania Offices no in
formation could be obtained as to a
settlement. All such news, it was
said, would have to come from Phila-
delphia. At the Offices OF Mr.. Gould
1T was said that Mr.. Gould was out
and that there was no one who could
answer any question about the matter.

About Fire.

There is one thing about which
we connot afford to re negligent and
that is in the preparation to fight
fire at any moment. Morgantown
has been fortunate in escaping SER
ious losses in this direction with lew
exceptions. Bnt there is no reason
for thinking that this condition will
obtain forever. Some ofthese times
serious fire will break out and if
we are 10 better fixed to fight it than
we are at present the loss is going
to be startling.
1t is proposed to have horses to
haul the hose reels. This is an ex-
cellent suggestion. 1t is also pro
posed to have one or more members
of the company remain on duty at
the fire shed at all times. This is
also au excellent suggestion.
The attitude of the mayor and the
city authorities towards these i'm
provements is to be commended but
they should not be content until the
reforms are realities.

W. A. STONE ARRESTED.
Uniontown Man Charged with
Serious Offense.
Said to Have Carried Dynamite on u. Il
D. Train-Came Frsm Uni0ntown on
Christmas Night No Statement
will Be Made by Keystone People.

A special from Uniontown says
that W. A. Stone, of Hopwood,
suburb of Uniontown, has been ar
rested charged with most serious
offense. 1t is alleged that he boarded
a train on Christmas day and came
into this county. When he left the
train il is stated he remarked to
companion that he should be careful
of package as it contained dyna-
mite
An effort is being made to keep
the matter quiet in Uniontown and
the papers down there have had
nothing about the arrest in their
columns. 1t is stated that the JUS
tice before whom the information
was made said that the affair would
probably be settled quietly and that
1t didn't amount to any thing.
Stone is interested IN some land
near Randall where the Keystone
Industrial company had lot of gas
nam destroyed on Christmas night.
They refuse to make any statement
of their movements although they
admit that they are taking steps to
protect themselves and recoup them
selves for the loss sustained in the
dynamiting.
Van A. Barrickman represents the
company in Morgantown. He SAID
this afternoon that this was not the
proper time for him to say any thing
about the case but intiInated that
there might be something doing
before long. He said that the dam
age done to the pipe line was about
50, 500 exclusive of The amount of
damage done in delaying and hinder
ing the company.
1t is said that a lively controver-
sary arose between the company and
The land owners of this particular
tract over the question of the right
OF way. All attempts on the part of
the Keystone people to settle the
matter amicably met with no sue
cess. Later their line was destroy
ed.
The information which led to the
action which has been taken in re-
gard to Stene was furnished to the
B. q o. detective by Captain Burns
OF the train on which Stone came
into the county. He overheard the
remark made by Stone when he left
the train. This was given to the de-
tective who at once went after his
man.
1t is penal offense in both this
state and in Pennsylvania to carry
high power explosives on a passen-
ger train.
Stone is cripple having lost his
leg in some manner and using an
artificial leg. He is quite prominent
in his home town. Many people in
this county know him. They hope
he may be able to establish his inno
cence of the charge which is made

STRONGEST EVIDENCE OF FAITH.
j. NJ. Reed Guarantees That Hyomei
Will Cure the Worst Case of Gatarrh
in MOrgautown.

When one Of the most reputable
concerns in Morgantown guarantees
that a medicine will effect a sure
cure or IL will refund the money, 1t
speaks volumes as to the merits OF
that remedy. IL is in this way that J..
NJ. Reed is selling Hyomei, the treat
ment that has made so many remark
able cures of both acute and chronic
catarrh in Morgantown aud vicinity.
Hyomei is not pill nor is it a
liquid that has to be taken with ia
blespoen or wineglass. Just breathe
1t by the aid of an inhaler that comes
in every outfit and benefit will be
seen from the first treatment.
1t destroys all germ life in the air
passages and lungs and enriches and
purities the blood with additional
ozone. 1t cures catarrh of the head
and throat, or OF the stomach, kid
neys and liver. Wherever mucous
membrane contains catarrhal germs,
there Hyomsi will do its work OF
healing, When using this treatment
the air you breathe will be found like

the sea level, where grow balsamic
trees and plants which make the air
pure by giving off volatile anticeptic
fragrance that is healing to the res
piratory organs.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but
$l.00, and includes an inhaler, drop.
per and sufficient Hyomei for several
weeks treatment.
Remember that il Hyomei does not
cure you j. M. Reed will refund your
money. This is-a good time to cure
catarrh by this natural method and
prevent catarrhal colds that are so
common at this season.
Endorsements similar to this are
plentiful in Morgantown. Call at j.
M. Reed s. Co.'S. drug store and ask
for particulars.

DIR. AND MRS. =. HAMILTON DAY
Their Fellow Men-Deing Much Coed
in Their Present Charge.

A private letter from brand Mrs.
Day gives some facts in reference to
their work in Clarion, Pa, where
they are spending their second year,
that we take the liberty to refer to
some of them. DR.. and Mrs. Day
though absent from here for a num-
Der of years have many warm friends
who are alwa~s glad to hear from
them.
During the past year church
debt of long standing was paid and
at the close of the conference year
the PASTORS salary was overpaid,
something that had never occurred
before.
Last fall they spent month in
Europe and are overrun with re-
quests to tell Of the trip. DR.. Day
is delivering course OF lectures ON
what they saw, the proceeds for
benevolent purposes.
One occasion on which they were
called upon to give an insight into
their experience is described in the
following paragraphs from the
Clarion Democrat:
"Miss Katharine Mcintyre, the
Normal Music DIrectress, gave
delightful ''at home" in Music Hall,
last Thursday evening. The honor
guests of the evening were Rev. DIR.
and Mrs. S. Hamilton Day, with
whom the company spent IAN even
ing in Europe" interspersed with
number of most delightful selections
of music.
"Mrs. Day took the guests on an
ocean voyage and introduced them
to various interesting scenes and
Incl dents in Great Britain and left
the party on the verge of Continen
tai Europe, wherethey were taken
in charge by Dr. Day as conductor.
He escorted the company to maay
interesting points in Holland, the
Netherlands, along the Rhine, and
on down into tar famed Italy, citing
many points of historic interest, de-
scribing many world famous pieces
of statuary, or paintings or archi-
lecture.
London Bridge was sung by Mr..
j. Clyde Clough, accompanied on the
piano by his wife, when the descrip-
tion of that famous structure was
given by Mrs. Day. And when the
doctor in his talk, traversed the
Beautiful Blue Danube River" Mrs.
Sarah Weir sang about it, accompa-
MED by Miss Mcintyre. Then when
Venice was reached Mrs. George f.
Arnold sang "Venice: Bride of the
Sea" Miss Mcintyre accompanying
and Mrs. F. M. Arnold Jr. and Miss
gave piano duet sup
posed to be popular with the gon-
dolier.
''Then the crowd broke up into
conversational parties for social en-
joyment, after which elegant light
refreshments were served. The
beauty OF the evening was the COM
pleteness of the program and the
fascinating manner in which it was
carried out"

This office is in receipt of many
fattering press notes from both To-
cal and musical papers in Baltimore
and Washington regarding Dean
Wrightson's singing during his
trip East. His appearance in the
concert field after Is mouths retire
ment, due to his heavy work here,
is hailed with delight by lovers OF
true musical art and from now on
he will devote some OF his time OF
concert work, as he did before he
came to us. In each OF the notices,
mention is mede of his connection
with the University here and this is
big advertising card for the School
OF Music. When East the Dean
engaged private manager also will
from now on prepare series of en-
gagements for him from time to
time Dates have already been
closed for Wheeling, Washington
d. G. and Baltimore March 25, 26
and 27. He says that he will tour
this State the earlier part OF that
week.
In Washington hes ang seven. times
and twice in Baltimore. At the
latter place a dinner was given in
his honor by Mrs. VIM. and Ernest
Knabe in the latter's beautiful home
after which he gave recital accom-
panied by Mr.. John Lawrence. He
was Immediately engaged for his
March date after being heard that
evening.
Dean Wrightson reports that the
Choral Society is doing heroic work
with the Oratorio "St. Paul" which
will be given here on February 11th
instead of February 9th. This date
has been changed to accommodate
Madame Jenny Osborn Hannah who
has received the distinction of being
engaged by the New York Oratorio
Society as soloist for their concert
February being the only American
artist engaged by that Society this
year. The Hannahs made big i'm
preston when last here and as this
is the first time an oratorio has ever
been given here, it makes the con-
cert an important one, especially as
we take local pride, init the larger
of the program being given by own
Choral Society of which we may be
justly proud.
The enrolment of the School of
Music this term is as fatteriug as
ever. Mr.. Wertime's and Dean
Wrightson's classes are largr than
ever before and several pupils now
come up regularly from Fairmont
each week to take lessons from these
teachers.
Preparations are being made for
complimentary Faculty Recital in
Recital Hall, in the near future.
The tickets for the Strauss Her
bert concert will be placed on public
sale soon. Those who have not en-
gagged, them ahead had better do so
at once if they desire choice seats.
