CHARGED Il.

The legal battle between the "A. G..
Fulmer Coal Co, of MorgantoWn,
and the Morgantown s. KingWood
railroad, involving the validity of
contracts which both sides claim
have long since been vitiated, was
given another whirl yesterday at
Morgantow1l, being one in a success
sion of Developments taking place
at various intervals in the United
States court, and ranging as to loca-
ton from Wheeling to Clarksburg.
The new development will attract
renewed interest IN the case for 1t
has to do with an alleged contempt
of the orders of the federal judiciary
Briefly the officers of the railroad
company have been summoned to ap-
pear january 10th before Judge
Dayton and show cause if any they
have why they should not be pun
ishcd for contempt.
According to a special telegram
from Morgantown it appears that
the NJ. & Il. railroad company has
sold to the Sabraton railway COM
pany part of the track leading
from the main line of the road to
the Fulmer mines, to be used as an
extension of the trolley line from
Sabraton to the steel plant. The
Sabraton company made an atetmpt
to tear up piece of the road, which
is the source of the litigation now
pending between the two companies.
Tics or rails, it appears, were re-
moved near the junction Of the troll
ley line with the railroad.
The FuImers learned of this at
tempt to remove a part of the road
and immediately took steps to stop
proceedings. For two rthree days

set, Pa. attorney for the plaintiffs
in the proceedings now pending in

CITY looking after the interests
Of his clients. In view of the nun
damus the validity Of which has not
been fully determined, the Nj. & k.1
it is coptrnded has no right to dis
pose of the piece Of road leading to
the mines. or to disturb it in any
manner. On this ground, rules for
contempt oil court were lSSut't. dtlH
the defendants are cited to appear
before the federal court on Japuary
10th toanswer the charge
The petition as granted is direct
ed against the NJ. & X. the Sabrl-
ton Railway Company, F. Il. Bretz
Davis Elkins. George G. Sturgiss
and ]. Ami Martin. They are to
appear on the tenth of January and
show cause why Judgment should not
be entered against them for con-
TEMPT of court.
The petition recites that on thct
goth dav OF October the worllmen
went upon the railroad and began
to remove the ties and rails under
the direction of J. Ami Martin. by

Beresford had plenty Of room in
which to indulge his eccentric funni-
ness. But in Our New Man" he
carries an exceptionally heavy load,
relieved only by his own ability.
The central figure is professor of
botany, one of those mild, unworldly
souls who finds himself the hub for
several revolving scenes in which he
figures In false roles involuntarily.
Beresford's clever portrayal of the
professor is delightful, artistic and
superior in every way and so long
as he is on the stage the piece moves.
But with the exception of A. Burt
Wesner as Peter Morrison and Kate
Bruce as Mrs Bolter the others of
the company are not up to the aver
age-due, no doubt, chiefly to the
faulty construction Of comedy.
