has been invested. This lets the
stockholders out with very nice
margin and gives the holdings into
hands competent to develop it more
rapidly than the old company could
do :ls'.l
There is tacit understanding that
any stockholder Of the old company.
who desires to do so, may become a
member of the new company. Mr..
Harr asked for that concession for the
benefit of the original stockholders. :
The transfer ofAthe holdings of the
Industrial Company to the new COM
pany will mean much to the city of
Fairmont. The railroad switch is al
most ready. for the rails and by about
November first track will be laid
as far as the steel mill. That plant
will at once begin operations and a
number Of other industries will un-
doubtedly be located in that vicinity
very soon. The sale will not release
very much money just at present as
the Company will accept interest
bearing. first mortgage bonds, for the
larger part Of the stock, but as soon as
the. bonds are sold, the stockholders
will come into possession Of the good
hard cash, very desirable article in
this community at the presentvwHs
ing. r.
The, stockholders this afternoon On
acted upon the resolution submitted
by the directors and the property now
stands under option to the represen.
tative of the Fairmont Company to be
hereafter organized.

Bloodhounds were taken to the scene

two miners had recently stayed. But
the miners had left the community
and gone SO far that the hounds could
not trace them. They probably went

the police believe had an immediate
connection with the crime. These ar
ticles were contained in sheet of
wrapping paper which originally con-
tanned consignment of goods from
the Office of the Slater Silk Company,
on Kingston street, to Rebecca Burn
ham, who conducts little fancy goods
store at No. 2, Dalton street, in the
Black Bay. The wrapping paper was
almost dlsintegrated by the action of
the water, but the little pasted slip
bearing the address of Miss Burnham
and the address of the consignee was
plainly legible.
Miss Burnham could throw no light
on this phase Of the case last night.
She trades with the Slater Company,
but she generally throws away the
wrapping paper received from them.
! The quality of the articles found in
the bundle yesterday indicates strong
ly that the victim was woman Of re-
,inement, If not of wealth. Fine linen
,handerchiefs, one silk handkerchief
and the quality of the night dress all
indicate that the woman was a person
of means.
= While the police do not place much
confidence in the story of the young
man who yesterday identified the suit
case as belonging to his former em.
ployer, a physician, they are inclined
to believe that another young man
who called several hours later and
identified the suit case as one he had
owned. has furnished them a clue OF
much value. The police have so far
kept secret the name Of the second
