UP
is FIRST WARD OVER A DIVORCE
CASE WHICH IS SAID TO BE
MATURING.

The First ward Is somewhat stirred
up over a more or less sensational dl.
worse case that IS said to be maturing.
Percy Lazier, the well known painter
who married Miss Cora Cans a few
years ago, has been behaving in any
thing but husbandly manner lately
and this behavior has come to the
ears Of the wife. Percy is said to be
in Weston and cutting up at fearful
rate. He is accused of asoclaing with
a girl up in that town. Not only does
he take her driving and bestow little
attentions of like nature upon her
but they are alleged to have left the
city more than once and to have been
gone several days. Upon these and
other grounds, it is said, the petition
for a divorce is being based.

BRIDGE SOON.

MoRGANToWN, Jan. S1.-The
County Court will meet in extra session
next tuesday to take up the question
of bridge across the Monongahela.
The matter has been settled that an
election will be called, but some of the
details have not been decided upon, and
the extra session will discuss and de-
termine all the matters. The granting
Of the franchise of the Dunkard valley
trolley lfne by the city cleared the at
mosphere to a considerable extent. 1t
is now definitely known that an cleo
trio road will cross the bridge, on
terms satisfactory to the County Court,
and thereby bring the people Of the
western part Of the county directly in
to the business part of the city. The
promoters Of the -oad TO connecs Fair
mont and Morgantown announced long
ago that they would build their road as
soon as a bridge is assured to- bring
them into the city.
The County Court at its session yes
terday took up the equalizing Of coal
assessments in the four districts west
of the river. The policy heretofore
outlined by the court Is being follow
ed and there will be general ad.
vance Of the coal assessments. The
total number of tracts affected will be
several hundred. The work will be
brought to a conclusion in a short
time.

Mine LOCATED
CLOSE TO TOWN.

Many people Of Falrmont may not
be aware that within few blocks of
Main street is located a coal works with
a producing capacity sufficient to sup.
ply local consumption for years to
come. Such are the works Of the Coal
Run Fuel Company on Cherry avenue
better known as the Cherry Avenue
Coal Station. We had the pleasure OF
visiting the plant with one of the own.
ers the other day, and found It excel.
lently equipped. Besides the shaft, an
excavation eight by twelve feet tim
bred and cased to the top, Of the
Plttsburg vein Of coal at the depth Of
one hundred and twenty'six feet, there
Is boiler, hosting engine, cage and
cable, fan and fan engine, pump,
scales bin and tipple, all under one
roof The boiler is a fifty horse-pow.
er and made by the Erie Works; the
engine is of the Orr & sembower
make, Of Reading, Pa. The fan and
fan engine were made by Crawford &
Mccrimmon, Of Brazil, Ind. The cage
is raised and lowered by the means Of
a five-eighths inch wire cable running
over two sheave wheels thus increas.
ing the strength OF the cable as well
as doubling the hosting power of the
engine. All the machinery is new and
Is in first class condition.

He became abusive and returning
With a companion threatened to clean
out the place and take possession,

COAL RUN FUEL Co.
is NOW NICELY EQUIPPED

Of the ground so we stepped upon tne
cage and we were loweredinto the mine.
There we found considerable work al.
rady done, yet the headings are just
fairly begun and when finished will be
somewhat like a figure eight. The
headings will be finished before any
rooms are turned. Track and switch.
es are laid as far as the headings are
cut. The headings are dry, practically
all the water coming from the shaft
being drained into sweep which is
another heading cut to the distance
Of twenty-five feet with the dip Of the
coal and capable Of holding the water
that accumulated during the night, The
water is pumped out during the day.
The dip Of the coal is about one foot
in twelve or thirteen. {?
Owing to the depth Of this mine the
coal is Of the very best quality being
full of oil and free from sulphur and
slate. The convenience for loading
wagons are modern and splendidly
adapted to the wants Of the people.
The parties who undertook and com.
pleted this enterprise deserve to be
Congratulated for atfordlng to the
people Of Falrmont a means Of getting
such a fine quality Of coal at a point
so near the city.
Attorney Pat, M. Hoge is the princl.
pal owner Of the mine. He declines to
be interviewed, but wishes US to say
that while a considerable part Of his
time was taken up in Its construction,
hereafter he will devote himself as
much as possible to his profession. The
management Of tho mine will be left
principally to William Rainey, a skill
ed and experienced miner.

as follows on the subject:
CHARLESTON, W. va,
January 20, 1906.
Editor West Vlrginian:
l note your paragraph Of the 9th
relative to the authority Of justices
to enforce the collection Of fines un.
der the compulsory attendance law
under penalty Of commitment to jail.
1t seems to me there can be little
room for doubt on the point. Chapter
20 of the Acts Of 1904 gives the JUS
tice the authority TO impose the fine
in case of conviction, and Sec 22S
Of Chapter 50 of the Code authorizes
the commitment in these words:
when fine is imposed, whether
with or without Imprisonment, and
whether execr IN be issued under the
preceding lection or not, the Justice,
II he see fit, may adjudge the offender

BELLEvERN0N, Pa Jan, S1.-An,

gahela and his posse were here on Sat.
lrday night, a secret meeting was held
over the washington county line, five
miles out Of town. Hundreds Of for
eigners attended from points all along
the river.
Every train leaving Coal Center on
Sunday carried many Italians. and
this aroused suspicion, leading to an
investigation. The local police be-
lleve the members Of the various
bands keep in touch with what the po-
lice are doing, and consequently can
swing their meetings TO the point
least suspected. The Washington
county officers have been notified and
secret raid is being planned.
A telegram from West Newton
states that an attempt was made to
intimidate Constable August Nemecek
of suterville. This morning he found
plaeard upon his door bearing the
signs Of the "Black Hand" and the le-
gend in Italian, Remember, you must
die. The warning was left early in
the morning. Two men were seen in
the yard and the constable fired sew
eral shots as they retreated from the
premises.

months in Jail at Uniontown.
At McKeesport A. Canova, an Ital.
