SONG RECITAL
VERY PLEASING

The organ and song recital at
Christ Episcopal church Friday
night by Mr.. N. Strong Gilbert, Of
Trinity church, Parkersburg, and
Miss Budd, Of that city, was largely
attended and greatly appreciated by
all present. Miss Budd was very
excellent throughout and especially
in some of the first numbers and
elicted heartiest expressions Of ap-
probation. Mr.. Gilbert is a very
competent and talented organist
and rendered the various numbers
in the most highly accomplished
manner conceivable. He was cs-
pecially good in his rendition Of the
by Baptiste. Both Mr..
Gilbert and Miss Budd acquitted
themselves in such a high manner
of proficiency as TO be assured they
will be given splendid audiences,
whenever they come here, and there
is a standing bid Of welcome for
them among the many Clarksburg-
ers, who attended the recital Friday
night.

mrs. FOX COLLAPSED
WHEN SENTENCED

II there ever was a surprised man
in this world he was one Henry
Doyle, hailing originally from the
South, but more latterly from the
coal mining town of Byron, close
to this city. He came TO town this
morning and owned at the time one
five dollar bill.
Then his story begins, and here it
is; Someone told him that the Arl-
ington hotel, in Glen Elk, was "all
right" He went there and was in
structed to 90 to room No. 3. He
knocked on the door and Mrs. Anna
Fox appeared. He stated his OBJ
ject and she told him to go to an
other room until the fellow that was
with her had gone. He went into
the other room designated and went
to sleep. lie awoke when she pull
cd him around and after a time
when he felt for his money the five
case notc was missing.
He then came before Mayor Har-
mer and swore out warrant for
Mrs. Fox and Chief Scott arrested
her at the noon hour and placed her
in the county jail, The trial was
held at 1870 and after Doyle had
told his side of it. which Mrs. Fox
denied in toto, the mayor imposed a
fine Of twenty dollars and thirty
days in jail.
At this she broke down entirely
and sobbed and begged pitifully that
if the mayor had a heart he would
see that her child was cared for dur
ing her term Of Imprisonment. She
had to be supported by an officer
while enroute back to jail.
Shortly afterward was when Doyle
received his rude shock. He had
heard about tlarksDurgs reform
mayor and supposed that when he
furnished the above information
that he was making a hit with the
city's executive.
lie didn't know that the mayor
objected to male as well as female
vice. only, perhaps, there is a shade
Of difference. The mayor casually
told DOYLE that his own confession
and testimony implicated himself as
well as Mrs. Fox because the war
rant charged assembling for the pur-
pose Of prostitution. Doyle could
not see It at all. He said it was not
right. He didn't do a thing, he
said. The mayor made his some
what lighter, only assessing a ten
dollar fine and no jail sentence. He
had not cent and was sent to jail
for ten days.

girl, the only witness who can
identify the woman seen at the iso-
lated spot where the child was found
has been released from custody.
The woman suspected Of having
some connection with the crime. has

it may be that she has left the city.
1T would seem, however, that she
might remain in the city with
out fear ofN4tst or embarrassing

directed the fire chief to take the
department, in case of fire. outside
of the city as far as the hose would
reach, and that meant 1900 feet
out of the city as there was that
much hose. The mayor stated he
had no idea there was that much
hose. Councilman McAndrew, for
the sake Of the taxpayers, moved
that the fire department confine its
operations to the city. The mayor
ruled the motion out of order and
Mr.. McAndrew said he would bring
it up later in the session.
The street committee made the
following report on proposed new
work, and the same was received
and filed:

McAndrcw moved that East
Pike street be macadamizcd at once
to the extent Of $500 as provided

cussion and members from other
wards thought some Of their streets
needed attention, just as much as
East Pike street. The motion was
lost.
