STANDARD INVADEs
COAL FIELDS

Pittsbzurg, Pa, Feb. "a gigan-
tic fight between the Standard Oil
Company and the PENNSYLVANIA rail
roads transportation combine will
be precipitated within the next
twelve months by the invasion 81 the
West Virginia coal fields with rail-
road built exclusively with money
furnished BY the Standard Oil group
of financiers.
This attempt Of II. II. Rogers aud
his associates to reap part oil the
double harvest, of coal mining ana
transportation BY means Of the Deep
water and 1'idewatef railroads. and
at Che same time nnllify the carufal-
ly formed agreements Of the Penn
lsylrania's bituniinous coal transpor-
tation trust, will be bitterly fought
fly Cassatt and his satellites. I'm
less the improbable happens and the
Rogers road is permitted a fat share
of the soft coal bonanza, practically
upon its own terms, the war will DC
waged to a finish.
These facts were made known in
Pittsburg yesterday by a former of-
| lficef Of both the 1'idewatef and the
Deepwater railroads, who was in-
strumental in laying plans for the
! trunk line from the Atlantic sea-
board to the heart Of the West Eir-
lginia coal region, and who left the
service of these roads six months
ago. His statements. he saws. are
founded ON facts that were disclosed
lat conference with the engineering
Yplans Of the roads we're being dis
cussed.
The backing and purpose Of the
| Deepwater and 1'idewater railroads
was first disclosed in Piftsbure
Through an inadvertent admission
Ilnade BY representative Of the
Standard Oh Company, who il close
to Mr.. Rogers, hut not until yestef.
tdav was it disclosed that the secrecy
observed in acquiring rights Of way
and coal lands, and the care taken
not to let outside interests into The
iproieet, was all with the design 81
letting the Standard Oil capital
make its first large essay at coal min
ing in the very heart Of the territory
which the Pennsylvania believed il
1had closed to all but itself and iii

TOTAL ECLIPSE
Of THE MOON
TOOK PLACE

The total eclipse of the moon oc-

weather conditions for viewing it
were perfect. The slight fog Of the
earlier part Of the evening disappear
ed and Luna had clear stage Cor
her Transformation act. 1t was
worth staying up to see, as it is not
always that an eclipse can be viewed
,lndcr such excellent conditions.
The moon entered the shadow Of
the earth at seven minutes after
midnight, and was totally eclipsed
at ! .0S. For one hour and thirty
eight minutes our satellite was sail
ing through a sea Of semi-darkness.
The middle of the eclipse took place
at ] :57 a. M, central time. and the
total phase passed at 2 :46. Two
hours is about the longest time inc
moon can be totally eclipscd by Che
shadow Of the earth.
The moon rose at 6 :36 at about
the 18th degree of the constellation
of Cancer. Three minutes after 12,
inidniglrt, the moon passed the meri-
dan and seemed to be almost center
ing over this section Of the country.
From this time the moon entered
tl,a<r "a and left the shadow
Lide of it, and passed
Y degrees Of space.
WAS the moon entirely
5m the view Of those who
weSY gortunate enough to have a
clear skv above them. During The
darkest shadow it appeared like a
disc Of duh copper, and even with
a small glass one could view the
mountains and valleys Of the orb
to good advantage.
There can be no eclipse Of the
moon except when it is at OF near
the node. This eclipse took place
when the moon was IN the ascending
node.

GRAF TON men
CORRECT MISTAKE

a local paper did Messrs. Poe and
Loar, Of Grafton, a great injustice.
when it published that these gentle
men were before Unites States Com
missioner Thomas S. Spates on The
charge Of selling olemargarinc for
butter. The Telegram stated at The
time that they were before Mr..
Spates, charged with failure to de-
Istroy stamps on empty oleomargarine
boxes.
Messrs. Loar and Poe give their
explanation through the coluians Of
the Grafton Sentinel as follows, and
call to account the paper that was IN.
error about the matter
eIt is true that Messrs. l.. Il. lsoarl
and B. +. Poe, trading in Grafton
as Ioar & Poe, general merchants,
were before Commissioner Spates on.
Tuesday afternoon, but certainly not,
on the charge Of selling oleomargar-
inc for butter. The News would do
we'll to investigate the court records
before making assertions of that
kind. Messrs. Loaf and Poe we're.
before Commissioner Spates 20 ans
wer to an Indictment for NOT de-:
stroying the stamps on oleomargar-
inc boxes. They have committed 4ilo
heinous offense, nor do they fear the
outcome 0 fthe case that viii be tried
before Judge Dayton at the April
term of court in Clarksburg. This
case dates back some months and thei
facts are as follows: Last summer
d special agent Of the United States
government came through here look
Ing up any infringements Of the law
to oleomargarine. Hre
called on Loar s Poe; found Mr.,
Poe in the Office Of the store was.
shown his license for selling oleo-
margarine was shown the stamp
that the law requires placed on every
pound Of the lubricant sold was
shown tIle oleo and the manner in
which Kept and sold: asked to see
the empty boves was conducted to
the cellar by d clerk found two
boxes thrown aside on which the
stamp had not been cancelled ; agent
took Che boards containing the stamp
land then followed the Indictment.
The special agent found, we are told,
just nine other cases like this in as
many different grocery stores in
Grafton. The nine settled their
eases by compromise, paying from
tWenty.hye to fifty dollars each in
50 doing L0ar & Poe, after taking
advice from one Of the leading law
firms of the state. decided TO fight
the case, which they are now doing.
Neither Mr.. Loar or Mr.. Poe have
been required to give bond. They
were released on their agreement To-
appear before the court at its April
term. The case is similar to those
cases brought about through tue
dealer failing to destroy the stamp
on 4 cigar box when eniptied of its
contents. The firm OF Loar q Poe
is one Of the best known, most pop
ular and reliable in the city, and We
very clieerfully offer the above exs
Iplmation Of matters in giving sn
account Of which the Clarks6nrg,
llsairmont and Wheeling papers have
been badly twisted.

Two Smithfield gentlemen, a demo-
crat and republican, in speaking of
John p. Toolsen, candidate for treas.
urer on the republican ticket, agreed
that Smithtield, his home town, would
give Mr., Toolscn fully 300 plurality.
This will indicate to the people OF the
county the regard for Mr.. Toolsen
where he is best known. He is one of
the very best men Of the county,
worthy of every republican vote,
worthy of every democratic vote for
that matter, but he does expect to get
quite all OF the latter. He doesn't
have to get any of them, however, If
republicans in the county will but
vote the ticket straight.
