this manner that the Pennsylvania
cannot furnish its shippers with all

speaking of the general car

situation in Richmond, a Pennsylvania
official states that his road is in bet

road systems of the country and is
doing all within its power, to alieyi-
ate conditions along its road. Not
withstanding the fact that numerous
cars have been left in Richmond by
the transfer of freight at the local
freight station, these cars have III no

Local manufacturers are eagerly
looking forward TO each and every ac-
tion of the Pennsylvania which means
the new addition of freight cars on
the southwest systems, while their
demands are centering in the railroad

GREAT NEED NOW IS
OF MEN TO ASSIST
Demand for More Help and
Substantial Pledges in the
7. M. c. A. Campaign.
WEEK DISAPPOINTING ONE.
REURNS ARE BELOW THOSE OF
THE PRECEDING WEEk-TOTAL
HAS NOT YET REACHED THE
$4,000 MARK.

1t was hoped that this weeks effort
$4,000. but the week must close with
over thousand dollars less than was
raised last week. During last week
there was raised Sf.539, while this
week, with the hardest kind of work
on the part of the committees, there
was but So. 1850. With only four
teen working days the committees
must get almost $1,000 in order to get
d. G. Reids subscription.
1t seems that the canvass in Rich
mond is to go through every difficulty
that has. attended financial canvasses
all over the country. One of the OBJ
stacles confronting the committees
now is that so many people put them
off until the last week. This atti-
tude is manifestly unfair to the COM
mittee. for at the present average sub
scription Qess Mr. Reid's) there will
have to be over 500 pledges secured be-
fore the amount is secured. When it
is considered that the men on the COM
mittee must give some attention TO
their own business, it will be seen that
the task imposed is a physical impos-
sibility.
The great pressing need at this time
is men to help in the work and sub
stantial pledges.
If you can help on the work, call up
a captain and join his squad, or join
the business men and boost.
There is going to be Y. NJ. G. a.
in Richmond and you will be glad if
you have had a part in the work OF
making it possible.

ried on in the new buildings. On the
modern warehouse which will be
2OOx50 feet and will occupy a position
between the blacksmithing and foun-
dry rooms and the new office rooms.
A driveway will be run between the
blacksmithing and warerooms for the
accommodation of factory railroad
switch.
The new Offices will be the pride of
the whole factory, as they will be fit
ted up in most handsome manner.
They will run back from North E
street $50 feet along Thirteenth street.
There will be individual Offices and
for the various heads of the depart
ments. bookkeeping rooms, sales
rooms, shipping and stenographic
rooms. All will be fitted out i'll the
most elegant of Office furnishings. The
rapidly increasing business of the con-
Germ has made it necessary for the
factory to enlarge its Offices. An in
creased force of Office men will prob
ably result with the addition of the
new factory buildings.
As an evidence of the present great
ness of the local company, it has been
informed that its shipments of full car
load lots of machinery out of the city
have been more than any other local
manufacturing concern.
Just when the new buildings viii
be completed neither the contractors
nor the proprietors and managers OF
the plant are willing to predict.

innocent SUFFER FOR
YOUNG MANS CRIME
Young Wife of Randolph Ride
nour and His Father Are
Both Heart Broken.
JAIL SENTENCE WAS GIVEN.
ACCUSED PLEAD GUILTY TO THE
CHARGE OF PETIT LARCENY
AND WAS SENT TO THE couN-
TY JAIL FOR 80 DAYS.

Randolph Ridenour of Oxford. o.,
who was arrested Friday for stealing
a quantity of electrical appliances
from Clayton Hunt, of this city, was
arraigned in the city court on a charge
of petit larceny. Prosecutor Jessup
read a list of articles which Ridenour
was charged with stealing and the list
sounded like the inventory of hard
ware store. When the young man
was asked whether he is guilty he
replied that he is guilty of stealing
only a part of the things specified. On
the recommendation of Prosecutor
Jessup. who stated that Mrs. Ridenour
is not in good health: that the accus-
ed is just recovering from severe
attack of typhoid fever and that he is
in hard luck, Judge Converse assess
ed a fine of 81 and costs and thirty
days Imprisonment in the county Jail.
BY the side of Ridenour sat his
young wife, with one arm around her
husbands neck. When he entered a
plea of guilty she buried her head on
his shoulder and wept passionately. II
was a most pitiful scene and touched
the hearts even of those who are con-
sidered hardened to such scenes.
Story of the Case.
Prosecutor Jessup explained to the
court that Ridenour recently came to
this city and took up the business of in
terror wiring. Clayton Hunt engaged
him to wire his home on South Twelf.
tn street and had the necessary tools
and electrical appliances sent to the
house from Jones Brothers hardware
company. After Ridenour had com
pleted part of his work it was in
spected by Chief Miller of the fire
factory. Ridenour, who had started
to work wiring another house, pending
the inspection of the fire chief, was
informed that he would have to rewire
the Hunt home. Wednesday the
young man disappeared and SO did
nearly all the electrical appliances,
valued at about $40. 1t was learned
that he had gone to his former home
and Friday Sergeant McManus went
there and found the missing goods in
a grocery store. They were in a
cloth bag and the proprietor of the
store had been informed by young
Ridenour that his father would call
for them. Mr.. Ridenour ST., was seen
and he was in ignorance of his sons
actions. He accompanied McManus
back to Richmond. The father is heart
broken over his sons crime and has
paid Mr.. Hunt for the stolen goods.
After the trial Ridenour went to the
chiefs private Office where his devoted
wife bid him farewell. She wept bit
terly and chung to her husband until
she was gently removed SO that the
young fellow could be TAX
en- to jail.

Logansport, Ind, April 13.-"There
is more wire pulling, lobbying and
politics in a Methodist conference
than in a national political eonven-
tion,'' exclaimed a well known minister
who has charge in the Richmond
district. -One would think this a po-
litical convention to see the way some
preachers are working to get a charge
to their liking. Those who have any
influence with the presiding elders. are
certainly using it: they are leaving no
stone unturned that might assist them
in getting good berth and the elders
are buttonholed at every turn. I've
attended good many conferences. but
never have l seen more politics played
than at this conference

charges in his district. 1t is practie-
ally assured that all Richmond min
