A JUST APPROPRIATION.

\ Jl 81 APIROl' IA lON.
The County Court last Friday
made conditional appropriation
of 500 for the purpose of erecting
tower on the Court House for
the town clock for which the citi-
zens of Pennington are raising a
fund. The amount to be raised by
the people of Pennington is in the
neighborhood of 81 600, and about
$500 of this is now in sight, the
greater part of it on deposit IN
bank. A town clock, if not an
actual necessity, would be great
convenience not only to the town
but to people from all parts of the
county visiting the county seat.
The tower for the clock to be
placed on the Court House, and
for which the Court has made a
conditional appropriation Of 800,
will add materially to the archltec
tural appearance of that building,
a matter in which all Onr people
ought to feel interested; for the
appearance OF a county's buildings
aud institutions is an index to the
public spiritcdness Of the people
aud their progress.
There may be some objection to
the Courts action in this matter
by those who may mistakenly re-
gard the appropriation as one for
the benefit of Pennington alone,
and to offset such objection we will
give few facts of which they have
probably never thought
Pennington pays into the county
treasury each year from saloon Ii
censes about -. 900, of which it
gets no direct or practical benefit.
T~o-thirds of this money, or over
So, 600, goes 10 the county road
fund, and is used to improve the
public roads all over the county,
the city not getting single dollar
of it to put on its streets. The
people Of Libertyyille, or Flat
River, or Bonnie Teme, or any
other road district, may raise an
amount of money 10y private sub.
scription to improve certain piece
of road, turn it into the county
treasury. present TO the Court the
Treasurer's receipt therefor and
the Court proceeds to appropriate
a like amount to be added to it for
the improvement of that road, The
money derived from the licenses Of
Pennington S saloons goes for this
purpose; but if the citizens of
Pennington raise a private sub
scription to improve the streets of
the city, they cannot get dollar
of the money which the city con
tributes to help improve public
roads in other parts of the county
In this question of the town
clock, the citizens Of Pennington
purpose raising about 81 900, and
it is right and proper and matter
of simple justice for the County
Court to make the small apprOpri-
alton which it has made to help out
in this enterprise, and to improve
aud add to the appearance of the
county's capitol building.

Liability for Accidents.

The railroads ought to accept the
abolition of the present legal rule
which frees an employer from re

0arelessness of another employe,
Modern conditions of industry make
this unjust. 1t should be altered
The railroads will accomplish moth
ing by long legal struggle against
this change which has come in
every other civilized land and must
come in this. 1t is Il misfortune
that at a time Of great public unrest
those responsible for railroad man

WASHINGTON, Sept. TIT IS au-
thorltatively stated at the Navy De-
partment that President Roosevelt
does not contemplate the creation Of
two battleship fleets. Nor does Sec
rotary Metcalf, nor even the general
board, which Is supposed to represent
the extreme view in naval develop
ment, favor either the division Of the
present magnificent fleet under Ad-
mlral Evans command or the crea-
ton of another fleet in order that
there may be a formidable American
navy in both oceans, the Atlantic and
the Pacific.
On the contrary, 1t is regarded at
the Navy Department as better policy
to maintain one perfectly equipped
and well-drilled fleet free to move
speedily to any part of the globe at
short notice, and the present plans
contemplate the Increase Of the
strength Of the existing Atlantic fleet
from 1S to % battleships. This will
afford a command as large as can be
properly directed by any one officer,
and It will, moreover, about mark the
capacity of the ports and drydocks in
any particular section Of the world.
1t Is asserted positively at the de-
partment that there is not the least
intention of keeping the battleships

cal authorities are ON the lookout for
Andy Brewer, who escaped from the
Courthouse 1t Waynesburg Thursday
Just before sentence was passed on
him. He was last seen in West Viz.
ginla by Constable John Wade, and
1t Is thought that he is somewhere in
Monongalia county.
Brewer was arrested last spring
on the charge Of forging John Don
ley's name to check He was out
on bond until This term Of court,
when he was tried. The evidene
was SO strong against him that the
jury was out but a few minutes be-
fore a verdict of guilty was found.
In the excitement caused by the re-
turn Of the jury to the court room,
Brewer rose and quietly walked to
the door
The sealed verdict was handed to
the clerk, who prepared TO read it
to the prisoner. Upon turning, the
clerk was astonished to see that the
seat which had been occupied by the
prisoner was vacant. A general alarm
was sounded and search was start
ed at once, but Brewer made his es-
cape good.
The news Of the escape was tele.
phoned to all of the constables and
officials in Greene and Monongalla
counties. Constable John Wade kept
up a search through the afternoon
until late, when he was Brewer
skulking along fence, trying to gel
out Of sight. Wade started in pur.
suit and soon overlook Brewer. A
fight followed in which the officer
got the better Of Brewer, the latter
falling as though he has been In
jured. AS Brewer weighed more
than 23O pounds the constable was
at a loss to know what to do. He
finally decided to leave the PROSTATE
man long enough to summon help.
When help arrived there was no
Brewer in sight, only the evidences
Of the struggle between the two men
remained. Although everyone in that
neighborhood kept up a strict watch,
no sign of the fugitive was discover
ed.
Thursday night two barns, one be-
longing to Frank Watson, who testi-
fed against Brewer Thursday, and
the other belonging to Mrs. Hare, a
widow, were burned to the ground. 1t

HORDES
OFPEOPLE
COMING TO THE UNITED
STATES FROM EAST.
NEARLY 100000 CAME TO NEW
YORK DURING MONTH
OF APRIL.

The food tide of immigration to
American shores runs ceasely on, and
new high water marks for the influx
of Europe's migratory hordes are be-
ing recorded every month in the port
of New York. Already May bids fair
to far outstrip the April record, when
1873, 452 immigrants poured through the
gateway of New York into the country.
Five transatlantic liners brought in
more than 5000 Monday and officials at
Ellis Island say that there are no signs
of cessation Of this European invasion.
The wellsprings of this human
stream lie principally in middle
Europe, while a lesser current has its
source in the Scandinavian and Ger
man states. Italy, Austria, Hungary
and the lower Russias now supply
more than one-half of all the immi.
grants seeking homes in this coun-
try Every fourth alien examined at
Ellis is Italian, while every fifth new
conner is from the Austrias. A score
of years ago the headwaters of for.
eign immigration were in Ireland and
Germany. But now the source has en-.
tirely changed.
The industrial fields of the United
States still absorb the greater part
Of the foreign outpour and seven
states. Massachusetts,, Connecticut
New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania,
Illinois and Ohio, now find homes for
10 per cent of the immigrants.
