WARDMBN NOW WITH
G[ARKSBURG TEAM
Third Baseman Leaves Butler West
Penn Outfit and is Back
With the Locals.

Connie Wardman, who has been
playing third bace position with the
Butler West Penn baseball team aud
who formerly played with the
clarksburg team, will again play
with the locals.
The president OF the Butler club
telephoned to Manager Bill Harkin.
of the Butler team last night that
he would have to release one of his
players and get into the game him
self as expenses were crawling up
too high and cut had to be made
some place. Wardman got chance
to come to the Clarksburg team be-
cause of vacancies caused by the
skipping of shortstop McGinty and
Pitcher McTighe, and he asked for
his release which was given him and
the clarksburg management engag-
ed him. He will play third base for
the local team and Simpson will
likely take the position of shortstop.

my Associated Pross.1

CHICAGO, ILL.,. Aug. 16-At a
conference here last night between
President Small. of the Telegraphers
Union of America, Secretary Russell,
President Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor, and several otn-
er labor leaders, it was decided def
nitely that there should be no strike
of railroad, teIegraphers. These OPP
orators viii be called upon shortly
to contribute to the strike fund to
the amount of 100000.
Despite the issuance of a general
strike order by President Small last
night, the situation in this city is not
materially changed today. Both
the Western Union and Postal Tele-
graph companies reported the situa-
ton steadily improving with oe-
.casional applications from strikers
for their old positions. There is
improvement in the Associated Press
service. Efforts for peace making
so far have produced no effect.

FIVE BOARDERS ARE KILLED =
WHEN THE HOUSE FALLS DOWN
RCKERT
Reconsiders His Resignation and
VIII Remain With the
b. & o. Company.

GRAFTON, Aug. 16-o. Rickert,
who resigned his position here as
division engineer of the Monongah
division about two weeks ago, will
go to Wheeling as superintendent OF
the Wheeling division instead of to
the Missouri Pacific where he was
made engineer of maintenance OF
way. After Mr.. Rickert resigned his
position here the officials at Balti-
more sent for him and tried to per-
suade him not to leave, but as they
offered him nothing better than the
position he had with the Missouri
Pacific he declined to reconsider his
resignation.
The matter hung for some time
and 1t was naturally supposed that
Mr.. Rickert would go to st. Louis
as he had first intended, but the Bal
timore & Ohio could not afford to
lose a man of his ability. He will
succeed A. w. Thompson, who has
held the position several years, hav-
ing succeeded F. r. Blazer, who went
to the Cumberland division. Mr.
Thompson has been promoted to a
position connected with the mainte-
nance of way department with head
quarters at Baltimore.
Mr.. Rickert's promotion shows the
high esteem the railroad company
held him in and their appreciation
of his ability as a railroad man, 1t
is the greatest compliment that
could be paid him.

Father Hyacinth, of the st. AIphon-
sus, Suffers From the Infirm-
tiles of Old Age.

WHEELING. Ang. 16-The many
friends of Rev Hyacinth, o. NJ,
Capuchian. an aged Catholic priest
in the monastery of st. Alphonsus,
in this city. will regret to learn that
the illness with which he is suffering
will probably prove fatal. as the at
tending physician has practically
given up all hope of his recovery.
His illness is due to the infrmi-
ties Of old age. but for months he
went, about, fighting on the attack,
until several weeks ago he was taken
suddenly, at which time he took to
his bed. and 1t is feared at this time
that he will never again be up.
For the past few days he has
been undergoing series of uncon-
scious stages, and 1T is these attacks
that are taking the vitality of the
sick clergyman.
He has host of friends in this
city who will be grieved to learn Of
his serious condition. and wish him
a recovery.

Presidents Message.

Those who were expecting some
thing new or startling in the Presi-
dents message to the 6Oth congress
will be disappointed. 1t contains
nothing he has not said heretofore,
and in many instances is not as
strongly nor succinctly stated. The
impression one receives from reading
the message is that the President is
tired; that he has passed the meri-
dian of his pyrotechnic explosions,
and is gradually calming down.
He reiterates his recommendation
for a national incorporation law, or
licensing corporations doing an inter
state business; asks further bolster
ing up of the Sherman antitrust act;
fayors an income and inheritance
tax; asks for aid to inland waterway
improvements; favOrs Myers postal
savings bank and the extension of
the parcel post; renews his request
for compulsory investigation of
strikes and lockoutS; urges again a
more elastic currency; approves of
an eight hour day, and thinks the
government should set the example;
suggests that the expenses of a presi-
Dental election be met by the gov
eminent; that the tariff on wood pulp
be repealed, and inserts the custom
airy quadrennial suggestion that the
tariff be revised after the next presi-
Dental election.
The message aroused no excite
ment either in congress or business
circles, nor will it incite any change
in conditions. Speaker Cannon who
more nearly voices the present status
Of the Republican party, in his speech
upon taking the chair indicated that
nothing would be done at this session
OF congress that would lead to an in
crease of the public debt, and what
he said was prophetic of session
devoted solely to fixing fences for
the Republican party i'll the coming
presidential campaign.

considerable attention, but it is not
so probable that any &C them will be-
come laws at this session. The
friends of the scheme for deepening
the channel of the Mississippi River
will try to inaugurate that enterprise
during the session, and, in fact, there
will be an effort looking to the sys
tematic development of all the land
waterways.
A number of resolutions of inquiry
growing out of the financial situation
will be introduced by Democratic
senator's and members in the early
session. Even now the men who do
most to formulate the policies of the
two houses are considering an adj
jOurnment of the session as early as
possible. They are using the fact
that the national conventions will
probably be held in June to influence
both Republicans and Democrats, and
the response is generally favorable
to having the session come to a close
not later than the last Of May.-BOs-
