APPEAL FOR FUNDS
Two Hundred and Fifty Widows,
Thousand Children In Need.

Fairmont, w Va, Dec. 1.-THE PSF
manent relief committee, headed by
Governor Dawson, to provide for the
widows and orphans of $50 miners
killed by the recent explosion at tsc
mines of the Fairmont Coal company
at Monogah, prepared an appeal for
funds that is being sent to chambers
of commerce and kindred organiZa-
lions all over the country.
All newspapers are urged to aid the
work by receiving contributions, &C
knowledging through their columns
and sending to the treasurer. Con-
tributions OF clothes, toys for the or
phans for Christmas time and similar
donations are to be sent W. H..
Moore, mayor of Monongah, as chair
man of the committee looking after
the temporary wants Of the victims.
The appeal says:
"Monongah is a mining town Of
about 5000 inhabitants. This disaster
has destroyed almost half of the bread
winners. The other half IS composed
of the employees of two other mines
OF the same company and of the usual
stores which go to make up mining
community.
Fully $50 widows and 1000 chill
dren are left without any means Of
support Most of the families live
in the company houses at MOnon gah.
The company has generously declared
that the families occupying its houses
may remain until other provision is
made for them.
MANY of the resident families will
want to return to their relatives in
their native countries in Europe. The
other residents families must seek a
community in which they can earn a
| livelihood.
aid must be given these families
| to hearch their new abodes and to
help them establish themselves.
"As near as can be determined at
| this time almost $4,000 from all
sources has been subscribed. On the
! basis of $500 for each widow and
| 500 for each child under sixteen years
| of age s175.000 will be required. At
least $4,000 will be necessary to pro-
vide on relatively the same basis for
the aged dependents of the unmarried
victims and the many now unborn
children"

INTER-URBAN RAILWAY.

The construction and operation of an
inter-urban railway was discussed at a
meeting held last night at the head
quarters of the Progressive League, PA
Milan street. The project originated
with Mr.. Sam Guy, one of the enter
prising citizens of Shreveport. He pro-
poses to organize stock company with
working capital of $4,000. He is con-
hdent of the success of this enterprise
and has the assurance of substantial
financial aid from abroad. 1t is proposed
to operate the. line from Shreveport to
Marshall, Texas. The money desired is
to complete the preliminary work. The
proposition is viewed favorably.

AS most farmers in New York state
know, the grange was the most ardent
opponent of the barge canal approprla-
ton. 1t appears from the supplements
ry report of the executive committee
and from an address made before the
state grange meeting by the Hon. John
7. Platt of Poughkeepsie that steps are
about to be taken to test the constitu-
tionality of the canal act which was
approved by majority of the popular
vote ut the last election. Mr.. Platt said
he believed the people of the state OF
New York never gave Il majority in
favor of the barge canal proposition, a
fact which he had never before public
ly stated. He made the assertion and
the accusation that the great majority
for the measure in New York city was
the grossest fraud ever perpetrated in
any election in any northern state.
.'They would have us believe" he said,
that there We're more votes east on
the barge canal proposition than for
the office of mayor. In Il single district
in New York city there were more
votes cast on the barge canal measure
than for all the candidates for mayor
on the city ticket combined. But even
if the question was carried by the
large majority accorded 1t. the question
still arises, Is the act constitutional?
The best legal talent in the state says
it is unconstitutional, and | refer to
Elhu Root, Joseph Choate, Judge An
drews and Judge Cady. Now, we do
not expect the state grange to con-
tribute large amount toward the ex-
penses of the appeal, but we do want
its backing" The grange voted to ap-

NEW OFFICERS
 FIRST ARREST
Bisbee Constable Has . Warm Time in Trying to Pinch His First Victim Man Slugged Him as He Was Being Taken to Jail.

That the road which the new office. holders have to travel is not strewn with roses until they get onto the ropes is evident from some of the experiences through which several of those who re- ceived the majority of the popular suf- frsges at the last election passed yes terday, says the Bisbee Review.
 The first one to be initiated into the "stunts" of his new job was Constable Donnie Twomey. The new officer was walking up Brewery avenue when he saw about a dozen men engaged in the ungentlemanly avocation of beating up a fellow weighing about l30 pounds.
 The constable, being kind-hearted felt sorry for the under dog, and talk ing him by the arm, advised him to go his way and sin no more, but the off cer only received heap of abuse for his trouble, and as soon as he turned his back the embryo John l.. Sullivan went back to be beaten up some more. The fellow was receiving generous amount of punishment when the eff eer again came up, and Twomey de cided that the ambitious pugilist would be better off in jail. The constable extended an invitation to the fellow to accompany him, which was accepted, and the two started down the street together. Twomey is very retiring fellow, and not caring to hurt the pris oner's feelings by letting everyone see that he was under arrest, did not use the handcuffs, but simply walked along beside the man in friendly way. Just as the two turned the corner at the Bank of Bisbee to go up Main street to the jail, the pugilist turned loose right swing which landed on the officer 8 jaw and put him down. Twomey recovered quickly and had his man on his knees begging for mercy in few seconds, and then took him to jail In explaining the incident afterwards the constable stated that hereafter a man whom he arrested would have to show a eertifi cate of being gentleman, otherwise he would be handcuffed.

MORALES MAKES PROTEST
Wants Railroad Direct from Cananea

The citizens of Nogales, Sonora and Arizona, are much disturbed over the prospect of railroad connections being made between Cananea and Imuris di- rect. As result the business men of the towns have proffered to the railroad cash and ground amounting in value to bonus of $l0O,O0O if they will build the new line from Cananea to Nogales, Sonora, direct, instead of to Imuris
 What the outcome will be is vet i'm. possible to say. The Nogales people base their activity on the ground that line from Cananea to Imuris would ake large amount of business from No. gales hat now goes to that point. turn ing it over to Magdalena and other points. Cananea would of course ben. efit more from the line direct to Imuris than from line to Nogales and the local feeling is consequently highly fa- Vorable to the construction of the exten. sion by way of Cocospera to Imuris along the line of the survey as now being made.-Cananea Herald.
