Moore was trailed TO his hiding place

the Businesses of his native mountain de-

Barbour county authorities have been
trying to bring their man to justice, but
without avail. Finally an appeal was
made to the Wheeling police. and three
of their best men were sent to their aid
After reaching the supposed hiding place
of Moore it was seen that desperate
fight would be necessary before capture.
A hasty conference was he'd between the
detectives and the remainder of the posse
and Moore's fate was quietly decided
upon. He was coon surrounded and COM

CHURCH FUND NEEDED.
DR.. Smith Sounds Warning to S
Johns Episcopal CONGREGATION.

Declaring there is no opposition between
the pulpit and the pew. Rev. Roland Cotton
Smith. in his sermon yesterday at St.
Johns Episcopal Church, announced that
the church. owing to it's limited siz., and
the consequent limited amount that can
be derived from pew rents. must have an
endowment fund to keep up its work.
He preached from the test. "Watchman,
Tell Us Of the Night and describing
the walled cities of centuries ago. told Of
the duties of the watchmen. Rev. Mr..
Smith said the ancient watchmen on the
walls bore the same relations to the
walled-in people of the cities that the
minister bears to his church. He added
that lin all the cases the watchman must
be absolutely trusted or the entire fabric
will fall to the ground. Not only does
the watchman call out what he sees from
his position on the tower. but the people
below tell him OF their sorrows. their
griefs, their troubles and their perplexi-
ties. and they are continually seeking aid
from tho man on the tower, and the
watchman must be able to call back to
them that there is a solution for these
sorrows and trials
The clergyman said his position as
watchman warranted him in saying that
the church must have more money and
that the work could not longer be carried
on without Il.

LOSS TO GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
$2O,O 900 DAMAGES CONSIDERED
COMPARATIVELY LIGHT.
But Fire Will Be Used as Argument
to Urge Appropriation for
New Building.

Now that the smoke has cleared away
and the geological survey has had
chance to take stock of it's injuries. it is
estimated that the fire there last week
did $4,000 worth of damage to the sur
vey. exclusive of the damage to the build
ing.
The heaviest loss was in mathematlcal
Instruments This amounted to about
$4,000. Including chronometers. barom-
eters theodolites and transits and other
surveying instruments. Fortunately for
the survey, many costly Instruments were
still in the field.
The damage to the records of field work
was slight. The Office is equipped with
safes where these records are locked up
every night. safe from any fire short Of
one that would destroy the whole build
ing.
If single one Of the atlas sheets had
been destroyed it would have cntailed
an expense OF from $4,000 to $1,000. The
whole field work would have had to be
done over.
Officers of the survey congratulate
themselves on having escaped lightly
from the fire. They will doubtless use
the occurrence as an argument with Con-
gress at the coming session for an ap-
preparation for new building.
The survey has been occupying rented
quarters in the Hooe building for many
years. The building has been enlarged
and added to a number of times 1t is
not modern, and by no means f1reproof.
1t is said by the officials that the build
ing next door. occupied by the engraving
building. and a fire there would do in
comparabfy more damage.
Effort will be made to get an appropri-
alton for new building on government
land. and one capable of housing both the
survey and several allied departments.
such as the bureau of ethnology and the
reclamation service, both now occupying
