men ORDERED
BACK TO WORK
In the Railroad Shops in Cum
berIand to Get Ready for
Big Opening Business.

CUMBERLAND, Nd, Feb. 2s-
Word has been received here that
nearly all of the furloughed men of
the Baltimore & ohio,> employed in
the Cumberland shops and round
houses have been called back to work
besides a number of car repairers
and others. Some of the men have
ben asked to work overtime to get
out freight locomotives, work on
which was suspended about the first
Of the year. This action of the B.
& o. is held to indicate that business
conditions in the railroad world are
rapidly bracing up. and after the
necessary time for the effects OF the
recent Industrial depression has
gone, tonnage affairs will look bright
er than they have for years.

A LOVER LOSES
ONE OF HIS EARS
As He is on the Way TO Visit
His Sweetheart and is
Lucky at That.

The railroad men are telling OF the
narrow escape of. young man named
George Carr, who resides In Ritchie
county near Cairo. and whose best
girl resides near the railroad about
five miles from Cairo.
Several evenings ago the young
man decided to call on his sweet
heart. He walked to the grade near
Cairo and there waited for a fast
freight to come along. so he could
Jump aboard and get to her home in
quick time. The freight came along
all right, but 1t was going much fast
er than the anxious lover expected.
His intention to get aboard was all
right but his Judgment was bad. He
made a grab for the handhold on
the side of car, but missed 1t, but
lit hit him on the ear and the train
crew saw him hurled down over the
bank.
Inc tram was stopped and the
crew went back to pick up the llfeless
remains, but they were agreeably dis
appointed. They found him alive,
with one ear hanging down over his
coat collar and blood streaming from
the wound. A friend happened along
in buggy, the young man was put
in 1t and he was rushed to the Office
of doctor, who sewed the ear back
in place and stopped the flow of
blood. 1t is needless TO say that his
sweetheart did not whisper in his ear
that night, and the young man has
sworn not to monkey with fast
freights hereafter.

element Over Rich Find
by Oil Well DriIIers.
S WORTH 1000 A TON
And is Pronounced Genuine
Gold Ore Efforts Made
to Lease the Land.

NEW CUMBERLAND, w. Val Feb.
2s.-The eastern section Of Hancock
county, near Arroyo. adjoining the
Pennsylvania state line. is in whIrI
Of excitement over an alleged rich
gold find. and the farmers of the
neighborhood are seeing visions OF
prosperity besides that which brought
by the oil development win not be a
marker. Efforts by SPECTATORS to.
lease lands for gold development have
been turned down by owners, who
refuse to talk business along that
line, no matter how fatterIng the in
ducements offered.
The Saw Mil Run OIL Company
had started an oil well on the Miss
Virginia Brown farm at Arroyo, and
the drill had penetrated to the depth
of about 200 feet when the bailer
was brought UP and contained a sol
Id substance, in which golden glints
were seen. Curiosity impeiled an in
vestigation and analysis. which is de-
clared to show.that the substance was
gold ore, and the small amount
brought up in the balier was declared
to be worth 81, or at the rate of
$1,000 per ton.
Following this an effort was made
by capitalists most of whom are from
Pittsburg. to lease up the terrieory.
but all offers have been turned down
by the owners of the land. who say
they will form their own company
and mine for gold. 1t is said that at
the depth 200 feet shaft mining for
gold win be entirely practicable and
not greatly expensive.

MONEY TOR new BORN
Cash Raised at Morgantown
For Monongah Sufferers
Given to Babies.

Mrs. Charles Patterson, of Morgan
town, has returned home from Mo-
nongah where she was sent few
days ago by the Monongah relief
committee to distribute the small
fund raised in Morgantown for the
women and children who suffered the
loss of husbands and fathers in the
explosion at the mines nearly three
months ago. The fund for distri6u-
ton was only $1S3.47, but 1t is be-
lieved It afforded more real relief
to the victims OF the disaster than
any fund yet distributed. Mrs. Pat
terson took the money and placed in
the tiny hands of the babies born
since the explosion. Four babies
whose fathers were killed. came into
the world the day and night preced-
Ing Mrs. Patterson's visit, and in ev-
cry one OF these homes, and in every
home where a birth had occurred
after the explosion. she left a small
sum of money for the immediate
needs of the mother and children.
