JAILER TRIED
For Assaulting Foreigner
. Who Tried to Force Way
Into Jail Building.

At press time this afternoon in
Justice Gordon court, the hearing OF
T. E. Long, county jailer, on the
charge of assaulting and beating John
Bochenski, miner of Pitcairn mines,
was in progress.
The miner attempted to force his
way into the receiving room of the
county jail yesterday afternoon
against Longs orders, and the jailer
had to knock him down to make him
desist. The miner had been in the
receiving room, having assisted in
bringing a lunatic from Pitcairn
mines TO the Jail, and went outside
to look after the horse and buggy
that had brought them there. Mr..
Long was in the jail at the time the
miner was in the receiving room, and
when he came out and saw the man
and several foreigners trying to
crowd into the room, he told them to
stay out, with the result rs stated.
The iailer did not know at the time.
1t is stated, that the foreigner had
any business in the place. The lat
ter could not speak English very well
and did not succeed in explaining the
situation to the Jailer.

MEN
ALL IN ACCORD
Bell and Independents Are
Lined UP Against Dele
gate Goodno's Bill.
my Charles Brooks smItIl.l


CHARLESTON. Jan. 26-Thc inde-
pendent and trust telephone COM
panics have finally at last found
something that they can agree on. II
is Delegate Goodness bill to compel
competing telephone companies to in
terchange business. 1t was introduce
ed in the senate by Fisher, and was in
fair way to slide along smoothly,
when bunch of telephone men
swarmed down on the CAPITAL City
yesterday. and called a halt in the
name of ''the business interests"
They demanded that they be heard,
and to give them chance TO present
their argument the bill was recon-
mitted by the senate to compittee.
Bell and Independent men are united
and fighting side by side which
is sight for gods and men in this
year of our Lord. A. C. Davis, of
Parkersburg the biggest little indie
pendent telephone man in West Vir-
ginia, is leading the independent bat
talon and the Bell has several men
all Of whom are in the leader class.
Delegate Goodno. himself telephone
man, is weakening. and disheartened.
II is his first try at legisIating. and
the prospects of fight have given
him a sinking spell. He thinks it is
all off with the bill. but he should
cheer up. it may not be. 1t is a good
bill and likely to strike the majority
Of the legislators that way.

by the installation OF the different
mains set out in the above table, the
sewerage OF the city will he conducted
into the West Fork river and Elk
creek in the same manner as hereto-
fore. 1t will be necessary to make
some disposition of the sewerage af-
ter it reaches Elk creek instead of
abandoning 1t in that creek as here
tofore. obtain this we have con-.
sidered three-foot trunk line sewer
running from the Lowndes G. gtor4
pening dam to the mouth of Ellt
creek. a distance of 10,100 feet. In.
to this trunk line all OF the main sew
ers running to Elk creek below the.
Lowndes & Chorpening dam would
empty, and all that sewerage would
be disposed of in the West Fork riy-
er at the mouth Of ELK creek. But
the committee finds that the cost Of
such trunk line would be about $4O..
400 and is too large for the city to
undertake at the present time.
The importance of disposing of this
sewerage is so great that the commit-
tee has decided upon plan to pro-
vide dams in the West Fork river and
Elk creek forming reservoirs into
which this sewerage may be collect
ed and disposed Of by flushing these
reservoirs from time to time, which
will greatly alleviate and improve
present conditions. We have had a
survey and estimate made for two
dams, one situate on the West Fork
river, opposite the West End Land
Company addition and about seven
hundred feet below the mouth of Elk
creek and to be seven feet high.
sufficient to back the water on the
river to the water works dam; and
on Elk creek to the East end OF the
'Broaddus property; the second dam
situate on Elk creek near the North
east Of the Broaddus addition to be
four feet high and sufiicient to back
the water to the Lowndes & Chorpen-
ing dam. These dams will form
sufficient reservoirs to cover any
sewerage running into Elk creek, and
they can be flushed whenever neces-
sary. These dams are estimated to.
cost seven thousand, I'VE hundred
and seventy-five dollars. The total
cost Of the improvements in sewers
above recommended by your commit
lee will be nifty thousand dollars, to-
wit:
