BOAT EXCURSION POPULAR
PEOPLE ENJOY THE RIDE DOWN
THE SCENIC MoNoNGALELA
ON SUNDAY.

The excursion on the I. C. Wood.
ward last night was well patronized
and those that took the trip were we'll
satisfied with the outing. The nice
cooling breeez on the water was a
pleasant contrast to the intense heat
experienced in the city. The air was
invigorating and refreshing. Hun
dreds OF people prefer the outing on
the boat to any other afforded In the
city and each Sunday evening the
popular boat is crowded.
1t is gratifying to the stockholders
OF the packed company to know that
last week was the banner week OF the
year. The passenger traffic and
freight traffic both were better than
any previous week Of the year. The
quick service and cheap rates are fac
tors that are winning trade for the
boat.

braska will be held. The campaign
for nominations on the Republican
and Democratic tickets has been splr-
tied, and the candidates numerous.
The temperance issue as involved In
the proposition to substitute county
option for the present local option law
has split both parties and the sltua-
tion has been further complicated by
Insurgency" in the Republican and
the personality OF William ]. Bryan in
the Democratic party.
Full State and county tickets are to
be nominated as well as candidates
for members OF Congress and, under
the Oregon plan" party candidates
for United States Senator to succeed

PERB SIDE SHOWS AT
THE FAIR.

Secretary John S. Scott, OF the Fair
mont Fair Association returned last
night from Cleveland where he spent
several days watching the races in the
Grand circuit. Mr.. Scott reports that
several OF the ho.semen that had
horses at Cleveland will be here at
the September meeting. The entries
for the fair this fall will be much
larger than it was last year. Those
that had large entries at the last
meeting will have larger ones this
time and the number OF stockmen
that are going to exhibit this year is
much greater than at the previous
meeting. The side attractions will be
the best that can be found. On the
Main Heading there will be a lot Of
first class shows and entertainments.
A sure enough air ship will be the
main attraction that is being given by
the management of the Fair Associa-
tion.
The country is being well billed
with heraldry of the fair. The adver-
tlslng agents have been busy all week
putting up the paper that has been
ordered by the Fair Association. 1t
will take another week to get all of
the country districts covered with ad-
vertising. The paper is very attrac-
tive and glanche at II is enough to
persuade the farmers and their iami-
lies to what is growing to &c the
greatest fair in West Virginia.

GRIEF KILLED HIM

LONDON. Aug. 15.-John Finnegan.
former orderly to Florence Nightin-
gale in hospital work in the Crimean
war, died to-day when told Of her
death. Doctors say grief killed him.
People will probably ignore her re-
quest for as imple funeral. The Eng
lish press is urging place for her in
Westminster Abbey. They may give
her public funeral with full military
honors. With the exception Of Vic
toria's death, the death OF no other
English woman produced so many
expressions OF regret. The King sent
his personal representative to her
home.

Notwithstanding the early hour in
the morning and that no special pro.
gramme for the occasion had been
prepared, large number OF the con.
'gregation OF the First Methodist Epis.
copal Church assembled on the site
of the new church at GAO this morn.

the dirt being removed by Contrac.
tors Hamilton'& Huffman, who are do.

tractors. Holbert & Spedden.
Representatives of all ages and OF
all classes OF the church work were
present. The wide range being from
the age OF Mrs. Mary Hennen to that
Of little Miss Sarah Elizabeth Evans.
All present contributed to the work OF
filling the first wagon. but more es.
pecially did the children OF the Sun.
day School participate in the work.
Miss Ruth Hamilton has the dlstinc-
tion OF removing the first shovel oil
dirt as the representative. Of the chill
dren. All entered into the spirit OF
the occasion with enthusiasm which
characterizes the whole congregation
in this new enterprise. .
This congregation Is to be congrat.
ulated upon its activity in providing
for the need OF Its large and growing
membership. Not only will the
church be an ornament to Fairmont
avenue. but II will be modern In all
its appointments. The lot on which
the new building and parsonage is be-
ing built. fronts 1876 feet on Falrmont
avenue, and extends back to the alley.
The present contract OF $4,000 does
not include art glass, decorating, heat
ing and ventllating. organ and furnl-
ture. These necessarily will bring the
expenditure to seventy-fiye thousand
dollars when completed for dedlca-
ton. Based on the prices OF adjoin.
ing grounds, the lot has value OF
$25.OOO which with the cost OF the
buildings now contracted and fixtures
and decorations will represent one
hundred thousand dollars expended.
This liberal expenditure for the cause
OF the church is indeed commendablc
IN our Methodist Episcopal people.

IN BALTIMORE SUN CONNECTS
MARY SCOTT CHARLTON WITH
MURDER IN MARYLAND.

BALTIMORE, Nd. Aug. 15.-The
Sun to-day prints a sensational story
linking the murders OF Edith May
Thompson Woodill, June, 1909, and
Mary Scott Castle Charlton, at Lake
Como, and suggests the possibility of
Mrs. Charlton as the one Lame Bob"
Eastman referred toin q letter as the
slayer OF Mrs. Woodill. 1t is stated
that residents OF Talbot sounty,
Maryland, recognized the pictures as
the couple seen with Eastman before
the bungalow murder. The Sun says
with all dead except Charlton he only
can clear up the stories. Charlton
was working in a New York bank in
June, '09. The Sun says 1t Is posi-
BILE he might have taken a vacation,
gone to st. Michaels, Nd, where the
Woodill murder occurred and there
first met Mrs. Castle. 1t says this is
plausible as Charlton visited st. Mich.
aels four or FIVE times annually.

lEcTING ASSESSMENT OF FIVE
PER CENT TO PAY OFF GRAD
ING BILLS ACCORDING TO CON.
TRACT.

Mr.. w. J. Weigle, assistant secre-
tary OF the Fairmont Board OF Trade,
is busy collecting the five per cent as
sessment made by the board for the
nurpose Of paying OF the grading bills
for the new factory for the Monongah
Glass factory. 1t was the agreement
that the board Of trade would pay for
the grading for the. new plant. The
grading cost about eight hundred dol
lars and by this small expenditure an
additional plant has been erected and
almost ready for operation costing the
company between SIS, 200 and 500. 900.
The board by collecting the assess
ment or what has not been paid will
have plenty Of money to pay OF this
Indebtedness and start with a clean
board. There are few propositions
that the board OF trade could put in
so little money and get so much as 1t
did from the Monongah Glass Com
pany.
The Monongah Glass Company will
have In its factory here the largest
one OF its kind In the United States.
Under the successful management of
the plant 1t is kept in operation the
entire year. The business has grown
because the superior quality OF ware
has given the production OF the fac
tory reputation that sells itself. The
orders that come to the local plant
are large and they come from all parts
Of the country.
Tile factory will employ about 1000
people when it gets in fun operation.

sTRucTion WILL HAVE PLANT
READY FOR FIRES TO BE LIGHT

PLAN.
'MANY NEW HOUSES NEEDED.
CONSTRUCTION OF REMAINDER
OF BIG FACTORY WILL BE CAR
RIED ON WHILE FIRST SECTION
is IN OPERATION TURNING OUT
MANUFACTURED PRODUCT.

The president OF the Owens Bottle
Machine Company, who is now In Eu-
rope. hoped to hear the message on
the first day of September: "Falrmont
plant In operation" This is the cable
gram that he wanted TO hear best Of
all. General Manager King, who is
looking after the work here Is push.
Ing tho construction along with all
the, possible speed at his command. It
is now decided to place fires in the
part OF the factory that is now about
completed on the first day OF Septem-
ber. The manufacture OF ware will
be carried on and the construction OF
the other part of the factory will be
carried on at the same time. There
is an immense amount Of work yet
to be done before the plant is brought
up TO the contemplation of the men
that are behind the project. These
men for generations back were expe-
rlenced glass workers and the build
ers OF the local plant are endeavoring
TO make It a model factory In every
particular.
One serious proposition confronts
the people that will come to this
city to operate this immense plant
and that Is the lack of houses. Here
sis q problem that the real estate and
business men of the city will have to
meet The houses here at this time
are not enough to supply the families
that are here now. When there comes
i've hundred additional men TO the
city TO work the need Of houses will
be serious indeed. The building OF
houses is a good investment. The
time 10 build them is now.

ARE HANDLED HERE BY 3. AND
o. RAILROAD COMPANY
AT PRESENT.

When It is known that in the local
yards of the Baltimore and Ohio that
upwards of 10000 cars are handled
during a month one can understand
the ,congcsted condition of traffic at
times and how much the operation of
trains arc impcded by the derallment
OF freight car. During the months
Of June and July the number OF cars
handled here exceeded 10000 for
each month. This is great increase
over the number handled sfor these
months one year ago.
