NEW YORK, Oct 1-Helwen lie
Clerque, a handsome young woman
from Paris, has just arrived and will
proceed to Toronto to wed Harold
Saunders, a mining engineer of Co
bait, Ont, who wooed her with the
help of an interpreter. They met for
the first time while locked in an ele-
yator car, which had in some way
stuck fast high up in the shaft of
Eiffel Tower during a terrible thunder
storm. Seeing that the pretty young
Parisenne was frightened, Saunders
did his best to comfort her, although
he could not speak a word of French.
She appreciated his efforts, however.
and as soon as they were free from
the elevator and introduced by a mu.
tual friend, Dan Cupid got in his fine
work. Mile. lie Clerque finally con-
sented to spend the remainder of her
life endeavoring to teach her lover
the intricacies OF the French Ian.

meeting last night in the office of
Frank j. Trammell for the purpose OF
talking over the auto truck situation.
Besides Mr. Trammel the two other
members of the special committee,
namely, Mr.. John W. Dean and Mr..
II. +. Thorn were present.
They report the prospects as bright
for an up-to-date flre-fghting apara-
tus, and the canvass for subscrip-
tions just begun. Some 100-dollar
subscriptions are already in sight
and a lot of smaller ones already

The firemen have been divided into
squads and will make a sort of house

ing cards as they pass to be filled in
by the time the boys call around for

for reaching the people generally, the
majority of whom will doubtless give
something. but whether large or small
II will be appreciated The commit
tee will look after the larger subscrip-
auto fund.

LARGE NEW BARN
THREATENED BY FIRE
Straw Stack Catches Fire At D. L.
McGruder's, But Bucket Brigade
Saves Building At Kearneysville.

A large straw stack in front of Mr..
ID. l.. McGruder's barn, near Kear.
neysville. caught fire Saturday even
threatened the destruction of the barn
which is a large and new building.
Fortunately the wind was blowing
from the opposite direction, driving
the sparks away from the barn.
But the barn would have burned
down anyway but for the heroic work
of a bucket brigade formed OF people
of the neighborhood who kept the the
barn roof soaked with water, while
several spraying machines effectively
supplemented the work of the water
carriers The stack burned all night
and the men stayed at their post till
Sunday morning. That the barn and
contents were not destroyed is little
short Of miracle.

Lines of Inw0Od Company Cut
BY Trust Employees.
DASTARDLY ACT
TO GET BUSINESS
Tried TO Force the People to Use It's
Lines After Being Notified That
Contact Was csnceled--Employes
Were Seen Destroying the lnwood
Lines.

For the purpose of trying to drive
the Inwood Telephone Company out
Of business and secure their subscri.
bers, this morning the Telephone
Trust resorted to extreme measures
The employees of the trust, acting on
orders, cut the lines Of the Inwood
company, leading from Inwood to
this city, in two places.
The work was done at the toll gate,
in one instance, and in plain view of
people. The lines were also cut in
another place. This simply put the
lnwood company out of commission
so far as being able to communicate
with this city and tied up the bust
ness in general.
Following the cutting of the lines
the employees of the trust called on
several people, and inquired about
their service. When told there was
no complaint, they were asked to try
the Martinsburg lines. When the
trials were made and the line found
out of commission the people were
told that il they wanted good service
they should install Bell phone.
The men visited the home of DR..
Lefevre on the same mission but car.
ried the matter a little further. They
removed the Doctors phone and in.
stalled Bell without permission
Some time ago the Inwood company
notified the Bell company, or the trust
that its contract would be cancelled
on October /. Arrangements were
made with the Winchester for service,
and no trouble was anticipated in any
particular until the trusts employees
began cutting the lines of the Inwood
company this morning.
This act has aroused the Inwood
company to the highest pitch. The
company was not expecting to have
its lines destroyed because it refused
to transact business with the trust.
And further it did not believe that
such contemplate means would be
resorted to so the trust could falsify
or use physical force to recuperate
its losing business.
