Haymcnd warmly commended the
course taken by the children OF this

that their example might be followed
by relatives and friends generally OF

Continuing Judge Raymond said:
Some of those rejected undoubtedly
would make very good citizens, were

ICE WAS FORMED
N STILL PLACES
Annual Macedonian CAL
for the Plumber Went
Up This Morning.

Ice was discovered by many people
this morning on the streets. along the
roads, next the curbs and wherever a
bit of water had been left last night.
Windows all over the city were frost
ed heavily during the night, this dis
appearing soon after the sun csme
out today. Houses accustomed for
many months to out-of-doOr warmth
for heat grew suddenly very cold and
fires of all sorts were started in earn
est last evening. Even the coal play
ed part in the new game and many
a CRATE was opened up and the good,
old blue and rose fame darted up the
chimney from the fireplace.
Plumbers in the city say they re-
ceived the usual yearly call yesterday
for new gas stoves and new built-in
ffreplaces and new crates for coal. AS
is the custom, the calls came all at
once, keeping every one busy filling
them.
AS a result of the sales in coats anil
dresses all over the city, the streets
today present newly clad women.
Many fur coats have been sold the
past week.

At eleven o'clock Main street was
deserted looking place. A dog shifted
suspiciously at banana peel in the
gutter in front of the Watson build
ing and a very few stragglers were
gazing wide-mouthed at the giant
blackberry vine in front Of the Court
house. Clerks in the various stores
about the Jefferson street corner
were yawning and watching the clock
for lunch time.
Then on the clear frosty air there
rang out voice. Sharp and pointed
were the words, which in figurative
fashion are here set down:
'S$"";$ @@!!!'"
Another voice gave answer in these

man arena. Two gladiators Jared
forth and from the doorways Of all
the stores and office buildings a
crowd miraculously appeared. TIE
clerks no longer thought Of lunch and
the dog delightedly started yappins
back and forth across the street.
"Oooh, it's Jackie Fleming, :"
souealed the shrill voice of Watson
building stenographer.
1.-THE other one is Lafe Snider, OF
Warrington, informed another voice
In the crowd.
The battle at this point resolved
itself into rounds.
Round One.
Snider attempted left swing at
Fleming, who ducked. Snider lost his
balance when the blow was lodged
and stumbled to his knees. Fleming
evidenced his generalship by taking
advantage of Snider's position and at
tackled his rear with his infantry. Snl-
der clinched and the round ended
with the combatants doing the SHIN
mie in the gutter.
Round Two.
Both men undecided. (Flash, Flem-
ing tears his coat). Both spar about
and take position on street car track
fifteen feet apart, Both advance to-
ward each other, making menacins
gestures. Come to grips. Fleming
leads right to Snider's left eye. Blow
fell short and little damage done. Sni-
der lands telling left into Fleming's
extended front. Both sides retire a
bit, breathing heavily. Rou1d ends
with five hundred people wildly
Daeering.
Round Three.
By mutual consent combat is again
started. Have you had enough?"
asks Fleming. mo. Do you want
some more?" queries Snider. They
clinch. Tall, stern-loodng man In

More Than 200 Mines Are
Working in Northern
West Virginia,
MINERS ARE GOING BACK
Delay in Arrival Of Letter
Held Up Resumption
at Places.

More than 200 mines are at work
today in Northern West Virginia, with
Indications that more will start be-
fore the present day closes. Reports
received by the Northern West Vir-
ginia Operators Association shows
that 214 mines ane at work. Thest
mines are located on the following
railroads: Monongah division of Bal
timore l& Ohio railroad, 1875 approx
imately); Monongahela railway, IL
Morgaptown & Wheeling, 4; Western
Maryland (Elkins distrcO Q; Nor
gantown & Kingwood, IS; Coal &
Coke, 40; West Virginia Northern, g.
It is a difficult matter to tell exactly
as to the correctness Of figures due
to the shifting Of the attitude Of the
miners, who on the most part are be-
ginning to return to work. Hope Is
expressed that the men will be back
in the pits by Saturday and not later
than Monday.
Miners Returning.
1t is true that some Of the miners
have not returned to work as rapidly
as had been expected, but there is a
general alacrity to resume work among
miners and It is only matter OF a
few days when they will all return
Production will not become anything
like normal until the middle of next
week. This is due to the fact that
It vii. lrequire q few days before the
miners will put on their old form.
While the miners are not stampeding
to.wotk the gain made today over the
previous day while slight indicates
that the tendency is in the right dt-
rection.
Ask Miners To Work.
"All our available representatives
will be sent into the Morgantown dis
trict today to endeavor to put tst-men
back to work" said H. E. Peters
president of sub-district 4, Fairmont,
The miners in sub-district 4 will be
back to work in goodly numbers on
Saturday and not later than Monday
Mr.. Peters today had W;Iliam Rogers,
Fairmopt, president of the West VIf-
ginia Federation of LEJor; First Vice
President Armando Folio, Of the State

REGIONAL LOADING
SLOWLY INCREASING
Miners Are Gradually Re-
suming Their Work at
the Mines.

Regional production in the Fair
mont region on Thursday was 252
cars of coal and coke, which while
low shows decided increase over the
previous day. o. this two cars were
coke.
Production on the B. & o. and Mon
ongahela railroads will be heavier to-
day, but no marked increase in ton
mage is expected before Saturday or
Monday. However, there appears u
be a general inclination among the
miners to return to work. They rea-
son correctly that big car supply
will fatten Up their Christmas purses
and inasmuch as they are obeying
their constituted authorities-the
United Mine Workers of America
in returning to work it is expected
that they will soon again be back in
the pits.
Shipments made off the Monongah
division Of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad on Thursday were as follows:
Lakes, "a cars; Michigan points, 8
cars; Ohio points, 6 cars; miscella-
neous points, 1 car; st. Georges, 8
cars.
There were 1873 cars Of coal loaded
east yesterday and 81 cars loaded
west There were cars Of coke load
ed, both OF these loads being for the
east.
Daily Car Supply.
There are 2466 cars on the Monon-
gah division of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad today. There were 597 cars
ordered by the mines. The early
morning placement was 1860. Cars
left over from the previous day were
1887.
Today's cars are classified as fol-
lows: Open, 1856; surplus n. e, C. K,
so; surplus M. V. T., so.
Railroad Fuel.
Sixty loads of railroad fuel were
loaded on Thursday on the B. G o.
railroad. This fuel was securea
principally by the B. & o. railroad.
Three loads were from storage piles.
This Is Pay Day.
Today the Jamison Coal & Coke
company paid off their men for the
two weeks ending October 25. The
Clark interests are paying today also.
This is the heaviest pay of the year
with most of the coal companies.
Production Heavy.
Notwithstanding the strike order ef-
fective November 1, the largest out
put Of TIE year, with one exception,
is recorded by the 51ited States Ge-
illogical Survey for the week ending
Sn that date-12,142,00O net tons. The
exception was the preceding week
which final figures show to have been
the record for the year. Indeed" says
the Survey, "had it not been for the
strike curtailing the output of Satur-
day, the week of November would
have fare outstripped its predecessor.
The extraordinary efforts made by the
railroads to provide cars bore fruit in
a rate of production during the first
five days of the week, which if main
tanned for 3O4 working days Of full
time year, would yield 715,G00,0O0 net
tons. During these five days, there
fore, the soft coal mines were work
ing close to actual capacity. There
can be little doubt that the output
on Monday, October q, was the larg-
est ever attained in single day" The
output on Saturday, the first day OF
the strike, was according to the Sur
vey, the lowest Of tho year and is at
tributed to other causes as well, in
Guiding observance of All Saints Day
and the beglnulng of the hunting sea-
son.
