Prayer Service.

While the men of the city are bus.
Tightening up their lines for municiple
team work, the women are getting to-
gether for effective work along other
avenues. and this has been nowhere
so st-..kingly illustrated as it was in
the Union Mission day of prayer held
yesterday in the Presbyterian church.
a service which was conceded by the
large number OF women in attendance
to have been the greatest service of
its nature ever held in the city.
Women who slipped in for a few
minutes were unwilling to leave be-
cause of the enthusiasm and inspira.
tion present. Every church in the city,
both on the east and west side of the
river had representatives there dur
ing the day, and officers of the vari-
GUS missionary societies were present
in force. The aims andSnee<:s Of mis-
sions, both foreign and home, were dis
cussed with feeling and ability by
women who have long studied the ms
sion problem both in Fairmont and
our own country, as well as that of
other cities and lands.
The first hour of the session was
one of conservation, and it was led by
Mrs. w. S. Mayors, the president of
the City Board Of Missions. 1t was the
paramount desire of the board to

AND ALSO A WIFE
Homewood Women Have
Exciting Time With
Derangeds Man.

q
Mrs. Flossie Broomfield at Home
wood last evening had most excitink
experience when Thomas Kozube en-
tered her home without knocking and
said he had come.for supper. Not only
supper was wanted but also the daugh,
ter of the house whom he claimed was
his promised wife Following the
startling announcement he ordered
everyone in the place to vacate imme
diately as he owned the house.
There was no one. home but women
and for asmall space of time until
some one notified officers and the po-
lice arrived they. held the fort brave
ly, frightened almost out of their wits.
When the police arrives the stranger,
attempted TO jump out of the window
and officers were compelled to use
c.cbs. He dragged one officer down the
road and drontos a railroad track and
caused so much trouble that 1t was
with bresth of relief from officers
that he was atflast lodged in jail.
The man is, said to be insane and
will be brought to the court house this
afternoon.

make the day one of actual and real
tntersession, and that every need OF
missionary work should at some time
during the day be made the object of
special prayer. Not only during this
hour Of conservation, but throughout
the entire service the prayers offered
were a revelation of earnestness and
forcefulness seldom heard among az
audience of women who are generally
prone to be timid about praying in
public.
Home Mission Fields was the topic
of one hour, and splendid talks were
given by Mrs. Roy Meyers, Mrs. c. c.
Robb and Mrs. w. S. Mayors. The
local field for home missions is one OF
such extent and appeal, that women
who have cared little about the mis-.
sion subject for years, are now
stirred by the need at Fairmont's own
door step. 1t needed little listening
yesterday to bring about realization
that home missions is live topic in
the city. The presence Of trained work
ers from schools Of missions, in the
audience yesterday brought an added
interest and strength to the meeting
rs they related what they were doing
to meet the missionary needs of the
city and vicinity.

3. g. o.'s Worst Week.
Without the shadow OF a doubt this
has been the poorest car supply OF any
week in the history OF the Baltimore
and Ohio system officials of the rail
road said today. The week started
bad with 90 mines down on Monday.
ON Tuesday 125 mines were idle. Wed-
nesday the idle mines totaled PIP while
on Thursday they aggregated 1O1.
Friday there were 1877 mines idle while
today there are 1872 mines down.
High traffic officials OF the B. G. o..
system are beginning to feel that the
railroad will be hit with big def
cheney at onSe as they fear that they
cannot recover their equipment by
March /. when the railroads again go
into private ownership.
Every railroad at this stage OF the
game appears to be pulling for itself
regardless of the other. This has been
most noticeable within the past few
weeks and is growing as the date for
the return of the railroads to private
ownership nears. The way 1t stands
now the Baltimore and Ohio railroad Is
sending much more OF its equipment
OH its road than it receives on the
system from connecting lines.
