5 Pi I II II LY TOP it IT iiUa Entered May 22nd, 1880, at Monongahela, as Second Class Matter, Under the Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. MONONGAHELA TUESDAY. DECEMBER 9. 1913J ONECENT SIXTY-SEVENTH YEAR NO. 170 New Mill May jnners are Miners Voting For Sunday School In Business Course May Officers District Judgment Awarded In Walker Suit ftaiaima Bank Closes Temporarily Announced in io-is-Whn The Farmers and Miners Bank of Marianna yesterday suspended business temporarily and closed its doors.

Mr. McBurney a bank examiner is in charge at present and will look after the affairs until a receiver is appointed. He stated today that the affairs of the bank were in good shape and that the shut down would only be temporary and that the depositors would likely receive their deposits dollar for dollar. The crisi8 was brought about by the financial difficulty in which the Jones interests have been involved, and a receiver appointed for the various interests. Good Crowd Present A large and interested crowd greeted W.

Theo. Wittman last evening in school hall at which time the speaker delivered a very iustructive address on poultry aided by stereopticon views. chicken fanciers were preseit last evening and there was a very sin cere interest manifested. Mr Wittman when he appeared in this city some time ago did not have his stereopticon machine. Last evening the views aided much ia assisting the speaker and his audience.

He showed views of scenes he had met with during his journey over the state of Pennsylvania and scenes of many farms and diffiernt styles of chicken houses were shown. Plans of chicken houses were shown and the ideas of many architects of chicken houses were thrown on the screen. The construction ot nouses was clearly shown and dimensions and arrangements of exterior and interior were very plainly defined. These views showed how to build a house to get the best results. A feature shown and described was a plan of a chicken house drawn after Mr.

Wittmans' idea. The speaker gave a talk on chickens, how to feed them and about their feed. He told how to get best results and talked for some time about eggs and numerous other things pertaining to poultry. At all times was the address very interesting ana many questions were put by the audience and promptly answered by Mr. Wittman.

He is quite an authority being in the employ of the state in poultry departments and he will ever be a welcome speaker in Monongahela. Mr. Wittman ppeared under the auspices of the Fanciers club. Be The curriculum of the Monongahela high school may be changed after the first of the new year, by the addition of a two year commercial course. The four year term high school will not be changed materially but it will be op tional with the scholar as to whether they finish the high school term or else take the two year commercial course.

While the matter is still in embryo yet a committee composed of C. H. Landefeld, C. E. Stephens, and Prof.

Dean have the matter under advisement and will likely report favorable to the board at its next meeting. Twelve typewriters have already been ordered and the committee are now looking for suitable rooms for the installation' of the new course of study, and the employment of a qualified instructor. It is probable that rooms will be fitted up in one of our local school buildings, and this innovation installed. Charleroi and Donora have already adopted this course of study and it has met with much favor both among the students and the patrons. It really means a saving of two years to many young men and women in an educational way.

Only about 40 per cent of the high school graduates enter college, and in thiB way it will fit those who do not elect to attend college to enter the business world without putting in any additional time at one of the business colleges besides saving the additional tuition fee. The studies would include bookkeeping, stenography and typewriting, in fact a regular course as taught in many of our commercial colleges. The school board is to be commended for this advanced step and it will probably meet with the hearty approbation of all the patrons. Looal Hews Notes Mr. and Mrs.

Mary O'Ehrle, of Letonia, Ohio, were week end visitors with Mrs. M. S. O'Ehrle and son Scott Bath robes, McGregor's. adv.

Christmas lost ae stitute Tomorrow Th moat difficult deDartment of the Sundav School work is to be discussed tomorrow at the Sunday School Institute of Monongahela District at the Presbyterian Church beginning at 2:00 o'clock. The problems are perhaps not more difficult than others that are successfully dealt with, but the reason the schools have not been more successful in dealing with the adolescent is because the workers have failed to make a thorough study of the situation. Ti purpose of this Institute is to give the leaders an insight into some phases of adolescent life. Parents as well as teachers and superintendents of the Sunday School are urged to attend.

The first speaker on the program will be Mr. E. E. Bach of Ellsworth on "The Relation of the Sunday School to the Social Life of the Teen Age Pupil." Rev. G.

G. Kerr of Canonsburg will address the Institute on "Reaching and Holding the Boys and Girls in the Teen Age." Opportunity will be given tor discussion of all of the subjects presented. Every person in any way interested in the boys and girls of our community should hear Prof. Thompson in the evening. Religious Debate A religious debate is being held in Taggart's hall, Bellevernon, this week.

The debaters are Alexander erry, of Monongahela, President of the Church of Jesus Christ, affirmative, and A. M. McVey, of Bellevernon, evangelist of the Church of Christ, negative. The first proposition to be discussed is Resolved, That Joseph Smith is a Prophet of God in bringing forth and translating the Book of Morman, which is of divine origin, also the restoration of the gospel. The second question, is that "The Church of Jesus Christ is in harmony with the new testament scriptures in name, faith, doctrine, organization, practice and experience." In the third question Rev.

McVey takes the affirmative and Elder Cherry the negative and is a reversal of the second question, as follows, "That the Church of Christ is in harmony with tk (natatMAVtf 5t nam a fulfil Arf- LAIC UCn bCSbaiiivitli naiiiV ioiui uvv trine and practice."

Mr. Barber when interviewed by a Daily man talked some on the plans of several buildings the company will build here.

He was very reserved in the in terview yet his few words were of a promising nature. This morning the Monongahela Saw and planning mill be gan work on a modern barn to be built for the Black Diamond mine. Some time ago the old barn burned to the ground at this point and the new one will take its place. The new stable will be modern in every respect and will be a very large one.

Mr. Barber also stated that work would likely start soon on a fine new planing mill to take the place of the one destroyed by fire some time ago. The new mill will be built on the site of the old one, at the foot of Fifth street and will likely be a brick structure and modern in every respect.

heavy Underwear 1850 Penna. In common pleas court yesterday R. W. Irwin of the law firm of Irwin Wil- ley, made a motion to have continued the suits on the trial list against the Pittsburgh- Buffalo Co. The grounds laid for the continuances was the fact that the Pittsburgh- Buffalo Co.

had on Saturday af ernoon gone into the hands of a receiver. Attorney Irwin held that under the order of Judge Buffington of the United States court, made irl appointing the receiver, he was restrained from going ahead with the action. Judge Mcllvaine ruled the injunction order of the U. S. court did not apply in this instance Judge Mcllvaine suggested, however to the counsel for the plaintiffs in the other action that if they did go ahead with their suits, and obtained judgement they could not share in the distribution made by a receiver that they would have to obtain their judgement out of what was The court remarked that the plaintiffs might have to prove their claim over again.

The suit of James W. Walker etal, executors of the the late S. G. Walker, against the Pittsburg- Buffalo Co. was listed for trial yesterday and A.

M. Linn, counsel for the plaintiffs insisted on going ahead with the action. The counsel in other actions on the trial list also objected to the continuance. The court, therefore did not grant Attorney Irwin's motion. The counsel for the plaintiffs held that they would rather have the actions disposed of and take the chance of getting satisfaction on judgments they might secure.

The Walker suit was called before Judge Mcllvaine at 1 o'clock. It was a claim for about $165,000, alleged due the estate of S. G. Walker under a certain agreement with the Pittsburgh Buffalo Co. whereby a large Coal tract in East t'ike Run township was sold.

The original sum due was $215, 000. It was to be paid in installments. Part of these installments were paid. It was claimed the coal company had made default in other installments and that therefore the entire balance was due. There appeared to be no dispute that the coal company had made default in its installments under the agreement with S.

G. Walker. Upon binding instructions the jury found for the plaintiff in the sum of $13,324.16 with interest on $143,5000 from June 1, 1912. G. A.
