STEEL PUNT TO
RESUME OPERATIONS
In Near Future Is What
the Catlettsburg Tribune
Man Hears.
There is what seems to be a
well founded rumor to the effect
that operations are to be resumed
at the plant of the Independent
Steel Company at Kenova, right
away, one report stating that on
Wednesday next, the works will
be operated. We are unable to
have the rumor confirmed, but it
seems to be well founded, and it
is to be hoped that it is correct.
There are a Dumber of the
former employes of the concern
who have been practically idle for
some time, awaiting the resump
tion of operations and should it
be true that the works are to go as
above stated, it will certainly be a
most welcome affair to these men,
some of them having families to
maintain.—('atlettsburg Tribune,

LYNCHING WAS
NARROWLY AVERTED^
Tucker County Man As*
saults Young Girl and
Brother.
Elkins, W. Va., July 11.—A
heiuous crime was attempted, a
murder probably committed and a
lyucbiug uarrowly averted a short

a criminal assault upon his em

injured the boy, is now, after a
sensational and thrilling man*
huut, in the hands of the Tucker

Yesterday evening, shortly be
fore supper-time, the eleveu-ye«r
old daughter of Mr. Corbin, a
painter, whose home is at Carr’s
Crossing, about two miles from
Jeunlugstou, was sent to the
spring, some three hundred yards
from the house, by her mother to
bring some water for supper
When the little girl had reached
the spring and was leauing over
on her hands and knees Glling
the pail, she was seized by an
assailant, whose identity was laf
er discovered to be Floyd Hel

EXCERPTS FROM SERMON
Delivered at Washlogton
Church, Near Ceredo, by
llev. J. G. Owen.

the setting of our story we
Oitisl go buck m thought to K.lcu—
to uio*; beautiful spot in all of
God's erCGilwf } wb®r<» the iruit
hung fioui the t/ftldtritf bough* like*
gems sparkling in tiifl eui.shine;
where the lawn rested peacefully
and the liou reclined in bjaers of
roses; where the hills wer? festaoned
iu beauty and ten thousand billowy
tendri s of tangled loveliness waved
in the glorious sunshine ot' an un
ceasing springtime, it was here
dwi.lt Adam aud Eve. It was here
that Sa'aa tirst tempted man and
sin entered tne wor'd. You re
member bow Satan came to Eve
and tempted her to eat of the for
biddou fruit. He told her *ye shall
be like gods,’ and Evr, because she
desired to be like a god, di leal.
Men and women have alw&)8 de
sired to be like someone e!s> ; they
are continually seeking some ex
ample after which to lashiou their
lives, and I thank God tonight that
almost two thousand years ago lie
gave us a pattern which, if we fol
low’, will make us a blessing to
mankind aud bring us at last into
eternal peace and joy. I ilu.uk
God tonight for Ills Son Jesus
Christ whom He gave to be a pat
tern for you and for me. We need
KKV. J. O. OWR.V.
desire to be like no oilier Christ.
Sin made cowerds of Adam and
Eve, just as it makes cowards of
men and women today. After Eve
had eaten and had tempted Adam,
and he too had fallen, then (tod
came to the garden. We are told
their eyes were opened’ ami when
Jehovah came they ran and hid.
They sought to hide themselves
from Him because they knew they
had sinned. Sin had made cowards
of them, and friends, sin makes
cowards of every man and every
woman that it gets in its clutches
today. Sin cannot endure the gaze
of purity. The sinner cannot look
the innocent man in the eye. The
story u told of Lincoln, I believe,
how that one day coming down the
steps of the Capitol building he
noticed a man lurking in the shadow.
He walked directly toward the
man, looking him straight in the
face, as nearer and nearer he got. At
last he fled. Next day it was dis
covered that he had been placed
there to bring that good man to his
death, but when the innocent and
pure man had gazed into his eyes
he was unable to bear it—his sin
made him a coward, and he had
tied. friends, it innocent man
connot bear the gaze of innocent
man, how shall the sinner ever
stand the gaze of Almighty (Jod
and Christ, the very incarnation of
purity, on that day when we arc
called before the judgment bar?
Sin makes cowards of us. Will
you face your (.Jod a trembling
coward on that day? (Jod help
you to deride now.”
Later Mr. Owen said: “Hut
Kvc did not sin alone; sin made her
a corrupter of others and ‘she gave
to her husband/ Sin made the
sinner a corrupter of others. So it
does today, the sinner is always a
corrupter of the innocent ones
about him. Fathers and mothers,
are the lives you arc living corrupt
ing your children? Young men and
young women, are you living a life
that is corrupting those about you?
A few years ago, in one of our
eastern cities, a great revival was
going on. The evangelist had plead
| long and earnestly for souls. One
| night, after the service, he spoke to
■ a man who seemed to be bearing a
(ln‘*\y burden. Ho askul ihe man,
‘Frieud, don't you waul tj go to
lleavcn?’ The ai s wer came back
w ith emphasis, ‘No, 1 am going to
(Hell; 1 had t wo tirte sous yiats agn,
| but bv inv sin 1 corrupted them,
{and they lead i.es of mu until a
1 short time ago, they del. I know
they are ia Hill tonight, aid 1
know that I, thiir father, Ka 1 them
to it by my lif*', ai.d I imot sb.uO
itirttl'.y with them.' Oh, the agony
ot the soul that knows that by its
life of pin it has caused loVid » no*
lo .‘pend vtom ty i.i luo depths of
dark tic;*,”
Again Mr, Owen said: ‘-Tin
ead thing about sip; my frit tid*, is
this—that the slutiet ejfinot suff.r
alone for his pin. lvbe §:.(! thing 1*
that his loved oiks and friends
must Buffer with Li.a. Eve did not
puffer alone, but made Adam sin
and suffer. Then it went on and
Cain slew Abel and tl.ey suffered
You know how Achan sinned—he
•*aw .be liibyloniph garment and the
piber, he coveted them and he look
them contrary to God's will. Did
Achan suffer alone for his sin? We
are told that they took Achan and
his wife and family, and all tha.
be had, and stoned them and burned
them. The sad thing of it was
that Achan could not suffer alone.
Go with me lo the home where
the shades are drawn and stand
with me in the twilight about the
hearth of that home and pee the
loving wile, with her child at her
nine, weeping as though her heart
would break, mourning for the
husband who 1 ad committed a sin,
and must spend his life iu imprison
ment. Is he suffi ring alone? llis
luvid oues suffer with him. Go to
the homo from w hich the sou or
daughter have goue astray and
wandered into sin. Sit at evening
with the gray-haired, heart broken,
weeping mother and see the answer
of the question ‘Do men suffer
alone for their sin?’
Friend, your influence tonight is
counting for something; it is either
tor good or evil. If you are a sin
ner, sin will make a coward of you
If \ou are a sinner, sin will make
you a corrupter of those about you.
\ on w ill not suffer for your sin
alone. Tonight you are either
leading those about you down into
the depths of darkness or yon are
leading them to the light. Where
is your influence tonight? What i*
your stand now? ‘I pleaded for
time to be given. Is it bard to de
cide? It will not seem so hard »n
Heaven to have followed the steps
of your guide. Wil! you escape the
effects of sin? God help you to
decide now.”

Glass workers Met Death
on the Ohio River
Division.
Wheeling, W. Va., July 12.—A
shocking double tragedy occurred
last evening at 8:45 o’clock, when
John McDonald and James Clark,
two well known local glass work- \
ers, were ground to death beneath
the wheels of Ohio River train
No. 702. There were no eye wit
nesses to the tragedy but from the
testimony of persons who saw the
two meu just a few seconds before
they had started to cross the track
at a point on Water street about
midway between Twenty-third
and Twenty-fourth streets.
Train No. 702 was going east
and passed a train going west
near the scene of the tragedy.
FeeliDg a slight shock, Engineer
J. S. Miller looked out and saw
what appeared to be the form of &
man lying at the side of the traok.
He brought the train to a stop
and a short search revealed to the
eyes of the horrified trainmen
two mangled human bodies.
