The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1877-11-24

NORRIS, of the Richie Gazette,
wants to know if Col. Delaplain has
any intention of running for Congress
next year, and desires Col. Ben Will
son and Hanson Good to withdraw
in his favor Wheel. Standard.
Morris is always making an ass of
himself by putting into other peoples
affairs when it isn't his turn. He
ought to know that other people are
presumed to know better how to man.
age their own affairs than he does.
We suppose that Wilson, Delaplain,
Goode and the other Democrats of
the First District will settle this little
matter to suit their own fancy and
without regard to the desires of either
the Gazette or Standard, and Morris
will continue to make himself redicu-
lous by dreaming about Uncle Davy
McGreggor and the Richie Demo-
crdt or rave about snakes in Ireland,
as be used to do. He seems uncon-
scious of the fact that his dreams re-
suit from a natural cause, and that
snakes in his boots are more likely to
occasion him immediate damage than
snakes in Ireland.

The Railroad Question.

The Railway Age, in a recent num-
Der, says it has noticed several cheap
~ built local railways, but the PENIS
boro and Harrisville, in West Virinia,
(3feet gauge, is about the cheapest
yet. The President writes us that
the whole cost of nine miles of road,
including locomotive, a passenger
car, and two gondola cars, is $50, 900,
which is an average of 1888 per mile.
The capital stock is $4,000, and the
property is mortgaged for the iron, etc.,
for $12, 900, running ten years at per
cent. The earnings amount to from
$500 to 5000 per month. and the ex-
penses to about $3.50. At this rate
the earnings are from $3.50 to $500
per month, Or say, $4,000 to $4,000
per year. The lowest figure would
pay a handsome interest on the entire
cost of the property which is what
very few railways in this or any other
country do now-a-days.-IStandard
This is encouraging for our people
mho contemplate the building
of the Castle Shannon Narrow
Gauge from Pittsburgh to this
place. There will be meeting held
}p Morgantown the 22d of this month
at which the President and Secretary
of the Castle Shannon road will be
present. Let our people turn out and
give these gentlemen fair and can
did hearing so that they may be en-
couraged in the work in which they
are engaged. dftnis road shaHbe con-
structed it will be the source of untold
wealth to the citizens of Monongalia
County.

Educational.

From Mondays Register we clip
the following paragraph, which justly
honors our County Superintendent
and the President of our University:
On Saturday we had pleasant
call from President Thompson of the
State University and Prof A. l..
Wade, Superintendent of the public
schools of Monongalia county. These
gentlemen are on trip in the interest
of education. Mr.. Wade having Just
closed session of Teachers Insti-
tute in Taylor county, where Presi-
dent Thompson also lectured and is
on his way to Tyler county where he
opens an Institute on tomorrow.
From Tyler President Thompson goes
to Richie, Wood, &C., working up an
interest in education in general and
the University in particular, wherev-
er he goes. Prof. Wade has won a
Statewide reputation as a County
Superintendent the model Super
intendent we might say--of Free
Schools. On former occasion we re
ferred to the plan adopted by him to
secure a greater efficiency on the part
of teachers and greater interest on the
part of pupils, in the schools of Mon
ongalia county. THE proof of the
pudding is in the eating" The value
ofProf. Wade's plan has borne the test
of experience. 1t is laborious plan
and need not be attempted by an ig-
norant, careless or lazy superintend-
ent. In the hands of such man it
will not thrive. While it is, like all
valuable pieces of machinery, very
simple, it needs brains, tact, and an
enthusiasm in the, cause to run it. Prof
Wade possesses all these qualities, and
therefore has made his little piece of
school machinery work as quietly,
smoothly and effectively as Corliss
engine.

Reckless Use of FirerIns, A Color.
ed Boy Fatally injured.

Grafton has just had another evil
dence of what reckless use of fire
arms leads to. A small colored boy,
in company with couple of white
boys by the names of Wallie Sands
bury and Gus. Barker, on Thursday
morning went gaming up the railroad
track, in West Grafton, and when near
Y. L. Hanley's residence, Wallie
Sandsbury shot the colored boy in the
left side, with shot gun, producing
terrible wound just over the left hip.
The charge passed through and into
the cavity of the stomach, and the
physician, DR. Thayer, after making
an examination, gave it as his opinion
that it must prove fatal. The boy was
carried to his mothers residence, in
the east end of Grafton. He gave to
reporter of this paper the following
statement of the affair:
His mother had sent him in the
morning after the clothes she was to
wash. He fell in with the two boys
named above, and went up the rail
road with them; when nearV. I. Han
ley's place, Wallie Sandsbnry said to
him-',run you s-of a-or | will
shoot YOU" He told him he would
not run: Sandsbury then loaded his
gun in his presence with powder, pa
per and shot, and then fred at him, the
load taking effect in the side. The
boys are all about Ia years of age
Grafton Sentinel.
LATER.-Since the above was put
in type We learn that young Walters
died on Saturday morning at 2
o'clock. Young Sandsbury has been
arrested and lodged in the Prunty-
town jail

49, For some weeks past the tide
of fortune has turned i'm favor of the
Russians,-in Armenia decidedly, in
Bulgaria sufficiently so to inspire hope
for the future. More decided success
es, however, must be achieved ere Eu-
rope can hope for peace. The Turks,
flushed with the victories of Plevna,
will not be likely to listen to terms till
more decided, and more crushing vic
tories are obtained than the Musco-
yite has yet won. There is little like
lihood that the campaign of 1877
will leave the relation Of the
belligerents in the field much other
wise than at present; and, in all pro-
ability another campaign will be re-
quired.
