Distinguished Visitors

On last Saturday U. S. Senators
Henry G.. Davis and Frank Hereford
and Congressman B. +. Martin ar
rived in Morgantown and remained
until the evening of the next day,
stopping at the Wallace House. =
Col. Martin delivered an address to
the young gentlemen of the Univer-
sity on Saturday evening, an account
of which will be found elsewhere in
this paper.
On Sunday Messrs. Hereford and
Martin attended the NJ. f. Church
and Mr.. Davis attended the Presb,
terrain Church and expressed them
selves as well pleased with our town
and the people generally.
We have an able, energetic and in
dustrious delegation in Congress
from West Virginia, and our people
fully appreciate their worth. They
are all diligently laboring for the
completion of the improvement of the
Monongahela river and we very much
regret that they were unable, on ac-
count of the pressing duties of their
offices requiring their presence at
Washington, to visit the dam at
Hoard's Rock SO that they could sec
the vast Importance of the work.
We are largely under obligations
TO Prest. Thompson, of the Universe
ty, for this visit from our Congress
men. and we learn that Prest. T. had
arranged very interesting pro-
gramme for the reception of the dis
tinguished guests by the military
department of the University, but
that his programme was unfortunate
ly upset by the guests putting in an
appearance at an earlier period than
was anticipated. The visit, howev-
er, was the occasion of much pleas
ure and we hope the honorable gen
tlemen may be able soon to come
again,

The work or taking out coal has
been temporarily suspended at the
coal mine on account OF the ex.
trsme heat, which makes the tenn
perature Of the mine uncomfortable.
Men are now engaged in making
air chambers, and AS soon as the
proper ventilation of the mine is
Dompleted (probably about the 18th
dnstant), the work of taking out
coal will be resumed with greater
energy than ever.
The prospects, we are told, are
very flAttering. The vein in the
new shaft, which had only q width
It eight inches at the start, has de-
veloped into . width of three feet.
All the clay has run into coal. The

couraged, and are more sanguine
now than they ever have been
before. Mr.. Seibert tells US that in
= short time there will be con-
slant stream Of teams between An
aheim and the mine, hauling coal
for shipment. A contract is now
pending with certain party to bore
for the large coal vein. 1t is prob
able that the contract will be closed
In day or two.
