An inspector of the Z. S. Signal
Service has recently been here inves
tigating Sergt Bokel's ease. The
Sergt. is now situated somewhere on
the Atlantic Sea board. Sergt. j. j.
Mclean, Mr.. Bokers successor, is a
polished gentleman, and is highly
spoken of by members of the Faculty
and others. He will soon assume the
classes in Telegraphy and Signaling.
The Sergt is said to be fine flutist
and would make good addition to
Morgantown's musical association.

Arrc.t or Counserfei.er~.

For some time countefeit money
has been circulating rather freely in
this neighborhood, and al! attempts
to discover the whereabouts of the
counterfeiters were fruitless until
last Thursday.
Three men, named respectively
Williams, Stuehel and Campbell have
been employed as coal miners by Mr..
c. c. Craig, at his mine two miles
from Kingwood, on the Tunnelton
pike. 1t appears that these men
would dig coal and work on the farm
in the daytime, and at night would
repair to the mine and there manu-
facture the spurious coin.
They were having first-rate time,
and no doubt would have escaped de-
lection if they had conducted the af-
fair in more quiet manner. They
had employed Mrs. Blaney to do
some work for them, and paid her in
counterfeit money. She sent some of
it to Tunnelton to purchase some ar
tieles, where it was pronounced coun-
terfeit. The woman made the affair
public, and some persons sent her tc
Clarksbug to give information
Nothing further was heard of the af.
fair until Friday evening, when U
S. Marshall and two deputies arrived
at Craig's, and Immediately arrested
all three of the men, and took them
to Clarksburg. Luther Swearngen
c. c. Craig and Elisha Conley were
summoned to appear as witnesses in
the case, and left here for Clarks
burg on Friday night.
The preliminary examination ot
the prisoners was held on Saturday
and they were committed to Jail to
await the action of the Grand jury
in April.-Kingeood Argus.

SERIOUS SHOOTING AFFRAY.--A DIES.
perate fight, which might have been a
tragedy, took place about a mile below
here, on the river, near Uztown, yester-
day about eleven o'clock, between Thos.
p, Walton, Jr., youth about mines
teen years of age and a member of
very disreputable family by that name,
and James B. Watkins, a young man
of about the same age, son of Mr.. Ed.
Watkins, respectable citizen of that
locality, in which the latter was shot by
the former and rather seriously injured.
1t appears from the testimony adduced
at the examination of Walton, after the
shooting, that he { Wutton) was practi-
cling with revolver Oh the river bank.
when Charlie Watkins, brother of the
injured youth, observed him from the
opposite side Of the river ard bantering-
ly cried to him not to shoot. Walton
answered. "Give me leave and I'll shoot
at you" Young Watkins then told him
that if be would leave his revolver and
come over on that side of the river he
would whip him. Walton accepted
the challenge, bringing his revolver
with him, however, and after he came
to where Watkins was the two began
to quarrel, and words We're high, when
James Watkins came dowa the river
bank and asked his brother why he did
not click Walton, intimating that he
(James would do it. Walton then
drew his revolver and told James that
if he came toward him he would shoot
him dead. Watkins then made step
forward and Walton fired, the ball
making slight wound in the thigh of
his left leg; Watkins then
picked up a block of wood, and
Walton fired a second shot, which
entered Watkins right thigh, be-
tween his legs, passing upwards. Then
the two grappled and fell, and Walton
threw his arm around his victim, and
placing muzzle of the revolver to the
back of his neck, pulled the trigger.
This ball is still in Watkins head, DIR.
Brownfeld, who probed the wounds,
being unable to find it. Watkins broth
er, Charlie, then picked up a heavy
club and hit Walton over the eye,
knocking him off of his brother into the
water, and inficting painful wound.
This ended the combat-all the parties
having had sufficiency sfgore, Wat
kins' most serious injury is the wound
in his head, but it is rot considered
dangerous. In the afternoon Walton
was arrested by Constable Snider and
had hearing before Justice Fleming,
and in default of 81 900 bail, was placed
in the county Jail to await the action
of the next Grand Jury.-Fairmont

TAYLOR & JONES, two penitentiary
birds, were lodged in Jail here last
week, on a charge of rnhbing CARR
sons store at Pedlar's Run, few
days ago. II we are not mistaken,
they have both served terms in the
Penitentiary, and in all probability
will soon be returned to their old
quarters to try it again. Their pro-
pensities for stealing must be very
strong, as they are scarcely out Of one

Rev. Snodgrass conducted the chap
ell exercises on Monday morning.

Bishop Geo. W. Peterkin, of the
Protestant Episcopal diocese of W.
Va, lectured in the college hall, on
Saturday evening of last week on the
subject, What Constitutes True Man
liness.' The following is brief syn
opsis of his remarks.
1t is necessary for young men to
appreciate the fact that their cultiva-
tion,physically, mentally,and morally
is of interest not alone to themselves,
but to every member of society. 1t
is necessary that young men should
become manly men. 1t is difficult to
define manliness. 1t is not physical
strength or bravery. This was once
thought to be the type of manliness,
as the rank given to Her
cules, Ajax, Maximus, Cour de Lion
and others. These ideas have, how.
ever, passed away and men have now
found that strength of brain is better
than strength of muscle. Relics oil
the ancient idea still remain however
and man can now make more money
and greater name by walking SOC
miles, than by walking an upright
honest life of "thrce score years and
ten" The spread of low trashy novels
and light literature tends to foster the
same idea and young men should
shun such reading as hurtful and
pernicious. Manliness consists not
alone in mental vigor, but this plays
a large part, In moral power rests
true manliness, and character is bet
ter than brains or muscle. The SOU
is the stature of the man and by such
he should be measured What most
adorns and distinguishes a mani
Purity, self-control, patience and g
firm and unhinching adherence to
duty and right. These qualities make
a manly, unseliish man.

THERE seems to be no doubt that
the railroad will be built to Morgan
town next summer. DR.. Hays thinks,
from what he has gathered along the
route, that it will be done. Our ex-
changes from the southern portion of
the State, give encouraging reports
of his work in that direction. The
consnmmation Of this work will be
due as much to President Thompson
and DR.. Hays as to any other of the
energetic workers in the cause.

Extending the Session of the
Legislature.

About ten working days remain Of
the present session of the Legislature
We believe that none of the bills that
are regarded rs paramount in impor-
tance, and of general character has
yet been disposed Of in both houses.
Among these are the appropriation
bills, the school book bill, the Consti-
tutional amendment recognizing the
judiciary system, the bill providing
a re- assessment of lands, the tax BILL
the bill regulating the rate ofinterest,
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad bill,
the convict labor bill, with various
amendments to the road and school
laws that are insisted upon with
much tenacity, and an hundred other
measures that are regarded as of
equal Importance with those enumer-
ated, by certain sections of the
State.
If the House manifests the same
disposition to discuss bills that has
prevailed during the past part of the
session, there is scarcely any posi-
bility of all these measures being
acted upon. Indeed, there are two
of them, the judiciary and railroad
bills that will, beyond peradven
ture, occupy the remainder of the
session if nothing more is attempted,
and these, it is admitted, cannot he
passed over.
The Senate, we believe, has had tho
judiciary matter before 1t for about a
week, and although the discussions
have not been very extended on any
of its provisions, and the diversity Of
opinion far less, of course, than will
manifest itself in the House, it is still
on the Senate calendar.
We do not regard this condition of
the business Of the session as any re-
Election upon the Legislature. The
business might have been FASTENED
in some respects but not to the extent
of dsposing deliberately, or perhaps
judiciously of all the important meas
ures that have necessarily crowded
upon this session. 1t is a very gen
eral opinion among those most famil-
lar with legislative bodies, that the
period of forty-fve days is too short
for biennial sessions, and that it will
be impossible for Our Legislatures
to confne themselves to this limit
and accomplish the necessary legisla-
ton.
1t is extremely unfortunate in any
instance, and especially at this ses-
sion, that all the more important and
vital measures of legislation should
be crowded into the last days of the
term and then hurried through or
passed over for want of time. But
such a course is inevitable this SEES
sion, in view of the present condition
Of the business, unless it be the inten-
ion to extend the term considerably |
beyond the period of forty five days.
We say it would be unfortunate to
90 compelled to hurry any of these
m portant bills, but especially one of |
such character as the constitutional |
re-organizing the Judici-
Try system. If this is adopted it be-
comes part of the organic law and
cannot be repealed, patched or
amended from session to session as
occasion may require. 1t should go |
o the people without a fault, and at
he same time be of such a character
Is can bear criticism from the hust-
ngs, and demonstrate a conclusive
md commanding Improvement over
he present system. Register.

So far as we are informed, the par
ties who robbed Wilson & Hutchin-
sons store at Smithtown are still at
large On the day preceding the
robbery several suspicious parties
were seen in that vicinity and the
day following the robbery two fellows
bought railroad tickets at Fairmont
and paid for them with coppers and
nickels, large lot-of which were sto-
len from the store. These parties
and the Watton's are supposed to be
the guilty persons, though no posi-
tive evidence has been produced that
would convict them. Several faml-
lies of the Nations, who lived about
one mile below Fairment, have long
preyed upon that section Of country
and had become notorious as thieves
and general roughs. After the Smith
town robbery the citizens became so
incensed that they determined to
"clean out" the place known as Wat
tontown, and number of them pro-
ceeded to the place, set fire to the
houses and drove the inhabitants
out.
While we do not approve of such
proceedings, something must be done
to protect people from the depreda-
tions of such marauders.
We learn that some of the outcasts
have landed in this vicinity. With
their past history so well known they
will likely keep from their old tricks.
