BASE BALL-The Rough and Ready
Club maintained their former record
in the game last Friday, in which
they defeated the Mountain City
Club, of Fairmont, by score of 10
to z. The Mountain Cities had a
curve pitcher, and at the end of the
second inning the score stood to 3
in their favor. Quite a number of
bets were made, but the Morgantown
boys began to bat. the curves, and
the Mountain Cities did not make
score after second inning. The
Fairmont boys would have played a
much better game, had not two Of
their club failed to come, they being
compelled to fill their places with
players who had merely come to look
on. The Mountain Cities were gen
tlemen without exception, and barr
ing some little MISUNDERSTANDING as
to the number of men to be PLAYED
the game would have passed of very
quietly, had not the umpire made
some misjudgments, to which Nthe
Morgantown boys took exception lin
a very pronounced manner. Howe9er
the game was we'll played, and FAN
mont stood her defeat we'll. We hoNe
to report return game when Fai4
mont has her full representation. WI
would also advise their umpire td
read up the latest rules, as mistakesV
made in the heat of a game some
times lead to circumstance to be de.
pIored afterward.

and speaks well of the hotel and

Two-TnTRDs of the wild lands of
West Virginia are owned by foreign
capitalists, who will not sell them at
reasonable figures, and thus impede
the development Of the State These
lands held in large tracts have been
taxed only at ten and fifteen cents
per acre. Hard working settlers
owning small tracts of land atGoin-
ing are taxed at the rate Of from So
to $40 per acre. The last Demo
cratic Legislature, in order to break
up this inequality, ordered the reas-
sessment which the republicans now
complain SO of. We want these rich
land owners to pay their share Of tax
too, and may be then they will sell
these lands at par Eagle.

The New CoMET.-A large and
brilliant comet, visible by day, has
lately been dissolved moving in close
proximy to the sun. 1t is easily seen
by the unaided eye, though, on ac-
count of its nearness to the god of
day, it will not attract for several
days the attention due to its size and
brightness. 1t is described as hav-
ing large head and two tails con-
sisting of arcs of light projecting
somewhat after the manner of the
wings of a flying bird. Observers
will from day to day find the new
comet further to the west, as it moves
in that direction from five to six de
grees daily. 1t is at present Wis
IDLE before sunrise, and in few days
it will become brilliant object in

THOSE distinguished Pennsylvania
officials, Quay and Bum, consider it i'm
proper to remain in association with
Gov. Hoyt in the care of the state and
resign their commissions. If they real
lied the qualification which it affords
the public to he rid of such servants
they would perhaps have smothered
their wrath at Gov. Hoyt's desertiOn of
them and their friends. 1t does not do
for politicians to get angry, for they are
always then indiscreet. Quay and
Bum have bad public regulations,
and if they had been calm they would
have realized that they helped Gov. IIoyt
by their reputation Of him. Men Of that
class are just the ones that the people
are in revolt against. 1t was not neces-
s.ry for them to give public assurances
of their condemnation of HOyt's letter.
That was taken for granted, because it
condemned them. Their declaration
against it only shows how badly it hurts
them.

William Barber was horribly crushed in
the elevator at the Lafayette hotel, Phila.
delphia. The unfortunate man on the day
before had been engaged to take charge
Of the elevator, which is located in the
south front of the hotel. As the ponder
GUS machine came down to the ground
floor Barber thought that something had
lodged beneath it, and he jumped out to
see what the trouble was, giving the regu-
lating rope pull to start the elevator, 50
that lie could get . sight underneath.
When the elevator began to move, fearing
that it might 60 too far up, he attempted to
jump on. AS he did so he missed his
footing and fell to the platform, with his
legs dangling out over the side. He
attempted to pull himself in. 1t was too
late, however, am. his legs we're caught
between the edge Of the platform and the
brick wall, space less than five inches
wide. With q shrek which rang through
the lower part of tho hotel tho poor vic.
tim fell over on his face, and his limbs
were crushed as the elevator continued to
move on. The terrified attendants
rushed to the rescue, but the elevator as
cended to the third floor before it could be
stepped. For distance of over thirty
feet the unfortunate mans limbs had
been squeezed between the wall and the
elevator. and when he was taken ont,
wonderful to say, he was not dead, and
has since been taken to tho Pennsylvania
hospital, where it is hoped he may re-
cover. The platform Of the elevator and
the sides of tho elevator wall were smeared
with blood, and the accident caused a
most profound sensation throughout the
hotel The victim has been until recently
a resident of New York.

BEAVER !AS A CANDIDATE.
Why He Should not be Elected.


The Philadelphia Erening Telegraph,
which has always been a leading Republi.
can newspaper, says:
Republicans arc justified in their oppo-
sition to General Beaver because of his
conspicuous incompetence. For several
months he has been publicly addressing
his fellow citizens, and during all that
time he has failed to show that he is not a
man of tho most ordinary capacity. His
addresses have been weak, foolish, contra
dictory, and without form or substance.
But while he has shown his want Of wis.
dom, thought, learning or ideas in his
speeches, tho most intelligent and useful
of the organized associations of farmers in
the commonwealth has publicly advised
tho farmers of the state to vote against
him, for the reason that his disgracefully
incompetent management of the state farm
school has proved him unfit to manage the
affairs of the government.
Republicans are justified in their opposi-
tion to General Beaver because he is not
honest.
The proof that he is not is supplied by
himself. The first resolution of the plat
form upon which he stands, and which in
his address Of acceptance he promised
would and should be supported by him,
declares 1--WE unequivocally condemn
the uss Of patronage to promote personal
