Died, April 18th, 1888, at her home
in Grant district, near Morgan
town, Monengalia county, w. Va,
Ann Crowl, wife Of Rev. l. w.
Crowl, aged - years.
Sister Crowl, and her bereaved
husband were baptised by Rev. ]. M.
B. Tisdale, February End, lS42, to-
gether with others on profession Of
their faith in our Lord Jesus Christ,
at the same time the regular Baptist
Church of Morgantown, was organ
lied, and sister Crowl was numbered
amongst the % constituent members
of the infant Church, acknowledging
one Lord, one faith and one baptism,
and that baptism to be administered
to those only who give evidence of
"faith in Christ, that the scrip
lures require it by immersion, and
as a prerequisite for admission into
the Church and to it's communion.
Thus by the grace which is in Christ
Jesus she entered upon a career of
fidelity, selfsacrifice and devotion to
His truth, His cause and His people.
More than Al years she stood fast as
a witness for the Lord, in the liberty
wherewith Christ made her free, as
Gal. 9Th and LIST. Hers was the Joy
to know herself to be sinner saved
by grace. She served the Lord joy
fully in bearing what she could of
the burdens and responsibilities of
home life, when duty called her hus-
band away to preach to others the
way of Salvation through her own
Redeemer. Thus she was help
meet for him. Her last days were
days of great affliction. She pre-
sumed her end was nigh. She had
a desire to depart and be with Jesus.
She enjoyed hope that was as an
anchor to her soul, sure and stead
fast; selected her burial place, ar
ranged for all needful things, con-
nected with her death and burial
Her kind but bereaved husband car
ried out her wishes, assisted by kind
and loving neighbors. Being dead
she yet speaketh to the living in be-
half of Christ, and for his truth and
cause. Brother Crowl is entitled to,
and will no doubt receive much sym
patty from many friends.

Sand Hill.

SAND Hill, April 23.--Thc pros
poets for good crop of wheat are
not very flattering-the farmers SOW
their wheat too late and do not use
enough fertilizers. Our farmers should
read more agricultural books and
papers. If our, farmers land other
people too), and their wives and
daughters spent more time in reading
good books and papers, and less In
idle gossip how much wiser they
would become.

ANOTHER ENTERpRIs

ANOTHER ENTERPRISE A NEW
FIGURING MILL ON FRONT STREET
For several days past there have been
rumors afoat in business circles to
the effect that q new mill was soon
to be built in town. In skirmishing
about for, news the New DOMINION
man chased the rumor to headquar-
tiers and is able to give it to his
readers as an actual fact The struc-
ture will be put up and managed by
Mr.. Elisha Allender, one Of the clev-
crest men and best millers in the
country. 1t will be located on his
lot between Hugs st. Clair's hotel and
Allender's residence. 1t will be a
handsome ree-story structure, filled
from basement to garnet with the
best and latest improved machin-
cry. This is another example of
what effect railroad has on bust
ness. Were it not for our prospec-
tive railroad, it is not likely any one
would have risked such an enter
prise. With the completion of the
road there will be business for all
and no decrease of the business of
our other mills will be perceptable
even with this new competitor
Good luck and plenty Of it' to all
Of them.

SAFE BROKEN OPEN.-THIs TIME AT
MT. MoRRIs, BUT THE THIEVES GET
NoTHING.-On Friday night last some
thieves entered the store of w. G.
Morris, of Mt, Morris, broke open
his safe and went through all the
drawers and boxes in the store in
search of valuables, but left without
anything, at least, nothing was mis-
sed. Mr.. Morris is man of consid-
cradle means, and has at times kept
large sums of money in his safe, but
learning of late how safes have been
robbed concluded it was not secure
place to keep it, and has from time to
time put it in bank at Morgantown.
Some three weeks ago three gentle
men came to Mt. Morris, and "done
up" the town in a careful manner.
They were elegantly attired and spor-
ted fine jewelry. As they did not
seem to be engaged in any business,
they were set down for thieves. They
put up at the Kennedy hotel and had
a team engaged to start with them
for Fairmont at 2 o'clock in the morn
ing. At about 10 o'clock the same
evening they left. The next night
the safe of w. S. Pipes & Bro, of
Cameron, was broken open. 1t is sup
posed that these are the parties who
did the robbing at both places. No
clue to their whereabouts has been
obtained. They got out Of Mt. Nor
ris without being noticed. The safe
was opened after the same manner as
was the post office safe here a few
months Waynesburg Repubi-
can.

Local RAILROAD NOTES. The New
burg correspondent of the Preston
Journal says: The Iron Valley and
Morgantown Railroad is creating
some excitement among our people.
This railroad would be Of immense
benefit to Newburg, and if our citi-
zens take enough interest they can
secure it. Some of our prominent
business men have "come down"
with liberal contributions, and we
hope all others will follow suit.
On Saturday next the bids for
grading l1t miles of the Iron Valley
road will be opened. Several CON
tractors have been on the ground
and will bid for the work. We hope
the work will be under way in few
days and be pushed vigorously until
completed

New FIRM.-Messrs. Barringer 4

Walnut street and will open May LIST
stock of groceries and other goods.
We learn they will also run the
huckstering trade quite extensively.
The gentlemen no doubt come in
anticipation Of our numerous pro-
posed railroad enterprises.
The appearance Of an old man on
the street here, homeless and penni-
less has caused considerable amount
of talk. The party is we'll known
and was formerly well-to-do. The
matter seems all the worse when it
is claimed that those who succeeded
in getting the old mans money now
refuse to do anything for him and
will allow him to go to the poor
house.

Throughout Illinois the climate has
altered for the better with the develop
ment of the soil. Even the roads, which
are notoriously bad in Illinois, are grow
ing better. As to the capacity Of the
ground to produce wheat, corn, etc.,
nobody can begin to say when it will
stop. The great State of the future for
wheat is goingto be Dakota. That Ter
ritory will become great State. The
power of the Northwest to produce a
highly-energized people is probably not
equaled on the globe. The elements
that are filling it up are Irish, Germans
and Scandinavians. They soon CON-
pound into magnificent race, and the
popularity of the climate is that it gives
them active brains and bodies. The
cold of the winters and the bracing air
of the summers bring out all human
power in man. You see the race grow
ing in size almost under your eyes,
Gath.

How Billiard Balls Are Manufactured.

The manufacture of billiard bills from
celluloid and bonsilate is a peculiar in
dustry from the fact that the only facto-
~ of the kind in the world is in this
city. A large proportion of the balls
now made are of celluloid, but only foi
the reason that the machinery is not rs
well adapted TO the manufacture of bon
SLATE balls. The time will come, how
ever, when all balls will be made of the
latter material. The celluloid, which
is received in large white sheets, is first
cut into small square pieces about five
eighths of an inch in size. These arc
placed into molds, previously heated bY
steam to the proper temperature. They
are then placed in the hydraulic press
es, and with pressure of from 800
to 1000 pounds to the square inch are
roughly nodded, heat at the same time
being applied. The various positions
of the blocks in the mold give the ball
the peculiar notified appearance when
finished. Experiments have been made
by grinding the celluloid to a powder,
and using it in that form, but moth
inc has succeeded so well eg the pres
ent method: After being taken from
the molds, the balls are turned absolute
ly spherical, by an exceedingly ingeni"
Gus Device
The processes in the manufacture OF
bonsilate balls are quite different in
many respects. The material is placed
in the molds in powder, and the balls,
after being roughly pressed up, consid-
erably larger than the required size, are
covered with rubber and tin foil to pre-
vent the material from being injured by
water, and are then placed under water
pressure. BY means of this, which is
the only machine of the kind in exist
ence, the balls are placed under press
ure of from 5000 to 1000 pounds to the
square inch The water touching the
ball at every point, and the pressure
being equally transmitted, the result is
perfectly pressed sphere, of just the
same specific gravity in one spot as in
another. Without this apparatus, the
successful manufacture of billiard balls
from bonsilate would have been impos-
sible. A simple but ingenious contriv-
ancesis also employed to ascertain when
the balls are perfectly poised or bal
anced. They are first weighed and
are then placed in fiat dish of mercury.
This subtle fluid detects the slightest
shade of inaccuracy, and the balls are
put in the lathe and corrected until
they are absolutely true. Not only bill
lard, but pool and bagatelle balls are
made. The prices at which they are
sold are far below these charged for
ivory, ranging from $3.50 to $3.50 per
set OF four balls for billiards, and from
$26 to $50 per set of sixteen balls for
pool.-Albdny Argus.

In Switzerland, for its seeming ca

dairying country in the world, the cattle
of the various cantons are quite distinct.
The owners generally arrange for an
animal inspection when the best cattle

large, remarkably persistent in repeating
the same characteristics, made hardy by
mountain climbing, excellent for milk

it seems, have turned out well. Many
have run away to take up the vagrant
