Col. HANwAY's RECORD AS A MEM
Der OF THE BALTIMORE CRY CoUNCn.
RE NOMINATED WITHOUT OPPosITIoN
Many of our readers will remember
that Col. w. A. Hanway, formerly Of
this place was elected last year
member of the Baltimore City coun-
Gil as a reformer In this as in
everything else Col. Hanway did
what he thought was right The re-
suit of his course is spoken of by the
paragraph:
Mr.. Counselman, it will be remem-
bered, was elected as a reformer last
year, but voted with the regulars on
the Fire Marshall ordinance. Some
of the Independents, it is understood,
want Benjamin Baker, an Irish Amer
can, to run as an Independent candi-
date against Mr.. Bowen. The de-
feat of Mr.. Counselman and the in
disposition of DIR. Burton to be a
candidate-both of whom, after being
elected as Reformers, bolted that
party and went over to the regulars
afford an instructive commentary
when contrasted with the action of
the regulars in the case of Mr.. w.
A. Hanway. This gentleman was
elected on the Reform ticket and was
among the foremost opponents of the
regulars on every issue that came up
in the City Council. He stood up
for the rights of the Reformers after
DR.. Burton and Mr.. Counselman had
deserted them, and fought the Fire
Marshall ordinance with all the pow
er at his command. AS a result, the
Democrats on Friday were afraid to
put up candidate of their own
against him. The bosses he fought
could not prevail on any one to run a
against him, so strong did his Re-
form record make him among his
constituents. On the other hand,
Mr.. Counselman, after deserving the
Reformers and going over to the reg
ulars, was defeated Friday. The
regular Democrats declined to come
to his aid and the Reformers also
opposed him. Dr. Burton, who was
also elected on the fusion ticket last
year, would have gladly accepted a
denomination, but the regulars, for
whom he sacrificed so much, knew
him not. Mr.. Hanway's case when
compared with that of other gentle
men, might be said to point moral
of decided significance.

A HowLING MoB.-There is no bet
ter term with which to characterize
the Republican meeting in this place
on Monday last, than to call it a
bowling mob.
Now that the election is over it
cannot be charged to any partisan
motive to say that it was one of the
most disorderly, drunken and dis
graceful meetings ever witnessed in
Morgantown. The conduct of the
crowd was a shame on our civiliza-
ton. They defied all rules of decency
and self respect. They defied all
civil law and the officers of the law.
They burlesqued the laws against
intoxicating drinks. At times the
whole crowd seemed to be drunk.
They reeled and swore and yelled
like mad Indians. They fought each
other like tigers. They ran pell nell
in seething, raging masses like
herd of wild animals in pursuit of
prey. The streets resounded with
the most shocking profanity. The
wild curses and yells, terrified the
women until they closed their houses
and locked the doors. The New
Jersey speaker attempted to interest
and hold the crowd with substantial
argument, but gauging them by their
conduct, turned to anecdote Yet
nothing would hold them when a
drunken brawl was to be seen. Their
impulses and tastes were always in
the direction of the drunken brawl.
1t has been many years since such
scenes we're witnessed in this town,
if ever before. We hope, for the good
of the town, they may never be wit
messed again. They were a shame
and disgrace to our town, to our peo-
pie and to humanity in general.

HEAVY REWARD OFFERED For THE
ARREST OF THE MURDERER OF CHAs.
GRIFFITH Emmett Mitchell, the
slayer of Charles Griffith CT St. Glars
vile, Ohio, but formerly ofthis coun-
ty, is still at large. All Belmont
county is aroused and indignant.
Heavy rewards have been offered and
it is hoped he may yet he found.
The Bellaire Co.. Independent says:
The County Commissioners in ses-
sion this week authorized the Sheriff
to offer an additional $500 for the
arrest of Emmett Mitchell, providing
he is caught outside the State. This
makes 81, 100 now offered for the ar
rest of this murderer, and the citi-
zens in the vicinity of where the
deed was committed propose to raise
$500 additional, making $1,000 in
all. This amount may bring the
scoundrel to justice, but it strikes us
that little more vigilance and ener-
gy on the part of the officers of Bel
mont county in such grave case
would be eminently proper.

Two of our enterprising students
have been out the last week trying to

nights, to ornament some front doors.
One of them should take warning

Corp. White came very near meet

explosion burst the barrel, tore off
the chamber and shook things up
generally. Fortunately he escaped
uninjured except slight burn and q
bruised hand.

About three miles southeast of Dun
bar, Pa. capacious hole in the
ground has been discovered and ex-
plored. 1t has been called Lime
Cave and like all other caves of any
size in this country is found in a
lime stone formation. The hill is

passages are decorated beyond con

for several years but had not been
explored until few days since, when
two gentlemen cleared away the rub

came to the extremity of the cave

must extend at least six or seven
miles in the mountain.

WEST VIRGINIA AT New ORLEANS.
Arrangements have been made for
educational exhibits at the forth
coming Exposition in New Orleans.
School work of any kind from this
State may be sent to Supt. Butcher
at Wheeling and he will see that it
reaches the Exposition. Let our
public schools do something in this
direction. A very fair exhibit can
be made. We respectfully call the
attention of teachers to this matter.
Mr.. Butcher says:
/ desire the school work from as
many of our schools as will prepare
it and forward it to me before
the 1st of November, 1884, to
to appear in this exhibit The time
is limited and the work to be exhibited
must necessarily be obtained prompt
~. Each school or its friends will
have to prepare it's Exhibit at its own
expense. When delivered TO me no
further expense to the Exhibitors
will be incurred. / most earnestly
call the attention of our teachers,
school officers and people to this OPP
portunity to exhibit our progress ed
ucationally. We have vast mineral,
timber, agricultural, manufacturing
and other business interests to ex-
hibit, yet the farmer or mechanic
from another State or nation expect
ing to come among us to make his
home and rear his family must be
satisfied that we have good schools
before he will break up his home to
seek u home and competence here.
The Educational Exhibit therefore
is very important to all other inter
ests.

i MORGAN, Ten, June 19.-The first
performance was given by the Morgan
Thespians at the academy on the 18th
inst, and, as the members wish to Sc,
themselves as others see them and re
quested close criticism, we will strive
to show their discrepancies without
subtractiug anything previously re
ported; II anything we will make M
addition.
The tableaux were II! well produced
while the vocal productions could not
be improved upon very much In fact
the regular profession. Don't Go
Out Tonight, My Darling by Mr..
w. II. Hawkins and Miss LORNA
Winlz, was quite a pathetic scene,
while the duet of Ever, Ever Thine
by Misses Mollie higgins and Pressie
Wilson, was sublime production.
Miss Bertha Donnell was the hit of
tie evening in "The Style of the Day"
In the farce of Irregular Fix" DR..
j. M. Frazier made grand success as

keep the audience in continual roar

lines. "Chas. Slrp!.uss" as enacted ny

not quite so well. Miss Annie Hawk
ins gave splendid rendition of "Emi-
ly." Miss Donnell as Matilda Jane"
was very good indeed, and "Debora
Carter" by Miss Wintz, was fair but
lacked force. "Mrs. Surpluss," by
Mrs. T.. j. Wilson, was we'll up TO the
standard. "A kiss in the dark was
we'll received by the audience and well
done by the performers. "Selim Pet
tybone" was well rendered by Mr. r.
NJ. Cox, and SO was "Mr. Fatohm' by
MIR. G. O. Brownstad. Miss Molie
higgins as Mrs. Pettybonen struck
her native element, and so did Miss
Pressie Wilson as Mary"
The nervous, fidgety movements and
frequent or uncalled-for gestures so
often conspicuous III amateurs were en-
tirely absent upon this occasion, but
two or three gentlemen had a mania
for turning their backs to the au-
dience during delivery. 1t should be
borne in mind in the future that parts
requiring an actor to turn his back to
the audience are very rare. Another
abominable practice was INDUCED in
by portion of the company and that
was the disgusting habit of pceping
from behind the curtain at the au-
dieDce. This is an act that can never
be tolerated or excused, even in
novices, and should never be INDUCED
in. 1t not only shows bad taste, but
it is the personifcation of ignorance.
Now if this is accepted in the spirit
in which it is written it will have the
desired effect, but if it is not, then
somebody is going to get mad and say
this critic makes himself entirely too
fresh, and vow by all the powers of
hades that he can have no more dead
head tickets. : II. G.
