TIE LATHAM INVESTIGATION - A
VAST ARRAY OF WITNESSES ON Born
SIDES - The CIRCUMSTANCES THAT
BRouGHT IT ABoUT.-Nearly five years
ago Woodsille Latham, Jr., was
elected by the Board Of Regents to
the chair Of Chemistry, Physics and
Agriculture in the West Virginia
University. He came into this town
entirely unknown except by n few
members OF the faculty aid, perhaps,
one or two other citizens. Men must
make reputation whether they will
or not. They can not help it. Mr..
Latham began his work in the Uni
vcrsiiy and his association with the
people of the town with no prejudice
against him.
Our people being deeply and warm
ly interested in the University began
naturally to inquire into the char
actcr of the work done by the new
Professor and the character of the
man himself. Soon and gradually
there began to be feeling among
the students and also among the
citizens that mistake had been
made in giving Mr. Latham so i'm
portant and responsible position.
This feeling was ever and anon
strengthened by reports from stu
dents and Others who had heard and
seen that which to them seemed to
deserve condemnation. Reports Of
oatlis used, disturbances in class
rooms, wrangiings and alterations
in tue faculty. games at the table and
familiarity with the swine when it is
red began to be freely discussed.
Men who had known him before he
came to this place, citizens Of Char
lesloA and elsewhere, said that he
had u similar reputation wherever he
was known. Men held up their hands
in horror that such man should be
allowed to teach West Virginia boys.
These circumstances have been com
mentcd upon throughout the State.
The question was asked: Are they
true? People quoted the old adage
about where there is so much smoke
DC. BOYS were said to have left his
classes because of mistreatment. The
school was thought to be injured
seriously by his connection with it.
Finally three members of the
Alumni, anxious for the prosperity
Of their Alma Mater and thinking
that perhaps the Board was not fully
f,,p, n fi1n al, fav II
reputation of Prof. Latham preferred
certain charges against him about
| last commencement times aud asked
that they be given an opportunity Of
proving them. The 25th of July
| was set for the time and Morgantown
for the place. Last Saturday the
evidence began and continued till A
p. NJ. Tuesday, including lengthy
night sessions. Several affidavits,
letters and newspaper articles were
filed. A great many witnesses were
examined. The prosecution itself
had 43, but did not call them all.
Regent Gallaher took down the evil
dence for the use of the Board. Tues
day evening the matter was left for
the Boards consideration.
The Board decided last night that
the charges against Prof. Latham
we're not proven and he was requested
to be more circumspect hereafter,
that no cause should arise for any
such trouble in the future.

last week three wheat stacks on the
farm of Mr.. John L. Sterrett, of Gin

A You've MAN Runs A Fork HAN
DIE THROUGH HIS BowELs.-The
Waynesburg Republican gives the
following account Of horrible acct
dent that recently occurred in Greene
county: Last Saturday frightful
accident occurred to young man
named John Piteock while putting
hay in the barn on the farm of Mr..
Jonas Ely, two miles west of this
place. The terrible affair took place
about seven o'clock in the evening
while moving away the last load from
the meadow.
The hay was being pitched from a
wagon standing on the barn floor. up
into NOW. Jonas Ely, jr., was taking
the hay back and Pitcock was pitch
ing to him-standing on the tight
floor of the NOW. The hay had been
stacked up till there was quite a wall
of it about Mr.. Pitcock and, in the
hurry to finish up, he went up into
the NOW to assist Mr.. Ely in tramp
ing, leaning his fork up against
the hay, handle up. After accom-
plishing this in sliding down the hay
to the NOW foor-forgetting the fork
he came in contact with the fork
handle, which entered his body at
the rectum, penetrating as far as the
diaphragm, decorating and tearing
its way through the bowels, and in
ficting internal injuries that will
probably terminate his life. Drs.
Bradcn, Of this place, and Ullom, of
Rogersville, were summoned and did
everything possible for the young
mans relief and comfort, but he is
still in critical condition. with the
chances against his recovery. Mr.
Pitcock is about % years of age, and
is spoken Of as a young man of ex-
eellent character.
