Affairs About Georgetown.
SCHOOLS, POLITICS, PERSONALS AND
MARRIAGES.


GEORGETOWN, Nov. 10.-Everybody
seems to be waiting for election news.
Some of our folks have been thusing
largely, but late reports put damper
on their feelings. Now we believe an
effort is being made to repeat the
counting out business Of '76, and our
only hope is that the people Of New
York will not bear it. We know the
will of the Republican party is good
for "deeds that are dark" but there
is point when forbearanee ceases
to be virtue.
When we see woman waving her
handkerchief and believing for Blaine
at Democratic procession we come
to the conclusion that she is very
much out Of her place; and when we
see a bowling mob of little negroes
meet a procession half mile from
town we know somebody sent them.
This last fact is causing some very
emphatic talk by citizens of the
"west side" Those of Us who lived
through the late unpleasantness are
prepared to expect anything.
Our schools are about all open.
j. B. McKennedy will teach at Coal
Spring, Jesse Snider here, Miss Ida
Barker at Arnettsville, a Mr.. Mercer
at Pleasant Valley, A. J. Arnett at
Stewards Run (will not begin till
Nov. 24th,) o. B. Stewart goes to
New Brownsville, Miss Matte Stew
art to Laurel Point, &c, &c.
Well Blaine ideas now seem to be
popular. Yesterday we heard that
couple of our people had been married
5 months and kept it secret a la
Blaine. They have certificate, B.
hadn't.
Churches were SHINY attended in
this section yesterday. Too much
politics, and too much-well never
mind.
We saw yesterday two Of the young
folks Of near Flickcrsville visiting
relatives. They didn't look like they
cared much about the election.
S. C. Stewart and wife will likely
go to visit DR.. Arnett, Of Aurora, this
week.
Will Arnett, Of Arnettsville, will
move to Rivcsville this week.
The Arnettsville Cleveland and
Hendricks Club will have their last
meeting Tuesday night. They have
fully done their work.

MORE ABOUT THE YOUNGSTOWN DIS
AsTER.-The inquest over fourteen
victims of the Youngstown mine dis
aster has resulted in verdict cen
surfing the company for failing to
provide trapper and for the employ
ment of an incompetent fire. boss.
However negligent the company may
have been in the matter of employ
ing insufficient or incompetent labor,
the fact remains that the accident
was primarily due to the presence in
the mine of naked light, the use of
which had been forbidden by the mine
inspector months before. 1t had
been demonstrated that the greatest
precautions were necessary. The
presence of an open light in mine
known to be dangerous, was mex
cusable. The Youngstown disaster
should have been probed to the bot
tom. The sacrifice of fourteen lives
demands the most rigid explanation
and account.-Courier

UNIVERSITY ITEMS.
BIZ OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.

Prof. Purinton has been absent
several days attending the Baptist
Association. He will return the first
of this week.
Prof. Lorentz has been quite un
well for several days. He has not
been able to meet his classes.
Cadet Bacchus met with quite a
painful accident last week. He had
put cartridge into his gun and was
closing the chamber when it exploded.
He was not seriously hurt, but re
ceived very painful wound in the
hand. The ball that was discharged
went through two floors and into the
ground some distance. The cadets
will have to be more careful with their
guns, or some of them will meet with
more serious accidents
Last Thursday Major Lee delivered
the corps over to the new Comman-
dant, Lieut.. j. l.. Wilson. 1t was
very cold evening, but in spite of the
cold there were quite crowd pres
ent to witness the ceremony. See
further account in an other column.

The New DOMINION is just right in
advocating a Lecture Course at the
University. Last Commencement
there WAS but one lecture, and that
certainly would have interested the
Historical Society, for which it was
originally intended, more than the
general audience. The Lecture Course
is now a popular feature Of all our
colleges. 1t is a progressive feature.
And unless some effort is made in
this direction We fear that the w.
V. U. will partly deserve the tile
which it sometimes seems to covet-
of being an institution just a little
behind the times.

Is IT MURDER?-Some weeks ago
Jerome Mcintosh, prominent citi-
zen of Gilmer county, this State,
disappeared and for days nothing
could be even conjectured as to the
cause of his absence. On Saturday
a bloody club was found in a dense
forest on the mountain side not for
from his house, clotted with blood,
hair and braines. A short distance
away some bones were also found.
For the last tire or four nights the
most horiable means and groans have
been heard in the vicinity, and the
simple minded yisitants attribute
them to supernatural causes and re-
fuse to 60 out at nights. tits thought
that the noises are made by panthers
or wildcats which abound In the
vicinity. 1t is also conjectured that
Mr.. Mcintosh was killed by some
man and his body devoured by the
wild animals-Er.

POLITICAL EXCITEMENT-THE LAST
WEEK IN MoRGANTowN. = During
most of the last week the town has
been in state of intense excitement.
The Western Union telegraph office
was headquarters for news and a
throng was on the street in front of
the Commercial Hotel and in the Of
flee every night and most Of the time
during every day last week after the
election on Tuesday. Each of the
two political parties had it's seasons
ofhope and dependency, its ups and
downs. The first great demonstra-
ton of the week was on last Wednes
day night when the wires reported
that there had been political land
slide and that about everything ex
cept Texas had gone Republican.
Storeboxes were converted into smoke
and fame and the town went wild.
Then the tide turned and kept turn
ing into every conceivable shape.
Thursday and Friday nights the
streets were full of excited men and
boys, especially boys, bowling them
selves hoarse, some for Blaine, some
for Cleveland. The daily papers
were in great demand and there was
such a rush on the old postoffice
building that it almost shook. The
news agent was happy. Saturday
night was one of intense excitement.
The streets were crowded and throng-
ed. Two or three men got into a
protracted quarrel and once or twice
the crowd which gathered around
them looked very much like mob.
About 8 o'clock horses were hitched
to one of the large brass cannons at
the armory and the piece was tax en-
to the top of Mr. Keck's hill on the
west side Of the river and Is rounds
were fired in demonstration of the
Democratic victory. BY Monday
mornig great many Republicans
had ceased to hope and the enthusi-
asm had to great extent quoted

ANOTHER UNIoNTowN MURDER
1t is a painful duty to announce the
death of Policeman Joseph T. Hack
ney, which occurred at his residence
here this Thursday evening. 1t
will be remembered that he was shot
in the thigh a couple of weeks ago,
while making an arrest near the court
house. Sam Dix was charged with
the shooting, as his revolver was
found lying on the pavement after
wards. He has been lodged in jail
to answer to the charge of murder.
Mr.. Hackney leaves a wife and three
small children. 1t is very distress

party is that thus struck down a
faithful officer in the discharge of his
duty, should receive full punishment.

SHOT IN THE HAND-A PAINFUL
ACcIDENT-Cadet Bacchus, of Har-
rison county, met with rather ser
ious accident on Friday night of
last week. He was loading his mus
ket at the Davis House and in clos
ing the chamber, which was some
what rusty, he exploded the cartridge.
The ball did not touch his hand but
passed through the floor tearing
things up generally. The chamber
and the cartridge shell both flew out
and it was one or both of these which
tore his hand. The whole palm Of
the left hand was badly lacerated
but fortunately it was largely flesh
wound and Drs. Brock and Wade at
once put it in good shape.

A Cheerful Situation.

At this stage of the canvass in Connecticut
 the Republicans have good ground for conf
 dence. The situation is, beyond all ques-
 tion, far more favorable to the Republicans now than it was at corresponding period in
 the canvass of 1880.
 There is a wider and deeper interest felt by the masses of the party than there has been in any previous canvass for many years.
 This interest has shown itself in many pub
 tic meetings, in the very general organization of campaign clubs and in an unusual amount of campaign work.
 The Republicans of Connecticut as a body are more than satisfied with the national nominations of their party. Indeed, anyone who takes the trouble to investigate as to the sentiments of the Republican masses will very soon become convinced that MT. Blaine was their first choice for the presidency, and that they are supporting him with a ' degree of enthusiasm far greater than they
 have displayed for any other candidate since the Republicans won their first na- tional victory in 1860. Equally plain will l it be to the careful observer of tho drift of l party sentiment that the nomination of l General John A. Logan is received with the heartiest approval by the Union vete-
 rans of the country, and that nowhere will I it be more cordially supported than in Con | necticut
 The splendid State ticket placed before the people by the Republicans admirably supple ments the work of the national convention.
 On that ticket there is not name that does not carry with it clements of strength. The nomination of Henry B. Harrison was l a most eonspicuou illustration of the office l seeking the man. It is true that Mir. Harri-
 rison did not write a letter declining the 1 nomination in advance; but it is equally true l that he did not surround the convention with l his political intimates to insist upon his nom I ination. On the other hand, the demand tor
 sgoNn1 bis noInnetion came spontaneously from all

sections of the State, and the choice of the convention rested upon him because of the universal belief that he is in every respect eminently fitted for the highest office in the gift of the people of Connecticut, and that he will bring to the discharge of its duties the highest ability and integrity, and dig nity that will not need any self-assertion on his part to impress it upon the people. Mir. Harrison's nomination not only commands the hearty support of Republicans, but is cordially endorsed by the Independent press of the State. It is expected that MT. Harri- son will deliver few speeches during the canEass. It is safe to predict that he will discuss the living issues of the day in can did and forcible manner, and that he will not bore his audiences by making himself the principal theme of his addresses.
 MT. Harrison's associates on the ticket are representative Republicans of the different sections from which they come. Individual ly and collectively they add strength to the cause. They are representatives of educa- tiona1 interests, of manufacturing interests, of mercantile interests and of the Union vet erans.
 It only remains for Connecticut Republi cans to maintain the advantage they have gained at the beginning of the canvass. This they can do by plenty of hard and intelh- gent work from this time forward. In order to win substantial victory for Blaine and Logan and Harrison it is only necessary to bring the full Republican vote to the polls.
