INCENDIARIsM.--One night last week
steam thresher, about As bushels
Of threshed wheat and an unthreshed
rick estimated to contain about 175
bushels, together with an immense
amount of feed, was destroyed by
fire on the Morgan and Prichard
farm, Marion county. The entire
loss is estimated at 5000 The fire
was not discovered until about mid
night, and was evidently the work Of
some abandoned, totally depraved,
Satan souled incenhiary. The thresh-
er was the first steam one in Marion
county, and its less is felt not only
by the owners but by the farmers in
that neighborhood.

Special to the Commercial Gazette
WHEELING, w. Va, Sept. 5.-Ga-
briel Holland, a negro law student in
the office of one Of the largest law
firms in this State, has made appli-
cation to enter the University of
West Virginia, at Morgantown and
has practically been refused admis-
sion. Prof. Berkeley, Chairman of
the faculty, says the application
must go to the Board of Trustees,
thirteen in number, who control the
action of the faculty. All their trus-
tees are Democrats, and the negro
has little if any hope of obtaining
admission. No negro has ever been
admitted to the school and it is
claimed that the Bourbon faculty
will interpose obstacles in the way
of all attempts to enter by colored
pupils.
Every one acquainted in any de-
gree with the government of the Uni
versity will at once see that no truth
is contained in the above. Holland
is not and never was a law student
He simply applied for admission to
the University, but as the constitu-
ton ofthe State provides that schools
for the colored people shall be pro-
vided apart from others, he was re-
ferred to that, which settled the mat
ter.

The PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS OF THE
UNIvERsITY.-The school term is open
ing more auspiciously at the Univers-
ity than was generally expected.
There are already here some 70 or rs
students and others are coming.
These numbers are not large bnt we
are heartily glad to see even this
degree of prosperity, and hope to see
decided increase in numbers be-
fore the year is done.
The professional schools are com
paratively new features Of the Uni
versity, but none the less valuable on
that account. The Law School has
been the more favored one of the two,
having been made few years ago a
regular chartered school with the
power Of comforting the degree of
Bachelor of Laws.
At the last session of the Board of
Regents an additional professor was
given to that department, arrange
ments have been made for moot
courts and the work has started off
very we'll indeed. Young men who
take the law are generally graduates
of the regular college course also, and
are thereby so much the better fitted
for the study Of that subject. The
Law School is permanent fixture.
Its worth and standing are begin
ming to be recognized. The older
schoolssof the country are beginning
gradually to lose their grip on West
Virginia's legal students and the
coming lawyer of the State will re-
ceive his legal education, at least it
is to be hoped so, at the University
of West Virgainia.
The chair of Medicine does not
seem to be a particularly favored
child of the commonwealth. True it
has been established a good while
and professors of ability have filled
it from the beginning, but since it
was made separate school even its
warmest friends can not say that it
has fulfilled its mission.
Why? Because DR.. Allen is not
a man of ability and attachments in
his profession? Not at all. No one
questions that. What then? Simply
because the medical school was not
made like the law school, a regular
chartered institution with the power
of comforting degrees. 1t can not be
expected to be decided success un.
til that thing is done. Young men
do not care to spend two or three
years studying medicine here and
then have to go elsewhere in order
to get their diploma.
Give the school of medicine the
power of comforting the M. ID. and it
will soon be in as tiourishing a con-
dition as the school of law and equity.

FOUND DEAD AMONG THE ASHES
MYSTERIOUS MURDERs.-A trial of
more than ordinary interest is in pro
gress at st. George, Tucker county,
this State. One Jacob Flanagan
has sued the Rev. George w. Sum
merviile for $40, 900 for SANDER The
case is connected with two of the
most heartless and cold blooded mur
ders ever committed in West Virgin
ia. More than 40 years ago there
lived in Tucker county man named
John F. Flanagan, father of the plain
tiff in the case now pending. His wife
was very beautiful and had been the
queen ofthe mountain bellies. A few
years after her marriage to Flanagan
she left him and became the mis-
tress of one Eli Carr, living on Lead
ing Creek, Randolph county. Here
she was frequently. visited by her
husband and son Jacob who tried by
entreaties and threats to induce the
selfwilled beauty to return to her
home. But

They didn't succeed In the Spring
of 1910 the cabin in which Carr and
his mistress lived was burned to the
ground and their remains, with crush
ed and broken skulls, were found
among the ruins. Everything point
Ell strongly to Flanagan and son
Jacob as the guilty parties but
nothing could be proved, and the
horrible crime gradually faded from
memory.
About Il year ago another double
murder occurred recalling the Incl
dents of 1910. Frances Summerville,
a sister of Rev. Geo. Summervile,
was found with her illegitimate child
lying burnt and blackencd, with her
head horribly crushed, among the
ashes of log cabin which had stood
on the banks of the Long Fork of
Cheat River. A coroner's jury spent
six days examining witnesses and re-
turned verdict of murder, and ac-
cused John G. Flanagan, grandson
Of the murderer of 1910, of being the
guilty party. \ He is now in Jail await
ing the verdict of his fellow citizens.
George w. Summerville, it seems,
had frequently declared that Jacob
Flanagan had had something to do
with the foul murder of 1910 and has
been sued by Flanagan for $4,000
as stated obove. The whole affair is
very complicated one, and the mys-
terry connected with it through 40
years lends to it peculiar interest.

beads rise through the liquid as if it were
champagne, and its foam is like whipped
cream. Upon emptying glass, its ap-
pearance is fully borne out by its taste. 1t
is delicate. with smart SID ack of hops and
malt, and leaves lingering flavor on the
tongue. One of its best qualities is its
lightness, causing no headache, even if
used to excess. 1t is fully equal to, if not
superior, to any of the Eastern or foreign
brands in the market. 1t is highly re-
commended for family use, and all orders

The InunciI CnNns

The long deferred decision Of the Dis trlct Court in the matter of "mandamus" proceedings against the Mayor and Council, on behalf of Messrs. Sampson and Sullivan, councilmen elect, was filed to-day. We have not time or space to give it entire. hut briefly state that the writ is refused upon the grounds that tho Mayor and Council, in canvass ing and declaring the result Of charter elections. act in quasi judicial ca pscIty ana with discretionary powers" |" and not as ministerial officers, and that their action or proceedings cannot be reached OF reversed by maHdamus. This virtually dispOses of the contest for their seats by the petitioners, as the of fee IS one of honor and trGst only, and controls no emolGments to any person honestly and cOnscIentlOusly perform ing its duties, and further litigation would only cause them an expense which we do not consider they should be required to bear. So ends an at tempt legally to right the most bare faced tsmpering with the counter expressed franchises of our citizens that has ever been witnessed ID Arlzona. In view of this decision. and of certain provisions m our charter, we do not at present see anything to pre- vent an annually recurring self-election of our present Mayor and Council until Providence, in its all wise power, sees fit to decree otherwise.
