The BrookIyn bridge.

After about fourteen years hard
labor the great suspension bridge be-
tween New York and Brooklyn has
been completed, and thus two large
cities connected in manner which
was never dreamed of in Revolution
airy times. 1t is indeed the browning
work of the century, and can be class
ed among the wonders of this country.
The suspension bridges at Niagara
Falls and over the Ohio river at Gin
cinnati, are merely foot bridges in
comparison with it. It's dimensions,
history and cost are familiar to all
readers of the daily papers, and do
not need be repeated here; but we
do wish to speak of Permna, the great.
est discovery of this century. 1t is
q medicine discovered by Dr. S. b.
Hartman, of Pittsburgh, and pre-
scribcd by him in thousands Of cases

tions for preservation OF the health.

CONTRACT ABOUT CoMrLETED.-The
big fill at Ellington will we learn be
completed this week as will also be
the stone work of the bridge at that
place. The masons will then all be-
gin at Cobun's creek and Decker's
creek bridges.
Col. Foster Is so near done his con-
tract that he has taken considera-
BILE number Of his hands to points
below here and commenced work.
The Uniontown Standard has tho
following paragraph: Between I'm
iontown and Fairmont the b. IL O.
have several hundred men at work,
distributed at different points. Near
~ 100 of these are in the vicinity of
Pt. Marion, Contractor Foster having
finished contract above Morgan
town and transferred large force on
the four miles between the state line
and the Point. The work south Of
Uniontown is being pushed by large
gangs, so that at the present rate not
many months will elapse until that
portion of the road lying within Fay
cite county will be graded. If the
Pennsylvania company don't wake
up the first thing they know the b.
n o. will have railroad built into
West Virginia.
The men in the vicinity of Rives-
vile have been destroying great
many fish by exploding dynamite in
the river. The authorities should
stop such wanton destruction.
Patrick Long, a foreman on the f.,
M. p. r. r., was considerably shaken
up, last Saturday, by the explosion
of a nitro glycerine cap, which he
carried with number of others in
one of his vest pockets. The explo-
sion was caused by accidentally
striking the pocket with his elbow
while in the act of throwing a stone.
A portion of his clothing was torn
away and the flesh on his arm and
hip was badly lacerated. The won
der is that the remaining caps in the
pocket were not exploded, in which
event probably there would have been
some trouble in finding enough of
Mr.. Long to conduct funeral with.
1t was a close call, and Mr.. Long
is to be congratulated upon his es-
cape.--Inder.
We are assured by the officers of
the w. Va. Pa. road that the affairs
of that company are progressing all
right, and that their contracts will
be let now in very short time.

Why DOES not some enterprising
capitalist build Il summer hotel some
where in the famous Cheat River re-
gion? Parties from Pittsburgh, Way
neshurg, here and many other points
are already there every summer pitch
ing their tents amid scenery that can
but rarely be equaled this side OF the
Missippi. As a summer resort the
region of Quarry run could, in few
years. he made as popular as Deer
Park or many of the hotels by the
sea. The new railroad line.will make
it very accessible, yet it is so COM
pletelyisolated from town and city
that even the thought of their smoke
and dirt and business hustle could
hardly reach it.
As business enterprise the es-
adjustment of a hotel there could
not help paying well. There are
summer resorts and summer resorts,
but there are as good fish in the sea
as ever were caught, and the Cheat
River region only needs a good, spa
cious hotel to he appreciated by hun
dreds of pleasure seekers.

To the Editor of the New DOMINION


To the Editor of the New DOMINION:
In your last issue the following
item appears:
Il say unqualifiedly that all who
have sworn that was drunk &c,
have committed perjury"
The above is the statement of Prof
Latham made on oath after the evi
dcnce against him had been taken
Below are some of the gentlemen to
whom he referred.
Among the names given is my own
and in as much as l think you put
me in false position / desire you to
publish the statement made by me
on oath in full.
Col. Evans sworn statement is rs
follows:
MoNoNGALIA COUNTY, nit.
WEST VIRGINIA. .o"'o'
This day came James Evans, and
made oath before me in said County
and State, that he is citizen of Nor
gantown, in said county; has only a
slight personal acquaintance with
Prof Woodyille Latham, Jr., and
personally knows nothing of the truth
or falsely of the charges against him
of drunkenness, profanity or immor-
atty; that he has been for many
years a Democrat in politics, and
well acquainted with the citizens Of
said town and county, and is of opin
ion that the public feeling and judg-
ment as manifested towards Prof.
Latham in connection with the
charges preferred against him, and
now being investigated by the Re-
gents of the West Virginia University,
are not partizan and political except
possibly in few instances; that from
his knowledge Of the public senti-
ment as expressed in reference to
Prof Latham, and the estimation in
which he is held by the majority of
those whom he has heard express
opinions upon the subject, he is
clearly of the opinion that the inter-
ests of the University would be great
ly promoted by his resignation; and
he makes this affidavit at the in
stances Of those having charge Of the
prosecution of said charges.

WHILE University matters are be-
ing discussed by the State press it
will likely be said by some body, as
it has been more than once before,
that all this trouble originates in this
place; that Morgantown is not in
sympathy with the University, and all
that kind ofthing. There isn'ta word
Of such stuff founded on fact, not q
word Local pride, self interest and
hearty good will toward all cduca-
tional progress unite in closely link
ing together the University and the
town. Our people contributed large
" to it at its foundation and since
then have encouraged it in every way.
True they have their own ideas and
do their own thinking concerning
methods and men employed. Being
in daily contact with the students
and professors of the school they
have opportunities Of seeing all its in
ward workings, all the belts and
bolts of its machinery. When any
thing becomes decidedly out Of gear
the matter is called attention to, not
to iniure the school but to set it on a
better footing. Surely he who would
help when there is imminent danger
can not be called an enemy.
The young men who come here as
students receive cordial welcome
from the town, no matter where they
hale from. If they behave them
selves they are surrounded with
friends from the beginning. We
know of college towns where the stu
dents do not minglc at all with the
general population and where they
are given the go by as though they
bore the mark of Cain upon their
forehcads, and all this is because of
the foolish freaks that school boys
are proverbial for committing. This
can In no wise be scid of Morgantown,
and whatever statements may be
made declaring it to be in any way
unfriendly to the best interests of the
University may be set down rs the
veriest bosh.

Mr.. G. G. Baker spent last Friday at

of which DR.. Courtney is the hero.
He met, successfully vanquisled and
killed, a rattlesnalSe of good length
and unusual thickness. Not being
satisfied with his conquest he went
back in short time to institute a
search for the monsters mate and
found, not another rattlesnake, but a

laid to sleep with its fathers. Some

CHANGES IN THE FACULTY &C.-At
the late session of the Board of Re-
gents some important changes and
transfers in the Faculty were made.
The changes are not quite com
plete in all their details but the fol-
lowing are the main features as fur
nished by the Sec'y of the Board,
Prof Wiley.
A L. S. Government Military and
Naval officer of ability and reputa-
ton is likely to be secured from
Washington. He will have charge of
the Military department and will be
ut the head of the School of Mathe-
MATES.
This will relieve Prof Purinton of
the chair of Mathematics He has,
therefore, been assigned the chair of
Metaphysics, which beyond doubt he
is qualified to fill.
Prof. Wiley has been made As
sistant Professor Of Law. He still
retains his position rs Professor of
History. This addition to the Law
department is an excellent one, and
was greatly needed, the work being
entirely too budensome for one Pro
fessor.
If the expected Government officer
is secured Maj. Lee will be relieved
of his position as Commandment.
A little additional work has been
assigned to the School of English.

THE TEACHERS INSTITUTE for this
county will begin Monday, Aug. 18th,
and last five days. Prof d. b. Pur
inton will be the Conductor. He gave
great satisfaction when he conducted
an Institute here few years ago
and will undoubtedly do so again.
We have examined the programme
somewhat carefully and find many
subjects which can not fail to be very
interesting and profitable if well
handled. A novel feature will be
School Officers Day. Wednesday,
when school officers will be invited
to take part in the discussion of sub
jects touching their work. Some of
the interesting subjects which will be
discussed during the week are Cur
rent History, School Libraries, Lit
erary Training, Music in School.
Free Text Books, Reform Schools
and Supplementary Reading.
The Conductor will be assisted by
Superintendent Morgan and others.
There will be music throughout the
week and interesting exercises at
night. Let not only all the teachers
of the county, hut also the officers,
friends and patrons Of our free schools
help to make the coming Institute a
decided success.
