Special 10 lAs Register.
MoRGAETowS, August 24.-Arrsngemens
for cur centennial celebration are being
made. The Central Committee get in some
good work few days ago. They prepared
q programme for the centennial ex ,rcise',
which was printed in our local papers in
their last issue. 1t calls for orators, poets
and historians, all of which are the product
of Morgantown. The exercises on
the first day are entirely
of a literary character. The second and
last will be devoted mainly to the grand
procession and good time generally.
The most striking feature of the pro
gramme is the assignment Of sixteen sub
ices to the same number of prominent cit
izens of the town on which essays will be
prepared for publication. This will GER
iainly afford any one desiring TO know the
history of Morgantown an opportunity to &C
quire it.
The Central Committee has also author

of transportation to all who may desire to
attend the Centennial. This Of course,
presupposss fhststhe. railroad win be com
pleted to this point by that time. One can
easily see that the whole affair is beginning
TO assume a shape. Centennial is now be-
ing talked not only by the few but
by the many. 1t is now the
general topic for discussion BY the
people of the country. No longer is any
one heard to doubt that there will be 3
grand time at Morgsutown on the 18th and
18th Of next OctoOer, but all accept it as q
fact, and are beginning to make arrange
ments accordingly.
The Teachers Institute of this COUNT
will meet here to-day at p. m. 1t will be
conducted by Prof T. E Hodges, who has
been engaged in this kind of work for sev,
eral weeks past. 1t is expected that large
number of teachers will attend. Quite an
educational revival is anticipated.

VINCE,NEs ND, August 24.-Ths
Clsrke-VorAis murder of last Monday is still
the topic oS general conversation. The e
Is a straD ge coincidence in connection with
youpg VoriiS, the particulars Of which were
made public yesterday. Norhis lived at
Farmland aear Winchester, Cor a number
of years. a few years ago YOrhis' sister
VAS murdered by her brsbsRd William
Burroughs 1t seems that Horhis was the
only witness to the bloody tragedy, and his
testimony sent Burroughs, his brotherin-
law, to the 2enitentiary for Life. Burroughs
always swo7e that Vorhis testified falsely in
the case. Phe second murder osthe family
was that in, which Vorhis lost bis life last
Monday night, and, singrlArly enough, only
eight houcs after Vorhis died Burroughs
hreathed his last in the penaentiary at
Michigan City. Burroughs remains we're
inferred near Winchester the day after
Vorhis was buried.
