IMPORTANT REAL ESTATE SALE
The OLD FAIR GROUND TO BE Cur
INTo BUILDING LoTs.-On Saturday
last the sale by A. L. Wade, it's
former owner of the old fair ground
to S. D. Hirschman and w. w.
Houston, was announced. The terms
have not been made public. These
gentlemen will have it surveyed at
once and divided into good sized
building lots, which they intend to
offer for sale at low figures. The
plat will show a handsomely laid out
addition to Morgantown, and that Sec
ton will soon be popular place for
residences. The purchasers say that
this enterprise is for the purpose Of
improving and charging the place,
and not to make money. They were
offered a handsome profit on their
investment by some gentlemen of
speculative tendencies, but declined
to sell. We learn that there is talk
of several residences being built
upon it in the coming spring and
summer, among them one for Mr..
Houston. There has long been com
plant of the scarcity and high
prices asked for building lots in and
around Morgantown, thus retarding
the growth of the place, but this it
seems is intended to solve the prob
lem, at least to certain extent. We
have no doubt that many residences
will be- built here soon, and some
thing like this was needed for a
starter. 1t is to be hoped that other
similar enterprises may be inaugu
rated. There is nothing like grit
and n little enterprise.

A SINGULAR CAsE.-The Philippi
Republican of late date says: "a
very singular case is reported from
Pennington. A young man by the
name of Mewyer had his leg ampu
tated from the effect of scrofula, and
when the leg was severed party
standing by was ordered to get box
and bury the severed limb. 1t was
not long till the other leg began to
give the boy pain, the leaders begin
ming to contract. The family was
told to examine the buried leg and
see lift was placed straight in the
box; it was found to be in a cramped
position. whereupon it was straight
ened and reburied. The boy has
been improving ever since. This re-
markable case is vouched for by
many good citizens besides Drs.
Curry and Finley"

A LITTLE GIRL BURNED TO DEATH.
"A little girl aged about six years,
daughter of Andrew Rumble, in
Greensboro, was fatally burned last
Thursday morning. She and a
younger sister were left in a room
while the mother went just outside
the house for few minutes, when
the clothing of the child took fire by
her too near approach to the open
crate, and she was horribly burned
before help arrived. The Younger
child tried to make known the dread
full condition of her sister, but was
too short to reach the door fastening,
and finally got stick, reached up
and raised the latch and alarmed
the mother. But it was too late, and
the little sufferer fingered till next
evening, when death put an end to
her agonies.- Wayncsburg Repubi-

The RAYMOND BoUGHNER CUTTING
AFFaAY-BRowN BoUGsNER Cur IN
SEVERAL PLAcEs.-The talk of the
town on Sunday night was the coils
ion between George Raymond and
Brown Boughner, in which the latter
received several cuts about the head
and had his coat cut in severs
places. 1t seems that the difficulty
arose on occount OF GOODNESS that
had sprung up between them since
Georges return from the west in the
fall, they having been friends before
that time. Brown alleges that for
same fancied affront Raymond an
nounced tlrat ''the matter might as
well be settled" and sailed into him
with a knife. The difficulty occurred
on DR.. Morris corner, and near DIR.
]. p. Fitch's office, where Brown was
Immediately taken to have his
wounds dressed. Four cuts were
found on his head--one ear having
been cut through and through about
the middle. None of the wounds
are at all dangerous, and he is out
again about as lively as ever. George
Immediately fled, but warrant was
issued and he was detained at Fair
mont until Monday evening, when
he returned to this place under the
escort of Deputy Sheriff Baily. The
same evening lie waived an examina-
ton before Squire Hayes, giving
bond for his appearance on Tuesday.
The hearing was further postponed
until Friday.

The Inauguration Of President
Cleveland, the first Democratic Pres
ident in twenty-four years, will take
place on Wednesday, March 4th.
On Thursday morning the Washing
ton Weekly Post will publish and
mail to its subscribers full account
of everything with illustrations, etc.
Thus it will be ahead of all Weekly
papers and week ahead of many of
them. The inaugural of President
Cleveland promises to be the grand
est for years and full account Of it
will be worth keeping. Those who
cannot attend should have the most
complete report to be had; that will
be found in The Washington Weekly
Post
The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1885-02-14

The observation-disclosures come
to us from all over the country of
preparations to attend the inaugura.
ton of President Cleveland.
There will be no doubt tens of thous-
ands of good old democrats there who
have not witnessed similar event
for more than a quarter of CEN
fury. They want to see the vic
tolic1s hosts Of the Democracy
who will be there-and they will
see them. All the railroads have
announced half fare rates giving
liberal time to visit the National
Capitol, see its places of interest,
witness the Inauguration and return
home in good time The largest ex-
cursion party that ever went from
this county will attend. A few of
those who have indicated their in
tention to go are: Major Martin, j.
J. Wharton, M. R. Barnes, j. Joseph,
S. D. Hirschman, VIM. Camp. R. S.
Lantz and wife, J. E. Fleming, Will
Lanham, SOL Frum, A. j. Corrothers,
Capt. u. M. Camp, Jos. Moreland,
A. L. Frum, j. w. Sterrett, F. T. Hay
mond, A. L. Nye and many others
whose names we have forgotten. We
believe that there will go from this
county between thirty and forty per-
sons. The New DOMINION suggests
that the entire party meet at Fair
mont on Monday and proceed to
Washington in body. What say
you all?

RAILROAD News AND NoTEs. We
learn that the B. d o. telegraph line
will be built to this place within the
the next few weeks. The poles and
wire have been bought and the work
of putting them up will be pushed
along with the approach of spring.
Work on the F.. N. & P. r. r. is
again being pushed actively forward.
The order has been sent out from
headquarters TO complete the grad
ing and bridges ready for ties and
rails by March lst, if possible. This
can be accomplished if the weather
is not too unfavorable. Twenty good
working days only, it is thought, are
required in which to complete the
river bridge piers for the superstruc-
tnre. The ice which went out Sum
day afternoon tore away the guys
that supported the derricks, but they
have since been replaced and work
on the piers resumed. The bridge
superstrueture was recently contract
ell for, and will be ready when want
ed. Altogether there is no reason
why the F.. M. & p. should not be
finished and the scream of the loce-
motive wake the echoes of the beau
tiful Monongahela valley this spring.

An official circular issued last
week announced that |. n. Kalbaugh
had been appointed master of ma
chinery of the Pittsburg division of
the Baltimore and Ohio road, the APP
pointment to take place on Monday,
February lst. His headquarters
will be at Glenwood, and he will
have charge Of all the employees in
the mechanical department. The
effect of the order was, of course, to
supersede j. E. Sampsell, and the an
neuncement was rather sudden and
surprising, no such action being sus
pected here. The new master me-
chanic was here yesterday and made
thorough inspection Of the shops.

The SKATING RINK TO BE OPENED
THURSDAY EvENJNG-GooD Music
AN ATTRACTIVE PRoGRAMME.-The
m,mmoth skating rink built by
Messrs. Beall q Beeson, of Union
town, on Walnut Street is receiving
the finishing touches to-day and will
be formally opened to the public to-
morrow evening. The cornet band
will furnish the music for the evening
Among other attractions will be a
company of about twenty five ladies
and gentlemen from Uniontown the
best skaters in the place. About
two hundred invitations have been
issued and a gay and lively company
may be expected. For weeks past
the rink has been all the talk among
the young folks and some of the
older ones. Halls, porches and spare
rooms have been turned into minia-
ture Kinks and the rumble of roller
skates could have been heard in every
street. Every one is on the qui viue
awaiting the opening. The novelty
will be great and the fun abundant
at the expense of inexperienced
skaters. The proprietors will make
the rink place that any one may go.
The floor manager is gentleman of
experience and is fully competent to
manage the rink in style not to of
fend the most fastideous. II will be
worth going to see whether you want
to skate or not. The building is a
mammoth affair having a floor sur
face of nearly 5000 feet. 1t will no
doubt soon become an attractive
place.
