ORANGE BLossoMs.-Married, Mch.
9Th, 1885, by Rev. Conway, at the
Kennedy House, in Mt. Morris, Pa,
Mr. Frank Cox to Miss Matte j.
Weaver, both of this county. The
ceremony was performed in the pres
ence Of only a few friends of the
parties in the Pennsylvania town.
Those present were Misses Edna and
Stella South, Della Weaver, Maggie
and Cora Donley and Lydia Kenne-
dy, and Messrs. Forney Donley,
Isaac N. Weaver and Mr.. Fox. AS
the early spring opens, giving new
strength and vigor to life, and the
genial rays of the sun seem to mol
lily the stern realities of this world,
and throw q hue of sentiment over
all, we can not wonder that our
young friends betook themselves to
our sister State to have that link
forged which forever sets the seal OF
happiness on their young lives. The
bride is the accomplished and fasci-
mating daughter Of Mrs. Margaret
Weaver, of West Morgantown. She
is a very cultivated and refined
young lady, and looked lovely in her
bridal attire Of steel gray silk. The
groom is well known to our people.
He is a son of Hon. II. L. Cox, OF
the West Side, and is young man
of rare attachments, he having ac-
qured perhaps as bright legal rep
utation as any man of his age that
ever began the practice of the pro-
fession in this county. Rarely do
we see two joined who have as bright
prospects for the future. May their
voyage over the sea matrimonial be
crowned with nothing but harmony,
peace and happiness is the wish OF
the writer. Our cornet band gave
the happy couple a splendid sere-
made at the Weaver House upon their
return. ~

UNIVERSITY REGENTS APPOINTED
BY GOVERNOR JAcKsoN.-The InteUi-
gencer of the 4th inst. says:
Yesterday Governor jackson ap-
pointed Everett w. Bedinger, Esq of
Jefferson county, and Prof. John M
Birch, of this county, as Regents of
the University at Morgantown. Mr..
Bedinger is an alumnus of the Uni
versity, engaged at present in the
newspaper business, and he is spoken
OF as a live, progressive man, who
will make good official; he is APP
pointed in place of Hon. Daniel B.
Lucas, of. Jefferson county. Prof.
Birch is appointed in place of DR.. A..
+. Stifel, of this city. He is splen-
did school man, as is attested by the
magnificent condition in which the
public schools of this city, of which
he is Superintendent, are to be found
to-day.
1t will be remembered that on Fri
day evening few hours before the
close of the session, 'the Senate went
into executive session for the pur-
pose of considering the question of
confirming the appointments as Re-
gents of the University that had been
sent in by the Governor. He had
named Messrs. Lucas and Stifel and
Capt. Bob McEldowney, of Wetzel
county. The Senate was in secret
session for several hours and the
general supposition is that there was
a stormy time. At any rate the ap-
pointments were not confirmed.
There is still vacancy in the Board
of Regents which Governor Wilson
will probably fill.

RAILROAD News AND NOTES.-The
management of the b. & o. are max
ing every preparation to push rapidly
the southern extension of their road
through to Morgantown as soon as
spring opens. Col. Moore has fol-
several weeks been in Uniontown,
buying rights of way about town and
south. We have no doubt the road
will be put under construction before
the SHOWS of another winter fall
Uniontoscn Standard.
The volume of travel to and from
Washington last week was tremend-
ous-greater than ever before, some
of the officers tell us; yet not an ac-
cident Of any consequence happened.
Superintendent Clements was in com
mand in person at Washington and
moved everything with perfect sys-
TEN.
AS much work as the weather will
permit is being done on the line be-
tween here and Fairmont. 1t will
not he many weeks until tracklaying
will commence.
According to the Inder the W.
Va. d Pa. has new lease OF life
1t was claimed that its charter had
expired. but an act of the Legislature
extended the time two years. Our
contemporary sincerely "hopes" that
the company will improve the Upper
tunity thus given and proceed to
build its road. The same paper
unqualifiedly announces that Nor
gantown will see the iron horse be-
fore the 4th of July.
1t is said that the railroad from
Kingwood to Tunnelton will be under
contract by April LIST. We hope it
may be true.
Capt. VIM. M. Clements said to a
reporter one day last week that he
hoped to have the F. NJ. & p. in OPP
Grafton in May. The extremely Sc
we're weather of the past winter has
retarded the work to n great extent.
Fosters contract on the F. M. d
P. is completed. The hands will all
be discharged in day or two.
FrizzelPs contract will be done as
soon as the siding for the depot at
Little Falls is completed.
Watt is pushing his ballast con-
tract The quantity of frost in the
rock has been great drawback in
breaking ballast.
The contractors next above Fritz
Zell are about to finish their work.
Eight or nine days will complete
the masonry of the Monongahela
bridge, and track laying will com
mence as soon as the superstruc-
ture can be put up.
1t is rumored that Capt Clements
will be over the line this week or the
first of next, on tour of inspection
preparatory to receiving the work
from the contractors

The SKATING Whittier goeth
man and whittier goeth woman-to
the rink.
The clergy seem to be ON skates
now, but not in the general accepta-
tion of the term.
Lieut.. w. S. Stuart acted in the
capacity of a supernumerary in the
"grand march" last Friday night
Lieutenant performed well his part
with the single exception Of a slight
hesitation enthusiastically.
Mr.. Geo. M. John made his first
appearance on skates last Friday
night. He felt so much at home
that he would sometimes skate on
one foot and at other times on neither
and when in the latter condition he
seemed to kick involuntarily at space
and of course he hit considerable
amount of it, His complicated evo-
lutions@s not infrequently brought
down the house as well as himself
1t appeared to be the general opinion
that he acquitted himself with credit.
Mr.. A. G. Boyd has arrived at a
marked degree of proficiency in the
skatorial art.
Beware! oh beware! not only of
the wine cup, but of Prickett on
skates.
Student C. F. Golf is very persist
ent in. his efforts to learn the art of
gracefully moving the lockwood.
Among the best lady skaters we
frequently hear mentioned Misses
Ankeny, Lizzie Moreland, Bessie
Finney, Bessie Wallace, Jenny Berk-
shire, Nettie Nye, Fannie Dering,
Eva Kiger, Lucy johnson, Annie
and Matte Campbell, Jennie and
Mary Semans, Mrs. G. w. McVicker,
Mrs. R. l.. Domain and Mrs. A. E.
Lazier.
Among the best gentlemen skaters
are Messrs. Will Morgan, Dick
Hayes, Will Basnett, Russell Hus-
ton, Will Kitchens and Henry Hayes.
A big man an skates-Wiu Hoff-
man.
Roller skating f1irtations: Lying
on the right side-My heart is at
your feet; standing on your nose-I
have no objections to mother-in-
law; lying on your back-Assist me;
two legs in the air-Mashed; one
skate in your mouth-Crushed
again; hitting the back of your
head with your heels-I am gone;
suddenly placing your legs horizon
tally on the floor like the letter v
l am paralyzed; punching your
neighbor in the stomach with your
left foot-Tm onto your little game;
backward flip Of the heels and
sudden cohesion of the knees to the
floor-May l skate the next music
with you?
"Some people are born cheeky,
some achieve cheek, and some have
cheek thrust upon them, but when
you come to whole face it is found
in the fellow who will let his girl go
to the roller rink alone, pay her own
admission and the rental for skates,
and half hour later lie comes up,
skates all the evening with her, and
then takes her home past two res
taurants without stopping, and then
wants her to kiss him at the gate"
None Of the Morgantown boys would
be guilty Of such conduct,

VIRGIL VANDERvoRT ELECTED
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT Tues
day last six of the eight Presidents
of the various boards of education of
the county met at Mr.. Willey's office
to select School Superintendent to
fill the unexpired term of Superin-
tendent Morgan. OF the six votes
Mr.. Thos. E. Hodges received three
and Virgil Vandervort three. After
number of ballots one of the Hold
ges men voted for Vandervort, thus
electing him. 1t seems that some of
the small politicians were dreadfully
afraid that Mr.. Hodges would be
selected on account of his eminent
fitness for the place, and were buz-
zing around like bees to prevent his
election: There were other appli-
cants for the position, but some of
the members opposed them bitterly,
giving their reasons very forcibly for
so doing.

soonest in this part of the State. As

are received the Board will advertise
for bids, and the building will be
pushed as rapidly as possible. Mr..
