ofciai de Santo Domingo (fecha
IS del pr6ximo pasado) yemos
que han estado Il pique de tener
complicaGones serias aque.la re-
publica y la de Haiti. La histo
ria de siempre.
Parece ser que el runor de que
Haiti habia rebasado Ia frontera
Y la equivocada Interpretation
que Sc diera en- Santo Domingo d
un envio de fusi!es hecho por eI
Gobierno haitiano a Font Liberte
habian causado en- la repdblica
dominicana gran excltaclon.
Todo ell mundo creia inminente
la guerra entire las dos repdblicas
de la antigua Epanola.
Por fortuna, el gobierno domi-
nicano envi6 a Haiti d un Dele
gado, el senior Garrido, quien tn
vo con ei Presidente haitiano Sa-
lomon extensa conferencia
Las explicaciones que di6 Salo-
mon a Garrido fueron bastantes
a desvanecer todo tenor de que
ira y las cosas volgieron d su
GAUGE.
Terminada la conferencia off
cial, ocurri6 10 que relata en- Ia.
siguientes lineas la Gaceta:
Despu9s de 10 cual, entreteni6ndo-
Sc Su Excelencia por mas de una hora
con ell Delegado, lie di6 las explicacio-
mes mas satistactorias respecto de las
medidas tomadas por ell Gobierno de
Haiti y que han servido de pretextos a
propagandas tendencies d ihquietar d
las dos Repdblicas. All mismo es-
plic6 Su Exceencia al Delegado el en-
VIC de tusiles hecho d Fort Llberte pa
Ia las tropas de este departamento, que
carecian completamente de e!los.
Faeron servidos refrescos. Su Exec
lencia brind6 por la fehcidad de la Re
pib.icl Dominicans, por la union de
los dos pueblos hermanos, y por la
conservation de Su Excelencia ell Pre-
sidente BiIlini sn Gobierno.
Ell senor Delgado briud6 por la pros
peridad de Haiti, por su progreso ma
terial y moral, por la felicidad de Su
Excelencia ell Presidente Salom6n. "
En- otra parte dice ell mismo
peri6dico:
:" Lejos esta el senior Presidente Sa-
lom6n de hostilizar a esta Rephblica.
Op6nense q clio tanto los sentimientos
de simpatfa que este pueblo lie inspira,
y de cuyas protestas hechas por el no
cabe dudar, como su manera de pensar
en- politica. Las siguientes palabras
pronunciadas por aquel Magistrado,
cuando hablaba con nuestro comisiona-
do Ell Sr. Garrido, asi 10 acreditan; "Yo
daria al mundo prueba de incapacidad
politica, 81 pensara, siquiera IN mo-
mento, en- h0stlllzar la hepuOllca
Dominicana.
Ell Gobierno cree y espera que ell
pueblo dominicano, ante las segurida-
des de paz dadas y las explicaciones
hechas por ell Gobierno de Haiti, aca-
lara las alarmas que ell patriotismo
excitado promovi6.
Como remate del asunto, la Ga
ceta publica tambien las comuni-
caciones que mediaron entire los
gobiernos dominicano y de Haiti.
Todo lleva al amino la compile
ia persuasion de que ha desapare-
cido, por entero, la inminencia de
la guerra que Sc presaglaba entire
ambos pueblos.
De todas veras 10 celebramos.

Come Toward a.Ad You Shall
BE Heard.

We invite citizens of town to use
the columns of the NEW DOMINION
for the discussion Of the ali import
ant subject Of water supply.
There is a very deep conviction
abroad in the community that some
thing ought to be done to improve
our water supply-its quality more
than its quantity. What that some
thing is must depend on the popular
will. Everybody, without exception,
is interested in this matter. Gener-
ally those who think themselves least
interested are the ones who are suf-
fering most from impure water.
There are many persons in this town
who, while they may believe every
body else's wells to be impure, are
confident that their own is not. Yet
an analysis Of the water would prob
ably show that it is simply diluted
poison, against the effects of which
the health of the family is continu-
ally struggling. 1t is the opinion
of our best physicians that the most
of the well-water of this town is
totally unfit for drinking purposes,
and this fact is being constantly
demonstrated.
Let our citizens move in this mat
ter. The columns of the New Do
MNIos are always open for the dis
cussion of subject of such general
importance.

A Had Lob.

The United States Custom and
Court House at Parkersburg, w. Va,
and the one at Charleston, w. Va,
have been completed about six years.
The Superintendent of Public Build
ings now reports each of these
buildings in tumble down condi-
ton. Of the Parkersburg structure
he says:
ION my Western trip stopped at
Parkersburg, w. Va, and inspected
the Custom House, Postoffice and
grounds. / am obliged to report the
same old story in reference to the
plumbing work, which is the worst
| ever saw. All will have to be re-
moved and new plumbing work put
in its place.
THE roof leaks badly. The
acoustics of the court room are ex-
tremely poor and unsatisfactory.
The grading of the grounds is out of
all proportion and turns the water
into the building instead of away
from it, and is destroying the foun-
dations. The area walls are bulg-
ing and in some places are ready to
fall. The iron fences are giving
away"
The report from Charleston is
equally discouraging. The Superin-
tendent recommends the appropria-
ton of about $4,000 to repair the
crumbling buildings.

Narrow Escape of a B. & o,
Passenger Train From
Disaster.

Some of the rods and cross
beams in the B. & 0. railroad iror
bridge at ohntown gave way last
Wednesday evening while the Chi
cago limited express was passing
over the structure, permitting the
bridge to drop down about six
inches. The train, which was
heavily laden with passengers,
made a narrow escape from being
precipitated into the Monongahela
river, a distance of forty feet.
When the train arrived here in
formation was telegraphed to
Grafton, and an extra engine with
men and material was Immediately
sent down to repair the bridge.
The east bound night express, due
here at gas P. NJ, was detained un
til o'clock A. NJ. before it could
cross the bridge. A force of men
is still at work strengthening the
structure. This bridge has, we
have been informed, been regarded
by many as unsafe for year OF
more, and should, as we believe,
be replaced by new, substantial
and more modern structure. II
this is not done it may become our
duty to chronicle horrible catas-
trophe at that point at some time
in the future.-lndex.

The "New Dominion. -

1t will not be immodest for us to
invite the critical inspection of our
readers to this issue Of the New
DOMINION.
We claim that this is the best
sample Of weekly newspaper ever
printed and issued in Monongalia
county. That is to say, in size, in
the amount of reading matter it con-
tains. both original and general, in
the typographical appearance, and
in the expense Of the paper to the
publisher and small the cost to the
subscriber, it has never been equalled
in Monongalia county, and in per
hsps no other county of the State
We publish the New DOMINION
for One Dollar and Fifty Cents q
year We challenge our readers to
find another paper in the State OF
the same size and amount of read
ing matter for less than two dollars.
OF course we except the weekly pa
pers that are issued from the daily
newspaper offices and made up of
matter that has been used in the
daily. These latter do not cost the
publisher as much as it does to pub
lish the New DOMINION.
1t will be observed that we publish
original matter on every page. We
give more than one dollar and a
half's worth of local news every
week. We give you reading enough
to last the casual reader a whole
week. We give you more for your
money than you get in any other
article that comes into your house.
Moreover we give you the only paper
that ever has been or is printed by
steam in this county. And that is
one reason why we give the cheap
est and best paper published in the
county.

AN INTERESTING CLIO.

UFFrSGroy, Dec. 14.-This town
is not large, neither is it handsome
ly situated, but it can boast of as
much pure nnadulterated, sticky
mud as any other town in any other
country.
l. n. Weaver has finished the
foundation for the depot at this
place, the tfestle work of the bridge
is finished and the way is now cleaI
for the track and we are "only
waiting"
At this time the track is finished
one mile below the Little Falls, and
they are four miles from this place
and actually coming this way.
John Kinsley is getting out back
ballast for the F., NJ. & P. R. r.
B. c. Wilson has begun his school
at No. IL with an enrolment of As
Some one said there were not enough
scholars on the ridge for a school.
The Swisher Bros. have gone to
townsville to help bring the trestles
for the bridge at Cobun's creek
The trestles for the Decker's creek
bridge will follow in a few days.
One of the Italions placed his bed
too near the fire Saturday night and
in the night it caught fire and came
near burning him up. He lost all
his clothes and six dollars in money
and had it not been for Will
Drake the house would have been
burned too.
Died, Saturday Dec. IL, 1885,
Mrs. Mary Kiger, wife of LEROY
Kiger, aged 81. She had been sick
for almost a year with something
like cancer of the stomach and dur
ing all these weary days had suffer
ed terribly, yet she never complained
and always seemed bright and
cheerful to those who visited her.
All was done for her that medical
science and kind friends could do,
but she grew gradually worse until
death relieved her suffering. She
was kind, gentle and loving wife
and mother, an obliging neighbor and
a friend to ALL She leaves hus-
band and three children to mourn
her loss. How sadly they will miss
her. "What is home without a
mother"
