FLEMING-Mrs. Flora J. Fleming,
wife of the editor of the New DoNIN-
ION, died at her home in this place
on Thursday, January 2Sth, 1886,
aged rs years, months and 8 DAYS.
Mrs. Fleming's death was not I'M
expected, yet we were unprepared
for the shock. 1t is hard to realize
that loved ones have gone from you
until it is experienced; yet there is
comfort in believing there are no
mistakes and no wrongs in the prov
licences of God. There is comfort in
believing that the precious woman
whose death we announce in sorrow
and tears is with her Saviour. II
she is not, religion is myth and the
Bible a fable.
Her life was one of consistency.
To know her was to love and esteem
her. She was loving and true as a
wife, affectionate as sister, kind to
all. She was the light of her home
now desolate. -a-s
The sufferings of her fellow NOR
tails touched her. She was always
ready to do for those who were less
fortunate than herself. and she leaves
the memories of many little acts of
unostentatious kindness. Her life
was humble but gemmed with vir-
tues.
She rests in peace Her soul is
WITT Him who gave it.

BURIAL OF FIVE OF THE DEAD MINERS.
Special Correspondence to the New Dominion.
INDEPENDENCE, W. Va, Feb. l.
Our little town is gradually assum-
ing her old ways once again. The
citizens are resuming their work,
which was put aside to a certain ex-
tent during the terrible disaster at
Newburg. The miners who worked
land lost their iives) in the shaft at
Newburg, from this place, were Jocob
Weaver, Alvey Weaver, Will Sands
bury and William and Frank Lamire,
who live near this place. Jacob and
Alvey Weaver's remains were inter
red in the Weaver family graveyard,
about five miles from here. Jacob
Weaver leaves wife and five chill
dren, besides many other relatives.
This family are thrown upon their
own resources to provide a living.
Alvey Weaver was unmarried. His
funeral was preached last Sunday
by Rev. b. B. Evans. Jacob Weaver
was one of the converts of the late
meeting held at this place. Will
Sandsbury's remains were taken to
Grafton for interment. He leaves a
wife and three small children to be
provided and cared for. William
and Frank Lamire's remains were
inferred at the Bethel graveyard.
The protracted meeting which we
spoke of in our last letter has been
suspended during the disaster at
Newburg, but is expected to com
mence soon again.
j. L. Howard is visiting friends
and relatives at Burton.
Mr.. and Mrs. L. Evans, of Chilli

ARRESTED FoR BURGLAKY.-On
Wednesday of last week Philip Shut
Ellsworth, of Clinton district, this
county, was arrested at Little Falls
by Sergeant Slime on a charge of
burglary. Not long since he was in
Beaver Falls, Pa, and it is charged
that while there he, in company with
some others, broke into a store and
carried away goods, DC. Shuttles-
worth was brought to Morgantown
and lodged in jail, but was SO conf
dent that trial would free him
from all suspicion that he expressed
himself willing to go to Beaver Falls
without waiting for a requisition
from the Governor of Pennsylvania,
and he is there cow. He says that
he was asked to join the gang but
that he refused to have anything to
do with the business. This is one
side Of the story. 1t is to be hoped
that it is perfectly correct.

The FIRST LADY TO Pass OVER
OUR New ROAD CANE on A NOBLE
ERRAND.-Miss Jennie Smith, the
evangelist, was the first lady to pass
over the railroad being constructed
between Fairmont and Morgantown.
She made the trip on her visit to
that place last week to hold evan
gelic meetings. The b. IL o. Off
Gals, who have the most profound
regard for Miss Smith, learning Of
her contemplated visit to Morgan
town, furnished her with a palace
car, and number of the officials
accompanied her. This incident
may prove to be quite a memorable
event in the history of Morgautown.
The first lady who passed over their
new road, went in the interest of
immortal souls and the development
of the better nature of man. God
honors her in doing his work, and
she meets with success wherever she
goes Waynesburg Ind.

THE UNIVERSITY.
Doings and Sayings at the w. w.
BY OUR REGULAR REPORTER.


The Joint committee of the liters-
nv societies was in session all fore
noon Thursday with President Tur-
ner, framing rules for the govern
ment Of the joint committee in its
meetings and rules and regulations
for contests between the societies
These rules were presented to the So
cieties at their meeting Friday
night and approved.
Professor Harvey conducted his
first half-yearly examination of the
junior French class last week.
The new books for the library
have been received and are arranged
on the library shelves. The selec-
tions are good. The kind of works
that predominant are biographical,
scientific, theological and historical.
Fiction doesn't have any show at all
in the selections. The only book of
fiction we think of now among them
is "A Bachelors reveries." 1t is usu-
aliy the case that large number
of the students read almost nothing
but fiction Books of history,
biography and science are left on
the shelves to be covered with dust
while the novel is read till the bind
ing is worn-till il almost falls to
peices and has to be replaced by a
new volume. If this new selection
of books will in any degree correct
this taste, good work viii have
been done.
Again does the election contest of
one of the societies wax warm. Even
now, more than month before the
election of officers will take place,
almost as much campaign enthusi-
asm is rife as Ben Butler stirred up
when he was elected President. Al
ready, tits said, their "lyin'" has
gone out through all the University.
The law class were royalty enter
tanned by Professor and Mrs. Brooke

Views and Interviews.

al never saw a better set of young
men together" said President Tur-
ner yesterday, in speaking OF the
University. I'VE have had occasion
to administer but very little discip-
line, and only one young man has
been called before the faculty during
the year Another thing encourages
us very much, and that is the favor
able tone and spirit of the state
press. | expect to attend the next
meeting of the press association, and
do what ! can to present to their no
tice the merits and demands of the
University. A few such
high schools as that soon to be es-
tablished at Piedmont through the
munifcence of Henry G. Davis,
would become fruitful feeders of the
University and greatly build up the
educatiol interests of West Virginia.
Don't you think that Clarksburg
would be good site for an academy
of similar kind?'
mo doubt of it. An academy used
to flourish there, but the war broke it
up."
IS
A very observing gentleman who
dates his letters from Arnettsville,
said to the New DOMINION the other
day; Have you noticed how many
crimes have been committed recently
under the guise of religion? | don't
mean that religious people committed
these crimes, but that they profess
to be very pious in order to deceive
the unwary. Look at Downs,
Of Boston, and Armstrong, lately of
Wheeling, but now of Atlanta"
Then he mentioned two or three
instances of a similar nature in this
county, and added, IAN open erimi-
nal is not half as despisable as a
sneaking hypoerite"
A Spruce street gentleman is re-
sponsible for the statement that
Morgantown has greater number
of pretty hired girls than any other
town, small or great, within radius
of five Thousand miles And we be-
lieve he is right. And it is worth
mentioning in this connection that
they dress with neatncss, modesty
and good taste, and in addition to
the trick of knowing how to look
well they also know how to cook a
dainty dish and set house in order
80
One of the best of the hundreds
of good things said by Miss Jennie
Smith during the past three weeks,
is this: God helping me, as long
as | live, ] will use every power to
uphold and defend those who are be
ing crushed down and down by the
foul tongue of SANDER"
If there were more people of that
disposition. and fewer vulture-likc
feeders ON carrion, the world would
be more civilized, not to say any
thing of being Christianized.
So
Miss Jennie Smiths declaration
that she has never been in any other
town or city in her life an equal
length of time to which she became
SO warmly attached, is certainly very
complimentary to Morgsntown, and
is one more evidence of the kindli-
ness and hospitality Of our people.
So
Col. Evans expressed it well this
morning when he said Speaking of
the effect of the railroad upon the
development Of Morgantown) 1--WE
have all to gain and nothing 10 lose.
Our growth will be steady and
sure

Social Events.

Professor Brooke gave Il dinner
party to the young men of his law
class ON last Saturday afternoon.
The class, consisting of Messrs. w.
H. Baker, Jr., Fast, Ollie, Geo. c..
Baker, Boyd, Dawson, Musgrave,
Boyers, Robinson, Dupuy and Wilson
was present with the exception of
Messrs. Fast, Ollie and Dupuy.
Promptly at half past two o'clock
the party retired to the dining room
where, with a zeal peculiar to stu
dents, they assisted the groaning
table to get rid of its burden. So
fast did time fly under the brilliant
conversational powers of Professor
and Mrs. Brooke, that it was time for
departure before any of the party
were aware of it. Many things of
the kind have occurred before, but
the class are unanimous in saying
that it was the most enjoyable af-
fairs they have ever attended.
81 One OF THEM.
Mr.. Joseph Keener, of the West
Side, gave a very pleasant din
ner party on Monday to Miss Jennie,
Smith, Presiding Elder j. f. Cheno-
weth and Rev. Mr.. Crawford. The
board was spread beautifully. and
the little evangelist, and the good
clergymen gave evidence of diges-

Miss Smith and Mr.. Crawford
were also entertained at dinner on

supper at Mr. L. NJ. Gregg's. At
both places nothing that could have
been desired was forgotten.
