Prof. White in MARYLAND.

Prof. l. c. White. of the University
of West Virginia, and geologist fol
that State, has been for the past few
days engaged in an examination Of
the mineral deposits on the property
of the Union Mining company at Mt
Savage, in this county. Having
completed that work, the Professor
last night returned to his home al
Morgantown. In advance of his re-
port to the company it can ouly be
said that extensive improvements
and large developments of this val
liable property are shortly to be made
The advice and opinion of Prof
White has greater weight than that
of any geologist in the East He il
West Virginian by birth, educa
ton and application, and by his skill
and energy is doing more to develop
that State than any man in it. Per
sonally he is a most courteous gen,
tleman, one whom it is q pleasure tS

Our only complaint is that we are

great luxury will be delayed beyond
the season when we would enjoy il

never be SO ecstatic as if it had come

New Mail Carriers

On July1 there were several changes
made in the custodians of Uncle

notable change was that of the Fair

is giving good mail service, the time
of arriving and leaving being same as
formerly. George M. Grub carries
the mail to Dellsloh, Lewis S. Hayes

DISTINGUISHED Visitors.

"A special Train on SUNDAY DrOuSu'
to our town some distinguished rail
road officials, capitalists, DC. At
tached to the train was the private
car of Mr.. Thomas M. King, Vice
President of the B. & o. Railroad

Mr.. King, Mr.. G. de B. Keim, Di
rector Of the road, Mr.. w. G. Auden
reid, of Philadelphia, and Mr.. J. B
Mcdonald, of Baltimore, and Lieut.
r. M. G. Brown, U. S. Navy. The
party were joined at this place by
Mr.. j. L. johnson, of Pittsburg.
Mr.. King is looking after the in
terest of the B. & o. R. r. in this
section of the country and is warmly
in favor of pushing the F., M. q p
road northward from this place. Ir
this of course he desires and expects
hearty cooperation and encourage
ment from our people which he will
undoubtedly have. Messrs. Auden
reid, Keim and Mcdonald are capital
lists and may be induced to take 6
hand in developing Monongalia's rich
stores of hidden wealth.
In the afternoon the gentlemen
were taken out the Ices Ferry road
as far as Reiner's to get view o.
the country. They were accompa

Ordination.

A council convened in the Stew
artstown Baptist Church, on Thprs-
day morning, June 20. Prof d. B.
Purinton, LII. D., was chosen Presi-
dent, and w. f. Powell was made
the Secretary. Rev. j. E. Darby,
the pastor, presented the church
record and other facts connected with
the call of the council. The object
was to consider the propriety of or
daining Bro. L. M. Jaco to the full
work of the ministry. Eight church
es were represented by twenty per-
sons. The candidate was presented
by the pastor, and gave statement
of his Christian experience and call
to the ministry; after this very
careful and searching examination
was conducted by the chairman, as
sisted by almost, if not every mem
Der of the council, on Bible doctrine.
Three full hours were spent in this
way. The council held private
session, and the vote to ordain was
unanimous. The ordaining services
were held at night, as follows.
The scriptures read by the Rev.
A. B. O'Neal, of Mapletown, Pa;
Opening Prayer, by Rev. Edward
Price of Morgantown; Sermon by
the Rev. S. A. Smith, of Grafton
Ordainhg prayer by the Rev. w. E.
Powell; Hand of Fellowship, by the
Rev. j. E, Darby, of Morgantown
Charge to the Candidate, by the
Rev. W. Cattle, of Smithfeld, Pa;
Benediction by the candidate. Bro.
Jaco is young man, about twenty
two years old. Has been student
in the State University for some
time, and has made a good record as
far as he has gone. He will spend
two years yet in this school before
he will graduate. He has been
preaching for some time for the
church at Old Frame, Pa, and will
now be recognized as it's pastor.
The congregations were large during
all of the three sessions and seemed
to be much interested in all that was
done. The entire session of the
council was unusually interesting
and pleasant to all of the members.
Bro. Jaco enters upon his work with
many things to encourage him.

A few days ago the largest well
yet struck In the MonongaliA oil
field came in on the farm of VIM.
Core and is producer to the extent
of 500 barrels daily. This IL the
fourth we'll that has come in, but
from now on they win come In In
more rapid succession than formerly
as the boring of many Of them has
been in progress for several weeks.
This Core well has made the de
mand for territory and leases greater
than before and has sealed the cous
fidence of the operators in the sub
stantial character of the Monongalia
field, as they now term it, 1t is es
timated that the number Of rigs now

Any one who is familiar with the
country can tell by the list Of names
just how much of the territory is at
present being developed. There's
really no foundation for prophecy

of representing an oil well and ut the
present rapid rate Of putting up rigs
it will be almost safe To say that with
in the next year VIC will have in Mo

The greatness of the production
is surprise to every one. M onr

Meeting Of the School Board.

The Board of Education held a
meeting on Monday evening of this
week, but the only business of i'm
portance that was transacted was
the auditing and allowing of the old
accounts, the duration of the coming
school year and the salaries of the
teachers and the election of officers.
1t was expected that the teachers
would be elected, but that was post
poned till next Friday night. T.
Pickenpaugh was elected President
and A. Fairchild Secretary. There
will be eight months of school and
the teachers are to receive $35 pei
month, the principal to receive $40
A contract will be let on Friday
evening for fitting the school build
ing for gas.

Barn Burned.

On Tuesday night of last week
the old house which had recently
been fitted up for barn on the farm
of Mark Weaver, near Stumptown
was totally destroyed by fire. In
the house was stored moving ma.
chine, hay rakes, plows and gen
eral supply of farming implements
and the loss is estimated at $500
no insurance. 1t was clearly the
work of an incendiary. No une saw
the fire and the smouldering ruins
were discovered by son of John
Brand as he was on his way to work
the following morning Mr.. Weaver
has no idea in the world who could
have done him this great injury, as
he says he did not know he had an
enemy. The scoundrel could and
should be caught and given the full
limit of the law in the institution al

POSTMASTER NYE's salary has
again been raised and that gentle
man now gets the snug sum of 81, 300
per annum for his services. The
business of Morgantown has steadily
increased in the last four years, at
that time the salary being only 81,
100 per year. The increase in the
business has been marked this year.
Inside of two years, we venture the
assertion the business done here
will justify a $500 salary. She's
on the move.
CAPT. 0. p. JoLLIFFE, of Clinton,
received a snug little sum in back
pay last week. Having secured
pension he began to receive regu-
lar monthly allowance of 1922 in
April of this year. He should have
received pay from April 1885, and
few weeks ago wrote to Commission
er Tanner to that effect Last week
he received his answer with $3.50
back pay. We congratulate the gen
ial captain than whom no veteran is
more deserving Of a streak of good
fortune.

The developments since our last
issue regarding water works have not
been either startling or numerous, the
work proceeding in good shape as in
dictated in these columns. Last week
the work Of digging the trenches for
the street mains was begun. At the
corner of Spruce and Peasants was
the starting point and the work con-
tinues north on Spruce The pipe
had previously been laid along the
streets and alleys of the town ready
to be put in the trenches. Tuesday
several lengths of pipe were buried
on Spruce street. On this street
only has any trench digging been
done as yet and when it is finished
Front street will be dug up next,
then Main, then Walnut, &c, till the
entire town is finished.
The gravity line is by no means
finished, and the workmen have been
taken from it to build the dam at the
springs, which dam is for the pur-
pose of putting the water of the hun
dred and one springs into one i'm
mense body and thus make the sup
ply which is to furnish Morgantown
perennial. The location for the
reservoir has not been definitely de-
termined upon as yet, but it is
likely that il will be built on the
Rogers hill, across the ravine from
the residence of Prof Purinton.
The building of water works
system is an immense contract and
considerable time will yet elapse be-
fore we will be enjoying the luxuries
of the pure mountain water. When
the work first begun it was thought
by at least August | it would be
completed, but the completion of the
system need hardly be looked for be-
fore October l. We will have
the water by that time and will be
satisfied. In the meantime those
who care for interesting sightseeing
can take in the building of water
works. 1t is now going on in great
earnest right here and is one of the
many important factors that will
metropolitanize Morgantown. With
gas and water works we can surely
hold our heads high. One we have
and the other is coming, slow per-
haps, but emphatically sure.

will be sold in Monongalia and Ma
rion counties this summer and fall

ton concerning their quality and
cheapness. Mr.. Horrors reputation
as a square and liberal merchant
will insure fair dealing to our far
mers. He wants all farmers to con
suit him before placing their orders

The Ball Game at Fajrmont,

A large majority of the sporting
fraternity of this place went to Fair
mont on the Fourth TO witness the
game of ball, Fairmont and Wheel
ing having crossed bats that day.
The day was most propitious for a
contest in the national pastime and
crowd variously estimated at from
700 to 1000 assembled to see the
game. The Fairmont club was com
posed of five of their home players,
and John and Nate Kiger, Henry
Hayes and Grove O'Kelley, of this
place. Wheeling had their best
amateur club. Hayes and N. Kiger
were the battery for the home club,
and held their positions behind the
bat and in the box the entire game
through without change. John
Kiger played on first and O'Kelly
shortstop. The home club came to
the bat first and succeeded in max
ing four runs before the side was re-
tired. Wheeling's twirler for the
first inning was not in the box any
more after the end of the first, as he
was batted all over the field. The
game was hotly contested through
outand it was beyond any ones pow
ers to decide at any time in whose
favor the game would end, but Kiger
soon warmed up to his work, was
caught well by Hayes, and the Nail
City fellows would fan the air in great
shape, the end of nine innings show
ing victory for Fairmont by score
of 8 to g. OFF of Kiger 7 base hits
were made; off of Wheeling, 16 which
shows the batting qualities of the
home team and the excellence of
Kiger's work. The home team had
never played together before, but
they soon understood each other and
showed beautiful game to the many
interested spectators who took in the
sport. In fact old base ballists up
there said it was the prettiest game
ever played at that place. Our boys
were much elated over the victory
and spoke in high terms ofthe splen-
did manner with which they were
treated by the Mountain City boys.
On the goth inst. another game is
to be played between the same clubs
at the same place which will likely
be as hard fought battle as the one
on the Fourth. We predict victory
for the Fairmont- Morgantown COM
bination.

Meeting OF the Directors Of the w. Va

Fairmont Index.


The directors of the West Virgin
la and Pennsylvania railroad met in
the Office of the Company in this
place last Wednesday, nearly the full

here were President Lowndes, Col

burg, VIM. Hood and Benz. Lowe, Of

town, 7. F. Watson, Opekiska, Smith
Hood, Louisville, and the local di.
rectors. The object of the meeting
was to take some action in regard
to the bonds issued by the County
Court Of Harrison county. 1t seems
that some of the people of Harrison
county became alarmed by the re-
port that the County Court intended
to give the bonds to the Mononga-
hela River road and petition signed
by 1900 of the citizens of that coun-
ty has been presented to the Court,
praying the County Court to cancel
the bonds. This petition was the
cause of the meeting of the directors
as we understand it, and the Board
by resolution placed the whole
matter in the hands of President
Lowndes and gave him full power to
act. We think the action of the
people of Harrison county hasty and
ill-advised. This section needs a
line of road to compete with the
Baltimore & Ohio now as much as
it ever did. 1t seems hard enough
to induce the building of such line
with the inducements offered by
Marion and Harrison counties, but
take away those inducements and
the matter will be deferred indefinite
ly. We hope the County Court of
Harrison county will be very eau
tious in any action they may take.
A misstep by them might do great
injury to the cause that lies nearest
the prosperity of this valley.
