A Camper Drowned,

A company of South Side Pitts
burg glass blowers had their fishing
camp on the Monongahela, neal
Crows Ferry, and on Friday one OF
their members, John Garlock, aged
% and unmarried, was drowned. He
went into the water waist deep with
his clothes on, when suddenly throw
ing up his hands he exclaimed, 81
am gone" and disappeared. His
companions who were some distance
away thought he was jesting and
had dived, but as he did not reap
pear they searched for him and soon
found his lifeless body. 1t is sup
posed that apoplexy was the cause
of his disappearing in the water. Al
inquest was held and verdict o.
accidental drowning rendered. His
remains were sent to Pittsburg fol
interment. The drownings are toe
frequent among parties who encamr
in this Observation-Disclosures O
LIBERTY.

Youth, Beauty and Old Age.

The first of the jolly and thrilling
crowds of over Cheaters came to
town with Mr.. Franks in hacks last
Friday, and after buying up all the
chewing gum and cigarettes in town
the whole affair stopped at Bert
Lazier's, and we, being at Maddy
Reeds, turned our bald head and
wrinkled visage to learn from whence
issued the sound of music sweeter
than ere blew through the whiskers
of an eolian harp. Perched daintily
on the seats of the carriages were
the girls, boys and Mr.. Franks pic
turesquely arrayed in summer cos
tunes for their outing at the Glenn
moor. There were symphonies in
blue, visions in white and sugges-
tions in pink, while peals of silvery
laughter went right to our heart,
making sad havoc of our arterial
system. Our bashful and timid self
was half carried and half dragged
to where all this beauty was congre-
gated and given regulation knock
down to the party. They, like one
of our home parties, do business I'M
der the firm name and title of "Hi-
larity Club" and while they related
to us the charms of Cheat and dis
coursed on the genuine enjoyment
of stay in that locality, we were
also given to understand that there
could be nothing in all this wide,
wide world that could compare with
getting into hack load of these
handsome gay misses with mild blue
eyes and cheeks that would put the
rose to blush. Not even going to a
country "spellin' skule" in a big
sled full of these happy creatures
all tucked away so nicely under the
robes, or any other species of the
genus good time. 1t might be said
right here that this party is from
Williamsburg, Pa, and was gotten
up by our friend Lee St. Clair, and
so our boys felt a great interest in
them. All the old boys were on the
scene and wanted to be well ac-
quainted. Johns was the first one
and walked down to meet them, for
getting to put on a collar. Dukes
venerable hairs were visible Hayes
dropped everything and made for
'em. Bernie didn't say much to
them, but we never saw him looking
better. Maddy was also looking re-
markable. Tom flung away three
insurance policies and was straight
way on the, scene, and Dick was dy-
ing to get into tall timber. The
wagons were delayed, thanks to Mr.
Franks, till Joe Miller and George
Baker got their fantastic mugs
shaved. 1t was great day for all
these old fellows and the young
misses, too. The party is still on
Cheat, and are as fine people as can
be found in the whole world.

A Relic Of the Ferties.

A few days ago the employees oil
the Improvement Company while Elk
cavating for the water pipes in front
of the Carraco building came upon a
piece of half decayed poplar wood
and the spot where it was found was
at once recognized by Sperry Shis.
Ter as that on which the Wing pole
stood in the celebrated political con
test of 1874.
In that year the immortal Clay
was the candidate of the Wings and
James X. Polk was the candidate OF
the Democrats. The old Carraco
house since remodeled for a business
house was then hotel and was kept
by Mr. John Dering. the father of
+. W. S. Dering and Jno. S. Dering.
The contest was "red hot" in Mo
nongalia, immense mass meetings
being held by both parties. And OF
the great Wing barbecue which is
remembered to this day by the older
citizens, cannon was being fired
which burst and blew off the hand
of one of the men engaged in firing it.
The question was then whether
the great state of Texas should be
annexed. Polk was elected by the
Democrats; Texas was admitted as
State, and the As years that have
elapsed show the wisdom of the dem
ocratic party of that day.
The democracy still lives but the
wing party has long since gone out
of existence. The little block of de-
cayed poplar wood exhumed serves
as reminder of the mutability of hu-
man affairs; and that that mutability
extends to political parties as well
as to persons; to things animate as
well as inanimate.
Matt. Larkin, the gentlemanly
boss kindly presented the New Do
MINIoN a piece of the resurrected
flag pole for which he has our thanks.

We will Have it When Others viii Not.

A very eminent geologist, who is
employed by the Philadelphia Gas
Company, which furnishes Pittsburg
consumers with gas, has been here
for several days and has taken in all
the points of our gas fields. He says
that there will be gas here when
it is exhausted everywhere else, not
only on account of the large deposits
from which our supply is drawn, but
mainly from the fact that the de-
posits are located at a great distance
from the great centres of consump-
ton. He does not think that it is
probable that Pittsburg will ever
get any of the gas we are using, as
for years to come she can be accom-
modated with her present fields and
by that time there will be too many
other uses for our gas. He says that
if an old citizen were to leave this
place now and remain away for four
years, he would not know the town
in that time as the change for the
better would be so great. The gas
will figure as the prime cause for the
change that is to be wrought. The
New DOMINION ventured the humble
plea that for some time past we had
had the gas and still nothing very
great had transpired, and was met
with the reply that there were more
people in the eastern cities at the
present time with intentions of in
vesting money here in various ways
than any one would believe; that the
prosperity we had wished for our
place was just now turning over be-
fore awaking and that its eyes would
be fairly open in due time.
Morgantown people have also
awakened and are at last making
efforts toward the permanent i'm
provement of the town and the de-
velopment Of our resources. There
is considerable new life manifest and
our great progress is now certainty
in the near future.

In conversation with one Of the
leading cattle dealers Of this county
yesterday we learned that he had
just bought some of the best cattle
ever shipped from here at s4 cents
per pound. The lot averaged LOO
pounds per head. Last year he
bought lot from leading grazier
about as good for which he paid ~
cents. The seller bemoancd the fact
that he must sell such fine stock at
the low figure of ~ cents, but said
1t was all he hoped TO get under
Cleveland's free trade administration.
He also informed the buyer that
should Harrison be elected the good
old times of Republican rule and
protection would be restored and
then he would get a good price for
his cattle say 8 or 81. The cam
paign progressed and the grazier
talked Republicanism, good times
and protection" as inevitably go
ing hand in hand, and waxed wroth
when any Democrat mildly intimated
that there was possioiitty ne
might be mistaken. Well, Harrison
was elected and now the farmer in
stead of receiving an advance Of 20
per cent for cattle actually gets
about 80 per cent less. This Is the
kind of protection" the farmer gets
on his cattle Another kind Of pro
lection" the farmer gets is this: On
almost every article he buys for the
use OF hts family or for his farm he
pays from rs to 100 per cent in tar
i'll, from the clothes that are ON his
back to the most trifling article of
hons ehold use, including his sugar,
aalt. all articles made of iron, his
leather, hts blankets and even his
Bible. Yes this protection" If a
great boon to the Am erican farmer.

Miss Roemer was up to her usual
high standard. Miss Reynolds and
Miss Ogden were Mrs. SIS pupils
during the school year just past at
Broaddus College, the former still
taking lessons here. Miss Ogden
came here from her home in Fair
mont, by her teachers special re-
quest for the express purpose of ia
king first part in this musicale
The selection was most happy one
and all were delighted with the mas
terry that this fair young songstress
has over the difficult selection which
she rendered on this evening. Her
voice is rich and mellow and the
high notes are made without visible
effort in strong and clear soprano
that would win for her distinction in
the most critical assemblage. Cul-
tivation has surely not been lost on
her voice and the simple mention OF
her name will always be sufficient to
draw a crowd here.
This concert shows that the stand
ard of music has been elevated here
We are the gamers of this, as singers
of ours have been brought out re-
Gently that were not known to sing
before. Morgantown people will APP
preciate the good work that has
been done by Mrs Silverthorn.

Mrs. SilYerthorn,s Musicale.

Quite large audience assembled
at the Methodist Church, Monday
evening to hear the musicale by Mrs.
Silverthorn and few of her schol-
ars. The performances we're all
creditable, while some were very ar
tistic. There were a few who had
only taken lessons for a very
short time who did well. In reci-
tai by large class of scholars one
does not expect that each number
should awaken echoes from the
angels, but it is more the object to
mark improvement in beginners than
to criticise All showed that the
instruction received from the compe-
tent teacher had been beneficial and
many in the audience were really
surprised with the ability of some
who had never tried to sing at all
before taking lessons this time. Mrs.
Silverthorn, as always, pleased her
hearers. Below is the

THE OATH TAKEN.
Chief Justice Fuller Administers tho
Solemn Obligation.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 4.-The
ceremonies in tine Senate Chamber con-
cluded, came the most solemn and posing
event of the day. In a driving rain-storm
were countless thousands of citizens of the
Republic. cheering and shouting the name
of the President. From one end of the East
front of the long and stately Capitol was to
be seen dense mass of umbrellas, while i'm
medlately about the inaugural platform
great numbers of people were packed in an
unmovable mass exposed to the rain. The
crowd in the streets kept up constant cheer.
ing, shouting the name of II arrison and
'four, four four years more
1t was nearly o'clock when the process
sion from the Senate appeared at the doors
of the rotunda. President Cleveland and
President-elect Harrison, walking side by
side, took their places in a small enclosure
erected in the center of the front of
the stand. Such members of the Senate,
diplomatic corps and of the House OF Rep
resentatives and number of other officers
Of the Government as cared to endure the
rlgors of the elements then came on in
body. When the crowd saw the President
there arose an uproar like the rushing of the
waters of Niagara. The cheering was re-
oewed again and again. and it was not until
President Harrison had several times raised
his hand for silence that order was restored.
SWEARING IN THE PRESIDENT.
When the cheering ha d partially subsidized
Chief Justice Fuller arose and barring his
abundant white locks to the rain held q Bible
in his right hand ready to administer the
path OF office. Gen. Harrison and Sergeant-at-
Arms Canaday also removed their hats. 1t
was most impressive scene. Standing with
L.. l. -.
rainstorm, the Chief Justice and the Presi-
dent-elect surrounded by high officials
Of State and in the presence
of an immense multitude of citizens, faced
each other with bowed heads while the
former read the oath of Office in a low tone
of voice. The oath exacted is III the follow
ing words:
II do solemnly swear that will faith
fully execute the office of President OF the
United States, and will to the best of my
ability preserve, protect and defend the
Constitution of the United States"
At the conclusion of the reading of the
oath the President with his right hand
clasping the Bible bowed his head in assent
The cheering which followed this cere-
mony having at length subsidized somewhat
in Difference to President Harrison's request,
he drew from his pocket roll ofmanuscript
and after adjusting his spectacles began
reading his inaugural address. He
kept his silk hat on dur
ing the delivery of his inaugural
and was partly protected from the rain
by Sergeant-at- Arms Canaday, much after
the manner in which Oriental potentates
are atteaded by their umbrella-b bearers.
Mr.. Cleveland. now an ex-Presiient, stood
up during a part of the address. but be-
coming tired towards the close seated him
self. The President spoke in loud clear tone.
with distinct enunciation, and emphasized
with much earnestness portions of his speech.
