University Notes.
BY OUR SPECIAL REPORTER,

Student johnson and cousin paid
a flying visit to relations at Long
Reach last week, where the johnson
family had reunion.
We are reliably informed that
season Tickets for the second series
of the Eureka Lecture Course will
be ready for sale at an early day.
The college roll has reached the
unparalleled figure 1873, for fall
term The number was increased
from 1876 to 1873 Monday by the en-
rollment of DIR. Fullerton's two sons.
The library furniture has been
treated to the third coat of polish,
and now presents quite pleasing
contrast with the old one. If, now
the ungainly strip made bare by the
removal of the gallery were coated
over with some kind of sham, and a
few strips of hemp carpet were laid
across the hall for foot-ways, the
most polished visitor would be well
come.
Mr.. Geo. B. Chorpening, class of
'89, is located for the winter at
Briertown on the Fairmont and
Clarksburg R. R. where he is en-
ployed as a civil engineer. Mr.. C.
has both a practical and paying po-
sition, and is rapidly growing into
favor with his principal. He will
attend the Boston School of Tech
nology next year and the year fol-
lowing.
Mr.. Thompson, a brilliant and
popular student of the W. v. U.
1857, later the successful junior
partner of the firm of Hartley and
Thompson of Masontown, has re-
signed his position as merchant
owing to his health, and will devote
himself to the study and practice of
his chosen profession, civil engineer
ing. He has not decided where he
will locate, but will attend a school
of G. E. in the East.
If committees composed of the
delegations from the respective coun-
ties represented at the University
would organize and elect one of their
number as reporter to their county
paper, which reports to be made
semi monthly, and in the course of
which carefully prepared and ac-
curate details of the advantages,
facilities, special opportunities for
W. Va. youth, the inside workings
of the college, the actual cost &c.
to be discussed. there would be a
marked difference in the reports sent
out from our college next school
year. Why not try it? One county
is already moving. in this direction.
1t is officially reported that the
new building on the campus or
what is generally SO called, will
never be completed as was originally
intended. This is to be regretted
much from an aesthetic standpoint
at least, as this is the most con-
spicuous building on the grounds
from a river view, and in it's present
state with unfinished and unpublished
sides and roughly cut foundation
presents quite an uDgainly appear
ance. 1t is no wonder visitors are
attracted by this monument of i'm
perfect college architecture and are
SO ready to comment upon the mis-
take which detracts so much from
the beauty of the University premi-
SEES.

The Warrington oil well is said
to have as many owners as the town

for our sister county.

that the work should be done

The new Commencement hall, ar
mory and gymnasium is to cost $751;
900, but there is only $4,000 in the
University treasury, so the building
is to be started and the $4,000 ex-
pended and by the time it is used
up it is thought the appropriation
for the remainder Of the $4,000 will
be made by the Legislature. The
new building is an actual necessi-
ty to the growing needs of the Insti-
tion and there can be no question
but that the appropriation will sure
ly be made.

Is There to be q Celebrationl

In delaying the preliminary ar
rangements and preparations for q
big celebration here on the first
arrival of the first boat it gives the
whole affair gloomy look and
makes the prospect of a good, big,
time anything but fattering.
1t is the opinion of our people that
something pretty extensive on the
pow-wow order should be done on
that day and their desire is that it
should be done but no one takes
hold to push the thing through and
manage for it's successful consumma-
ton.
The Pittsburgh and Wheeling
papers have gone so far as to ad-
vertise US in the matter and have
had several highly colored articles
descriptive of the big times there
will be here that day. Are we to dis
appoint the vast throng that will
pour in here that day? By no
means.
Let US 60 to work with will on
this matter. But little time re-
mains, it is true, but we must hustle.
We must do this thing in a rush,
and at the same time it can be done
well. A railroad excursion is easily
arranged and then four or five bands,
some speeches, a barbecue and a
general good time can be planned
and carried out. Who will be the
first volunteer to help the cause
along? Who will start the ball
rolling?
We have talked celebration a
good deal and now something be-
sides talk must be done. 1t is work
that is needed now, and we must all
work together and make the day one
to be remembered in our history and
commensurate with the great boom
secured in the permanent river
traffic Such an occasion shall not
go unobserved, and now is the time
to prepare for the observance.

VIM. Lone Badly Hurt.

Last Monday as some workmen
we're engaged at the top of the der
rick at the Lone well, VIM. Lone a
son of the owner, was standing on
the ground at the foot of the derrick,
when large plank fell from where
the men were at work and struck
the young man broadside on the
head. He was unconscious and his
life hung by thread for several
hours. A cash was cut in the head
nearly in the shape of horseshoe,
but luckily the skull is not fractured
very much. At this time he is still
very weak and it may be some time
before he is able to attend his du-
ties. He is about Is years of age.
No one is to blame for the accident,
probably, but to have loose boards
on derrick top is surely careless.

every Friday night alternately at the
various homes of the members. The
object is the discussion of the works
of VIM. Shakespeare. Apropos of
nf the above it might be said that a
Shakespeare club seems.easier to form
than an auxiliary of the Chautau-
qua Circle, and it ia the intention of
the Shakspereans to merge their club
into Circle if it is deemed advisa-
BILE by the members. The Chantau-
qua is one of the best, if not the
best, modes of combining society and
literature and it is to be hoped that
the Circle will materialize.

on the gas was all poppycock, and
consequently he turned on his little
gasser and then threw in his match

for Examination.
w. G. Harley, the smooth young COM
mission man who has had so much fun
with the Minneap oils Elevator COM
pany in the past few months, over a
few thousand bushels Of wheat which
he was supposed to have as
sisted in abstracting from the
company's storage bins, was
before Judge Emery again yesterday
afternoon on the charge OF stealing
$4,000 worth of wheat. Carman N.
Smith. who appeared for him, entered a
plea of not guilty, and the case was
continued until the 10th inst, Harley
being held in $4,000 bonds for his APP
pearance at that time. The case has
still more interesting features, which
are to be brought out in the near fut-
ure. IL is darkly limited that several
more arrests, some Of them OF sensa-
tional character, will be made.
While not pushing the matter at all.
the elevator company has never relaxed
offenders. and has kept track of the
movements OF Harry Halcomb,
the gentlemanly foreman who had
charge OF the elevator during
the time that the populations
of Harley and the others were going on.
The matter was brought to a crisis rath-
er sooner than was expected by the I'M
looked for admissions made by Harley
while Oh the witness stand in his recent
damage suit against the elevator CON-
pany, and yesterday Mr.. Holcomb
was arrested in Omaha, as stated above,
on kilograms from here, and all officer
will leave this morning to conduct him
back. HOlcomb's testimony Is expect
ed to be very damaging to the defend
ants.
Detectives Howard and Doyle, County
Attorney Jamison and Captain Holiness
of the elevator company, are all very
reticent about the entire matter, and
very little can be learned of the true
status of affairs, but it is known that
preparations are being made for grand
coup some time within the next few
DAYS.

A TALE OF WOE.
Divorce Proceedings Brought by
a Farmers Wife.

Il
Mary E. Brown has commenced an
action in the district court for divorce
from her husband, Milton D. Brown.
They were married at Minneapolis in
January of 1856 and have lived here
ever since. They were at that time
each drawing close to the fortieth year
of their life and had both tasted of the
joys and sorrows of married life before,
she having three little ones and he two,
so they started out with quite family.
Mrs. Brown states in her complaint that
with in few months after the marriage
the husband became mOrose, sullen and
Indifferent and treated her with increas-
ing severity and harshness. 1t goes on
further showing that marriage in their
case had been altogether failure. Mr..
Brown took his children from under
her care, though she had won their
affections and sent them to his mother,
stating that his wife used profanc Ian
guage i'll their presence. Shortly after
he turned Off the hired girl, semitic
washwoman away, and though his wife
was sick and suffering she was forced
to do her own work, would not take her
riding nor give her car checks, ceased
taking his meals at home, ignored and
neglected all s0ciai duties OF the marital
relation, and in the words Of the conf
plant has practically discontinued all
domestic intercourse with her, and all
recognition OF her as wife, excepting
only as prompted and impelled by
sexual desires and appetites."
The complaint then in minuteness
tells of how after spring house cleaning
the man wrote in large black letters on
the wall "Boarders keep out, etc."
how he disturbed the piles OF raked
leaves from the lawn, took away the
cook stove. removed three pianos w itch
she had rented, one to the North Star
Storage company, one to an open field,
where it was ruined by rains, and one
to the lawn, and how he did very many
other things sorely distressing in nature
to make life uncomfortable To her. But
the worst was to come where it tells of
how he came in one night after she
and her children had gone to
bed, tre the covering on the
bed she occupied with one child,
b:qttalIy assaulted the childr, n
AID in rage attempted to drive them
bed On which the two children were
sleeping, broke and kicked out the Win
dow and sash from one of the windows,
threw the bedstcad out, seized ana
broke the other bed, and here she es-
capped through the window and was
running to a nei ghbor'S when he over
took her and c0aXed her to come back.
The document closes with stating that
because Of the conduct her affection was
destroyed. and their married life became
one of malignant persecution on the one
side and continual suffering on the
other, and, beng unwilling to sustain
to the defendant relation Of mere le-
galiZed prostitution, refused further to
cohabit with him unless he should ac-
cord to her the rights of wife. She
asks for an absolute divorce, and il she
cannot get that. for divorce from bed
and board and asks for alimonv. be-
cause, she says, he is we'll Off.
