Evolutionary Entertainment.

Prof. Gilbert Walden, of Virginia,
gave an Evolutionary entertainment
at Academy Hall ON Monday even
ing to a good audience. The pro
gram was comprehensive and was
well rendered. The orchestra was
present and entertained the audience
between the readings. One of the
features that attracted much atten-
ton and elected much favorable
comment was the solo sung so beau
tifully by Miss Ollie Marsh. Miss
Marsh has an excellent and we'll
trained voice. She delighted the au-
dience so much that she was encored
twice. The only unpleasant feature
of the evening was the bad conduct
of a number of boys who make them
selves conspicuous on all such occa-
sions. They ought to be suppressed.

immortality at Mt. Morris.

We are informed that a great deal
of liquor is being sold at Mt. Nor
ris, and also that gambling is car
ried on to a shameful extent. Our
informant says the young men and
boys are being led to the bad by
these two evils which have recently
sprung up in that place. The peo-
pie should call the attention of the
Constables to these violations oflaw,
and give him all the information pos
sible, and if he fails to return the
guilty parties to Court, then report
the officer to the Judge, who can de-
pose an unfaithful officer, impose on
him heavy fine and send him to
prison. The people can free them
selves of the evils complained of, If
they will avail themselves of the
means placed at their disposal

The Supply Of Gas.

A number Of gentlemen were dis
cussing the matter of our gas supply
yesterday when some one suggested
the possibility Of it becoming ex-
hausted in a few years. Prof. White
being in the company was asked his
opinion and his reply very emphat
ically given was: 'This is the best
gas field in the world. There is nc
danger of the supply becoming ex-
hausted for many years" This be
ing the case what is to hinder Nor
gantown from having real lasting
boom? We have rail and water
transportation and are in the midst
of the best gas field known. If We
don't do something now, it will be
our own fault.

The Cheat River Resort.

1t is reported and no doubt there
is some foundation for it, that Pitts
burg and McKeesport capitalists
are arranging to build some large
hotels ON Cheat, and make it great
summer resort. The Navigation
company also proposes to take some
stock as their boats will soon be
running to this place and the pro-
ject would certainly add much to
their business.

The gentleman whose sad end il
given below was personally known
to number Of people in this place
as he was q visitor here for several
weeks last fall, the guest Of his broth
er-in-Iaw Mr.. L. Y. Keck. Concern
ing his death the Pittsburg Commer-
ciol Gazette of Saturday says:
The remains Of DIR. James Belden
Morrison, the Penn avenue dentist
who died yesterday from the effects
of pistol bullet, supposed to have
been fired by himself, lies at the
home of his father. Henry Morrison,
No. SOC Penn avenue The features
are composed and no traces Of the
deed are discernib]e. At HIS yes
terday morning Mrs. Hoover, land
lady Of the house, 430 Penn avenue,
where Dr. Morrison had his office
and sleeping apartments, was startled
by the report of pistol. She went
to the doctors sleeping apartment at
the rear of his Office and found the
body of the unfortunate man lying
in front of the fire place with a stream
Of blood rushing from his mouth,
and Smith d Wesson revolver ly-
ing beside him. He was completely
dressed. Mrs. Hoover summoned
Drs. Mcdonald and Wylie from an
adjacent building; they reached the
scene a few moments before the in
jured man breathed his last. The
authorities were notified and the
body subsequently removed to his
parents home.
DR.. Morrison was 3S years of age,
unmarried and was in excellent cir
cumstances. The inference was that
he had taken his own life in a fit of
dependency caused by i'll health of
long continuance. Last night, Mr..
Henry Morrison was seen in regard
to the causes which might have i'm
PEELED the deed. He said "The
family are reluctant to believe that
it was a of premeditated suicide.
Belden had not been working for
several days, but on Thursday began
taking tonic prescribed by North
Side physician. He babe his mother
good morning at 8 a. m. yesterday,
and said he felt much better before
he left for his office. He always
kept revolver in perfect order I'M
der his pillow at night, and it seems
strange that man with his knowl-
edge of physiology should deliberate
ly fire into his mouth instead of at
his temple if he wished to die pain
lessly. He had not complained much
of his illness, which was due to dys-
pepsia. The shooting may have
been due to accident or the result of
a sudden mental alteration.
DR.. Morrison was general favor
lite, and his shocking end arouses
much sympathy for his family.
Coroner Mcdowell held an inquest
on the remains of DR.. Morrison last
evening The testimony went to
show that that the deceased had
been suffering from severe attack
of indigestion and had eaten nothing
for two days. The verdict was sui
eide while suffering from temporary
alteration of the mind.

The MOnOngahela Slack Water I'm.
prOyement Soon to be Completed.

( Col. Merrill, engineer in charge of
the slack-water improvement, an
nounces that the contract for build
ing dam No. s on the Monongahela
has been let to Pittsburgh party,
and is to be completed before De
cember 1st, 1889. There is little
doubt that the work will be pushed
through at once and that in few
months the boats will be running to
this place daily. The river men are
already figuring on this as may be
seen from the following paragraph
taken from the Pittsburgh Post:
AS soon as dam No. 5 is completed
the Pittsburgh and Geneva Packet
Company will run their boats to
Morgantown, W. Va. Captain Adam
Jacobs, of the James G. Blaine, was
seen yesterday in regard to the pro-
posed extension of the line. He said !:
"Just as soon as the new dam is
completed we will extend our line.
Dam No. 8 has been built for some
time, and at certain stages we can
run on to Morgantown. The next
dam will enable us to run the pack
cts regularly beyond Geneva. We
expect to begin the new route next
summer or at farthest by fall, as the
dam will be finished by that time.
The extension of the route will me-
cessitate our putting on another
boat 1t will be the Geneva. lean
not tell exactly how we will run the
boats, but it will be something like
this: A boat will leave here every
morning at o'clock for Brownsville.
1t will lay there until the next morn
ing, return, and leave here at A p. m.
for Geneva and Morgantown. The
morning boat will take freight to
Brownsville and way points, while
the one which will leave in the after
noon for Morgantown will not take
freight for any point this side Of
Brownsville. This arrangement will
give us a daily packet for Browns
vile, as well as for Geneva"
