Another Coal Field to be Opened In
MOnOngalia.

For some time past DR.. jackson,
of Philadelphia, has been In this coun-
ty examining the coal veins in the
Southern section Of the county
along the Monongalia, in which
section a syndicate of Philadel-
phia capitalists think of invest
ing largely. DR.. jackson has taken
several blocks of coal from the veins
on Jno. S. Hoods farm that will be
shipped east this week for analysis.
The company DR.. jackson represents
will buy from five to ten Thousand
acres on the West Side of the river
in the vicinity Of Louisville, where it
is thought the coke ovens will be
built. In this event the coke COM
pany will build bridge across the
Monongahela from a convenient
point ON the f., M. q p. r. r., and
a track along the river on the West
Side. AS fine body of coal, COM
prising several thousand acres, as
can be found anywhere, lies in this
section and it is to be hoped the gen.
tlemen will go into the enterprise.
The coal makes an excellent quality
of coke, is easily mined and is as
convenient to market as the Connells-
vile region.
Why shall it not be developed?

The Composition Of Natural Gas.


Prof whitehill yesterday gave the
following problem to his class in
chemistry:
The chemical composition of nat
ural gas is very variable. This is not
only true of samples taken from diff
ferent wells, but of samples taken
from the same we'll. No two samples
taken from the same we'll on the
same day would give exactly the
same results on analysis. An aver
age analysis would give nearly the
following results:
Marsh gas, CT per cent. Hydrogen,
1928 per cent; Nitrogen, per cent.
Ethylic hydride, 5 per cent; Olefian t
gas, l per cent; Carbon dioxide, g
per cent; Carbon monoxide, g per
cent.
Surprising air to be 14.4 times as
heavy as hydrogen, what is the spe-
cific gravity of natural gas as com.
pared with air2
What are the two principal pro-
ducts of the combustion of natural
gasp
On the analysis as given the class
figures out .493 as the specific gravity
of the gas, making it not quite one
half as heavy as air. They gave
carbon dioxide or as 1t Is commonly
called carbonic acid, and water as
the two principal products of the
combustion. These answers were
pronounced correct by Prof. White
hill.

The Martinsburg Independent
tells an interesting story Of the OPP
erations of a rascal who has been
robbing the citizens of that town in
singularly bold an heartless way,
under the pretense of being an oc-
ullst. The Independents story is
as follows:
"A scamp has been at work in this
county who deserves to be tarred and
feathered. He called upon Mrs.
Rebecca Sperow, near Broad Lane,
now in her 10th year, represented
himself as an eye doctor, and that
he had been sent to her by the fam
lily physician, and after throwing
some liquid in hereyes, went through
a rubbing process, and then demand
ed 800 for his work. Mrs. S. had
nothing like that sum in the house,
so he accepted S.. He then took her
gold spectacles, punched out the
lens, doubled up the rims, and, put
ting them in his pocket, placed a
new pair on her nose, for which be
charged and collected $3.50. He
then departed. DR.. Leymaster knew
nothing of the man, and when Mr..
Sperow returned the scamp was gone.
He next called on Mr.. j. d. Burk-
hart, 81, where he again represented
himself as sent by the family physi-
clan, and insisted upon removing
from the face of Mrs. Burkhart some
sort of breaking out. A prepare
ton was applied, for which he asked
500. Mr.. Burkhart gave him $25.
He then called upon Mrs. Robert
Flagg, and offered to doctor her eyes.
She refused to permit it. Then,
without rendering services, he de-
manded $780, Mrs. Flagg said she
would come tc town and see about
the matter. He then left. He as
sumed the names of Drs. Miller and
Henry. Warrants have been issued
him."

The ssDrysv Jubilant.

By far the most ferocious whiskey
fight ever waged in Morgantown
took place last week, and the tenn
perance people won the day without
the county court having to ballot on
the question of license or no IL
cense.
On the Thursday evening before
the convention Of the county court
an alleged certificate was issued to
Jas. c. Wallace from the town coun-
Gil for presentation to the county
court stating that the council had
given its consent to the county court
to grant Wallace a license to sell in
toxicants in Morgantown. On We'd
nesday the certificate was presented
to the court by P. H. Keck, attor-
ney for Wallace, who made the u.s.
ual statements as to moral charac-
ter, DC, of the applicant and pray
ing that body to issue license to
him. Prosecuting Attorney Cox
made the statement that the certifi-
cate was not legal. He was follow
ed by Mrs. Pierce, on behalf of the
w. C. t. u, President Turner on be-
half of the University and by DR..
White on behalf of the temperance
people of the town. Each made a
strong argument against the liquor
traffic and what is also true is that
they all were listened to by larger
crowd than ever was known to be
present at a session of county court
before and comprised all classes,
creeds and opinions. Messrs. Keck
and Cox kept up their argument all
the next day, one trying to show
that the councils certificate was
legal, the other to prove it void, and
on Thursday afternoon the court de-
cided that it was invalid and that
their vote was not necessary until a
legal certificate was produced.
1t was claimed that quorum of
the council was not present when
the certificate was granted, and ON
that hypothesis the court rendered
its decision. There's fun brewing
in the council and from what many
persons seem to think big explos-
ion may take place in that quarter al
most any time However, we take no
side in the matter and hope there
will be no unpleasant result. In the
meantime Morgantown continues to
travel on the anti-license road, but
the fight will be renewed, perhaps. at
the June term of court.

A Good Suggestion.

Many schools have closed and
many more will close tomorrow. 1t
does seem that the children could
advantageously attend school anoth-
er month more; and another month
now, after everything has got the
"go," would count more than the
first two months. Five months
school would be step in the right
direction. Let the Boards of Edu-
cation submit the question to the
people of each district at the COM
ing school acknowledgement
Journal.
The above is full of good sense
and we take this opportunity to call
the attention of Monongalia's boards
to what has become a demand for
longer school terms in the country.

Monday eyenin9 Squire Hayes
sdjudged Fannie Smith insane, bas'
ing his Judgment upon the resuIt q
an examination made By Drs. Nc
Lane and Mackey, who pronounced
her case to be insanity, melancholy
in its character though at times as
Stunning excitement and slightly vio-
lent tcndcncies.
Fannie Smith will be remembered
as the young woman who for years
was known as Mrs. Barthlow here,
but recently some sensational deyel.
opments proved that marriage re-
lation never existed between her and
Alvin Barthlow, who had cohabited
together for some years, during
which time two children were born
to them. On their separation Fan
ME went to her fathers home and
Barthlow went to his fathers home
taking the two children with him
and supporting them since. At This
time Fannie was in poor health and
from brooding over her trouble has
become affected with alteration OF
mind and is now, pitiable though it
is, hopeless lupatic and will prob
ably be taken to Weston soon.
The girl is only 10 years Of age,
was bright and intelligent and not a
suspicion of her virtue was ever
dreamed of. 1t is by far the sad
dest and most deplorable case ever
brought to light in Morgantown.
Domestic trouble, probably, is not SO
rare as to excite comment, but'when
in its excess insanity is produced it
calls for the bringing to justice Of
him who caused it,
