other side of the Chamber would be free
from the dictation to which it had been
subjected, a dictation which had
been humiliating not only to the House,
but to the entire land.
Crisp, of Georgia, spoke severely of
>Kennedy's defamatory remarks about
Carlisle and himself. He said the docket
framed by the committee for the trial OF
the Carlisle-Thoebe case had met with
the approval of every Republican mem
Der of the committee. When Kennedy
assumed high position Of honesty
the inquiry was natural whether there was
anything in bis character or past life
which would lead the public to accept
his statement. Crisp then referred to
the proceedings in the Ohio State Senate
when Kennedy pr. sided as Lieut.. Gov
ernor, stating that with but II out
of the 36 members present, Kennedy had
entertained motion to turn out four
Democrats and seat four Re-
publicans and refused to permit
the Democratic members of the Senate,
upon their return, to place on the jour-
nal protest against the injustice and iu.
iquity of such q ruling. By this circum-
stance the House could determine what
value should be placed on the opinion of
the gentleman from Ohio on question
of honesty. Mz3
Turner of Georgia also attacked Ken
nedy in severe terms. The latter having

A State Base Ball Legue.

There is now movement on foot
to organize an association of the
best base bail clubs of this state in
to what will be known as the West
Virginia Base Ball League. The idea
as we have been given to understand
it, is to have the clubs of Hunting
ton, Parkersburg, Grafton, Martins
burg, Fairmont, Wheeling, Morgan
town and several others not as yet
heard from, become the members of
the new organization, each club to
be backed by sufficient amount Of
capital, and play through the season
of next year for pennant. 1t is the
intention to have a series of three
consecutive games at each place
every two weeks, and the interest in
the sport which such periodical
games will stimulate is likely to
make the gate receipts at each game
pay the expenses of the players. All
players would receive salaries, as by
arrangement they would be COMPEL
ed to play nearly every day,
The scheme is practicable one
and could be made to pan out. Some,
of course, will say that such an ar
rangement never can be perfected,
but why can't it? 1t is done other
places and can most certainly be
done in this state if our base ball
lists will all take kindly to the
scheme 1t would make base ball in
the state what it should be. If it is
done it will be done this winter and
everything be in readiness to begin
work in the spring.
The Morgantown club is strongly
in favor Of the above How do the
other clubs like it?

A GREAT FAMILY REUNION.
The White Family Have Pleasant
Family Reunion.

1t is well known, the White family
at the head of Dunkard in Battelle
District, is one of the most numerous
in this county. Recently the older
members decided to have reunion
ON the 25th of this month at the old
home place near Maple postoffice
now owned by Simon L. White.
According to the program about
two hundred members of the family
met in beautiful grove of sugar
trees, at the place above named, on
the morning of the 25th, and bring
ing heavy laden baskets of everything
that the season affords, spread a
very bounteous feast on long tables
that had previously been erected
beside spacious platform.
After some delightful music had
been rendered by the ladies present,
an appropriate address was made by
Rev. Stephen White in which he
not only welcomed all the Whites
and their descendants to the joyous
occasion, but also the friends and
neighbors of the family, who had
gathered with them, to the number
of hundred or more.
The day was most happily spent in
a regular old fashioned family pic
mic, and every one was so well pleas
ed that it was unanimously voted to
hold another reunion at the same
place in September 1891.
One of the pleasant features of
the occasion was the giving of sever
al handsome presents to Mr.. S. L.
White who with his wife and family
succeeded so handsomely in making
one and all feel at home on their
beautiful grounds. The meeting en-
ded with a short parting address,
and benediction by Rev. Eichelburge.
During the day your reporter CLEAN
ed some facts and statistics about the
growth of the White family which
are of sufficient interest to record.
William White, the founder of this
numerous family was born in 1888,
andIin 1S04..he married Mary Darling,
moving to the head of Dunkard soon
thereafter, which was then an al
most unbroken forest.
The issue of their marriage num-
bered 10 sons and one daughter, all
of whom lived to raise families of
their own except William who
died in his Goth year. Five of these
children yet survive and were pres
ent on the day of the re- union, viz:
John, rs years old; Thomas, 6S;
Simon L., so; Daniel, 5S; and Lydia,
the only daughter
The following table giving the
number of descendants from each
of the 10 children, beginning with
the Oldest, will exhibit the remarka-
BILE growth of the family:

A Proposed Creamery at Easton.

The farmers in the neighborhood
of Easton and within three or four
miles of Easton mill are invited to
meet at Easton school house on
Monday evening Oct. 7, at 7 o'clock,
to discuss the organization and es-
Establishment of branch creamery at
Easton.
The work of the creamery in con-
nection with the Experiment Station
at Morgantown has been so success
full, and the demands for its product
at fair prices is so much beyond the
ability to supply it that no reasona-
BILE grounds exist why the farmers
of that neighborhood should not
unite and enjoy the benefits and
profits of the business. 1t is thought
that arrangement can be perfected
whereby a creamery can be success
fully carried on at that point, and
all are invited to attend this meeting.
The meeting will be addressed by
MAC. Magruder, the creamery man
of the Station, and also by the Di-
rector of the Station, DR.. John A.
Myres. Remember 7 P. NJ, Mon
day October 7th.

A Wen Known oil Operator Commits
Suicide,

John A. Alexander the well known
oil operator and contractor commit
ted suicide at his residence at Wash
ington. Pa, last Saturday evening.
He was we'll known In the Mt.
Morris oil field. Upto January he
was an operator in the Mt. Nor
ris field, having gone there short
ly after the first strike was
made. The firm of Alexander
& Beatty, with perhaps others in the
company, completed nine wells on
the d. l.. Donley farm, all of which
came in good producers. Alexander,
however, disposed of his interests in
the Mt. Morris field about the first of
January. He was we'll liked by all
his acquaintance. OF the shooting
the Reporter says:
1t was about $50 p. m. when Mr.,
Alexander went to his residence on
Wade avenue, a new house recently
erected by Mr.. Conn, and passed up
stairs to his room. A plumber was
at work in the lower part of the
house when few minutes later the
report of pistol shot rang out.
Alarmed by the shot he went up
stairs to investigate and on open
ing the door of the bed room found.
Mr.. Alexander lying ON the floor
with bullet hole In his head He
was unconscious. Rev. j. Il. John
ston was called in and the wounded
man was laid upon bed. Medical
aid was summoned but he did not
recover consciousness and died
about two hours later. Rev. DIR.
Johnston drove out to the toll gate
on the National pike to the residence
of friend of Mrs. Alexander, with
whom she was spending the day,
and brought her to the bedside of
her husband. Mrs. Alexander was
Miss Lizzie Scott, of Butler, Pa,
She became the wife of Mr. Alexan-
der in April and the sympathy of
large circle of friends is hers in this
doubly sad bereavcments.

Old Hundred Now Being Tried.

Last Saturday Deputy Marshal
w. J. White took Ernest Hunderdt-
mark from the Jail here to Clarks-
bnrg, where to-day he goes ON trial
before the u. S. court for selling in
toxicants without government iii
cense. Old Hundred was in bad box
and is likely to be in a worse one
before he gets through. He will likely
have to go the trip forhis indiscretions
as there where he properly belongs
His ranch was the cause of many
terrors to people in his neighbor-
hood and that it is broken up is a
cause of much satisfaction to the law
abiding element. He deserves no
mercy and is likely to get none. His
offenses were fragrant and easily
proven. No more of Old Hundred
in this county.

Parkersburg Is the champion anna
teur base ball team of West Virginia,
that part having been decided last
week by their being victorious in two
games out of three played with the
Morgantown team on Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday of last week. 1t
might be explained, however, that
the Parkersburg team was not com
posed of Parkersburg men entirely,
as five of their players are known to
be professionals Of Ohio who had
been in the Tri- State League. Graf
ton beat the regular Parkersburg
team, and everyone knows that if
Grafton could do that at all our boys
could do it easily. But Grafton did
not play the same team our boys
played.
The first game of the series was
called at Ais p. IN. last Thursday,
and was called at the end of the 9th
inning on account of darkness, the
score standing 10 to in favor of
Parkersburg. Umpire, George Grail
ley. Batteries, Morgantown, Altman
and Sterling; Parkersburg, Thomas
and Greene. The usual playing
which Morgantown does was not
done on this occasion, as from the
first they appeared out of practice
and did inefficient work.
Next days game was called at =
o'clock, with Kiger in the box and
Hayes behind the bat. Our boys
seemed to have fully awakened by
this time and played an almost err
rorless game. They worked hard
and their efforts were rewarded by
having for result score of 4 to 3
in their favor. This was by far the
finest game ever played on the fair
grounds here. Elmer Jacobs was
umpire with the same battery for
Parkersburg. The above games were
played here and on the next day,
Saturday, the teams agreed to play
an exhibition game at Fairmont base
ball park, and accordingly at 2:30
o'clock the third game between them
was called at that place. Both clubs
played their best and the result was
defeat for Morgantown, the score
standing 6 to 2, thus wrestling from us
the banners of champions, which en-
blem is now possessed by the late
adversaries. Altman and Sterling
did the battery work for the home
team.
The above battery is from Mason
town and was secured by our boys
on account Of the disability of some
Of our players. They are genuine
ball players and are In no wise re-
sponsible for the defeats met at the
times they were the battery. All
that was necessary was the proper
backing.
1t is fact that the opposing nine
was the strongest ever our boys
bucked up against. Most of them
do nothing but play ball and their
continued practice makes them the
strong team they are. As it was the
teams were almost evenly matched
and the winners have not great
deal to crow over. They gave great
lesson to Morgantown on the need Of
practice. Our nine did not practice
at all for the above contests, while
the opponents had the advantage of
being in most excellent trim. There
fere it is not likely that our boys
will ever say again that they need
no practice.
From the proud position Of cham
pions our team steps down and
out They alone are to blame for
this sad fact, as their defeats were
the result of their own errors more
than any other cause. We hope to
see them regain the position lost,
which they will do if they go to
work aarnpStlv

OIL LEASES.
And How Long They Are Good.

A correspondent in Baltimore
writes the New DOMINION to know
how long oil leases usually run.
This can not be answered in a
general way as there are as many
different conditions almost as there
are leases. A few make contracts
with land owners for the , rivilege of
putting down wells for oil or gas
making their right contingent upon
the completion of well within a
given time, which varies from a
few weeks to a number of years.
Other bargains are made with the
proviso that should the operator
fail to finish his well within the
time specified he shall have the
privilege of paying the land owner a
cash rental per acre as long MS he
desires his option to continue. This
varies from few cents to many
dollars per acre according to the
value of the territory. A few are
made allowing the oil operator to
take his own time to develop it and
agreeing to give the proprietor a
percentage of the usually one
eighth or one tenth.
No formula can be given that
would enable our correspondent to
figure from, as the time varies from
a few weeks to 80 years.
The operator goes into the terri
tory and makes the best terms he
can, risking his money according to
the supposed richness Of the field
and the amount of capital at his
command.
The cost of sinking we'll to the
oil sand in the Monongalia field is
usually estimated at $4,000.
Another phase of the subject
might be mentioned. An operator
said to us a few days age that more
money was spent usually in develop
ing territory than was made by
the oil men. A few make ten strikes
while the great majority fail en-
tirely.

A Preston County Man Badly Hurt.

On Monday afternoon James, son
of Squire S. A. Dill, of near Reeds
vile, was sitting on the trunk of a
fellen tree, while his brother and an
other gentleman were saving it in
two. The tree suddenly started roll
ing and caught the young man nnder
it, breaking one of his legs close to
the thigh, and bruising and cutting
him severely. 1t was with gIeat
difficulty that he was taken from
under the tree. He had not been
released promptly, the pressure
would soon have killed him.
DR.. j. A. Cox of Masontown, was
called, and rendered the necessary
medical aid. 1t was thought at first
that the hurt would prove fatal, but
James is now improving; and, while
he is badly hurt, he is in fair way
to recover. 1t will be some time
before he can be out, as the bruises
and cuts are reported as being as
serious as the broken leg-King-
