ELECTRICITY is Coming

III is pretty well settled that we
will have an electrical plant in Nor
gantown.
A professional electrician who has
recently made two trips to Morgan
town on this business, gave it as his
opinion, after talking with a few of
our leading citizens, that company
could be formed that would take the
necessary stock.
If it is not formed here, it is said
that Fairmont will take the stock or
part of it. They are about to double
the capacity of their plant in Fair
mont. Although less than a year
has elapsed since it was put in, the
demand for the light is far in excess
of the capacity of the plant. 1t is
the same in Weston. They are beg
ging for it in both.
Moreover nice dividends are being
declared on the investment. Nobody
wanted the light, and nobody had
confidence in it when it was propos-
ed; now, everybody wants the light
and many are trying to get hold of
the stock.
1t is said that among group of
Fairmonters who CHANGED to be talk
ing together the other day, a propo-
sition was made to start another
electric plant, and nine thousand
dollars was pledged on the spot for
that purpose. But the company
which owns the plant is taking time
by the forelock and will hasten to
increase the capacity of their plant.
We hope that our people will not
allow foreign company to put in
this plant. 1t is time that our peo-
pie were owning some part of their
public enterprises. Contrary to the
repeated protest of the New Do
MININIoN, they allowed the water
works to slip through their fingers,
and now see their mistake They will
make as great mistake if they al
low electricity to be furnished by
foreign capital. 1t is just as good
as bank stock. In few years we
will regard electricity as essential,
almost, as water. No town will be
without it, 1t is even now the ex-
ception to find town of this size
without electric light. We ought to
have 1T, and our own people ought to
own it.
AS we have heretofore said, there
can be no rivalry between electricity
and gas. We want our gas for fuel,
but we want electricity for light.
There will be no diminution
in the demand for gas by
the Introduction of electricity.
Electricity itself will demand gas,
and will open up other enterprises
and uses for gas that we don't now
have. 1t will be like the building of
railroads, which, it was thought
would do away with horses and
make them valueless. But the rail
roads made use for two horses where
there was but one before.
Therefore in advocating the estab-
lishment Of tue electric plant we are
not to be understood as depreciating
gas. We are mighey glad to have
gas, and think it will be long time
before it finds a superior as fuel,
but 1T does not supply the place of
electricity. The latter is bound to
come. The people will always have
a good thing when it comes around.
And there is no use trying to do
without electricity. Our people will
have it, and if they are wise, they
will also own it.

Squire Alexander and J.J.Whar-

Squire Alexander and J.J.Whar-
ton, the re-assessment commissioners
for this county, have about compile
ted their work. That it has been
conscientiously and well done goes
without saying. In the two previous
re-assessments the work done in
this county was the standard by
which the whole state was judged,
and in the county not a single
change was made. That is much to
the credit of Monongalia men. In
the work before this, s. c. Stewart
and Jno. W. Lauham were the com
missioners. The work of the pres
ent commissioners will stand as has
that of their predecessors.

HARDEN PLHINS.

Good Joke on the Methodist Min
 fsters-The Lost Was Found.
 Chaplain McCabe of New York lectured in the Hamden Plains M. E. church Thanksgiving night. The chaplain was entertained by Rev. F. Saunders, the pas tor of the church. All went serenely and well. The lecturer received his pay before retiring and, beyond question, slept the sound, sweet "sleep of the just" Bnt in the morning! An! in the morningl When the lecturer was ready to start for the first train for New York, he had no money-his purse was gone. Then began an anxious stirring search. The pastor searched the bedroom, the lecturer searched his pock- cts again and again, but no trace of the missing wallet Of course neither minis ter was willing to charge the other with theft-it must have been some other pro- fessional gentleman. The decision was made, 8 burglar had entered through an unfastened window, had taken the pocket book. This could be the only solution, and this of course was very probably as sneak thieves had once entered the parson- age and several of the Hamden homes. In the meantime the chaplain departed for New York, sadder if not a wiser man, having shaken 'foff the dust of his feet' against Hamden. Of course the papers soon got the news. The story grew in the town and grew in the papers-far beyond question-things known and unknown are published in these days As accounts went. The chaplain's watch, clothing, purse and many valuables belonging to MT. Saunders were taken. The best part of the story is yet to be told-the thief has been captured. A letter received by Mir. Saunders in the chaplain's own handwrit- ing tells the story of the arrest and convic- ton of the guilty one. The pocketbook had been found by certain DrMcCabe in one of said Chaplain McCabe's unused and unsearched pockets. And as 'sall's well that ends we'll" all parties are relieved and happy now.

THE ELECTION YESTERDAY.

Democrats Reduce the Republican
 Representation fn the City Gov
 erament-HOt Contests In the Close
 Wards - Total Vote of only 10000.
 The election is over and there are some surprises. The day was as fine as could have been desired, the weather being per- feet, but it being an off year large vote was not boiled. Then all the candidates on the tickets for selectmen, assessors, board of relief, constables and grand jurors were sure of victory, hence there was no exciting strife on that point. Several of the ward elections were hotly
 contested. Nicoll was defeated in the
 First and Professor H. A. Newton of Yale will sit in the com
 mon council an alderman from the First. In the Second
 there was sharp fight, but Blakeslee got | there, and by a good-sized majority. Champion in the Eighth made an excep- | tionally fine run, winning by strikingly | handsome majority over his competitor and leading his entire ticket. Atwater for | councilman in the Eighth was safely land ed. He made great headway, overcoming | the wiles of the enemy and scoring bril- l liant victory. He was congratulated on
 all sides last evening, his triumph being all
 the more conspicuous as the enemy had
 him vanquished for sure according to their boasts in the afternoon. Crampten,
 Rabanus and Major Buckingham made
 a gallant fight and an easy victory. Doody, dem., won in the Fourth, but his victory is no great triumph over Hoyt. 1 Sanborn, rep, made a good run in the | Fifth. In the Ninth Shannahan downed | Moore, rep., and the entire ward went | democratic this time. The Tenth is of
 course sure republican ward. Captain
 Callahan, dem vanquished Toronto in
 the Eleventh ward. This ward also went | democratic throughout. The Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Twelfth are, as usual, demo- cratic.
 The talk yesterday about Alderman Hamilton working against MT. Blakeslee | was unfounded, as shown by the handsome majority MT. Blakeslee received. l Already states are being made up for president of the board of councilnen. Daniel A. McWilliams is one of those 80 slated.
 Captain Callahan will be reelected pres ident of the board of aldermen. The republicans will still have their say | in electing a member for each of the boards of commissioners, but with loss of two aldermen more they would be out ! in the cold. Next year no doubt republi- | cans will brace up.
 The majority for license was 4. .414.

The patient is in a serious con- dition from the effects of the poison upon the stomach Things.
 MT. and Mrs. Bishop have not lived hap oily together for some time. In the city court several months ago she was charged with attempt to set fire to her husbands oyster shop.
