A gentleman who came in from Fair
mont on late train last night, in con-
versation with an INTELLIGENCER. re-
porter, confirmed the above dispatch
and made u statement which goes to
show what amount of damage to the in
terests OF q community can possibl Y
result from an exaggerated newspaper
report. He said:
'For some time past extensive prep
arations have been making for grand
soldiers reunion at Fairmont, which
commences tomorrow and will last the
remainder OF the week. It has been
extensively advertised and there are
assurances OF an immense crowd
lin fact, it will be the biggest thing
OF the kind ever held in West Virginia,
excepting the big reunion of-lSS7 ut

Yesterday q committee was sent to
Gypsy Grove, and they made arrange
ments with the First Regiment band,
which is from Morgantown, to stop at
Fairmont OH its way from the National
Guards Encampmentp, and remain two
days OF the reunion. To-day when the
band arrived at Fairmont it was found
that the leader had no less than four
telegrams in his possession, warning
hIm not to stop Mt Fairmont, as there
were sixty cases OF typhoid fever there.
"Now, the fact is, there are but six
cases OF fever In the community and
they are all very mild but one. have
observed that the report that we are
suffering from an epidemic has been
extensively circulated, and has been
telegraphed all over the country. 1t is
not only calculated to interfere with
the success OF our reunion, but is iniur-
ing the reputation for healthfulness
OF one OF the best sections OF the State,
a region which is now undergoing a
rapid development. There is not a
word OF truth in the reports OF an
alarming epidemic. 1t was first pub
lished in Pittsburgh paper, having
been telegraphed from Wheeling, and
has gone the rounds.
"Our people are very indignant about
the matter, and they have q right
to be, for our community has never sut-
fered from the ravages OF typhoid fever
and is not likely to. Six mild cases in q
population of more than 5000 is not
enough to warrant newspaper fakirs in
sending out a report that there are
sixty cases, is it? An effort will be
made trace to the name Of the cores
pondent who sent the report from
Wheeling, When he is found out we
will make it warm for him."

Yesterday was nominally the third
day of the West Virginia Exposition
and State Fair Associations eleventh
annual meeting, the second day Of the
races, public school children's day, and
big day in general. The attendance
exceeded the big record OF last years
third day, when 10000 people were on
the ground. A close estimate yesterday
put the attendance at $4,000. The best
part of it all was that the perfect
weather and fine track, which bids fair
to last through the remaining two days,
promised much larger crowds to-day
and tomorrow than the best previous
record. The association is truly lucky.
Yesterday was a day of accidents, but
none of them was serious when the
chances for fatalities are considered.
Everything went off beautifully and
smoothly, and those in attendance went
home more than satisfied.
The grand stand was full yesterday
afternoon, the fence about the race
course was lined with people, and down
the quarter stretch they were massed ten
feet deep; the pool box space was
thronged, the orchard black with peo-
pie, and in the circle there were as
many vehicles and as many people as
ever seen at one time, yet at the same
time the buildings and stock space were
comfortable filed. More people on the
ground will make "holy JAM"
The racing yesterday wus fair and the
running exciting. The stock show,when
the animals were out for the inspection
OF the judges, was fine. The balloon us.
cension was again q perfect success.
The Jewels are jewels indeed in their
business.

FArmoNT, W. Va, Sept. 9.-The
prevalence OF typhoid fever in Fairmont
is being terribly exaggerated on the line
OF the b. & o. R. R. and elsewhere. The
attendance ut the soldiers reunion here
this week will likely be seriously af-
fected by these magnifed and distorted
reports. How they originated is be-
yond conjecture. The general health
OF Fairmont and vicinity was never
better, and there arc but six cases OF
typhoid fever here out OF population
OF nearly 1900 people. All six OF these
cases originated at the Skinner house,
the proprietor and his wife be-
ing two OF the patients, for
which reason the hotel has
been closed. The cause OF the disease
is supposed to be the impure water
from well on the premises, but the
use Of the water has been abandoned
and for two weeks no additional cases
have been reported. The sick are all
getting along well and the disease does
not seem to be OF malignant charac-
ter. Fairmont has never been serious
lyaAected with typhoid fever and there
has been but one death here for year
or two from it-that OF Professor Sipe,
who contracted his case OF fever in
Wheeling. We hope this statement,
which contains the exact truth, may
setat rest the very untruthful and silly
stories which are being circulated con
cerning the prevalence and mortality OF
fever at Fairmont.
