University Notes.
BY OUR SPECIAL REPORTER.

About $50 students were present
at the opening exercises of the Uni
versity on last Wednesday morning
Since that time the roll has swelled
to ITS. They are still dropping in
and the attendance will doubtless
be up to the average If not beyond,
by the time the enrolment for the
term is completed.
The female side of the house is
about what it was last year, and as
the expectations were modest in
that respect, there is no disappoint-
ment.
As usual there are many new
faces among the body. The changes
in the whole body of students from
year to year is surprisingly great, and
it is not less marked this year than
usual.
There are about 20 students en-
rolled in the Law Department, and
still coming in. The class promises
to be large one this year.
Although Pres. Turner was pres
ent at the opening, he has since
been obliged to remain at home on
account of illness, and is under the
hands ofhis physician. In his alb
sence Vice President Reynolds is
handling the reins and cracking the
whip.

James Maust Did Not Commit Suicide.

Last week an article appeared in
these columns copied from Union
town exchange in reference to the
death of James E. Maust which did
injustice to the deceased and his
family. Young Maust lived alone
on little farm in Fayette county.
On the evening of August 25th he
was found dead at the door of his
little home with an empty shot gun
lying by his side. A tale of suicide
was at once started and wild stories
of the cause added. Mrs Maggie
Harris. sister of the deceased, call
ed at this office and assured us that
suicide was almost impossible; every
circumstance indicating the sad af-
fair to have been ON accident.
Maust was not a drinking man as
reported. Such reports only adding

let fever, at the home of his mother,
the Wallace House, Morgantown.
WAGNER-To die is the inevitable
fate of man, but when the Death
Angel clasps one so young and fair
as Fannie Wagner, who died on Fri
day last, September 18th, it seems
more sad than usual Fannie was

her fathers pride. She was model
daughter, admired by all and loved
and respected by a host of friends.
Many tear was dropped as her
friends and school mates followed
her remains to their last resting
place in Oak Grove Cemetery. Miss
Fannie was the only child of Mr. and
Jno. G. Wagner, and was born on the
9th day of December 1876, and died
on the 18th day of September, 1891
