the Clements Mines on the F., M. d
P. R. R., on royalty, sold their in
terest in the property to party Of
capitalists, represented by Mr.. c. W.
Pool, an experienced coal man from
Pennsylvania. These gentlemen will
operate the mines under the name of
the Pool Coal q Coke Co., and will
do good business. There are fifty
ovens attached to this plant and
sufficient number of houses for the
miners, and every thing is in good
shape for operation. The new pro-
prietors are experienced coal men,
are already in the business and bring
to this section trade from a new quar-
ter We welcome them to our re-
gion. The Hutchinson Bros. are now
operating Beechwood and Opekiska,

The Fruit Tree Agent.

The nursery agent is abroad in the
land. He called upon us the other day,
and poured into our ears his complaint
about the poor fruit of this country, and
gave us glowing description, well il
Illustrated with fine cuts Of choice fruits
found to possess superior qualities in
northern New York, Canada and Massa-
chusetts. He led us to infer that moth
ing but perfect fruit is grown in those
sections In fact, his book Of illust'a-
tons prove beyond the shadow of a
doubt that the choicest fruits do grow
there, and hence ii we gave him an order
we were soon TO make a strike.
After he had emphasized the mean
ness OF our fruit sufficiently 10 suit his
purposes, we modestly called his atten-
ton to the fact that almost all of his
mean fruit, which he was denouncing so
vigorously, had been bought at excess
sively high prices from agents like him
self with fine pictures representing these
distant nurseries and their fruit trees,
and that we ourselves had spent over
81 800 upon such so-ealled improved
fruit, and had failed in most cases to SCI
cure as choice fruit as we had obtained
from local nurseries. The truth Of the
matter is that nurserymen in, or near
West Virginia, supply better quality Of
fruit than is generally supplied by these
travelling agents representing distant
nurseries. Our local nursery men will
sell, at much less price, the fruit trees
demonstrated to be we'll adapted to our
climate and soil, and furnish the trees
true to name, which can not always be
said OF distant nurserymen When we
come to think Of it, there is no reason
why our local nurserymen cannot supply
exactly the same that distant nursery
men do, excepting, possibly some very
new varieties, which have just been
brought out, ard are yet comparatively
untrled.
The talk about "winter hardened"
frost proof, y "insect proof" and Gree
from disease, is so much froth given in
approved doses to the unwary purchaser
and is as applicable to home grown nur-
sery stock as it to that produced in the
distance. If the farmers really wish the
latest varieties for trial, the best way to
secure the trees is to order direct from
the nurserymen, as the agents require
purchasers to sign contract to accept
other trees should ones ordered not be in
stock.
My advice to farmers is to buy their
trees from home nurseryinen. They are
more reliable. JOHN A. MYERS,
Director OF w. Va Ayr. Elk. Station.

The Miller -Alexander-Jam We'd
ding.

A very pretty double wedding was
that celebrated at the country resi-
dence of j. M. Jamison near Laurel
Point in this county last Wednesday,
the 22nd instant. The occasion was
the marriage of his two eldest
daughters, Grace and Gertrude; the
former to Mr.. 6. f. Miller a success
full young business man of this
county and the latter to Mr.. Geo. M.
Alexander Of our town, who recently
graduated at the State University in
the classical and law departments.
The ceremony occurred at high noon
in the presence of a few immediate
relatives of the contracting parties.
Rev. Curry of the Baptist church,
assisted by Rev. Chichester of the Nj.
E. church, joined the young people
in the holy bonds of matrimony both
couples being united by a single
cermony. The winsome young brides
were becomingly attired in travelling
dresses of Bedford chord and wore
white marschal neil roses in the hair
and in bouquets. The form used by
the ministers was quite beautiful
and impressive. Immediately upon
the conclusion of these exercises the
company sat down to sumptuous
repast prepared for the occasion.
A long list of presents both useful
and ornamental was received by the
newly welded pairs. After few
hours spent in pleasant converse,
the brides and grooms drove to the
Railroad station here where they
took the o'clock train for Mt. Lake
Park where they will spend a week
and then return home via Pittsburg.
Mr.. Miller will continue in business
with his father at Arnettsville where
he and his bride will make their fu-
ture home. Mr.. Alexander will not
enter upon the practice of the law
until fall, when he thinks of locating
in Fairmont. The young folks come
of excellent families and have the
best wishes of host of friends for a
long, prosperous and happy life.

Prof. j. Ewing Davis.

The gentleman whose name ap-
pears above recently delivered an adj
dress before the students Of the
Chenille Normal School In speak
ing Of the address the Star, the pa
per published by the school says:
'sThe Independent Literary Society
has again showed her wisdom in pro-
curing young but efficient professor
of the West Virginia University,
Prof. J. Ewing Davis, of Morgantown.
Prof. Davis being native of Monon-
gala was afforded ample opportunity
for education, which, contrary to the
general rule, he accepted.
"He entered the w. V. y. in the
fall of 1885, and by devotion to study,
by superior activity and diligence,
finished both classical and law cour-
SEES within the time allotted to the
classical alone. He graduated in
the spring of 1891, and was at the
same time rendered by the Board of
Regents position as instructor in
the Preparatory Department of the
University While in college, Mr..
Davis devoted much time to literary
work and was very enthusiastic
worker in the Columbian Literary
Society, which society acknowledged
its obligation to him by giving him
the presidency.
"As writer, Mr.. Davis has gained
considerable distinction among his
fellow students. His merit as a
writer consists not SO much in the
style as in the thought. His aim is
to say something and say it in such
a manner as to be readily understood
by any one, having a moderate de-
gree Of intelligence. His style is
not that common to young writer's
affected and pedantic, but simple and
clear, avoiding all scholastic techni-
calities and eccentricities of dictior
that tend to obscure the thought
We again congratulate ourselves or
our success in procuring SO worthy
a speaker"

He is Fit For the Best.

Belford's Monthly for May has
this to say of Hon. VIM. L. Wilson:
Whatever else may happen in poll
tics, whoever else may be put up or
down, there is every reason to be-
lieve that Mr.. Wilson will, before
many years, attain the position
which he is so well fitted to fill 1t
is an honor to our life that such a
man can remain in it, and the fact
that he can so remain gives that
rough mountain district down in the
State of West Virginia more real
prominence and a prouder place in
this great country than all the thir-
ty four mediocre men accredited to
the House by the so-called Empire
State of New York. If few more
districts would adopt this policy the
American Congress would cease to
be looked upon with that general
contempt now become so common
and whose injustice it would be i'm
possible to deny"

Takes Her Own Life Because Of I'm
re0uited Love.

required Love.
The deluded girl whose tragic
death is chronicled below was living
in Uniontown at the time. The story
is clipped from the last issue Of the
Standard OF that place:
1t is strange philosophy that will
lead sane person to meet the king
of terrors to escape the petty ills of
life and not like Hamlet conclude "to
bear those Ills We have rather than
fly to others that we know not of :"
But such was the philosophy that
lead poor Cora Allen to take her own
life.
Cora Allen, daughter of William
Allen who lives near Bruceton, took
an ounce of laudanum last night and
died from the effects of it this morn
ing at half past nine o'clock. Cora
was employed as domestic in the
family of d. L. Philippi Of this
place and it was there she took the
fatal dose. No cause for the act can
be given unless it is the story that
her lover Andy Walls, a mill worker
who she said had promised to marry
her went back on his obligations.
She was aged about 10 and seemed
to be in perfect health as she never
complained of any sickness. About
7 o'clock p. NJ. she went out accom-
panied by one of Mr.. Philippi's lit
tie girls. She then went to one or
two of the drug stores telling the lit
tie girl that she was going to buy
some perfumery. But instead Cora
was hunting laudanum with which
to end her life. She was refused
laudanum at one or two of the drug
stores, finally getting it at Clark's in
two one-ounce bottles. She then went
back to the house and seemed unus-
ually happy during the evening, play
ing with the children and dancing
for them. About ten o'clock she
went to the sink to get drink of
water and it is thought that she took
the laudanum then. The family did
not see her any more that night.
She made all her preparations very
deliberately, even washing herself
and putting on new night gown.
She was an early riser and about six
o'clock when she was not up Mrs.
Philippi called her but could get no
answer. Upon going TO her room she
found the unfortunate girl in an un-
conscious condition and the Drs.
Sturgeon were called and afterwards
Dr. Gaddis. The three doctors did
all in their power to restore con
seriousness and save her, working
from half past six until half past
nine o'clock. The laudanum had
got thoroughly worked all through
her system and all their efforts to
save her were in vain.
She wrote two letters during the
evening, one of which she mailed
about half past seven o'clock, and
the other has not yet been found. 1t
is hoped that these letters will throw
some light on her actions if they can
be found.

The Glass Works Coming.

The B. Il 1. people confidently as
sert that the glass works will locate
at Morgantown. The representatives
of the glass people were here last
week and were in conference with the
directors of the B. q l. Company
Terms and details were agreed upon
and contract is to be drawn up here
and sent to the glass people to sign.
Until this is done there is still a
chance for the glass company to re-
pudiate their proposition, and this
will hardly be done, as they stated
that they were satisfied with the
terms agreed upon before leaving
Morgantown.
The signed contract is expected
within the next few days. The work
on the construction of the factories
(there are to be three, bottle, window
glass and table glass works. will be-
gin this summer, and inside of year
will be in full operation.
The b. & l. Company has $4,000
which is to be expended for the con-
struction of dwelling houses. The
location of the factories here will
bring 600 men at the start, and a
great many people will build houses
for rent. The demand for new houses
will be great and must be supplied.
The number to be built by the b. q
l. Company will not be half sufficient
for the needs of the influx occasioned
by the glass works.
The glass people will occupy 20
acres of ground for their three fac
tories, warerooms, private switch
yards, DC, and while this will not all
be taken up the first year they ex-
pect to utilize it all by additions
they expect to make to their plants
They have also made arrangements
for having another line laid to the
gas field, SO as to not endanger the
supply of gas used for domestic pur
poses by our people.

In a CanOe--And Out.

Last Friday afternoon a quartet
of Morgantown men athirst for sport,
adventure, hair breadth escapes and
all that sort of thing, gaily started
in mood triumphant for Rowlesburg,
to brave the dangers of float in ca
noes from there on Cheat to its
mouth. Partaking literally of the
native fruits, hog and hominy, of
that locality for morning repast,
and then they started, did this quar-
tet.
Cheat river is the toughest stream
in the world, say the people who live
along it, and Lieut.. Ramsey, Earl
Vance, P. A. Shaffer and Russell
Huston coincide in that opinion.
These people had tin canoes 16 feet
long, and it was the intention to make
the entire journey without walking
at all. Vain hope! They trudged
a considerable distance, and walking
is not the best along the rugged
shores of Cheat.
The first night they reac he'd ALL
brightsville 1t was the intention to
make the entire journey in two days.
Vain hope again.
Sunday all day they would ride
for time and in the rougher places
the boats had to be let down with
ropes by the men on shore 1t was
a day which taxed their endurance
to the utmost. They camped in the
woods that night at a place which a
higher order of civilization has not
yet designated with a name. 1t was
far from any habitation, as any one
who knows at all will say that from
Albrightsville to Beaver Hole is free
from population or agricultural in
novation.
Monday evening they reached
Beaver Hole. The toughest part of
the journey had been passed. One
canoe had stove in and sunk. All
four of the men had been pitched
out, drenched, ducked and punished
by the flashing waves of old Cheats
stormy rifles.
Tuesday Russell Huston walked
from Beaver Hole to Morgantown
and reported that the other mem
bers of the party were to go on to
Point Marion and would come up by
boat. They may come to-day and
they may not.
In all seriousness, it was peri.
lous undertaking. The party was
after adventure, and Cheat can give
a very much larger party full and
sufficient measure of that sensation
No man has yet ridden in boat
from Rowlesburg the entire distance
to Point Marion.
