Betting on the Election.

New YORK, Oct. 2O.-About this
time four years ago betting on the
Presidential contest was very brisk.
The odds at first were slightly in favor
of Clevelanl. Then Harrison became
the favorite at 800 to 800. Afuerward
Cleveland's stock went up. 1t was at
this point Of the betting that Col. III
II. Swords, sergeant at-armS Of the Re.
publican national committee, walked
into the Hoffman one evening with his
pockets stuffed with $1,000. bills and
certified checks, and bet the Cleveland
men to a StandStill.
Col. Swords represented himself and
Republican syndicate. Before the
Colonel left the Hoffman House that
evening he had wagered at least $50.
OOO. Within the next few days he put
up $4,000 more on HarrisOn's election.
Ii was announced that Col. Swords in
tended to repeat his 1858 visit TO the
Hoffman House last evering and un
load big pile of money tn narrisons 8
reelection. Up to II L. NJ Col. Swords
had not arrived, and it was said at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel that he would pro-
0ably not be In search of Cleveland
money for at least a week. One of his
friends remarked that the Colonel was
organizing his syndicate and would
shortly have enough Doodle to drive
the Democrats out of the Hoffman
House.
Billy Edwards said last evening that
the betting on the result continued to
be very slow. ut Is still even up" he
said. Prof. Edwards announced that
he had been commissioned to bet s.
GOO to 81 500 that Cleveland would car
ry the State of New York
81 am ready to make that wager at
any time" he continued. "a few days
ago the odds were ten to eight in favor
of Cleveland carrying this State. Now
the odds are ten to seven and half |
have 81 600 that will bet against $500
that Cleveland will carry Indiana"

For A Free River.

The suit relating to the condem
nation of lock No. I on the Monon-
gahela river by the government will
come up in the United States su.
preme court next month. The decis.
ion in the case will have an impor.
tant bearing ON the question of free
navigation of the Monongahela riv-
er in the future, and the action Of
the highest court in the land is
awaited with interest by the river
coal operators, steamboat owners
and the Monongahela Navigation
Company.
The action grows out of the fact
that Congress, by way of move
ment to make the entire stream free
of tolls, authorized the purchase o.
the dam and lock named, fixing the
price at the actual value of those
Improvements. The company nam
ed, which has held for such long
time one of the biggest bonanzas
hereabouts, objected to the propos
ed purchase unless the government
agreed to pay the full value of its
earning franchise, this is to be de
termined by the earning franchise
of the locks of each pool. This was
refused, hence the appeal to the
United States supreme court.

Three-Ply Runaway.

A damaging runaway occurred or
Thursday in South Morgantown.
Miss Dora Parftt was driving in q
buggy, followed by one of Fred Chris
tens freight wagons, driven by a
young man named Newman. This
wagon was passed by George Baker
which frightened the wagon horse,
and he ran, colliding with Baker s
cart, and tearing it to pieces. Ba-
ker's horse was thrown down, and
George held it to keep it from run.
ming. The wagon horse by this time
had collided the wagon with Miss
Paritt's buggy, from which she was
thrown violently to the ground and
the wheels of the vehicle passed ovel
her, cutting her face and bruising
her wrist and ankle. Her horse and
Christen's both broke out of their re
spective vehicles and ran over the
bridge and were caught in town.
The buggy was the least damaged
of any of the vehicles, the cart and
wagon both being wrecked. Miss
Parfitt was the only person who re
ceived bodily injury in the three-ply
runaway. She was taken to her home
and is improving, though her injur.
les were painful indeed 1t is thought
that no permanent affiiction will re
suit to her.

A New Baptist Church.

The Baptists of this place have re
ceived the plans for new church
building from Architect John c. Full
ton, of Uniontown, which shows q
beautiful, modern structure, to BIZ
made of brick and stone, at a cost
estimated between $4,000 and $4,000
The church will be built this fall, il
the confident assurance of several
prominent members.
That congregation now owns the
lot on Main street between the resi-
dences of w. w. Hayes and George
G. Steele, but as it is only so feet in
width, and the plans of their new
church calls for lot some wider
they will make an effort to exchange
for another lot, but failing in this
they will erect the building on the
lot mentioned.
The present Baptist church has
been purchased by Prof Reynolds
81, 800 being the price paid for it.
In all probability this building will
be used for the Biblical Institute, Of
which this paper made mention last
week.
The Baptists are now well sup
piled with funds for a new church
building, and the contract for one
will probably be let in few days

For Sunday Mail.

Sunday trains and Sunday mails
in Morgantown! Why not? We
haven't them yet but they can be
had.
Weston has Sunday train. There
are two Sunday trains on the Mon
ongah road, The valley on those
routes is not SO populous as along
the F., M. & p But the people ask
ed for and got Sunday trains. They
didn't get them till they did ask for
them.
The b. q 0. people would in all
reasonable probability run a train
once each way from Fairmont here il
a concerted movement were made to-
ward securing it. 1t would pay the
road. 1t would be convenience to
the people. Few towns in the coun-
try the size of Morgantown that have
trains at all that do not have Sunday
trains One mail day on Sunday
is not much to ask for.
We are growing, and with US grows
a desire for Sunday trains and mails.
Before a great while a new time ia
BILE will go into effect. If a proper ef-
fort is made by the people of Nor
gantown and Of those living along
Che route of the road Sunday train
might be established to begin at that
time.
Let us ell get together and try the
railroad on this matter 1t will not
be necessary to have it shown tina,
the venture will be a paying one
AT least the road would lose no mon
ey by it, and Morgantown and all
places along the road would rejoice
in the acquisition of mail on Sun
days.

The Sign on the Hospital.

Probably guided by the suggestion
in last weeks NEW DOMINION, the re-
publicans have wisely and ohliging-
ly anticipated the curiosity of the
people, and inscribed on the shed af-
fair recently erected on Peasants
street, in letters large enough to be
read as far away as the building car
be seen, what it is intended for. These
letters say on the side facing west
Getty HOSPITAL FOR SICK REPUBLICANS. y
On the front the directory of the
institution is printed, and the names
of these officers are f. M. Grant and
B. M. Jones.
1t was kind to the naturally in
curing minded populace to brand
the purposes in letters Of living black
There can be no mistake of its pur
pose and the intention for which il
was, in the abundance of the proven
bal generosity of the republicans
erected. They have reputation fol
going about the country doing good
as the decreased wages of laborers il
all protected" manufacturing indus
tries of the country is great wads O
evidence, and this was one of. theil
kind acts.
1t is well to have hospital fol
sick members of the party that makes
the rich richer. They are sick il
Monongalia even, and the institution
is well timed. 1t will be crowded tt
its utmost capacity the week follow
ing the election.
IL has been said that the building
is a wigwam and that some very ba(
boys painted its sign at or about tn,
witching hour Of IL on Saturda,
night. Sope believe this, but TIN
fact seems TO be that there is les
joke than one would imagine in tn,

University Notes.

Prof. Vickers, of Jefferson county
who taught preparatory mathematics
and English last year, is now taking
course in History and Political
Economy at Harvard. He was here
at the opening of the University.
The interest taken in the gymnasi-
um by the students is very crafty
ing to the faculty. One hundred
suits have already been ordered, and
T it is presumed that nearly all of the
students will take the course. The
faculty, after considering the ques-
ton, decided by very narrow ma
jority, not to make it compulsory
but instituted provision that every
student should wear gymnasium
suit when exercising.
There are seventy-five new stu
dents this year, thirty-seven of whom
are cadets.
Guns and stationery were issued
to the cadets on Saturday.
There is conspicuous disposition
on the part of the students to take
more active interest in the literary
societies than heretofore. Both Of
them are in fourishing condition

Burned His Little Sister to Death.

A story cones from Masontown
which seems almost incredible. 1t
tells of the burning of Geo. Gould's
little six-year-old daughter by her
eleven-yea old brother. Mr.. Gould
lives near coal bank from which
his son had been carrying their sup
ply of fuel. One day recently the
little girl was sent with him to the
coal bank. This made him angry
and he declared he would burn her
up. His mother never once thought
that he would carry out his threat,
and insisted that the little girl
should accompany him. At the
mine, according to the report, he did
actually carry out his fiendish threat.
He set her clothes afirc with a pit
lamp which he carried The clothes
were almost burned from the child's
body. She died that night in hor-
rible agony. Before she died she
said her brother had burned her.
