BAPTISTS.

The Baptists of the Central Part Of the
state to Make an Effort to Restore
Broaddus College to Its Former Use-
fulness.
7ofhs Editor or tbs REGISTER:
CLARKsBURG, September 6.
SIR: We Baptists Of this part OF the
State are not pleased with the action OF
Broaddus College trutees and are pre-
pairing to carry out the idea OF the gen.
eral association without the aid OF the
trustees of that institution.
Since Broaddus college closed her
doors, we as Baptists, have nothing TO
offer our Joung people. From the min
utes OF the last session of our general
association we learn that in order TO in
crease the usefulness OF Broaddus Col
lege and purchase more ground ana
erect new building the citizens OF
Cfarksburg had subscribed $4,000 and
offered options on six (6) different sites
TO the trustees, provided $40, 600 be
raised in gifts and subscriptions $4,000
OF which amount over and above all in
debtedness against the school, was In
the hands of the trustees in good cash
paper, leaving only $4,000 to be
secured,
And further, that the General Asso-
citation unanimously adopted the fol-
lowing:
RESOLVED, That it is the sense OF the
General Association that the work OF
securing the balance Of the $4,000 In
gifts and subscriptions for more ground
and new buildings for Broaddus Col
lege, at Clarksburg, West Virginia,
should be pushed by the trustees with
the greatest ensrgy; and that we COM
mend this worthy cause to our brethren
all over the State and that liberal offer
ings be made.
No meeting OF the Trustees was held
and no effort made to carry out the will
OF the General Association, so plainly
expressed. After the options on sites
had expired. an attempted sale OF the
College property was made to an ire
sponsible and insolvent party and that,
too, without security.
The Trustees, by q majority vote,
have decided not TO attempt to reopen
the college this year.
We feel that we cannot afford to lose
the vantage ground gained by the faith
full and efficient work done in the past
by Broaddus College. Boys and girls
from our Baptist homes will be drawn
away to other schools, and the princi-
Piles dear to every loyal Baptist heart
Slapped and undermined.
With these facts in view, the Union
Baptist Association, August "a, unanl-
mously appointed committee to have
charge of its educational interests, with
power TO act.
The following gentlemen were named
as committeeman: Rev. l.. w. Holden,
Rev. c. M. Thompson, j. K. Adams,
John Dunkin, Jed Payne, DIR. ID. c.
Copeland and J. Ed. Stuart
At the Broad Run Baptist Association
meeting held August 30 the following
committee was appointed to cooperate
with the Union Baptist Association:
Rev. j. A. J. Lightburn, Rev. j. s.
Fisher and Prof. w. M. Blair.
We are certain the brethren OF both
associations acted wisely and well.
Believing, as we do, that education is
the precursor of the Gospel, and that as
ignorance. tradition and superstition
shall give way TO truth, we should, Of
all people, be deeply interested and
strive to push forward the work already
outlined.

Wool Market.

There has been more doing the past week
owing to the action Of several large manu-
facturers, who bought freely of the low
priced woods offering. One buyer con-
tracted for 1000, 900 pounds Of territory at
a price that makes him feel safe even on
free-wool basis, while l,0OO, 600 pound lot
of Texas wool was also sold. These large
transactions do not all appear in the sales
reported, from the fact that only part Of
them have been delivered as vet. Outside
of those large sales, which were confined
to few houses. trade has been very dull,
with values yet strongly in favor OF the
BUYER, particular on territory grades.
Fleece woods are held steady. but move
slow. on the basis of 24c for Xxx and above
Ohio. No. fieeces and delaine feeces are
dull and nominal australian woods are
nominal, aud cannot be sold in competition
with domestic fieeces, except at great loss
to the importer.

FREE-FOR-ALL FIGHT

81 Scranton, Pa, July 24.-Saturday was

Poles began to drink heavily. At Z

arrected four Huns and lodged them in
joil. At o'clock the Hungarians held
an indignation meeting and then pro-
ceeded in a body to the Jail, where they
oFerpowered the keeper and liberated the
prisoners. This caused the largest riot
that has occurred in this region in six
teen years. The Pole took exception and
race war commenced, lasting three
hours, during which time there was a
reign OF terror, all saloons in the town
being taken possession of and the Of
6cers driven Off Over thirty men ERE
injured, three fatally, and one Pole had
his ears cut off. Many windows were
broken in with stones and clubs. Shortly

WARSHIP VICTORIA. 3
Irish RevolutiOnists Claim That the
Recent Disaster Was the Result
Of Plot of which They Were
the Authors. 5 5;

E. New York, July PA new and start
ling theory has been advanced as the
cause OF the sinking Of the British bat
tleship Victoria by the Camperdown.
Irish revolutionists claim that the sink
ing of the war vessel was the result not
Of accident, but Of deep laid plot which
has for its object the destruction, if
possible, Of the British navy and the in
Fiction of dire injury on England in
every quarter of the globe where her
flag flies. A circular, copy Of which
a morning paper succeeded in obtaining,
and which has been promulgated in Irish
Nationalist circles, claims for the revo-i
lutionists the honor Of striking such a
heavy blow to England. Referring to-
Admiral Tryon's vancouver, the circular,
which bears date July 10, says:
Admiral Tryon is not guilty of the
loss of the Victoria. He is victim Of
the sins of his country The vancouver
which he purposed the feet should per-
form, would have been successfully car
ried out had our brave brothers in Eng
lands service not been equal to the OPP
portunity afforded them and given them
selves willing sacrifice for the cause
of Ireland. The spirit of Emmett still
lives and the fight must be carried on
until England hauls down her flag in
Ireland. We have sworn brothers now
on almost every English war ship. We
have them in the English regiments at
home and abroad, and wherever the
english flag floats" LII
