WILsoN-On September 26th Mrs.
Eliza Wilson died at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. B, w. Smith, at
Minneapolis, aged so years. Until
within week previous to the disso-
luton she had retained remarkable
vigor for one so aged, but while sit
ting in her chair size fell asleep and
dropped from the chair, the fall
causing fracture of the arm near
the shoulder, from the shock and
pain of which she never recovered.
Deceased was the widow of the late
Hon, Edgar c. Wilson, who is re
membered by the older people as one
of the brightest of the former mem
bers of the Monongalia bar, and
from the time of her marriage in
1874 until her removal to the west
few years ago she resided in Nor
gantown, though a native of Fayette

Oliphant. She was the mother Of
four children, but one of whom is
living, Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Wilson
was one of the notable church
workers Of the Presbyterian demon
nation here, and her interest and
labor extended to her last illness.
She dispensed charity literally, sat
isfying herself only as to the worth
mess of the object. Truly it could
be said of her: "She was good
woman and with all the virtues,
deeds and acts which that implies.
Hers was beautiful faith which
made certainty OF the vast uneer-
tainty Of the sweet bye and bye"

A JOINT ORATORS STAND.
The Dems and RAIDS Bridge the Chasm
ON one Vital Point.

1t is not often that any subdivis-
ion of the two great parties go Ca
boots on any proposition, but here
in Monongalia wea are to have
practical demonstration Of the lion
and the lamb act. The Republicans
propose to thuse on the 9th. On the
18th the Democrats will go and do
likewise. Both have been bothered
by an absence of place to pack the
people while the soulful sound of
oratory goes marching on. So they
came together and agreed to go
halvers on erecting a grand stand in
front Of the court house, to be used
by both parties To do this the
consent of the county court was nee
essary. Tuesday Chairmen Glass
cock and Wharton confronted the
court with request of the necessa-
ry kind. The court got rid of them
by giving a favorable reply. Kay
Hess said it wouldn't hurt the grass.
In consequence of all which the
speechifying, thewool thrusts, the coal
pokes, the tariffs fluctuations will
be proed and coned from in front of
the Justice dispensary.

A TELEPHONE SYSTEM.
Efforts Being Made to Establish an Ex-
change in MOrgantOMn.

d. R, Tappan, of the Wheeling
headquarters Of the Bell telephone
company, is here interesting bust
ness men in the project of establish
ing a telephone exchange. Already
there have been several persons who
made contracts to have instruments
put in their places of business and
residences. Mr.. Tappan says that
the exchange will be established
here if % instruments are taken to
start out with. He is confident that
this number could be increased to
so before the end ola year.
All business houses, factories, pub
lie offices and many residences would
have telephone connection with
each other in a short time, or as soon
as the convenience and benefit of the
system would become apparent. The
rates will be $3.50 a year for the CON
nection with the Morgantown ex-
change alone, or $50 with privilege
to talk to Fairmont, Graft and
Clarksburg. Mr.. Tappan will can
vass the town thoroughly in the in
terest of the enterprise.

MARION'S DEMOCRATIC CONyEN.
TI0N.
Gov. Fleming Makes Strong Speech
and Enters into the Campaign with
VipOr

The Democrats of Marion county
gave the lie to the rumor of discord
in their ranks when they held their
convention Saturday. 1t was most
harmonious and enthusiastic meet
ing, and this very harmony and en-
thusiasm is the splendid indicator
the entire Second district Democra-
cy was looking for. II was such a
large convention that the court
house would not hold the people, and
an adjournment was taken to the
rink, and it was crowded. Judge
William S. Raymond was nominated
for Judge of the intermediate court
he is the present incumbent, George
Adams for County Commissioner
Henry B. Morgan and j. M. Tet-
rick, for members of the House of
Delegates, and Wesley Ruckett for
superintendent. 1t is strong tick
ct. Furthermore there seems to be
no doubt that every man upon it
will bear the palm of victory.
After the convention completed
its duties Elk Governor Fleming was
called for. What happened next froze
the marrows of the men who had
falsely said he would do nothing for
Democracy this year. He respond
ed, and standing upon his chair, he
delivered as eloquent and earnest a
speech as ever was heard in the Opera
House. He showed the benefits to
the people by Democratic success in
1892, told in glowing lines some of
the good things that had been ae-
complished by the Democracy, com
pared the present tariff bill with the
Mckinley iniquity, and wound up
with glowing tribute to- Congress-
man Wilson and urged the people to
stand TO him to man. He showed
that the eyes not only of our State,
but of the nation, were turned upon
this district and that to defeat Mr..
Wilson would be blow to the Dem
ocratic party of the nation. He was
frequently applauded and his speech
will do great good. The Governor
will go now actively into the cam.
paign.

Mr.. Cannon In Fayette.
Genius of Liberty.

Hon. Marion Cannon, representa-
tive in Congress from the Sixth dis
trict of California, is here this week,
the guest of his nephew, Deputy col
lector L. NJ. Harrington. Mr.. Cannon
was born in West Virginia, but was
a resident of New Geneva, this coun-
ty when he left for California in 1852.
He made good part of that trip
with an OK team. He first located
in Northern California and engaged
in mining, but attracted by the eli
mate and agricultural possibilities
of Southern California, he settled at
Ventura in that part of the State,
where he has fine farm which yields
him large income because of its
natural productiyeness and his intel
ligent slllage. The Sixth district was
artistically gerrymandered by the
Republicans and was supposed to be
safe for 5000 majority for any Re
publican who might be named on
their ticket. 1t had given that ma
jority to Republican candidates. Mr..
Cannon was a Democrat and active
in the Farmers Alliance. In 1892
he was Endorsed for congress by the
Democrats, Farmers Alliance and
Peoples Party and defeated his Re
publican opponent by a majority OF
$500. He was as much interested
in making the Legislature of Califor-
MIA Democratic as in his own cleo
ton and contributed largely to that
result, thus securing a Democratic
United States Senator and some
much needed state legislation.
He got enough of congress in one
term and refused a denomination. He
prefers the delights of his farm to
the annoyance of office seekers who
have somehow gotten the impression
that congressman are elected solely
to hunt positions for their constit-
uents. Mr.. Cannon's family ac-
companies him. They have been
visiting his early home and friends
in West Virginia and Geneva and
after few days with relatives mere
at Broadford and McKeesport will
return to their home in the Golden
State" While in West Virginia
Mr.. Cannon made few speeches
urging Upon the people the impar;
lance OF rejecting Hon
Wilson to Congrss(
Boys knee

A Good Shelving.

Notwithstanding that the leading
Universities and colleges of the coun-
try are complaining of a reduced at
tendance this year, the number of
students enrolled at this time in our
State University is the largest in its
history. Hard times and many 9th
er explanations are put forward to
explain the small freshman classes,
but with all these same influences
operating here as elsewhere, our I'm
iversity continues to lengthen its
it's roll in very gratifying way.
We congratulate the Board of Re
gents and the management generally
on this good showing.

INCENDIARISM.
The Fire Bug at hisWOrk Again-Three
Stables Burned.

Stables Burned.
On Monday morning near o'clock
Patrollman Joseph rang an alarm
from the tower of the municipal
building that brought fremen sour
rying from all directions. A bright
light was seen east of Spruce street
that proved to be Alfred Protzman's
stable. When discovered the whole
building was in blaze and was
practically consumed The fire soon
spread to George Vance's stable and
it was blazing vigorously when the
firemen arrived. Two streams were
turned on it and the fire was soon
under control but the other with all
its contents were destroyed The
building had not been used as a
stable for a long time but was stored
full of 7aber, tools and scores of
other articles. The loss will prob
ably reach $500, and was insured in
one of T. w. Anderson's companies
for $3.50. The fire was unquestion-
ably of incendiary origin
Not satisfied with the destruction
above noted, this great criminal, at
whose mercy everybody's property
seems to be, set his incendiary torch
to Fred Behring'S stable, situated on
the rear portion of his residence
property on Wiley street, Monday
night just after II o'clock. The
stable was small structure and was
completely enyeloped in flames in a
short time, though the prompt arri
val of Chief Miller's fire laddies and
their good work saved stables and
other buildings nearby from igni-
ting. The Dering stable was com
pletely destroyed, together with it's
contents of hay, grain and other ar
ticles. The stable had been built
but short time. 1t was insured in
agencies represented by T. w. An
derson for 5000. Mr.. Dering had
fortunately taken his horse and bug
gy to Uniontown the previous day.
