vanyoorhis Station-Perhaps.

A deal was consummated last
Thursday which will result in a new
and extensive trading point being
established down on the line of the
railroad extension. By it's terms
Isaac Vanvoorhis becomes the owner
OF the Is acres of land, transferred
by P. H. Darrow, which lays between
Lock No. and Collins Ferry, on
the river-near enough to each to
make it convenient to be reached by
travellers from the other side. On
the same day the location of sta
ton for the railroad was made on
the land, the ground staked off for
it and the work on the excavation
for the building has begun. Two
new wagon roads from the station
will be at once made, one running to
abe Point Marion pike and the other
to the new ferry landing to intersect
with the road on the west side. Mr..
Vanvoorhis will erect a large build:
ing in which to conduct general
merchandise establishment at the
station, and from it's location it may
readily be seen that it will become a
trading point of considerable i'm.
portance, as it will supply country
in which there are no stores close al
hand, and the fact that it will be q
stopping place for trains will be an.
other great attraction to the place.
1t centers in rich, populous neigh,
borhood.
The anxities of those who were
fearful lest there would be no sta
tion established in that neighbor
hood may now be put at rest, Il
may also be depended upon that the
railroad agency at chat point will
be given to Mr.. Vanvoorhis, and nj
better selection could be made. WHY

The Deckers Creek Mill to Change
Hands.

Mr.. +. j. Kern has sold his lease
of the Morgantown Mills and the
stock on hand to jefferson Tenant
and S. A. Barker who are to take
possession March 1st. We under
stand that Mr. Kern has been doing
a very satisfactory business and
commands large trade. His sale
was rather surprise. The new les
sees are very excellent gentlemen and
we hope will make fortune in their
new venture.

THERE is very little scarlet fever
in town now. Now it is well to bear
in mind any preventive means against
it or other contagious. Many cases,
all the physicians agree, are commun-
icated by germs left in the carpet of
the sick room or in books sick chill
dren are allowed to use. As great
care, they say, should be exercised
to sterilize all germs after the dis
ease disappears. as to isolate the pa
tient while sick. Medical science
has made wonderful progress in the
treatment of the gravest diseases,
and perhaps greater in preventing
the spread of contagion, but the
greatest drawback is found in the
lack of cooperation by the families
and friends of patients, who either
from lack of intelligence pr Indiffer-
ence frequently ignore the physicians
instructions. It Is stated by doctors
that fully half the cases of contagious
diseases in Morgantown in the past
year would not have occurred had
the physicians' instructions been i'm
plicitly and intelligsntly carried out

A NEW LEAF TO Be TURNED,

On February Ist my

carded and business
done for cash or
satisfactory trade.
This will be far bet
ter for my customers
and myself. When
all buy for cash no
one pays for the bad
debts of his neighbor.
When all pay cash |
can sell goods from
five to ten per cent
cheaper. This is a
plain, simple business
proposition. No man
who thinks a mo-
ment will doubt it.
In nearly all business
the cash and prompt
payi 6 customer
pays the losses caus-
ed by the bad paying
ones. Nc one
doubts this. Why
not all pay cash and
save this tax?
My stock will be re-
newed in greater va
riety than ever the
latter part of this
month and every ar
ticle will be offered
at the lowest possible
figure.
Leave your orders
for all groceries and
family supplies with
me and they will be
filled to the letter

that can be had. II

date to base prophecy as to the
time of probable construction. But
this is the way with railroads. They
are events that cast their shadows
before, though it sometimes happens
there are more shadows than events.
This Pennsylvania one is a rather
substantial sh adow, or getting to be,
and it need not be surprising if the
event is some place not very far in
the rear.
To MAKE wagon bridge across
the ravine through the University
grounds in place of the foot bridge
which now spans it is being talked
of some by those who also hope to
see University driveway-on the plot
of the B. q 1. company's addition
constructed. This driveway, as laid
of, begins at the north end of the
bridge and proceeds with the brow
of the hill down and intersects Beech
urst avenue. The bridge would make
the driveway possible, or the drive
way to be built would make more
flattering the prospect of the bridge.
If both were constructed it would
make the addition more readily
reached from the business part of
the town.
THE apprehensions that some peo-
pie had when we began to use gas
that the supply would give out seem
in no danger of being realized.
Though for several years oil this
country has been using it extrava-
gantly there is no diminuition in the
supply. The pressure would indicate
that the adjacent field would supply
hundreds of factories for a century.
There is no place that offers greater
inducements to manufacturing estab-
lishments that mean business than
Morgantown. We may add that 8
great many Smart Alexis have open
ed correspondence with our improve
ment company who wanted to play
the shark but they fonnd no suckers.
Any honest reliable firm that means
anything will meet with warm wei
come here.

improvement. Now if the road were
widened and well finished with the
substantial assistance Of macadam
there could little more be desired to
make the locality one of great at
traction for places of abode. Those
residents mp there who cater to the
aesthetic also want to have the name
changed from Stringtown to Stand
ard Way, in honor of the company
which located the pump station up
there.
ABOUT As car loads of ballast are
hauled every day onto the railroad
extension. The construction train
makes three trips daily, hauling Ii
cars to train. A car load of bal
last will not do for car length of bal.
lasting by any means. Heavy drivers
are used to compress the Stag and
cinder in solidly below and between
the ties, and to fill up all low places
along the sides and in the course OF
the track. This ballast work is be
ing done slowly, but very well done
Since last week but little progress
toward this end has been made, as
it all has been gone over again
and packed more substantially than
heretofore.
JOHN HUNT, who more than any
one in the business satisfies the
highest cultured tastes of those who
love the good things oflife that come
in the shape viands and victuals, has
enlarged his place and is now better
than ever prepared TO feed all who
call. He has leased the room form
erly occupied by Joe Diggs, which
is specially ladies' dining room
which now gives him the entire ares
floor of the Commercial. The lunch
room is where it was formerly and
the kitchen Is between the two eat
ing rooms. He serves the besi
meals, lunches, oysters, ETC., and
make special arrangements for ban

The masquerade ball at the Opera

very successful one, The attendance was
much larger than at the masquerade Of
the year preceding.
The card parties which furnished so
much amusement for the young people of
this city since the opening of the winter

ABOUT 800 people were present at
the Turner Masquerade ball on Tues
day night. Many Of the masks were
very fine and the ball was a success in
every particular. Hartmann wrapped
himself up in the stars and stripe
and thus arrayed. was an excellent
porsonation of Uncle Sam. In angu-
larity and facial cOntiguration, Hart
mann would make a fine Uncle Sam
without the stars and stripes or much
of anything else.
The stage performance was particu
larly fine and won general commenda-
ton. There were y prizes given for
deserving masks.

MADISON, Wis. Feb. 3, 1894.
| DEAR SIR:-In an article in The Pilot
Of Jan. oath. regarding the proposed
drainage canal at Chicago, some alarm
was expressed as to the probable effect
this new outlet will have upon the level
of the lakes. Whatever water is taken
from Lake Michigan by the proposed
Chicago outlet will OF course diminish
by that amount the quantity flowing
through the St. CLAIR river, the natural
outlet OF the three upper lakes. As was
stated ID the article the capacity of the
lew canal will be about 100000 cubic
feet per minute or 10000 cubic feet per
second, while the mean discharge OF the
St. Clair river is approximately 225,00O
cubic fee per second, the former being
only Il per cent. OF the latter The low
ering in the level of the lakes then will
be just enough to reduce the discharge
of tie St. Clair river Al per cent.
The quantity of water discharged by a
river depends upon the area of It's cross
section and the velocity of the water,
both of which quantities decrease when
the depth decreases. The variation in
the depth of the st. CLAIR river therefore.
due to this cause, Will be considerably
less than Az per cent. The level Of the
lakes will not be lowered more than three
or four inches at the most, and will prob
ably be much less than that. As this is
a small amount compared with the
changes in level produced by variation
IN rainfall, winds, etc, 1t is not at all
probable that the depth of water in our
harbors will be affected by any appre-
cable amount upon the completion Of
the Chicago drainage canal or that lake
interests will receive any harm whatever
from this source,

was one of the most successful in every
respect ever given in this city. The ar
rangements were in skillful hlnds and
the hall decorations were very fine in con-
sequence. Large festoons of evergreens
swung from the front of the stage
and large mirrors were so placed as to
reproduce the scens where youth and
pleasure met" 1t was a recherche affair
throughout. The dresses were elegant
and the attendance large. Amusement
loving people look with expectancy for
dances under the auspices of this society
aud expectation always falls short of the
reality.
