steam shovel at Norrie mine started up

The Sewerage Proposition Again De.
feated

The proposition for the issuing of
$11 900, in bonds for the purpose of
constructing general and complete
system of sewerage within the town
was voted upon for the third time
Saturday June 23d., and for the third
time knocked out by the vox populi
There was not much excitement dur
ing the day as it was too hot for
even a ward politician to move about
so the vote can be taken as an ex-
preston of the free will of the people
at this time on the sewerage ques-
ton. Only POS citizens managed to
leave the cake of ice that they were
holding down or crawl out of the eel
lar and walk through the boiling
sun to the polls. Of this number
13S said by their ballots that they
did not want sewers, or else the town
had already built sewers for them,
and 70 expressed desire to have
sewers, inasmuch as they are paying
taxes to pay for the sewers that the
town has already put down along the
homes of many of the 1873. Since
the town has put in so many sewers,
it is morally certain that a PROPOSE
tion to bond the town for the pur-
pose of giving all. the citizens an
equal right to the enjoyment of
public Improvements will never carry,
the little matter of taxes that they
g. 4 l.. ] L
who are now enjoying the blessings
of sewerage "cuts no figure with the
people who have sewerage connection
already, SIR" and the only way, it is
certain, to overcome this personal
"hog policy" is for the council to go
right ahead and construct sewers
throughout the town.

They saw Pittsburg.

The first excursion from West
Virginia to Pittsburg over the Fair
mont, Morgantown & Pittsburg rail
road was run Sunday June Gath, and
proved a success. The first sec.
tion of the train left Buckhannon at
about l A. NJ, took on passengers at
Weston, Clarksburg and Fairmont.
A great many people from Grafton
boarded the train at the latter place.
When the train whistled for Nor
grntown there was wild rushing
about on the crowded platform by
the 40 Morgantowners who held
tickets and wanted to secure their
grip sacks and coffee bottles, but
that engine which was hauling Ia
crowded coaches didn't stop wheel,
in fact, she gave an awful snort just
as she crossed the bridge and about
the same time the crowd as one man
grabbedIitslhat and..saw something go
by with a rattle and puff of smoke
The siekly grin that wandered
oNcl VhS iaCSS vi lHt Do1s VINO Hdu
tickets did not resolve itself into
recognizable smile until after the
telegraph operator explained that
the excursion train was running in
two sections. Half an hour after
the phantom train passed by the
second section consisting of eight
coaches pulled into the station and
everybody hustled aboard. Nine
coaches returned at 1890 p. NJ, but
many of the "excurters' remained
over in Pittsburg returning Mon
day. Everybody reported good
time and the smoky City" exeur-
sions have doubtless come to stay
as popular institution.

Well Said.
Fairmont Index.

The year just closed at the Uni.
versity was most satisfactory one.
The number of students was larger
than during any year in the history
of the school and the work done was
most proficient. AT the recent meet
ing of the Board of Regents not many
changes in the faculty were made.
In fact nothing was done that might
be construed into change DR..
Reynolds who had succeeded so ad-
mirably as acting president, was
continued in the capacity with all
the powers of the president. The
chair of English was re-established
and Prof. r. A. Armstrong was trans
ferred from the chair of Mathema-
tics to that of English, and Prof. J..
S. Stewart was elected professor of
Mathematics. The other professors
were e-elected. There is a DISPOSE
ton manifested among the faculty
to go out over the State and &C
quaint the young men with the ad
vantages offered by the University,
and if this is done there will be over
three hundred young men enrolled
there the coming year. There is
nothing the matter with this school,
and it offers inducements second to
none in the land. Every West Vir-
ginia boy should avail himself of
the facilities for obtaining first
class education so bountifully of
fered to him by his own State.

AlOnZO Rice Badly Hurt.

Alonzo Rice, who lives near town
and is section hand on the F., M.

being crushed to death Saturday
and as it was received a severe in
jury. The hands were working be-
low town and started up on hand
car when Rice was sent in advance
at the curve below town to flag the
car in case train was approaching.
Just as the hand car came around
the curve Rice started to run but
stumbled and fell headlong on the
track, the car was too close upon
him for him to get ont of the way
and he fattened himself out on the
crossties just as the car whizzed over
him without ever touching a hair
When Rice fell his wrist struck an
old can or piece of glass and severed
an artery. No time was lost in get
ting him to town and the wound
which is bad one, was dressed b,

recover the use of his hand, but TAX
