Base Ball as a Tonic.

The first game of baseball of the
season was played Saturday between
the University team and the River
Bend club, picked nine from near
Little Falls this county. A good
crowd attended the funeral of the
visitors and as the game was played
on the University grounds adjacent
to the M. E. Cemetery the Varsity
boys tumbled the Benders over the
fence and carted large mound of
damp yellow mud on top Of the m
and pounded it down "a times while
the corpse made 7 feeble kicks. The
rain kept a large number of mourn
ers from being present at the inter-
ment but the crowd that assembled
TO witness the last sad rites will not
need any "fat' patent tonic as the
laugh increased their bay windows
to such an extent that they are now
trading off their old clothes a nd in
vesting their cash in anti fat. The
game had not much more than start
ed until it became evident that the
River were being fast frozen over
and would not run long, and the
spectators let themselves loose for a
good laugh. After the game the I'm
iversity boys marched around town
with drums and tin horns and the
citizens who did not go up to the
funeral got the benefit of the wake,
which although continued until af-
ter the corpse was planted was lack
ing nothing in fervency. O! yes, the
score was University "a, Benders Z.

ANOTHER UNFORTUNATE.
Joseph Tetrick of Harrison County,
Blows His Brains Gut.
CIarksburg News.

Josepb Tetrick, a young man oil
80 years, living near Enterprise this
county, committed suicide Saturday
evening last by blowing out his
brains with revolver. About
seven o'clock in the evening he left
the house telling his mother that be
was going out to shoot some birds.
Failing to return in a reasonable
time search was instituted for him
and his dead body was found about
a hundred yards from the house
with a pistol shot in the forehead.
He was son of Alfred Tetrick of
this county and highly respected
young man. His family are unable
to assign any cause for his rash act,
though some of his intimate friends
claim that his mind has been affected
for some time. Several years ago he
accidently shot and killed friend of
his and this is thought to have
afterwards weighed heavily upon
him. His funeral took place at En-
terprise, Sunday, and was one of the
largest funerals ever seen in that
community.

1T PROMISES TO BE A POPULAR

Varied and Beautiful Scenery Along the
Line and Fine Fishing in the Waters
Of the Cheat River. The b. &

From FairmOnt
ConnelIsxille Courier

Connellsville Courier.
The new Eairmont branch will be
popular for picnic and fishing par
ties during the coming summer.
There is no piece of road in Western
Pennsylvania that has finer scenery
than that from Uniontown to Nor
gantown. The Cheat river region
will be counter attraction to Ohio
pyle this season. The distance from
Fittsburg is not much farther and
the rate will be about the same.
For variety of scenery that between
Uniontown and Morgantown beats
anything in the State. From I'm
iontown to Fairchance the excur-
sionists get an excellent idea of the
great coke industry Of the Connells-
vile region. In that distance there
are over 1000 ovens in view of the
railroad. The line from Fairchance
is through some of the finest farm
ing land in the State. 1t runs just
far enough away from the. foot OF
the mountains, which are on the
left, to make the landscape beauti-
full. Four or five old, but pretty
and interesting little villages, add to
the attraction of the route.
At Cheat Haven the line strikes
the Cheat river and follows it -four
miles down to Point Marion, where
the stream empties into the Monon-
gahela. The Cheat river will be the
chief attraction of the new Fairmont
branch to excursion parties and fish
ing clubs. For many years Pitts
burgers have made it summer re-
sort and this year it will be more
popular than ever The mountains
along the Cheat are wild and beau
tiful. The stream itself affords the
best fishing in the western part OF
the State. From Point Marion to
Morgantown the route is up the
Monongahela. Along this part OF
the road the scenery is very attrac-
tive, with the broad Monongahela
ON one side and the mountains on
the other. Morgantown has a his
tory in itself. 1t is one of the old.
est town in West Virginia. Much

ed there and vicinity, aud it is the

The B. q o. are getting their coal
supply now from the West Virginia

railroad companies gobbled up all
the coal billed along their lines
which had not yet reached its dist
