The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1894-03-17

cobs of this place, presiding at the
Richie court few days ago, made
an interesting discussion to the eff
feet that trial before the Mayor is
only for breach against the Cor
poration, and does not settle the
breach against the dignity of the
State, and fine by The Mayor is
not bar against state prosecution.
In THE general movement of build
ing and identifying, the churches
should not drop behind. Strangers
are always impressed by the exter-
ior appearance of churches as relat-
ing to the nature of the town. This
being true, if some poor opinions of
Morgantown are ever INDUCED are
the churches not partially, RESPONSE
BILE? They all need general repair,
regeneration, renovation.
SMYTH Bros. have sold an interest
in their store at Vaudeville Landing
to Mr. Ed. Dusenberry and that
branch of their business will hereaf-
ter be conducted under the firm
name Of J. II. Smyth q Co. Smyth
Bros. will still continue their furni-
tnre and undertaking business at
Vaudeville. All the young men con
nected with the two establishments
are clever, energetic, upright gentle
men and deserve to succeed
WE have talked great deal about
our people buying grain and hay in
the west The lesson has had its eff
fects and very much less of this sort
of thing will occur in the future
When we see grocers bringing in
crates of cabbage and other vegeta-
bles, we might say why not raise all
we can use at home and goodly
quantity to export? 1t can be done
No place in the world is better adapt
ed to such industry than Mononga-
liza county.
D. c. HOFFMAN, one of the best
posted men on dairying that it has
been the good fortune of this com
munity to have for citizen, can
make it so plain that dairying is one
of the most profitable agricultural
ventures that he who runs may read
Mr.. Hoffman has been invited to
make speeches, with dairy farming
as his subject, over the country, but
has so far not signified an acceptance
when the people know they invest"
So said John Corrothers. So say
we all.
THERE are people in this town who
may always be depended upon to vote
against sewerage bonds but who
would vote for bonds to buy the sus-
pension bridge. There are people
in this town who may always be de
pended upon to vote against bonds
to buy the suspension bridge but
who would vote for sewerage bonds.
Each of this class is numerous
enough to probably defeat the wish
es of the other. 1t might have done
to have voted on both kinds of bonds
at the same time, and then each
would have had his way.
THE B. d l. company makes a
splendid earnings showing Com
pared to neighboring boom com
panies which put property prices
skyward, bought heavily and then
the drop coming with dull, sicken-
ing thud, the B. & l. is in for a
double share of congratulations The
affairs of this company have been
directed by rational conservatism
which is bound to pay at the general
reckoning. Fake factory companies
were given the goby, and the way
the matter now stands it is a very
fine thing thing they were.
GEORGE C. HAYES has let the con.
tract for his new dwelling to Huston
d Domain, and last week the exca-
walton for the foundation was begun.
In the place where the digging is 60
ing on is where considerable of the
overflow of one of the foul drains
that must be repaired settles, and it
was necessary to use lime and other
disinfectants on the earth removed.
Mr.. Hayes will improve his portion
of the drain from his private means
and the town will do the rest, and
this will make the locality as health
full as any place. But the town must
do its part of the drain repairing.
The weather signal flags again
wave from the staff on the municipal
building. The established service
began Saturday, and the flags are
displayed to forecast weather in ac-
cordance with diurnal reports from
the weather bureau at Washington.
Sergeant Bennett attends to the flags
and he receives his reports at the
U. S. engineers office-in fact, Col.
Golay was instrumental in having
the service re established. After this
if any one has any complaint against
the weather let him go to Sergeant
Bennett and try and have it changed
Tim promises to give US fine spring
and pleasant summer, though it is
yet too early for him to make any
promises regarding next fall and
winter.
INSPECTION parties come and in.
spection parties go on the railroad
extension, and these inspection par
ties are quite necessary to the well
being of the road no doubt, but they
fail to let the people know just when
the road is to be opened for business
The Pittsburg chamber of commerce
viii ask to have the road opened
March 26, but that is impossible
Chief Engineer Manning said, last
Thursday when here, to Maj Nc
Grew, that the next time he came
from Pittsburg here il would be in a
regular passenger train But ht
failed to say just when this will be
| Mr. O'Conner, field man for Drake
Stratton q CO., saws he can have his
work finished and turn the road ovel
TO the company in two weeks, thai
| is, it would be possible to do that
but he will turn it over to the com
panv some time in April The con
tractors have some work to do asid,
from repairing those awful sinh
holes, but this will take the mos
time. 1t is possible that the roat
will be opened in April, but it is no
at all probable. No B. d. o. office
!. knows exactly when it will be open
ed, neither does any contractors Of
licer, consequently no one else Il
posted as to precise date. Some dal
soon it will be opened. In two Of
three weeks it will be known jus
