1t Pains Them,

The fact that from 200 to 400 cars
of coal from the West Virginia mines
are being daily hauled over the F.,
NJ. & P. railroad into Pennsylvania
hurts the feelings of the citizens of
that state who drop into Morgantown
and see it go by just AZ of them,
so far, have been heard to say, "They
never sidetrack a passenger train
down our way to let a coal train
pass" 1t does no good to inform
them that there are no side tracks
along the F., nj. & 2. long enough to
hold the big coal trains, they go
right ahead singing the same old
song, and it soon becomes apparent
that the pain they feel is not so much
from desire to keep out our coal in
order to aid the miners to win their
strike, as from the knowledge of the
fact that the West Virginia coal is
getting a fair trial in the markets it
has not heretofore had access to and
that it will be competitor in these
markets in the future. The old cry
Of West Virginia coal and coke is
not as good as that 10 Pennsylvania, u
will not go since the consumers have
had the opportunity to give it a fair
and impartial trial. When the strike
is over our neighbors will find that
it will not be necessary to side track
near SO many of their coal trains as
formerly to let the passengers go by
The most of the coal trains will b,
ours.

Col. CopeIands's Lecture.

The lecture given last Tuesday
night by Col. L. F. Copeland under
the management of the Banner Lee
ture Course was one of the best of
the season. The Colonel needs no
introduction to Morgantown audi
ence. His topic for the evening was
Seeing the Elephant" He handled
the subject in way peculiarly his
own. His excellent delivery, his
copious vocabulary, his personal
magnetism and his long established
reputation as a platform orator, all
combine in making him please his
audience wherever he goes. For one
hour and half he poured his ring
ing words of truth upon his hearers,
mingled at times with just enough
wit to make it enjoyable as well as
instructive. His lecture showed him
to be man of wide learning, and
rich in experience. He succeeded
in adding another star to his crown
of fame on this occasion. He will
receive warm welcome on his next
visit. The lecture committee is to
be congratulated upon having pro
cured the services of such all excel.
lent set of lecturers as have appear
ed before us this year. 1t is to bt
hoped that this feature of the Uni
yersity may continue to improv,
and that next season may give vi
another series of intellectual treatl
which may even surpass those of til,

pay total costs of the wedding and
bridal tour. He secured the neces-
sary writ of attachment from the
County Clerks office, which took
the dollar and left but twenty nine
cents for the preacher The happy
couple then repaired to the residence
of George Buckalew, of this place,
where they were made one by Rev.
George Buckalew, a Dunkard minis
ter, who was there visiting his son.
The groom gave the preacher
the twenty cents, all he had left, and
the newly welded couple left via the
Kingwood and Tunnelton Pike for
their home at the Camp Ground, re
turning as they came, on foot, hav-
ing walked twenty miles that day on
their wedding trip. The groom is
Charley higgins, whose wife died a
few months ago leaving him a house
full of small children, hence his des-
perate determination to get another
housekeeper. The brides name was

 At 10 o'clock the Jib was brought out and In the presence of 1000 people was sent warming up heat in 2:l5. In a few minutes he again came on the track driven by Andy Mcdowell. and after scoring once his driver nodded for the word Up the track the fleet footed animal vent without skip. In he came to the home stretch; appar- cntly going faster at every step. .
 When the time of 1591a was an nounced the spectators could scarcely believe it, and still more dumbfounded were they when the last half was an nounced as in 5Sh.

JEWISH NEW TEAR.
Services Last Evening at the Jewish Places
 of Worship.

Services Last Evening at the Jewish Places of Worship.
 The celebration of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, was begun by the Hebrew people of this city with the solemn rites which have characterized the day for centuries. The coming year is numbered 5655 in the Jewish calendar The religious year began yesterday; the civil year begins with the month of Nissan, which generally falls about the month of April.
 The festival of the New Year is more
 generally observed among the Hebrews than any other of the numerous feasts and lasts in the calendar of the Jewish church, with the single exception o1 Tom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement which will fall on October 10 this year Business is generally suspended in He brew commercial circues during the New Year celebration, and the temples and synagogues are thronged with wor- shippers. Among the orthodox Hs- brews the festival IS celebrated for two days, but those adherents of the faith who have accepted the principles of the reform movement, which of late years has made such marked progress, con- fine the celebratio to one day.
 Like all the festivals in the Jewish calendar, the celebration begins at sun set and continues until the sunset of the following day. The celebration of the New Year begen, therefore, last evening. There were services at all of the Jewish places of worship, and ser vices will be held this morning also. The ritual for last evening was the usual Sabbath evening services, with special prayers appertaining to the new year. Sermons appropriate to the ocoa- sion were preached at the leading syn agogues.

JAPAN TO DIVIDE CHINA.

One Kingdom is to be Given to Li Hung sChang.
 London, Sept. 3o.-The Times will pub- fish tomorrow the following from its Berlin correspondent:
 The London agent of the Frankfort Zeitung has been informed by g per- sonage intimate with affairs in eastern Asia that the Japanese intend, if their good fortune continues, to divide the Chinese empire into three independent kingdoms, to be ruled over by native princes. One kingdom is to be given to Id Hung Chang, whi is cognixant of the scheme If necessary Japan will summonxa conference of the European powers to decide as to the division. The Frankfort zeitung says:
 ''This scheme Is not so wild as 1t first appears. Japan's object is to weaken China permanently. Russia will not tolerate the annexing of Corea. The execution of the scheme would be help ed by the antagonism between the Chinese and Manchung.',

FEARS FOR FOR 4 STEAMER.
The Knickerbocks with Many Passessers is isOvordue.

The Knickerbocke' with Many Passeasers is Overdue. New York, Sept. 30.-Advices from New Orleans state that the passenxer steamer Knickerbocker, Captain Hal- sey, of the Cromwell steamship line,
 running between this city and New Or
 leans, which sailed from this port Sep tember g, has not arrived at her des-
 tination and much anxiety is felt for
 her safety, there being quite number
 of people from New Orleans aboard.
 The Knickerbocker makes the trip be-
 tween the two points in from six to eight days, and as she has probably
 encountered the biz storm it is possible she may have been compelled to go out of her course, thereby causing some delay. The Knickerbocker has not been re-
 ported by any steamers arriving at this
 port since she left here. This may be
 accounted for, however, if she was obliged to alter her course on account
 of the storm. The Knickerbocker is of LAO tons register It was impossible to ascertain the number of passengers on
 board the vessel or their names, the office of her agents being closed to- night.
