m0soSGALIAss CAUGHT.
Pitfsburg Produce Firm, Which 0per-
ated Peculiarly Exposed.

Some Monongalia shippers Of
poultry were this year victimized by
swindling dealers in Pittsburg. The
following from a correspondent there
may show some of them that they
did not investigate very thoroughly
the commercial standing of their
men:
"a fine-looking man, styling him
self Frank johnson, came to this city
six or eight weeks ago and opened a
commission house on Liberty street,
under the firm name of Kirkpatrick
d johnson. To-day be is among the
missing, and many creditors mourn.
'As the kirkpatrick of the firm
has never been visible, it is supposed
johnson used the name because of
the honorable standing it has in
business circles. The firm flooded
Western Pennsylvania, Eastern
Oslo and West Virginia with circu-
lars offering farmers and agents com
missions and salaries considerably
better than other houses could afford
for poultry and produce of all kinds.
The house was soon doing an i'm
mense business, selling for cash on
ly, and at prices away below market
quotations.
sit appears that johnson, on one
pretext OF another, succeeded in
staving off creditors, making it rule
to pay for nothing until he had vic
timized his dupes to the extent of
thousands of dollars Some of the
commission men on the street es-
innate his swindle as high as $685.
600; others say $4,000"

THE DEAF MAY HEAR.
The Wonderful Device of A Weston
Man,

Frank E. Waterman, the cashier
of bank at Weston, himself former
ly quite deaf, has been made to hear
by the aid of an instrument which
he has been working on for many
years and now has had patented.
Several persons have tried it, and it
is pronounced success. The patent
is not yet on sale
The instrument consists of spiral
wire, which in connection with a rub
Der disk, or bulb. operating as an
artificial ear drum, conveys the sound
to the membrane tympdna, produc-
ing vibration, the one thing needful
in nine cases out of ten of deafness
The device when in position will be
scarcely visible, but its outer part
consists of a concavo convex diaph-
ragm of diaphanous rubber, as large
as can be placed on the external ear,
without Inconvenience, and only cas-
ually visible, which gathers and con
centrates the sound waves, and by
its connection with the spiral wire
entering the internal ear, CONVEYS the
sound directly to the natural or ar
tificial ear drum, producing a gentle
but effective vibration. The spiral
wire is so constructed as to prevent
injury to the delicate membranes of
the ear.
There is a mint of money in small
er things than this, and it is hoped
that the inventor may succeed in OBJ
tanning the relief he so much desires.
and the fortune that may follow it.

More Railroads Up the Valley.

ut can now be announced as pos
tive fact that the Pittsburg d Lake
Erie railroad will be extended up the
Monongahela valley Engineers are
now at work on the line finishing up
their work.
Such is the wording of an item
sent from Uniontown. 1t, in itself,
is vague, but it no doubt is a sequel
to the report sent out some time ago
that the Pennsylvania and Pittsburg
d Lake Erie roads were both laying
their plans to resp some of the profit
which the B. d o. is exclusively en-.
joying anent the development of the
Upper Monongahela Valley. The
Pennsylvania, there is little doubt,
will build during the coming year,
an extension from Brownsville up
the west side into this county. How
far and by what route the Lake Erie
road will come remains to be seen.

Corb Anderson AgainTries Matrimony.

Corbiy Anderson is again mar
ried man. From matrimonial
standpoint he believes in the old rule
of try, try again. Recently to Hy-
mems altar he led Miss Mary 4.
Youst, a young lady of % years
whose home is near where he resides
and has the custody of bis little
daughter every once in a while,
which is close the Marion line in
this county. The groom, who is now
but 80, has had great many vexa-
tous vicissitudes in recent years in
being able to retain possession of
his little girl after decree of divorce
from his wife had been rendered.
The erstwhile wife also wanted her
daughter and never lost an oppor-
tunity to take her, whether or no.
Several of Anderson's chases after
the woman in order to rescue the
child have been graphically describ-
ed in the public prints. However,
Mr.. Anderson is highly respected
as well as prosperous citizen, and
deserves some measure of marital
bliss.

MAY BUILD NO. 10.
Strong Reasons Will be Presented to
Congress to Make the Necessary APP
preparation.

The opposition which was raised
in Morgantown to building dam No.
10 at Falling run is now being con
sidered by the chief engineer of the
United States and his staff, at Wash
ington. 1t would seem that since
Secretary Lamont has recommended
that 100000 be appropriated to
build dam No. 10, the engineers are
paying more attention TO the loca-
tion of the dam than formerly, as
now there is a chance, possibly a
slim one, that work may be ordered
to begin within the next few months
There is opposition to locating the
dam below town, but it may be
doubted if this objection will profit
anything, as it is not founded upon
the basis of good philosophy. Really
there is no objection, when practical
ly considered, but the wishes of the
people here are what are being con
sidered
The chief engineer does not stop
at asking for 100000 to build dam
No. 10. He asks for a full appro-
priation to build the entire series of
six locks and dams, which will be
necessary to slack the river to Fair
mont. The cost of the entire work,
including lock keepers, dwellings
and the necessary outbnildings for
each lock, will be about ST., 100000,
an average of 100000 for each lock
and dam. 1t will be both economl-
cal and advantageous to the United
States to make an appropriation of
the entire amount required for the
completion of the improvement and
providing for such annual expendi-
ture as may be thought advisable.
Thus the annual expenditure for
lock and dam No. 10 recommended is
within $4,000 of completing the
next great work as a starter to ulti-
mately make navigation TO the riv-
er's head.
The appropriation of $4,000 in
1892 for the extension of the i'm
provement of the Monongahela is in
line with the recommendation here
tofore made, but this improvement
will be of little value until completed.
Those who would be most bene-
fitted by the building of the new
lock and dam would be the syndi-
Gates of coal land lessees, who own
many hundreds of acres of coal on
the west side of the river in this
county. The making of but the one
dam would be the means for them to
develop their large bituminous hold
ings. Building of the whole series
would be a benefit to the entire Fair
mont region.
The chief engineer also recon-
mends the purchase by the govern
ment of all the dams in the river.
But that may be too much to expect.
Congress will be urged, as it new
err has been urged before, to grant
the appropriation asked by the Sec
rotary. Mr.. Wilson will devote his
time and energies to the work. Del
egations of West Virginians will do
everything that can be done to in
fuenee favorable action.

TELEPHONES IN FEBRUARY.
The superintendent Writes a Letter
Telling about the Morgantown Ex-
change.

HAS the telephone exchange pro
ject here expired in incipiency?"
The question was put to the New Do
MINIoN. The questioner was a man
interested. 1t is great pleasure
now to be in a position to settle that.
When the New DOMINION first told
the people here we were soon to have
telephone exchange it spoke as a
prophet with understanding. The
exchange will, if there be no inter
posing mishap.not now anticipated,
be in operation here in February,
according to the following letter to
this paper from M. r. Wolff, of the
Wheeling office, under the jnrisdic-
tion of which the lines here will be
operated:
This company is about to establish
an exchange in your city, connect
ing with the exchange at Clarksburg
Grafton, Fairmont and intermediate
points. The material for the con.
struction of the exchange has been
ordered and we will start the work
just as soon as it arrives, which we
expect will be some time in January.
We hope to have the exchange in
operation in Morgantown the latter
part of February"
The exchange here will open with
25 subscribers, whose names were
first published in the New DOMINION.
Al L
been made, but when the phones are
in actual operation there is no
doubt that number will be increased
three times over. Most of the
phones subscribed for have the con
nection privilege with the other
towns mentioned in the letter. In
the spring line will also be run from
here to Uniontown, giving us all of
Fayette county.

ECHO ANSWERS: "wRYs"
A Republican Correspondent Asks some
Pertinent Questions.

CAssvHLR, Dec. ST. would like to
say through the columns OF the NEW Do
MINloN that we ought to raise our voices,
as that OF one man, against earpetbagger
rule. Our state is an infant, in develop
ment as in age OF charter, but we may
never be allowed to claim the equality
which our resources warrant, with the
leading progressive commonwealth and
in the commercial world if We are allow
ed TO be represented in Congress by a
party who has no claim to bona fde cit
izenship in West Virginia II we want
West Virginia's interests guarded we
must put our citizens in positions of
trust in National as we'll as in State
matters.
II is evident to all thinhihg, observant,
honest people that we have many OF our
own men who have honesty and integ-
rity coupled with superior ability, to
qualify them, without resorting to a car
petbagger with pile te represent us
Not considering party or political preju-
diees, we should labor for that which is
for the best interests OF all.
We have in West Virginia men who
did not hesitate to shut down coal mines
and lumber works amidst the best de-
mand for years that they might have
some pretense for bowling calamity,
while they flew around in private car
telling the dear people how to vote. II
the masses were as ebservant as they
ought to be they would have learned
long age that candidates in private cars
are candidates forpriyate use.
Late developments show trust in
politics. Why is il that even the New
York Republican papers are booming
Steve Elkins for the United States Sem
ate2 Why do those papers, and West
Virginia Republican papers, say there
is no other man, when we all know there

The County Commissioners Examine
Darbannah Bridge-InflHenced
for a New One.

Last Friday through some myster-
ious persuasive influence the county
court made an official visit to the
old Durbannah bridge. When the
NEW DOMINION reported last week
that the county court had got to
considering slightly the claims of
Morgantown and South Morgantown
for a new bridge it anticipated this
visit. The visit was made.
The court, without a dissenting
one of its three authoritative voices,
said that new bridge was needed !;
they would have to provide for
building one early next year. Com
missioner John c. Price was as en-
thusiastie about the matter as a
member of county court could well
be. He knew all the time, since the
NEW DOMINION has begun the fight
for a new Durbannah bridge, that
there is no place in the county where
one is so badly needed. A gentle
man familiar with the county court
pulse said Monday:
"The court has seen the present
bridge and they know the justice OF
the demand for a new one. | will
prophesy a little for you, in so fal
as to say that at the coming June
session of the court, the court will
order new bridge to be built. and
they will provide for a more elabor
ate structure than you indi.

l will venture to say that the bridge
they will order to be Quilt will be
several feet broader than the one
now; 1t will have two roadways. @

raised so as to obviate considerable
of the hill on each side of the bridge

have neglected to state Incorporated
towns pay bridge tax. They dc
not pay road tax, but year after
year Morgantown and South Nor
gantown have been putting in large
portion of the eounty's bridge fund
without any bridge outlay near then
to equalize the matter. That bridge
will be built next year, and when il
is all credit for it will be due tn,
NEW DOMINION, for 1T has presented
the matter of the two towns claims
satisfactorily, alone and unaided by
other journalistic influence. / say
that the other papers of this towr
opposed the bridge by their silence
on the question. and it is one of vita

EAsToN Dec. l0.-The series OF meet
ings that has been in progress at Wood
land for the past two weeks, conducted
by Rev. Jones, is well attended. The
interest in the work has been fairly good
with some two ort three conversions. The
prospects for a revival are good.
Rev. Jones filled his regular appoint
ment at Pierpoint's Saturday night and
Sunday.
Rev. McNemar is engaged in a meeting
Mt Fallen Timber, Pa, and could not fill
his appointment at Avery Sunday.
Mrs. Faulkner and son, of Connells-
vile, Pa, were visiting Miss Anna
Bayles and Mrs. Reppert, the last week.
The Thanksgiving services at Avery
by the G. E. Society proved 4 very en-
tertaining affair. Tho program that
had been prepared was carried out in a
manner that did credit to the society.
The audience was large and appreca-
tive A thank offering was made by
the members OF the society, male mem
bers paying twenty five cents and female
members ten cents. This and the offer
ing OF others present amounted to Sl2.00
which was donated to Mr.. Thos Blosser
whose house was burned a short time
since. His new house is now under
roof and il the weather is favorable will
soon be completed. The people of our
community have been very generous to
Mr.. Blosser in the erection Of his house.
To see his friends aiding him with will
ling hands, it was as though the good
old times of forty or fifty years ago
when the farmers used to quit their
own work and go to help their neighbor
roll logs or husk corn" had returned.
Marion Stewart, our young and enter
prising merchant, is now doing business
in his new store room.
Marion Vanderyort expects to leave
this week for Columbus, Ohio, where he
hopes to obtain a position as conduc-
tor on the street cars. We are sorry to
lose such young men from our midst.
Harvey Fisher, who has been buying
and shipping the greater part OF the
stock from this vicinity in recent years,
was through here last week buying
sheep and lambs. He bought some
good ones from Bert Smell, James Hare
and Reese Swindler. Harvey is a hus-
tier and don't stop for hard times.

Female Muscle.

They say that nearly all the
women of this town are now ''on
there muscle"-that the amount of
female muscle that bias been devel-
oped in the last six months among
our fair sex is prodigious, if not
alarming. Ifyou happen in house
at any unexpected hour you are just
as likely to find the hostess in the
attitude of a Swedish gymnast, as
in the kitchen washing dishes or ev-
en- practicing otium cum dtgnitati
in the parlor. Tramps and burglars
who have CHANGED to "catch on to
the situation have moved on to less
formidable and frightful conditions
in the domestic machinery. The
sassy tramp" has entirely vanished
and the boldest approaches the
kitchen only with his hat under his
arm. They say, too, that the club
frequenting benedict is not so num-
erous as formerly, and always re-
turns to the domestic circle in good
hours and strictly sober The ques-
ton is, where is this thing going to
end? 1t is not question of ''wo-
mans rights" but of woman's mus
Gle. Given the one and the other
is conceded as matter of course.

FOR REDUCED TAXES.
Voters will have an Opportunity to
Decide that Issue.

The voters of Morgantown must
not allow themselves to become con
fused in regard to the candidates for
municipal officers. They may vote
for whom they please. The law pre-
scribes that there shall be legal
ballot. This ballot, when given the
voter at the place of polling, will
contain but one list of candidates.
The voter may write whatever names
he desires TO in place of the printed
names and his ballot is still legal.
Don't be deceived in this matter If
there is the name of single candi-
date printed on the ballot for whom
the voter does not care to give his
support, he may scratch off that
names and write the name of the man
for whom he would prefer to vote, or
the poll clerks will do it for him, if
he so desires.
No other ticket than the one nom
mated by the very few Republicans
at the snap convention will be on
the official ballot, but great many
Republicans who are quite correct
in their denunciation of the attempt
to drag politics into our municipal
contests, have suggested the follow
ing named gentlemen as ones in
whom it would be wise to entrust
the administration of corporate af
fairs for the coming year, and have
said publicly they will vote for them,
to- wit;
For mayor, L. V. Keck; Recorder,
A. L. Nye; Councilmen, L. Picken-
paugh, |. G. White, Fred Deripg, G..
A. Hayes, F. A. Hennen.
An effort may be made to have
these men elected. By doing so the
idea of politics is completely elimin-
ated, an eminently proper thing to
do. These men all believe in the
principle which one of them puts in
these terms: prudent Progress and
Reduced Taxes" Those who believe
that taxes should be 10 cents instead
Of ST. will vote for these men. They
may do so. and do SO legally, aud
the vote will be legally counted.
