Obituary..

Mrs. Ruth Lemley Hoard, daughter of
Lewis and Pleasy Lemley, and wife OF
D. II Hoard. of Stewartstown, w. Va,
was born March 9th, 1869, and departed
this life Nov. Goth, 1894, Sister Hoard
at the time of her death was on a visit
to the home of her parents. The disease
with which she suffered was quick con-
sumption, and everything that could be
done was done to make her last hours as
comfortable as possible.
Sister Hoard was converted to God
and joined the NJ. p. Church when she
was but ten years Of age. She lived
consistent christian life, was faithful in
the discharge Of duty to God and the
church. She was kind and gentle and
her moral character was spotless. The
sweet influence of her life was so great
that those who knew her, whether re-
ligious or irreligious were compelled to
acknowledge the genuineness of her
faith and the religion she protested.
During her last hours she bore her suf-
fering with so much patience and forth
tude as to demonstrate clearly the power
OF the christian religion to sustain in the
hour of approaching death. | visited
her on the evening before she died and
in spite of intense suffering | found her
fully resigned, and when | told her to
be patient a little while longer and she
would be free from suffering and pain,
for in heaven there is no sickness, she
smiled and said, at is all right will
soon be there" A few hours afterward
her sweet spirit took its fight to the
beautiful home above.
After preaching her funeral we gently
laid her to rest in the Cedar Grove Gem
etery to await the resurrection of the
just. ]. N. HoLT,
Pastor NJ, P. Church, Mt, Morris, Pa.

Protzman's Gallery Burglarized.

Ed c. Protzman, the photograph
er, is the victim of burglary. Last
Friday night his gallery was entered
by thieves and a number of albums
and other articles of the stock and
about $12 in money were taken
The entrance was made early in the
evening, as the proprietor returned
to the place at about o'clock and
then discovered that hole had been
knocked in the glass of the upper
rear window. This done the thief
dislodged the stick which was used
In holding the lower sash in place,
when it was raised and the entrance
made. Mr.. Protzman says that they
had but a few minutes in which to
do the work they did. The matter
was reported to the authorities, but
so far there has been no clue.

BRACED THE BUILDING.
Iron Rods Draw the Lesion in the Odd
Fellows Building and it is Safe and
Strong,

The Odd Fellows building is as
strong as its architect ever specified
it should be. There was a small lie
sion in one of the inside partition
walls, which this paper told about
last week. There is no cape there
now. Iron rods 35 feet long were
attached in the iron beams of the
building and the huge nuts on one
end screwed on the rods till the le
sion closed, and the building will
have these rods in it for all time, SC
that bulge of the wall is now prac.
tically impossible. If there were
any well grounded fears that the
building would not be as strong and
safe as it should be they are dis
PEELED now.
W. F. Fields, of Uniontown, has
been employed as supervising archi
teet by the lodge, and he will have
full supervision of the construction
of the building hereafter. While
there was 10 actual necessity for it
probably, as the building would have
stood strong and durable without
them, it was at the suggestion Of
Fields that the iron rods were put in
to brace the building.
Work on the building proceed:
right along. 1t has almost reached
the stage of its construction where
the condition of the weather has nc
effect on it's progress. The frames
for the mansard are now being put
up, and the roofing and plasterine
will soon follow.

i ..HosfY FINDER
Deludes a Washington County Woman
Digging for Treasures.

Mrs. Mikes, of CHARTERS town
ship, a daughter of William Gapby,
says the Canonsburg Notes, who so
years ago owned the farm now owned
by Mr. Alexander Mcconnell, is ex-
cayating on the farm for large ket-
tie of gold and silver which she is
firmly persuaded WAS buried there
by her father a half century ago.
She has on several occasions con
suited an old money finder in Wash
ington, who claims when his palm is
well CREASED, to be able by reading
the stars, and by ways dark and pc
culiar, locate any pot of gold no mat
ter where it may have been hid.
This individual informs Mrs. NJ
that she is almost within reach of
the treasure, and to stop now would
bt to miss the grand prize. All sane
people believe that the pot of gold
is only in her mind.

Not Our Fight.
10 the Editor Of the Nnw poaN1oN

To the Editor OF the New DOMINION;
Now that the legislature OF West vir-
ginia is largely Republican on Joint bal
lot they will doubtless elect a United
States Senator of the most declared and
radical type, and we can't help it. Not
one OF the applicants for the position
named would think of taking counsel
from Democrats, high or low, touching
any Of their political exploits, schemes
or actions, if we offered it. And while
We now believe the late election would
have resulted about as it did in this
State had neither Elkins, Sturgiss nor
any other Republican opened his mouth
on the hastings or stump, yet every one
of these applicants for the position did
all they could, both foul and fair, to
bring about the results so Notifying to
all true Democrats in the State and de-
serves neither sympathy nor aid at our
hands.
1t is equally true that none Of them
have done anything for the Democratic
party. Why, then should any Demo
crat in the State either through the
press or by word of mouth NEEDLE in the
least in their contest2 1t seems TO the
| writer that the best thing Democrats in
the Legislature or out of it can do is to
keep hands off in the contest except to
nominate good Democrat for the posi-
ton and give him every Democratic vote
in theLegislature. In that way keep in
tact our own organization for the time OF
need.
No matter who the Republicans may
| elect U. S. Senator from West Virginia
he will act officially as directed by Tom
Reed, John Sherman or other Republi-
can bosses and whippers-in.
If the Republican party now on the
high tide OF its unmerited and unex-
pected victory choose to elect their worst
man instead Of their best let them do it,
and take the consequences of it. On
the one side what Democrat in the State
knowing the unsavory character of FL
kins could think of tying to him in any
of his political schemes?
On the other hand, what Democrat
familiar with the acts of Geo
{. Sturgiss for the last thirty years could
consistently open his mouth or dip his
| pen in his behalfP We say this remem-
bering the old saying, that people are
] apt to sympathize to the under dog.
| We may have our personal preferences
in this matter as between all these as
pirants for the position, but if we have
let us sleep ON them and as the Intelli.
gencer suggests "hold our mouths. -
AS Democrat l have no preference
here, but as Republican looking to the
good OF my country rather than party
should prefer Golf to any OF them.
would in that way most honor my State
As to all the others l could only shake
my head in sorrow if not in shame. But
as Democrat we are for fighting in the
Democratic ranks, and not in the Re.
publican conclaves.
Our motto is, "no more retreats, nc
more defeats; but on to Washington il

New Band TO Come Out To. day.

To days National holiday will
witness the first public appearance
of a new brass band which has been
organized here. Morgantown now
has two brass bands, the first time
in her history that more than one
organization of this kind has been
attempted at one time. The new
band is small, but composed of ex-
perienced talent, who have belonged
to and played in other hands, but it
is intended that there shall be addi-
tions to the present playing force.
Those who compose the new band,
and the parts they will play, are
Jesse Turner, cornet, leader;
Fred Hough, Cornet; Johnny
Hoffman, barstone; Charles Turner,
tuba; Harry Fleming, tenor; George
Wagner, alto; Racy Bricker, tenor
drum; Frank Lazier, bass drum. AS
was stated above, this new band
will play for the first time in public
on the streets to-day. For the most
part they have new instruments, and
the unsteady interested are anxious
ly awaiting their initial concerts.
Protzman's Military band will al
so be out this day of Thanksgiving,
and will render one of their delight
full concerts. Following is the pro
gram, which will be given on the
public square;

EAsroN, Nov. 26.-The loss of Thos.
Blosser's house which was burned a
short time since was indeed a sad affair
leaving him without so much as a
change OF clothes. We think his many
friends should be willing to lend help
ing hand toward making him start in
life for we know not how soon some OF
us may be in the same condition, and
we should do as we would be done by.
Mr.. Blosser is a very worthy gentleman
and his property which was burned was
earned by hard labor, 1t seems very
any one in his place Besides the loss
of house and property, $40 OF $50 in
cash making something near one thou-
sand dollars in all and no insurance.

Christmas
The teachers district institute at
Avery Saturday afternoon looked some
what discouraging, there being only four
teachers out Of twelve present Some
of the teachers in adjoining districts
made themselves conspicuous by their
absence. If the teachers don't take an
active part in these meetings, how do
they expect them to be carried ON sue
cessfully2 However there were some
very interesting talks by the teaehersand
patrons present.
There was vast improvement in the
night session which was held in the
Avery church, the members Of which as
sisted greatly with music led by Miss
Eva SelbY, organist, accompanied by
Messrs. Lee and Warman with the cor
net. The topics were taken up and dis
cussed in manner that was entertain
ing, and the Rotations, compositions
and select readings given by some of the
scholars Of the Avery school added
greatly TO the enjoyment of the listeners
Yet from the namber present who
seemingly came for the purpose OF being
entertained instead Of assisting in a
work which ought TO be interesting to
all patrons and citizens, who from the
lack OF experience in literary work not
being able to in,el.igsntly express them
selves remained silent and THE failing to
be interested shows greatly the need Of
improvement in our literary work In the
school room. Indeed many of our teach
ers need more literary training.

Over in the high taxed Republican
county of Preston when things dom
just go TO suit them they manage to
not let them go at all, as witness the
following; The school house at Oak
Grove, about four miles from Terra
Alta, was burned down Sunday night
about twelve o'clock by some an.
known person. Trouble has been
brewing for some time about having
teacher that some of the patrons
did not want and the only way to
prevent having school, as the teacher
was qualified to teach, was to burn
down the school house, which occur
ed as above stated.

Bat Prof. Brooke still Does Business
at the Old stand.

It has come at last--the glorious
season when everybody lives to eat,
Thanksgiving Day. How sweet il
sounds to the prep, and bow many
thoughts the higher circle-the jun
iors and seniors and the iike-have
given it. Only the law students Sigh,
because Professor Brooke would
rather miss meals than let day pass
by after the opening in September
without giving the class the usual
lecture. This body knows no holt
day, bot day after day it drinks in
the eloquence of the legal expodhd
ers as industriously as the bees sip
honey from the dewy clover Exer-
cises in all other departments will
be suspended until Monday and it is
understood that the props will be
permitted to go out after 1880 with
out the consciousness Of a guard or
detective. Therefore business at
Shines will increase, and we may ex-
pect to hear the college yell once
more from the strong lunged props.
A great many Of the boys will 60
home, especially those living near,
and they will take many Of their
friends with them. Porter will at
tend IT, P. and Harvard game at
Philadelphia; Rice will 90 home
with Kunst, and Lively, Beall, Nc
Gov, Watson and Boyd will all go
home, while many others will 90 to
the nearest foot ball game. 1t is
very much regretted that a date was
not made for our team to play some
nearby college. Enthusiasm over
the game is at such a high pitch
that most of the students look upon
this failure as a shame Mt. Pleas
ant wanted a game, but made known
her terms too late, as some members
OF the team had already made
engagements for the day. The team
would have liked to play against
Marietta at Parkersburg, but game
could not be arranged.
Lieutenant Ramsey has begun to

we're conducted on Sunday evening
under the auspices of the Epworth
League. The features of the evening
were the address by Mr.. Masao, the

very bright, pleasing talker. He is
ready, witty and humorous. The
audience was very much interested
His knowledge of the teachings of the
Buddhist priests enabled him to make

money. The audience led by Hon.

was not very ably debated. The ques-
