EMANCIPATION DAY
Celebrated by the ColOred People in
MOrgantOWn.

The colored people of Morgantown
assisted by their friends from Fair
mont, Kingwood, Uniontown,
Brownsville and other neighboring
towns celebrated Emancipation Dav
in royal style yesterday, in fact it
was the biggest day the colored PEG
pie ever had in this place. The ex-
ercies were held in Hackney's Grove
one mile up the creek. Hon. John
r. Clifford, Of Martinsburg, arrived
on the 9:46 A. NJ. train and was es
corted to Municipal Hall by the
brass band, and members of the re
ception committee. At 11:25 the
delegation from Uniontown arrived
and the procession proper of the day
was formed at the depot, it was
headed by the Mingo Brass Band
and was made up of the Charles
Sumner Club, SO mem bers, of Fair
mont, the Afro American Compat
Club, of Uniontown, leading colored
people in carriages, the Mcclure
Drum Corps, of Uniontown a gaily
decorated wagon in which was seated
several little girls, visitors and resi-
dent colored people. They marched
through the principal streets and
then everybody began to look for
dinner. In the afternoon large
crowd gathered at the grove TO hear
the speaking. A handsome deco.
rated platform had been erected and
benches provided for the people. The
address of welcome was made by
Mayor Posten after which Hon. Jno.
r. Clifford was introduced by the
Rev. Eli Mcknight. Mr.. Clifford
held the closest attention of his
hearers for almost two hours in an
address. He was followed by Hon.
Geo. c. Sturgiss whose ability is too
well known to call for comment.
Hon, Jno. M. Langston, of Virginia,
who was expected to make the open
ing address missed his train at Fair
mont and did not arrive on the
grounds until 5P. NJ. He was intro
dnced by Charles Biggs and for an
hour the people who had sat there
the entire afternoon forgot that they
were tired and listened to his bril-
liant address with rapt attention.
The day closed with a grand ball
at Municipal Hall which was crowd
ed with gay dances until a. m.
The colored people did themselves
proud yesterday and for the day the
town was theirs. The very best of
order prevailed both in town and on
the grounds. Not a drunken man
was seen and there was nothing APP
preaching quarrel. They were
here to celebrate and they did it to
the Queens taste

ercises for the McKeesport Daily

SAD SUDDEN DEATH.
A Former Popular Student Dies from
Recent Injuries.

A late issue of the Wheeling In
telligencer gives the following partic-
ulars of the death of an excellent
young man who is well known here,
at his home in Moundsyille on the
10th:
THE saddest and most unexpected
death that has occurred in Mounds
vile for long time was that of
Harry W. Patton, very promising
young man, twenty years of age, who
died at about 5 o'clock yesterday
morning after only few days Ill
ness.
The cause of his death is not fully
known, but it is supposed it was the
result of an injury received by being
thrown from bicycle some days
ago. Nothing developed in his case
until Friday evening last, when he
became sick enough to take to his
bed, and from that time he was weak
ened by the loss of a great quantity
of blood. He had chosen the profes-
sion of doctor and had just compile
ted a course of study at Morgantown,
and would have left on Friday to en-
ter medical school in Baltimore
with young friend. He was con
scious almost till the last.
He had many friends in Wheeling,
Morgantown, Moundsyille and other
places, whose deepest sympathy is
with his heart broken parents, to
whom he was so devoted The fun
eral will take place today from his
late home in Moundsville at 2 0 clock.
The services will be conducted by
Rev. G. W. Grimes, under whose
ministry he was cor erted and be-
came christian. The young men
of the city will attend the funeral in
body, as far as is possible.

AN UNPLEASANT MISTAKE,
Inspector HOrna Arrested ON Suspicion
at MOrgantOwn.

Immigrant Inspector Richard G
Koran, accompanied by his wife.
went to Morgantown on Monday.
They went up to spend the day with
I. P. Reay, the former deputy reye-
nue. collector of this district. While
there Mr.. Koran was subjected to a
decidedly unpleasant experience.
Just as he and his wife were leav-
ing the boat he was grabbed by two
of the town constables. Thinking
it was reception committee of two
appointed by Mr.. Reay, Mr.. Koran
made no protest until they hustled
him into building, searched him,
took all his money from him, went
through his satchel and tried to
force him to confess.
When Mr.. Koran demanded an ex-
PLANTATION they laughed at him.
When he inquired for his wife they
concluded she was his confederate,
and were about to start out to ar
rest her when Mr.. Reay appeared on
the scene and identified Mr.. Koran
and had him released. They were
looking for a swindler whom they
were expecting ON the boat, and they
had taken Mr.. Koran as the man.
He is not certain as to whether he
will let it go with an apology Or sue
for damages. -Pittsburq Press.
As Sergeant Breakiron knows
nothing about the above arrest, it is
highly probable that some one has
lied to the Press reporter or that the
reporter is twin brother of Anan-

VIEWS
Given BY Prominent Persons on
the Atlanta Exposition.
II viii Bring About Better Aeqaint-
aneeship Between all SECTIONS.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 23.--Members OF
President Cleveland's Cabinet and
Governors of several States have
given their views to the Manufac-
turers' Record upon the value of the
Atlanta Exposition to the South and
to the country at large in bringing
about a better acquaitanceship be
tween all sections.
Secretary Herbert, of the Navy,
says: ATLANTA deserves great credit
for the zeal, energy and perseverance
she has put into this enterprise,
which must prove of great benefit,
not only to Georgia, but to the whole
of the South. The entire South has
entered into this exposition in a
spirit which insures the setting
forth, in most advantageous and
attractive way, the wonderful re-
sources of this section of our coun-
try"
Elk Senator Walsh says: Il need
not begin to estimate the advantages
that will be conferred upon the
South as the result of the Atlanta
Exposition, which is to portray in
the most extensive and potent man
ner the varied bounties in the way
of natural products with which the
South is blessed"
Governor Greenhalge, of Massa-
chusetts, saws: "The Exposition
will prove greatly beneficial not only
to the Southern States but to all
parts of the country, increasing a
more friendly feeling between the
business men of all sections, and
bringing to their attention more
prominently than ever before the
vast resources of the South"
Governor Stone, of Missouri: cal
though vast deal has been said
and written about the wonderful re
sources of the Southern States, the
people of the Northern and Eastern
States and Europe have only faint
conception of the truth. The ex-
position will do much to impress up
on visitors the fact that the South is
the field for future enterprise"
Governor Woodbury., of Vermont:
"The aggregation of samples of the
products of the soil and of the man
ufaetories of the South can not fail
in eentering the thought and inter
est of the people of the whole United
States upon the possibilities of the
future of that section. There is
probably no section of our country
which presents a more inviting field
for capital and labor when judi
ciously invested, than the cotton
States"

A DANGEROUS PLAYMATE.
Bnt His Snakeship Refused to Harm the
Baby-A Two Year Old Tots AdYen.
tnre with a Black Snake,
Stenbenvilla So

Steubenville Star.
Snake eharmers are usually seen
in museums and side shows where
they go through their dangerous per
formances after many years Of exper
fence with the dangerous reptiles
But Steubenville can boast of a two
year old tot who, all unconscious of
his danger, had thrilling exper
fence with black snake few days
since equal to that of a professional,
and came through it unalarmed and
unframed
Wednesday morning last Ernest,
the bright little two-year. old son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Vandine, who
live on Fourth street extension, was
left sitting on a porch amusing him
self with lot of playthings while
his mother was engaged in attending
to her household duties. The young
ster crowed and played as children
of his age will, but after awhile Mrs.
Vandine suddenly realizing that
Baby Ernest was for longer period
more quiet than usual, sent an elder
daughter to look after the little fel
low. Imagine the horror that over
came the girl who, as she stepped on
the porch, saw her baby brother
playing with 4 black snake that had
crawled from the hillside near by
and made friends with the baby.
The snake had portion of it's body
coiled loosely about the child's neck
while the little fellow was playfully
smoothing its head as if it was the
house eat and so frightened was the
girl that she was unable to make a
cry fearing the ugly but passive rep
tile might sink its poisonous fangs
into her brothers tender flesh. Miss
Vandine stood for minute paralyz-
ed at the sight before her and then
her presence of mind returned. Back
ing off the porch on tiptoe she ran
to her mother and related what she
had seen, and the mother, almost
frantic with fear, made haste to her
darling's rescue. BY this time his
snakeship had unwound himself from
Ernest's neck and had climbed down
on the floor of the porch, but the
child was still reaching for it aud
was evidently sorry at losing the
companionship of his strange friend.
Running onto the porch she picked
the baby up in her arms, expecting
to see wound on some portion of
his head or neck, but nary scratch
could be found, and Ernest, pointing
to the snake which by this time had
become frightened and started for
the steps, cried for it to return.
The reptile was about four feet in
length and was a genuine black
snake. 1t crawed back to its hid
ing place and has not been seen
since.
1t was several hours before Mrs
Vandine and her daughter recovered
from their fright, but the only regret
Ernest seemed to have was in losing
his playmate.
