NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. daughter of
Benjamin Williamson, of Wiley,
this county, died Friday, July 10,
of consumption, superinduced by
measles. Miss Williamson was a

| CARRAco.-Died, at his home in
South Morgantown, at s A. NJ. Sat
urday, July Is, 1896, John William
Carraco, aged 70 years. The an
nouncement of Mr. Caracas death
was great shock to his host of
friends in Morgantown as he was
seen on the streets Friday and was
apparently enjoying good health. On
Friday he was doing some work on
his farm and got up early Saturday
with the intention of continuing the
work but after breakfast complained
of not feeling well and went back to
bed. He grew worse rapidly and
Dr. James A. Cox was summoned,
but before he arrived at the house
Mr.. Carraco had breathed his last.
The cause of death was heart trouble.
Mr.. Carraco was born near Fairmont,
January 26, 1926, and when only 7
years of age was taken by DR.. Chas.
McLane, of Morgantown, with whom
he made his home until young
man. He worked seven years at the
tailoring trade and in 1857 opened a
store in this place and continued in
the mercantile business until 1894
when he sold his property to the
Odd Fellows and moved into one of
his residences in South Morgantown
where he resolved to spend the re-
mainder of his life in taking well
earned vacation. He was honest,
courteous and obliging in all his
business relations and genial COM
panion socially and his death is
deeply deplored by everybody who
knew him. He was for many years
an active member of the Methodist
Church and led consistent christian
| life. He leaves a widow, two sons,
Alfrey and Marcellus H., and two
daughters, Mrs. G. N. McFadden and
Mrs Herbert F. Gardner to mourn his
loss. All of his children were with
him at the time of his death

Business Before Council.

At the regular meeting of Council
Monday night little business of pub
lie interest was transacted, the time
being mostly taken up with discus
sion of the proposition to condemn the
Boughner property at the head Of
Main street, and extend the street to
Prices hill. Several gentlemen who
reside or own property in the rear Of
the Boughner property were present at
the meeting and gave reasons that
they considered ample to convince the
members Of Council that the town
would be the gamer in condemning, or
purchasing from the owner If she
will sell, this property and extend the
street. 1t is understood that the prop
erty owners would subscribe consid-
cradle sum Of money toward paying
for the property and making the street.

MorgantOwn That is to be.

Morgantown goes right on. Ele-
CANT residences and great business
houses spring up as if by magic.
Hard times or good times, it makes
no difference. Other places slow up
to wait for a change. But Morgan
town goes right on with steady un-
broken pace. Whether silver is 16 to
or the gold standard prevails we will
use the moneyof the people to carry
on our enterprises and develop our
town and keep our boom a booming.
If the people want silver for pay we
will pay in silver. If they want gold
they shall have gold. Anything the
people want is good enough for us.
But our boom must go on.
We have already built over the avail
able territory within the old corpora
ton. The next move must be to ex-
pand our boundaries. 1t is great
mistake for town to build all around
itself outside its boundaries, and then
have fight with the suburbs about
coming in. We ought now to take in
the adjacent territory that will soon
become populous part of what ought
to be one town.
The trend of our expansion is to-
ward the Southeast territory, Just
across Decker's Creek All that beau
tiful slope will be built over in a few
years. AS soon as it is made accessi-
bic by a bridge it will be bought up
and built upon. And bridge is a
small matter comparedwith the inter-
ests involved. Let us have the bridge
and the territory is already in the
market, and already a part of the town.
1t is the most beautiful part of the
town. Let us reach out our arms and
embrace it now in its infancy before
it becomes arrogant and self assertive.
Foresight is better than hind-sight,
and if our city authorities will put on
their long distance spectacles they will
see town-a most beautiful town
not five years distant, on the beauti-
full slope that oyerlooks Morgantown
from the East. That territory ought
now to be gently encircled with the
right arm of the old corporation.
The same suggestion is applicable
to what is now known as West Nor.
gantown. All that beautiful bench
and bottom on the West side, down
nearly to Granville ought to be EN-.
braced within the corporate limits OF
Morgantown. Peasants street should
be extended across the bridge-con
demning the bridge as and for part
of the street-to West Morgantowr
and curving to the right make it tn,
leading avenue down the West banl
to Granville.
In the course of time we will hav,
second free bridge as an extension O
Beechurst to meet Peasants on thu
West side of the river.
Now that sewer system is complet
we must have paved streets which will
embellish and finish the appearance O
the town more than the fancy can pic
ture. Paved streets are the most sub
stantial improvement that town cal
aspire to, both from an aesthetic al
well as practical standpoint. The,
pay better in the long run, for tn
money invested than any other i'm
provement.
At our present rate of growth-an;
it will go right on--Morgantown will
be town Of from five to ten thous
and inhabitants before many of on
people realize it. We have been &C
customed to look at the improvement
of one year as something phenomena
and inexplicable, and say, 'swell, thi

MANY of the usual local features of
week. 1t is always our aim to show
the advantages Of Monongalia county
and Morgantown as place to reside
and place to make profitable and
safe investments. This issue is large
ly devoted to that idea and while a
number of the business and other in
situations of Morgontown are referred
to, many attractive points are not
mentioned. II you are not familiar
with the place and copy of this is
sue of the NEW DOMINION falls into
your hands, read it carefully and Wis.,
it us on the goth and see for yourself.
No phase of the matter has been over
drawn. If any injustice has been done
it is in not giving due credit for what
we have. There are no soundero or more
conservative banks, building associa-
tions, development companies, mer-
chants, manufacturers or professional
men than we have in Morgantown.-
To the visitor who seeks to cast his
fortunes with us cordial welcome
will be extended. Morgantown is not
boom town; it is solid old town,
growing steadily, and continually in
creasing in importance. 1t has many
handsome brick and stone blocks. 1t
has scores of neat, tasty and costly
residences. Its people are generous,
cultured and hospitable. 1t is on the
eve Of a season Of unparalleled pros
perity. Within ten years past real es-
tate has doubled in value. There is
scarcely house in the town that was
valued at 1000 ten years ago, but
will sell for $40, 900 to-day. There are
no residences for rental are taken.
There is demand for all grades Of
them now. A half hundred houses
can be rented within few weeks that
will pay ten per cent. per annum on
their cost. That fact alone shows
what the town is. Every resident OF
the place believes in the town; every
one is expected to welcome the stran-
| ger on the goth and all other days -
We have plenty to show him and on
behalf Of our people he is invited to
visit US on that day.

Lieut. Robert E. Peary, q. S. n, the

His trip was very successful. as two

are not settled. It is unlikely that he
will make an arctic voyage, but ship

make collections, and may possibly do
something in the line of ~xploration.
