THE DAM LOCATION.
An Effort Made to Change the Location
Of No. 10.

OF NO. 1O.
Now that it is certain that Lock
and Dam No. 10 on the Monongahela
river will be built the question of its
location has come to the front again
and a strong effort will be made to
have the location changed from just
below town to a point about one
mile up the river. There is no ques-
tion but that the wharf will be ru-
ined if the dam is built below town
and the water will be backed up in
Decker's creek so that in conse.
quence of the sewers emptying into
the creek it will be a perfect pool of
filth and undoubtedly in the minds
OF many people be source of disease
that will work the ruin of the town,
the same condition will, it is claim,
ed, exist in the river along the en-
tire borough limits. The location
OF the dam is at the north end of
town and the river runs due south
forming the western boundary line
OF the town and all of the sewage
almost empties into the river within
distance Of 600 yards above the
dam as now located. 1t is also claim
ed that the suspension bridge is so
low that it will have to be condemn
ed and torn down as boats will not
be able to pass under it. Some of
the most prominent citizens in town
have taken up the dam fight and
will make every effort to have the
War Department interfere and
change the location which was made
by the Civil Engineer, Major Hoxie.

Friends in st. Augustine Give Her A
Farewell Reception.

The ST. Augustine Daily Herald
OF late date has the following in ref
erence to lady who is well known
and much loved in Morgantown.
Last week the New DOMINION an
nounced that Rev. DR.. and Mrs. Day
would soon sail for Europe to spend
several weeks, so their St. Augustine
home will be deserted during the
summer. Here is what the Herald
saws:
FAREWELL RECEPTION TO MISS DECKER
MAN.
There was a genuine surprise par.
ty at Grace parsonage last evening
of over forty young people of the
church and congregation, who came
to pay their respects to Miss Carrie
Dickerman. The loss of Miss Dick
erman is greatly felt by the young
people of the church and the party
given in her honor last evening was
well deserved tribute to one who
has shown herself so useful and help
fHl in the community.
Before the party separated Mr..
Louis Larson, president of the Ep
worth League, in felicitoos speech
expressed the deep sense of loss felt
by her many friends and then pre-
sented her some valuable gifts. One
u most unique souvenir volume of
Florida. filled with original illustra-
tions in Mr.. Iarson's own artistic
vein, each illustration having a fine
ly engrossed appropriate inscription
This volume contained the suto-
graphs of each one present who also
wrote sentiment Of personal regard.
Mr.. Larson remarked that the cloud
caused by her going away deserved
to have gold lining and on behalf
of the League be presented Miss
Dickerman a gold piece which he
said would enable her to purchase
an elegant bible, a volume which
they knew she loved.
Abundant refreshments of ice
cream ana cake were served. The al
fair certainly reflected credit upon
the good taste and executive ability
of the young people of Grace Church
who so successfully managed this
social function.
Miss Diekerman returns north to
be with her mother who is in poor

Colonies and the Apostles Will Meet
Today.

The louisville club of the National league
Familiarity dubbed the "Coionels'' along the
big league circuit. will arrive from Chicago
this morning they, like st. Paul. having an
open date today. The two clubs will play
an exhibition game at Aurora park this after
noon, and as 1t is several years since a big
league team has played in this section, a
large attendance is promised. While local
fans are not very confident Of a victory by
the locals, close contest is quite likely, as
the present ST. Paul team is composed almost
entirely Of big league players Denzer was
the only man in yesterdays game who has
not played with a National league club for
at least short time, and beside them, there
is McGill In fact. the locals have two ex-
big league pitchers, and a full team to sup
port them. Spies played with this same
Louisville team and Muilane and O'Rourke
with Baltimore; Billy George pitched for
New York; Glasscock played with Pittsburg
and st. Louis; Shugart with the same two;
Stratton with Chicago, and Pickett with the
Quakers.
While Turner did not hit safely yesterday.
and in fact was the only member of the
local club not to find the Minneapolis pitch
ers, he will find few grumblers here If he
makes catches like that of yesterday.
Pickett was fined IS. There were others
who should have been fined who escaped
the umpire's empirical rulings.
Werden and Kuehne had Mullane on their
lists. as well as Billy George had Anderson.
Schriver is keeping st. PauPs record of
stolen bases well down.
No game tomorrow. Two Saturday. Morn
ing in Minneapolis; afternoon in st. Paul.
Shugart showed a good head when he stole
across the plate during O'Day's difficulty with
the Minneapolis players.
Ball plays decidedly cratic game. It is
possible that the local field is partly to
blame for it. as it seems to be much different
with him on the Minneapolis diamond If
that is the case, Shugart's errors ought to
be treated leniently.
It is possible that McGill. Denzer and Null
lane will all be given trial against big
league batsmen this afternoon.

more satisfaction than any game yet.

HARTFORD, Conn, July 1.-At noon
today Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, the
famous authoress, passed away at her
residence in this city. At her bedside
were three members of the family: Mrs
Isabella Beecher Hooker, her husband,
DR.. Hooker. and Harriet Stowe, a
daughter Of the authoress Throughout
the forenoon the friends of Mrs. Stowe
were gathered in the room waiting for
the end. Death came without strug-
gle, and the end merely appeared to be
state into which Mrs. Stowe lapsed on
Monday. The arrangements for the
funeral have been but partially COM
pleted. The services in Hartford will
be private. and interment will take
place in Andover, Mass
Mrs. Stowe was the daughter of Rev
DR.. Lyman Beecher Her mother died
while she was a mere child, and she
was placed under the charge of her
grandmother, at Guilford, Conn. After
her fathers second marriage her edu-
cation was continued at the Litchf1eld
academy. All the influences by which
she was surrounded, both at home and
school, were stimulating to the intel
1ect. They tended to make her what
she was from early childhood In Jan
sary, 1886, she married Mr. Stowe a
clergyman. During a residence in Gin
cinnati she frequently visited the slave
states, and acquired the minute knowl-
edge of Southern life that was SO con-
spicuously displayed in her subsequent
writings.

LEY-ON-THAMES, England.
July 1.-The near approach of the
Henley regetta is increasing the al
ready very great interest manifested
in the young Americans who are going
to uphold the traditions of Yale. on
the Thames. They have steadily i'm
proved in form, and have just as sure
ly deservedly won the appreciation of
the press and public. The utmost good
feeling prevails on all sides, and when
the rival crews measure oars on Tues
day next. 1t will be in healthy, honest
rivalry, with no tinge Of bitterness on
either side.
A change for the better. in many re-
spects, was made in the Yale boat to-
day. The English oars have been
tried and found not adapted to the
Yale men. AS a result, they have been
discarded. and American oars will
carry the sons Of Eli to victory or de-

but they will row their best, are in the
pink of condition, and will at least come
very near capturing the Grand. That
IS about the situation of affairs from the
American standpoint, although Bob
Cook appears to look gloomy. shakes
his head somewhat Responsibility and
intlmates that he is not satisfied with
the work of his pupils. But Bob
Cook has been known to do the same
thing many time before. and then
have his crew walk away from their
opponents. Everybody about the Yale
headquarters hopes for the best and few
people would be astonished to see the

horseback and put the Yale men over
the second half of the course in 3.25
with a 80 stroke. q This is the best time
yet made. and it has done much to give
confidence to the; Americans and Their
supporters.
Nearly half of the seats on the grand
stand near the finish have been turned
over to the Americans for the accom-.
mediation of their friends, and it was
the desire to have as many as possible

with other reasons, prompted the re.
