Not Many Changes In this Immediate
Vicinity.

The annual conference of the NJ.
K. church for this year closed yester-
day. The session was a busy one
and it is intimated was little bois-
ferrous sometimes. The work of the
session was closed though in rather
a satisfactory manner. The appoint
ments for this district are given be-
low:

great delight of his congregation he
was retained here. We should have
been very sorry to have lost the

him as long as possible.

thusiastic meeting at Dellslow 1t

Swisher and Campbell and after the
speaking club composed of thirty

Very Enjoyable Was the Sacred Concert

The Sacred Concert held at the
M. E. church last Sunday night was
thoroughly enjoyed by all of the
large audience present. The singing
was up to the high standard that is
to be expected Of the excellent Or
ganization which gave the concert.
Each number was well rendered and
the performers all acquitted them
selves well. To endeavor to select
the best would be to attempt diff
cult feat and only words of common

John Wallace will not return to
school this year.
The athletic faculty Of the Uniyer-
sity had meeting recently which
lasted long enough for them to issue
a dictum that the football team should
not play any games with athletic
clubs. The faculty. however, in con-
slderation OF the fact that the mana
ger of the team is paying Trenchard
81 800 to coach them, and went to a
big expense to put them in training,
generously gave the managers permits
sion to schedule games with such col
lege and normal school teams as would
not likely iDjure the moral tone of the
game. This action of the faculty dis
arranged the whole schedule of games
which have been booked, and bought
disappointment to the student body,
who expected to witness games on the
home grounds with the Pittsburg and
Greenshurg athletic elubs-the only
games which were booked for the
home grounds. The team and stud
ents are disguised. The University
has never until last year given any
encouragement to athletic sports.
Last years team made such a good
showing that fully 100 new students
were drawn here this year by It's infiu-
ence. With Trencbard TO coach and
good material for team it was hoped
that the faculty would permit a rec
ord to be made In football at the Uni
yersity.
Trenchard went East to-day to re-
arrange the games scheduled with Lee
high, Lafayette and Princeton. They
will be arranged so that the Eastern
trip will be shortened. The game
scheduled against Lehigh at Easton
will be played in Baltimore: the one
against Lafayette will be played some
where in West Virginia, and two
games will be played against Prince
ton, one OF them at Wheeling October
], on the day Bryan speaks, and the
other one at Parkersburg or Fairmont,
unless the athletic faculty interposes
some objections.
The team has been picked and the
lineup will be as follows. Center, w.
r. D. Standiford: right guard, Ellis
Yost; left guard. G. X. Krebs; left
tackle, Henry Yost; right tackle, Hen
ry White; left end, L. J. Robb; right
end, Angus Mcdonald; quarter back,
John Brailler; right half back, Walter
South; left half back, ]. r. Ely; full
back, Lewis Beager. The substitutes
are: Harry Cole, w. ]. Bruner, G..
H. A. Kunst, J. M. Orr and ]. r.
Bryne. The men are in good condi.
tion and are anxious to get in game
against somebody. The Western Uni
versity of Pennsylvania team was
scheduled to play here last Saturday,
but was unable to come because ei
lack OF both men and condition.
New students are arriving daily and
the enrolment will go nearly 450 by
Christmas.

LAUREL IRox WoRKs, Sept. 22.-Mr.
Vim. J. Donaldson died at his home in
FzirchaBce, Sept. Is, 1896. OF typhoid
fever aged IS years. Mr.. Donaldson was
the only son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar Dom
aldson, OF Laurel Iron Works. Ten years
ago he wac married to Miss Harriet Ell
len Baker, daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs.
John n. Baker, and 10 them were born
five children four OF whom are living.
The wife is at the present time living
very low with fever, also her brother
George G. Baker all at the same home.
Mr.. Donaldson's mother, Mrs. Edgar
Donaldson, of Laurel Iron Works, went
over TO Fairchance two weeks ago to
nurse her son through his sickness. She
bad been there only one week when he
died at which time she was taken with
the same disease and the very severe
shock OF her only sons death came with
such force that the mother survived the
son only four days.
Her remains were brought home to
Laurel Iron Works on Monday Sept. 2ls,
followed by large concourse of friends
and were inferred in the Donaldson
Cemetery by the side of her beloved
son, whose remains were lain to rest
only five days previous.
Funeral services of mother and son
conducted by Rev j. C. Carpenter, of
the NJ. p, Church, Fairchance, and Rev.
j. P. Warner OF the Avery circuit. Of
which church they we're both members,
the mother for the past forty years.
She leaves d husband and five daugh-
tiers, all married but one, Miss Eliza,
who is now at home with the father.
A devoted wife. loving mother, a
Kind and charitable neighbor went out
when the soul OF Mrs Charity Donald
son took its fight
She was ever ready to administer to
the sick il at the midnight hour The
very large congregation Of relatives and
friends that attended both funerals
was proof Of the high esteem in which
both mother and son were held.
These two very sudden deaths have
cast gloom over the whole community
and as many have said, truly in this
case the mother has died for her son.

The Democrats of the Second Jul
dicial District met in convention
last week at Fairmont to nominate a
candidate for judge. Charles Pow
ell, a prominent attorney of Marion
county was nominated by acclama-
ton. He is a man of unblemished
character and possessed of legal
ability of very high order. Mr..
Powell will make good race for the
Office and if the Republican disaffec-
ton continues, will be elected by a
safe majority. With both candidates
who are nominated, such able men
the Second District need have no
fear but that her chance of securing
an excellent Judge, is very good
one.

DOUsED THE aLIM.


Friday morning as the local freight
was doing some shifting an accident
occurred that subjected the com
munity to some considerable priva-
ton. The recent rains had washed
a lot of debris over the spur track
which leads to the Victor Elevator
and when an effort was made to run
car in to the elevator, the trash
threw it off the track. 1t crashed in
to the Electric Light Plant and
knocked the whole end out Of it. A
hole as big as the car was torn
through the iron and wood work and
the brick in which the engine was
set was partly demolished. There
were several thousand brick knock
ed out completely and ugly cracks
made in the parts remaining stand
ing.

BOTH GOT orr.
Judge Hoke and Neil j. Fortney Sign
an Agreement and Get of the
Ticket.

The rivalry which has existed
among the Republican brethren in
the 3rd Judicial district, and which
for time threatened to disrupt the
party organization, has been healed
by both contestants, Judge Jos. T..
Hoke and Neil J. Fortney, patriot
cally sacrificing themselves for their
party
Judge Hoke, the regular nominee,
and Mr.. Fortney, the boiling candi-
date, met in Wheeling Wednesday,
and with their friends, each
determined not to withdraw and to
shove his opponent off the ticket.
Owing, however, to the very doubt
full prospects of the party and the
positive necessity for strict party
harmony, the contestants were earn
estly importuned to submit the mat
ter to arbitration. The feeling, how
ever, between the two factions was
so intense that the breach could on
ly be healed by inducing both candi-
dates, after a strong endeavor, to
withdraw from the ticket
At the conference, were present
THE county chairmen from each coun
| y in the judicial district, as follows: :
Jas. W.Flynn, Preston; B. f. Bailey,
Taylor; John w. Conner, Barbour
S. l.. Baker, Randolph; W. G. Con-
ley, Tucker.
The Fortney men were much in the
majority, and it was owing to this
fact and their determined opposition
to Judge Hoke that compelled the
withdrawal of the regular nominee
as well as their own man from the
field Following is copy of the agree
ment signed by both candidates.:

A new nomination will be made
by the Judicial Committee, it being
the understanding that neither Of
of the above named gentlemen are to
be selected. This leaves the field
open to other aspirants. 1t is stated
that as yet no names had been men,

A RUMoR reached town Monday
that there had been big fight at
the camp meeting at Round Bottom
Sunday and man killed. Investi-
cation showed that it had only been
a gentle scrap with Jim Walton as
the most feroc;ous combatant. A
few rocks were thrown but very lit
tie blood was spilled and no particu-
lar harm done.
The first Saturday night dance
was give at the Gym last week. Mrs.

the occasion was very enjoyable

were there and of course the boys
we're highly pleased. 1t has not yet
been definitely decided whether to
have prep" dancing class or not
but it will be organized if possible.
CONSIDERABLY sport was afforded
the people who were on the streets
one afternoon last week by the antics
of an old woman evidently from the
country. She was engaged in what
the initiated call shooting snipes"
or in other words collecting cigar
stumps. She went hurriedly over the
principal streets and on seeing ci-
gar would pounce on it like hawk
on chicken. She was we'll dressed
and her mania for such a perform
ance was not very well understood.
WArrMAN BARBE, field agent for
the University spent few days in
town last week. He is very much
pleased with the outlook for the
school and with the results of his la
bors that have already shown them
selves. He thinks that it is all due
to systematic advertising and that
more students will come as they be-
gin to better understand what we
have to offer them here. Mr.. Barbe
is tireless worker for his alma ma
ter and large portion of the in
creased attendance must be credited
to his efforts. He anticipates at
least an enrolment Of 450 for this
year although the more sanguine are
predicting 500. Let them come, we
can care for them or for any larger
number.
