Go to West Virginia, Young Man.

The other day we saw stranger
on our street, and the thought was
impressed on our mind that he con-
tanned an item for us, so we applied
reporters pump. He said his name
was Justice Shriver, of Monongalia
county, w. Va, and was on his way
home from the North West where he
had been ON prospecting tour. We
asked him if he found anything. He
said he did not, and was returning
home. We ventured the statement
that we know of no state in the I'm
ion that held out so many induce
ments to the industrius young man
and those seeking to invest money,
as his own state of w. Va. It's min
eral and timber wealth is beyond
computation, and hold out tempting
inducements to the home seeker as
well as the money investor. There
are a number of railroads projected
and will likely be built within the
next year, These roads pass through
rich coal fields and timber land.
One road is from New Martinsville
to Clarksburg, another is from Par
kersburg up the Little Kanawha; a
third is through Virginia from Hunt
inton to the sea coast, being a
through line from Chicago, to the
sea coast, and fourth is an extern
sion of the Nav. from Kanawha to
Huntington. Were we in the line of
giving advice we would say ''don't

The Preacher Convicted.

Some time ago mention was made
in these columns of the sensational
arrest of Rev. J. w. Fitzgerald, OF
Masontown, Pa, and Miss Emma
Freeman, German township, who were
charged with infanticide. The father
and brother of the girl, William and
Dawson Freeman were also arrested
and charged with completely. AS the
parties are very prominent people a
great deal of excitement has been
caused by the progress of events. The
trial came off last Saturday and re-
suited In the conviction Of the preach
er and the girl and the acqulttal OF
the other prisoners. The minister's
wife remained true to her erring hus.
band and was at his side during the
whole trial. Sentence has not yet
been passed on the guilty pair but as
the law is severe on this point very
salty dose is expected to be doled out
to them.

Pnblic Meeting to Discuss III, ssDam
Sifes

A controversy has arisen over the
location of Lock and Dam No. 10 Of
the proposed extension of slackwater
to F'airmont. Objections have been
filed with the Secretary OF War who
has the authority tosaward contracts
for building the six locks and dams
whenever the legal titles TO the lands
necessary for the purpose have been
acquired. This cannot I've done till
sites are settled. Major K. s. Hoxie,
q. S. Engineer in charge OF the work
here will hold public meeting at the
Court House on Saturday next, at
o'clock P. NJ, to hear all objections
and arguments for and against the
proposed site or any other practicable
location, and to give his views, plans
and reasons for the proposed location,
which is about 2l00 feet below the
wharf. and near the line Of the Uni
yersity property.
In our opinion it matters little to
the town whether this dam be above
or below the town. but it is highly
important to have the question settled,
and contracts let az soon as posi-
BILE. No. II will be located below the
mouth OF Booths creek, aud these

ture of about $500, 600 within sight Of
Morgantown.
Mr.. Cleveland's hostility to the
measure is shown by his veto OF the
bill authorizing the work and the OBJ
| jections filed with the Secretary of
War have furnished ample reason for
delay and until the location is settled,
no contract will be awarded. 1t Is

Have His Portrait Painted.

Postmaster General Wilson is
having his portrait painted for the
department gallery, where the coun-
terfeit presentments of all those who
have presided over the department
since its foundation may be seen,
done mostly in oil. The artist who
is placing on canvas the features of
the distinguished West Virginian is
Mr.. Whipple, who stands very high
in his profession. He has done sim
liar service for another distinguish
ed West Virginian, Senator Elkins,
whose portrait by Whipple hangs in
the War department as a souvenir
of his incumbency as Sec'y of War.
Mr.. Whipple also painted the por-
trait of Secretary of the Navy Tracy,
and recently that of Secretary of the
Navy Herbert Postmaster General
Wilson has SO far given the artist

About the only case of interest to
our readers which is being consider
ed by the Court of Appeals now in
session at Charleston is motion for
new trial for David Musgrave who
is under sentence of life imprison-
ment. The motion was argued and
submitted once before and an ad-
verse decision was rendered by the
court, affirming the ruling of Judge
Hagans. Although one of the Judges
dissented vigorously the opinion was
a very strong one. The court has
almost finished it's labors and it is
confidently expected that a decision
will have been rendered before the
next issue of this paper. The court
meets and gives out its decisions on
Wednesdays and Saturdays and it
is very probable that but one more
session will be required to finish all
the business before it for this time.

McGrew Almost Certain.

Last week we alluded to the fact
that Mr.. James III. McGrew was being
fayorably considered for State Bank
Examiner by Gov. Atkinson and sta.
ted that his chances OF appointment
were excellent. Later events have
strengthened this belief. As the ap-
pointment of Mr.. w. M. o. Dawson
as Secretary of State removes Mr..
Heermans from the race and as he was
probably Mr.. McGrew's chief opponent
this renders his chances much bright
er. Again a gentleman who was re.
Gently in Washington says that while
there he was told by persons in a po-
sition to know that McGrew would
certainly be chosen. We are delight.
ed to learn that his chances are sc
good and congratulate the young gen.
tlemen upon the favor with which
his candidacy has been received.

Exciting Runaway.

Monday Gabe Holland of the West
Side laundry was on his way to the
Peabody with some Of his finished
work to deliver. He stopped his
wagon In front of the postoffice and
went in for the mail. While In there
some small boys with fire crackers
we're improving their opportunities
and suddenly bunch Of them explod-
ing sent the horse flying up Main
street. Quite a number Of people
were on the street and through their
efforts the runaway was turned into
the Peabody alley and stopped before
any damage was done beside splitting
clean clothes all over the street. The
urchin who was the cause of the
whole affair, as soon as he saw what
he had done started at 2:40 clip for
home and has not ventured out since.
The practice of shooting fire crackers
on the streets should be stopped be-
fore something serious is caused by it.

Progress of the G. ID. & p. Phone Com.
Daul.

Among the many companies that
add to the comfort of our citizens the
G. d. & P. Telephone company is
probably the most untiring. They
have an unusually large exchange and
will have when the phones now order
ed are put in ia subscribers right in
the town. They leave no stone un-
turned that tends to make their SER
vice more satisfactory and are always
busted in advancing the interests OF
their subscribers. But visit to the
central recently revealed the fact that
the central has troubles of her own
caused by the carelessness of some of
the subscribers and she wishes that
they will remedy them. For instance
very few people when finishing a mes
sage ring off as common sense requires
and very often unnecessary delays en-
sue on this account. Messages which
would very be valuable to the offender
are delayed and sometimes wholly lost.
Central wishes they will read the rules
printed in the books issued to the
subscribers and use a trifle more en-
ergy in observing them. The girls
are now overworked even when every
thing is done right but these triflng
transgressions cause them great deal
of extra work.
