A Strong Play.

1.-THE Girl / Left Behind Me-
which can be seen at the Music Hall
Tuesday Dec. IA, seems to have the
power Of delighting all classes of So
ciety. 1t ran for months at the
fashionable Empire Theatre after its
initial production, and then during
the winter was revived at the Acad-
envy of Music, the largest theatre
in New York, where thousands of
people were thrilled with the great
stockade scene in the third act. Per-
haps the judicious mingling of So
cial incident, the flirting and fun
that are sure to happen when sol
diers and pretty girls are thrown
together, and the exciting scenes ex-
plain this success with the
different classes. But even without
its pretty girls and the brilliant ball
at Camp Kennion, there is enough
fire and stir in the tremendous stock
ade scene to FIJI any audience with
enthusiasm, no matter whether it is
purely fashionable one or not.

For a New Trial.

The attorneys for Frank Waleot who
was convicted OF Murder in the first
degree, have asked for a new trial on
the ground that no term of imprison-
ment was specified in the verdict AS
given by the jury They simply
found him guilty OF murder in the
first degree and recommended him To
the mercy of the court. This of
course was equivalent to sentencing
him to a life term but there may be
sufficient grounds to give him a new
trial. The court meets to-day and
will meet again on Monday to hear
the argument on the motion.

FOR FORTY-FIgE YEARS
This Case Has Been Before The Courts
The Controversy Arose Over the
Construction of the Baltimore and
ohio Railroad and Has Not Been
Ended Yet,-Sunreme Cnnrt Orders.

Ended Yet.-Supreme Court Orders.
When the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad was built through West
Virginia nearly half century ago, a
man by the name of VanderwerkeI
did some grading for the road in
Marion county, over the payment
for which a dispute arose. He sued
the company for the amount in con-
troversy, which was about $4,000.
The suit was brought in the courts
Of Virginia, before the State of West
Virginia was organized, about forty
five years ago, and is still pending in
the courts OF this State. The accum-
ulated interest has brought the
amount in controversy up to about
100000
Vanderwerker, the man who
brought the suit, originally, is now
an old man, and has assigned his
claim to a man by the name of Nye,
so the style of the suit is now Nye,
assignee of Vanderwerker, against
the B. & o. r. r. The case has
been four times in the supreme court
and there is possibility that it may
be there again, for decision was
given in that court reversing the de-
cree of the circuit court of Taylor
county, where the suit was last
heard, and remanding the case Tor
another trial. Upon the next trial
there may be some reason why the
case should go again to the supreme
court, and it be again called on to
pass upon it.

A Successful PLAY.

THE Girl | Left Behind Me, .
which is to be produced at the Music
Hall December IA, was produced orig
inally at the Empire theater, New
York, January %, 1893. 1t was the
first play every produced in that thea
tire, and was possibly the most sue
cessful play ever seen there. 1t may
be described as an American drama
in four acts, written around Indiana,
and white men men with a stockade
for the most startling scene, and In
dian warhoops for the incidental mu-
sic. It has cast of seventeen char
acters, and every human emotion is
brought into play during the action
of the piece. There is strong love ele-
ment intimately connected with the
garrison life, and there are vivid con-
tracts. 1.-THE Girl / Left Behind Me-
is considered the best combined work
of its authors, David Blasco and
Franklin Fyles.

NEW COMPLICATIONS.
Columbian Row takes on New Phase.
How an Election was OYerruled.

When the election was held last
Wednesday night and the rest of the
contestants were elected it was
thought that the trouble was all over
The defeated side said that they
were fairly beaten and that there was
no use in keeping up the fight. But
| another phase was put on the matter
last night by the action that was
taken. Conflicting stories are told OF
| the affair but the one which is gener-
ally considered as correct is as follows.
A special meeting OF the society was
held before the public performance
came off. But few of the members
were present as there was not thought
to be anything of Importance to be
transacted. One of the factions was
there in full force however and they
proposed TO reconsider the election.
The election was held behind closed
doors and admission was refused to
those who wanted in. A motion was
at once made to reconsider the cleo
ton OF the contestants and the mo-
tion was carried.
But three OF the contestants which
were already elected were thrown out,
the rest were retained. j. Nj. G..
Brown was substituted for b. III.
Trussell, and Elder was put in the
place of l.. G. Grille as debator instead
OF Holly Thompson. A motion was
then made to reconsider the election
which had just been held and the mo-
tion was rejected. This makes Ii i'm
possible to put another motion to the
same effect as the constitution pro-
hiblts more than one consideration of
an election.
What will be done is not yet known
but very warm time may be looked
for at the next session OF the society.
The faculty will probably have to be
called in to settle the row which will
ensue.

The County Court.

The attention of the court has been
taken up to-day with the appoint
ment of oyerseers of the roads. There
are seven districts to look after and
there are from seven to Il to appoint
in each district. No other business
was transacted.
The report that they had put an
estimate on the cost of the new piers
of the Durbannah bridge is without
any foundation whatever. They have
not done SO because it is impossible
to do so and it will continue to be i'm
possible. What they did do was told
in few lines in this paper on We'd
nesday. No action whatever has
been taken since then.

A WORD TO DAYTON.
Lamar C. Powell, of the Fairmont
West firginian Rep, Speaks Out to
the Congressman.
Fairmont West Virginia.

Our Mr.. Dayton has a pet meas
ure duly prepared which he hopes tC
get through Congress at the approach
ing session. 1t provides for two Fed
eral districts in this State, which
will, of course, necessitate the APP
pointment of another set of Federal
officers Judge, Clerk, District, At
torney, Marshall, etc. This to the
ordinary citizen will seem wholly I'M
necessary. Judge Jackson has al
Ways done the business of the State
uncomplainingly. and we understand
that he thinks now at his advanced
age that the duties are not too ardu-
Gus for one man. He has never been
behind with his work, and yet has
always had time for pleasure and rec
reation. We have frequently heard
of him going to the mountains to
fish and hunt, and we have also
known him TIC visit the seashore.
We will venture to say that through
out his judicial career his duties have
not required his attention half the
time.
Mr.. Dayton explained the work
ings of his bill to the State Bar As
ISOLATION at its recent meeting in
Morgantown, and it was approved by
the members generally. Several of
them, no doubt, felt that they were
eligible to Judgeship, and that two
chances for such position were bet
ter than one.
1t is known that Mr. Dayton hopes
to be one Of the Judges. 1t is life
position--a soft snap. He thinks
he is entitled to such a distinction
because he beat Billy Wilson. For
that little feat, which prominent
Democrats said in advance George
Andy's dog could easily perform, our
Congressman thinks he can never be
repaid. We think that we have
shown, that his bill is unnecessary
that it would be simply piece of
eXtrayagance-and we hope our ma
tional law makers will so regard
! it.
Mr. Dayton should be wholly salts
fed with the $40, 1000 he will have
received at the end of his present term
| in Congress.
We are not unmindful of the facx,
however, that there are good many
people in Marion county who would
like for him to ask for another term

fort Unsuccessful.
On Friday the attention of the
board of education of Morgan dis
trict was taken up with case of
great interest to the patrons of
Plainview school. The teacher.
Charles Pool, had some trouble with
a twelve year old son of Eugene
Clark and had threshed the young
ster.
The boy had been swapping a
pocket book in school and when told
to desist had not needed the warning.
The result was that he got a licking.
Mr.. Clark at once preferred charges
against the teacher !,efore the board
and the hearing was set for Friday.
The attendance was very large our
informant putting it at fully one
hundred The trial was a spirited
one and resulted in the complete ex-
oneration of Mr.. Pool.
The charges were for cruelty and
inhumanly beating pupil. 1t was
proven that but two ticks were
struck and that they were not at all
severe. On the other hand it was
shown that the boy had been melted
to rebellion by his father and that
there had been an old trouble be-
tween the men which led to the
present difficulty. The county su-
pertinent testified that Mr.. Pool was
one of the first teachers in the coun-
ty. These facts being proven the
board dismissed the case

During his stay in Washington Mgr.
Martiueli has received many complaints
from all parts Of the country, sent 10 him
by priests Of German and FreHch-CanaCian
parishes These had become so numerous
thar he thought it wise 10 seek the advice

accordingly submitted the complaints TO

During the latter part Of May NJ received
the ruling Of Rome, which is literally as
follows:
