dent of Schools, has issued the fol-
lowing proclamation
SIN conformity with custom
which has long prevailed in this and
other states, and in compliance with
public sentiment, l hereby designate
Friday, Nov. 10Th, as Arbor Day.
/ suggest that our schools, colleges,
and other educational institutions,

unite in such exercises as may be
appropriate to the occasion. / also
suggest, in addition to the regular
exercises, which are primarily in
tended for adding to the comfort
and beauty of the school grounds by
the planting of shade and crnam en-
tai trees, that a systematic attempt
be made to improve the interior APP
pearance and furnishing of our
school buildings. Let this be the
occasion for making the rooms and
grounds where our girls and boys
pass the best hours of the day and
the most impossible years of their
lives so attractive that they will
look back to them in their mature
years with pleasant memories

Alarm of Fire.

On Monday morning last, about
1890 O'clock, an alarm of fire was
turned in from the Second Ward.
1t proved to be the dwelling of Mr..
John Homrieh, on Martin street, oc-
cupied by Mre. Ardinger. The fire
started on the porch just outside of
the kitchen door. Several pieces of
burning wood had been taken from
the cook stove and placed in buck
ct alongside of the Notwithstanding.
In few minutes the wood had blaz-
ed up and the weather boarding
caught fire. This burned through
and the flames at once began to as
cend to the roof between the wealth.
er-boarding and plastering. Neigh
bors who arrived on the scene went
to the roof with buckets and grad
ually extinguished the flames. The
firemen on their arrival made a
thorough investigation and put out
all sparks that were still burning.
The damage was slight.

New Electric Light Plant.
The Daily World, Of Monday, is
authority for the following:

The Daily World, Of Monday, is
authority for the following:
"a rumor is current that a new
electric light plant will be establish
ed in this city shortly. The rumor
goes SO far as 10 assert that the plan
is about settled and that in the very
near future the plant will be estab-
lished. The parties who propose to
erect the new plant have felt the
need and indeed the necessity OF
more light and have concluded that
the only way to obtain it satisfac-
torily and at the least expense is to
erect a plant which will furnish
light at the minimum cost. The plant
will be owned and operated by a
private corporation which has suf-
ficient capital and backing to carry
the plan through successfully. The
new plant, however, will have very
little effect on the plant now beng
operated In this city except that
few lights furnished by them will in
the future be supplied by the new
plant. The plant to be erected by
the company it is understood will
not be competing one. The lights
will be principally arc and will be
owned and operated by the B. & O..
Railroad Company in the shops and
yard in this city. It is a problem
that they have been trying to solve
for some time and it is understood
on pretty good authority that the
plant will be put in operation short
~. The increased light in the yard
and at the station will be great
improvement

A Sad but Just Fate.

Last Tuesday, Irwin Brown, MUIR
derer, sentenced for life to the peni-
Tertiary, took his trip, probably the
last he will ever take from Harris
vile, this state, to the dismal build
ing at Moundsville, doomed to be
his lifelong home, where through
the long and dreary days and
nights, he may ponder over and re-
pent the awful deed, which has caus-
ed him the loss of his liberty.
While laying at Pennsboro, await
ing the accommodation, q crowd of
boys and young men gathered
around him, when Brown said: sIf
ever any of you should be tempted
to do anything bad, before doing SO,
just think of me-" This ends the life
of a young man, who was just "a
years of age on the very day he en-
tered the penitentiary, who might
have made of himself a useful mem
Der of society. Young men take
warning.
