NOT UNTIL SPRING
Will the i,urbannah Bridge be Begun
The County Court Will Rot Let Its
Part of the Contract Until Then.

A great many questions are being
asked by interested parties as to when
the Dnrhannah bridge will be begun
Mr.. Price of the onnty court asks
that Il he annot!tet.ti that as far as
they are concerned chat no work will
commence until April first. This was
decided after talking the matter over
among themselves and that view was
taken from what was deemed the best
interests Of every one concerned. The
old bridge will serve very well until
sthen, and it is a dangerous thing To
destroy it when the weather at any
time may get bad and stop all COM
munication along that road. This
would prove Of very great damage to
all persons using the road, and if moth
ing happens even there is no special
rush for the bridge So it has been
decided that the contract to be given
by the court will not be let until some
time in March and the work will not
begin until April first.

\ Bad Record for pardons.

Since his induction into his office
the president has pardoned fourteen
bank wreckers in the different sec
tions OF the country. In every case
these men had been convicted after
fair trials and should have been
compelled to pay full penalty for
their misdeeds. The respectable
thief is getting off too easily from
the consequences of his crimes and
the country cannot but be outraged
at the chief magistrate standing be-
tween so many ofthem and the ven
geance Of the law. The law affords
so many loopholes which are taken
advantage of by this set of crimi-
nails that there can be little or no
justification of granting pardons to
them after they have been convict
ed by great effort and the expendi-
ture of so much money.

EXTRA SESSION PROBABLE.
Atkinson may be Forced to Is
sue the Call.

1t is Claimed that there are enough
Signers on the Petition to Compel the
Governor to Call the Session Why
1t should be Held-Some Remarks
About Vacancies.
1t is asserted by those who are in
a position to- know that call will
shortly be issued for an extra SEES
sion of the Legislature. The COVER
nor has steadily refused to issue the
call on account of petty jealousy
he entertains toward the commission
whose work has necessitated the
calling of the session.
The friends Of the movement have
been hard at work and they now
claim that they have enough to com
pei the governor to issue the call
and that they will shortly do so.
Inquiry of Col. Fast who was chair
man of the commission revealed the
fact that if such a condition existed
he was unaware of it. He says that
he does not know whether it is true
or not but that the necessary num-
Der was very nearly secured some
time ago, While the opposition to
the movement has been general over
the state it undoubtedly fact that
there are many reasons why the SEES
sion should be held. But if the
claim of the friends of the movement
are true there is no use trying to
fight it any longer as it will be sure
~ be held.
The claim has been frequently
made that the two existing vacan-
cies caused by the resignation of
Senator Reed and the death Of Sena-
tor Hyde would delay the session
until February as there would have
to be an election held to fill them be-
fore the legislature could be CON
yened and that thirty days notice
must be given before such elections
could be held. But lawyers who are
competent to pass on this phase of
the matter show that claim un-
founded. The session may be called
irrespective Of the vacancies but it
is better that they be remedied be
fore the lawmakers are called to
gether.

THE PARTHs PERFORM.
Good crowd cut in spite ofthe wretched
state of the weather-The Program
a Good One.

The public performance OF the
Parthenon society last night in
chapel hall was very well attended
considering the weather. The crowd
was as large as the one which heard
the Columbians perform just week
before. The performers were very
well prepared, much better than us
ual in fact and there was none of
the prompting which is SO trying to
the nerves of the audience. The
idea of having a debate is falling in
to disrepute but the performance
along that line last night did not
give much color to that feeling. The
boys had subject which was not
expected to be intensely interesting
yet they both held the attention of
the audience closely and their part
of the program was far above the
average.
The orators both did exceptional
ly we'll OF the two it would be hard
to decide which was deserving of
the more credit. The young ladies
did very well and were the recipients
of much well won applause. The
music was feature and enjoyed by
the audience to the highest degree.
The mandolin club was forced to re-
spond to an encore on it's first APP
pearance. Taking it altogether the
society has much to be proud of in
its first appearance before the pub
lie this year.
The program is as follows:

THE ROBBERS CAPTUREn.
Two Hob0es who Broke Into the Store
at townsville Nabbed at Grafton.
Preston County Journal.

Preston County journal.
Two hoboes were arrested at Graf
ton last week, and they are thought
to be the fellows who helped to rob j.
j. Cooke & Sons store at TOWNSVILLE
recently. The two fellows, with two
Others, had been peddling goods over
West Grafton, and had sold large
quantity Of just such goods as Cooke
had stolen from his store. One of the
two was arrested for vagrancy and the
other for breaking into box car at
Grafton. Then it developed that they
had been selling goods under suspi-
cious circumstances, and Mr.. Vincent
Cooke went up to look into the mat
ter. Two of the four have been APP
pretended. Mr. Cooke is satisfied
that the men had some of his goods,
for they tailed exactly with them, yet
he had no private mark on them
whereby they could be completely
Identified. One will be sent up for
breaking into the box car and the
other will be discharged. Mr.. Cooke
is still of the opinion that some one
near home, who was familiar with the
premises, must have had a hand in
the robbery, as at first stated.

What the Bachelor Says.

Love is the only real contradiction
In itself.
Men make more mistakes than wo-
man, but woman make the same mis-
take oftenest.
When woman goes to get a check
cashed, she always acts as if she was
buying something and wasn't sure
whether she liked it.
When woman goes to party,
when she isn't wondering whether the
men like her, she is wondering wheth-
er the women like her dress.
The pleasure the average woman
gets out OF getting Christmas presents
is generally balanced by the fear that
she,may not be able to find out just
what some of them cost.

WHAT THEY THINK
OF Rutter's Band In Uni0ntOwn-A
Crowded House.

Arrangements are being made for
the Rutter Band to give a concert
here at any early day. A short time
ago the band gave an entertainment
at home and the News Standard gives
the following account of it:
Rutter's band concert, which has
been looked forward to as the musical
event of the season, was given as
scheduled in the Grand Opera House
Tuesday night. The house was
crowded, Notwithstanding the in
clement weather, and every one
present seemed to enjoy the sweet
strains Of music immensely, judging
by their applause.
The program was we'll selected and
elegantly rendered. 1t opened with
Sousa's march, 1.-THE Stars and Stripes
Forever, land it is safe to say, had
the author been here himself and
heard it rendered by Uniontown's ele-
giant band he would have said, ssThere
is another hand besides my own who
can play my music"
The saxaphone solo entitled, "Scenes
That are Brightest. " by George E. Pill
grim, was a feature and deserves
special mention. He made the in
strument almost speak the words.
He responded TO an encore.
The program concluded with de-
scriptive selection entitled 'sLife on
the Mississippi" in which the band
initiated steamboat whistling, plan
tation bell ringing, bell ring for en-
gines to stop, boat hands singing, etc.
The audience remained long enough
in their seats to applaud the selection
before they started to leave the house,
something that had not occurred here
for several years. The sextett, COM
posed of Rutter, Lewellen, Price, Alt
man, Vincent and Heyser, rendered a
double selection, the first part enti-
tied, "Serenade, and the second part
sSleep Well Sweet Angel"
Rutter's band is known all over
Pennsylvania and West Virginia. 1t
is considered by all critics to be one Of
the best amateur bands in the coun-
try. 1t has been a great card to the
town, and the people expressed their
thanks in substantial way by their
liberal patronage of the concert on
most inclement night.

PARDON GRANTED.
BY Goyernor Atkinson TO John Jones,
Sent TO the Penitentary for
Bigamy.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, December,
16.-Governor Atkinson to-day is
sued pardon for John Jones, con-
victed at the September term, 1896,
OF the Circuit Court, Of bigamy and

the army and lost a leg at Cedar
Creek. The Grand Army post at
Moundsville passed resolutions asking

ITS SETTLED,

COLUMBIAN ROW PASSED ON BY

an Impartial Tribunal Finding was
For the Original Election Snap
Judgment Does Not Co Heironimous
Leaves School i'm Pique Over the De-
cisi0n-Lengthy Session of the Inter-
Society Committee.
The Inter-Society committee has
taken up the fuss in the Columbian
Literary Socieey which has threat
ened the very existence of the society
for some time, and has, after hearing
both sides to the controversy, decided
the matter in SO far as the right to do
so laid with them. That is they have
decided who are to be the regular con-
testants from that society in the diff
ferent contests which are to come off.
The session OF the committee lasted
all afternoon and the scrap was inves-
tigated from its inception. The whole
matter, in all its details, was laid be-
fore them. Each side was allowed to
introduce all the evidence which it
was able to do and to make any state
ment which it deemed pertinent. The
facts brought out fully substantiate
the position given as existing by this
paper. The vote showed eonelusively
that the faction known as aTam-
many" erred in taking the course fol-
lowed by them.
The motion was made by one fac
| tion to accept the list of contestants
as originally elected as the contestants
wanted by the society. A substitute
was moved. 1t was that those elected
at the meeting subsequent be taken in
the place of the three rejected by this
meeting. After the matter was gone
into for three hours vote was taken
on the substitute and it was lost by a
vote Of 6 to 2. The original motion
was then carried by vote Of I to /.
Profs. Armstrong and Whyte repre-
sented the faculty, with the president
of the University. The latter did not
vote, as it was not necessary.
The finding was very distasteful to
Mr.. Heironimous, who has been pres
ident OF his society, and one Of the
/ leaders Of the faction which has been
turned down. He resigned his posi-
tion rs member Of the society and
has left the University. Before the
trial came off he asserted that if the
! finding was against his faction that a
new society would at once be formed.
| Several members OF the faculty said
that they did not think such move
would be countenanced by the faculty,
as they have full power to prevent it,
and from the conditions existing, did
not think it should be allowed to be
done. Let US hope that the verdict
OF the committee will be accepted as
final and the matter will be dropped
by the contending factions. The re-
sultant evil to the society has been
enormous and there has been nothing
gained by it and there can be nothing
gained by continuation of the fight.

However the reason is not yet

Nearly all the Church People in

The Hopes of the Congregation will be
Realized After Years of Effort-The
Program for the Day.

Program for the Day.
The Baptists will tomorrow dedI-
cate to the service of the Lord the
splendid editice which they have reared
after such long time Of heroic effort.
When they began they were not alto
gether sure that they would ever be
able 10 finish their work, but to-day
there stands a monument to their
labor which is not only an honor to
them, but is a credit to the town.
Many prophesied their utter failure,
but the work has been done. There
is not finer little church in the state
than the one which is to be dedicated
tomorrow.
For years there has been felt the
urgent need OF a proper place for wor-
ship by the congregation, but they
felt their inability to build it. After
a long discussion Rev. Ross Ward be-
gan the work which has been taken
up and finished by Rev. McCutcheon.
The church COST as 1t stands, nearly
$40, 600 and is a very fine specimen of
modern church building. Not alone
the congregation, but the town has
reason to be proud of it.
The exercises tomorrow will be at
tended by the largest crowd ever in a
church in the history of the town. All
of the church people are interested
and will in large measure attend.
The sermon is expected to be very
fine one, as Rev. Stanton Is one OF the
very ablest divines in the country
The program of the services for the
day are as follows:
