1T HAS CONE,
That Letter That Lazzelle LOnged For
arriyes-It does Not Explain Mat
ters--A Badly Mixed Middle.

Prosecuting Attorney LaZZelle, TO
whom the issue Of requisition was
refused by Governor Atkinson few
days ago, for the reason stated by the
Governor that there were no funds
available for such a process under the
late ruling of the Auditor, received
letter from the Executive depart
ment yesterday morning, stating
that the officials at Charleston had
reached an understanding and that
the requisition papers would be is
sued on payment of fee Of 81 TO the
Secretary of the State.
This so-called understanding does
not help the matter in the least, be-
cause no prosecuting attorney would
advance the free required, for the
reason that in criminal cases he re-
ceives absolutely nothing for his work
as prosecutor. Interviews with law
yers here whose careers as prosecu-
ting attorney of this county cover a
period of 16 years, reveal the fact
that in all that time there was never
one cent collected on the recovery Of
docket fee in criminal cases.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Lazzelle
to make thorough investiga ton
with the purpose in view to compel,
if possible, the issue ola requisition.
Attorney General Rucker has advised
the Auditor to make the payment of
expenses in these cases out of the
criminal costs fund, but it is said the
Auditor is insistingthat the costs be
paid ort of the Governors contingent
fund.

For "a Permanent Organization.

The local bar has determined to
form a permanent association and
petition is being circulated looking
toward that end Hon. Joseph
Moreland has the matter in charge
Nearly every lawyer here has signed
it and the rest are expected to affix
their signatures in a few days
The lawyers did form an associa-
ton previous to the meeting of the
State Bar Association and from that
grew the desire to make permanent
thing of it. Meetings have been held
and committees to draft constitu-
ton, etc, have been appointed. A
call will be issued in day or so
when the association viii! be perma-
nently organized.
1t is the intention to establish a
library and to do many other things
for the advancement of the local bar
which would be impossible without
cooperation. The petition for its
formation stated that it is the in
tention to own real estate not to ex-
coed $4,000 in value and personal
property not to go over the same
limit.

The New Pnlnit.

The pulpit for the Baptist church
is finished and will shortly be put in
place The design was submitted by
Mr.. A. L. Weaver and was selected
over a large number of competing de-
signs by the building committee.
The pulpit was made at Price
Brothers shop by Mr.. Weaver, accord
ing to his design. 1t is the finest
piece of carving ever seen in the town,
and required nearly two weeks con-
slant work. Those who have seen
the pulpit are loud in its praise, and
Rev. w. e. Powell, of Parkersburg, says
that it is decidedly the finest specimen
of its kind he ever saw. Mr.. Weaver
is certainly deserving of high credit
for his work, both in designing and
making the pulpit.

GREAT LEGAL BATTLE.
CIarksburg Witnessed Meeting of
Giants To-day.
Telegram

The extra term of the circuit
court began its proceedings last Mon
day by electing Hon. Edwin Maxwell
special Judge. AS it was generally
understood that the court was con-
yened to hear certain condemnation
proceedings, in regard to the right of
the Short Line, pretty good sized
crowd was present. However, Max
well happened to be absent and the
court took recess until evening
when it met and set the rail road
cases for Saturday of this week. The
battle promises to be conflict be-
tween legal giants, judging from the
lawyers of note who are billed to ap-
pear for one side or the other.
"There will be made a motion to
dissolve the injunction against the
town of Clarksburg. temporarily
granted by Judge Freer, in behalf of
the Short Line Railroad. Alfred
Caldwell, formerly attorney general,
of Wheeling, b. M. Amber, of
Parkersburg, and John J. Davis and
]. ?. Clifford represent the railroad,
and the town of Clarksburg will be
represented by its solicitor, NJ. M.
Thompson, Hon. John Basel, Clarks-
burg, and VIM. Archer, of Parkers-
burg"

SOME COMMENTS.
The work of the Football team Re-
yiewed-A Glorious record.

The football season of '96 locally
has been most interesting one.
Facing acknowledgements that would
have appalled, other teams the boys
got down to earnest work and made
the proudest record yet established
by university team. Without coach
they met and conquered bigger
teams who had the advantage of
coaches, They closed the season
with the balance but little way on
the wrong side of the ledger.
But few defeats were experienced.
These were without disgrace and
only make their conduct seem the
brighter Their victories were many
and some of them were brilliant in
deed. The conduct of the team has
been its most gratifying feature.
The members are students above
the average They are gentlemen
and have everywhere conducted
themselves as such. Only strict
amateurs have been played No one
has been injured during the season.
For these and many other reasons
we are proud of its record.
Next year it is expected that ev-
cry man will re-enter school. Should
this occur with the new blood which
we are bound to get still more
glorious season is assured. Perhaps,
who can tell, we may be able to get
w. d j. on neutral ground and
avenge ourselves on them for many
things done to us in the past. At
any rate the past is full of glory and
the future is full of hope.
The management this year has
been wise and conservative. We
need not blush as we have done that
part of the story. Manager Romine
deserves and is receiving a great dead
OF credit for his part in the teams
work. Captain White has proven
good leader. He has alwaye con
Quoted himself as a gentleman and
has won the plaudits OF every one
with whom he has come in contact.
To them and to the team but one
thing can be said and that is com
prised in two words, "Well done"

OLD ISSUES ONCE MORE.
Congressman Dingley's Paper Says
the Battle of 1898 Must Be on the
Silver Question.

LEWISTON, Me-, Nov. 26-The
Lewiston Evening Journal" the
organ of Congressman Nelson Dingley,
says editorially:
''Much as every true friend Of
American interests may deprecate it,
it may now be regarded as settled
that the Congressional campaign of
pext year must be fought out on the
line of 1896. When State like
Kentucky turns its back on Carlisle
to follow Bryan, aud State like Ne
braska, which sees before It's eyes in
every market the REPUTATION Of the
Bryan theory that silver and wheat
are linked together by the Almighty,
still persist in bowling down to the
silver idol, it is useless for sound
money men to lose sight of the GER
tainty that the 16 tool silver fallacy
is only scotched-not buried. BUSH
ness men may as well prepare to meet
this issue next year, when we hope
it will be settled forever"

HAS LEASED IT.
John Lantz will Control the
Wallace House after Jan. /.

Gets it for ) Years-Bnys all the Fur
nishings-Mr. Wallaee's Proud Rec.
ord-Few Changes will be NADIA
Deal which has been on for SOme-
time.
John Lantz has leased the Wallace
House from Mr.. James Wallace, the
present proprietor. The lease is for
five years, and begins on January l..
The deal was consumated last night
although it has been going on for ten
days or more. Mr. Lantz at the same
time becomes the owner of all the
furniture and everything about the
hotel, having purchased that outright.
The plans of Mr.. Wallace for the
future are not fully matured.. He
will remain here till spring, perhaps
longer. For years he has been one Of
the most popular landlords in the
state. His hotel has been famed far
and wide. for its generous hospitality
and he has grown to be one of the To-
cal landmarks. Morgantown has been
justly famous for her excellent hotels
This fame is due in great measure to
Mr.. Wallace and his conduct of the
hotel from whose active management
he now retires.
Mr.. Lantz has been connected with
the establishment for several years
and is fully conversant with every
detail of the business. 1t is safe to
say that no backward step will be
taken, but that every change which
is to be made will be for the better
ment of the establishment. Few
changes will be made in running the
house. A new clerk will be installed
and more help will be added.
The hotel itself will be remodelled
making it one of the prettiest as well
and one of the best hotels in the state.
Mine Host Lantz has host of friends
and well wishers who will be delighted
to see him meet with the success
which is bound to wait on his efforts.

LARGE coal DEAL.
Interesting Rnmors In Connection with
the Visit to two Gentlemen here.

Messrs. j. j. Neel, Of Greensburg,
and +. l.. Stoner, Of Scottdale, have
returned home after a visit here. Mr.
Neel is interested in the Anderson
tract comprising from 600 to 700
acres of land nearEaston. This tract is
under laid with excellent coal and it
was in reference to this that the trip
was made. A large number Of sam
pies Of the mineral were taken and
these will be shown to inquiring
capitalists. q large deal is sup
posed to be on the tapis.
1t is certainly to be hoped that
something will come of it as it would
be great boon to this whole sec
ton to have our coal opened up.
There is no better, or more easily
mined coal anywhere than ours and
the first development made is sure
to be followed by an enormous de
velopment of our fields. 1t is mys-
terry too deep for solution, why some
thing has not already been done
along this line.

The Little Church Around the Corner.

Written for the New DOMINION.
Among the many very beautiful
churches in New York, the church of
the TRANSPORTATION holds unique
place, and the recent death of its
rector, DR.. Houghton, has called forth
from press and people such tribute
of affection as a private citizen seldom
receives. The forty-ninth anniver-
sary of the founding of the parish was
celebrated in October, and ever since
the beginning it has been the center
of active personal service among the
weak, the unfortunate and the sinful.
The origin of the present name will
probably be recalled by many of your
readers. An actor named George
Holland died, and his personal friends,
among them Joseph Jefferson, called
upon the pastor of a fashionable
church in Madison Avenue to ask him
to conduct the burial service; they
met with a decided and not kindly
REFUSAL being told finally that per-
haps they might be accommodated at
ga little church just round the cor
ner." To this they went and were
received by the rector in the spirit of
the Master. Ever since then the
little church has been endeared to the
entire theatrical profession. From it
many celebrated actors, among them
Edwin Booth, have been buried, and
on Saturday last the players did not
forget to homo rthe old doctors men,
ory by attending his funeral As he
lay before the chancel steps in the
chapel clad in white silk vestment
and surrounded by flowers, hundreds
passed through the doors to take a
last look at his peaceful face; it was
noticed that large proportion of
these were poor working people, and
members OF the colored race, for DR..
Houghton's great heart knew no dis
tinction Of race or color in his per-
petual labor of love. Bishop Potter.
attended by very large delegation of
the distinguished clergery of New
York, offfciated at the funeral. At
one end of the coffin stood great
cross Of roses, sent by the actors
fund, and at the other similar one
from the choir boys. Delegations
from the Players Club, Sisters of Char
ity, members of the Seamen's Union,
New York bankers and brokers. old
and young, the obscure and the pow
erfgi, all crowded into the church to
pay the last honors to the'dead priest.
The Sun says in an editorial: ga
man of God was buried to-day from
the Church of TRANSPORTATION; man
made famous by brave performance of
simple duty as he saw it, but who
would have endured derision and abb
loquy instead, rather than have
swerved one inch from the obligation
he believed he owed to God and his
fellow men, NE.
