FROM NEWSBOY TO
COLLEGE PRESIDENT
Munsey's Ma gazine.

Munsey's Magazine.
From newsboy to college presi-
dent" sounds like the title of one Of
those impossible romances that pass
current as moral books for the young;
but the phrase actually describes the
evolution of Jerome II. Raymond, re-
centely appointed to the headship of
the West Virginia University. More
remarkable still, DR.. Raymond's re-
markable promotion has been achieved
within twenty years. In 1877 he was
selling papers in the streets of Chi
cago. Then he found place as office
boy with George M. Pullman, studied
private stenographer. A business ca
reer seemed to be before him, but he
preferred a college education and
worked his way through Northwestern
University. Next he travelled around
the world as secretary TO missionary
bishop, and his Unsuitable thirst for
knowledge went with him. While in
India he learned Sanskrit. On his re-
turn to America President Harper Of
fered him some Of the extension"
work of the Chicago University, and
from this he went to the University Of
Wisconsin as professor of sociology.
His recent promotion makes. him, at
twenty nine, the youngest college pres
ident in the United States.
One of the few defeats Of DR.. Ray
mond's scolaristic career was encoun-
tered in an oratorical contest at North
western, when the prize he sought was
won by another competitor, Miss Net
tie Hunt. AS Miss Hunt is now Mrs.
Raymond, DR.. Raymond's defeat may
be said to have been retrieved.

ON TRIAL FOR MURDER
Fred Steack Charged With the Killing OF
Edward Pearl.

Fred Steack Charged With the Killing of
Edward Pearl
The trial of Fred Steack, charged
with the murder of Edward Pearl, who
was killed at B0ggs' Run last Fourth
of July, was opened yesterday at
Moundsville. Some forty or fifty wit
nesses were examined and it will be a
day or two yet before the case is
ended. Steack is represented by w.
w. Arnett and Josiah Sinclair, while
the State has Dovener, Coniff and
Prosecuting Attorney Parsons.
The witnesses examined yesterday
were nearly all for the State and it can
be said that a fairly good case has
been made out against the defendant.
Pearls knife was in evidence, but so
far it has not been proven who is the
owner Of it. The blade of the same is
about four inches long and rather sharp
at the point. The handle is also large
and the weapon looks something like
dirk knife.
Steack himself has not been on the
stand as yet, but his father and mother
in-law have, but their evidence did not
amount to anything special. The
main witness examined was DR.. pipes,
who testified as to the stabs made by
the knife which caused Pearls death.
Pearls wife was present and she stated
that her husband was in good health
before ne left home the night of the
fight. On the other hand several wit
nesses testified that Steack was en-
gagged in the fight and that he hit sew
eral people while the trouble was go
ing on.
1t was also proven that he took his
wife and children to a safe distance
after the fight started and then came
back to get a hand in it. The State
succeeded in hearing nearly all of their
witnesses at about 4 p. m. and rested
it's side for the present. Up until six
o'clock abut four witnesses for the de-
Tense have been heard and nearly all
when cross-eXamined contradicted
themselves 50 often that their evidence
will amount to very little. The att0r-
neys for the State claim to have very
good case and unless new evidence is
produced the chances rather favor
conviction. A great many witnesses
will be heard to-day and it is very like
ly that the jury will not be able to rem
der a verdict before tomorrow.

THE LONG DROUTH ENDED.
Rain at Last Arrives Causing Great
Rejoicing
And the Forecast Assures Another
Day of It-A Heavy Rainfall in
Wheeling-A Damp, Disagreeable
Day-The River Already Rising.
Great Benefit Of the Rain Gener-
aly.

The long drouth has at last been broken.
The oft-predicted rain came yesterday
There was a heavy fall during the day,
and the forecast of the government Of
ficials promises another day of rain.
In the general rejoicing over the COM
ing of rain, the average citizen forgot to
express his disgust with the quality of
the weather. 1t was particularly mean,
disagreeable day. The fog was thick, the
rain was steady drizzle of the sticky,
penetrating, cold-producing kind that kept
most persons within doors during the day.
The rain began to fall before daylight, and
continued with short intermissions until
after daylight this morning, when there
was heavy shower.
Local observer Christian Schnepf found
that the precipitation during the day
amounted to 1.3 inches. More rain fell
in three hours than in all of last month,
and more fell during the day than during
the entire months of September and Octo-
Der. A large amount of the water will
be absorbed by the earth, which has been
dry and parched on account of the long
dTouth
The faces of the riven man, the oil
man and the farmer are among those
which are wreathed in smiles on account
of the rain. The river has dropped to an
unprecedentedly low stage, and there has
been no navigation worth mentioning for
many weeks. The rain covered the entire
section tributary to the Ohio river, and
was reported general along the Allegheny
and Monongahela rivers. The effect is a
report of rising river from all points
Yesterdays rain will not cause much Of
swell, but if followed by other rains
will make it possible to resume navigation
within a few days. Capt. Crockard did
not have sufficient information from
above to justify a prediction as to the To-
porter last night. There is a large amount
of coal in the pools at Pittsburg awaiting
shipment to the south, and some of the
rivermen confidently expect a barge stage
within a week or ten days.
The farmers are benefited by the rain,
as the ground has been parched, the little
streams dried up, and many of the springs
dry. Besides, it removes the danger of
forest fires, and furnishes opportunity for
securing a water supply for a thousand
and one purposes.
Oil operations in the West Virginia
fields have been very seriously retarded
by the scarcity of water, and now that
the supply has been renewed, il is ex-
pected that a greater degree of activity
in development viii be shown.

RIVER NEWS
Daily Chronicle of ths Movements OF tho
Boats and R0armen.

Daily Chronlcle of tho Movements OF tho
boats and Boatmen.
The rain of yesterday caused the
river to swell at this point to the
extent of three inches, the marks in
dicating stage of six inches and a
small fraction and still rising. Yes
terday's almost incessant downpour
was general about the headwaters, and
in consequence the riverman wore a
broad smile, as he thought of a navi-
gable stage. The rivers above were
rising last night, but no estimate as to
the result of the swell here could be
made.
1t is stated that the Bay Bros. intend
putting the new boat just completed at
Marietta in the Pittsburg and Kan-
awha river trade in connection with
the Kanawha.
There will be four boats in the Pitts
burg and Cincinnati packet line the
coming season, as follows: Queen City,
I1uQSOA anu INCs oNtttS.
They are all in elegant condition.
Commodore w. ]. Kountz is one of
the oldest steamboat commanders liv-
ing. He assumed command of the
steamboat Huntress in 1886, on the
18th day of October, sixty-one years
ago. The commodore has built and
owned more steamboats, than any
other man this side of the Allegheny
mountains.
The little steamer Fair Play, which
was chartered by the government TO
work as a special low water snagboat,
is doing magnificent work. Captain
Christian says that the Fair Play re-
moved SO snags the first day she
worked at Lawrenceburg. This is a
record the Woodruff could be proud OF.
The potteries at East Liverpool are
said to be filing in the Ohio river to
dangerous degree. Rivermen say that
if the encroachments are not stopped
it will only be a few years until the
river channel is filled in to Babb's ISL
and, which would bring the island
within the corporate limits of East
Liverpool The channel, however, has
not been changed by reason of the en-
croachments. 1t rarely happens that
the channel of the Ohio river changes
between Pittsburg and Cincinnati.
