the Attitude OF the City Towards w.
v. U.-Praise for the Boys.
To the Editor OF the NEW DOMINION:
After weeks sojourn in the Capital
City | write YOU few items not SO
much OF news but rather my individual
observations on the character and hab-
its of this ancient city.
While it has a most beautiful location
and its limits could be almost extended
indefinitely its present boundaries are
made almost hideous by what looks to
an outsider TO be short sighted surren-
der to greed aud avafiee by the persons
holding the unoecupied real estate with
in its limits. To see lots that ought to
be the sites of beautiful homes growing
up in briars, thistles and every conceiv-
able kind OF noxious weeds in the very
heart of what would otherwise be
beautiful city, does not strike visitors
with any very favorable impressions;
and their subsequent efforts TO cultivate
a more congenial view of the case are
most likely to become miserable failures.
Perhaps If they had Pingree to con-
vert these eyesores into gardens for the
raising of potatoes, cabbages, onions
and other needful vegetables they might
not be obliged to bring these things by
the car load from other localities. Who
knows? We are. ii at all candid, COM
PEELED to condemn what seems to us an.
other practice, popularity, or whatever
it may be termed. that seems to us as
entirely at variance with what ought to
govern citizens of this state who have
scintilla OF state pride,
In the account of the foot ball game
between the w. V. q. and Washington
q Lee teams Thursday the Daily Ga
zette says that nearly half the entire
audience wore or otherwise displayed
the eolors of Billy Wilson's college.
While this was true to the letter the
saddest part Of the business is that it
was because nearly all the young men
from here are being educated outside
the state while the fathers owe their
greatness to the state they are thus try
ing, il not helping to ruin.
This is perhaps not so much the prac-
tice now as it was formerly the w. WI.
having become notwithstanding their
eeant report a power in the educational
forces OF the country. They are begin
ming TO acknowledge its merits and
send their sons there to be educated
The circuit court az we'll as the Court
of Appeals have been in session here
this week and with the foot ball game
and the Funny Boy" at the Opera
House one need not be at all lonesome.
Congratulations to the boys ofthe w.
V. o. team. They won golden opin-
ions from all sorts OF people here. Hope
they maintained their laurels at Athens
and ParlSersburg. TIM O'LEAN.

MISSION FRUITLESS.
The Heater Question still Unsettled
Expert Refuses to decide the Scrap.

The trip of |. G. Lazzelle and
the representatives OF the rival heat
er men to Boston was without re-
suits. Chief Wade of the Massa-
chusetts sanitary police refused to
decide the matter, as he could not
afford to NEEDLE in an outside scrap.
However he gave Mr. Lazzelle con
siderable information which will
prove of value in settling the fuss.
After it was found that no settle
ment could be reached it was pro-
posed to go to Ithaca, n. Y, and lay
the matter before Prof. Roland Car
penter. In New York Mr.. Peck re
fused to proceed saying that he had
information that Prof Carpenter
had been tempered with and would
give an adverse decision. Laz-
zelle then came home arriving this
morning.
A meeting of the board will be
held within few days and all infor-
nation obtained on the trip will be
laid before them and an attempt will
be made to decide what is to be done,

SHOT DOWN
Lewis W. Jones Meets Death in
Wetzel County.

Formerly Resident of Battelle District
-KilledSWhile Breaking Into a Dis
reputable -Murderess Takes
Poison Her Life is SaYed-The Vic
tim Buried Near Cross R0ads-Hith-
erto lie Bore an Excellent Reputa-
ti0n.
One night last week a murder was
committed in Wetzel county on Buff
falo Run. One Lewis w. Jones was
shot by disreputable woman and
lived but few moments. The wom-
an who did the shooting was Kitty
st. Clair or Kitty Morgan being
known by both these names Jones
was formerly a resident of this coun-
ty living in Battelle district.
An account of the affair was given
by this paper at the time but it was
not then known that Jones was
known in this county and but few
details were published.
The affair seems to have occurred
as follows: Jones and several com
panions tanked up and went to a
sporting house managed by one AL
kire. The crowd was rather bolster
Gus and became very obnoxious
Finally they were ordered out and
the house closed up. The Morgan
woman then went to her room. Jones
returned and demanded admittance.
This was refused. He began to kick
and batter the door. At this the
woman became enraged and told him
that if he persisted she would shoot
him.
The door was finally burst in and
Jones entered the room. The WON
an at once shot him with her revolv-
err the bullet taking effect in his
mouth and almost blowing his head
to pieces Jones died almost instan-
ly.
After the shooting Miss Morgan
became wild with remorse and took
poison Prompt efforts saved her
life and she has been lodged in the
Wetzel jail to await trial for muir
der.
Jones remains were brought to
Battelle district where he was laid
to rest in the Tenant graveyard
near Cross Roads. The story of his
life contains moral which it is need
less to give here. Everyone can see
it for themselves. But for this .es-
capade he would have been regarded
as young man of more than usual
integrity As far as can be learned
he has hitherto borne a splendid
reputation and was most favorably
known at his old home. He comes
of very fine family who have the
sympathy of all in the trouble which
has befallen them.

OIL FIELD TRAGEDY.
A Torpedo Man, William Conn Blown
to Atoms, Saturday.

Late Saturday afternoon there was
terrible accident with nitro-glycer-
at Pine Fork, which is in Wetzel
county and almost on the line be-
tween that and Tyler county, in
which a torpedo man, his team, wagon
and the magazine at which he was
loading the stuff were all blown to
atoms. William Conn aged about
twenty three, left Pine Fork, Satur-
day afternoon about four O'Clock to
60 to the magazine to get load of
nitro-glycerine and since that time he
has not been seen. He drove to the
place and was followed along the road
by two other men in a rig and it is
the general impression that the other
men were also blown mp, as no trace
Of them can be found.
The cause OF the accident is I'M
known and probably always will be,
but it is supposed that Conn, on ar
irving at the magazine commenced
putting the stuff in the wagon and
in some way probably slipped and fell
on the wet ground and one of the
cans let loose from the conclusion
and that put all the rest of it off.
The explosion was heard at Pine
Fork, a distance of several miles, and
some parties went out Immediately,
but all they could find was big hole
in the earth and some small pieces of
flesh, and a buckle of the harness.

IMMENSE PUMPING PLANT
KAHUKU PLANTATION TO HAVE
LARGEST ON THE ISLANDS.
A Powerful Machine Capable of Pump
ing 12,OO0,0O0 Every Twen;y-four
Hours for Irrigation Purposes.

The Kahuku plantation is about to-
install new pumping plant for irri.
cation purposes which will be the
largest of its kind in use on any If
the islands.
nished by the Henry Il. Worthington
Co., of New York, who have branch
offices in the principal cities of Europe
and the United States and are prob
ably the most extensive builders of
hydraulic machinery in the world.
The pumping engine contains the
latest improvements and is of the
triple expansion, condensing type, be
ing also equipped with an attachment
which insures the lightest economy in
the use of coal, without requiring n
fly wheel. This adds materially to the
first cost of an engine. owing to the
great amount of iron used in its con-
struction.
Owing to the peculiar service re-
quired in rrigating lands with pumps
where the water is delivered at sew
eral different levels the Worthington
Company have made a special study of
this class of work and have designed
an engine especially adapted for it.
The engine consists of two sets of
double water cylinders arranged in
70 hot hat nj 70 ha
highest level the smaller water cylind-
ers are used and the largest ones are
disconnected by an ingenious arrange
ment on the cross head between the
two water cylinders.
At the lower levels both sets of cyl
inders are used, thus giving a much
larger supply of water with the same
consumption of coal, the triple eXpan-
sion steam cylinders being so proper
toned as to give the greatest economy
in both cases.
made that while a fly wheel pumping
engine will make an excellent showing
in the consumption of fuel when work
ing at the pressure for which it was
designed, if the load on the water
main is changed the economy is great
~ reduced, whereas, on the Worthing-
ton engine the amount of steam used
can be adjusted to suit the variations
in the load when delivering water at
the different levels.
The engine for the Kahuku planta-
ton will deliver IL 100000 gallons of
water in twentyfour hours and is
guaranteed to show duty of 100000
600. which means that it will raise
11O,O0O000 pounds of water one foot
high, or do 11O,OOOOOO foot pounds of
work when supplied with 1000 pounds
of steam. The boilers are of the re-
turn tubular type, with CRATE bars for
burning coal or wood and are fur
nished by the Erie City Boiler Works,
of Erie, Pa, L. S. A., The total ship
ment, amounts to about IS tons. This
plant at the Lahaina plantation, for
the Pioneer Mill Co., which is similar
in design to the one ordered for Ka-
huku. This latter engine, with boilers,
arrived on the last trip of the Austria
liza, while the Kahuku engine is eX-
pected about April 81.
Mr.. HallowelI an expert engineer,
has been sent over from New York
to superintend the erection and test
ing of these engines, and it is expect
ed that he will remain on the islands
for about one year.
