here were trying to arrange deal for
their location will remain where they
are. The town of Washington appre-
ciates what good thing the plant
was and what loss its removal would
be to the town made game fight to

said they would remain for SO, 900 and
it was raised by subscription Work
has begun on the factory and it is now
certainty that neither Morgantown
nor any other place will be liable to
induce them to move. They have a
pay roll of $500 per week and would
have been a most notable addition to
the towns industries.

THE BONDS CARRY
By a Very Large Majority.
Morgantown Intends to take no Back.
ward Step.

The bond election on Monday re-
suited in an overwhelming victory for
first class schools. Morgantown al
ways has been an educational center
without peer in the state and She
intends to remain so. The opposition
to the bonds was not nearly so deter
mined as was expected. 1t is alto
gether probable that calm reflection
and investigation led many who were
opposed to extending the limits OF the
district to vote for issuing the bonds.
There was but one side to the question
and fair investigation was bound TO
bring but one result. That the ma
jority was such substantial one is
most gratifying and can lead to no
recriminatiOns. The interest in the
election was not very great as it was
a foregone conclusion yet quite a
heavy vote was polled considering the
fact that it was merely school cleo
tion. The majority required was a
three-hfths one and the one obtained
was very much larger.
The school board held two sessions
yesterday to view plans which are be-
ing submitted by several architects.
Among the architects competing are
Kramer & Warinser, of Lorain, Ohio;
Harry E. Forney, of Wheeling; n. j.
Peoples, of Pittsburg, and Elmer f.
Jacobs, Of Morgantown. The board
will make selection OF the plan some
time this week and as soon as the
specifications can be drawn up will
advertise for bids. The building will
be under roof by the time bad weather
sets in. 1t will hardly be ready for oc-
cupancy before the beginning Of the
next school year. The vote in the diff
terent precincts was as follows:
Municipal IIall-For Ratification,
1870; for Rejection 10.
Court House-For Ratification, ISL
for Rejection 10.
South Morgantown-For Ratifica
ton, IA; for Rejection !.
Grant No. 3-Fer Ratification, 23
for Rejection 3.
Total for Ratification, 1878; rejection

Meeting Of the Executive Committee,

On Monday the executive committee
of the Board Of Regents held meet
ing to consider several matters turned
over to them by the board. But little
of general interest was transacted
Regents Sturgiss and Powell were the
only members present, Regent Kunst
being unable to come back. The mat
ter of music teacher was put in the
hands Of the president. The presi-
dent of the board was authorized to
advertise for bids on the wing to be
added to the University building.
This wing is to be built on the north
side of the unfinished building. 1t is
to have three stories and a basement
of brick. The mansard roof of the
building will be torn off and a new
roof to suit the change in the style of
the building will be put on. The tow
er in front will be raised about thirty
feet higher making it a very handsome
affair. The clock will be placed in
the tower When the work will begin
is not yet known Of course, but it will
be completed about January 1st. The
total cost will be about 1000. A
partition will be placed In DR.. Harti-
gan's room on the third story of the
present building. The other business
was largely routine and of but little
interest.

KingwOOd Wins.

j. Slidell Browns aggregation of
pumpkin huskers took the Morgan
town team into camp last Saturday to
the tune of nine to seven. The cause
of this remarkable fact is to be found
in the ragged team work of the local
boys who had never played together
in game before. Kingwood on the
contrary had excellent team work
and has been in a number of games,
only losing once this season. The
attendance was very small and does
not do credit to the sporting proclivi-
ties of the town. 1t was an injus-
tice to the management too. Harry
Shanks is giving us what we have
not had this season before and some
thing which seemed to be demanded
by the public. The next game should
be witnessed by a much larger crowd
and no doubt it will be. For the To-
cal boys Blair, the pitcher, and Rog-
ers put up the best exhibition of ball
playing. Some very rank errors were
made by players who were trying for
the grand stand. This will have to
be stopped. The best playing for
Kingwood was done by Orr and Shat
fer. The locals will be strengthened
by the elimination of the weak play
crs and the substitution of better
ones. Then we shall have sweet re-
venge. The next game will occur

''There are few persons but who
have handled silver dollars, some
many hundreds or thousands of them,
but | venture to say that there are not
many who are acquainted with the
full design on the face of these coins, "
said business man yesterday.
''Let me show you. On the diverse
face of the dollar, turned upside down,
directly under the date, will be seen
the profile of George III, little to
the left the head and name of the
British lion, just to the right of the
profile of Disraeli-which makes the
fullness Of the cap of the Goddess of
Liberty; in the cap is the thistle of
Scotland, the shamrock of Ireland, and
two sprouts of the wheat of America,
and all surrounded by thirteen stars,
representing the thirteen original
states Of the union. So you will see,
the designer of dollar drew on the
several foreign nations for his designs
for coin that is largely used by the
descendants in America of all those
nations. The Goddess of Liberty, as
you have probably already read is said
to have been the likeness of young
Philadelphia lady, whom the designer
once met. -

CAUSED BY JEALOUSY.
A Preston County Man Attempts to
Commit Suicide-shOt his Wife.

At his home in Grant district, Pres
ton county, Alfred Collins last Satur-
day evening shot Albert Raymond
twice and then fired two shots at
Mrs. Collins, one of which took effect
in the arm. When the ball struck
her she fell as If killed. Collins shook
her, told the children she was dead
and then fled. Collins and Raymond
were fast friends and had been drink
ing during the day. While out, Col
Inns said he was going to kill his wife
when he got home. Raymond went
home with him to keep him from car
rying out his threats, If possible.
When he got Collins home, Collins
drew revolver on his wife and Rey-
mond interfered. Then Collins shot
Raymond in the arm and side, and he
is in critical condition. A reward is
offered for Collins arrest. Jealousy
caused the shooting.

A Charge. If True, that will Disgrace
the Administration.

The republicans of this state are
having high old time over the 500,
600 appropriation made by the last
legislature to pay certain sHome
Guards" for alleged services rendered
during the war. All the other "Home
Guards" in the state who are just as
much entitled to pay as these fellows,
and get nothing, are up in in arms.
But the trouble does not stop here.
Judge J. M. McWhorter was the at
torney for the men who got the appro-
priation. When the time came to
disburse the money to the men, Gov
crnor Atkinson appointed McWhor-
ter's son the agent of the state to dis
burse it, The first act of the agent
was to look out for number one, and
he paid one-fourth of the appropria-

The Republican papers are just now

The Republican papers are just now
engaged in figuring up imaginary
statements showing what the revenue
receipts might have been, had not the
threat of the Dingley trust tariff been
thrust upon the country. 1t is the adj
vance movement to break the force of
the assured failure OF the new law as
a revenue getter. This one fact stands
out, and cannot be controverted.
With the advent of the Dingley law
revenue receipts from customs have
been falling off, and the deficit for the
coming fiscal year will be larger than
under the Wilson tariff There is no
getting away from these facts. But
what does it matter, if the sugar
trust got all it demanded, and the
millionaires of that conspiracy have
added more millions to their illegiti-
mate gains? Mark Hannas campaign
committee appears to be handling sta
tistics from Washington for the pur-
pose of further humbugging the peo-
Pile. 1t will be difficult task Why
increase taxes for the purpose of
keeping out imports should increase
the imports and the revenues is Il
conundrum worthy of a lunatic asy-
lum.

shooting ARRAY and Attempted Suicide.

Monday evening the citizens residing
on Beechurst were treated to a genu-
inc sensation or rather series of sem
Stations. A shooting ARRAY occurred
and the shooter shortly afterwards
threw himself into the river.'presuma-
bly, with suicidal intent. The trouble
all arose over too much indulgence, in
mean liquor. George Boozeman, the
handler Of the gun has been in the
habit of drinking heavily for some
time. He was employed as a smooth
er at the glass factory although he
has not been working for some time.
The injured man who is Boozeman's
brother-in-law Charles Rosenbaugh
is also smoother. The immediate
cause of the shooting grew out of a
quarrel caused by Boozeman abusing
his wife. Rosenbaugh objected and
Boozeman shot him, using 32 caliber
revolver. Others state that there was
no quarrel but that the deed was
done in drunken fit of anger. Ros-
enbaugh gave his brother-in-law a
sound thrashing after the shooting
breaking rib for him. This was set
by DR., Fitch after he had been arrest
ed and lodged in jail.
Immediately after the shooting
Boozeman went down to the rivers
edge and got in boat which he pad
died out some distance. He finally
threw himself out in the water pre-
sumably intending to drown himself.
The water was too shallow for this
however and he attempted to reach
deeper water. Before this could be
accomplished he was rescued and Ia
ken to shore. Sheriff Garrison arrest
ed and lodged him in jail. He waived
hearing before Justice Hayes and
was bound over in the sum of $500 to
await the action of the grand jury.
DIR. Chas. Wade was telephoned for
to attend the wounded man. The
ball was found to have entered the
right arm near the shoulder ranging
up through the shoulder. One incis-
ion was made in the shoulder and the
ball removed. He is not seriously
hurt and will be all right in a short
time.

EVERY miner in Harrison county
has joined the great mining strike.
In the other parts of the state, while
a few have quit work, the majority
see chance to make good thing
out of their present opportunity and
are making every edge cut.Sympathy
for the starving miners in Ohio and
Pennsylvania is all right but their
interests are directlyopposed to those
of our miners. If they could close
up every mine in this state perma-
nently they would do so. In fact
they have made the attempt in the
past but needless to say the effort
failed. The very cause of the strike
is found in the misery entailed by
this effort. The outside miners con-
sented to cuts in the price of mining
coal so that they might force West
Virginia out of the list of producers.
The operators took advantage of
this feeling to grind them down to
the lowest possible notch. Now the
men can't live on their wages and
their self sacrifice has gone for moth
ing. So they strike and with sub
Unity of gall ask the West Virginia
miners to join with them in regain
ing the lost ground. They allege
community of interest against the
common foe capital. Their plea is
a specious one. The home miners
have no interests common with them.
They are antagonistic in every way.
They can gain nothing by striking
and jcopariizc every thing even their
occupations by striking. Although
sorcly tempted by oily tongued agi-
tators they have stood firm and from
present indications will remain so.
Their good sense in such a trying
situation Is certainly commended
and the hope of every one who is
conversant with the facts in the cas- J
is that the policy now being pur-
sued by them will still be followed.

Joined the strike. The men went to
work again on Friday at ten cents

to a buggy and was leading them to
the gate when they became unman-
