Late Bulletins From the Experiment
Stations.

The recent publication of the EXper-
iment station have been of more than
usual interest, and they are attracting
the notice of the practical orchardists
and farmers, not only in this State,
but also in other States having large
fruit interest. In any locality where
one countys export ofapples amount
ed to over two hundred thousand
dollars there is a keen appreciation Of
the Importance of the right way of
raising and handling the fruit.
The Bulleton on Apples, No. Al of
the W. Va. Ayr. Expt. Station, gives
a map of the Life Zone of the Uni
ted States, clearly showing how adyan-
tageously West Virginia is situated
in the fruit belt of our country.
Such vital points in apple culture
are treated as the best soil, proper
distance to plant trees, spraying,
tree pruning, and the varieties best
suited to our State. Some interest
ing figures are given as to the length
of life of fayorite varieties. Several
plates Illustrate these different topics,
DIS well DIS picture bHe COlu Storage
houses of Hancock County of this
State.
Bulleton IS on Raspberries takes
this popular fruit at the very begin
mig of its history, and shows the best
methods of preparing the ground,
propagating and harvesting this crop
that pays so well in West Virginia.
Whether the berry patch is two rows
in the family garden, or several acres,
this bulletin will be helpful. There
are plates showing the berry batter"
or picker used in New York on extern
sive places, a cheap evaporation, and
inside views of different lighthouses.
Bulleton 40 on vegetables takes up
Beans, Peas, and Tomatoes, and the
results are best given in the authors
summary which is printed on the first
page that one may easily find what
is of special interest. There are
eighteen deductions printed as the
results of the work of several years.

OUT OF HOUSE AND HOME.
Sanford Collins Family Homeless and
Permissible is i'm the Penitentiary
for COunterfeiting.

The family of Sanford Collins, of
Preston county, seem to be the vic
Tins of a malignant evil genius. A
short time agohe was arrested charged
with counterfieiting. After trial
he was sent to the penitentiary, leav-
ing wife and several small children.
Night before last the house occu-
pied by his family was found to be on
fire. When discovered the flames had
made very great Roadway and the
occupants had barely time to save
their lives. None of the furniture
was gotten out, everything in the
house being entirely consumed.
There was no insurance. The case
is truly deplorable one.

TIE LECTURE A GOOD ONE.

Mr- L. d. Lynch Delivers a Very In
structire Lecture-An! 0yster supper
FOllows-All the engineers Partici-
pated.
The engineering society had a
great blow out last night. The af-
fair was very enjoyable one and
was full of profit besides. Mr.. L.
ID. Lynch class 81 lectured last
night to the engineering classes.
The lecture was given in Prof.
Browns room at the University.
Nearly every engineering student in
school was present,and several visit
ors outside of the department were
present
The subject was ''The Manufac-
ture and Uses OF Steel Castings and
it was illustrated by stereopticon
views The views were made of tests
which had been made under the di-
rection of Mr.. Lynch who has been
in charge for the government in
spscting the castings turned out at
Thurlow. The lecture was very
greatly enjoyed.
After it was finished the crowd
adjourned to st. Clair's restaurant
where an oyster supper was served.
Every Professor present responded
with a toast. Those speaking were
Profs. Brown, Whitehill, James S.
Stewart, James H. Stewart, Emory,
Aldrich, Morris and Jones Mr..
Lynch also responded to toast.
The affair was most enjoyable one.
The engineers have derived very
great benefit from having this old
graduate back to tell of his strug-
giles and successes. 1t is full of In
spiration for the young fellows and
others who will be. obtained later to
lecture on different subjects.

The Durbannah Bridge Question Again

The Durbannah bridge question
has again been definitely settled.
Mr. r. Meredith met the county
court and the councils of the two i'm
terested corporations this afternoon
at Hon. George c. Sturgiss' office.
The county court accepted the
plans which had been made to meet
the changes in the specifications
made necessary by raising the bridge
and building it on the deck plan.
The price is the same originally
agreed upon $500
The South Morgantown council
signed the contract with the Canton
bridge company Oct. =, to build the
approach on their side of the creek
according to the specifications. They
had nothing to do to-day but were
asked to be present anyway.
The hitch in the matter has been
occasioned by Morgantown's disa
greement with the company. The
company wanted $l400 from this
town but the council thought $3.50
eaough. They offered this to Mr..
Meredith who finally agreed to ac-
cept it if the town would pay cash.
This the council refused to do offer
ing to pay it in town orders. A long
discussion was participated in. Mr..
Meridith wanted the orders put in
such shape that he could uset hem
as bank paper -.
The council then left the matter to
him. He is now trying to make ar
Engagements to deposit the orders in a
bank and get his money when the
bridge is finished The contract calls
for one third down and the balance In
one year with interest. The bridge is
to be finished by January LIST. If the
matter can be definitely settled work
will begin within few days. Up to
the time we go to press no conclusion
had been reached.

COLONEL ELECTED.
Captain Geiger. of Wheeling, Sue.
ceeds Col. s. A. POsten.

CHARLESTON, W. VA, Oct 27.-
At two o'clock yesterday the brigade
of the Uniform Rank, Knights of
PYthias, had meeting. No impor-
tant business was transacted But
after the brigade meeting the differ
ent regiments held similar meeting
The first is the only one necessary to
mention, on account of an election for
colonel, the present colonel, S. A.
Poster, of Morgantown, having served
his time of four years, for which he
was elected. He not being a eandi-
date for reelection his successor was
necessarily chosen at this meeting.
Unfortunately Wheeling had two can
didates for the office. Major MCGEE,
who was entitled to the office by right
of seniority, and Captain Geiger, com
handing a company of Wheeling,
being in the race. The fight was
both interesting and exciting and
ended in the election of Captain
Geiger. Either would have given
satisfaction to the first regiment, but
1T was a matter unfortunate to both
officers that they should have been SO
strongly urged by their own people.

CHEAT RIVER RAILROAD.
Large Corps of Engineers Per-
manently Locating 1t.

Have Reached AlbrightSville-F Fifteen
Men in the Party-R0ad viii Likely
be Built Very s0On-SOme Grading
mas Already BeenIDone The Guffeys,
of Pittsburg, Behind the scheme.
a telephone special from King
wood was received this morning in
reference to the proposed Cheat River
railroad A large corps of engineers
are now at AlbrightsYille on Cheat,
a short distance from Kingwood
There are fifteen men in the party and
they are under the direction of j. j.
Janeway, of Greensburg, Pa, The
corps began their survey at the ter
minus of the Cheat Valley railroad.
This road begins at Rowlesburg and
runs down the river for several miles,
and is now in operation, having been
constructed this summer. 1t is COM
pleted to within a mile of Trowbridge
ferry. The new road begins at the
terminus of this road and runs to
Point Marion, right down the river
Already this summer there has been
considerable grading done on the road.
Superintendent of Construction II.
f. Abvine, also of Greensburg, is
with the engineers. He has had a
force ,9f twenty-five men working on
the proposed line all summer and sew
eral places have been graded.
When seen by our representative
the engineers were very close mouthed
and would give out but little informa
ton. However, it is believed that
the Guffys, Of Pittsburg, are behind
the scheme, and that the road is being
built to open up the large coal fields
now held by them along its route.
They have large areas of coal and
timber lands which are among the
richest in the state.
Mr.. Abvine was interviewed and he
told the reporter he, of course, did
not know when the road would be be
gun in earnest, but said that as far as
indications went work would be begun
in very short time. He stated that
a great deal of money had been spent
on the road this summer and the en-
gineers were now engaged in making
permanent location of the road. He
gave it as his opinion that the road
would be built in very short time.
This is the first authentic informa-
tion that has been published concern
ing this road. 1t will tap one of the
richest sections of the state and will
develop region unsurpassed for min
eral and timber resources in the
Union. Cheat valley has a grand fu-
ture before it and it will come in a
very short time.

BACK into GREENE.
Fighting Tom Cooper Gives the
Officers the Slip.
Seen at Several Places North of Here.
Stopped at Maidsyille-NOw at Car
miehaels'-0fflcers Apparently Don't
Want Him.

Tom Cooper has eluded the officers
who went out to arrest him yesterday.
They had definite and correct infor-
nation as to his Whereabouts. He
spent day or so at Frank Robinson's
but concluded yesterday TO move and
coolly pulled out. He made no effort
to conceal his identity.
Yesterday Clark Wade met him
about four miles below here near
Vaudeville. Cooper was dressed in
corduroy with a blue sweater and was
very drunk. At Vaudeville he stopped
and bought pair of shoes. Here he
displayed large roll to Smyth Bros. !,
and told them that he was the
head of a party of hunters who
were going to the mountains for a
hunt.
Near Carmichael's, between White
ley and Muddy creek, he was seen by
d. L. Donley, of Mt. Morris. Cooper
was still going north and was appar-
emily retracing his former route.
Nothing has been heard of the off,
GERS except that they are camped in
the mountains. 1t is generally be-
lieved that they do not desire to catch
the desperate. Had reward been
offered local officers would have taken
him in bodily. The whole proceeding
looks very, very fishy. It's too much
like comic opera. Several times the
officers have been within few miles
of Tom, but have not seemingly made
the slightest effort to take him. The
community is glad to be rid OF his
presence as he is regarded as stand
ing menace to it.
