MIRACULOUS ESCAPES.
A Boiler Explosion at fairmOnt In
which Several Persons Miss
Being Killed.

FAIRMONT, W. Va, Jan. 30-At
noon to-day people were disturbed by
the explosion Of the boiler in the
planning mill of NC Dickerson & Co..
Jackson street, which occurred about
1925.
The planning mill was badly dam
aged, the engine house being totally
destroyed and the remainder of the
building damaged. Across the street
was a house occupied by Jonas Sees
and family, who had just got up from
the table, when big piece of boiler
came through the window, completely
demolishing it and landing on the ia
BILE. All of the family but one had
gone to the back of the house. This
one was in the next room facing the
the street, and narrowly escaped beine
injured by some of the flying frag
mentS.
''The boiler went up in the air, )
said passer-by, "and turned over but
once, falling on the sidewalk on the
opposite side of street and bouncing III
against the residences of Mr.. Sees and
Mr.. Cordray."
Two or three wagons were standing
across the street waiting for repairs
They were demolished.
The street was much frequented, but
no one was injured.
The explosion was felt all over town
The mill was fully insured.

DR.. GOODNIGHT TALKS.
Outlook for a Good Appropria-
ton Splendid.
Feeling toward the University Never
Before So Favorable.

DR.. Goodnight was interviewed re-
Gently as to the success which his eff
forts for the University met at the
hands of the Legislators. I'm the first
place. he said "this legislature is
composed of men who are peculiarly
interested in education in all forms.
The majority of both houses are men
educational matters directly. Then
they are better informed on the Uni
yersity than ever before. Each men,
Der of the house and senate has been
provided with copy of the handsome
annual .Monticola," which was pub
lished last year and the finance COM
mittee rooms have been furnished
with copy for the use of each of its
members. Copies Of the catalogue
have also been literally distributed
and the University, its splendid pros
poets, sphere aud needs are undoubt-
eddy better known than ever before.
Conversation with the different mems
bers has revealed the fact that they
are inclined to go to any length 10 aid
the University in every way and in
fact a most liberal spirit has been
shown. A committee has been ap-
pointed to visit the institution and
report to the finance committee. The
attitude of the legislature is also
shown by the favorable action which
1t has taken ON the several education
al bills which have been introduced.
One of these looked toward the estab-
lishment of a high school in every
county of the state and provides for
uniform system of high schools so
that their graduates may enter the
freshmen class at the University. An
other bill provides for more uniform
system of schools leading from the
very primary grades up to and through
the University. These will pass with
out any opposition whatever. Conyer-
sation with the Speaker of the House
shows that he is very liberal on the
subject of education and says that
some sort Of compulsory educational
bill will surely pass. The objections
TO this will be met as far as possible
from the standpoint of people who are
unable to buy books, by people proyi-
ding for free text books. / am more
than satisfied with the liberal treat
ment which we will undoubtedly re-
ceive at their hands. We shall
very likely have every item asked for
granted. The only trouble is caused
by deficit in the judicial department,
This amounts to about 800, 900 but
as there is a large surplus in the
treasury this will not probably prove
drawback. On the whole the out
look is very agreeable and every friend
of the school has reason to rejoice over
the splendid aid which we-will shortly
receive" This is certainly a roseate
view of the situation and it is our
heartfelt wish that the measure of
good fortune which he anticipates may
he more than realized.

EX-SENATOR Henry G.. Davis has
withdrawn his proposition made at
the last session of the West Virginia
Legislature to give $4,000 toward a
girls industrial school, to be estab-
lished at Elkins, on condition that
the State maintain it. At that time
a committee was appointed to confer
with him, and this committee was a
few days ago notified of Mr.. Davis 8
reconsideration.
THE household effects of G. S. Rog-
ers the decamping proprietor of a
speakeasy down on the avenue was
sold on the court house square Mon
day, as the result of an attachment by
S. A. Posten. Solomon Frum was
auctioneer and his sallies of humor
kept the crowd engaged and quite
good prices were realized. Rogers has
net conducted himself exactly as a
model citizen or husband should, and
beside this trouble has been sued by
his wife for divorce. Where he is at
present is not known.
LOCAL sports are warned to be on
the lookout for slick individual
who has victimized several neighbor-
ing villages. He has a great scheme
and offers to let every one he selects
as victim in ON the ground floor.
There is to be an actual reproduc-
ton of the Seeley dinner with three
women who will appear in the cal
together" 1t will cost fifty cents to
witness this moral exhibition. Us
ually the people approached nearly
cripple themselves in their celebrity
to produce the coin. The slick in
diyidual swears them to secrecy and
after catching all the suckers avail
able leaves between two days. He
is heading this way, look out for
him.
Four months ago Mr.. James G.
Wallace the proprietor of that popu-
lar hosiery let the contract for an
annex of twelve rooms as his in
creased patronage had made this
necessary But to date not lick
has been struck on the work. The
reason for this is that there are not
any carpenters who can be gotten to
do it. All of them employed here
have been so busy on other jobs
that no time could be spared on
something not absolutely necessary.
This fact would seem to convince
the skeptical that our growth is
large, permanent and rapidly in
creasing in volume. This is the com
ing town and all others are base i'm
itations.
YESTERDAY was the day set for the
annual winter pilgrimage of Sir
Ground Hog. That cheerful rodent
did not get sight at his shadow, and
SO according to the superstition spring
should commence at once. In that
statement may be seen how complete
ly out Of its latitude the superstition
of the ground hog as spring prophet
has gone. The fact is that it is an
idea of the plantation negroes OF
about the latitude of Georgia or Ala
barna, where it is possible, though
not likely, that spring may commence
In early February. But in our north
ern ATTITUDES, whether the ground hog
secs his shadow or not, spring is GER
tain not to set in until the end Of the
six weeks which the southern fable
| fixes for It's latest inception.

The following letter received from
