Wheeling Register.
The members Of the First Baptist
Church do not believe that their
pastor, Rev. j. L. McCutcheon, will
accept the call to the church at Nor
gantown- They do not want to think
of the possibility of losing tNeir pas
tor, for he has greatly endeared him
self to his congregation and the peo-
pie generally. A member stated
that if Mr.. MuCutcheon decided to
leave it would almost disrupt the
congregation and would be an inju-
ry to the extensive work which the
church is now successfully engaged
in The First Baptist Church aas
two growing missions in different
parts of the city which are steadily
prospecting despite the hard times
with which the pastor and his CO.
workers have had to contend. So
encouraging are the prospects OF
these missions, on the Island and in
South Wheeling, that the church
has been promised financial help by
the Home Mission Board and other
church boards to continue the work.
A regular pastor will be secured in
short time to take charge OF the
two missions, and this assistance
will relieve the present pastor of the
First Baptist Church of great deal
of extra responsibility and induce
him to remain.
Leading members of the Baptist
church here when asked about the
above stated that they are fully sat
isfied that Mr.. McCutcheon will ac-
cept the call which has been extend
ed to him. He has not yet made
any definite answer but it was toler-
ably well understood what his an
swer would be before the call was
made. OF course Wheeling will be
loath to lose such valuable man
but Morgantown will not be any the
less eager to welcome him on that
account. He will not only add
great strength to the church but will
prove a valuable acquision to the
| town.

Peoples Telephone Directors Meet.

The directors of the Peoples Tele.
phone line held meeting Saturday
afternoon all being present except
Capt. Garrison and Richard Price. A
great deal Of business was transacted
largely routine in nature but some
very important business engaged the
attention of the board. The affairs
of the company never were in such
an excellent shape as they are at pres
ent. The management is active and
aggressive. 1t is determined to give
a service which shall be second tC
none in this vicinity.
Among the new Improvements which
are to made is a through line to Fair,
mont. At present there is line to
that place but there are several sta.
tions on it. The new line will run
right through with but one phone at
Rivesville. This connection will give
all the subscribers around here direct
communication with FairmOnt, Man.
nington, Clarksburg and Grafton and
will add very materially to the popu'
larity and effectiveness of the service.
The line to Randall will be extend
ed to Vaudeville and Vanvoorhis at
once giving telephone connection
with places heretofore not reached by
any lines but where there was good
demand for such connection.
The line running from here to Dells
low was accepted and voted into the
company as was that portion of the

TO UNITE TaF FACTIONS.
Fairmont Republican Newspapers May
be Consolidated.

FArRMoNr, W. Va, April I0.-A
movement is on hand here to unite
both Republican papers and to end
the factions in the county. G. w.
Swlsher, John w. Mason, Harry
Shaw, E. F. Hartley and Col. A. H.
Fleming, are said to be the promot-
ers- 1t is saidsthat Editor Powell
will give them very reasonable fig
ure, providing they will unite on him
for the postoffices and have the coun-
ty chairman recommend him for
postmaster to Congressman Dayton.
The report is denied by some, who
say that G. L. Musgrave, Of the Re
publican, A, G. Lepley, of this city
intend starting Republican daily.
Lepley is a Democrat and nephew
of ex-Secretary of State W. A. Oh
lev.

IL is said that up to date the rec
ord exhibits the astounding fact
that since the change of administra-
ton, about forty days in all includ-
ing Sundays, over $4,000 applica-
tions for postoffices have been filed
at the postoffice department. The
further announcement is made that
this number is even smaller than in
the beginning of President Cleve-
lands second term, but probably
beats that record for month. All
this in the face of the frequently
published statements that, except
for cause, postmasters will be per
mitted to serve out the full term for
which they we're appointed. 1t is
possible that the rush has been
stimulated by that saving phrase
Except for cause" But even if the
whole of the 10000 postmasters were
beheaded at one fell swoop, there
are already more applicants than
places.
Owing to this great rush the say
ing phrase in the original announce
ment has been compelled to get q
further elucidation and this the de
partment is giving.
| Thus it is reported with renewed
emphasis that removals will not bt
made upon trumped up charges
and that where "pernicious partisan
ship" is alleged as cause of remov
al the partisanship must be shown
to have been detrimental to the per.
Torrance of duties. This is said to be
a serious blow to the many appli
cants for postoffices throughout the
country who have been busy since
the election in securing affidavits tc
the effect that incumbents in offices
took a vigorous part in the campaign
for Bryan last November. They had
expected that proof of political &C
tivity would be accepted as sufii
cient excuse for removal, and are
greatly Disguised to learn at the
postoffice department that their la
Dor has been thrown away.
Both the president and the post
master general are satisfied that the
work of selecting postmasters to re
place those in office will be greatly
facilitated by permitting present in
cumbents to serve out their full tern
of four years. BY this method
which was pursued by both theHarri
son and Cleveland administrations
ample time is afforded for both tn,
recommending and the appointing
powder to canvas the qualifications o
the various applicants, and apreced
ent is continued which furnishes an
incentive to officials for the faithful
performance of duty through thu
certainty that they will be undis
turbed duringa tenure of four years
in the absence of ground for com
plant warranting removal.

Ii you wake up one OF these fine
mornings with your eyelid tightly
sealed to the lower side you may know
that you have fallen victim to dis
order Of the optics that is passing
around the town. 1t does not neces.

right lid either, but it will be one OF
the other or perhaps both. The dis.
ease is our friend, the "pink-eye," a
troublesome if not serious affection.
1t manifests itself by an intolerable
itching with the eye clouding up with

A telegram from Warren county,
New jersey, says that twelve per-

their retroactive clauses apply in
such cases as these.

GOING THE WAY
EOf All the Earth is the Historic
Old
Academy-Last Act i'm the Spirited
Drama.


The old Monongalia Academy for
years a seat of usefulness and learn
ing; renowned and loved over many
states; it's sons scattered. over the
Union, many Of them filling the Hight
est positions in life, will shortly be
only a memory. Badly damaged by
fire and torn by dynamite explo-
sion it was but a danger to its
neighbors. Times ruthless fingers
had been stealthily plucking the
strength from it's sturdy timbers
and it's race was nearly run.
After the two perils had been
passed it was ready for complete de-
struction. Protests were made by
neighboring property owners on its
menacing condition and council or
dered its removal.
DIR. Fitch and l. G. Lazzelle were
named as a committee to arrange for
tearing the old building down. At
first it was intended to have the
work done by the board itself en-
ploying a superintendent and giving
him power to employ hands to do
the work, the school commissioners
paying all expenses.
Quite contest arose over the po-
sition of superintendent and so many
persons applied for the job that it
was decided to let the work of de-
struction out by contract. Accord
ingly bids were prepared and sub
mitted by a number of persons.
These were canyassed Saturday
night. AS will be seen there is a
wide range from the highest to the
lowest bid and it is evident that
some one was badly off in his calcu-
lation. Who he is time will show.
The contract was given to George
Breakiron as he was the lowest bid
der and he is to do the work. He
gave bond for the performance OF
his contract.
There was no time 3limit set on
the work and Mr.. Breakiron has
hired two hands and with them is at
work. The only stipulation is that
the work is to go on steadily and
without interruption. The material
is to be neatly piled up SO that it
will be available for use in the new
building. Other men may be put tc
work later.
