WAR SCARE.

Rioting in Havana, the Death of mum.
Der of Americans and the Flight OF
General Lee reported ON Monday af-
ternoon.
Monday afternoon the whole town
was thrown into hutter by the re
port that the expected rioting had
begun in Havana A number Of
Americans were said to have been
killed and Consul General Lee was
reported to have sought safety in
flight. The reports greatly excited
everybody and the war feeling grew
very intense. Every one felt that If
the rumors were true that the long
expected war had at last appeared.
The story had been given out by a
Western Union telegraph operator
at Fairmont and brought here by
the passengers on the afternoon
train.
Later investigation by the opera
tor showed that he had misnnder-
stood a message going over the wire
and had given out an unfounded
story. A prompt denial of the re
port was made and correction was
started on its way but there are
many people who have heard only
the first story yet. They can now
know how mnch there was in the
story.

Exciting RUNAWAY.

Monday afternoon those who hap
pened to be on Front street just be-
fore the afternoon train came in saw
very exciting runaway. A four
horse team with a wagon load of
household furniture came galloping
up the street in full flight The
driver did all he could to stop them
but they only ran the faster. At
the junction of Front and Peasants
streets several men ran out and sue
ceeded in getting them stopped A
lot OF furniture had been thrown
out and the most of it was broken to
pieces. The team belonged to Harry
Baker of Cheat Neck. and had taken
fright at the rattle of the furniture
in the wagon. The goods belonged
to a man by the name of Baker who
was moving from Tucker county to
a place over Cheat. A large crowd
collected to see the runaway.

SOME WORDS OF PRAISE.
The Wheeling News Says some Very
Nice things about the school of

Nice things about the school of
music.
In last Sundays issue of the Wheel
ing News there appears very nice
write up Of the University school Of
music in connection with the notes
and comments on things musical
which that paper publishes every
Sunday The article is as follows:
An institution which is sure to be
a potent factor in this direction
throughout this entire section, is the
School of Music of the West Virginia
University at Morgantown. Its di-
rector, Charles Alfred Ellenberger, is
just the sort of man whose influence
will be felt. Besides his high stand
ing as vocal teacher, an organist and
choir leader. he possesses the faculty
OF enthusing by his earnestness, and
his genial manner, every one who is
at all musical who comes in contact
with him. With rare business judy
ment he has gathered about him a
most competent corps of assistants.
This is especially true OF Miss Russell
McMurphy, a pupil of Heinrich Barth,
of Berlin, and of several distinguished
American pianists. Miss McMurphy
is most intelligent musician and
capable pianist. Very few players
possess greater command of piano
technique or play with more discrimi-
mating intelligence.
Thee other assistants, Miss Grace
Martin, piano; Mr.. Frank w. Keene,
violin. and Mr. Walter Mestrezat,
brass instruments, are fully compe-
tent and in their respective depart
ments will add much to the growth
of the school.

IT Is COMING.
Extension of the p. V. & C. Railroad
South Assured, and the Effect Oh the
M0nOngahela Valley.

BROWNSVILLE, Feb. 2S.-Now
that the P. v & G. railroad will GER
tainly be extended up the river within
a short time, the question which
arouses the most interest is whether
it will traverse the east side or the
west side of the Monongahela. Ow-
ing to natural advantages and the inn
mense difficulty of construction nee
essary to pass the road through
Brownsville and Bridgeport, it is al
most certain that it will be built on
the west side. A few years will see
the line extended to Charleston, the
terminus originally fixed by the own
ers of the road The three towns
will always be an important place on
this direct line to the south. When
transportation shall be thus afforded
for the raw cotton of the southern
states, the coal and water facilities
of this valley will render it center
for the manufacture Of cotton goods
of every description. Business men
who are thoroughly versed in out
come of freight rates and raw mater
ial do not hesitate to say that West
ern Pennsylvania will one day be the
greatest manufacturing centre in the
world. The completion Of the Lake
Erie and Ohio river ship canal of the
p, V. & G. road, and the improve
ments on the Ohio and its tributar-
les will prove these men true proph-
cts.

SENECA ELECTION,
The Commissioners set Tues

for 1t.

A mass meeting will be held in a few

nation but he may reconsider the de-
cisi0n- Discussion about the make up
of the ticket although Everything is
Expected to Work out smoothly.
The time for the first election I'M
der the new charter recently granted
to the town of Seneca has been fixed
by the commissioners, Nicholas
Vandervort, John NJ Ii ugh and
Leopold Sigwart 1t viii be held on
Tuesday, March 81. At this time
there will be elected mayor, re-
corder and five councilmen to serve
the new town as their first set Of Off
GERS.
A call Will likely be issued in a
few days for mass meeting of the
citizens of the town to decide on a
ticket that will suit all concerned
Several informal store box confer
enees have been held and the senti-
ment is nearly unanimous in favor
of John NJ Tough for mayor but he
fatty refused all offers of the honor.
However the men interested are in
hopes that he will reconsider his de
termination and accept the office.
There are many reasons why he is
the best man for the place The
chief one is that he in addition to
possessing all the necessary quail
ties is centrally coated and would
be acceptable to both Seneca and
Sunnyside
The personel OF the rest of the
ticket Of course can only be guessed
at but from present indications it is
that the parties interested will be
able to name a ticket that will be
acceptable to all concerned. To do
this the two sections Of the town
will probably agree on the number
and positions Of the men to be
named by them and they will name
the men they want and the other
faction will accept them. Each side
wants the mayor, the recorder and
the councilmen but they will likely
reach an amicable conclusion and
run the town to suit every body in
it as far as that feat can be accom-
plished
The new town will have it's officers
installed and be in full running or
der by the first of April. 1t is the
fourth incorporated town in the
county.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Feb. rs
News was received here to-day of a
remarkable premonition of death
which was given in Pocahontas coun-
ty a few days ago. While Harvey
Maurin was going to his work at a
logging camp, he passed a graveyard,
and remarked: cit seems to me that
| am to be buried in that graveyard
tomorrow" Within six hours he
was caught and killed under falling
log. The night before his death his
wife dreamed that he was killed and
the man who was nearest her hus-
band when the log rolled over him
was also present, in her dream, at
her husbands death.
Maurin did not know of his wife's
dream, as he was away from home.

KLONDYKE LECTURE.
Views of the Tabled Region
Taken from Photographs

Made on the spot will be shown here ON
saturday night-PrOf. Pratt, of the
state University of Delaware will
Lecture on that subject and show a
Lot of Photographs he took there
Last Summer-He surveyed railroad
through the Country Great treat in
store for us.
Anything about Klondyke, the far
off land of ice and gold, whose glitter
has drawn thousands from their
homes to their death, is eagerly sought
by the public. The chance they are
to have Of seeing some Of its woi ders
as they were first seen by man, on
next Saturday night, will be greedily
seized upon. Prof. VIM. A. Pratt, of
the Delaware State university, will be
here and will lecture Oh the far-famed
region and will show a wonderful
collection of views which are made
from photographs which he took while
in the country last summer He was
there as a civil engineer engaged in
laying out a railroad
This road was projected by a num-
Der of capitalists, among whom the
gas man Addicks, the richest man in
Delaware, was the leading spirit.
For SOM years they have been think
ing of building toll road into Alaska
and when the news of the gold dis
coveries became known they decided
to make it a railroad. Prof Pratt is
professor Of Mechanical engineering
at the Delaware state university and
a scientist Of ne little renown. Con
sequently he was selected as the best
man at hand TO take charge of the
survey Of the new road
He spent the last summer in the
tabled region and took many beauti-
full views Of the country through
which they passed These have been
made into lantern slides and will be
shown on the canvass to the audience
These views are not like those usually
shown at such affairs but are taken
by Prof. Pratt right on the spot and
he is familiar with them so that the
lecture is intensely interesting.
The survey of the new road begins
at Juneau and runs up the Taku river
to where it branches and from there
it ascends the Makana for long dis
lance and from there it crosses the
coast range of mountains over by way
of new pass, not the Chillkoot nor
the White pass, but newly discov-
cred one, to lake Treslin. Then down
the lake to Yukon and down that
river to the head of navigation and
above Dawson city. This is the back
door entrance to the Klondyke and
many sare not SO familiar awith it
as they are from the published de-
scriptions of the others.
The lecture will be for the benefit
of the Athletic association and the
admission fee will be twenty-five
cents. All who can possibly do so
should go as there is much Of pleasure
and profit in the lecture.
