TEHACHAPI VISITED BY
A SERIOUS BLAZE.
Progress of the Flames Stayed by
Blowing Up Houses With

TEHACHAPI, March 1.-The Little
Pinto Hotel and three adjoining dwellings
were tonight destroyed by fire, which
was caused by the explosion of a lamp in
the office of DR.. Lindsay, located in the
front part of the hotel. When the fire
started the entire town was threatened
with destruction, and several houses were
blown up with giant powder to prevent
the spread of the flames. The wind was
favorable, but the confagration had to be
fought by the entire male population Of

Hand Badly Hurt.

Saturday morning Haley team
ster at the planning mill was in the
mill and was attracted by the buzz
planer. He began an investigation
which resulted in his loosing pieces
ont of every finger on his left hand.
The thumb also suffered in the mix
up. Luckily none of the fingera were
cut off nor were they mutilated
enough to call for amputation. Each
Of the fingers was badly hurt and he
will be compelled to refrain from
work for some time ON account of
the accident. The planer that did
the damage is the same kind of a
machine that mangled so many stu
dents few years ago just after it
was put in mechanical hall. DR.. 10
seph dressed the injuries received by
the young man and he will be all
right again soon and with the ex-
ception of several scars will be none
the worse for the accident.

IT CARRIED.
Seneca Will Soon be More Than
a Mere Name.

Sunnyside Helps to Make town that
she Don't Want in-Didn't Know Her
strength But seventy Votes Mustered
for the New town--There are More
than that ON SunnYside-They Go in
for the New town i'm Order to Make
terms sure thing, and afterwards
Find they Could Have Defeated it If
they had tried.
The election held on Saturday to
pass on the proposition to incorporate
the new town of Seneca out of the sub
urbs Sunnyside and Beechurst result
ted in sweeping victory for the plan.
The vote stood 20 to 10. The result
was as expected, but the majority was
not so large. This was due to the
fact that number of the residents
of the down river suburb are not legal
voters and were unable to cast their
ballots when they were challenged
A number of those who were refused
votes voted in the school election and
gave rise to the idea that there was a
much larger number Of voters in
Beechurst than there really were. 1t
is safe to say that had the Sunnyside
people known that the number of
votes which could have been mustered
against them was as small as it was
that they would have fought the plan
of incorporation and would have
beaten it out.
They were drawn into supporting
the move because they thought it
would carry any way they went, and
that by supporting it they could make
better terms with their conquerors
than by fighting the scheme. They
could have defeated the new town had
they known they had che strength.
And that is what they would have
done as they don't want in any town
at all. However, the matter is settled
now and they will make the best of it.
The new town takes in large scope
of territory and will soon be very
important one. 1t has within its
bounds the University, and Morgan
town proper can no longer be said to
be the seat of that institution. The
papers in reference to the new town
will be presented to the court at the
coming session and il there is nothing
wrong with them from a legal stand
point the incorporation will be granted
and an election of town officers will
be ordered This will be held about
the first of April and in short time
the town will be in good running
order.

Runaway Down Bank Hill.

Saturday evening there was an
exciting runaway down Bank Hill.
The horse belonging to w. w. Hayes
was being driven to the depot when
a shaft became loose This allowed
the sled to run up on his heels and
he ran away. The faster he ran the
faster the sled came after him and
the runaway was becoming serious
when Guy Hayes caught the other
shaft and tore it Off The sled stopped
at once and the people in it dis
mounted in every direction. No one
was hurt and the horse went on
down to the station and stopped in
his accustomed place. No damage
was done to the sled or harness.

JOHN A. ROBINSON DEAD.
Died at His Home ON Sunday Morning.
Close of an Honorable and Useful
Life--His Life aud services.

For some time Col. John A. Robin
son has been very sick man. The
kilograms about the serious nature of
his illness have prepared his friends
for the announcement of his death,
which occurred at his home at Patter-
sons depot on Sunday. He was for
twenty years or more member of the
board Of regents of the University,
and president of that body. During
that time he was of course very often
in Morgantown and met many of our
many excellent qualities. Few men
have the chance to spend their lives
as he did in so many important posi-
tions, and few improve the chance as
he has done. He lived without re-
preach and died without stain on his
name.
John Armstead Robinson was born
near Pruntytown, Taylor county,
November Is, 1890, his parents being
Of English ancestry. His education

Rev. DIR. Wheeler From 1862 TO
1861 he was in business at Fetterman,
the last five years of that period
being postmaster. In May, 1861, he
enlisted in the Confederate army,
and served until the surrender of
General Lee. He was promoted to
be captain of Company. A, Twenty
fifth Virginia Infantry, and was
afterwards made colonel for meri-
torious services. While in the army
he was also member of the Virginia
Assembly, from 1863 TO 1865. After
the war he located at Patterson's
Creek, Hampshire county, where he
was farmer, merchant and depot
agent. In 1872 he was chosen to the
Constitutional Convention, in which
he was a member of the Committee
on Executive Offices. The same year
he was appointed Regent for the
State University, was chosen Presi-
dent of the board and Chairman of
the Executive Committee. In 1877
he was elected to the House of Del
igates. in which he was made Chair
man of the Committee on Privileges
and Elections, and member Of other
important committees. In late years
he was special agent OF the B. 81 o.
railroad, and valuable man to that
corporation in this State.

A BIG LEASE.
1900 Acres Of Land leased for Oil in
Union District by Pennsylvania
Parties,

j. W. Dawson, of Harms City, Pa,
has leased large amount of land in
Union district ostensibly for the
purpose ofdeveloping it for oil Few
think that there is any quantity of
oil in that section as the oil bearing
rocks in which the fluid on the west
side of the river is found come to
the surface on this side of the river
The land leased comprises 1900
acres and lies on both sides of Cheat
The nearest part is about four miles
from town. A lot more will be leas-
ed but that is farther away than
this. There are those who think
that the leasing is really for the
coal with the avowed purpose of get
ting the OIL Subsequent events
will show just what is in the air.
The owners of the land leased are:
Rufus Weaver, James Hare, Irwin
Vandervort, William Parfitt, Chris
and Beth Jennewine, VIM. Bayles,

that something will come of the ven
ture and that the section of country

''The girl who works-God bless
her," says an exchange. She is
brave and active; she is not too proud
to earn her own living; she is not
ashamed to be seen at her own task;
she is studious, painstaking and
patient: she smiles from behind the
counter desk; her smile is the re-
Election of celestial grandeur and
eternal bliss, there is memory of
her own sown into each soul; she is
like beautiful mountaineer, her
character is pure as the bubbling
spring, strong as the rock from which
it flows and as high as the mountains
topmost pinnacle. The sight of her
should be fine inspiration for us all.
Her hand may be stained by dish
washing, sweeping, factory grease or
printers ink, but it is an honest and
helping hand; it stays misfortune
from many homes; it is one shield
that protects many forlorn little
family from the restitution of the
world. All honor to the girl that
works.

lett for Parkersburg where he goes
to investigate the death of his broth
er Jerry which occurred there some
three wes ks ago. Warren does not
take any stock in the suicide story
from the conduct OF some of the par
ties who were witnesses of the affair.
They have acted very suspiciously
and he is determined to sift the
matter to the bottom and if his
brother was foully dealt with to
bring his slayers to justice There
are several things about the tragedy
that do not look exactly straight
and the effort will be made to find
out how matters stand.
Warren has letters to several
prominent Parkersburg people and
will get all the help in his quest that
they can give him. He will stay
there until he has found out every
thing that there is to be found about
the sad event and he is thoroughly
satisfied as to how his brother died
We hope that he will be successful
in his errand and that crookedness
which may have occurred may be
punished as it deserves. The daily
report of his progress will be await

THE SOCIAL EVIL SCOTCHED,
An Eloquent Appeal for Person
al Purity.

anu OUMut1UHdtfOu VI OVOAbt
A Large Audience Listens to the
Fourth of the 'sTen Talks yesterday
Afternoon-Th Topic was the Seventh
Commandment.
The vestry of the NJ. E. church
was crowded to the doors yesterday
afternoon to hear the fourth Talk
on the cardinal virtues
The topic was the seventh Com
mandment: Thou shalt not com
nit adultery" No one knew who
was to give the talk-as the talker
is never announced in advance-and
when Mrs. Pierce was introduced
there was a wave OF expectancy came
from the audience, and the expecta-
ton was not disappointed. For thir-
ty minutes she held the intense at
tention of every auditor 1t was a
most eloquent utterance, both in
matter and manner, in behalf of per-
sonal purity, the purity of the home,
and in condemnation of the social
evil. There were passages so full of
worldly wisdom in their pertinence
to the truth she was enforcing that
they were eloquent with suggestive
ness. For instance she declared
that pure woman could go to the
Klondike and be perfectly safe as an
unprotected female among that body
of pioneers. If she was a pure wom-
an all the native chivalry that is in
man would fly to her relief If she
needed protection. The speaker her
self has had a wide observation of
life in the army, where her husband,
up to his death, was an officer, and
she declared that she believed there
is as much virtue in men as in wom-
en-; that she had never met with
look or sign in all her experience
among men that contradicted this
belief; and that she had never asked
favor Of man who was not gener-
GUS to the point of gallantry in his
response
But we do not venture to report
this Talk" because we forbear to
mangle and spoil it. The New Do
MINToN can only apologize to it's read
ers for not giving an outline Of this
talk as it has of the others. But
Mrs. Pierce refused us her notes, and
what can you do with a woman when
she won't. When she had concluded
her talk there was very urgent
suggestion from some of the audi
ence, that it be published in pamph-
let form, and this may be done.
The topic for next Sunday was an
nounced to be the sixth Command
ment, and the promise was made
that after the audience heard this
Talk they will agree that there is
a good many reasons back of this
familiar command they never thought
of.
Judging from the attendance and
attention, the public interest in these
familiar topics has not yet died out
in Morgantown.
