More Trouble About the Bridge.

Many OF the people living in Dur
hannah are kicking over the support
for the new bridge on their side of the
creek. They say that they are in
sufficient to support the structure
properly and that the matter should
be remedied before the iron is put on.
Some of them even go so far as to say
that they will resort to an injunction
in case the defect is not looked after
before the iron goes on.
The iron is said to have been ship
ped from the factory and it will not
be long until it is on the ground and
ready to go into place. The delay on
account of this difficulty it is hoped
not likely to prove very extended.
The travelling public want the bridge
opened for traffic and want it quick.

Quite a Compliment Indeed.

Or. Chas. It. Nesbitt, late Of Fair
mont, is making quite an enyiable
record for himself in his profession.
At the first call for troops in West
Virginia DR.. Nesbitt responded. as
assistant surgeon, and when the vol
unteers We're transported to Chieka-
manga he found himself a full-fiedged
servant Of Uncle Sam. At that place
all the surgeons were placed under a
rigid examination, and Lieutenant
Gramm of the regular army says that
DR.. Nesbitt received great commend
alton for the thorough record he
made in medicine and surgery. He
received compliments from all his
superior officers. As a result of the
proficiency shown he was detailed to
examine the physical condition of
the entire guard of the State. We
are glad to hear of the young mans
success.

THE WAR PROGRESS.
A Few ofthe Things that have
been done in the last
twenty-four hours.

The Governor General of
the Philippines again cables
home that he is in a desper-
ate situation. As much has
been suspected here for a
month or more.
The Yale has landed six
teen thousand men near San
tiago. These are the first of
the reinforcements that will
be sent to aid Shafter.
The orders for the First
West Virginia regiment to-
gether with fourteen other re-
giments to get ready to leave
Chicamauga have been re-
voked and every regiment at
the park has been given the
same orders that were former
ly only given to these few.
The St. Paul under Sigsbee
had a fight yesterday with the
torpedo boat Terror and near
ly sank her.
In all twenty=one thousand
men are to be sent to Manila.
Ten thousand of these are on
the way.
Camara S squadron is still
at Port Said but it is expect
ed to start through the Suez
canal to-day.
1t is reported that the
Americans have cut off the
entire water supply of Santa

can hold out but a short time
longer. 1t now has only the
cisterns to depend on and they
are nearly empty.
The two armies are still
facing each other at only a
short distance apart and a
terrible conflict may start at
any time but it is not expect
ed for some days yet.

THE COAL INSTITUTE.
About Seventy-five Members ar
rive last Night.

They come in from Pittsburg ON the

here-The University Is Inspected

held here and that will be Attended
to In Fairm0nt-The party left for
that Place on the Noon train They
will be through here to morrow
Morning.
The members of the Western Penn
sylvania coal institute arrived here last
night about midnight on the Florence
Belle. There were about half of the
expected one hundred and fifty peo-
pie on board Many Of the members
were accompanied by their wives.
The party was quartered at the
different hotels and this morning left
on the noon train for Fairmont. Dur
ing the course of the morning they
visited and inspected the State Unit
versity. They were very well pleased
with what they saw and many of
them were greatly surprised at the
size and extent OF the institution. No
regular session was held 1t being de-
cided to hold all the sessions in Fair
mont.
While there they will be taken to
Monongah and inspect the mpes there
The return trip will be made tomorrow
morning and they will take the boat
here for Pittsburg. These trips are
taken once year by the institute
which is composed of mining engi-
neers, superintendent and people
generally who are connected with the
coal mining industry of the great state
to the north Of us.
The party was loud in its praises of
the beautiful valley through which 1t
had come and Of the very pretty town
in which they spent the night The
beauty of the town was unexpected
and they were correspoadingly eIated
over it. No especial pains was taken
by the council or any representative
body to receive the visitors and they
were left to their own sweet wills to
take In the town as they saw fit.

LET 'EM FIGHT.
Warrington Trying to steal Fairmont
Thunder-A Case of TOO Much Jeal-

0usy.
Warrington adyertises that the
Fairmont base ball team will play
at that place on the Fourth, says the
Expositor, and also that DR.. Thomp-
son will 90 up in balloon there.
Both statements would be all right
except that they lack the essential
element Of truthfulness. The Fair
mont base ball team will play Union
town at this place on the day men
toned, which is the day that is go
ing to be celebrated here in won
derful manner, and the same day
DR.. Thompson, whose reputation is
world wide, viii go up in balloon
from the fair ground here. The
people of Warrington have taken a
very poor method of attempting to
lessen the crowd that intends to be
there that day. They advertise for
that place the very things that are
to be here, and anybody knows that
kind of business viii not work. The
Warrington folks could arrange a
little celebration without mlsrepre-
senting matters surely.

state Educational Association insessior

The session Of the state education
al association began this morning in
Wheeling. There is a good attend
ance of the leading educators Of the
state and the session as usual will
prove to be very interesting and
profitable one. A number of the
Professors from the University are
down for addresses before the meet
ing and others of the educators liy-
ing in Morgantown are there in at
tendance. Probably no town in the
State takes more active interest in
the association and its discussions
than this place.

THE PRESBYTERY.
The members of the Parkers-
burg Presbytery meet in
Fairmont.

The Case Of the Clarksburg Church
and Rev. Whites Relations TO II come
up-The Pastoral Relations are dis
solved By Mutual Consent The Ques-
tion of the Guilt or Innocence Of the
Minister Is not Investigated Action
is Postponed until September when
the PresbyterY meets i'm Kingwood.
In the meantime Judgment should be
Suspended in the Matters.
Rev. A. NJ. Buchanan has return
ed from Fairmont where he had
been attending a special meeting of
the Parkersburg Presbytery of which
he is the moderator This meeting
had been called to consider some
matters in relation to the Rev. Chas.
White case. The attendance was not
large and the session was short tax
ing up only one afternoon.
The pastoral relations existing
between Rev White and the church
at Clarksburg were dissolved by mu
tual request This action was taken
irrespective of the guilt or innocence
of the minister whose usefulness was
destroyed as pastor there by the
terrible events which occurred re-
Gently in connection with the death
of Minnie Holmes, of Clarksburg
There was no formal trial of Rev.
White who of course is under a
cloud in the church and whose con
nection with the tragedy will be
thoroughly investigated by the
church. The attendance was go
small and those who were there all
being close personal friends of the
minister that all thought that it
would be better to postpone action
until the regular meeting of the
Presbytery which takes place this
fall in Kingwood.
Had the case come up this time
it would have hardly been in the
shape of trial but it would have
taken the form of statement of his
connection with the affair from Rev.
White and the Presbytery would
have investigated this and passed
upon it as to its credibility. This
of course was not done and until it
is done the public should again with
hold its judgment and await the ac-
ton of the church. In the meantime
we cannot know what has really
taken place and should we try to
Judge we are more than likely to
make most grevious mistake.
1t is the most elementary princi-
pie of law that man must be con
sidered innocent until he is proven
guilty. This rule should be taken
in this case and the man in ques-
ton should be given the benefit of

makes it altogether unlikely that

very strong conviction pervades the
public mind in this section that the
southern troops will see little active
service in the field The extreme
partisanship shown in army ap-

dency OF the war give little assur-
auce that many fayors will be shown

ltis exceedingly satisfactory to
find AN those newspapers, who had
so much sport over tine little hap
peniugs to the battle ship Texas
some years ago, when she was h0un-

so gracefully au the hard things
they then said. They are now vieug

Texas held up her end in superb
style When even the Spanish ad-
miral and the captain of his vessels
are unanimous i'm saying the credit
for the pening up of the feet and
preventing their escape was due
entirely to the Bro0kIyn, Oregon
and the Texas, then we may be
certain beyond peradreuture of a
doubt it was so. For it would have
been very much to their honor to
have declared it took every boat of
our much larger feet to do them
up Great Texas can afford to
give her namesake a gold table ser
