At the time the Indictment was

the town and wa told that in case
he came back that it would be en-
forced against him. He promised
to stay away but the temptation was
too great He has been back for

the change IN mind has occurred is
not well understood. Dorsey takes

BARRACKMAN is GONE.
John c. Barrackman is Not Only
Ruined Financially but is a
Fugitive from Justice.

He Bids his Family Good Bye and is
Gone 10 Unknown Parts--Slides out
Retween two Days-=A sad down
fall to a most Popular and well Re-
spected fnan--The Reasons for his
Conduct are InexpIicable
The unexpected has happened;
John &. Barrackman has decamped
and is now known to be a forger to
notes for large sums of money. This
discovery was made on Saturday
but those who knew it were very
close mouthed about it and 1t is not
generally known yet. The discovery
has shocked his large number Of
friends and acquaintance who al
ways supposed him to be model
citizen in every respect.
When he failed a week or more
ago there was no suspicion that there
was anything crooked about the af.
fair and he WAS the recipient of the
sympathy of everyone who knew him.
In investigating the affairs of the
bankrupt man two large notes were
found One of these is for seventeen
hundred dollars and is held by Wy
Kennedy, of Center, this county.
1t is endorsed by Norman. Garrison
and d. c. Core. Garrison says the
note is forgery He is ON one 9th
er note for seven hundred and fifty
and is ruined by the failure Of his
father in-law. He says that he will
have no difficulty in proving that
this note is not genuine one as far
as his signature is concerned If
this be the case Mr.. Core will have
it to pay.
The other note is one endorsed by
Clark Eddy and is now in possession
of the Second National Bank here.
Mr.. Eddy alsn pronounces this note
forgery. The note is for eight
hundred dollars
When Barrickman found that he
could no longer conceal his crime he
babe his wife and child good bye
and deeamped no one knows where.
He left some time FRIDAY night
This case is one of the most sen
sational that ever occurred in the
county from the high character that
the guilty man has always borne
and the excellent reputation that he
has always had. He was very well
known and was very popular Every
one liked him and there has not been
a single derogatory word said about
him since his failure until these
later developments have come to
light. What course will be pursued
towards him is not known. Should
his whereabouts be discovered he
will be arrested and brought back to
stand trial for forgery.

Prof. Aldrich wants to go to war IL his
Country needs bim-First one from
this place who has offered to go.
A special from Washington will
be of very great interest to the peo-
pie of Morgantown. 1t is as follows:
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 30
Representative Dayton to-day re-
ceived communication from VIII
liam S. Aldrich, of the department
of mechanical engineering of the
University, at Morgantown, in which
he says that having watched the
course of events and noted the
speech made by Mr.. Dayton, as a
member of the naval committee. he
believes it is his duty to offer his
services to his country. Mr.. AL
drich's record at Annapolis academy
is said to be good one. He'gradu-
ated in June, 1883, as naval cadet,
standing number six in a class of
fty-four. He later resigned, took
a postgraduate course and has since
been teacher of engineering and
engaged in practical work. Mr..
Dayton will present the matter to
the navy department tomorrow.
So far as known this is the first
offer OF services that has been sent
in from this place but it is safe to
say that should there be a necessity
for them they will pour into the cap
ital city in a perfect flood.

that Charles Hickman, who was sold
by New Castle as pitcher to Boston

friends of Hickman here. He got
his first start In pitching at the Uni

the people here know him. He came
here to catch, but there being no

An Appeal for Justice.

desire to call the attention of the
thinking people of Morgantown, to
the fact that three females, two OF
whom have had no mother since
childhood and only a father in name
and are practically homeless, (the
legitimate offspring of the liquor
business in Morgantown. These
unfortunates are in prison, justly as
we believe, but why are their compan-
ions in crime permitted to go free,
when at least twoof theyoung men are
known, being students in the Uni
versi.y? Is the law only to protect
men from bad women? Is there no
law and justice to protect other pc Il
ignorant girls from dissolute licen-
tious men?

YES, IT CARRIED.
Some of the Voters Thought the
Streets Ought to be Paved.

Consequently they went around and
Voted The large size Of the Majority
Has Paralyxed everybody How the
trick was done Is not known--It was
Expected that the Kicker would show
mp in Larger Numbers but we evi.
IDENTIFY are all Of One Mind. The vote
resulted: Ratification 3eS-- For
Rejection 10.
The election is over and everyone is
amazed at the size of the majority.
That is every one is surprised but the
I-told-you-so man. He is the only
fellow in the place that is not as.
founded. Every one knows that the
people want street paving, but no one
suspected that they wanted it nearly
as bad as they do.
There was very heavy vote cast
for such an election. 1t showed that
while no one had any doubt about
the result, every one felt that il
should be made as emphatic as pos.
sible. Consequently there was two
hundred and seventy eight votes in
the ballot box when the polls closed.
A count of these revealed the fact
that there were only ten of them that
were opposed to the idea OF street
paving.
The gentlemen who did this voting
are not vociferous over the matter
and great many people are anxious
to know who they were. Probably ii
they were given second chance they
would do better next time. At any
rate we will consider that they were
mistaken in the kind OF tickets they
selected and didn't intend to vote
against an issue which has been 81
thoroughly commended by such a
large majority of the people living in
the town.
II every other vote In the town had
been cast and all of these had been
against the bonds they would have
carried. This ought to be very en-
couraging to the council as it shows
that they have three-flfths of the en-.
tire vote of the town at their backs
and can get big majority Of the re.
mainder II they should happen to need
them. The council will meet tonight
to consider the matter and decide on
their course OF action. Some of the
members who have been seen think
that they will be able to begin brick
laying by the first Of next month, but
it is doubtful If 1t can be done by
that time. However, they can't get
too work to quick to please US.
BY the way the suggestion that this
paper made day or SO before tbs
election was not so far out Of the way
after all, was it? We suggested that
the votes be taken by aclamation as
every one was In favor of the bonds.
Had that been done the expense Of an
election would have been saved. We
don't think.

state, passed through the city again
to-day enroute to Clarksburg, accom-

Major Willis still insists that he is
not in position to talk, and that he
can give the press no copies of the
orders that are daily coming to him,
but the mere fact of the extraordinary
activity among the higher officers of

They confess to everything and are
given salty doses by the Recorder.

given salty doses by the Recorder.
For sometime there has been COM
plants made about the conduct OF
three girls about town who have lost
all sense of shame and the proper
appreciation of how to act. They
have been arrested by Harry Pride
and taken before the recorder who
acted in the place of the mayor who
was sick.
The evidence showed they had
been out all night and had slept in
a stable aud that this conduct was
nothing unusual for them. They
are the same persons who gave the
people of Sunnyside such a shock a
few nights ago. The girls did not
seem to understand what they had
done and were as brazen as possible
to be under the circumstances.
The recorder after hearing the tes-
timony gave them each five and
costs. They had no money to pay
this and we're sent to Jail with in
structions that they be given nothing
bnu bread and water.

dramatic club has decided to post
pone giving "Caste" until Friday ev-

the expectations of its friends. No
better play could have been selected
for the purpose and the club has been
most happy. in its selection of charac-
ters, every one participating in the
play being especially adapted to the
part they represent. The club should
