MARTIN-Ewing M. Martin, Of
this place, died in Philadelphia Sun
day evening November goth, no doubt
from the effects of a surgical operation
which he had undergone on Saturday.
For a number Of years past Mr.. Mar
tin had suffered from an abdominal

health and rendered him unable to
attend to business. Once before he
spent some time in Philadelphia
hospital and seemed to be benefited
somewhat but of late he grew worse
and about the middle of the week he
returned TO the city TO have the tumor
removed. The operation was per-
formed on Saturday and the patient
seemed to be getting along well. On
Sunday telegram came to Mrs. Mar
tin saying he had taken turn for
the worse and on Monday morning
another announcing that his death oc-
CURED at 9 o'clock Sunday evening.

old firm of Fairchild, Lawhead & Co.
He leaves wife and six children who
reside in Sunnyside where they have
considerable property. Deceased was

ment here and the lodge at Smithfield.

Senator and Mrs. Faulkner were
among the guests at dinner given by
President and Mrs. Mckinley, at the
White House, on Wednesday evening
in honor of the Anglo-American Com
mission, of which Senator Faulkner
is member. 1t was the first state
dinner of the season, and the Wash
ington papers describe it as one of the
most beautifully appointed functions
of recent years. Covers were laid for
fifty, and besides the Commission, all
the Cabinet officers and their wives
were present. The ladies dresses were
exceptionally elegant, and Mrs. Faulk-
ner is described as looking strikingly
handsome in a gown of yellow MULE.

A Plethora of Wheat.

In the great Kansas wheat belt
elevators are damned with the grain
and buyers are in despair searching
for store houses for wheat.
For ten days car famine has ex-
listed, and cars to move the cereal
have been at high premium.
Reports from ten towns in the
wheat belt say scores of farmers who
had brought in wheat last week for
the Eastern market were compelled to
haul it back home and wait until the
railroads could get cars there. One
third of the wheat is going to Calves
ton and from there by ship to Liver
pool.
Kansas railroads have announced
that during this week they will be
able to supply cars to move at least
10, 900, 900 bushels of wheat out Of the
State. 1t is doubtful, however, that
the roads will be able to keep their
promise. From all over the West
come demands for cars and the same
story of bursting graneries.

OUTGROWN HER PARENT
A Handsome Compliment to the
w. Va. Foot Ball Team.

WASHINGTON, d. c. Nov. 19.-The
chosen sons of the Old and New
Dominions clashed on the foot ball
field at Charleston, on Monday, for
the first time, aud the proud colors Of
the University of Virginia were trail
ed in the mud before the onslaughts
of the lusty students from the Nor
gantown institution. Time was
when the older and more renowned
school would not deign to notice the
challenges Of its baby brother across
the Alleghenies, and their meeting at
the States capital was the result OF
four years of constant endeavor by the
student body, aided and encouraged
by the faculty OF the West Virginia
University. Mother Virginia was
beaten TO 0, and the defeat was as
the proyerbial gall and NORWOOD.
The celebration OF the victory at Nor
gantown was but one expression Of the
Joy felt all over the State by every
loyal West Virginian. The claim
that w. V. US superiority will result
in bringing many students to the
university next year who would other
wise have gone to Charlottesville, is
not absurd, by ANY means, for the
boy OF this decade likes TO root for
winning college eleven.

AN INJUNCTION GRANTED.
Adam Bower enjoins the county Court
to prevent the building Of n wall.

Among the improvements being
made on the court house grounds
wall from the walk just built to the
bower property was ordered built.
To this Mr. Bower objected and
through his attorneys Messrs More
land and Glasscock he secured a
preliminary injunction to prevent
the work. Mr.. Bower claims that
the Il foot alley that formerly was
open between his property and the
old Lazier building was dedicated to
public use by act Of the legislature
of Virginia and that in buying the
Lazier building the title to the alley
did not pass into the county court
and that the space must be left
there yet. No time has been fixed
for argument but the injunction will
hold until the evidence is taken and
the question decided by the court

A man and woman desert an infant
near Huntington leaving it with
strange family-Neither Of them can
be found-HaYe not been seen since
the occurrence.
Huntington advertiser.

Huntington advertiser.
More than three months ago well
dressed man riding horse back, APP
peared at the residence of highly re-
spected family, living about three
miles south of Huntington. The man
was a stranger to the family, but he
gave his name as Abner Smythe and
claimed that he was an employee Of
the c. s. O. shops, in this city, and
that his wife had but recently died
leaving a babe but few weeks old,
and chat he was endeavoring TO get
some family in the country to take
and keep the child for him and that
he was willing TO pay them literally,
if they would do so.
Finally the family referred to. agreed
TO take the child, so the next day the
gentleman returned driving in a car
riage and with him was a stylishly
dressed woman. She did not leave
the carriage but the man who claimed
his name was Smythe took the babe,
which was a blue-eyed little girl into
the house and giving IL to the family
said: 1.-THE little ones mothers name
was Lucy, so you had better give it
that name.n With a statement that
he would call frequently, and thai
next time he called he would pay
them three months in advance for
keeping the child, he departed and
with the woman who accompanied
him drove toward this city.
Days rolled by, yes weeks, then
months but the man who left the
child never returned, and has not re-
turned to this day. A vigorous search
has been made about the shops here,
but no one filing the description OF
the alleged father could be found and
no name is on the pay rolls tallying
with the one given by the stranger
who left the child.
The little child has been favored
with the best of health, has grown
rapidly, and is now idolized by the
good famil. who has been keeping it,
but they Ire much mystified over the
peculiar situation.

Need of q New Church.

The need Of new and larger
Methodist Episcopal church was
amply demonstrated last night when
DIR. Leech preached the second of
his series of sermons to young men.
Last evening the aisles and vacant
spaces were filled with chairs, and
even then it was difficult to seat the
congregation. Hundreds of people,
many of them University students
packed the large auditorium. We
hope the new church enterprise will
be earnestly pushed.

The Distinguished Former West Vir-
ginian Receives Deserved Tribute.
The Chicago Law Journal contains
the following comment on the resig.
nation from the Cook county superior
court bench Of Judge John Barton
Payne, formerly of Kingwood, who
has attained national distinction as a
jurist since he left the state and took
up his residence in Chicago:
An absolute loss befalls the super
ior bence of Cook county in the vol
untary retirement of John Barton
Payne, whose letter of resignation is
now in the hands Of Governor Tanner.
Judge Payne, during his five years
service as superior court judge, has
demonstrated that he possesses pos
tive and exceptional capacity and
character for judicial work. Schooled
in the basic principles of the law,
skillful and versatile in applying
them to facts, adversant and contested
conditions, possessing peculiar facil-
Ivy lOi oihSliuS Oub dllti Gill DHdSlLluR
the salient points and pivotal factors
in the law and evidence involved in
a case, clear in discrimination and
quick in decision Judge Payne soon
won recognition as one of the most
active and admirable members Of the
state Judiciary. Possessing a choice
combination Of rare legal ability, lib
eral culture, integrity that repels ap-
proach, a dignity that deters presump-
ton and commands respect, and cour-
age tempered with courtesy, he has
been wise and worthy wearer Of the
ermine.
Judge Payne's resignation takes eff
feet Oh the first Monday in December
at which time he will engage in the
active work of his profession in this
city, so the benchs loss will be the
bars gain.

A LINE OF LEVELS.
The West Fork is to receive at
tention from the Engineers.

Party under Mr.. /. n. Lucas is now at
work on it-A survey will soon be
made and report sent to Washing
ton as to the ACCESSIBILITY of Stacking
the stream from Fairmont to Clarks-
burg-It will not likely be dOne-If
it should, however the improvement
would be valuable one to the Peo-
pie of the district drained.
Engineer |. n, Lucas has been or
dered to go to Monongah where he
will begin the completion of line
of levels which is to be run on the
West Fork from Fairmont to Clarks-
burg. This is done in response to
an order which has been issued by
Major Charles T. Powell who has
charge Of the Monongahela and its
tributaries.
The appropriation for the survey
was gotten through Congress at it's
last session by the member from the
First district, Mr.. Dovener The
survey will be completed some time
in the near future and the report
will be prepared as soon as possible
and presented to the authorities at
Washington with a recommendation
in relation to the Stacking of the
West Fork
From what is known of the stream
at present it is not thought that it
will be deemed adequate to be slack
ed and the work will only serve to
show up the fact only the more
clearly. However should this be
found to be incorrect and we hope
that it will be another navigable
stream will be added to those which
are helping the State in her march
toward industrial prosperity.
The people who live along the
river are very anxious to have the
work done but the river is too small
for the undertaking. The mineral
wealth along it is very great and if
it could be accomplished the i'm
provement would be a very profita-
BILE one to the citizens of the county
trayersed.
Charles Mccoy will also be a
member of the party which is to run
the line of levels. The other men
needed will be procured after the
party reaches Monongah.
No further order in relation to the
man who is to have charge of the
work under Col. Golay has been re-
ceived by Mr.. Lucas but he has been
going ahead with the work in re-
Spouse to orders which he is con-
stantly receiving and from all indi-
cations he will be left in the vacant
place
This is quite a promotion for him
and is a well deserved one. All his
trends here are glad to see it and
they are certain that no better man
can be selected. His many years of
experience in the work has equipped
him in every respect and they hope
that the present status of affairs will
be made permanent
