THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION.

The Students Get Together and Elect
officers for Next Year - Who Was
Chosen and some Notes on the Organ
izati0n.
The Athletic association held a
meeting on Thursday afternoon and
elected officers for the next year. For
president they selected III. NJ. White;
vice president, I'll. G. Grassland;
treasurer, j. G. Long; secretary,
f. O. Bumgardner. John Sweeney,
the present incumbent, was reelected
base ball manager for next year. All

shape and all the students who
amount to anything in the student

The result accomplished this year
in the face of all the opposition and
difficulties which the new organiza-
tion always meets has been very great
and gives those interested the liveliest
satisfaction.

FAIRMONT NOTES.
The Expositor has some things
of Interest here.

A Compliment for Duke Dent the Mid

and the way the old National Guards

Officer is not to blame but II makes
the old men feel very much aggrieyed

holders.
Duke Dent, the star pitcher of the
university team, has been signed by
Uniontown. He won the game
against Uniontown for the Univer-
sity ON Monday, and the way he did
it was convincing of his merits as
pitcher. Duke is the boy who won
the game for the university against
Ohio Wesleyan on Saturday.
Rev. and Mrs James Sheerin, OF
Morgantown, were in the city to-day
on their way to Weston, where they
will attend the meeting of the Epis-
copal council. Mr.. Sheerin is the
rector of the Episcopal church at
Morgautown, but has resigned the
charge and will leave there after
commencement at the University.
He will 90 to Connecticut.
1t is true that the organization of
this and other new companies in the
state is an absolute turn-down of
the companies of the national guard
that are already organized and were
not chosen to 60 on the first call. 1t
is the most highly original manner
of raising troops that was ever de-
yised, in that the governor of the
state is debating the entire matter.
He has seen fit to ask for companies
other than those in the national
guard, and it is an insult 60 the
guard that will never be forgiven.
Captain Scott and his brave Marion
county boys are utterly ignored
when they stand ready to go any
place they are ordered. Standiford
is not to blame, but it is peculiar bus
mess throughout.
1t seems that the dream of rail
road has not lost all it's chances of re-
atty. A letter to friend here from
Thomas w. Fleming of a recent
date says: 81 attended a meeting
of the West Virginia d Pennsyl-
vania railroad few days ago aud
those present were r. T. Lowndes,
Col. Ben Wilson, j. T. Sands, Messrs.
Potts and Schwartz, of Philadelphia,
and myself. At the meeting Mr..
Lowndes resigned his position as
president, and Hon. M. Huff, Of
Greensburg, ex member of congress,
was elected to the position. Col.
Wilson resigned his position as vice
president, and A. O. Tintsman, of
Philadelphia, was elected vice presi-
dent. Mr.. Schwartz was elected
secretary and treasurer. All of the
new officers are officers Of the Penn
sylvania company. Mr.. Huff and
others will be out in June to attend
a meeting of the court in Harrison
county"

THE WAR PROGRESS.
A Few of the Things thathave
been done in the last
tWenty-four hours.

The annexation of Hawaii
together with all the disadvan-
tages that such a job will en-
tail is gaining ground among
the stock jobbers OF the Sen
ate.
The second expedition to
the Philippines will not be
ready for two weeks yet and
the men are in need of cloth
ing and shoes.
Santiago is on the verge of
starving.
The rebels are said to have
attacked Santiago in three
places but later advices fail to
confirm the reports and they
are now believed to be I'M
founded although such an at
tack is expected soon.
Full accounts of the first
fight at Santiago have been
received by the navy depart
ment.
Spain has protested against
shipment of coal from British
America to the San Francisco
for the use of the relief of
Dewey's fleet at Manila but
the protest don't 60.
There is considerable activ-
ity among military men at
Tampa and they are busily
preparing for the invasion
which will be vigorously pros
ecuted when Cevera has been
attended to.
Mr.. Cannon says that it
will cost six hundred millions
a year to carry on the war
should it last that long.
Sampson has been sent to
reinforce Schley and they are
together watching the en-
trance of the harbor where
the Spaniards are confined.
Spain has asked the other
powers to intercede and Aus
tria is ready providing the
others join with her. They
however are shy of the row.

TOWN BONDS SOLD.
Seasongood & Mayer, of Cincin-
natl, take them at par.


will not get the $4,000 which they
agreed to take from the Council
The Firm is very much pleased with
the town and the PeOple-The Com
mittee and the Firm have agreed but
there has been no contract made yet
The bonds will be ready in few
daYs-The bids will close on June ID
and Brick will be laid by July Il
The whole thing will be done by Nov
18th.
The firm OF Seasongood q Mayer,
of Cincinnati, are struck on Morgan
town and the people here. They not
only bought the school bonds at a
handsome premium but they have
made an agreement with the com
mittee from the council on the sale
of the town street paving bonds to
take them at par. They want the
whole lot md will take those already
asked for by the Bank of the Monon-
gahela Valley. fhe committee has
agreed to the proposition and the
contract will be made at once. Ev-
erything has been agreed upon and
there seems to be no chance Of q
failure anywhere.
The representative Of the firm who
was here but who has gone home
was very much pleased with Nor
gantown and the evidence Of push
and progress which he saw here.
He told the members of the council
who talked with him that it was a
very rare thing for a town this size
to sell four and half per cent.
bonds. People will not buy them
as the population is not large enough
to warrant the purchase However
he said that he had no hesitaney in
taking them here for he was fully
satisfied that we could do more than
any town of its size in the country
The amount of bonds which he
has taken is $4,000 Ten thousand
of this will go to pay off the float
ing debt OF the town and the rest
will be used in street paving. The
bonds are nov being printed in ST..
Louis and ought to be here in a few
days. When they are received and
the contract duly made the money
will be available for paving and the
work can go right on.
The bids for the work will be in on
June 18th and with the whole
amount voted for paving available
the work can be completed this sum
mer as far as the money will 90.
This is the intention of the council
to do everything that can be done
between now and the 18th of No
vember. The contractors will have
until that time to get done what
they have to do.
Actual brick laying can begin by
the first of July and the work will
be carried on as fast as it can be
done. That has been the policy of
the council since they went into
office. They have pushed things as
fast as they could have been done
The whole thing from start to finish
has been done in the very best way
possible and it has been done as
fast it could have been done that
way.
Every one endorses the work of
the council and their success thus
far has been very encouraging. The
people here will be very glad when
they see dirt begin to move to make
place for the brick which is to form
our streets This is on the eve of
realization and all who have been
interested in the matter feel very
good over the way things are going.

UNIVERSITY CATALOGUES.

mer Quarter comes I'm for Large
Share Of Attenti0n-0ther books will
be Here in few Days.
The first copies of the University
catalogue have arrived and they are
being looked over by the regents
and the faculty. Those who are in
authority are very much pleased
over the showing made IN the cata-
logue and the way that the Uniyer=
sity now compares with the other
institutions OF high grade Of the
country The catalogues will do a
great deal of good in showing what
advance has been made at the Uni
yersify in the last few years and to
those who have not been watching
the progress of events closely they
will be great surprise.
The amount of the books received
is so small that none of them will be
given out but the others are expect
ed in short time and they will
then be ready for general dlstribu-
ton The number of students in
attendance at Morgantown is six
hundred and forty-one The total
here and Montgomery together with
those who are connected by cores
pondence is eight hundred and for
ty.
This will serve TO show what a
wonderful influence the University is
exerting on the people of the state
from which most of these are drawn.
However the representation from
other states is growing and before
many years it will be thing Of great
moment
The only draw back to the book is
the fact that they are not illustrated.
This feature has proven very valua-
bic one in getting the catalogue Of the
school distributed where they will do
the most good and in showing the
people of the state in the most graphic
manner what we have here for them.
1t has been objected that illustrated
catalogues look too small for an in
stitution of this size. But the fact
remains that the only reason that we
have not more students and better
school than we have at present is on
account Of the ignorance Of the people
as to what is here. In no way that
has been found can this obstacle be
overcome SO well as by putting pic
| lures Of the institution where they
will do the most good. 1t is to be
regretted that these most valuable
and interesting features have been
discarded and to be hoped that here
after they will be used.
The summer quarter comes in for
large share OF attention in the cata-
logue and the wealth of instruction
that is to be offered will prove draw
ing card to bring students here for
the summer. 1t shows the remark of
the president of Colby University to
have been well considered. He said
that the University had the finest
course offered for the summer of any
institution in the United States. This
is very high praise and since tits abso-
lutely correct it should be source of
pride to every one interested in the
University.

The Brooklyn Being Prepared
to Join the Fleet.
SPANISH SENDING A BATTLEsHIP.
The vizcaya, More Formidable Fight
ing Machine Than the maine-Power-
full and Easter-satisfactory Reports
From cuba-The White Squadron.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-1mportant in
cidents in the Cuban situation were the
orders issued to rush work on the cruiser
Brooklyn, now at New York, so that
she may join the fleet at Key West, and
the announcement at Madrid that the
Spanish battleship Vizcaya, of 1000
tons displacement, has been ordered to
visit American ports.
She is q formidable craft larger,
faster and more powerful than the
Maine. Her points as recorded here are
rs follows:
Length, $40 feet; beam, 60 feet; draft,
u feet 6 inches; propellers, 1900
horsepower, with a 12-inch armor belt
and barbettes 101a inches, and an arm
ored deck varying in thickness from 2
to inches. Her battery is made up of
2 % centimeters, 10 IA centimeters
/ 8 centimeter Call Honoria guns made
III SPAIN, 81 milimeters, 81 mill
meters and machine guns. There are
8 torpedo tubes. The ship was launched
III 1891, cost S3,000,000. and is capable
OF p knots speed, while the Maine is
but liz knots. Altogether fac Vizcaya
is a formidable ship
All the advlces received by the state
department and navy department from
Cuba were satisfactory. General Lee
reported that all was quiet and order
prevailed IN Havana. AT about the
same hour cablegram came to the
navy department from Captain Sigsbee
of the Maine, saying that general inter
est was manifested on the arrival of the
Maine i'll Havana harbor, but there had
been no demonstration. He had been
ashore himself several times officially
and had been received with the greatest
courtesy. He expected to visit the
palace today.
Secretary Long received a telegram
from Admiral Sicard saying that the
North Atlantic squadron had gone into
the inner anchorage at Dry Tortugas
The telegram was brought to Key West
by the Fern, which is serving as a dis
patch and supply boat for the fleet.
The torpedoboats in the vicinity of Key
West are under Admiral Sicard's orders
while near the squadron, to serve also
as dispatch vessels and to give the YES
selsssome prac ice in the drills for re.
pelling torpedo attacks.
This does not, however, interfere with
the standing orders to Lieutenant Com
mander Knmball, the commanding
officer of the torpedoboat flotilla, and
the little craft will continue on their
cruise along the coast as far west as
Galveston and then returning, go ur
the Mississippi river i'll the early spring.
The Porter, one of the fleet, sailed from
Port Tampa for Mobile, in company
with the Ericsson. to be present at
local celebration there, but they prob
ably will return to the squadron before
resuming their alongshore cruise.
