Bishop Fowler will Lecture here Feb.
10Th.

Morgantown is soon to have a
treat which is seldom enjoyed out
side of large cities. This will be the
famous lecture by Bishop Fowler on
Abraham Lincoln. The official Board
of the Methodist Episcopal church,
believing that Morgantown people
will appreciate such lecture has
arranged to have the Bishop deliver
this lecture in the church Feb. 10th.
Bishop Fowler is recognized as the
most eloquent of the Bishops since
Simpsons day, and is not surpassed
by any platform speaker in America.
This lecture will cost the church
over one hundred dollars; but it is
desired to make it possible for all
who can enjoy first class lecture
to attend; and so the tickets will
only be fifty cents. 1t will be for
many the opportunity of life time.
We shall make further notice of the
lecture in these columns.

Hand Badly Aurt.

Saturday morning Haley team
stcr 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 we're
cut off nor were they mutilated
enough to call for amputation. Each
Of the fingers was badly hui 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. d.. DO
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.

GONE TO PARKERsBURG.
Warren H0skins will Investigate his
Br0therss Death--Takes no
Stock in the Suicide
Sforv

Sunday morning Warren Hoskins
lett for Parkersburg where he goes
to investigate the death of his broth
Ell Jerry which occurred there some
three weeks 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 abo II
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
ed with interest.

NARROW ESCAPE.
A stone comes through the Roof Pene.
trates the attic Floor and stops on .
Joist just over Bed In which Walter
Warner Is Asleep.


Monday afternoon blast was put
off in the stone quarry on Wiles
land on Sunnysidc and one of the
stone blown cut by the force of the
explosion came very near doing
some very serious damage. The
stone which was large one was
blown fully one hundred and fifty
yards and struck ON the roof of Geo.
Barbe's house. The tin roof was
penetrated and that did not stop
the progress of the mass. 1t went
through the tin and the sheeting,
next through the attic roof and
stopped partly on a joist. One end
of the stone was broken off by the
force with which st hit the joist and
flew clear across the garnet. A mass
of plastering was knocked of by the
rock and it fell on bed in the room
below.
Walter Warner had been asleep on
the bed but was suddenly awakened
by the blast and had jumped up.
Hardly had he arisen when the stone
came down on the roof making q
terrible racket. The plastering fell
all over the bed right where he had
been lying However the damage
was not very great in spite Of the
penetration of the stone. Such blasts
should not be set off so close to the
peoples houses. This accident
should teach the quarrymen to be
more careful.

NEW CITY FATHERS
Have Their First Meeting Monday
Night.


meeting last night and they went at
the business before them I'M way
which showed that they intended to
give the town the best administra-
tion it ever had. All the members
were present and ready for business.
The first thing that engaged their
attention was the election of the var
ious officers for the next year These
were partly elected and part of them
were laid over until the council
could find ont more ard act in a
more intelligent manner when they
acted. The police force was taken
UP but action was deferred until the
next meeting Of the council. A com
inittee of three consisting Of the
Mayor and Councilmen Moreland
and Hennen Is to Investigate ard re-
port to council at the next meeting
as to what action should be taken in
this matter. The intention seems
to be to divide the tours so that each
policeman can have part of his tour
in daylight. Sergeant Bennett has
refused to accept reelection if be
has to go on any at night as he says
he cannot stand the night duty. This
will remove him from the list of pos
sible appointees.
S. III. Morris was reappointed
weighmaster on the same terms as
last year. That is on a commission
of fifty per cent.
w. W. Hayes was reelected treas
urer and his salary fixed at fifty dol
lars with a bond of three thousand
and the proviso that if there should
be a bond issue the bond would be
made higher.
Fuller Glasscock was elected as
solicitor ovs- Frank Cox on the sec
ond ballot, the first having been a
tie. The Mayor was excused from
voting The salary Of the solicitor
was not fixed.
Councilman Hennen was chosen
as overseer of the poor.
Dr. j. P. Fitch was reelected
town physician at the same salary
as last year, $780,
The matter OF the fire company
was then taken up. This is com
posed of chief marshall with two
assistants and two mellbers of the
council. Owing to lack of informa-
ton about the matter it was deferred
until the next meeting. Before this
was done Councilman Shisler stated
that he had been asked to present
the names of j r. Miller, for mar
shall and Chas Klaproth and l.. w.
Joseph for his assistants.
Joseph Weaver was elected as tax
collector and his per cent for the col
lection of the same was fixoa at 2qe.
The Mayor was directed To have
the solicitor draw up an ordinance
on the subject Of special policemen
empowering some one to appoint
them for service at the Opera House
during shows, said service to be paid
for by the management of the house.
Until that could be done the Mayor
was empowered by the council to do
this.

But Llttle HOre VOrk Will De zone on

The cold weather has caused the
work on the locks and dams to be sus-
pended until spring opens. The quar-
ny on the west side has been opened

done before the government secured
the title to the land by an agreement
with the present owners that in case
the land was not taken by Uncle Sam
the contractor was to pay for any
damage done by the opening of the
quarry. The court viii pass Gu the
matter at the coming session. One
Of the heirs OF the estate is not of age

delay and the rest Of the preliminaries
will be gone through with at once.
A few men will be kept at work

SOAP AS APPLIED TO THE OCEAN

The North German Lloyd steamship
Gera, which recently arrived in New
Yok from Bremen, ran into tempest
in mid-ocean on January Z, and shipped
the crest of many combers. Her COM
mander decided to try the efficacy Of
soft soap and oil on the waters. 1t is,
of course, usual for storm-tossed yes
sells to use oil in the quieting of trou-
bled waters, but the combination Of
soft and oil is rare. It was run from
the closet pipes on the weather side,
about 66 feet abaft of the beam. Eight
gallons of soft soap and four gallons
of thick Iubricating oil were used. The
soft soap was dropped through one
pipe and the oil through another near
by. A heavy lather appeared on the sea,
and the crests ceased breaking aboard.
The storm moderated next day, and the
Gera was able to make her usual win
ter weather speed the rest of the trip
