WEST VIRGINIA MATTERS.
Liberal Provision for Monongahel a
River improvements.

WASHINGTON, d. G., Mar. II One
thing West Virginians generally and
those of the Monongahela valley prac-
tically may I've congratulated upon,
is the liberal provision made in the
sundry civil bill for the Monongahela
river Improvement The bill went
through the house, with an item of
$500, 600 for immediate expenditure.
This means that, with another like
expenditure the next succeeding year,
the river will have built its locks and
dams now authorized within two
years from this date. No other river
improvement was mole literally pro-
vided for this year, than was the
Monongahela, and few as we'll.

WAR PROBABLE.
Lieutenant r. M. G. Brown is
Said to Have so Spoken

To Reporter at Fairmont ON his way
TO Washington he said so he said
more than he Did Here-War will
Come sooner or IAter-He is a Naval
Officer with Brilliant Record and II
he said so there is great weight to

tiopal Interview.
FAIRMoNf, w. VA, March o.
Lieutenant Commander r. NJ. G..
Brown, of the United States navy, was
in the city yesterday on his way To
Washington. There's something vast
ly significant in his going there at this
time. He has been at Morgantown
on sick leave for several months, and
from the length Of time Of his service
was given leave while there should
be peace. But now he goes TO Wash
ington, which in itself is an indica-
tion of the preparations being made
by the government. Lieut.. Brown
is West yirginian, and was COM
mander OF the Trenton in the historic
gale of Samoa when all the
ships in the harbor save the Tren-
ton were wrecked, and 1t was
through the exceptionally fine sea-
manship and quick Judgment he
displayed that all on board that ves-
sci were saved. For this he was pre-
scented with a memorial by the West
Virginia legislature.
In response to query he said:
'There is going to be war, sooner
or later and it may not be far OFF.
The spanish will keep on aggravating
this government until war will be
precipitated, and If rot the govern
ment will recognize the beligerent
rights of the Cubans, and that would
also bring on war. Unless there Is
more care and patience than is an
ticipated, war is certain to be declared
without the beligerent recognition |
mentioned. The government is now
greatly irritated, and while nothing
impulsive need be looked for, 1t win
take but little more for the declara-
tion of war to bs made. The national
guard of every state In the Union Is
getting into shape anticipating call
to arms. New regiments are being
added TO the army and the naval
forces are being increased. 1t all
looks like war and i think there will
be war;

Some time ago the school board al
their meeting refused to accept the
trust company bond offered by tbs
Smcad Wills company which has the
tontfact for putting in the heaters as
there were sofde OF the provisions in
the bond which the board did not
like. The probabilities are that the
board will have TO back down and
tgke the bond whether they like all
the provisions D. hot They agreed
when the contract was made 10 accept
such bond, and as the one offered
by the company is the same that is
always offered by similar company,
the commissioners have no recourse
However, The provisions cantfGt be
very vital any how, as there are nc
important matters involved in them.
Mr.. Lazzelle, president of the board,
was asked about the progress of df-
fairs by representative Of this paper
and he said THAT since the heater
people had given their plans to the
architect that he had the assurance
of the latter that his plans would
be finished ia a few days. He had to
change all the floor plans so he
claimed, and bad put all his office
force on them so that it would take
the shortest possible time, The plans
are not as yet forthcoming and some
of the citizens are again getting rest
less. This fine weather is going TO
waste and there is nothing being done
apparently.
Mr.. Williams had no opportunity
to express his views when we gave an
interview with the other members
about the subject, said that it was d
shame that the building was not now
under roof and that the time was
rapidly slipping away. First thing
we know we won't have time to get
ready for next school year. So all
theimemhers, with one, or possibly two
exceptions, talk. 1t certainly seems
queer that with men all Of the same
mind that when they come together
they can do nothing.
The matter should be investigated
and if there can be any negligence on
the part of the men who have had the
matter of preparing plans in charge,
they should be fired and others who
will do the work put in their places.
This is the sentiment of the town and
the citizens are getting very weary Of
the delay. Somebody had better
waken up and get move on.

Wehave no desire to be captious,
but, if the claim of the administra
ton that it has made public every
thing it received affecting Cuba since
the destruction of the Maine, be
true, why was it that the public did
not know until two days after the
administration and then the news
came from Madrid, that Spain had
asked for Gen. Lees recall?

No especial ceremony marked the

house and the club now meets there
instead of in the old building.
The new house is adapted in every
way to the comfort and convenience
of the members. The basement is

are constantly adding their names

FAIRMoNT, March 1.-The jury in
the case of Schmuck against the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad returned a
verdict awarding Schmack $500 dam
ages. The jury was not out great
while. They had the question OF
veracity to consider between Rev.
Barnes, who said he saw Schmuck CT
fer the ticket to Captain Carney, and
Captain Carney, who said no ticket
had been offered. Schmuck's own
testimony on this point did not seem
to have much bearing with the jury,
or at least that is the presumption
only, for by his own evidence he had
been drinking on the evening when
fired from the train at Bentons Ferry.
Two Of the jurors were in favor OF
granting the plaintiff damages in the
sum of $500, one was in favor Of Civ.
ing Ma damage at all, and the Others
thought that $500 would cover all
the damages that had been sustained,
and the others were finally brought tC
think the same way. The railroad
company will most likely appeal the
case.
