AMUSEMENTS.
-HOYT's LATEsT COMEDY TO-NIGHT

HOYT'S LATEST COMEDY TONIGHT
Charles Hoyts new comedy. "A Day
and a Night" will be presented at the
Grand Opera House tonight under the
personal direction Of the author, who
will be in the city with the company.
Mr.. HOyt's annual productions are al
ways looked forward to with interest,
and his offering for 1898 is sure to
meet with a cordial reception. There
is probably not another playwright in
America who has the firm hold on the
public's good will held by Mr. HOyt.
This state of affairs may be accounted
for in many ways. He is unquestion-
ably a man of genius, fertile in ideas
and a keen observer of human nature
He takes life as he finds it, and at all
times look at the bright side Of every
daily happening. In addition he never
breaks faith with the public. In every
comedy he gives to the work his best
efforts. He stages his own plays and
there is not a detail in theiR.prOper
presentation that he overb0Rs. In
adequately staging and costuming his
productions, the question of expense is
not considered. The best comedians,
the best singers, the best dancers. are
the people he engages to fill out the
cast. He is continually on the out
look for novelties and his originality
will not permit him to work in q
beaten path. His latest musical farce
he refers to as the report of the doings
of a gentleman from Now Jersey dur
ing day and a night in New York
This individual starts out to engage a
choir and winds up by having about all
the pleasurable excitement possible tC
crowd into so brief a period of time
What Mr.. Hoyt styles "the, mu sica
menu" has been prepared by Messrs
Richard Stahl, Stafford Water and A
3. Sloane; while the lyrics" are by
Hoyt and others Prominent in th'
principal roles are Otis Harlan, villa
| Knox. William Devere, Nellie O'Neil

A Narrow Escape.

Tuesday afternoon as pedestrian
was walking down Walnut street
there was sound of breaking glass.
Spectators looked up and saw a
heavy water pitcher which had evil
IDENTIFY come through window and
lot of broken glass falling through
the air toward the man on the street
He heard the crash and instinctively
jumped The action undoubtedly
saved his life. Some of the fragments
struck his coat and the pitcher
broke into thousand pieces on the
pavement. Had it hit him in the
head he would have never known
what hurt him. How the pitcher
came to be flying through the air is
mystery which no one seems to be
able to solve. The name of the man
who had such a narrow escape could
not be learned.

there is a means of defence from

this celebrated medicine in disease

ONE CENT
Latest. and Worst.

A young Lawrence doctor took his
best girl to the opera not long since.
The curtain was late in rising, and
the young lady complained of feeling
faint The doctor smiled sweetly up
on her, took something out Of his
vest pocket and whispered to her to
keep "the tablet in her mouth, but
not TO swallow it. She shyly placed
it on her tongue, and rolled it over
and over, but it would not dissolve;
she felt better, however So when
the show was over She slipped the
tablet in her glove, being quite cur
ious TO examine at home this tasteless
indissoluble, little substance which
had given her such relief in the opera
house When alone in her room she
pulled off her glove and out came
a-pants button. Boston Record.

THREE MORGANTOWN MEN
Strike it rich--C. r. Hayes, s. MeGara
and Clark Pickenpaugh get 500
barrel Well.

A good many people have been
watching the ventures of these three
men in the Henderson, oil field, in
Wood county, with much interest
and their friends will be greatly
pleased to learn that on Monday one
of their wells came in gusher. 1t
is not yet under control so that it's
exact product can be toM but Stand
ard Oil men who are on the ground
estimate it at 500 barrels per dav.
The flow was so strong that great
amount of oil went to waste. If
when connections are made it keeps
up to the estimates of the experts it
will make the smallest stakeholder
about $1,000 per month. The gen
tlemen are very quiet over their
good fortune and are not inclined to
talk much but the above statement
was gotten from one who knows. We
are pleased to learn of this as are
also many other people. The gen
tlemen are all known as good fell
lows and their good fortune will be
enjoyed by their neighbors.

M'CORKLE IL FOR WAR.

Eager to Shoulder Gun.

PARKERsBURG, w. Va, Mar. l.
Elk Governor MacCorkle, of West
Virginia, this morning granted an
interview to correspondent while
awaiting a train for New York. He
said:
ut has been demonstrated to my
complete satisfaction that the disas-
ter to the Maine was not the result
of an accident, and / am for war,
though | very much fear that such
will not be the effect | spend two
months of my time each year in
New York City, where | am brought
in contact in business way with a
syndicate of men whose wealth ag-
gregates over $130,000,000 and l
know positively that not only they,
but also a majority Of their wealthy
friends, are against war and in favor
of the indemnity proposition.
II believe there should be no mon
ey or apologies accepted from Spain,
the time for such things having
passed. If war to maintain our ma
TONS honor is declared | will be one
of the first to tender my services.
During my last trip East | had a
long interview with a naval officer
whose life has been spent in the
service, and he positively assured
me the catastrophe was not acct

Waste and want.

Gov Atkinson, Of West Virginia,
in late oracular after dinner speech
declared that 1.-THE inexhaustible for
ests Of timber in his State could
furnish boards enough to fence the
universe" We used to talk that way
in Pennsylvania in our salad days,
when we were green in judgment;
but we know better now With our
barren uplands, our dried up streams,
and bleak and blackened mountain
sides, we are continuing how we may
repair the senseless and wasteful
devastation of the past.

WEST YIRGINIANS.
Who Lost Their Lives In The
Maine Disaster.
One Had A Sister who Livs Now in
Wheeling, another Left Brother
at Logan and the Mother of the
Third Lives Near Romney.
Charleston Gazette.
Charleston Gazette

Three West Nirginians are among
the list of those killed ia the disas-
ter TO the Maine. Mr. Garnet, whose
brother lives in Hinton, and who was
at first reported to have been among
the dead, has turned up in New York.
He had been on the Maine, but had
left it and secured employment in
New York.
George Lapierre, one OF the dead,
had a sister, Miss Blanche Lapierre,
who is now resident OF Wheeling.
William Lee, brother of Mike Lee,
of Logan c. H., was one Of the sail
ors on the illfated vessel, and his
name is among the killed. The last
letter Mike received from his brother
was written from Attlebore Mas
sachusetts, in which he says he was
going to enlist in the navy. and that
in all human probability Mike would
never see him again.
The third West Virginian killed
was Frank Sutton, a colored seaman,
whose mother lived near Romney.
Sutton formerly worked in the tan
merry there, and entered the navy sew
eral years ago. His wife Mary Ann,
who lived at Mt. Savage, has applied
for a government pension. She came
from Elk Garllen, West Virginia, and
they were married at Westernport,
Md, in 1887.
Sutton occasionally sent his mother
money, and in the last letter she re-
ceived from him, dated Key West.
he requested that she omit the word
"coloredn from the envelope in writ
ing to him. As he was very fair,
with straight black hair and quite
good looking, it is thought from this
request that he was passing as a
white man.

town, as of the first day of February, 1898.
This report begins with the orders issued
In 1898, and extends to Feb. l, 1898.
All orders issued have been tahnlated from
the stubs OF the several order books, with the
date of allowance and issss, the number of
the order, the payee and the amount The
year in which the orders were severally paid
has been indicated with the check mark,
showing payment and was obtained FROM
the Treasurers vouchers This list is here
with returned as the basis of this report.
The amoupt given as in the hands Of the
Treasurer, Feb. |, 1898, was obtained from
the Treasurer, Ir. w w. Hayes. The out.
standing bills aud accounts we're furnished by
the Recorder, Mr. VIM f. Arnett. The

Collector, MIR Weaver, as also the estimated
amount of doubtful taxes The credits on
outstanding orders as shown By the settle
ment of the Treasurer, Ian 81, 1898, was fur
nished by the Recorder, Mr. Arnett.
The interest on outstanding orders is my
own estimate, based upon the list showing
when the orders were issued BY inspection
it will be seen that at least two thirds of
these orders were issued after September ! :.
1897. Ny allowance of sos for interest is,
therefore, liberal one. and within the facts
Bonds Nos. Z, s, 8, 10, IL, Of the first
series, which have been redeemed, are filed
with the Treasurer's vouchers Bonds Nos
2, 3, 4 {, 6, are presumably paid, as no in
terest coupons for these bonds appear in re-
cent settlements, but the bonds themselves
are not among the vouchers.
From the statement Immediately follow.
ing 1t will be seen that the floating indebt-
edness of the town, after allowing all re
sources to offset the same, is $6S67 81 and
the amount due the sinking fund for interest
and for the purchase Of bonds, is 81. 194 90,
making the total net liabilities of the town,
as of Feb. l. 1898, the sum Of S8061.s2.
When the requirements Of the sinking

TWO IRON PIECES TAKEN.
The University. rihed Cannon
go to Berkeley Springs.

They are not needed here and are real
in the Way Battery down there needs
them and can learn with them as well
as with any Others-Guns will soon
be shipped--Captain White will have
Charge Of the RemOyal--They will
not be used in the Coming war all
the reports to the Contrary not with
standing.
After a survey of the ground and
a consultation with the University
authorities Assistant Adjutant Gen
eral Casteel has decided that the two
iron cannon at the University will
be taken to Berkeley Springs for the
use of the new battery which has re.
Gently been organized there How
ever they will not get six guns as a
telegram from there states.
The two iron pieces are not in use
at the University except in rare
cases as they are not in condition to
fire even salutes from and they are
really in the way. They do no good
whatever and the authorities are
rather glad to get rid Of them The
University has given bond for them
to the state. The statement which
was made by some of those who
spoke for the University that the
guns were obtained from the Ma
tionai government and that the
bond was given to it for them is
mistake. The guns were transferred
from the government to the state at
the close of the war and are not on
the records of the war department at
all
The cadets do not need the iron
pieces and they would also have let
the brass ones go too ii they had
been certain about the receipt of the
modern guns which have been
promised us. But there is no telling
when they will be here so it was de
cided to hold on to what they had
until the new ones are actually in
their possession. Then the Berkeley
battery may have the brass ones if
they want them.
The guns will be shipped to Berk-
ley as soon as arrangements for it
can be made. The officers of the
new battery will have to give bond
for the guns and the University will
have to be released from the bond
they have given. When these details
have been fixed the guns will be
shipped. Captain w. j. White will
have charge of this work. The guns
aside from their condition for war
are as good as any that can be got
ten. The carriages are in very good
shape and they are all right as far
as any use the new battery will have
for them. The men can learn to
handle the guns and learn the evo-
buttons as well as with better mater
ial They shortly expect to be the
finest battery in the country. We
hope that their expectations may be
realized
However it is certain that the can
non will not be used against Spain
no matter what may happen in the
way Of a war. The newspaper re
ports about the affair are very much
exaggerated and mostly without any
foundation at all
