The Germania Retired.

The old packet Germania, after
twenty years of hard and almost un-
ceasing work, has permanently re-
tired. She made her last trip last
week, and was left at the lower end
of her wharf, where she will proba-
bly, soon be dismantled. Her bell
and whistle which are as good as
new, will, it is said, be used on the
/. G.. Woodward. The Germania
was launched in January, 1878.

A HEAVY STORM.
Morgantown Escapes the Fury
of the Wind However.

The Country on both Sides of here gets
the Force of the Blow-Trees and
Fences are blown down and Houses
are Unr00fed-NarrOw escape from n
Railroad accident-The boat forced
to stop its rrip-SeveraI People were
Killed in nearby PENNSYLVANIA towns.
The Damage done is very great.
Saturday afternoon Morgantown
and the country right around it
escaped a very violent wind storm
that did considerable amount of
damage close here and for hundred
miles on either side. What caused
the storm to divide and give this
place the go by is not known but
those of us who are here are glad
enough to know that it did so
The storm came about three thir-
ty. Here we lad heavy rain but
little wind At one time it looked
like we were in for a bad storm but
it soon passed without doing any
damage to speak OF. The country
above and below us was not so for
tunate however.
The afternoon train was delayed
by the storm. A tree wac blown
down and fell across the track. This
was struck by the engine before the
engineer could stop the machine but
no damage was done and not many
of the passengers knew that any
thing out of the ordinary had hap
pened. The damage done in other
ways by the wind was great. Many
trees were blown down and fences
destroyed in every direction.
Below here it was even worse.
The boat which was to have taken
crowd to the festival at Point Mar
ion had started for Morgantown when
it encountered the storm. 1t was
forced to tie up and at last to return
to the Point. At one de it was
thought that it would be wrecked
by the wind
The festival was a failure on ac-
count of the disturbance in the at
mosphere. The roads in every di-
rection leading to the Point were
closed by trees having fallen in them
and the crowd was prevented from
going.
At Dubois the roof was blown off
the glass factory and it was burned
down. In Pittsburg number of
houses were unroofed and one man
was killed by a flying roof having
struck him. The damage was very
great all over the city. At another
town the audience under Forepaugh
and Sells tent was badly injured by
the tent collapsing and three people
were killed. This will show what
fortunate escape this town made
from the fury of the tornado which
visited the country on all sides of it.

Col. C. L. Skinner returned from
CambridgeDoro, Pa, last Sunday,
feeling better and looking better.
Capt. /. E. Arnett, of Monongalia,
was shaking hands with his many
friends here on Wednesday. He said
the people of his section are all for
Mr.. Sturgiss for Congress, and that
Monongalia will send big delega-
ton to Keyser in his interest.
Dwight Miller, who enlisted in
Prof. Standiford's company, was in
formed on Wednesday by Col. Cas-
teel that he had been appointed chief
trumpeter Of the Second regiment.
Dwight served as Cadet at the I'm
iversity for three years and held of
fetal positions.
The word comes from Morgantown
that the Monongalia County Court
has purchased and made free the
suspension bridge at that place. The
price paid for it was $4,000 The
Hon. George C. Sturgiss was the
principal stakeholder. The people
of Morgantown are to be congratu-
lated. They will soon find out that
the free bridge will be great bene-
fit to the modern Athens.
John L. Jones, Esq, was vel
come caller at our office Tuesday. He
came up from Monongalia last Sat-
urday. He has been staying with
his son Clark, at Cassville, for some
time. He will soon return to Mar
ion to remain with US permanently.
Clark will do likewise, having made
his arrangements to leave Mononga-
liza on the first of next April.

JULY FIRST.
Work will begin on the dam
across the River for keeps.

1t will be pushed night and Day until
1t is Completed The delays up to date
have done no harm and have all been
Expected on account of the Freshets.
The Contractor is Hustler and he
will make every edge cut to get done
on Scheduled time-That he will do
so no one i'm Position to know
Doubts-an experiment in lock and
Dam Building which will be watched
with interest.
c. r. Mccoy, one of the members
of the graduating class OF this year
at the University is employed on
the locks and dams being built on
the river under Col Golay. He was
asked how the work was proceeding
on the lock at No. 10 across the riv-
er and he stated that everything was
going on as well as could be expect
ed and that the contractor had
things in the shape that he had in
tended to have them at this time.
The arrangements will be com
lpleted for putting in the concrete by
the 1st of July and when that is
started the work will go on night
and day as fast as it can be done.
There will be no delay after. they
once get down to work in earnest.
The contractor is not the kind of
man who will lose any time and he
has everything fixed for hustle
that can be gotten in that shape
The delays that have been exper
fenced have all come from the fresh
cts which of course were expected
but they have not been as bad as
anticipated. The machinery is all
here and the material that is to be
used in the lock is on the ground or
is fast being placed and there will be
no delay on that score after the work
is once started.
The engineers have no idea but
that the work on the locks and dams
will be done on the contract time Of
| four years. They are satisfied from
what they have seen of the work that
has been done and of the contractor
that he will do everything that he
agrees to do.
| This lock will be entirely different
! from anything on the river hereto
| fore built and will be of crushed
stone and cement. This is said to
| be better way of building them
than the old way of soldid masonry.
1t is much quicker and also much
cheaper. The cost can be more
than cut in two by this plan. The
result will be watched with interest
The claim is made that the dam will
be stronger and will last longer than
/ those built under the old way. Riv
ermen everywhere are interested and
/ will watch the progress OF events
closely.

THE WAR PROGRESS.
A Few of the Things that have
been done in the last
twenty-four hours.

Fifteen regiments of the
troops at Chickamauga have
been ordered to get ready to
move.
Among themis the West Vir-
ginia regiment. They will go
to Skaters relief.
Camera squadron has ar
rived at Port Said at the en-
trance to the Suez canal and
is coaling there. 1t is now
one-fourth of the way to Ma
Mia.
The third expedition for
the relief of Dewey is on ship
board and will start some
time to-day.
In a collision IN Mississippi
four Wyoming Rough Riders
were killed yesterday.
Washington officials doubt
that Camaras squadron is
bound for Manila, the report
that it is at Port Said to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
The Spanish and American
armies at Santiago are SO
close together that the pick
cts could hail each other. A
decisive battle is expected in
"a day or So. The Spaniards
are busy fortifying the town
and are desperate. The
Americans are confident of
victory.
The report that Fighting
Bob Evans had been killed by
a shell from the Vizcaya is
denounced as a cruel falseh God
by the navy department.
1t has developed that
Roosevelt and his Rough
Riders were drawn into a
complete ambuscade on Fri
day and only the most gal
liant conduct on their part
prevented their humiliation.

The BRICK WORKS.
w ork begun in Earnest on the
New Site.

Col. Gilmore is doing the Grading and
T. II. Williams also has n force at
Work--The plant will Extend along
Beechnrst for five hundred feet All
Kinds of brick will be made and pot
terry Of all kinds will follow 20 men
will be put In IL to start on and the
Force increased as time goes on The
Cost of the Plant to be about Twenty
two thousand-It Will be In full blast
BY the tenth of August.
Work has begun in earnest on the
new brick works in the lower end of
Seneca. 1t is located just below the
Seneca Glass plant on the same side
of the railroad Two forces are at
work. One of these is under Col.
Gilmore who is grading off the site
of the plants with several teams.
The other is L. b. Williams who is
making place for one OF the build
ings and is opening track to the
shale beds from which the material
for the brick &c be drawn.
The work was begun on Monday
morning and they are in hopes if not
prevented BY bad weather Of having
the grading done by the last Of this
week or the first of next week.
The place which will be taken by
the plant and the various kilns will
be quite large 1t will be about 500
feet long and will be OF various
widths. The plants to cost between
$21 900 and 500, 900 when completed.
Parts Of it will be of brick and part
of frame. Stevenson IL Co, ofWells-
vile, Ohio, have the contract for the
plant and that for the building has
been given to Huston Il Domain
They have ordered the lumber to
be used and they will go to work
just as soon as it arrives.
The plant will be in running or
der by the tenth of August. This
is a good omen of the way in which
the new company means to do bust
ness. They are hustlers from the
word go and will make desirable
addition to the industries of the
town.
Allkinds of brick will be made by
the company and they will event
ually go into the manufacture of til
ing and other kinds of pottery. The
number Of men to be employed of
course will not be SO large at first
but the men who are behind the
scheme say that they hope within
few years to have 200 men employ
ed. They will start with about 20
men and will increase the force as
the trade grows.
Part Of the material to be used
will be taken from this side of the
river and the deficiency will be made
up from the west side where they
own farm Of 70 acres which is I'M
derlaid by great deal Of the very
best Of clay. The hillside below the
plant is composed almost entirely
Of material which is of the very kind
that is needed and the deposits are
inexhaustible. Every thing is com
bined to make the plant perma-
nent and the town has great deal
in store for it through the means of
this plant.

acquiescence in the candidacy OF Mr..
Phillips. His personal popularity and
control OF the influence which dominates
primaries and conventions enabled him
to secure q delegation which. if chosen
by popular vote, would have been given
to Van Cise by a two-shirds ballot.
Van Cise is, moreover, the choice Of
the people, while Kirk Phillips is the
favorite Of the politicians. Phillips is
identified with the Kittridge dynasty
now SO loudly menacsd throughout the
state. Van Cise belongs to no ring or
clique, and is, moreover, the leader from
the Hills, best known and most gener-
ally recognized to possess ability, force
and character SO desirable in q con-
gressional representative. Since the
Lawrence county convention the friends
OF MIR. Van Use 10 other counties have
declared that they would not accept the
verdict. Every mail brings letters to
him, it is said, assuring him the con
tinued support of friends 10 the eastern

repairs and then taking her to Havana
where it will be possible to patch her
up sufficiently for her longer voyage
north. He thinks the vessel can be so
repaired as to make her available, a

1t was publicly stated at the time the

1t was publicly stated At the time the
delegates were elected at the primaries
In Lawrence county that Edwin Van
Clse had a safe majority OF the delegates
to the county convention aud would
have the county delegation to the state
convention IN his aspirations for a seat
IN congress. But when the county con-
v~ention net the machine had got in it's
work, Phillips and Kittredge it was
alleged changed the majority as much
to Mr.. Phillips as it before had been for
Mr.. Van else and since then republican
papers have made the claim that the
Hills was all fer Mr.. Phillips for
governor and had been all the time.
What change has come over the spirit
OF their dreams is not accounted for, but
conscience appears to be breaking loose
somewhere when such q narrow, parti-
san, boss-ridden newspaper as the Sioux
City Journal allows the publication for
the first time, OF such news as the fol-
lowing from the Black Hills:
Immediately after the convention IN

Edwin Van Cise, the choice Of the Hills
for n Of the congressional chairs, was
out OF the race. Van Else and
Phillips, both residents OF Dendwood,
hao 'tried strength for the Lawrence
county delegation with Phillips carrying
that body on a test vote by 70 to 81. But
