PECULIAR WORDING.
Law in Regard to Several University
Officers Badly Mixed.

In the act intended to authorize
the board of regents of the University
to pay a salary to its treasurer, the
following provision is found:
.'They shall appoint superinten-
dent of buildings and grounds, sec
rotary for the faculty and a secretary
for said board, and also treasurer,
who shall be members of the faculty
of the University, and the person SO
appointed shall receive such compen-
sation as the board may determine,
not, however, TO exceed three hundred
dollars.
1t appears from this that the per-
son appointed superintendent of build
ings and grounds thereby becomes a
member of the faculty, and just which
of the appointees is designated as
''the person" who may receive the
salary, is question clouded~in much
obscurity.
The board has designated the treas
urer as the man and has fixed his sal
AIRY at $500. This was done at the
last meeting.

A transaction has been closed in
Philadelphia involving the purchase
of 5000 acres of fine coal land in Bar
bour county, w. Va, the net price of

The land is located near Philippi,
on the Tygart's Valley river, and it is
understood to contain large deposits
of the best coal for all purposes to be
found in West Virginia or elsewhere.
The purchase means the opening
up of the vast veins of coal and active
operations at an early day, with an
expediture of large sums of money
annually.
The company making the purchase

Teter and James E. Hall, of Philippi;

Kerr, of Pittsburg; Albert Thompson,
of Davis, w. Va; W. w. Patterson,
of Philadelphia and others. The
coal is already partially developed.
1t is understood that capitalists
from both the east and west are in
speeding coal territory in the same
section, with the prospect of large ad-
ditonal expenditures, in which event
four distinct fields will be contribute
ing TO the consumers market.

by it-Others Note of the Meeting.
The central eonvocation OF West
Virginia which has been in session
here for two days has closed its la

Dir. Lazier was born January Goth
1881, and was consequently in the
sixty ninth year OF his age. He
was horn. reared and lived in Nor
gantown, and was widely known as
physician and druggist. He was
educated in the old Monongalia
Academy and Jefferson Medical Col
lege, OF Philadelphia graduating
from the Medical College in 1853.
He practiced his profession from the
time of his graduation until the
breaking ous Of the Civil War, when
be raised Company f, Seventh West
Virginia Infantry. Of which eompa-
ny he was made captain. While
commanding wing of his regiment
at the battle Of Antietam he was
shot through the leg, inHicting an
ugly wound. He was so severely
wounded that he had to be carried
from the field and the deep scars
were on his body to the day of his
death. He resigned his captaiacy
in February 1868, but was shortly
afterward commissioned an Assist
ant Surgeon, in which capacity he
served until the close of the war.
At the close of the war he returned
to Morgantown and then began his
career as druggist and pharmacist
in which he was eminently success
full for many years, and from which
business he retired about two years
ago on account of failing health
During the long period that he was
engaged in the drug business DIR.
Lazier took high rank He was
careful, skillful and in every re-
spect a competent druggist. His
large clientage had the utmost con
fidence in his integrity and business
ability.
In business circles he was regard
ed as honorable and upright. He
was a man Of kind heart and gener-
Gus disposition and was exception
ally kind to the poor and needy, and
was greatly beloved by wide cir
Gle of friends.
In 1897, Dr. Lazier married Mary
Agnes Moreland who preceded him
to the grave about three years. Mrs.
Lazier was a most estimable lady
and their home was for many years
one of the brightest ia Morgantown.
Two children survive. DR.. A. Nj
Lazier who succeeded his father fol
short time in the drug business
and Henry b. Jr. who is unmarried
and was living with his father at
the time of his death.

BY LAND And WATER.
Morgantown has Chance to
Get Many new Ways of
Exit.
A go-Pe0ple Wanted to get Off the
Right Of Way-This is Taken to
Mean that Construction is Going TO
Begin Soon-New Activity on River
Other Boat Lines to be started.

Talk about the railroad on the west
side has not been going on much late
ay but just now it is being agitated as
much as it ever was. 1t begins to
look much more certain that the road
will be built on through from Browns
vile to the south the coming sum-
mer. Every one hopes that the infer
ence is true one and will be glad to
see the dirt begin to move.
It is reported that the people who
are living on the right of way have
been notified to get out of the way.
This looks like the company expected
10 use the ground at once or they
would be in no hurry to make the for
mer owners get off.
Along the same line it is stated
that the road will not come direct to
Morgantown but will go up Dents
Run from Granville giving US the cold
shoulder and spur track up here
This may or may not be true. The
importance of the town would GER
tainly seem to be so great that the
road cannot afford to do this but even
if they did we would be all right in
great measure. However it will be
much more agreeable to have them
come right up on the West Side.
At any rate it is now certain that
there is some thing very important in
the wind and before long we may
learn what is to be done. The road
is certainly going to be built. 1t is
now only a matter of time and that
may not be very far off.
With the increasing prospects Of
transportation by land we are likely
to get better facilities by water. Not
only are we going to have slack water
navigation from here to Fairmont but
we are to have more boats enter the
down river trade.
The old line is going to put on an
other boat and new line is going to
compete with them for the share of
the trade that is coming to them.
This company and its hackers are
amply able to carry out the plans that
they have. They will enter the trade
to stay.
The HudSonS may come back this
summer but that is hardly likely.
They did not do SO we'll last season
and are in no condition to buck the
older company. Rivermen say that
the boating has never been as active
as it is now and that the indications
for very great increase in the bust
ness are very good indeed.
