THE UNION MEETING.
All Churches Interested-An Open
Letter to The People of The State.

The impression seems to be general
that the services which are to be held
in Chapel Hall next week are under the
entire control OF the Y. M. G. A. of
the University and number of an
nouncements to that effect have been
made. This is a mistaken idea. They
are under not only the Y. M. G. A. IS
direction but the churches of the
town are also interested and they each
have two members on the committee
in charge. The committee has issued
the following which is being published
in all the state papers.
To the Christian People of the State
of West Virginia:-A series Of union
evangelistic services will be held in
Chapel Hall of the West Virginia Uni.
versity, commencing on the 18th day
of February. These meetings will be
under the auspices of the Y M. G. A.
of the University and the churches of
Morgantown. Evangelist James E..
Schoolfeld, of Danvilie, Va, has been
secured to conduct these meetings, and
Prof. Ellenberger, director Of the
school of music, assisted by the Young
Peoples Choral Union, will have
charge of the music. All Christian
people in the State are requested to
pray for the success of these meetings,
and parents whose children are here
as students, are invited to send per-
sonal requests for prayer in behalf of
their sons and daughters.

A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
Delegate John w. Davis offers Bill
for an Election to Pass upon it.

Delegate John w. Davis, OF Harri-
son county. has introduced bill
which is OF considerable Importance
to the people of the State. 1t pro-
vides that an election be held on the
fourth Tuesday in May next to take
the sense of the people as to holding
a constitutional convention. If fav-
orable, another election is to be held
on the Tuesday after the first Monday
in November to elect flfty-one dele
gates TO the convention, twelve from
the State at large and three from
each Senatorial district.
The convention Is to be held In the
State capitol, beginning on the third
Wednesday in December next, and
the new constitution Is to be submit
ted later TO the voters of the State for
their appreciation or rejection. This
is a question that has been voted on
several years, and if the measure does
not pass at this session there is little
doubt that convention will be called
before many years pass.

UNWORTHY OFFICERS.
Captains of West Virginia Regiments
who have been derelict.

Captain Payne, of the First Regi-
ment is said to be under arrest for
conduct unbecoming an officer. 1t
is alleged that captain of the First
Regiment is guilty of having appro-
priated 5000 of the company fund.
This fund is formed from the pro-
ceeds of the canteen and is used by
the soldiers of the company to buy
many of the delicacies that are not
included in the regular army ration.
The fund is entrusted to the cap
tain, and he has sole charge OF the
money, and if he is dishonesty dis
posed, can appropriate some of the
money without direct evidence being
brought against him.

Result Of an Old Feud.

HAMLIN, w. Va, Feb. 1.-The
home of James Skeens. on Guyan-
dotte river, was attacked last night
by four masked and armed men.
Black Skeene was killed, james
Skeene was mortally wounded and
his wife and babe and Ambrose
Spurlock were seriously wounded.
Arrests will follow and further
troubles feared before a preliminary
trial is held. The murderous TRACE
dy is the result of an old feud in

MILES RIGHT.

AS usual me Generat Is on me Right
Side Of The Fence-Eagan Will be
Dishonorably Dismissed From The
Army.
When theEagan controversy began we
thought that Miles was right and the
rest wrong and the events Of past few
days seem to justify that view. It
is said that Eagan will be dismissed
from the service and that the charge
brought by Miles will be sustained in
every particular. 1t has often proven
that Miles is all right and when he
says thing is true it is a good thing
TO bank On it.
The findings of the court Of inquiry
will be worm wood and gall for many
officers and that chances are that
many a guilty one will escape besides
those who are caught in their devil
ment. 1t was at first thought that
the commission would white wash as
many as possible but even If it does
enough will be caught up to prove a
very wholesome lesson to those who
are left out.
The whole trouble seems to lie in
the appointment Of political pets who
were untitled for the positions they
were ambitious of occupying.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Hon. John
I. McGraw, of West Virginia, is
here to prosecute his contest for the
seat in the Senate to which Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue Scott was
recently elected. McGraw's claim
is based on the fact that the Legis-

lot has 81 votes and that Mr.. Scott
only received AS one member being
absent and one not voting. McGraw
does not claim the seat, simply urg-
ing the invalidity Of Scott's action.
