Writer May Regain a Letter.

1t has been ruled by the post
office department at Washington
that the writer has the right to re
gain possession of letter providing
he can prove to the satisfaction of
the postmaster of the office from
which it was sent that he was the
writer of it. Even if a letter has
arrived at it's destination and before
it has been delivered to the person
to whom it was addressed it may be
recalled by telegram through the
mailing office. The reason assigned
is that the United States is only the
agent of the writer while the letter
is in transit. The decision is i'm
portant to business men and to pri-
vate individuals.

FLOUR MILL.
Turned Over aud Washed Away Big
Property Losses.

HUNTINGTON, W. Vo., March -
The Ohio river is now 52.6 feet here,
and rising. At Central City the water
is five feet deep in several of the lead
ing factories, and fierce gale, which
blew all last night, added to the de-
struction of property. Guyandotte
river has fallen, but very little. and
suffering at many places along that
stream is intense. Several hundred
families have been driven from their
homes. At Barboursyille, Oh Monday
the Merritt FIGURING Mill was forced
from its foundation, owing to heavy
drift, and the building was turned
over and washed away. A heavy
snowstorm prevailed here yesterday at
noon, and in six hours the mercury
dropped 20 degrees. The Ohio was
expected last night to go two feet
higher.

ture of the new army bill will be
killed.
WASHINGTON, March S-The army
OF the United States will remain at
90, 600 men. unless some unexpe cted
emergency should arise that will re-
quire enlargement Of this force. This
is the determination of the aiminis-
tration, and the War department will
not take advantage OF the provision
of law which authorizes the organiza-
ton Of 35, 600 volunteers in addition
to the IS, 600 men.
Chairman Hull, of the House Com
mittee on Military affairs, had long
talk with Secretary Alger this morn
ing. at the conclusion OF which he
said:
sYou may say that the President
will not organize d single volunteer
regiment, and that for the present, at
any rate, the army will consist of but
SIS, 600 men. Considerable enlisting
will have to be done to fill out the
regularregiments to their full strength
so that the recruiting officers will be
kept busy. Unless sudden exigency
should arise the law in regard to the
volunteer force of 35, 900 men will re-
main as dead letter. The army of
IS, 900 will be amply sufficient to meet
all requirements in the Philippines,
Cuba and Puerto Rico, and at the
same time permit the department to
maintain a DroDer force at each IF the
garrisons in the West"

NIGHT OF HORROR.

~~~~~- ->.-AS
Of Waters-The Losses on the Elk
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Disaster
In Kentucky-FaIling ut Cincinnati.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, March s.
The night was one Of discomfort and
actual suffering. The slow falling OF
the water, added to the lower temper
allure, made the situation gloomy
one. Many business men were COM
PEELED to use boats to seek provisions
and fuel. Even the Governor was
forced to use a boat to go from the
Executive Mansion to his office in the
State House. Much drunkenness and
disorder prevailed.
The loss to timbermen up Elk river
will be heavy. That river traverses
the heaviest logging district of the
State. Immense RATS were torn loose
and go raging down into the Kanawha,
sometimes doing heavy damage to
coal docks, barges and tipples. The
Winifrede coal docks are gone, with
several barges, and an extensive tipple
between East Bank and Celmont was
swept away.

Pertinent Paragraphs.

Every man should master the art
of concealing his ignorance.
1t is sometimes advisable to use a
telephone when you speak the truth.
All politicians are not dishonest.
Some are still in the amateur class.
Some poets are made by writing
magazine poems that nobody can
understand.

Greensburg's Centennial.

Greensburg the capital OF West
moreland county, Pa, is getting ready
to celebrate its cenntenial on the TWEEN
ty eighth of May and the affair is to be
an immense success. A large number
of people will go from even this dis

regiment at home in time for the
event but they will be disappointed in
Chis as the regiment will still be In

His Money Damages Allowed on
Front STREET.-THE will Not do the
Rest of the Work-Confract will Be
Let to Other Parties Salts OFF.
The council has compromised
with j. W Berry and he has with
drawn his suits against the town
for the money he claimed was due
him on the paving which he had
done. The suits the town had
against him or ready to bring will
not be taken up. The compromise
was reached at special meeting OF
the council.
First and the most satisfactory part
of the compromise is the fact that
Mr.. Berry will do no more paving
here. He has shown that he will
not do any job right and that he
will be a source of endless rows and
irritation One OF the propositions
given him looked toward his finishing
the paving. Every ole is glad that
he rejected it.
The council agreed to pay him
the thirty per cent retained on the
Main street job. This is to be after
he has fixed up all the sunken places
and has repaired all the places that
need it together with the completion
Of the work on the curbing He was
made to pay the cost of sanding the
upper end Of the street and will have
to stand other damages and deduc-
tons. These have been agreed upon
between the two parties.
Front street was then taken up
and he was allowed two hundred
dollars on the work done on this be-
fore he threw up the job and left it
for the council to finish. This was
less than he asked and the reduction
was owing to damages sustained by
the town and the work done in clean
ing it up and getting it in shape on
his account.
No fight was made to force him
to pay for the paving done which
cost very much more than the cou
tract price on the other streets.
This was paid for by the town.
Each side made something by the
different concessions but the main
advantage gained by the town IS
getting rid of the man who has
caused more trouble here than any
other man who ever entered the
town. The next contractor will be
investigated and he will be kept in
the straight and narrow path from
the time he gets on the ground I'M
til the job is done.

The school board did not meet on

of very great Importance to be trans
acted They will meet later il need

by the w. G. r. y. to be presented

tage of the opportunity.
In this they are backed by many
of the people who have given the
matter their consideration and some
thing toward this will likely be done
at the next meeting OF the board
when the matter will be taken up.
The petition is as follows:
To the Board of Education Of the
Morgantown School District:
The Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union of Morgantown, w Va,
respectfully represents that II ID In.
formed that by an Act of the Legis-
lature passed at the session lust
closed, Boards OF Education are ail-
thorized to establish kindergarten
instruction in connection with the
usual courses of instruction hereto
fore authorized by law, and the
members of this Union are profound
ly impressed with the wisdom and
Importance of creating such de-
partment of instruction as part of
the public Schools Of Morgantown
at the earliest date, and that condi-
tions existing IN this community
make it clear that sucn depart
ment would he largely attended
from the very beginning and would
give much needed instruction to
children too young TO appreciate tie
studies of the usual classes and yet
old enough to be greatly profited By
the Kindergarten method of instruc.
ton; Therefore the members of this
Union respectfully ask that You will
cause kindergarten schools or de-
partments of instruction to be es-
tablished and opened as part Of
the public school of the District I'M
der your control by the first Of
April, 1899, when the new public
school building will be opened for
use by the schools of the Morgan
