The street PAYERS have finished

They have been longer on this street
than any other that they have been

caused by number OF things. They

Wen are getting it ready for the
brick as fast as it can be done and
the street is closed from Long Alley
to spruce street. Several bitches
are being dug in the street between
Main and Long Alley for the accom-
mediation OF water and gas pipes.
Brick is being piled on Front
street and the curling has been put
down on it ready to be set. Some
Of it has been set but the greater
part OF it remains to be attended to-
This street will be paved to Bumbo
Lane and will he the next one at

the University line
The University people will take up
the paving at the line and take it
past the Experiment Station. 1t will
be made uniform with the paving
down town and the engineers at the
University will work with the engi-
neer of the town in establishing the
grade up the hill past Grants. The
grade will be made uniform and the
road in front OF Commencement Hall
will be cut down considerable to re-
lieve the effect of the building being
in hole as 1t at present appears TO
be on account of the terrace behind
it,
The contract for the paving will be
let pretty soon and will likely go to
Col. Gilmore. 1t will be at the same
| figures that the town is getting the
work done BY Sweeney aud Houston.
The same brick will be used and the
pavement VIII be of the same charac-
ter Of that which the town is having
laid.

This was covered by m order Of the
board passed bf them last night and
they further included in the order a
requirement that all applicants for
positions ia the schools here be re-
quired to take an examination under
the direction of the board Of examin-
ers Of the Morgantown School Dis
trict. This cuts out state certificates
and the holders of these will have to
take the examinations like the rest
of the teachers who are not so fortu-
nate.
This is thought to be desirable in
order to prevent the teaching force
from getting rusty in the branches
that they have to teach.
The levy was fixed for the next
year 1t will be thirty-six cents on
the teachers fund, twenty on building
fund and eighteen ON special levy COW

expenses. This levy makes a total
of seventy four cents and is eleven
cents higher than it was last year.

new TRUNK LINE.
Morgantown will soon have an
other Connection South.

Many and Manifest Advantages Of the
New Line-West Virginia Central to
Form the Connecting Link--ClOsor
Relations With the Central and
Southern Parts of the State.
Morgantown will share in the bene-
| fits of the new trunk line to the south
that is told about by the Pittsburg
Post The article speaking of the
new line is as follows:
IL obtaining direct control of the
West Virginia & Pittsburg railroad
the Baltimore & Ohio has laid the
| foundation for one of the greatest
trunk lines between the great lakes
and the South Atlantic coast. 1t
will require only short line on an
easy grade to connect the newly ac-
quired line with the Kanawha &
Michigan railroad and the Chesapeake
& Ohio, which would complete the
direct route from Chicago aud Cleve-
land to the Southeastern and South
Atlantic coast saving at least 200
miles between Cleveland and the chief
cities of Virginia, North and South
Carolina and Eastern Georgia and
Florida.
This connection will soon be estab-
lished, and it will place Pittsburg on
the shortest and most direct line north
and South, as it is now on the most
direct lines East and West. The re-
organized Baltimore & Ohio will have
sufficient money to put the West Vir-
ginia & Pittsbarg in first class shape,
and through service between Cleve-
land and the South via Pittsburg will
be established soon. After the miss
ing link has been supplied, Cleveland
and Pittsburg passengers bound for
Richmond, Raleigh, Atlanta, and
Jacksonville will not have to travel
800 miles west and $50 miles east be-
fore they start southwark.
This place will share with her neigh
Dor to the north in all of the benefits
of the new route and many more of
them will come to us. 1t will serve
to place every point in the state in
more direct communication with Nor
gantown and that is highly desirable.
The closer the University is brought
to the young people of the state the
more of them will come here to be ed
ucated.
Other advantages will be added to
those we already enjoy and the move
will result in nothing except to our
added prosperity. Everything is COM
ing our way and the old town can get
ready to prosper as she has never pros
pered before when all of the improv-
ments projected are realized.

CLARKsBURe, W. Va, July g.
This morning at 10 O'Clock before
Squire David, Vale Boughner's case
in the Young matter was called for
the preliminary hearing. 1t being
agreed that evidence taken before the
coroner could be read by the circuit
court in case an application was made
for bail, his examination was waived.
He was then remanded to jail, the
Justice refusing bail. The investiga-
tioD as to other parties involved is
still in progress.

REFUSED.
Paul Clifford Will have to Serve
His Time.

fardos Beard Refuses to Take up His
aPii;;5.stion For Pardon Irregu-
hrisy in Presenting -the Petition
~ Pardon Granted by the Board at
this Meeting.
The application for the pardon of
Paul Clifford has been turned down by
the pardon board before whom it was
brought. 1t is not announced what
their reason was but it is undoubtedly
on account OF the violation of the
provisions of the law in the submits
sion of the application.
Ii was not even considered on its
merits but thrown out on account OF
the technical point involved. The
law requires that there be given to the
prosecuting attorney of the county in
which the prisoner was convicted tea
days notice of the intention of apply
ing for a pardon so that he may be
able To make any needed remOnstrance
against the granting OF the petition.
This was not done in this case and
the officers of the court learned from
this paper that the application had
been made. 1t was not stated
through whom the prayer for pardon
was sent but it is thought that some
of the relatives of Clifford We're inter
esting themselves 10 his behalf.
Had they come TO the rescue when be
was being tried be might have Jared
better but they allowed him to go up
without an appeal.
No pardons were granted by the
board at its FIRST session and the ma
jorlty Of the papers turned down were
for the same reason that Clifford's fell
by the way side. They had not given
the prosecutors the proper notice.
The lawyers who have charge of the
attempts TO get the men out of the
pen will have to smoke up If they ex-
pect TO do any thing.
The action of the board in refusing
TO turn any OF the criminals out is a
very commendable one and they
should stick to the plan religiously.
AS general rule man Is never sent
up until he has exhausted every re-
source to get away and unless some
very strong evidence is produced to
show that the conviction was mis-
take he had better be left where he Is
and where the opportunity for mis-
chief is reduced to the minimum.
The meetings of the board will al
ways be held In Moundsyille the next
time they get together they will have
a harder time as the papers will then
likely be made up 10 proper shape and
the cases will have to be examined on
their merits.

FIRST REGIMENT.
One of the National Guard Reg
iments may Come.

General Curtain says That 1t may take
Part in the Chadwick Day Exercis-
es-f,e wants TO Know III 1t is TO be a
State Affair He may be Certin that
IL will be.
The following from the Parkers-
burg Sentinel will make very inter
esting reading to the people here:
Gen. G. W. Curtain, of Sutton,
comma nder of the state guard was in
the city Sunday on his way to Charles
ton TO arrange the details for the bat
TALON marches which were recently
ordered by the adjutant general J..
W. NJ. Appleton.
To the Sentinel he said that the
guard would be equipped in way
that it had never been before and that
the practice march of ten days will
prove OF far greater benefit than a
regular encampment.
If the people of Morgantown make
Chadwick day a state affair it is prob
able that the First regiment will mol
have battalion marches but will have
a reRimental encampment at Morgan
town at that time 50 that the regi-
ment can participate in the parade.
General Curtain and the Sentine
can rest assured that the affair will b.

SasSHrGIIAGO VETERAN.
A Member of the District yolun-
teers Here.

q. C.. Wisman Enters the University
The Services Of the Regiment 10 the
Santiago CampaigR-UBder Fire For
several Suffering Of tue Troops
Testimonial Presented Them.
G. G. Wisman OF Washington d G.
came in on Friday morning TO take
the summer quarter at the University.
He was member OF the 18th District
Of Columbia volunteers during she
late war and saw service in Cuba be-
fore Santiago. The regiment was
under fire for three days and lost a
number of men from the wounds re-
ceiyed at that time.
The impression had gotten out
among the Spaniards that the Ameri-
cans were armed with Krag-Jorgcnsens
and were using smokeless powder
when in reality they had only Spring.
fields and were using the old black
powder In consequence they were
at great disadvantage and were
afraid to reply to the fire of the Span
iards on account OF the deadly tirt
that would have been attracted by the
smoke Of the old style powder. The
orders came to them to remain quiet
and take what they were given.
For three days this was kept up anC
the men suffered greatly. There wa:
nothing 10 the whole fighting that
was so trying to troops as to have Il
lie quiet under fire. For three day:
this was endured by the Washington
boys before the surrender came.
They were twenty seven days Ii
Cuba and seven Of these were spent il
| the trenches before the city. TIL,
suffering was very great but it wal
not very long. The sickness incident
to this was very great and many o.
the men died from the effects of thu
attacks.
When the regiment returned home
they were received royalty by the peo
pie of the district and each membe
presented with medal on account o
the fine record that they made.
Mr.. Wisman was one Of the suffer.
ers from malaria and was sick for {
long time. However the effects hav,
about left him and he will be in schoo
here this summer. He will enter thu
Commercial department.

What there is to be gained by
keeping the people of this country
in ignorance of the true situation in
the Philippines does not appear, yet
it is announced from Washington
that the president is determined to
continue to enforce the censorship
of private and press dispatches at
Manila. Within few days he has
intimated forcibly to General Corbin
that too much information is being
made public from the war depart
ment. Newspaper correspondents
are forbidden by General Otis to file
press reports from Hong Kong, and
are warned that If they evade the
censorship by this method their
usefulness to their papers will
cease immediately" 1t is further
stated that authentic information
regarding the true situation in Ma
Mia cannot be obtained from the dis
patches posted at the war depart
ment in Washington. Advices re
garding the situation are suppressed,
and it is said that the war depart
ment officials go SO far as to insert
phrases in the official reports as Civ
en- out. Surely there is no one more
deeply interested than the American
public in what is being done over
there and while it may be unpleas-
ant to the administration to be crit
icised, suppressing the facts isn't
going to help the matter any. If
things are going right it can do no
harm to let the people know it, If
they are going wrong the people are
sure to find it ont sooner or later
and their Indignation will be inten-
sified by the deception 1t is better
by far that the administration be
open and frank with the people and
thus secure their confidence, than
that secrecy be maintained at the
sacrifice OF that confidence.
