creation, pronounced the Mosaical
writings untrue as to the history Of
creation, and were in their trend
atheistical; and that a vast number
of scholars do not accept the most
radical theories Of evolutionists as

The debates lasted two hours and
were intensely earnest. At the next
meeting the officers for the year will

SENATOR BETTER.
Good News OF His RecOvery-A Few
Days ago Hi sLife Was Disparcd Of.

1t is with great pleasure we are
able to announce that che condition
of Senator Wiley is so improved
that there is hope that he willagain
get ON his feet. The case WAS so
hopeless a few days ago that his
friends would not have been sur
prised to hear of his death at any
moment, but under the most skilful
and delicate treatment the vital
spark was kept alive, and he is now
gaining strength. The Senator had
told his grandson that he believed
it to be his duty, to use all reasona
Bile medical remedies for his recov-
cry if there was hope, bat if in the
opinion of his physicians they would
not avail he desired to die, and did
not want his sufferings prolonged.
Senator Wiley is now In the 89th
year of his age, and although he
cannot in the nature of things have
many more years of life, his friends
hope that his strong constitution
will bear him through quite a good
lease Of life yet

HOW TO REACH THEM.
Directions That Must be Followed Il
Get Letters to Volunteer Soldiers

Although Morgantown has but
few soldiers in the field the following
directions how to get mail to them
ought to be read by everyone and
closely followed. Otherwise the let
tiers are not likely to reach those for
whom they are intended. The post
master here has asked that the fol-
lowing order be published by us:
Order No 593.
The Director of Posts at Manila,
Philippine Islands, reports that
large numbers of letters addressed
to soldiers and sailors at this office
are unbelievable, through the fail
ure of the sender to place on the en-
velope the name of the company and
regiment, or other organization to
which the addressee belongs.
Postmasters are directed to inform
their patrons of this fact, either per-
sonally, through the press, or in any
other feasible way that can be done
without expense to the Department,
and, that all mail matter addressed
to persons connected with the United
States Service In the Philippine
Islands must, to insure delivery, not
only bear the name Of the addressee,
but the full designation of the par
ticular branch of the service to
which he belongs, viz: if to soldie4
it must bear the name of his compa
ny and regiment, If TO a sailor, the
name of his vessel, and II in any 9th
er branch of the public service, the
designation of that branch

A Graceful Act.

As Morgantown is interested in
Capt Chadwick the following Incl
dent, which has never been publish
ed before. is in order.
After the naval victory of Santiago
Captain Chadwick found during an
inspection of one of the enemy's
ships, a handsome sword with the
name of Spanish officer engraved
upon it. Knowing that this officer
was prisoner in the hands of the
government Capt. Chadwick took
pains to discover his whereabouts,
aud sent the sword to him with a
courteous note.
The Spaniard wrote a most appre-
ciative letter in reply, saying what a
happiness it was to him to possess
his sword again, and adding that he
was no less astonished than touched
by this graceful act of an enemy.
He was surprised that an American
officer could be so generous.
He probably understands opr
Navy better now.

THE Forty-fourth is now far on
its way to San Francisco. 1t will
not have to remain there many days
before it will start for Manila with
the three Morgantown boys in the
ranks and one in the list of officers
With it. The record they will make
will be credit to the town that
claims them.
PENNSYLVANIA hunters should be
closely watched and none of them
allowed TO hunt without paying for
the privilege. The tax is not very
large one but it is intended to pre-
vent outside hunters from coming in
lere to kill our game. They may
kick about it but it suits us and
that is all that need be asked
about it.
The Wheeling News says that the
boys at the University are gradually
losing their interest in athletics. 1t
is very small wonder that they do
find the fight an up hill one and that
Shey occasionally do appear to be
ready to abandon it. But they
hold On and from year to year get
better-in each field of effort.

"JoE the Turk" who has been in
Morgantown with the Salvation Army
was chased out of Turkey and other.

ONE OF the sides of the bridge il
finished aud has been opened to the
public. Attention will now be turned
to The other roadway and it will be
gotten out of the way as fast as pos.
sible. The new floor was badly
needed and will help matters down
there.
THE next movement that ought to
engage the attention of the people of
this county is good road movement.
Nothing will repay the county like
this investment. We ought to begin
to build better roads even IL we have
TO make moderate start in the be-
ginning.
The floor has been laid on one
eide Of the bridge but it is not yet
ready to be opened to travel 1t will
soon be turned over however and
bhe other roadway tackled. The
progress has been very satisfactory
and unless the weather turns bad
the structure will soon be finished
THE people living in the north
end of town would like to see the
letter box placed back at its old po-
sition on the Davis corner. 1t was a
very great convenience to them and
they want to have it again. The at
tention of the postmaster is called
to this long felt want.
THE Novelty Company makes a
new announcement to-day. They are
determined to keep In the lead.
They seem to anticipate what will
please and be seryiceable for their
customers and always have it. No
more courteous gentlemen to do bust
dess with can be found anywhere than
they.
THE new bridge is now a go and
another large number OF available
building sites will be added to these
that are already on the market. Nor
gantown has begun to feel the pinch
ofscarcity of building lots and the
completion of the new bridge will OBJ
yiate what has been looking like a
very serious threatened draw back.
The new buildings that are to be
built at the University will help the
building trades in Morgantown while
they are going up. They will be
immense affairs and will require the
services of great many men. just
now the builders are having their
innings. They are the busiest peo-
pie in town.

MURDERED.
Morgantown Man Killed And
Placed on The Railroad
Track.

Train Mangles His Body Horribly But
His Brother Finds Evidence Of Foul
PIay-Twe Enemies uspected-Knife
Feund-TayI0r Was Formerly Res
ident OF This Place.
A few days ago mention was made
In this paper OF the killing OF a man
on the railroad at Fairmont He was
horribly mangIed and allowed to re-
main where found for an hour or more
while the matter Of responsibility was
being fixed between the b. & o. and
the Monongahela River Road. 1t Is
now thought that the man who was
| formerly resident of this place was
murdered by couple Of his enemies.
The following special from Fairmont
will tell about this. Ii is as follows:
From the present indications it be-
gins to look that Zack Taylor, instead
of being killed by train Thursday
evening or Friday morning early, a
short distance above this city, as was
thought at the time, and a verdict
rendered TO that effect, will turn out
differently, possibly. 1t is thought
by his relatives that the man vas
murdered. His body was found along
the B. & O., railroad lying on his left
side with his right arm across the
track with part of it cut of by pass
ing train. His friends think he was
first murdered and then placed On the
track; that the first train passing
would render the body beyond recog-
nition His throat was cut some, but
the head was badly mangled behind,
appearing as II he had been beaten to
death.
Jefferson Taylor, of Morgantown, a
brother of the deceased, showed press
representative a penknIfe, possibly six
inches long, opened and the. blade
blood-stalned, that was found cover
ed over with leaves about eight feet
from where his brother was found
dead, and where there had been a
scuffie. A bunch of hair was also
found at this spot that resembled
that of his brother, and other articles
to show that his brother had met
with foul play. He suspects two OF
his brothers enemies as being the
murderers.
1t has been several years since Tay-
lor lived in this place but he will he
remembered by many of the older resi-
dents. He did not bear the best OF
reputation but this has nothing to do
with the murder and If he was killed
as indicated, the murderers should be
hunted down and they should be CIV
en- the benefit OF the law.

GREAT SUCCESS.


to MOrgantOwn Delightful One.
The performance of the Louise
Brehany Ballad and Concert Compa-
ny at the Opera House Saturday
evening was success in every re
spect The company is composed of
stars and made great hit The
audience was treated to musical
treat that is rarely the good fortune
of a town as small as Morgantown
to enjoy. Every seat was occupied
and no one there but felt regret
when the curtain went down that
the performance was ended
Each number on the program was
a gem and the audience was carried
away frequently by the delightful
strains. The production OF a por-
tion of the Opera martha" was the
best part OF the evenings perform
ance. The ladies of the Episcopal
church had the concert in charge
and they deserve much credit for
the splendid manner In which the
affair was managed. 1t netted a
handsome sum for the church.

of the most interesting fights ever
witnessed in West Virginia, in Re-
publican circles, will be the tight
next year between Collector A. b.

Romeo H. Freer. for the nomination
for governor. The race for the nomi-
nation has now narrowed down TO
these two gentlemen, and if reports
are true they are both in the field to
stay. White of course will have the
backing of the two senators, but |
give it as my opinion that Romeo,

Rumored Hotel Deal.

1t has been reported that one Of the

the last few days. This is incorrect
but it grew out of the fact that some
negotiations have been IN progress.
IL was stated that possession was to
be given on November first but this Is
trifle premature.
