TIE TRUE MERIDIANS.
State Geologist White on this Impor-
tant Work.


The following self explanatory
letter was published il Wednesday,
issue of the Wheeling Intelligeneer:
NY attention has been called to
an article published in your edition
of November "a, 1898, under the
headlines True Meridian The
question contained an error that i
wish to correct. 1t gave the United
States coast and geodetic survey as
the organization with which our
state geological survey has been CO.
operating in the establishment of
the true meridians in all of the coun-
ties of the state, instead of the
United States geological survey, a
totally different organization.
The United States coast and geo.
detic survey has during various
years since 1864, established merid
ian marks in several 49, of the
county seats of the state, of which
Wheeling was one, and in such cases
the United States geological survey
did not duplicate the work. In all
of the other forty two counties of the
state, the United States geological
survey has established meridian
marks, during the past year, com
pleting the last station at New Cum
berland, Hancock county, on De-
cember IA, 1898, The work has been
done in a skillful and satisfactory
manner, and at great saving of ex-
pense to the state, since under the
contract entered into between Di
rector Wolcott, of the United States
geological survey and our state geo
logical survey, the entire work of de-
termining the meridians and mark
ing the same with stone monuments
and metal tablets was to be done at
a total cost of only $500 to the West
Virginia survey.
The true meridians were deter
mined by skilled astronomer, and
all the facts concerning the same are
now in my hands for publication.
The magnetic declination varies
from 0 degrees SO minutes W. at
New Martinsyille, Wetzel county, to
4 degrees 36 minutes at Berkeley
Springs, Jefferson county, and hence
all will see the Importance of this
work and its early publication. 1t
will appear with the Report on Pc
troleum, which is now ready to go
to the printers, and which we hope
will be published the latter part of
February. Respectfully,
l. G. WHITE,
State Geologist.

TO BE MUSTERED OUT.
The First West Virginia said TO have
received orders.

A telegram from Columbus Ga, to
the Cincinnati Enquirer tells OF GER
tain troops from there leaving for
Cuba.
1t also says that Gen. Andrews has
been ordered to Manila and adds:,,"his
removal from command Of the divi-
sion together with orders mastering
out the First West Virginia, First
Territorial and Third Mississippi,
leaves only the Second Missouri for
the movement to Cuba which will fol-
low the present movement.
From this it would be seen that or
ders have been given for the muster
ing out the First West Virginia.

SEVERAL ELECTIONS.
All are sleepy and slow going
affairs.

A Warm Time had been Prepared for
In Morgantown but withdrawal OF
Mr.. Keck from the Mayoralty Con-
test made this unnecessarY-Oldti tick
etwill be elected unanimously -Mem-
berof School Board to be chosen-Sen-
ecaals0 Mt 1t.
The elections are passing off qui-
city all over the districts that are
taking part in them. There are
three elections going on to-day. Sc
neca is holding one of them and the
polling place is at Lough's shop on
Beechurst. There is but one ticket
in the field down there and all the
members on this will be elected with
but one exception. There are six
men nominated for council and but
five are needed. One man will be
dropped and that will be the one
receiving the lowest number of
votes. He will be the only man In
the district who will be defeated
to-day.
The town election is attracting
very little interest. 1t looked yes
terday evening and last night like
there would be a hard fight The
old ticket was in the field and its
supporters were ready to give a
good account of why it should be re
elected They had all their fences
fixed for warm time and would
have made it very interesting il it
had been necessary.
Several hundred tickets had been
printed with l.. V. Keck at their
head and containing the old cogncil
with the exception of the mav5r. AT
ter The election had been going on
a short time Mr.. Keck came into the
polling place at Municipal Hall and
took all these tickets up. He an
nounced that he was not candi-
date and that he had withdrawn
from the race.
OF course this took all the indica-
tions of scrap out of the thing and
the election has been a very sleepy
affair. But few votes will be cast as
people are not taking very general
interest in it. Had it been other
wise full vote would have been out
A member of the school board is
also to be elected to-day and his
name will be William H. Bailey. Mr..
Bailey is the member from Seneca
and he is the only candidate pre-
sented from that place. 1t lie
foregone conclusion that he will be
elected. He is very good man for
the place and will be retained in it
as long as he wishes to be.

THE NEW ROAD.
Numerous Meetings to be Held in
Richie County.

ELLENBoRo, w. Va, Jan. 5.-The
promoters of the Sistersville, Penns-
boro and huntsville railroad, the
proposed new line to run from the
Ohio river at Sistersville, through
Taylor, Richie, Calhoun and Gill
mer counties, and intersect the West
Virginia and Pittsburg railroad at
huntsville, Braxton county, are evil
IDENTIFY in earnest in their efforts to
get the enterprise under way.
During the coming week meetings
will be held in this cor .nty, at Ell
lenboro, Stanley, Toll Gate, Beeson,
Highland, Mole Hill and Pennsboro.
The road would be of almost meal
culable benefit to the interior resi-
dents of the counties through which
the proposed road will pass, and the
tapping of the vast Gilmer county
coal fields and interior timber sec
ton would be handy for transporta-
ton to the Ohio river.
Richie county would probably be
the least benefited of any county
through which the road is to pass,
but the increase in the value of real
estate along the line and taxation
would make it good thing for
Ritchie, to say nothing of the con-
venience OF railroad travel.

FIRST PRIZE MONEY
or the War received by Thos. Cheek, Of
the st. Paul.

Thomas Cheek, a Washington man
who was a landsman on the st. Paul
has the honor Of having received
the first certificate for prize money
issued by the government as a re
suit of the war with Spain. The
prize was the Spanish steamer
Restormas, which was released by
the prize court, although her cargo
was condemned. The amount given
is only $4.79 but as the certificate
was the first issued it has an
interest beyond it's intrinsic value.
Captain Sigsbee's certificate will be
for over 5000.

ATKINSON'S MESSAGE.
Will recommend the Abolition of the
permanent State School Fund.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, January 5.
In his forthcoming message to the
legislature Governor Atkinson will
recommend the adoption of an
amendment to the state constitution
providing for the gradual distribu-
ton and final adjustment of the
permanent school fund.
The governor gave out this infor-
nation tonight.
The principal reason assigned is
that the board of school fund trus-
tees is not always able to judge the
value of the security offered for the
money in this fund, and that much
of it is invested in municipal bonds
which may be repudiated at any
time.

WEST VIRGINIA BLAMED
For Coal Strike Said to be Imminent
in the Coal Region.

A general strike in the bituminous
coal region is looked for on April /, at
the close of the term of the Interstate
agreement between the miners and
the operators.
This strike can only be averted by
the miners and operators of the COM
petitive field reaching an amicable
agreement at the convention to be
held in Pittsburg next week. In a
reported interview Operator Thos. E.
Young, manager Of the Hanna coal
interests, is quoted as follows:
sit is the intention of the operators
to reduce the mining scale of wages.
The operators can not afford to main
tain the present rate, and the opera
tors claim reduction must be made.
You can readily see the miners and
operators are far apart. There seems
to be little chance of getting together.
The operators do not see how they can
maintain the present scale. Coal is
now being sold below cost. The mi
ners in this district, comprising the
four states mentioned, are well paid
if they could work full time. They
have done pretty well during the past
year. In fact. they have made more
money than the operators.
"'The operators in this district pay
so much moro for mining than the
operators in the West Virginia district
that they are not able tC compete.
We lose business right along for the
reason that we can not meet the COM
petition. One result of the strike
will be the advance in the price of coal
l do not anticipate coal famine for
the reason that coal can be obtained
from twenty different fields. The
inevitable result Of the strike will be
that the operators will win. The OPP
orators do not look for trouble before
April 1st.

A WHOPPER.
Biggest Well of the Season in
Battelle District.

Battelle Oil Company get two Hun.
dred and fifty Barrel Producer Re
ports first Give it as Small One-It
has Steadily Increased-A Good lease
Owned by Morgantown People-More
Good Wells are to Follow.
The Battelle Oil Company is jubi-
liant and well they may be. Their
well on the Sarah E. Eddy farm in
Ba6telle district near Cross Roads
is in and has begun at rate that
will make it produce about two hun
dred and fifty barrels day. At
first the report was sent out that it
would make twenty. five only and
these who were in on the deal felt
Disguised.
1t is seventeen hundred feet east
of well that is making one hun
dred and seventy barrels that is the
property of the South Penn. The
Eddy line runs near this well and on
the tract that the company has
leased a number of other good wells
ought to be found Two others will
have to be drilled under the lease
and these will be started rightaway.
This we'll is ahead Of the develop
ment in that section and was test.
The South Penn has found several
good wells in the vicinity and this
producer that the new company has
is the largest that has been struck
in the county for some time.
A large number of Morgantown
people are interested in the we'll.
Among them are Jos. McDermott,
DR.. D. H. Courtney, Director Stew
art, Prof R. T. Morris, Prof B. III.
Hite and several others whose names
cannot be secured. DR.. Courtney
and Col. McDermott went up there
when the South Penn we'll came in
thinking it was theirs as that report
had been sent them from Manning
ton but they soon found out their
mistake. However they remained
until the drill on their location had
reached the sand and found that
they had better well than the first
one reported.
Those Of us who are not fortunate
enough to have any oil wells can
congratulate the owners Of the new
one and hope that they will get lots
more of the same kind on the lease.

COMPROMISED.
Grant district school board is
advised to get from under.

Rucker-The latter afterwards tells
them that he Is wrong-A teacher has
right to election day as a holiday
under the law-They will have to
pay the man who sued them--Other
teachers will get their money.
The school board of Grant district
has with drawn from the suit that
they had with one of their teachers
before Squire Parker at Granville.
1t was to have been heard on Satur-
day but the lawyers who had charge
of the case for the board, Messrs. Lag
zelle and Stewart advised them to
compromise and they did So
The board had been advised at first
by Attorney General Rucker that they
were all right and the school law that
they had gave it as the opinion of t.
S. Riley who was Fuckers predecessor
that the election day was not legal
holiday and should not be allowed to
teachers.
The mistake that both of these
eminent lawyers made was due TO the
fact that after Riley had made the
ruling the law was changed making
election day holiday. Rucker had
not thought of this and neither had
Trotter who as superintendent OF free
schools had made up the school law for
distribution to the officials all over the
state.
Riley was right when he gave the
opinion but since then the law has
been changed in regard to the obser-
vance of the day and the opinion
would not Of course be made in the
same way.
In addition to the fact that the law
makes the holiday and the school
board would have been beaten had
they come to trial as they had taken
the school house for the purpose of
holding the election and the man
could not have taught any way The
rest OF the teachers of the district who
have not been paid will now come
forward and claim the same time.
