All preparations for the three
DAYS celebration of the hundredth.
anniversary of the settlement OF
Wood county, which began on Tues
day are perfected, and there is ev-
cry assurance that the event will be
successful beyond even the hope of
those who first projected it. The
Masons have reconsidered their res
olution declining to lay the corner
stone of the new $4,000 court
house, now in course of construction,
and will take charge of that part of
the celebration and lay the stone on
Thursday. Special trains will be
run on all roads, and very large
crowds are anticipated.

AUTHENTIC REPORTS.
How the Marion County Miners We're
Killed

The first authentic report of the
four men who were killed in the Ma
rion County mines has been furnished
Chief Mine Inspector Paul. 1t was
found upon investigation that the ex-
plosion at the Highland mine was
caused by a man lying upon box,
reading newspaper. His clothing
caught fire from his lamp. Two men
ran to his assistance, tore his clothes
off and threw them upon boxes of
powder which caused the explosion,
and all were killed. The mine in
speetors discourage taking large guam
titles of powder into the mines, al
though there IS no law to prevent it,
but when it is done it is in direct vio-
lation of orders. The other miner
u,.o killed at the CASTOR mine. He
had been instructed not to enter un-
less in company with the foreman.
He disobeyed orders aud went in
alone. His lamp ignited the gas,
which resulted in an explosion cost
ing him his life.

TO BRING THEM.
Excursions on Boats and Railroad will
Bring the People in for Chadwick
Day-Arrangements have been
Made.

On the occasion of Chadwick Day
the B. & o. will run special from
Connellsville to this place at one fare
for the round trip tickets to be sold
at all intermediate stations. The
train will leave Connellsyille at seven
thirty in the morning and will make
the run in about two hours. 1t will
bring the companies from Connells-
vile and Uniontown and Rutter's
Band together with hundreds of peo-
pie from that section.
Returning it will leave here at five
thirty in the evening. 1t will thus
give the people an opportunity to see
everything and get them back home
in time for supper.
The regular trains from the South
together with extras that will be
run on their time will be sufficient
to bring the people from that di-
rection.
On the river the Mason, the Dewey
and other excursion boats besides
the regular packets will come in
loaded to the guards with down riv
er people to see the show and there
is no fear but that there will be
plenty to make the celebration what
it should be.

Another of his mistakes ~

President Raymond is mistaken
when he states that the request for
an appropriation to buy pipe organ
at the University was voluntarily
withdrawn. 1t was reluctantly with
drawn after the finance commit
tee Of the house positively refused
to allow it. The member from Mon
ongalia, who was also member of
the committee while warm and ac-
tive friend of the University, was a
very fair and honest man. He frank
ly admitted that the organ could bet
ter be dispensed with than some other
appropriations asked for.-Charleston

OIL DEVELOPMENTS.

The deep sand territory in the

demonstrated its ability to present

The South Penn Oil Company
drilled in its No 5 on the Elihu Ed
dy farm yesterday morning, and the
well started to flow at the rate of L
barrels an hour, and will likely in
crease its production when drilled
deeper. The location is 1900 feet
northeast Of the same company's
No. 6 Eddy, which came in Il big
gusher last month. and is still hold
ing up at l5 barrels an hour.
The northeast extension Of the
Campbell's run development has
furnished some of the largest deep
sand wells that have been drilled in
the State. In the same development
MeDermott d Co are due shortly at
their No. 5 on the Sarah E. Eddy
farm. This class of territory has
been furnishing the largest amount
of new production for several years
in the lower southwest, and just
when it looked as though it had been
defined a new extension has come to
light and given more new produc.
ton and an impetus to new opera
tions in their respective localities.

lem Is to Care For the People.
The sword is being universally
admired. 1t is one of the prettiest
things ever seen in the town and
its perfection of workmanship and
design are commented on fav-
orally by every one who sees it. 1t
will likely be placed in some store
window before very long.
subscriptions are still being ta-
ken for the Chadwick sword oele-
bration and on Monday one hun
dred and fifty dollars were raised.
w. w. Hayes, w 4. Glasscock and
Frank Cox have done the greater
part of the hustling in that direc
ton and they deserve lots of credit
for what they have done.
There will be ten rear admirals In
the party that is coming from Wash
ington All of the naval officers OF
any prominence in the city will be
in the party that is coming to Nor
gantown. 1t has been found that
entire party and another one has
been placed at the disposal Of the
committee by the railroad company.
The day as far as illustrious visitors
are concerned will be bowling sue
cess
There is report over town that
the McKeesport company will be
here but this grew out OF the fact
that it had been invited. No reply
has been received from this organi-
cation but it is hoped that the men
who make it up will be able to get
to Morgantown. The military part
of the display is already "a great
success.
The next problem and the only
one is how to take care OF the peo-
pie. There will be thousands of
people who will have to be fed.
The church people ought to have
sandwiches and coffee and every one
else whoscan do so should prepare the
same. There will not be a great
deal of use to try to get regular
meals but sandwiches and coffee are
all that will be wanted. These should
be provided by the thousand.
Already pictures of Captain Chad
wick are being placed in store and
residence windows over town and
by the day of the celebration they
will be every where. The pictures
that have been secured are very good
ones

SEPARATED
And United Three Different--Times did
This Couple.

Harvey III. Williams and Mrs. Ida
Williams, formerly Miss Ida Cane,
of Chenille, were married two weeks
ago for the third time. They were
married in 1889, but did not live hap
PLY though both were wealthy. In
1892 on the application of Williams
they were divorced. In 1894 they
were remarked, and a child was born.
Two years ago, upon his application,
they were again divorced and everyone
supposed the separation would be per-
manent. Their third wedding was
doubly surprising because Williams
attentions to his former wife were not
known to anyone. They are about
thirty-f five years old and Mrs. Will
liams is beautiful woman.

TURNER BACK.
Morgantown Recruit Fails to Pass the
Examination in Wheeling Rest gone

west.
David Turner who left here last
week to go with the recruits under
charge of Lieutenant w. j. White of
the 44th is back at home He failed
to pass the examination in Wheeling
which was a very severe one and
which showed up point of weakness
that he had not yet suspected. It Is
temporary in character and he will
soon be over it but it knocked him
out as Uncle Sam is very careful about
the kind of men that he takes into
his army nowadays.
Turner states that the rest of the
boys have left Wheeling and gone to
Fort Leavenworth. He was very
much disappointed about not going
and John Shay was very sorry to see
Turner return. A large number of
recruits were taken in tow in Wheel
ing and went west with the Lieuten-
ant.
The regiment is nearly complete if
not altogether so and the next few
weeks will be devoted to getting them
into shape for the campaign that is
ahead of them. 1t is expected that
they will be among 0he next sent to

MINISTER DISMISSED.
Rev. L. H. Jordon no Longer a
Methodist.

In the Conference and for Forty years
Worker Is Dismissed Mysterious
Case-No Explanation Is made and IL
Passed Hurriedly.
The Methodist conference now in
session at Parkersburg performed an
action that will he a great surprise to
a great many people in this town and
county. They deposed from the min
istry and the church Rev. l.. III. Jor-
dan one of the best known ministers
in the state and who has been for
forty years a member OF the confer
ence. He was made an elder at the
meeting of the church which took
place in Morgantown two years ago.
The reasons for the step were not
given out. There were no charges
fled as far as known and there was
no discussion. The motion was made
by Rev. j. w. Bedford and seconded
by Elder J. Engle to dismiss the Ell
der 1t is said that the ministers of
the churches under him in the New
River district made the complaints
but this is not at all certain.
It's stated positively that the
charges were not of immortality but
what they are will likely remain In
darkness for years to come and possi-
bly, will never be revealed. At pres
ent there is no intimation OF a desise
on the part Of any one TO tell it.
The appointments have not yet
been read but it is stated that there
will not be much changing around and
Morgantown will get the same man
she has had for the past two years.
The call was made unanimous for
him TO return.
The next meeting place will be
Clarksburg which was selected unan-
imously. The list of appointments
will be read some time to-day. The
conference will then adjourn.

IT Is HERE.
Presentation Sword Arrived on
Monday,

Now on Exhibition in Commander
Browns Office Magnificent Tribute
to MorgantoWn's Fayorite Son-De-
scription OF the HeaD0n-Eyerything
About it is of The Very Best.
The much talked of sword which is
to be presented to Captain +. Z. Chad
wick of the New York by citizens of
Morgantown has been received. 1t
came in Old Monday morning and can
be seen at the office of Commander
Brown. Everyone who has seen it is
loud in his praises of the weapon
which is certainly magnificent trib-
ute to the respect and esteem in which
the gallant captain Of the flag ship is
held by the people of this state.
The blade is of the finest and most
flexible steel. One side is oruamented
with the inscription, presented to
Captain French E. Chadwick by the
citizens of the State of West Virgin
la" festoons and laurel decorating the
upper part On the other side is a
vignette of the flagship New York.
All these decorations appear in gold,
the grip is made of shark skin, en-
twined with gold laurel, emblematic
of honor and triumph. The pommel
is a massive piece of gold work, decor
ated on either side with an American
bald eagle, 10 gold relief, grasping a
fouled anchor. In the top is set an
amethyst. The guard is encircled at
the top by dolphin, the scales and
other portions richly executed. The
lower portion is of pierced work, and
embodies the letters q. S. N, entwin-
ed with oak leaves and acorns, signify
ing strength, the edge finished with
rope.
THE FLEET OF SAMPSON.
The face of the guard is enriched by
an engraving vignette of Admiral
SIMPSONS fleet, with the flagship
New York in the foreground. The
scabbard is made of sterling silver,
oxidized and relieved by massive and
richly carved gold decorations. The
bands which secure the rings TO which
the trappings are attached are COM
posed of heavily carved laurel wreaths.
Above the upper band, just beneath
the guard, is the full coat of arms of
the State of West Virginia with
motto. Below this band is the head
of Neptune. Midway between the
upper and lower band is the mono
gram F. E. G. The tip of the scab-
bard is massive gold dolphin which
supports a trident entwined with sea
weed. All the metal parts of the
blade and trappings are made of heavy
and massive 18karat gold. The web
bing is embossed in heavy gold bullion
and made especially to order.
