of the Attractions Of the Sessions :
Notes on the Organization.
The biennial convention of the
West Virginia Conference Epworth
League will be held at Grafton on
the 9th, 2Sth and 10Th instant.
Great preparations have been made.
A large attendance and noteworthy
occasion are assured. The mem
bership Of the League in the State
is over ten thousand, and as every
forty members are entitled to del
egate. and no chapter, however
small, is deprived OF one, the posi-
bility of the size of the convention
is great. The unusually attractive
program this year will cause nearly
all the chapters to be represented
The day sessions are to consist
principally of Training School OF
Methods in the religious, ciarita
Bile, literary and social work of the
organization. DR.. j. F. Berry, editor
of the Epworth Herald, of Chicago,
one Of the best informed Epworth-
ians in the land, will conduct it
and the officers of the convention
are to be congratulated upon secur-
ing what will be full of interest to
the public, as well as to members OF
the League The Rev. J. L. Sooy,
d. d., OF Wheeling, is the speaker
on the first evening, Rev. S. V
Leech, d. D. of Morgantown on the
second, and DR.. Barry on the last
evening. a splendid chorus will be
the attractive musical feature. The
local chapter at Grafton is sparing
20 effort to royalty entertain the
visitors.
A special session will be held in
the interests ofChristian citizenship
on Wednesday the 2Sth, and Gen.
Chas. II Grosvenor, of Ohio, has
consented to make an address Chap
lain Arbuthnot, late of First West
Virginia Volunteer Infantry in the
Spanish American war, will also
speak. Vice President Armstrong.
of the State University delivers a
lecture on the morning of the same
day. The Leaguers have certainly
treat in store. For reduced rail
road fare apply to II G. Compton,

Remarkable to state the Epworth
League is only ten years old, but in
the decade of its existence it has
grown to the phenomenal strength
OF 10000 chapters with a member
ship Of 81, 100000. The West Vir-
ginia members are no less enterpris
ing and enthusiastic than their as
sociates elsewhere and ever since
1892 have had State organization.
la 1895 it met at Parkersburg, in
1896 at Kingwood, and in 1897 at
Charleston. All of these meetings
were eminently successful, and the
cities named did themselves proud
in the role of host Grafton will
not be behind, and this convention
will no doubt be the best of the ser

BErHASY coI.LEeE.
President Chesen-A Professor Will
Come Here to school.

The board Of trustees Of Bethany
college have held their annual meet
ing and selected a president to ill
the vacancy that has existed fol
some time. The Rev. DIR. Kersey.
of Washington, Pa, WAS the man
chosen for the responsible position
as head Of the school. The president
of the faculty has been acting as
president of the college since the
late president resigned, but while
he held the position the faculty was
as whole in charge. The new
president is a man of wide learning
and will doubtless fill the place
with honor and credit to the old
school. He has been pastor of the
Christian church at Washington for
some years aud is considered one OF
the ablest men in this section of the
country in that denomination.
All the old faculty was reelected
for next year with one slight charge
The chairs of Latin and Greek are
consolidated under Profs. Henry s.
Green and B. c. Bondurant The
professor OF Latin is on years
leave of absence to take scholar
ship in the state university. While
the finances ofthe institution gave
the trustees much concern, they
found themselves in better shape
than last year. The outlook for next
year in financial way was consider
ed much more favorable The meet
ing was perfectly harmonious and
there was no pickering or lighting
at any time during the meeting
One of the trustees expressed him
self as perfectly satisfied with the
way things were progressing and he
expects to see additional interest
taken in the college.

Two works from the pens OF West
Virginia authors have been recently
issued from the press and are winning
favorable comment One is 'Per-
sonal Recollections of StonewaI Jack
son" by Prof. John G. Cuttings. OF
Clarksburg, and the title carries the
idea of an interesting and instruc-
tive book. The other is "Wheat and
Chaff," being compilation Of poems,
letters and prose sketches by the late
Marshall S. Cornwell Hampshire
county boy, formerly editor of the
Elkins Inter Mountain, and whom the
dread consumption cut off in his TWEEN
ty-seventh year. This little volume
is succinct with optimistic philosophy
and abounds with tender sentiment
and human sympathy. 1t is culled
from the deceased's writings by his
brothers State Senator John J. and
w. B. Cornwell, of RDmney. =

An illustrated Political Paper.

The Verdict OF New York, is a
weekly journal printed in colors. 1t
is the only illustrated Democratic
paper in the United States. Each
issue contains three cartoons, deals
pictorially with contemporaneous
public events and public persons in
vigorous, characteristic way.
The paper is broadly Democratic
in principle. Its views of affairs are
not local, but national. Its attitude
toward the public questions Of the
day, political and economic, has al
ready made national impression.
Editorially, it is, and will be frank
and sincere in it's expressions about
men and measures.
In addition to its editorials and
correspondence, it will contain spec
ial articles of unusual interest, writ
ten in vigorous fashion.
1t has been enlarged to twenty
pages, and each number will contain
a portrait cartoon of some national
celebrity.

j. X. Conley, an agent of H. X.
Mulford & Co. of Philadelphia, manu-
facturers Of antitoxine and vaccine,
was in town few days ago to make
arrangements to get some one in this
locality to supply the firm with 400
live rattle and copperhead snakes. He
said 1t was the object of the milford
company to experiment with the
snakes in order to discover II possible,
an antitoxine for snake bite. Differ
ent kinds of wild and tame animals
will be put in the cages with the rep
tiles and as soon asone is bitten a
physician will experiment on the ef.
fects OF The poison injected into the
animal by the snake In this way
many remedies can be used and per-
haps a discovery for snake bite can be
made. N. w. Miller, the noted fox
hunter of this place was approached
by Mr. Conley, the agent and was
asked to supply the demand. He says
he win do so providing suitable ar
rangements can be made, as he would
like to exterminate the deadly reptiles
on his farm in the mountains. On
Tuesday he had valuable squirrel
dog bitten by a RATHER and it died in
a few hours in great agony. This is
only one of many that he has had Bit
ten in recent years.

STATE SUPREME COURT.
Arguments Heard on Very In
teresting Railroad Case.


IN Effort to Prevent The Coassy Court
OF Harrison From CsnceiiiBg an r.
sac OF Bonds TO Aid in BuiisiiHg a
sew Elead--A Number OF sstier sre-
oHd bisirist Cases Argued and SUBJ
mi;sei
Tie state Supreme Court Of APP
peals has taken up the docket for
the Second district comprising Mon
ongalia, Marion and Harrison coun-
ties. The most interesting and i'm
portant case under consideration is
that OF West Virginia 4 Pennsyl-
wanna Railway Company against the
County Court of Harrison County.
The railway company seeks to
prevent the county court from can
ceiling an issue of $4,000 worth OF
bonds, which were voted some years
ago to aid in the construction of the
projected railroad. The railway com
pany appealed from the lower court,
and asks that the county court be
prohibited from annulling the bond
issue. On the part OF the county,
it is claimed that the company never
complied with the conditions Of
Harrison county's subscription to
the capital stock, with reference to
beginning the actual work of con
struction of the road, etc. This is
disputed on the other side, and it
is alleged that the work has been
going on.
This matter involves railroad pro
jects in Harrison county. The pro
jected road would open up popu-
lous country, and greatly increase
the railroad facilities in harrison
and adjoining counties. but the
scheme has been dormant for mum
Der of years, and has been looked
upon as virtually abandoned. The
fight which the railway company is
making at this time is regarded by
tine people of CIarksburg as an in
dication that the projected road may
yet be constructed. The matter was
argued anil submitted.
