public interest to comply with the re-

For Better County Government.

The Com of the Board OF Trade
met last night and discussed measures for
the better government Of the county.
Thomas Mercsr, an inspector Of prisons
in Chester county, Pa, explained the
county government Of his county. 1t Is
very much like that of New Castle county
except that the prisoners in the prison of
tie Pennsylvania county are kept at work.
But cents a day Is allowed there for the
board OF q prisoner, while New Castle
county pays twenty. Mr.. Mercer says the
prisoners thrive on the fare given them,
and always weigh more when they are
released than when they are committed to
the prison.
Besides prison reform the manner of
levying taxes, the method of drawing
juries and better roads for the county were
disuu ssed.
1t seemed to be the general opinion that
the manner of drawing juries is wrong.
Some OF the members Of tho committee
were not 80 familiar with this as Mr.,
Whiteman. He said that most Of the
jurymen selected under the present system
arc incompetent. The members OF the
Levy Court place the names of their friends
In the box without any regard to their fit
ness for the position. A bill has already
been drawn to lie presented to the LegislH
turc, providing for tho appointment of
two non partisan jury commissioners.
What to do with the county prisoners
and tho advisability of placing them at
work on the county roads, was one of the
chief topic, of discussion. Mr.. Neary
thought the county should buy quarry
and stone crusher. The prisoners could
be employed in this quarry and also put
to work on tho roads. He favored ap-
pointing a county supervisor of roads, who
should direct the work done by the hun
dred road commissioners.
1t was the general opinion that the sys-
tenn employed by the road commissioners
IL not satisfactory, and good roads could
mover be built by the present methods.
With supervisor it was held that good
permanent road and one that would be OF
some use could be built. The present sys
TEN Of patching tho roads temporarily
would be abandoned. The prisoners could
be employed in tho road building and
save the county large expense, be.ides
giving it better roads.
When tho committee makes its report to
the Board of Trade this evening, re-
commendation will be made that II bill be
presented to tho Legislature. including
Mr. Neary's idea about working prisoners
on the road. Two things could be gained
II snch bill was passed. Work for the
prisoners who are now kept in idlaness
would be furnished, and the county would
have better roads.

HON. A. W. CAMPBELL DEAD.
One Of the Founders of West Virginia
Dies in Miss0uri-He was a Man
of Great Force.

WHEELING, w. Va, Feb. 49,
News was received here of the sudden
death, from paralysis, at Webster
Groves, Mo-, of Hon. A. W. Campbell
of this city, one of the founders of
West Virginia and one of the propri-
etors of the Wheeling Intelligencer,
and until few years ago its editor.
Mr.. Campbell, in connection with
Ex-Governor Pierpont, now resident
of Plttsburg, and Others of promin-
ence, advocated the division Of the
State before the war, and the war
coming on. the counties west of the
mountains, now constituting West
Virginia, were organized into proyis-
ional government, and in 1868 were
admitted as a State. Wheeling was
the scene of the movement and of
many excltements, and Mr.. Camp
bells paper was the only paper in
West Virginia supporting the cause
and President Lincoln.
1t was declared by the Government
of Virginia to be treason to advocate
division. Mr. Campbell champion
ed the cause of division, and opposed
the course of Virginia, being a
strong supporter of the movement.
Ex-Governor Pierpont. who was made
Provisional Governor of what was
known as the "Restored Government
of Virginia. is authority for the
statement that it was dispatch
penned by Mr.. Campbell to President
Lincoln that determined him to sign
the bill admitting West Virginia to
the Union against the wishes of some
members of his Cabinet.
Since his retirement from active
newspaper life, Mr.. Campbell has liv-
ed in quiet, and never would accept
a public office, though frequently
offered the United States Senatorship.

Der the young man perfectly. He
took History, some studies in the
Preparatory Department, and some
Junior studies in law. He never
graduated in anything. He was here
only part of the session. 1t is just
about as stupid to call on the news
papers to apologize for having stated
that young Jennings Of Missouri,
was student in the w. Va. Z. Law
School as it would be to require Har-
ward to apologize for every graduate
of that Institution who had subse-
quently eloped with another mans
wife. Respectfully,

FAIRMONT NOTES.
West virginian Tells About Some Very
Interesting Happenings.

Now that we have Greater Fair
mont we predict the next census will
show it to be city with population
OF between 5000 and 1000.
Our railroad men seem to be play

man and Harry Kiger were blessed
with additions to their families on

March 1st, when Board of Directors
and officers will be chosen.
Our townsman, Engineer f. B,
Davis, of the +. M. and p, met with
serious mishap last Friday ia the b.
and o. yard, Pittsburg. In stepping
on to his engine his foot slipped, when
he fell backwards to the ground, the
back of his head striking first. He
was rendered insensible, remaining in
that condition for some time. Taken
to Mercy Hospital he recovered suffi
GENTLY to make the trip home the
next day, but he has not been out
since, and it will be several days, it is
thought, before he will be himself
again.

ICE GONE.
Breaks up Easily on Sunday and will do
Little Damage-Happy outcome of
a Threatened Danger.

The ice on the river in obedience
to the commands of old Sol broke up
on Sunday and started down the
river. 1t had become quite thin and
soft before the breakup came and il
is not expected to do very much
damage not nearly as much as at
one time it bid fair to do. However
it will make things interesting on
the lower river where the boats are
tied in all sorts of shapes for de.
struction.
The river began to raise on Satur
day night from the rains and snow
which had begun to add their waters
to it's usual amount and this soon
took the ice out. All day Sunday
the river was full of floating ice and
the sight attracted a great many
people Several jams occurred dur
ing the day but these soon broke
and left the rest free to follow. The
channel is not clear here on Monday

James II. .Hamrick, aged rs years,
has died at his home near Philippi.
He was famous because of his knowl-

THE FORTEIGHTLY CLUB.
The Regular Session held on
Friday Evening at DR.. and
Mrs. Whitchill's.

Paper of the Evening on the ssMerchan
OF yeAice"--Read by Judge johnson
Discussion by Profs. Wiley and Arm
strong-Dr. Sanders and DIR. Leecl
also Speak on the Paper-Some Criti
eism Of the Author and the Defence
0ffered-A Delightful Session.
The Fortnightly Club was enter
tanned by Professor and Mrs. White
hill last evening The principal pa
per was read by Judge johnson, the
subject being 1.-THE Merchant O.
Venice" The paper was very in
teresting and highly entertaining
especially when the Judge criticised
the scourt scene" as being very in
accurate from legal standpoint
He read many passages from the
play, which added much to the pleas
ure of the audience for Judge John
son is an exceptionally fine reader
Prof. Wiley opened the discussion
and said that he thought Shakes.
peare's plays were all lacking in
certain essentials of dramatic art
viz: that spectators would find
trouble in following them if they
we're put on the stage as they were
written, and that the hostlers and
the maids speak in poetry, just as dc
philosophers and statesmen.
Professor Armstrong was the next
speaker. He disagreed with Prof
Wiley, saying that the servants and
other lower classes were always made
to speak in prose, unless in very
exalted state of mind He then pro-
ceeded to give a history of the sourc-
es of the play, and ended by reading
a number OF beautiful quotations
from it.
DR.. Sanders attacked the legal
question, opened by Judge johnson,
and showed that, taking into consid-
Grafton the fact that the civil law,
and not our common law prevailed
in Venice at that time and that the
court scene depicted by Shakespeare
might have been an actual occur
renee.
Dr. Leech spoke of the wrong done
to the Jewish race as a whole, though
he did not defend Shylock
Shylock was abused by some, and
pitied by others; the general opinion
however, being that Shakespeare has
depicted a representative Jew.
The club will meet at the School
Of Music on March 3, the subject
being 1.-THE Legend of the Flying
Dutchman." Miss Matte Brock
will present the paper, and Miss
MeMurphy will illustrate with mu-
sic.
