EWING APPOINTED
Governor Names Successor to Judge
MestreZat.

HARRISBURG, Nov. 24-SampA E.
Ewing, of Uniontown, was appointed
by Governor Stone to the vacancy on
the Fayette county bench created by
the resignation of Supreme Judge-elect
Mestrezat and the promotion OF
Judge Reppert as President Judge.
The appointment takes effect imme-
diately and expires the first Monday
of next January. when Judge-elect
Robert e. Umbel assumes the duties
of additional law Judge.
Judge Ewing is a brother OF ex-
Judge Nathaniel e. Ewing, the Re-
publican candidate who was defeated
at the recent election by Judge Um-
bel and who threatens to contest the
seat Of his successful competitor. No
reason is assigned by the Governor for
appointing Ewing to this vacancy
when Judge Umbel holds a certificate
Of election from the executive begin
ming the first Monday Of next Janu-
airy and running for the full term of
10 years.
Umbel is Democrat and managed
Judge Mestrezat's campaign for SUI
preme Court Judge. Ewing is a Re-
publican and this probably explains
the Governors action in appointing
him instead OF the Judge-elect.
Governor Stone rendered ex-Judge
Nathaniel Ewing the appointment to
the Vacancy uuling his campaign.
The ex-Judge declined, however, on
the plea that he could make a more
aggressive canvass for election off the
bench than on. He was rendered the
appointment after the election and
again declined, then the Governor APP
pointed his brother. Judge Mestre-
Eats wife was sister OF the Ewings.

REAL HEAD.
MorgantoWn Will Continue to
be Head of Navigation
Completion OF Locks and Dams Above
here win not Side track This Place
New Packet Line Between Here and
Fairmont--Ilittle Coal viii Come
Down the River.

Morgantown will likely remain the
rivers even after the prestige of being
the head OF Slackwater navigation is
taken away from here by the extern
sion of the system of locks and dams
through to Fairmont. The upper riy-
er will not have a great deal of COM
merce plying on its bosom according
to several authorities
Among those who think that Nor
gantoWn will remain the real head of
navigation is Capt M. A. Cox, of
Brownsville, Pa, who is in command
of the James G. Blaine. In speaking
about the probability of Fairmont,
w. Va, becoming the head of navi
cation on the Monongahela river for
the Pittsburg, Brownsville and Ge-
neva packet line, he said that he did
not think his line would run boats
through to that point when the con-
templated slack-water improvement
is completed.
1t is also his opinion that little coal
will be shipped by river from that
point, for at least years to come.
Coal, he says, can be shipped to
Wheeling cheaper by rail and loaded
in bargeS for shipment south, for the
reason that the distance from Fair
mont to Wheeling is not as great as
from Fairmont to Pittsburg. and
them he says, when boats get to
Wheeling they are over the worst part
of the Ohio river. He says that in
time the Morgantown line may run a
packet from Morgantown to Fairmont
making connections for Pittsburg at
the former place.
Mr. G. /. Mcdonald the contractor
that the coal would be sent across the
country and that the dams were never
intended to be any thing more than
storage reservoirs for the replenishing
of the lower pools in time of drouth
This was the main reason that the
river men urged their building.
The completion of the Short Line
from Clarksburg to New Martinsville
will also carry lot of coal from that
vicinity to the Ohio river over that
line and this will also draw from as
far down as Fairmont itself to the
Ohio river by that outlet. Taking it
all in all there will not be great deal
of coal pass down the river even after
the completion Of the locks. 1t will
make transportation between this
place and Farmont much cheaper
than it is at present and the trade
that will grow up between the towns
and intervening country will be quite
large.
