Married.


MILLS DAvENPoRT- Married, on
Thursday June Sth 1899, by Rev. S.
V. Leech Mr.. JOS II. Mills and Mrs.
Emily White Davenport. The event
was not known except to very few
intimate friends and not many of
Them until the previous evening and
came as a great surprise. A half doz-
en- friends were all that witnessed the
ceremony but they made up in enthu-
siasm what was lacking in numbers.
Immediately after the ceremony they
drove to Russell's to board the train
that they might escape the usual
shower of Rice and volley of old
shoes but the train was late and the
Others of the company followed them
and held jollitication. In the mean
time Miss Mary Evans had gone to
the station and decorated their trunks
with white satin ribbon. This OF
course was a tip for the baggage mas
ter and he carefully slowed the trunk
where it could be seen and gleefully
called attention to it. Everyone en-
tered into the spirit of merrymaking
and sent the newly married couple on
their journey with many good wishes.
They have gone to Oakland to spend
the honey moon. The groom came
to Morpantown in 1890 from his home
in Lock Haven, Penna., and has been
in the employ of the Standard Oil
Company ever since and is highly es-
teemed by large circle of friends.
The bride is DR.. l. G. Whites daugh-
ter and was brought up here where
every one knows her favorably. The
NEW DOMINION joins everyone else in
good wishes.

Council devoted its attention last
night to the paving matter. They
discussed number of things in rela-

They took up the matter OF damages
and threats OF suits on the part of
property owners who we're left below
in different parts OF town.
An order was passed stating that it
was the unalterable determination of
The council to leave unpayed any street

SOME INTEREST.


The result Of the prize fight in New
York was watched with some inter-
est by local sports and they remained
up until midnight to get the rounds
as they came in. The fight from the
first as reported here showed that
9Jeffries had the better of it and the
knockout in the eleventh round was
not great surprise in view of what
had gone before.
The great odds offered before the
battle by the admirers of the old
champion showed that few people
thought before the fight that he would
be defeated. OF course now every one
thought from the start that Fitz
would be beaten.

Him to DO So.
d. r. Tappan of Fairmont who
has been the superintendent of the
local telephone district G. d. and z.
tor several years has resigned his
position on account or the press OF
his business since he took charge OF
the Watson Hotel at Fairmont. His
successor has not yet been announc-
ed.
Mr.. Tappan has made most eff
ficent and every one with whom he
has come in contact is sorry to see
him leave the service. He has built
up the business wonderfully and
probably no other man could have
done what he has done to further
the interests of the company while
be was in charge Of affairs.
However he finds that his duties
in connection with the new venture
will not give him time to attend to
the matter as it should be done and
he has resigned. The resignation
went in several days ago.

Eighteen NJ illions Added to Mania titan
Railway Stock.

New York, February 2S.-At a meet
ing of the stockholders of the Manhat-
tan Elevated Railroad Company to-day
81 per cent. OF the stock was voted in
favor of the proposition to increase the
capital stock from $30,000,000 to $4S,-
100000 A resolution was adopted au-
thorizing the expanding Of the funds
derived from the increase of the stock
in equipping the road with electrical
motive power instead of steam.
President Gould at the meeting de-
clared that the recent unfavorable acts
of the municipal bodies were clearly
traceable to the attempt of the New
York Auto Truck Company to place
their pipes containing compressed air
along the elevated structures.
Mr.. Gould said that after consulting
with his legal advisers and engineers
he decided that it would be both illegal
and hazardous to put ''torpedoes" on
the road, as an explosion Of the COM
pressed air pipes would seriously en-
danger the lives of the patrons of the
road and render the company liable to
serious damage suits for loss of life.
Mr.. Gould said no time would be lost
in installing the elevated system with
electricity.
