 Supplying Fnipinos with Arms.
 Washington. Aug. i.-The state and navy departments are in possession of evidence which shows that Americans have been supplying Aguinaldo with arms and ammunition. Interesting developments are expected. The evil dence secured will probably cause the confscation by the government of the American steamer Pasig, now sta- toned at Manila, and Frederick w. Sutterlee, formerly of Philadelphia will have to avoid countries having ex- tradition treaties with the United States. Perhaps the scandal will af- feet other Americans of hitherto good repute, although their connection with the affair may not prove criminal.

A Remarkable Birthday Party

A birthday party was held on Good
Friday at Mrs. II. S. Hayes that was
rather remarkable. Remarkable be-
cause it was the DIST birthday of
Grandma Finnell. Few people-less
than one in thousand-ever reach
that age. Mrs. Finnell is still active
and retains all her faculties in an as
tonishing degree. She walked from
her home, the franklin House, to
Mrs. Hayes without assistance and
on this occasion had the pleasure of
meeting all her living children, viz:
Mrs. Hayes, Mrs. Fitch and Mrs.
johnson and her son G. w. Finnell.
There were present besides these,
grand children and great grand child
rem. The occasion was also the fif-
tieth anniversary of her residence in
Morgantown. Her advanced age and
excellent health give evidence of life
well spent and promise that she will
be spared to round out her century.
That is the wish of all her many
friends.

COUNCIL MEETS.


A Couple Of Permits Granted Street
Lamps and The Union improvement
Company's Stand ON Them--No more
Open Gas Jets-Welsbach Lamps
viii Likely Go kidnapping Ground
Seiected-In Rear Of old Presbyterian
Grave Yard.
Council held its regular meeting
last night and a great deal of bust
ness was transacted. A permit was
granted to James A. Davis to reroof
his residence with shingles and an
other permit was granted to A. j.
Hare to build an addition to his res
idence on Main street.
The Union Improvement company
gave notice to the council that they
would refuse to furnish gas for the
open gas jets such as are now used
for street lamps and that another
contract would have to be made with
them. They recommended the erec-
ton of Welsbach lights in their
stead.
These will be enclosed and will
not burn near the quantity OF gas
that the old ones take at present.
The company agrees to put these in
for nine dollars each and TO furnish
the gas for them at ten dollars a
year which is the same rate that
they now get for the old lights
One of the lights can be seen in
front Of the postofiice building.
They are very good ones and are
much neater in appearance than the
old ones. A committee consisting
of the mayor and recorder was APP
pointed to confer with the gas com
pany in relation to the matter.
The Presbyterian church made a
proposition in regard to dumping
place for garbage which was accept
ed. They agree to allow the use of
their land in the rear of the grave
yard on Spruce street if the council
will clean up the graveyard and fence
it neatly. The council will do this
in the near future.
There has been considerable kick
ing about this place being used for
a dumping ground but it is the only
place available and it will have to
be used. After the dump reaches
the run at the bottom of the ravine
large line of thing will be put in to
carry off the water.

THE FORTNIGHTLY CLUB.
very Pleasant and Profitable session
on Saturday Night.

The Fortnightly Club was very
elegantly entertained Saturday eve
ming by DR.. and Mrs. Leech, assisted
by their daughter, Miss Frances
Leech, who is at home for the East
err vacation.
The subject for discussion was the
Faust Legend. Prof. Truscott lead
with scholarly disquisition on the
development OF the Faust Idea in
history and literature, finding its
genesis in the times when sorcery
was science, and the Black Art a
handmade of Religion; tracing its
evolution from mere vulgar traffic
in spells and charms, to the dra-
matte intensity and artistic com
pleteness of Goethe's masterpiece.
Prof. Mckenzie followed first in a
talk on "Hell'' as depicted by the
poets-notably Dante and Milton
and then, on the Faust Theme as il
has expressed itself in the music OF
Gounod, Berlioz and Schumann.
In turn, Mrs. Printz gave fine
thoughtful paper on the categorical
significance of Goethe's Faust, and
Miss Villa Brand, who acted as the
interpreter of NARROW, made good
point as to the ndoubteds influence
of Marlow's Faust upon that Of
Goethe.
