Mention has been made before of
pending trouble in the coal mines in
the PittsbuIg district, and also of the
importation of two carloads of negro
miners from the Kanawha field to Col.
w. P. Rends mines, near Pittsburg.
The Pennsylvania striking miners are
agitating for legislation to prohibit
such importation, while the operators
of that state have asked for confer
ence with their men to discuss plans
whereby the cheaper competition of
West Virginia coal may be successful
ly met. A few years ago this state
was not such controlling factor in
the coal market, but she is going on
and on, ranking fifth in the oil-pro-
ducing states, and now third, but
soon to be second, as coal producer.

Women Of the state Urge a Dormitor v
for Girls.

Now that the legislature is about
to convene, letters are pouring in to
the press from all sides, urging the
establishment of Woman's Hall
at the University. Two very clever
letters are going the rounds of the
state from the pens of two well
known Wheeling women, one a
teacher, the other physician. The
letters were called forth by the fact
that a number Of prominent Wheel
ing people have refused to send
their daughters to the University
because there are no dormitories
here. They send them where
there are dormitories, and where
there will be proper supervision.
These two Wheeling women are
strong friends of the University,
and have shown that the criticism
must be done away by the State
providing proper place for the
girls. The subject is being discuss
ed all over the state, AMI the legisla-
ture will be forcibly reminded Of its
duty. The article by Miss Clohan,
who is principal Of one of the public
schools Of Wheeling, is printed in
another column.

THE NEW ROAD.
Numerous Meetings to be Held in
Richie County.

ELLENBoRo, w. Va, Jan. 5.-The
promoters of the Sistersville, Penns-
boro and huntsville railroad, the
proposed new line to run from the
Ohio river at Sistersville, through
Taylor, Richie, Calhoun and Gil
mer counties, and intersect the West
Virginia and Pittsburg railroad at
huntsville, Braxton county, are evil
IDENTIFY in earnest in tn ,ir efforts to
get the enterprise under way.
During the coming week meetings
will be held in this county, at Ell
lenboro, Stanley, Toll Gate, Beeson,
Highland, Mole Hill and Pennsboro.
The road would be of almost meal
eulable benefit to the interior resi-
dents of the counties through which
the proposed road will pass, and the
tapping of tue vast Gilmer county
coal fields and interior timber sec
ton would be handy for Transports
ton to the Ohio river.
Richie county would probably be
the least benefited of any county
through which the road is to pass,
but the increase in the value of real
estate along the line and taxation
would make it good thing for
Richie, to say nothing of the con-
venience of railroad travel.

CAPT. CHADWICK EXPLAINS.
The blockading ships at Santiago were

New YORK, Jan. Capt. +. E.
Chadwick commander Of the cruiser
New York gave out statement deny
Ing allegations made by the Engineer

at Santiago on July were not in
proper state Of preparedness when the
Spanish fleet attempted to escape.
Engines were uncoupled 1t was stated
boilers were either empty or full of

Capt. Chadwick says
"The New York and Brooklyn have

only be used to advantage with full

1t was practice to keep steam on four
of the six boilers; the fifth filed with
water kept hot by the hydrokineter
and primed ready for firing and the
sixth cleaning. This was the condi-
ton the day of the action. The sixth
boiler, as were all the rest, was filed
with fresh, not salt water. To have
kept fire sufficient to use efficiently all
the engines coupled would have occa-
stoned an expenditure of coal which
would have forced the New York from

An unparalled rhine RECORD

Was made every day during the
period of the Omaha Exposition by
the trains Of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul Railway on its Chicago &
Omaha Short Line.
Although its trains hauled from ten
to thirteen well filled sleeping cars and
coaches each night, yet schedule time
OF arrival at Omaha and at Chicago
was an accomplished fact,--a record
to be proud of, and which has resulted
in establishing the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul Railway in the minds
of the travelling community as the
shortest, best and most reliable route
from Chicago to Omaha, as well as to
California.

Woman Suffrage in Paris.
London Chronicle

Women had the right, for the
first time, December s, of voting in
Paris. They seem to have been for
the most part little DESTROYS of ex-
ercising the privilege, the occasion
of which was the election of new
magistrates. In the Second arron-
basement only three voted and a
similar number in the Eighth Much
the same was the result in every
other ACCOMPLISHMENT, while in the
Quarter Latin, which might be
thought the very sanctum sanctor-
UNI of women's rights, not single
member of the fair sex took the
trouble to vote. The sole exception
to this otherwise general Indifference
was the First reimbursement,
which comprises the Halles, or mar
kets, where several hundred women
gave their votes.

The Battelle Oil Company is jubi-

well on the Sarah Z. Eddy farm in
Battelle district near Cross Roads
is in and has begun at rate that
will make it produce about two hun
dred and fifty barrels day. At
first the report was sent ont that it
would make twenty five only and
these who were in ON the deal felt
Disguised.
1t is seventeen hundred feet east
of a we'll that is making one hun

property of the South Penn. The
Eddy line runs near this we'll and on
the tract that the company has
leased number of other good wells

have to be drilled under the lease
and these will be started right away
This well is ahead of the develop

The South Penn has found several
good wells in the vicinity and this
producer that the new company has
is the largest that has been struck
in the county for some time.
A large number of Morgantown
people are interested in the well.
Among them are Jos. McDermott,
DR.. ID. II. Courtney, Director Stew
art, Prof. r. L. Morris, Prof. b. II.
Hite and several others whose names
cannot be secured. DIR. Courtney
and Col. McDermott went up there
when the South Penn well came in
thinking it was theirs as that report
had been sent them from Manning
ton but they soon found out their
mistake However they remained
until the drill on their location had
reached the sand and found that
they had better we'll than the first
one reported.
Those of us who are not fortunate
enough to have any oil wells can
congratulate the owners of the new
one and hope that they will get lots
more of the same kind on the lease.

They Say Nothing.

Do the city papers say anything
in regard to your locality? asks an
exchange Do they contain notices
of your schools, lodges and the hun
dreds of local matters of interest
your home paper publishes? Not an
item. Do they publish a word cal
culated to draw trade to your town
and your enterprise? And yet there
are men who take contracted views
in this matter, who think if they
don't get as many square inches of
reading matter in their home paper
they are not getting the worth their
money. 1t reminds one of the man
who took the largest pair of boots in
the box because the price was the
same as the pair that fitted him.
Take the city paper if you want one,
but don't let itcrowd the local paper
out of your home.

SOUNDS VERY QUEERLY.
Officer Says men don't want to leave the
seryice-Men say they do.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan. f.
Maj. G. D. Elliot of the Second West
Virginia regiment now at Greenville,
S. c., and Captain @. e. Morrison. of
Company G, First West Virginia, are
here. Captain Morrison was enroute
to Columbus, Ga, to rejoin his regi-
ment, after spending a leave of alb
sence at his home at Parkersburg,
while Major Elliot expects to remain
here several days.
Captain Morrison says that as far
as he knows there is little foundation
for the report that the two regiments
are likely to soon be mustered out of
the service, and he believes that few
members Of the First regiment so de-
sire. He thinks on the contrary, that
nearly all the men are anxious to be
sent to Cuba, and the numerous let
ters reported as having been sent to
the Senators and Congressman for
West Virginia, if they have been sent
at all, he says, are from relatives and
friends of the men at home, who are
anxious to have them back--not from
the men themselves. So far, dis
charges have been secured with little
difficulty, for those who wanted them
and Captain Morrison thinks If any
of the men want discharges they can
get them without the regiment being
mustered out.

ONCE MORE.
Democrats will apply for writ
of Mandamus.

Monroe county case-Order to compel
Secretary Dawson to put Logan's
name on the roIl-Yia has been placed
there by DawsOn-He arrives on the
tenth.
CHARLESTON, w. Va. Jan. 4-Be-
fore the supreme court of appeals adj
journed Judge j. H. Holt gave notice
that another mandamus would be ap-
piled for before the next sitting Of the
court. The regular time for the court
to meet next is on January II, but
Judge Brannon announced that the
court would be in session on the 10th.
The supreme court will be asked to
issue writ Of mandamus to Secretary
of State Dawson to compel him to
place the name Of j. ID. Logan OF
Monroe county, on the roll OF the
members of the House Of Delegates.
Secretary of State Dawson has put the
name OF @. M. Via, Republican con-
testant, on the roll instead of Logan's
name, and the list has been printed
and is In circulation as the correct
roll, Notwithstanding the fact that
Logan has the certificate from the
Monroe county court. As will be re-
membered Logan democrat was declar-
ed elected by majority of five by the
county court. Upon a recount the
circuit court reversed this by declaring
Via elected by a majority of four
votes.
The Republicans undertook to have
the supreme court act upon the case
by certiorari proceedings, but owing
to the rule in vogue the case could
not be heard until reached in its reg
ular order on the docket. This prob
ably would place it after the opening
of the legislature and would not ac-
complish the ends desired. Thus the
matter was temporarily disposed Of,
and has been revived by the action of
the secretary Of state in placing Was
name on the roll instead OF Logan,
who holds certificate
1t is understood as stated by Judge
Holt to the court that application
will be made some time this week.
The case will then likely be considered
on January 10th, the day before the
opening of the legislature. The APP
plication will be made by Logan.
His attorneys are Hon. J. II. Holt
and Judge A. N. Campbell.

EOR THE GIRLS.
Plea For Home For Them
While at Morgantown.

Sentiment being Worked up for Won.
ans Hall at The University-It /.
Greatly Needed and the University
will be Strongly asked for it--A Let
ter on the Subject From a Wheeling
Mountaineering Urges the Move
on the Part Of the Law Makers.
Effort is being made over the state
to work up sentiment for a Woman
Hall at the University. Some very
good things have been issued In this
direction. Among them is the follow
ing letter:
1t was considered a great advance
ment in the progress Of our state when
the doors of our West Virginia Uni
versity were so justly thrown open to
women. That there was no mistake
in this decision was fully shown by
the number of girls who awaited them
selves of this opportunity. West Vir-
ginia is slightingly spoken of as the
Mountaineer's State, and as an unde-
veloped state, but the grand success
of our University proves that we are
not behind other states in desire for
culture. The women OF our state have
shown their love for education in its
highest form.
just here arises a problem in the
college experiment Parents are anx-
ious for their daughters to be educa-
ted-equally as well as their sons, but
while they may trust boy to look out
for himself, and endure the varieties
of boarding houses he may meet in a
college town, or trust him to be true
to home training in the. many draw
backs of the clubs, knowing that any
boyish misbehavior will be passed over
and forgotten with his college days,
with the girls all is different. She
cannot pass from boarding house TO
club, and be thrown with all varieties
of people. Her very innocence may
be the cause of lasting scandal "a
gainst her fair name, which may fol-
low her through life. No, the girl
must be under a care that will protect
her at all times.
Must not the state see its duty Ia
this line, that after admitting girls,
it must care for them? This can be
done only in one way. We all know
how much better it would be for the
boys IL they were under the same roof
and same care after school hours.
Then how absolutely necessary for
girls.
We plead for dormitory such as
other state colleges provide such as
parents are begging may be given
their daughters. Education is the
safeguard OF nation. We must use
every allurement to persuade people
to be educated, then why not provide
safe place for them who long to come,
but who are restrained by the fact
that no provision has been made for
home shelter for girls?

Large number OF new students-More
are expected-170 ladies In attend.
ance-The new rule about coming
back bearing fruit-Personals about
the various members OF the Faculty
Notes Of the big school.
From Wednesdays Daily
The winter quarter of the Univer
sity began this morning with most
encouraging prospects. There are
thirty-five or forty new students in
and quite a number more new ones
will be here during the next few
days.
The total enrolment is now about
700. OF these there are about ITO
young ladies. Some of the very
best of the new students who came
in this week are young ladies, and
they have come from various parts
of this and other states. Many OF
them are able to take advanced
standing The rapid increase in the
number of young lady students and
their high character and standing
are very gratifying to all friends OF
the University.
The new chapel hour is 20 minutes
before 5 A. NJ. DIR. Reynolds, the
chaplain of the University, will give
Il course of chapel lectures or talks
on the general subject of the History
and Science of Religion, and all stu
dents who attend these chapel lee
lures regularly will receive credit
for them. This new arrangement
will doubtless have tendency to
encourage chapel attendance, al
though the hour is quite early. The
attendance at chapel this morning
was quite large.
The old students came back
promptly from their holiday vaca-
ton. The new rule as to absences
from the first days work served to
hurry the students back.
DR.. Sanders, who took his vaca.
ton during the fall quarter, has re
turned and resumed his work. This
gives Prof. Fast an opportunity to
take his vacation during the win
ter quarter, which he will do, spend
ing the time at Charleston as a
member of the State Senate
Prof. Miller, who has been very
sick for some time at his home at
Fairmont has returned to the Univer-
sity but is not yet we'll enough to take
up all OF his work. Prof. Hodges is
performing his class officer duties for
him and Mr.. Friend, Fellow in En-
glish, has been teaching his classes.
Prof. Brown who has been quite
sick with fever is much improved and
hopes to be able to meet his classes
in few days.
All of the other members of the
Faculty are in their places and the
work is progressing satisfactorily in
all departments.
