FROM FAIRMON 7.
A Few Notes From the Up River Town

icW NOtcs TTOnl Tie Up RiVeT town.
The following items are from the
Fairmont Index;
Miss Villa Butcher and Mr.. Her
schel Rose, both graduates of the
Fairmont Normal, are on the pro-
gram for the contest between the
literary societies of the West Vir-
ginia University, to be held in June.
On last Monday morning Dr. j.
e. Dowden shot dog on the South
Side, which showed every evidence
of being mad. 1t is not known by
whom the animal was owned, but it
had all appearances of dog affected
with hydrophobia. We suggest that
the resolution to mussle every dog
in the city be strictly enforced.
The newspaper boys are accusing
Governor Atkinson of getting a lit
tie sweet revenge from Senator Cole,
of Lewis county. Cole was treasur-
er of the Hospital, an office which
paid very little salary. Last winter
he would not vote for Governor At
kinson tor Senator. A few days ago
the Hospital Board had meeting
and Cole was summarilly bounced.
Wonder if the position of Monon-
CALAIS representative had anything
to do with the removal of Mrs. Howe
as Matron and the putting of Mrs.
McIntire, a relative of the Governor,
in her placer How broad and mag
unanimous our Governor must be.
VIM. Marks, barber, who had
been here for some time past, en-
ployed at Hi Meade's barbour shop,
was killed on last Sunday afternoon,
while on his way here from Grafton.
He had been to the above named
place on that day and boarded a
freight train in the afternoon, with
the intention Of stealing a ride home.
The accident occurred about one
mile above the yard limits 1t was
at first reported that he had been
thrown from the train by the con-
ductor An inquest was held over
the body. and as there was no one
to prove this supposition, it was de-
cided that be had met death by ac-
cidentally falling from the cars, and
the case was dropped. The body
vas horribly mangled. Deceased
was married and his wife and three
children reside at Keyser.

The Wheat Crop.

The Government crop report shows
a comparatively low average condition
of winter wheat. 1t is not so bad as
some of the unofficial crop advces had
foreshadowed; but an average of 77.s
in April is lower than any other, with
three exceptions, in seventeen years.
Those three years I8S5, 1893 and
1880 were years of comparative small
crops of winter wheat. While it is
still possible that fine weather here
after may improve the outlook for the
crop, it is a significant fact that the
condition Of wheat in the past seven
teen years has been higher in July
than it was in April only four times
From present indications, therefore
and judging by past experience al
well, it will not be safe to build upor
anticipations of big wheat crop
1t is too early, however, to forecast
the probable harvest.

The board of regents was to have
met to-day and a eession was expected
10 havs been hSld this morning but
no Quorum turned up and it had to be
deferred until the afternoon. Regents
Lee, Mcmahon and Eastman came in
on the morning train and the rest are
expected this afternoon
As far nc heard they will all be here
and some very important business is
10 be transacted. Those who are here
spent the morning inspecting the va
rous buildings and grounds and get
ting acquainted with the work that
they will have to take up during their
visit here.
They visited the University and the
Experimentation and are well salts
fed with what they have seen of the
material aspect Of things. They
looked into the question of additional
grounds and have held several consul
tations with tie owners of the real
estate that 1t is desired to have and
viii likely take some action In this
direction before they adjourn.
The legislature ct its recent session
refused to make any appropriation
toward such an end but the need is
so pressing that the board cannot al
low it to go unnoticed. More ground
will have to be bought before any OF
the new buildings can be located and
nothing can be done in any direction
until the ground is provided for.
This will likely take the first atten-
tion of the board and they will proba-
bly, act in this direction before they
do any thing else.
The plans for the new buildings
will be submitted to them and they
will very carefully examine them and
make their decision in regard to them.
This may take some time and 1t will
probably be the last of the week be-

President Sturglss was seen this
morning aud asked about the meeting
and he out lined the work that is to
be done as far as he knew. The pur-
chaseof grounds and the agreement
on plans for buildings were all that
would be taken up as far as he could
tell at present. He was asked about
the rumor current on the street that
DR.. Raymond intended to tender his
resignation to the board at the recent
session.
He stated that it was absolutely
without foundation. That the resig.
nation would not go in and that II 1t
did as far as he was concerned the
board would not accept it.
The other members of the board did
not express themselves on this phase

She gave up her life that fake
might be perpetrated.

Bloody coat, hat, razor, handkerchief
and hat found In the Tower end Of the
town this morning -Great tale Of
murder started In few minutes
Investigation showed how bald was
the fake-Description OF the articles
found Chief Bennett has them la his
possession.
The police have investigated a
reported discovery in the lower end
of town which at one time created a
great deal of excitement on the
streets but which was Gained down
a great deal when all the circum
stances were looked in to. A Bloody
coat and hat were discovered and
reported to Chief Bennett. The
scene of the discovery was near the
Mechanical Hall and a great many
people went down,
A black coat covered with blood
was found. Near it lay an old ra-
zor also libefi Ily smeared with
blood. 4 handkerchief with num-
Der of red blotches on it was with
the coat and hat with several wigs
Of hair lay near the rivers edge. A
trail Of blood led from the articles
to the river.
In the coat pocket was found a
pocket book This book contained
card with Comp. of. l.. Keener,'
written on it. Several addresses OF
people in different parts of the coen-
try were also in the book One OF
the cards bore the name OF Miss
McCreacken. A news paper clip,
ping relating to the alleged discovery
Of the lamented Major was in the
book.
An empty whiskey bottle dccompa.
MED the relics and was rellgiously
preserved. At first glance the arti-
Giles made very grisley array and
many were the reports that were
started about them. A very superb
cial examination showed that there
was very little in 1t.
There was chicken feathers ON the
coat and the pool was presumed to
have come from the same source.
The hair in the hat was evidently the
combings of a womahs hair and not
that belonging TO a man such as
would have worn the hat. The sig
nature on the card was not that OF
Major Keener by great deal and all
the circumstances showed that some
one had concluded to have a big SEN
sation by placing the articles where
they were found.
Had the plan been worked little
more scientifically it would have sue
ceeded better, but it was too,bunglingly
done. The police win pay but little
further attention to the mat ter aside
from further satisfying themselves
that il Is all fake Of the dittlest
kind.

oil instead Of Gas.
Parkersbure Sentinel

Hon. e. M. Grant, of Morgantown,
arrived in the city last night and left
for Elizabeth this morning to look
after the Bumgarner gas well neal
Elizabeth, which Mr.. Grant and 9th
ers purchased some time ago for 81
500.
1t is said that the big pressure OF
gas, which the well showed when pur-
chased, has entirely disappeared and
the well has filled up with oil, even
making flow Saturday.
1t is thought that the we'll has
drilled itself in and may make "a pro
ducer for the owners, who bought the
leases on all the contiguous territory.
The well will be watched with much
interest.

When the state did not act very
nice toward the geological survey
those at the head Of it did not slight
the work they had in hand. They
have given us very valuable produc-
ton as the first report. A synopsis
of the work done and contained in
this report will lie found in another
column. The Morgantown people
who were interested In this have great
cause to be congratulated for the ex-
cellent showing that they have made
in the face of all the difficulties under
which they have had to work. The
report alone is worth more to the
state than the whole amount which
would have been expended by the
state on the survey. A feeling OF
enmity to the survey because the
main offices were located In Morgan
town cut off the appropriations asked
for and badly crippled the under TAX
Ing. However future legislatures will
see the thing ia different light and
Ill DO the proper thing by the survey.
