ed this company was promoted to
Lieutenant Colonel of the 9Th regi-
ment the subject of this notice was
promoted to Captain. Capt. Thomp-
son died late Wednesday afternoon in
his recently re- modelled residence in
West Morgantown. He was perfectly
content to give up mortality; he had
no fear of death and no regret when
he realized sometime ago that his
earthly career would soon end except
that induced by the thought that he
must bid a long farewell to his family.
He possessed an unusually strong in-
tellect and wonderfully retentive
memory. He was always joyial and
ever generous to a fault. He owned
valuable property in West Morgan
town and also in this city. There
survive him his wife nee M. Alice
Riggs, his son Samuel V. and his
daughters Mrs. Harry d. Lindsay and
Miss Lottie w. Capt. Thompson was
brother Of Col. f. w. Thompson
and Mrs. Dorcas ]. Raymond of this
place. His death will cause deep re-
greet to his many soldier and personal
friends here and throughout the state.

WITH THE BEST.
W. v. U. Said to be Even With the
Leaders.


Leaders.
Sundays Dispatch has the following
interesting remarks in discussion OF
the college base ball teams:
The Westminster team has been the
great surprise of the last few weeks,
and from present work is undoubtedly
the pick of the college mines.
Washington and Jefferson, which
was all along reckoned as one of the
strongest, has evidently weakened
somewhat, although in the two recent
defeats sustained at the hands of AL
legheny- College and Westminster the
team would have no doubt made a
etter showing if Nesbitt had been in
the game. Nevertheless the teams
atest work has been disappointing
md not up to the work in the first
part of the season. The superiority
of Westminster as shown in the last
game between the two teams can hard
ly be questioned by the energetic
Washington and Jefferson rooters.
OF the other college teams that Of
the University of West Virginia must
be classed with Washington and JEFF
ferson and Westminster. 1t is an
open question as to whether West
minister or the University of West
Virginia is the stronger team, and al
though Washington and Jefferson de-
feated University Of West Virginia
earlier in the season, on ent form
it is likely the latter cOul turn the
tables.

cursiOns from Everywhere.
The celebration of Mechanics Day
at Point Marion on Thursday was a
very great success. The town was
literally damned from morning until
late at night. Several thousand came
into town on the railroad and there
were several excursions on the river.
Uniontown turned out the largest
number Of any town that sent delega-
tions sending up fourteen hundred and
thirty one people.
Excursions came from other towns
as far away as Scottdale and on the
river from Charleroi and Brownsville.
A boat came to Morgantown and took
a number down while Others went
from here by rail.
The day was spent. in dancing and
kindred amusements. Il base bal
game between Vanderbilt and Union
town was started but after playing
several innings joint debate was
started that ended the game and the
interest of the spectators.
The excursions were scheduled tt
leave the Point at eight O'Clock but i,
was later before the last one pulled
out with the tired people who hat
overrun the town all day.

Accepted the Proposition.

The county court has agreed to
the proposition made to them by
the council in regard to the piece OF
oil road way from Front street to the
bridge and it will be paved at once.
The town is to pay for the curbing
and grading while the county is to
pay for the brick and for laying
them. This will add another piece
to the paving in town and will take
care of what other wise would
have had to be looked after by the
county.
Everyone congratulates the court
of having taken this step which was
in every way wise one.

VALLEY ALL RIGHT.
Bonds Voted Without a Great Deal Of
Trouble-Majority Not Large But
COmforfahIa

The result of the vote in Valley
district of Preston county was vic
tory for the bonds. They did not get
as large a majority comparatively but
they carried them through which is
the all important fact. The fight
was very hot one and many people
thought that the bonds would not
carry on account Of the extreme stub
bornness OF the opposition.
The Total vote was 2S1 for and 1877
against the issue OF the bonds. Fiji
teen thousand dollars was the amount
asked for from Valley district. They
will be added to the sum given by this
district and will place the promoters
Of the road in position to build the
railroad.
The people who are behind the plan
are very much pleased over the way
things went.
