THE INSTITUTE CLOSED.
The Last Session Held at AoundsVille
Yesterday.
TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY
FOUR TEACHERS WE'RE EN-
ROLLED DURING THE WEEK.
TIL SESSION HAS BEEN A VAL
THE SESSION HAS BEEN A VAL


The Marshall County Institute which
has been in session at Moundsville
since last Monday, closed yesterday af-s
ternoon.
During the week the highest number
of teachers enrolled was two hundred
and twenty-four, which is probably the
largest number of any previous ses-
sion. There were one hundred and
fifteen gentlemen and one hundred and
nine ladies, and nearly all were in at
tendance each day. Yesterday the In
stitute was honored by the presence
of ]. R. Trotter, State Superintendent
of Free Schools; his brother, Prof.
Frank B. Trotter, vice president of the
Buckhannon Seminary, and Waitman
Barbe, field agent of the West Virginia
University at Morgantown. The ses-
sion was regularly opened by holding
the customary exercises and the first
talk was by Prof. Skinner His topic
was that OF the School room and the
grounds" He began, however, by CIV
ing a short talk on music as this topic
was crowded out yesterday on account
should be encouraged in all schools
and in the country he would favor the
teacher being a man as he could visit
the schools much better. In the cities,
however, the ladies could do the work
to good advantage and he had no
doubt but that many women are now
employed in that capacity. On the
school room and grounds he told where
school houses should be located-in-
stead of being placed where they would
be hard to reach, a good location should
be secured. The grounds should be
fenced in and the outbuildings kept in
good condition. A number of other
points were discussed after which a re-
cess was taken.
When the session was called to order
again the teachers were favored by a
solo by Miss Anna Palley of Benwood,
which pleased all.
Mr. j. r. Trotter was then introduced
who made very interesting address.
His remarks were chiefly on bribery,
however, and he told how in the diff
ferent counties the boards had accepted
brides from teachers who wanted GER
tificates. A number of illustrations
were given, and his talk was very in
teresting all through. The next topic
was that of THE Teacher" by Pro-.
Powell. He gave an outline of how the
teacher could improve and cited the adj
yantages of the reading circles, literary
societies and the district institutes. lie
illustrated many different ways on these
lines and gave the teachers many points
which they made record of. Before
the morning session c~~@l Waitman
Barbe spoke of the University, its aG-
vantages, and SO on.
At the afternoon session the custo-
mary closing exercises were the order
of the programme. The resolutions
were read and adopted, and then the In
stitute came to a successful end.
Prof Arthur Powell, the main in
structor, leaves to-day for Kingwood,
where he is engaged for the Institute
next week. During his stay in Mounds
vile he made a host of friends and his
good work attracted the attention of
everybody. The teachers of Marshall
county, however, hope to have him with
them next year.

BELLAlRE.
Budget of News Items from the Bel.
mont Co lnty Metropolis.

Yesterday morning about o'clock,
John Stilwell and Ollie Heatherington,
painters employed by j. G. Crawford,
had rough experience while working
on the new residence of S. E. Hamilton
at Indian Run. The scaffold upon
which they were working gave way,
precipitating them to the ground, dis
lance of fifteen feet. Heatherington
escaped with few scratches and bruis-
eh, but part of the scaffolding fell upon
Stillwell, breaking his left arm at the
wrist and injuring his back and hip
severely. He was taken to his home.
where he was attended by DR.. j. P.
West. Stillwell appears to be unfor-
tunate, as he was the victim of prac-
teal joke some years ago, and the in
juries received then laid him up for
months. He was sleeping on d bench
at the Standard mill al Martins
Ferry, after working out his turn,
when one Of his fellow workmen pour
ed oil upon his clothes and set them on
fire, burning him horribly.

The firemen returned from Salem at
8 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
boys took third money in the associa-
ton race, and this, together with the
jolly good time they had, they feel re-
paid them for the trip. The Bellaire
team is made up exclusively Of working
men, and considering the practice they
have had, the showing they made is a
good one The Martins Ferry team
has a number of men in it that are in
the second class, and they are looked
upon as being semi-professional in
character. Some Of them are college
athletes that have given a great deal
Of attention to sport, and it is natural
that they should be in better trim for
such test than others.

MINERS HAVE
 MORE TROUBLE Miscreant MutiIates Records of
 the Association. CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE
COMMITTEE
Makes Report, Which is Adopted by the Convention-Dolan and Lewis Withdrew from the Contest
 for the Presidency.

Pittsburg, January 12.-When the fourth days session of the United Mine Workers convention was called to order, the chair man of the investigating committee had worked on the books all night and would not be ready to report to the convention for several hours recess was taken un- til 1 o'clock this afternoon.
 Prior to the resumption of the session a sensation was sprung by the discovery that during the absence of the Investigating committee at breakfast unknown persons had entered the committee room in the St. Charles hotel and mutilated the records. Eighteen pages were torn from the ledger and carried away, while many other pages were plotted and blurred. The thief or thieves left no clue and the announcement of the outrage caused intense indignation.
 The miners officials believe that the ob- ject of the person who mutilated the books was to destroy the records from Illinois. This state had been gone over by the in- vest.gating committee and no objections were found to seating any of the delegates reported by the committee on credentials. Another object the thief may have had, it is claimed was to make it necessary to send for the cash books, it having been de- cided by the convention yesterday after noon not to send for them.
 At the afternoon session Secretary John Fahey read the report of the Investigating committee. He said he believed the creden- tias command a fair report, according to the entries made on the ledger. The lists of locals of the thirteen states represented together with the number of members and the votes to which they were entitled were read. requiring nearly an hours time.
 The credentials of the delegates from eighteen unions were referred back to the committee for further action.
 John M. Hunter moved that the report of the Investigating committee be adopted and that the representatives of doubtful localities be seated and that the commit tee be continued for any further correc- tions.
 Patrick Dolan and T. J. Lewis, formally withdrew from the contest for the presi- dency in addressing the convention in fa- vor of the motion. The motion was adopted, and the convention adjourned un- til tomorrow when the election of officers will be taken up

M'DUFFIE BEATEN.
Bikes Won Twenty-Five Mile Race in
 Madison Square Garden.

New York, January 12.-Tarry Bikes, of Glens Falls, who holds the worlds bicycle hour record, beat Eddie McDufhe, of Bos- ton, the recognized middle-distance cham pion in a twenty-five mile paced contest in Madison Square Garden very easily tonight by nearly a mile and a quarter. Both men caught the pacemakers within half lap from the start but MeDuffie was the quicker to connect and led his opponent by nearly ten yards at the end of the first mile. Then Bikes pushed his pedals to good account and at the close of the second mile he was almost abreast of his oppo- nent. In the third mile Bikes improved his advantage, and after passing McDuffie, shot ahead like an arrow from a bow, and con- tinued to gain at every push of the pedals McDuffie had difficulty in following his pace. Bikes looked to have an easy victory before the tenth mile had been covered, and at the conclusion of the twelfth mile he was more than a minute to the good.
 When Bikes had ridden fifteen miles in 91 :29 4-5 he was e,ght laps ahead and going so nicely that the race was his, barring ac- cident. Elses gained ground from the six teenth mile, and finally crossed the tape one mile and 352 yards ahead of his rival in 52:34 3-5. McDuffe finished the distance in 5615 1-5

BLOODY BATTLE FOUGHT.
Turks Engage the Insurgents in Yemen
 District of Arabia.

Constantinope, January 12-A great bat tie has been fought in the Yemen division of Arabia.
 The Turkish troops stormed and captured the insurgent position at Shanel on Mo- vember 30
 About 4,O0o insurgents and 2,OOO Turks were killed or wounded.
 London, January 13.-Special dispatches from Constantinople say that after the bat tie at Shanel, a further Turkish advance was ordered. Abdullah Pasha, commanding the Turkish troops, was directed to capture Sesbeh, the headquarters of an important insurgent leader, 150 miles northwes- of Sana. All the commanding positions in that vicinity are occupied by rebels, and as the Turkish troops are deserting the operations are likely to be prolonged and difficult.
 The trouble at Yemen is one of old stand ing, and the rebellion against Turkish rule has spread throughout Hadschin and other districts.

DISASTROUS FIRE
 VISITS MEMPHIS
The Loss as Near as Can be Es- tlmated Win Reach $450,000.
THE BREMEN WORKED HARD
But the Flames Had Too Great Start to be Easily Overcome -Originat- ,r ed in the Basement and
 Spread Rapidly.

Memphis January 12-A fire, which broke out at 7aO clock th.s evening in the whole sale and retail drygoods house of the J. s. Menken company, one of the largest estab- lishments of it's kind in the south, had caused an estimated loss of s450 000 up to midnight, and the fire was not under con- trol at that hour.
 The fife, which originated in the base ment, was by 9 o'clock beyond all control, and that part of the building under the first floor was a seething mass of flames. The basement had been built in comqart- ments with the view, in case of fire, to com fine 1t to the starting point. This could not be done tonight for the reason that for half an hour after the arrival of the fire companies they could not reach the compartments. When an opening was finally made it swas found that the fire had spread to all the compartments and as fast as progress was made in one place, the flames would multiply in another. The smoke was so dense that the firemen were unable to get .an entrance to the building for some time, and they fought the fire entirely from the outside, pouring stream after stream through the small windows into the base ment.
 At midnight the fire was not yet under control, and the loss will probably be to- tal.a The building is valued at $lS0,O0o, with insurance of $7O,OO0; the stock was valued at $500, ,000, with insurance of s2l5,0O0. As sistant Fire Chef Ryan was badly burned about tue eyes in forcing an entrance to the building. He was taken home.
 2:05 a. m.-The Cayoso hotel is Tn immi- irt peril and seems doomed to destruction by the fire, which is rapidly spreading be- yond all possible control.
