ANOTHER INDICATION.
P. V. and G. is building a large station
at Brownsville.

Much interest has centered about
the old p. V. s. c. station In West
Brownsville this week, as it has be-
come known that the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company is negotiating for
the purchase of the entire block OF
ground where the old station now
stands. Division Superintendent +.
f. Robb has been here and looked over
the ground, and the matter is now in
the hands OF the proper authorities
for purchase.
1t is an assured fact that the COM
pany iptends building a new station
there in the spring, and the plans
which are already drawn indicate that
il will be somewhat out of the ordi-
nary in point OF size and construction.
1t is thought TO indicate very strongly
that the road will be continued on up
the river the coming summer and that
West Brownsville is to be the main or
central station on the Monongahela
division. In order to make room for
a commodious station and beautiful
grounds, such as the sketches indicate
all the old buildings now on the
ground will be torn away.--Browns-
VILE Monitor.

Chas. Mortimer.

This sterling actor closed a most re-
markable engagement at the Opera
House Saturday night playing to a
large and thoroughly pleased audience.
His engagement has been remarkable
in many respects. With the coolest
weather for many years to contend
against Mr.. Mortimer has drawn big
Crowds to the Opera House every
night. His plays have given more
than ordinary satisfaction, his own
personality entering into all and gain
Ing such hold upon the public as is
seldom seen. He has made more warm
friends among our best citizens than
any other theatrical star that has ever
visited our city. The same is true OF
the members of his company all OF
whom are the recipients Of many CON-
pliments not only for their profession
al ability but for their social worth
and intellectual attachments. We
congratulate Messrs. Mortimer and
Parsons upon the success Of the first
visit Of their company to Morgantown
and hope that we may have them with
us another season.

stated that on account of the impos-
sibility of properly heating the Fair
mont Opera House he had decided to
cancel Mr.. Mertimer's engagement 10

greeted by full houses if they decide
to do SO.

BACKBONE BROKEN.
Relief from the terrible cold in
Sight.

A few more days and the mercury will
rise again-Warm wave coming from
the home Of the present blizzard
Terrible hardships on all who have
been forced to be ont In the open air
There is good time coming.
The back bone of the cold spell is
broken. We are TO have warm
weather again. 1t will be several
days perhaps before it comes and
the full wave may get side tracked
before it hits us good and square
but we have something more endur-
able than the terrible blasts through
which we have been struggling for
the past eleven days.
The weather bureau has announc-
ed than a warm wave is on its way
east and that we will begin to feel
it shortly. The mercury has begun
to warm up and the weather may be
expected to be all right in few
days.
The jump upward in some places
has been as abrupt as the fall was.
1t went up fifty degrees in one place
and forty in another The wave is
all over the country and is wedge
shaped. The southern part of the
state is getting the point of it to-day
and we may expect it to morrow.
The warm wave has come from
the same place as the cold one we
are now having and as the factory
knows what it is doing the chances
are that it will be a first class one
If there is no rain the snow may be
expected to go off gradually with
out any disastrous floods but If a
rain comes with the increasing
warmth the consequence will be
very disastrous.
The ice on the river is very hard
and thick and it will tear everything
out of its way unless it is softened
before 1t starts. River men are
very much alarmed at the outlook.
Stockmen and farmers are very
glad to learn that the weather is to
moderate People have hard time
OF it in the open air such days as
we have had. Coal is running short
in many places and the water pipes
are exploding in every direction.
The only people who have enjoyed
it are the people who have sleds to
hire and the ice men. Both of them
see that they cannot have much
more fun out of it as the memorable
cold snap of February '99 is on its
last legs If we are to believe the
weather reports

THE HONOR LEAGUE.
Resolution Passed for the Members to
Report all Cases Of Cheating to
the League.

The Honor League Of the Univer-
sity has bad another meeting and
passed resolution that has created
considerable comment among the
members and outsiders. 1t is to the
effect that any member of the league
seeing a student cheat shall report
him to a committee of the league for
action. A resolution including only
members Of the league to be reported
was voted down.
The friends of the plan which pass
ed say that it is the only way to rem
edy cheating and the opponents are
certain that it is not the way to do at
all At future meeting Of the or
ganization the matter will likely be
taken up again and further action
taken on it,

SMALL BLAZE.


The School of Music caught fire
on Saturday evening but was put
out with little trouble and without
calling out the fire department. Prof
Keene on going into one of the
rooms found the mantel on fire from
the heat of the gas which had been
turned ON full in the CRATE. The
place was beginning TO blaze strong
ly but he put it out without very
much trouble The result nigh
have been serious had the fire not
been discovered when it was. The
cold weather has made 1t rather dan.
gerous IN this direction as all the
fires over town are turned on full
and they are liable to set something
on fire about the CRATES.

CONTROL OF SEX.
Monongalia Man claims to have solved
the Problem.

The Charleston Gazette speaking
of the recent meeting of the State
Wool Growers Association, has tue
following to say about resident OF
this county.
A feature of the meeting was a
paper read by G. L. Eakin,of Wades
town, on the subject, what can We
do towards controlling the sex .
The writer referred to two former
papers he had presented to the asso
citation at the meeting Of 1894 and
1897, in which he maintained that
the sex of sheep and other animals
could be controlled by regulating
the food given them. He drew at
tention to the alleged fact thai
prominent scientists of this and
other countries had made til,
same argument. He said that biz
experience in the sheep growing
business had demonstrated this the
DRY, but RETAINED from going int
details and giving the rules how thi,
might be done on account OF til,
length of time and the preparation
that would be required. He prom
ised, however, to pnblisl, the fact
later for the benefit OF the assocja
T ton and the public.

W. & J. FOOTBALL TEAM LOSES.
The Ohio Medical University Eleven
Rolls up a Score of $115

WASHINGTON, Pa, Feb. 13.-The
W. d J. football team lost its case
against the Ohio Medical university
football team at Cleveland The
case originated in a game of football
which was played at College park,
last October between the O. M. u.
and w. & j. teams. Toward the
close of the first halt dispute arose
and the O.. M. U. team refused to
continue, the captain taking his men
and leaving the field. Owing to this
the w. Il j. management refused to
pay the Ohio team the $l15 guaran
tee. Later in the fall the W. & j.
team played Adelbert at Cleveland,
and an attachment was levied on the
receipts of the game to satisfy the
claim
The clse has been taken into the
common pleas court by the w, u j.
management, where it will finally he

MANNINGToN, w. Va, Feb. IA
Furbee's mill on Buffalo street, one of
the largest feed stores In town was de-
stroyed by fire at loss of 81, 900, with
no insurance. The department was
called out at 4:10 by the fire and made
hard fight but failed to check the
flames which had gained some head
way. by heroic efforts of the MEN,
bers of the fire company the surround
ing buildings were saved. At the
time of the fire the thermometer reg
istered % degrees below zero and it
was feared the fire plug would be fro.
zen. Had this been the case the whole
end of the West Side might have gone
up in flames. The feed store was op-
Grated by Jas. S. Furbee and Chas. W.
Furbee of this city and contained sew
eral car loads of oats, hay and corn.
The fire is supposed to have been
caused by defective fiue from heat
ing stove in the main part OF the
building. The fire had in all proba.

The first annual Masquerade ball
given by the Turn Nrrein Concordia
at their club house on Beechurst last
night was great success. There was
2 very large crowd present in spite of
the inclement weather and the cos
tunes were varied and elegant. 1t
had been thought that the zero
weather would keep many people away
but few stopped for it,
The club house was profusely dec
GRATED in red, white and blue and the
arrangement of the colors showed that
the committee that did the work was
one thoroughly fitted TO the task.
The floor was in fine condition for
dancing and the Connellsville orches-
ira which furnished the music never
played better so that there was moth
ing lacking to make the affair a per-
feet success in every way,
Refreshments were served all dur
ing the evening and these were by no
means the least enjoyed parts Of the
function. The members OF the club
showed in every way that they Were
glad to have their visitors with them
and that they wanted them to have
the best time possible.
Many funny characters occupied
places on the floor and by their antics
kept the crowd In roar all evening.
The masks were removed at midnight
and there were many people who were
surprised at the unexpected faces that
looked out at them when the masks
removed.
The last of the dances did not come
until the small hours and when it did
come everyone was sorry that the
evening was spent and that the dance
had become something that was past.
The committee on arrangement and
every member of the club deserve
great credit for the way In which the
whole affair was managed and 1t has
done great deal TO bring the people
Of the different sections OF town u
gether. Every one looks toward with
pleasant anticipations to the next ball
