Date Changed.

The date set for the meeting of the
State Bar Association has been chang
ed from December 13 and IA, to jan
uary 4th and 5th, 1900. The reason
that the change was made was on ac-
count of the ceremonies to be held in
the Masonic lodges in the state on
December 14th, the anniversary of
Washington's death; and moreover
the ceremonies to occur in Washing
ton and at Mount Vernon on the same
date, in which West Virginia Masons

STOPPED ENTIRELY.
Nothing at all Being Done at
the Lock.

Final Work Done During November
and Banks Shaped mp and
the Work Left for the Winter Why
the Work Has Progressed Slowly.
Reason Given not u Good One.
Mr.. John Mcdonald who has had
charge of the Improvements on the
river for his father Mr.. c. /. Melon
aid of Pittsburg has gone home. He
has been here all summer and will re-
turn next year at the opening Of the
season and will be foreman Of the
work again next season. He will
spend the winter at his home in Pitts
burg.
The work on the dam stopped the
first OF November and since that time
there has been nothing done in the
way of concreting on account OF the
weather when the work is forbidden
by the specifications. The attention
of the contractor has been turned to
the banks on either side and they have
been gotten into the best condition
possible.
They have been dressed down on
either side and gotten ready for the
winter. Everything has been done
that could be done at this season OF
the year and the work has stopped be-
cause il will not be possible to keep il
up at this season.
1t is the intention to start on num-
Der | / at the opening OF next year.
1t and number Is will be finished next
year and the hole in the dam wall OF
10 will then be closed up. 1t should
have been closed this fall according to
the engineer in charge but the con-
tractor wanted it to remain open and
open 1t remained.
1t Is claimed by some that the work
has gone on very slowly alongside OF
what might have been done had the
contractor been in hurry but he
states that it has been pushed as fast
as he could make 1t go. Those who
say that it has been slow state that
the reason for this has been found Ia
the fact that everything is high now
and that he is putting off the compile
tion of the work until a slump comes
in prices when he will push 1t through
cheaply. However he was making
good money on the job as 1t was aud
there was absolutely no reason why
he should not have worked fast even
If he had to pay more now for the
material used.

tested his capacity and gives him high
standing. Mr.. Dayton is especially
