BASE BALL CHAT.
Seneca is Fixing to win the
Game Thursday.

A Great Deal OF Interest ia the coming
Contest Large Crowd Of People CO.
ing dewn-Line up of the ream-an-
other big Excursion-fayette City
will move up.
Seneca is getting ready TO take re-
yenge on California for the defeat it
experienced at the hands of the latter
team at this place on last Thursday.
They are going down the river with
the determination to do up California
or perish in the attempt. The team
will be changed somewhat and it will
be stronger than it was when it was
beaten by their opponents and it will
play for all there is in 1t.
California will also be getting ready
to do something toward winning the
next game and the argument will be
an extremely interesting one. The
trip down viii be made on the Turn
Verein excursion which will leave the
wharf at I o'clock sharp and the trip
win be made on the Mason. A great
many people have already bought
tickets and those who havn't provi-
ded themselves with these had better
hurry up or there will be none left.
The stop will be made in California
long enough to play the game and the
crowd will then be brought back To
town as soon as the boat can come.
No one expects them TO be very late IN
getting back as no stops will be made
on the way.
The line up of the team will be
as follows.
Charles Selby, left field; G. Bow
mon, third base; Tom Pastorius,
short; William Hess, second base; j.
Wilson, center: w. Rosenmerkel,
catcher; Jake Hewitt, pitcher: Hum
bert Ireland, right field, and Boyce
Reynolds, first base. This it will be
seen is very strong aggregation.
The management is going to have
several more interesting games,
Among those likely to be played /:
one with Fayette City to be played
here. The manager of this team
wants TO come up here and has writ
ten to Manager Oponnell about it
He states that they will bring be
tween seven and twelve hundred PEG
pie up on the Beauty II the game can b.
arranged. This excursion will be tn,
largest ever reaching Morgantown ant
the fans hope that the game can b.
fixed up.

The death of Prof. A. L. Purinton
will be regretted wherever he was
known. The world misses man
like Prof. Purinton. He was schol-
ar and an inveterate worker; a man
of strong convictions and the cour
age to stand by them. He was a
man of keen intellect, deep stu
dent, clear in his ideas, incisive in
expression and convincing in argu
ment. He was one of three brothers
all OF whom attained distinction. DIR.
ID. b. Purinton, the oldest brother
is president of Denison University,
at Granville, Ohio, Dr. g. D. Purin
ton the youngest brother was dis
tinguished physician of st. Louis.
He died about two years ago. All
three were sons of an excellent Bap-
fist minister who resided for many
years here. The aged mother still
survives. Prof. Purinton graduated
from w. Va. Universit in 1876 in a
class with the following men every
one of whom has made his mark
DR.. S. S. Adams, Of Washington, d.
c., Rev. r. II. Dolllver, of Chicago,
Hon. j. p. Dolliver, of Iowa, repre-
sentative Of the tenth Iowa district
in Congress; James v. Martin, de-
ceased; and James J. Peterson, who
holds an important government posi-
tion in the Philippines. Soon after
his graduation Prof. Purinton took
up the profession of teaching. Not
long after, he was elected superin-
tendent Of the schools of Parkers-
burg which position he held with
distinction until he accepted pro-
fessorship in Wake Forest College,
North Carolina. From there he went
to the University of Nashville where
he filed the chair of Chemistry I'M
til his death. He was revered by
his students and loved by all who
knew him. In the death Of Prof.
Pnrinton we feel a personal bereavc-
ment.

A few weeks ago Patrick Fahey
private Fourth United States volun-
teer infantry, got drunk at Freder-
icksburg, Va, and had fight with
a civilian. A court-martial has sen
fenced Patrick Fahey to five years
Imprisonment. He is serving his
term, the finding of the court mar
tial having been approved. Oberlin
M. Carter, captain United States en-
gineers, the ''crack' corps of the
REGULAR army, and a gentleman of
very aristocratic and influential po-
litical connections, stole $1,500,000
OF government money. A court mar
tial sentenced Oberlin M. Carter to
five years Imprisonment likewise.
He is not serving his term like Pat
rick Fahey, however. The finding
of the court martial has not been
approved nor is it likely that it ever
will be approved. He is meeting
with every kind of leniency, and the
president has already suspended the
execution of the sentence over a
year. This, says the Pittsburg Post,
teaches US that it is wiser and safer
to steal $1,500,oo0 from the govern
ment than to get drunk and thrash
a civilian.

HOMELESS.
Town Fails to Get the Lot on
Main Street.

GoOds-Com mittee Appointed to con-
fer with the Elks about It--Lodge has
Bought Municipal Hall-Other BUSH

Ter WIN The ElkS ABOUT It--L0Oge mas
Bought Municipal Hall-0ther busi-
ness.
Council met with an unforeseen
obstacle last night at their regular
meeting. What will be done about
it remains to be seen. They found
since the meeting last week that
Huston d Domain would not stand
to the offer that had been accepted
by the town to take the lot on Main
street for town purposes.
The proposition had come from
Huston d Domain to take two thous
and dollars for the property and now
it is stated that Domain will not
take less than three thousand for it.
In the meanwhile the town had sold
the Municipal Hall to the Elks
A committee consisting of Mayor
Glasscock and Councilman Hennen
was appointed to confer with the
Elks relative to the matter and the
sale to the lodge was not confirmed.
Hon. George c. Sturgiss came be-
fore council and asked permission
for the B. q o. in order to change
the grade of Garrett street which
runs along side the railroad station
so that more sidings could be laid.
The council passed an order agreeing
to abide by any decision that the
city engineer might make in the
premises. The sidings are to accom-
modate the Morgantown q Kingwood
in it's junction with the F., M. q p.
| A. H. TAFT asked permit to place
a stable on his lot on Front street
in rear Of his residence. 1t was laid
over for one week in accordance
with the ordinance.
An order in favor of the treasurer
of the Chadwick Sword fund for one
hundred dollars was drawn This
is the towns contribution to the
money needed for that occasion.

DAYTON WILL RUN.
He Makes the Announcement
that he will be a Candidate.

fbis Term Has Healed Old Scores
and Wants the Chance again-Other
aspirants will Have TO Hustie-Men
Who Have Been Mentioned.
Mr. Dayton has made an announce
ment that will cause a great deal of
uneasiness in the breasts of num-
Der Of people in this district and
will bear out the predictions made
sometime ago by those who were in
timateIy acquainted with the gentle
man from Barbour that he would
never let go until he had to. He
will be candidate for the nomina-
ton for Congress in this district be-
fore the next Congressional conven-
ton.
This announcement is made
through the columns of the Fairmont
West virginian. Congressman Day
ton was in Fairmont recently and he
stated TO the editor of the West Viz
ginian that he would run again. The
announcement including fine piece
of sarcasm regarding the surprise
caused by it is as follows:
Congressman Dayton was in this
place last week on private business,
but he took pains to tell some Of his
friends confdentially, that he would
be candidate for reelection to
Congress No one would have sus-
picioned it had not Mr.. Dayton said
| so.
Before the last convention in or
der to grasp the coveted honor the
present incumbent of the Congress
sional seat from this district as
sured everyone that he would retire
| the next time and allow someone
else to have the nomination. The
above shows how well he will keep
that promise.
The gentlemen who have been
anxious to be named in the stead OF
the Barbour stateman will lie awake
of nights from this on in the attempt
to outwit him. Among those who
are said to be DESTROYS of having the
place or who have been mentioned
in this connection are Hon. Geo. G.
Sturgiss and Col. r. E. Fast, of this
place, U. S. G. Pitzer, Of Martins
burg, will as usual be in the ice wag
on, Judge Holt, of Grafton, wants
the plum and number of Others
would like to have the preference.
Dayton will be stronger than h
was two years ago as the sores o.
that time will have all healed He
has been astute enough to conciliat'
every enemy of Importance and h'
will have firmer hold on the organ
ization than he has ever had. Tht
man who beats him will have to rise
early and hump himself.

Major johnson is a Pittsburger by

of the late Colonel Hawkins and of the
service rendered by the Tenth Regi-
ment in the Philippines. Major
johnson said: ''Colonel Hawkins was
a gallant old soldier with plenty OF
| fighting blood. He was man on
whom the whole country looked with
pride. He showed himself in every
way an efficient and capable command
ing officer while he was in the far
East. His death at this time, when
he was about to be accorded most
glorious welcome, comes as shock tc
the whole State of Pennsylvania for
he was one of its oldest Colonies in

SNAKE STORY.
Terrific Explosion Follows Striking a
Serpent.

serpent
This is a specially good year fol
snakes and snake stories. By way
of Williamsport, Pa, comes the sto-
ry that while blasting rocks on Sat
urday man named John Ludwig
came upon large blacksnake. The
reptile was sluggish and evidently
had just Toasted, but when the quar-.
ryman secured a club it coiled itself
and showed fight. After some
trouble Ludwig approached neal
enough to deal the snake fierce
blow ON the head. A terrific report
occurred and the quarryman was
hurled violently to the ground. The
shock stunned him. When Ludwig
got up he discovered that the snake
had been blown to pieces, all that
was left being a piece of the tail
For a time Ludwig failed to realize
what had happened. Then he saw
that stick Of dynamite was miss
ing. 1t is believed that the reptile
swallowed the explosive, and that
the blow on the snakes body had
been the cause Of the explosion.
