ONE By ONE
Fairmont Land Marks Pass Away--For-
tune for Fitch.

E'AIRM0NT, w. Va, December 81 =
One by one the old land marks of this
city are being torn away and in a
short space of time but few people if
any will be living TO point out where
these old structures once stood. The
grading for the new B. & 0. improve
ments here necessitated the removal
of couple Of these old buildings.
These houses were put up more than
fifty years ago. At that time the
shrill whistle Of the locomotive was
not heard along the waters of the
Monongahela, and but very little of
the present busy town of Fairmont
was then known of. And at that
time, the carpenters who framed these
buildings from the surrounding forests
probably never entertained the idea
that in few short years their work
would be destroyed to give place to a
building of any kind that would cost
as much or more than all of the town

which will greatly add to the value of

Addresses the Martinsburg High
School.

A more enjoyable address for an
hour has not been listened to by the
High School pupils for long time
than that which was given by Mr..
Waitman Barbe yesterday afternoon
at the High School at two o'clock says
the Martinsburg World. Does it pay
for youth to educate himself? Look
ing at the worlds leaders in all kinds
of work the answer must be that it
does. Will anyone do more work and
do 1t easier and enjoy more of life by
having higher education than with
out it? Observing men and women
at their work in all callings the an
swer must be Eyes.
These questions were illustrated by
anecdotes from the lives of our ia
nous men, from the occupations OF
every day life, and by beautiful and
apt figures OF speech. There was a
general expression Of regret when the
speaker finished. 1t is but truth to
say, we were all benefited, encourag-
ed, stimulated, made happier and
stronger for the work to come by hav-
ing had Mr.. Barbe with us during the
day. May we be favored with many
more visits is the wish Of all.

TWO CENTS
AN AGREEMENT
In Regard to the Facts in The
Scott Case

Has Been Reported To The senate -
The Case will Not Likely be Heard
Before February Lots Of Time Saved
by the Agreement Between The Two
Parties.
4 dispatch from Washington, d.
c.. says:
Senator Chandler is taking an active
interest in expediting proceedings Ia
the Scott McGraw contest. At his
request, ex-senator Chas. j. Faulkner
and Scott, on the one side and Messrs.
Wells and BensEtt attorneys for
John McGraw appeared before Sena-
tors Chandler and Pettus. the sub
committee OF the Senate committee
on elections appointed to consider and
report method of procedure In the
Scott McGraw contest, After con-
ference ii was decided that attorneys
on the opposing sides should attempt
TO agree upon some method OF pre-
cedure in the case. They were direct
ed to report to the sub committee on
Thursday next regarding all points In
the case on which they mutually der
sire either TO agree or TO take ISSUE
SCOTT WAVES DIRECTION.
Ex-senator Faulkner met Messrs.
discussed briefly. 1t was decided that
no objection will be made on the part
of Senator Scott to the acceptance OF
the facts which appear upon the
journals of the House and Senate OF
the West Virginia legislature; nor
will any issue he made on his part re-
garding the military Senators Getzcn-
danner and Pierson. Il was further
decided on the part OF Senator Scott,s
counsel that no agreement can be
made as TO the allegations OF fraud
and conspiracy made on the part Of
McGraw. A demurrer will be enter
ed by Mr. Faulkner upon which
argument will be heard before the conn
mittee.
WILL EXPEDITE HEARING.
The agreement will expedite the
final hearing of the case by at least
three months; as IL does away with
the necessity OF hearing evidence al
ready In hand and as TO which there is
no question.
From the present outlook, there Is
no reason that 1t should not be heard
and decided upon by the middle OF
February next at the latest.
In the Senate the Chandler rcsolu-
tion was reported favorably from the
committee on contingent expenses Of
the Senate, and was adopted. This
insures the payment In the Senate Of
the cost OF the contest.

STRONG INSTRUCTOR.
News Standard Thinks That Prof. Arm
strong is Very able Man.

In an account of the teachers insti-
tute now being held at Uniontown
the News Standard has the following
to say about Prof Armstrong:
DR.. Armstrong took up the last
period on ''The friendship of books. :"
The doctor is one of the strong in
structors of the day. His subjects
are handled with skill and he never
fails to capture the attention of the
teachers. A few of his pointed re-
marks follow: The most miserable man
is one who cannot read on rainy day
though it is to the mind what bread
is to the body; good wholesome food
is what is needed for the mind, and
this must be got from good, pure
classic books; too many children are
reading cheap books; people are more
careful about their physical health
than their mental: Micawber got a
great many false notions from life by
reading these books. The speakers
idea OF book is for the improvement
of the mind, and so it should be with
every other person.

WHY SAMUEL!
No One Would Think This of Y0u!-
Rev. Small Doesn't Pay His Debts.

Complaints have been received at
Sam Small, well known as a revival
ist, and who was an army chaplain
during the war with Spain. 1t is
claimed that the clergyman has failed
to discharge many large debts contrae-
ted by him. One charge made against
Chaplain Small involves this careless
ness in the handling of company funds
to the extent of about 5000. Anoth-
er incident is furnished by Bishop
McCabe, who alleges that he loaned
$3.50 to Chaplain Small, who had been
recommended for an army chaplain by
the bishop. The latter sought to col
lpct the loan from the department,
but without success. 1t is further al
legged that Chaplain Small also secur-
ed a piano on the installment plan
from a firm which subsequently en-
deayored to make collections from
Mr.. Small, with the discovery that
they could obtain neither money nor
instrument, which, the sellers say had
been disposed Of. The war depart
ment ignored all of the complaints
as the chaplain was mustered out OF
the service with his regiment. Mr..
Small recently filed a petition in
bankruptcy and is now engaged in a
publishing enterprise in Cuba. Any
action that may be brought against
him will have to be ventilated in the
courts as the war department. will
pay no attention to the matter.

GONE TO FAIRMONT.
Father Leaves for the
up River Town.

tees Inere 10 LOOK AFTER Ills Daughter
aud Neice- They were seen Here ON
Monday Afternoon We're at the
Pump Station--NO Further Trace of
Them Fond Information Wanted.
w. j. Bradford and son have gone
to Fairmont to look after the two
missing girls who disappeared here
last week. They think that proba
lily some trace of them can be found
up there The girls were dangh.
ter and neice of Bradford as related
in This paper on yesterday and the
day before.
Several traces OF them have been
found in Morgantown. They were
at the Standard Pump Station on
Monday afternoon. They came up
there and looked over the station tor
some time aud returned down the
board walk. The railroad had been
used in going up there.
Since then they have not been
seen in Morgantown or if they have
it has not been reported to the po-
lice. The young man who had stat
ed that he had seen them and knew
where they were staying and call
ed up yesterday evening when he
stated that he knew nothing and
that the ones he referred to were
another couple entirely. He was then
released.
The police in Fairmont have been
interested and they have joined in
the search. The father is very much
stirred up over the strange disap-
pearance but still does not think
that there has been any foul play
overtaken them.
The indications are that they left
this place although they may still
be here. Nothing has been found
out about them from Friday morn
ing until Monday afternoon and
since that time nothing has been
learned of where they were and what
they were doing. They may be in
the town and in the same place they
were duning the first gap in the in
vestigation.
In case any one knows anything
about them at any time since they
arrived in the town they will call up
the New DOMINION and notify us of
the facts.
Mr.. Bradford lives in Cass Dis
trict short distance this side of
the state line. He will be back to
Morgantown shortly and will only
stay in Fairmont long enough to
look over the town and find out If
they are there The local police are
still doing what they can to find
out about the case but they have
learned nothing OF consequence.
