AFTER THE MAYOR.
People at Fairm0nt call on him to re-
sign-Other items from the Fairmont
West Virginian.

Drs. W. G. and j. A. Jamison will
soon erect two story brick building
on the site of their present offices on
Madison street.
Mrs. G. L. Skinner was the recipient
of a telegram last Friday announcing
the death of her uncle, Mr.. O'Hern,
of Clean, New York. which occurred
that morning.
Twenty odd citizens recently signed
petition and presented it to His Hon
or Mayor Hall, in substance calling his
attention to violations Of the law and
asking him to enforce said law or re
sign. The Mayor this week issued a
proclamation and placed it in the
hands of the petitioners at the same
time requiring them to make their
complaint in due form Of law, desig-
mating specifically the person who has
violated the said laws and ordinances
within their knowledge, the specific
violations complained Of, and when
and where committed. Mayor Hall
designated Wednesday as the day fol-
them to appear, but they did not pre-
sent themselves except by counsel.
Mr.. B. L. Butcher represented them
and asked for further time, promising
that they would appear next Tuesday,
that they had not yet gathered sufi1-
Gle Mt evidence. 1t is thought there
is considerable fun ahead.

Waitman Barbe arrived on Monday
afternoon after an extended absence
over the state in the interest Of the
University. The report Of the board
of visitors gives him the greater de-
gree of the credit for the splendid In
crease in the number OF students at
the University. They are right and
this was prophecy OF DIR. Reynolds
Ia his request said ssIn case this Is
done we will have six hundred stu
dents here in four years" II wis
done and the number went to eight
hundred and fifty in the allotted time.
If the credit is due to the field agent
the credit for the idea Is due to the
clear far seeing policy of DIR. Reynolds
native product of whom the state Is
duly proud.
A. Howard Fleming, of Fairmont,
has been making several trips o
week here recently and it is under
stood that the coal deal in which he
and local men are interested is far
on the road to contamination. They
have number of capitalists inter-
ested and in case they are able to
make the deal great development is
bound to follow in this county.
Col. r. e. Fast has returned from
Charleston and will at once resume
his duties at the University. He was
accompanied by his son Raymond who
acted as one of the Senate pages dur
ing the session and enjoyed the affair
| hugely. Col. Fast took very promi-
nent place in the councils of the s0lons
during his stay In the senate and has
made record OF which his home
county can feel proud.

A Good Word For Mr. Grant.


One Of the most active, intelligent
and conscientious members of the
House is Hon. e. NJ. Grant of Monon-
gala county. He looks faithfully af-
ter the interests of his constituents
and pays close attention to his duties.
ie Il scarcely ever absent from his
seat, and when not there it is safe TO
say that he is engaged ID Committee
work or other matters of equal irhpor-
lance. The people OF Mononongalia
made no mistake in choosing him as
their representative.

A Memorial from the woman's Club.

Resolved, that as Society we hereby
wish to express somewhat the sincere
sorrow which we feel at the loss of one
of our most cherished members Alex
andria Gay Brown. Hef bright SUNNY
Compartment and kindly disposition,
her intellectual vivacity and apprecia-
tive spirit, her Social and musical
gifts, her syhtathStic response 70
privilege or duty, the simplicity aid
sweetness of guileless and generous
nature, all these characteristics
made her presence with us pleasure
and her absence, a disappointment.
Thus we esteemed her, thus we shall
remember her, the youngest of our
humber and the first to obey the great
summons. -. 49,

THE MEETING LAST NIGHT.
Union Services are Growing In In.
terest and the attendance Is Very
Gratifying.

The Evangelistic meeting at the
Chapel last night was attended by
large audience. The song service
from to 1870 was very inspiring.
The audience is beginning to learn
the hymns Prof. Ellenberger's chorus
sings SO well. The sermon by Evange'
list Schoolfleld was Prayer and Con-
fession. The conditions of acceptable
prayer were given in an impressive
manner. The conception of prayer
as a message going through to the
Great Capital ran through large
part of the discourse, and many illus
trations of the things that would
aground" the wires were given. The
absence of any great revival here fol-
so long was thus accounted for. II
is safe to say many went home to ex
anime what was on the wire. At the
request of Mr.. Schoolfleld the audience
passed from the building in absolute
silence.
The service will begin tonight a.
I with a song service and Mr.. School
field will take charge at 1880. A
meeting will be held in the Baptist
church every afternoon at o'clock.

THE BRIDGE BILL.
Has Passed the Senate and goes
to the President

No good whatever Is result IRON this
plan--A new bridge Imply cannot b.
built There are smber 81 reasons
but il means the buying 81 TIVE
bridges-This VIII defeat Il = OLE
bridge should be- 'cught at snce--
People tired Of foe, ag--New bridge
cannot be bnilt AT nil.
Dayton's bill for tae building of
bridge over the river at this place has
passed the Senate and only waits the
signature of the President to become
law. The bill has been rushed through
both houses Of congress in way to
make your head swim and reflects
credit ON Dayton for the energetic
manner in which he has carried out
the wishes of the county court
The fact that the bill has passed
however does not make it any more
possible or probable that the bridge
win be built. 1t has been pointed out
in this paper time without number
that a bridge cannot be built here.
Few people are unacquainted with
tlN ASStc III tAtO SacO anu ACW iCiuSI VI
accept that statement of the stubborn
fact that the only bridge that we can
get is the old one. A new bridge is
simply an absolute impossihility.
This is putting it rather strongly
but that is exactly the state Of the
case. A new bridge cannot and will
not be built The only solution OF
the problem Of free bridge is the old
one and the solution must be applied.
Anyone who win stop for a moment
and remember that franchise pos
sessed by company is property and
that private property cannot be taken
or destroyed for the public good with
out the payment of damages to the
owner will see how the thing stands.
A new bridge will not only cost
great deal more by itself than the old
one but the further purchase OF the
old bridge will be forced on the coun-
ty. This is too we'll established to
doubt it. The old company as soon
as steps are taken to build the new
bridge even If such a step should be
taken will get out an injunction aud
an endless law suit win result II the
free bridge project is not knocked out
entirely.
The end OF 1t will be that the old
bridge will have to be taken and the
new one abandoned. The owners OF
the old bridge do not ask nearly what
they could be able to extort from the
county in case they felt like holding
us up and they should be given what
they ask. The bridge should not be
allowed to be barrier any longer.
The people demand that 1t be bought
and that it be bought quickly. They
are tired of the tardy movements OF
the county court and the member or
members who are responsible will
hear from their constituents 10 no un-
certain way when the latter can get
a whack at them.
Again the new bridge cannot be
built.
