MORTALITY WOUNDED.
Shooting ARRAY at Fetterman.
Eighteen Arrests Made,

GRAFTON, w. Va, Jan. 17.-Fet-
Uerman, suburb of this city, is be-
coming famous for its murders. A
month or more ago man was shot to
death there for trifie by his neighbor
who escaped. Sunday night party
Of five young men from Grafton went
down there to attend a revival meet
ing and incidentally to talk to some
of the pretty girls.
This aroused the jealousy Of some
of the Fetterman young fellows, and
as the Graftonites were returning
after the services they were fired upon
with revolvers from ambush. One of
the shots mortally wounded Calvin
Thomas, aged Is by going through
his lung. He is still alive, but will
hardly survive the night. Eighteen
arrests have been made and three re-
volvers found in the crowd, but the
guilty party is not yet known. There
is much excitement over the affair.

MUST SAVE FUEL.
Instructions issued to fireman and en-
gineers of the Baltimore 4 Ohio
railroad-Abatement of smoke.

instructions have been issued to the
fireman of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad looking to the economical
use of fuel and an abatement of the
smoke nuisance. The instructions
were prepared by an expert and state
that the formation of smoke can be
prevented by careful firing. The in
structions state that lone shovelful
of coal at time scattered over the
fire, with the door left partly open a
few seconds TO admit air TO mix with
the gases of the green coal will cause
the smoke to be consumed.
1.-THE practice of charging several
shuvelfuls of coal at time should be
avoided and frequent firing practiced
with no chance OF mixing with suf-
ficient quantities Of air to insure per-
feet combustion, and the temperature
of the fire box is lowered. Large
Jumps of coal should be broken into
small ones before being charged into
the fire box
Engines should not be allowed TO
pop off, as 1t is wasteful and can be
prevented by applying injector or
closing ash pan hampers. Enginemen
and firemen are also cautioned by the
operating department to obey the
following instructions.
"When approaching a station where
a stop is to be made or descending
grade, no smoke must be allowed to
show at stack, the blower should be
applied and furnace door partly open
and both so regulated as to prevent
the formation of smoke. On approach
ing tunnels, fires must be sufficiently
replenished before hand to avoid firing
through tunnels and the consequent
formation of smoke, the furnace door
being closed while passing through
tunnels. The drumming noise made
by locomotives should be prevented at
stations: this is accomplished by adj
mitting air to fire box.

MASTERING OUT.
Extra pay allowed officers and men
Why they are discharged.

A letter has been received at the ex-
eeutive office from the United states
adjutant general relative TO the re-
quest for the discharge of Chas. b.
Spencer, of Company X, First West
Virginia regiment. The adjutant
general expressed his willingness to
secure the discharge of Spencer. but
said that the regiment would be soon
mustered out and that by being re-
leased now Spencer would lose a
months pay that he would get by re-
naming in the service until the whole
regiment is discharged. Under the
orders made, officers and privates are
allowed an additional months pay
when they are mustered out. This is
given those who serve in this country
and two months pay is allowed those
who have seen service outside of the
country.
There has been butOne man in the
First regiment who will come under
the latter head, and that is VIM. r.
Crawford, of Wheeling, who served
on General Brooke's staff in Porto
Rico. The regiment will undoubtedly
be mustered out in camp at Columbus
Georgia, as a rule has been issued for
the soldiers who are home on furloughs
to be mustered out wherever they
may be.

Revival Notes.

Last night Was very stormy one;
but an excellent audience attended
the services at the Methodist Episco-
pal church. DR.. Leech preached from
the final invitation Of the New, Tes
lament, 'sThe Spirit and the Bride say
come: and let him that heareth say
come: and let him that is athirst come;
and whatsoever will let him take the
water of life freely" He said that
Christ is the fountain from which
proceed those living waters that we
call pardon, peace, holiness and
heaven. AS there can be no healthy
physical life without pure water SO
there can be no pure spiritual life with
out the divine waters from the foun-
tain opened in the house of David for
sin and uncleanness. just as water
is vitality essential to physical purlfi
cation, so is the water of life TO moral
purity. Because of the influence Of
health men come from all lands to the
fountains of Saratoga and the Hot
Springs of Arkansas Physicians
say that much of the sickness of this
city comes from wells containing inn
pure water. Orientals sell water and
Cuban peasants sold it to our gallant
and thirsty troops before the batteries
ofSantiago. But in the teXtChrist tells
us that we can have the water of life
proceeding from the throne of God,
clear as crystal'' free Of cost; SO that
the poor and rich are on par as to
privilege. Christ said tHe that be-
lieveth on me out OF him shall flow
rivers of living water" His influence
shall be helpful to Others The poor
est man or woman in MorgantOwn
may hear Jesus saying eff any man
thirst let him come unto me-" All
may come for the text says" If any
man thirst" Isaiah says ssHo! every
one that thirsteth come We to the
waters" The fountain is available,
the human action of coming we must
take with earnestness, penitence and
trust 1t is our duty to guide the
thirsty to the gospel fountain for the
text says the church ''the bride" says
come Each member has his COM
mission in the words Let him that
heareth say come" This city could
be taken for Christ If all church MEM
bers were in tremendous earnest in
the discharge of known individual
duty. Christ told the woman Of Sa-
maria that the water Of life is eternal
in its satisfying effects, ga we'll of
water springing up unto everlasting
life" He said "Whosoever drinketh
of the water that / shall give him
shall never thirst. Just as the river
Restonica in Corseca, turns to per-
feet whiteness every article thrown in
to it's waters, SO the fountain of sal
walton washes all souls whittier than
snow. The woman of Samaria found
Jesus at the well and there brought
many to Christ: SO let us. go to the
divine fountain and then like An
drew and Philip guide others to Christ
for mercy. DR.. Leech described in
conclusion the triumphs on the death
bed Of Prince Albert, John Fletcher
and Alfred Goodman who had lived at
the imperial fountain of salvation.

Last night the Republicans had a
majority in the Legislature of two
on joint ballot. To-day the number
may be increased. Unsettled is the
best term to describe the situation.
1t would be folly to suppose that
Democrats will tamely submit to the
removal of Senators simply because
they are Democrats. No Republi-
cans will be unseated in the House
without full investigation. II there
are revolutionary proceedings the
Republicans will take the initiative.
In that event there may be Demo

for the Public-Go0d Work of the
League.
Monday afternoon, the active and
associate members of the Woman's
League of the University met and
perfected the plans for the grandest
affair ever participated in by the girls
as student body. Since the organi-
zation of the Woman's League year
ago, it has enjoyed many social and
intellectual treats, but the colonial
reception will surpass them all Feb
ruary 22nd is the date decided upon
and the reception will occupy the
afternoon and evening. Commence
ment Hall will be fitted up in colon
ial style and every active and associ-
ate member of the League will appear
in Colonial costume. Already some
of the quaintest costumes have
been planned, and the girls are very
refreshments will be served by the
colonial danes to the guests. There
will be large number Of features
connected with the reception which
cannot now be made public, but they
are all of the most delightful charac-
ter, and on the 22nd of February the
public will have an opportunity to
have the greatest number of surprises
ever collected into one day.
The greatest merit of the Woman's
League is its democratic spirit. It is
not small aristocratic body whose
social functions are confined to a few
wealthy girls, shutting out those not
SO favored, but from the beginning OF
its work, it has given every girl in
school an opportunity to have the best
kind OF time at almost no expense
