PROF. 4. L. puRlsTos DEAD.
Dies at smifhfeId on Saturday Even
ing.

Prof. A. L. Purinton died at the
Mathiot homestead at Smithtield
Pa, on Saturday evening, August 9Th
about 80. The announcement of his
death was great shock to his many
friends here few knowing of his
serious condition.
About two years ago his health
began to fail but at times he seemed
to be perfectly well and none thought
he was so soon to be taken. Last
winter he was sorely afflicted with
boils and up to May suffered from
eighty of them.
Early in July he came to Smith
field, Pa, to the Mathiot home
around which fingered many pleas
ant memories thinking the healthful
air would cure him. Soon after, he
was taken with a severe attack of
gastritis and gradually grew worse
until death relieved him.
Prot. Purinton was As years of
age. He was practically native
here as his parents moved from
Smithfeld to Morgantown when he
was an infant and he lived here I'M
til after his graduation from the
University in 1875.
After that he became teacher in
Marshall College at Huntington
where he remained few years, leav-
ing there to become superintendent
Of he city schools of Parkersburg.
This position he filed with marked
ability until asked to accept chair
in Wake Forest College, North Car
DINA. From this place he went to
the University of Nashville to ac
cept the chair of Chemistry which
position he filled at the time of his
death. He was man of rare integ
rity, of clean, upright life, an earn
est cburchman, careful and eonseien-
tious in everything he did.
Many people in Morgantown feel
personally bereaved on account of
his death for he was widely known
and universally loved. No one could
know him but to love him.
There were eight children in the
family seven of whom are now dead,
DR.. d. b. Purinton, President Of
Denison University, being the only
survivor.
The remains we're brought to
Morgantown an noon on Monday
and laid to rest in Oak Grove where
the father, grand father and other
members of the family sleep. A
great many sorrowing friends were
at the depot to pay their last tribute
of respect to the deceased. Many
beautiful floral offerings were re
ceived and kilograms of sympathy
came from half dozen states. The
pail bearers were all members of the
University faculty except one.
He sleeps in peace after an active,
well spent and useful life.

Tate brought the matter of the dis
charge of the Italian 1aborers, No. $50,
No. 2O5, No. 175 and No. 81 before the
meeting of the Clinton Business Mems
Association. tonight. He read from the
article in The Spy, which told of a
conversation had by the representative
of The Spy with Charles Decesare, De-
cesare representing the laborers.
Mr.. Tate said he thought this was
the time when proof Of the misconduct
of some of the contractors might be
secured.
He brought material proof before the
association, dealing with the matter.
He earnestly recommended that the as
ISOLATION appoint a committee to see
Decesare and find if the men who were
discharged because they would not buy
groceries at the contractors commits
sary are still in town.
Mr.. Tate said that if the men who
tell the stories printed in The Spy tell
the truth, there is no reason, that he
could see, why the evidence cannot be
used before the water board, as posi-
tive evidence that the contractors are
operating commissaries, or that one of
the contractors, or somebody for him.
is operating q commissary.
Mr.. Tate gives it as his opinion that
1t is too much to expect that the bust
ness men will employ detectives to fer
ret out breaches Of the law, but he
thinks that in a case as plain as the
one seems to be, they will be negleoting
an opportunity If they do not make use
of the available facts.
Mr.. Tate has been foremost in prose
cutting the fight against the contract
or's commissary system He has in
vestigated the subject and finds it an
unmitigated evil to the laborer, as well
as a disadvantage to the merchants of
Clinton, who might profit somewhat by
the trade of the laborers If the latter
were not tied down hand and foot by
the men who employ them.
Mr.. Tate has several times brought
the subject to the attention of the bust
ness men. Each time they have taken
some action.
The latest effort made by the asso-
citation to abate the evil was when they
