CLOUDS LEAVE.

But it Is Too Late to Allow us to SEQ
The MeteOrs Which Have Already
Fallen If The Stream Appeared On
Time.
OF course after the star shower was
over the clouds rolled by and left the
sky nndimmed by a single obstruc-
tion. The weather man hasn't made
any friends in this section by acting
in such reprehensible manner. If
the shower was a good one on We'd
nesday night it was not observed by
many people in the United States.
A few scattering meteors were seen
but nothing like the grand shower
that had been expected. Probably it
is loafing around somewhere In space
and will come along when nobody is
watching for the performance. The
astronomers have been straining their
eyes for several nights watching for
the appearance of the heavenly visi-
tors but they have acted in away that
is far from being heavenly in its re
suits.

In EARNEST.
Uniontown's Offer for the Glass
Plant is being Investigated.

The Offer is Very Generous One
Morgantown Glass Company will Ac-
cept 1t Unless the People Here Take
Action and That Suddenly-Ma Of
Location will be Decided ON Satui-
day Night.
Mr.. w. III. Bannister went to
Uniontown this morning as one OF the
committee appointed by the Morgan
town Glass Company at the meeting
held on Wednesday night to look after
the offer of the place for the new
glass plant. He will investigate the
offer of the Uniontown people and
will accept the offer for the company
if it comes up TO what is expected.
The Uniontown people have glass
plant ready for occupancy with few
repairs which can be readily made.
The machinery is already in place and
it is ready TO move within thirty days
from the time the contracts are made.
They offer the plant complete, the
same gas rate that the Union I'm
provement Company offers for five
years and a bonus of b5, 900.
This shows what they think of it
and how badly they want the industry
The business men down there are
alive to every opportunity and they
are determined TO keep the old town
moving forward in the development
that has started recently. The coal
interests and the radiator plant have
recently taken on new life and the
Uniontown people want to get every
thing else they can.
Morgantown however still has a
chance yet to get the industry il she
moves as she should within the next
twenty four hours. Another meeting
of the stockholders will be held on
Saturday night and the matter will
then be finally disposed of. Until
they meet it is anybody's fight and If
we make them any offer at all we can
get the industry which will be larger
than anything that we have now and
that will mean more for the town
than anything that has ever been
brought here.
The bushes men of the town are
called upon to take cognizance of the
situation and TO do what is in their
power before the chance slips through
our fingers. II they let this chance
go they have no one to blame but
themselves and it is an absolute GER
tainty that they will never have an
other that will be half as easy to avail
themselves Of.
The subscription paper is in the
hands of r. w. Anderson and if any
one wants to have the plant to come
here they have another chance to say
so and to state how badly they want
it. 1t is to be hoped that some move
will be made before it is forever too
late. This paper will regret very
much to have to admit that this town
is one whit behind its enterprising
neighbors in anything especially when
tbs case is such plain one and the
effort needed to secure great prize is
such small one.

Stars Fell Last Night.

Several observers at the University
last night report that they saw very
smart shower of meteors at two
O'Clock this morning coming from the
constellation of Leo. The shower
was the rear guard of the swarm that
was expected to reach the earth on
Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Had
the weather conditions been favorable
the observers would have been paid
more for their trouble in staying up
all night.

II foreign capitalists came here with
a proposition TO put up $50, 900 to
establish a new glass plant guarantee

sole condition that this community
should donate So, 900 in money and a
suitable building site, we would glad
ly contribute TO the extent of our
ability to raise the money, get the
site and secure the plant.
Home parties in connection with
non-residents have organized the Nor
gantown Glass Company, with $780,

the works here upon the above eondi-
tons. The Morgantown Building
and Investment Company, that Great
ed the town of Seneca, and has given
away over $50, 900 In lots, lands and
cash, has agreed to donate site, con-
tanning nearly two acres, situate be-
tween the River and the Railroad Just
below the Planning Mill and above the
Seneca Glass Plant. This property is
worth from $40, 900 to $15. 900 and Is
acceptable 60 the new glass company
1t gives the company shipping facili-
ties by water and rail. The Building
and Investment Company has never
declared dividend to its stockholders,
and while willing to donate the land
cannot give any money. 1t has done
all it can In offering the site.
Will the merchants, attorneys, and
other business men, who have made
money out of the business created by
the Building and Investment Com
pany, and who know the profits to
them of the glass and other plant
located in Seneca, permit the new
factory to go elsewhere?
You think and say there is no dan

Bowman Back From Trip.
DIR. Alfred Edward Thayer, of
New York City, has been appointed
Professor of Pathology and Bacter
iology in the University aud will be-
gin his work here the first of Janu-
airy at the opening of the Winter
Quarter.
DIR. Thayer was recommended
heartily for this position by the two
most eminent Psychologists in the
country, viz. DR.. William H Welch
of Johns Hopkins University, and
DR.. T. Mitchell Pradden of Column
bia University, both Of whom have
written the strongest possible rec
concentrations. DR. Thayer is an
M. D. from the College of Physicians
and Surgeons Columbia University,
studied two years in the Univer-
stiles of Gottingten and Vienna, was
Fellow in Pathology Johns Hopkins
University for one year and taught
anatomy for some time at Yale
University Medical Department.
He is 81 years of age, married,
and member of the Presbyterian
church.
Before going TO the College of
Physicians and Surgeons he com
pleted his Junior year at Williams
college.
The Premedical Department is
now prepared to do the first two
years work of the regular medical
course as well as it can be done any
where in the country, specialists in
Zoology, Medical Chemistry, Botany,
Pastiology and Bacteriology having
been added to the teaching force
this year The facilities for doing
the first half of full medical course
are now really remarkable.
The foot ball season has been a dis
appointment to its financial hackers,
who would like to have seen it close
the season with greater number of
victories than will be possible, now
that the season is SO near ended. The
management of the team is In the
hole about $500 for the season so far
A part Of this will be made up by the
students by subscription and it is to
be hoped that the alumni who are
friendly to athletics will make some
contribution for this purpose.
There is an effort on foot to organ
ize basket ball team. This is a
branch of college athletics that has
been neglected here, due probably to
the fact that it is only in the last
year or two that the gymnasium has
been properly equipped and that the
game could be played.
A golf club has been organized by
Miss Daniels, Miss Clark, Prof.
Thompson and other members of the
University. The golf links are a
mile or more out the road toward
cheat.
Hon. Stewart II. Bowman has re-
turned from Grafton, where be was
called to testify in the protest of
Hon. John T. McGraw against the
seating Of N. B. Scott in the United
States senate.

Elkins' Plans.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 17.-Definite
plans are under consideration for the
sale of the city's holding of 1900
shares of the Western Maryland Rail
way Company to syndicate of New
York capitalists.
Mayor Hayes says that the New
York syndicate proposes to make a
competing line to Chicago, having the
line rs miles shorter than either the
Pennsylvania or the Baltimore and
OHIO. They expect to reach the coal
fields of Ohio and West Virginia.
They will build 123 miles of new road,
and will use existing roads.

The West Virginia Central, at the
head of which are Hon. Henry G..
Davis and Senator Elkins, has been
trying for long time to secure con-
troll of the Western Maryland road,
in order to give it an outlet 20 the
seaboard independent of the B. & o.,
which now carries most of the coal
mined along the w. Va, Central, and
it is probable that the syndicate which
is now after the road is one backed or
created by the w. Va, Central.
In recent interview Senator FL
kins has said that new railroad will
be built from Pittsburg up the Mon
ongahela river to Clarksburg. From
there road will be built to connect
with the W. Va, Central and the
latter is to be extended to connection
with the Chesapeake & Ohio in Poca-
hontas county. The connections are
all controlled by the Vanderbilt in
terest and it looks as though the Van
derbilt system with the West Virgin
ia Central would become formidable
rival for the B. & O. not only in this
state but for thorough business.
