REAL, genuine piety improves a
man, makes him better, represses
any latent disposition to lie about
his neighbors; it makes him kind
instead of malevolent, charitable in
place Of vindictive., 1t is spurious
religion, a shameful hypocrisy, a
mock piety that makes scoffers, and
skeptics and sinners of others.

SENATOR ELKINs has introduced
Dayton's new bridge bill into the
Senate. It passed the house a few
days ago and authorizes the county
court to erect bridge across the
Monongahela at this place.
IT IS said that petitions are being
received daily by Elkins and others in
authority that the second regiment
be sent to Manila. If additional
force should be needed, it is given
out that the regiment will be sent.
THE ice on the river has seldom
been as thick as it is now. People
are crossing it at number of places
on the ice which is about six to
eight inches thick. The creek is
covered with some of the best that
has ever seen on it but most of the
ice men have already filled their
houses and no use can be made of
the present opportunity.
SELDOM has show been here and
made so many friends as the Morti-
mer people have during their stay
here. They have given a first
class performance at reasonable fig
ures and the members have proven
themselves to be ladies and gentle
men in every sense of tho word. Ev-
cry one is charmed with them and
they will leave Morgantown with the
best wishes of all who have come in
contact with them.

THE Charles Mortimer company
which has been here for the last week
has Cancelled its engagement for the
coming week for Fairmont on account
of the condition of the Opera House
up there. During such weather as we

would have died in few hours if
not taken care of. The farmers can
catch them and place them in their
barns until the cold wave is over.

NEW LIFE
Instilled Into Father Meurer Council
 Young Mems Institute

An enthusiastic meeting of Father James A. Meurer Council No. 512, Young Mems Institute, was held last night in Young Mems Institute hall. in First avenue, and new life instilled into the council, which has been tagging for some time.
 The meeting was called to order by President P. H. McGowan, who made an earnest talk to the members. Addresses were made by Father Meurer, Charles J. Herbert, George J. Lautz of Louisville, grand organizer for the Kentucky jurisdic- ton. and P. J. McArdle, of Muncie, Ind.
 The meeting was well attended, and there is but little doubt that the stirring ad- dresses will have the desired effect, and will arouse the membership to action and place the council on its old-tme footing.
 MT. Lautz, the grand organizer. insti- tuted a council in Montgomery last Sun day, and stopped over in Birnlin gham to see what the local council was doing.

CONDUCTOR GROUND
 UNDER HIS TRAIN James Taylor Thrown from Ca booSe Platform. THE TRAIN WAS BACKING And Three Cars Passed Over His Body Before the Engineer Could Stop
 Supposed That Sudden Jerk
 Threw Him Overheard
THE TRAIN WAS BACKING

James Taylor, conductor on the South ern railroad, met with a horrible death yesterday afternoon about 2:30 o'clock at Brazil by falling underneath the cars His body was cut almost in two, and was mangIed in other respects. MT. Taylor lived at Woodlawn, where he had wife and child living. He came to this city about eight years ago from Columbus, Miss, where 1t is thought the remains will be buried. Since h4s residence in this city he has always been in the employ of the Southern railroad, and has always proved himself very efficient railroad man.
 No one seems to know exactly how the accident happened. MT. Taylor was stand ing on the rear end of the caboose and his train was backing over the track near Brazil. It is supposed that the train terked in some way, throwing him off the plat form directly in front of the wheels.
 Death Was Instantaneous
 Almost before the accident had been dis covered. the wheels of the caboose and two of the cars had passed over his body. As soon as possible the train was stopped, and the body pulled out But it was then too ia'e' Aoi uedth Hau peea afmoSt 1nStanta- neous. The remains were taken to Brook side and there placed on board the passen- ger train which arrived in Birmingham shortly after o'clock.
 Engineer John Orr was in charge of the engine pushing the train, but neither he nor any of the other members of the crew knew just how the accident occurred. Brazil is a mining station on the Southern railroad short distance from Brooksside, and Is at the end of what is known as the short llne'' on the Southern.

CITY COUNCIL
Will Take Up Matter of Increasing Fire
 Department

The regular meeting of the. city council will be held tonight, when the matter of increasing the equipment of the fire de- partment will probably be the most im- portant subject coming up for action.
 Chief Mullen has already prepared d statement of the needed additions, itemiz- ing the cost of each. The movement has been brought about by the merchants, who are clamoring for a lower insurance rate. The insurance companies have announced that to secure this Birmingham must nave more extensive fire-fghting facilities.
 The recommendation of the street conl- mittee for the purchase of a steam roller will be considered. and it is likely that AL derman Rainbow will have much to say on the question of the city having meat inspectors. He has recently returned from Chicago and other cities, where he went as a repl esentative of the board of alder men to investigate the different systems in vogue.
