Yours Truly,
WALTER A. MEsTREZAT

Mary and Ella Day, aged s and Is
years, respectively, daughters of Rev.
r. n. Day, Methodist preacher,
were drowned in Shaffer fork of Cheat
river in sight of their home, five miles
above Parsons, Tucker county, FRIDAY
evening. The girls were fording the
river on their way to the store, both
being on the back of the same horse.
The river was much swollen from the
recent rains, but all went well until
the horse fell, throwing both off his
back. All sank, but soon came up
some distance down the stream, Che
struggling girls having hold of the
animal. one by the name and the
other by the tail, and were on the
road to safety when the horse fell
again. The grasp of the girls was
doosened, and both were drowned.
The horse, too, went down in the
swift, roaring current. The father
was on the shore and witnessed the
accident. He tried to reach his
daughters in a skiff, which sank, and
only by hard swimming against the
swift current was he able to save him.
self. The body of one of the girls
was recovered six miles down the riv-
er, but the other has not yet been
found. 1t is feared the father may
lose his mind from excessive grief.

STRONG FOR SCOTT.

Senator Elkins Using Influence for his
ColIeague-Votes Lost by Commits
sions in the Volunteer Army are En-
tering Into the COntest--DecisiOn Of
Judiciary Committee.
If Senator Scott, of West Virginia,
is not ouSted from the Senate it will
be because of Senator Elkins' power
full influence, says the Pittsburg Dis
patch (Rep.) The Senate committee
on Privileges and Elections, which has
the Scott election case under consid-
Grafton, is said tn be almost Of one
mind as to the invalidity of Scott's
credentials.
AS matter of fact, as the testimo-
ny before the committee shows, Sena-
tor Scott did not receive majority Of
the votes of the joint assembly. The
record indicates upon its face, and no
one disputes it, that the Legislature
consists of 81 members, and that Sen
ator Scott received but As votes, less
than majority. Two of the votes
given to Scott were cast by State Sem
ators who had, by their acceptance Of
commissions in the volunteer army,
vacated their seats in the legislature.
This is strong point made by the
contestants. The judiciary commit
tee of the House of Representatives
held that General Wheeler, by accept
ing commission in the army, had
vacated his seat. No matter what
turn the report of the Election Com
mittee may take, the influence of Sem
ator Elkins, which is more potent
than that Of any individual Senator,
may be sufficient to prevent the Senate
from turning out Scott.

MeDermOtt and Bannister are Behind
The NoFe-Haye Bought Lots in
Seneca Houses will be Modern In
Every Respect-Moye Should be I'M
i.ated by Other Moaied Men.
One of the many evidences OF Nor
gantown's growth and the building
boom that we are to enjoy during the
coming summer is afforded by the
statement that Col. Jos. McDeTmott
and Frank b. Bannister are getting
ready To let the contract for ten new
houses on Beeehurst. They are to be
ready for occupancy by the fist of
April.
The plans were gotten ready for the
bidders to-day and they are now dgur-
ing on the bids for the houses. AS
soon as the bids can be received
the contracts will he let and every
effort made to push them to compile
ton.
The lots were secured partly from
Mr.. Sturgiss who sold seven of these
and partly from the B. & I. Company.
They lie between the Falling Run
bridge and Tough Bros. shops The
| locations are admirable and the houses
will add very much to that end of Sc
neca.
They are to cost about $1,000 each
making with the lots $500 each.
They will be rented at $15 month
and will be let exclusively to the
workmen Of the Morgantown Glass
Co. No Others need apply.
The workmen for the new factory
will soon begin To arrive 10 Morgan
town and this is the first move on the
part OF our monied men to get ready
for them. They will need a hundred
houses and where they are to go is a
mystery unless the example that is
being set is followed by a great many
more people.
The demand for houses was never
greater and it will grow during the
coming month unless there is at once
great rush Oh the part of the builders
to meet it. They will have to hustle
If they can find places TO put the peo-
PIE and with all possible speed will
leave many people without homes
when they get here.
/ The work on the new factory is
progressing nicely and if good weather
comes the stone work will be done
within week. The carpenters are
hard at work and are making very
fair progress. Tho brick and stone
work is at a stand still
The factory will not get started as
soon as was hoped but it will be ap-
preciated just as much when it does
get down to business.

WESTON. w. Va, January 3d.
To-day is the first time in thirty years
that the yellow flag smallpox warning
has been displayed in Weston. The
case is Andy Shearer, located in the
southwest portion OF the town. A
pest house is being built on Town
Run, nearly mile out. Shearer will
be moved there as soon as the build
ing is ready. There are two cases at
Edmiston-Jas. Hamrick, a school
teacher, and his sister. Their home
is quarantined.
The Insane Hospital quarantine
will be made more rigid to-day.
DR.. Flowers, Of the State Board OF
Health, passed through at 5 o'clock
this evening, en- route TO Buckhannon.
He is of the opinion that the quaran-
tine enclosing the town of Buckhan-
non could be lifted and placed only
upon the home afflicted. There are
several drummers tied up at Buck
lannon's.
The quarantine here is only on the
house in which Shearer lives. The
Weston public schools were closed to-
day.
Up to this time there are thirty-two
cases in the four counties, Lewis, Up
shur, Richie and Harrison. Braxton
county is quarantined against Lewis,
Gilmer and Upshur counties. The
county court placed twelve guards
with power to deputize any help nee
essary, to enforce the quarantine.
