PIER COMPLETED.
Cheat River Bridge Moving
along Nicely.

Work has Begun on one of the abnt-
ments and the Remaining Pier Bat
tie Royal Between makes Four
Blacksnakes Clean out Rattlers aud
Copperheads after Fierce Scrap.
: Grove Meeks is one of the workmen
on the Cheat river bridge He was in
town on Saturday night aud stated
that the work was going on very nice
~. The river pier is done and work
is now. being pushed on one of the
abutments and on the remaining pier.
These will be completed on schedule
time if nothing unforeseen happens.
The river pier was the only one that
could have been stopped. by rise in
the river and it was rushed with all
possible speed so as to get it out of
danger. Its completion is very pleas
ing TO all concerned. The abntments
will take longer to build but they will
not be hindered by the river no mat
ter how high it gets.
Meeks told of battle between
snakes that was very interesting and
thrilling. The workers in the quar-
res have daily fights with the reptiles
which are very plentiful and very vi
cious. Hardly a day passes but they
find one or more of the reptiles and
dispatch them.
A few mornings ago when going in.
to the quarry sight was seen that
will not soon be forgotten by any Of
those present A bunch of writhing,
Kissing snakes was seen rolling and
tumbling over the floor OF the quarry
engaged in mortal combat.
The aggregation was as big as a
barrel and they had nothing To do but
to attend to each other apparently
The snakes paid no attention to the
audience which applauded their
efforts.
Finally the fight ended by four
black snakes becoming victorious and
dispatching three rattle snakes and
five copper heads each of which was a
monster in size. The blacksnakes at
ter few moments spent in recover
ing themselves crawled off being IN
disturbed by the on lockers who adj
mired their plucky fight.

necessary to start an endless chain OF
PRAYER against the reelection OF the
present incumbent of the White
House, and this will certainly affect
thousands of church voters who gave
him their support four years ago.
And then there are thousands Of
conscientious and patriotic Republi-
cans who have been compelled to re-
nounee their party, or its candidate,
because of the bold and glaring cor
ruption which has marked its admin
istratien of public affairs, and who
will this year vote and work for Bry-
an. This condition is something un-
precedented in American politics and
is in itself more than sufficient &c
overcome the small adverse popular
majority against Bryan four years
ago.
As against this tremendous and
overwhelming change in popular SEN
timent in favor of the Democratic ma
tional ticket, the Republicans have
nothing to fix their hope on except
Hanna's corruption fund. And this
will not suffice. -Four years ago every
man who could be bought. or coerced
was handled by the Republican man
ayers. They can do no worse this
year. Bet the elements mentioned
above. who have Joined the Demo-
cratic ranks since 1896, are not pur-
chaseable. They have come over to
the Democratic party and its candi-
dates from principle and are in the
tight to stay These are the true ele-
ments of American greatness, because
they represent the best citizenship,
the highest thought and-the truest
conscience of the American people.
The issue is sharply defined between
the Republic and the Empire and the
people will win, as they have always
won every great political battle in our
history. The Bryan tidal wave is
sweeping over the whole country gain
ing strength every hour.

w. v u. WON.
Visitors Score one Tonch Down byva
Fake Pass-Varsity out Points Them
Everywhere.

Saturday afternoon the University
met Monessen and won by score Of
q to 6 in very one sided game.
The visitors scored in the second half
after half a dozen scrubs had been put
in the Varsity and the regular players
removed. They delayed the pass and
massed as if intending to buck. The
end and full back were drawn into
the play and the ball going around
the end had clear field for touch
down.
Outside of this the visitors were
never dangerous and never made the
requisite distance on downs. The
rooters were disguised with the acct
dent. The Varsity never had any
trouble with the Monessen team which
was much heavier but which was not
onto the fine points of the game.
Next Saturday the Toys go TO Mar
ietta to meet the College team at that
place. Each has now three victories
to its credit. The coming game will
be watched with interest.

Corner Stone Laid.

The Lutheran congregation laid the
corner stone Of their new church on
Sunday with appropriate exercises.
There was large crowd present 70

conducted the exercises. The church
is now we'll under way and the frame
work is going up rapidly. They hope
to be in the church before very many
months. A Lutheran church was the
first one to be built in Morgantown
occupying lotion Greenmont over a
century ago.

are giving out the most extravagani
figures. These figures to those whe
are really acquainted with the situa
ton are so absurd as to require ne
comments. Finding that they could
not bluff West Virginia into the Re
publiccn column they prevailed upon
Governor Atkinson To invahdate the
election by failing to give the pub.
lished notice required by the law.
In this way they hope to prevent
the vote of the State from being
counted. They are well aware OF
the fact that tie State will 80 Dem
ocratic by a handsome majority, and
in order To prevent this they adopted
the plan Of preventing that vote
from being counted in the electoral
college Such proceeding ought
to cause every voter in the state to
record his protest BY casting his
vote for the full Democratic ticket
The real figures OF the Republicans
claim to show that the electoral col.
lege will be close They expect, by
throwing out the vote of West Nir-
ginia. tie be able To throw the cleo
tion to President Mckinley. The
facts are, however, that Bryan will
receive straight majority without
the vote OF West Virginia. The
statute will, therefore, he regarded
as merely directory and the vote
will be counted. There is a distine
ton between directory and pre-
emptory statute. This distinction
will save that vote. unless the Re
publicans are in position where by
throwing out this they can save the
election. In such case the Re
puhlicans will show like disregard
for law to what was shown by the
Republicans in the last legislature
and by the present national admin
istration

Men Who Desire to Fill the Job
Are In Columbus Hob

Columbus, Jan. S.--Candidates for the
United States marshalship in North
ern Ohio are much in evidence here.
Three of them, Theodore Closse Hugh
Buckley and s. ID. Hollenbeck, are all
on the ground and are mingling with
the crowds at the Neil. 1t can be
stated with positiveness, however that
none of these men will be selected, but
that the appointment will go to a
Clevelander. This affirmation is made
upon the authority of the fountain head
of administrative news in this vicin-
ity, and Is correct. Who the CleVe-
lander will be is not determined. Tho
name Of former Marshal Haskell ia
much mentioned, and that of j. B
Zerbe Is also talked of, though hardly
with the same seriousness as attaches
itself to Mr.. Haskell. But that neither
closse, Buckley nor Hollenbeck will get

Columbus, Jan. S.-Complications
have arisen that may interfere with
the retention of Ray S. Kayler for COM
missioner of railroads and telegraphs,
A lot of hungry Hannaites are clam
oring for the place and 1t is stated that
the demand is now made of Kayler that
he dismiss his entire force and allow
the administration bosses to fill the
places with "loyaP Republicans.
Whether he will accede to the demand
is not made apparent. The fight is
especially aimed at E. H. Archer, his
chief clerk, who testified against Hanna
in the bribery investigation and C. M.
Runyan, statistician, who talked lit
tie too much during the last campaign.
Pressure Is being brought to bear on
the library commission to have Libra
rian Galbraith removed, but the com
mission declares their intention of
sticking to the present incumbent. Two
members of the commission are interim
appointees and the Hannaites in the
senate say that they will not be con-
firmed unless they dismiss the libra
rian. 1t is conceded that Galbraith is
an excellent official and should be re-
tanned.
