Card From Mr. Goodwin.

The statement having appeared in
the Morgantown Post that the suit
which has been instituted against Dr.
Raymond by DR.. Hartigan was chased
upon DR.. Hartigan's recent removal
from the University faculty. the
following statement is made by Dr.
Hartlgan's counsel:
The statement is false and without
, any foundation in fact. Col. Arnett
of Wheeling, the firm of Frazer &
Frazer and Charles A. Goodwin O.
Morgantown were instructed by DR..
Hartigan to bring an action against
DR.. Raymond in last October
We deferred bringing suit until
this time without reference to DR..
Hartigan's wishes but acting solely
and entirely upon our judgement as
his attorneys.
This suit is not based upon Dr.
Hartigan's removal from the faculty
Of the University but upon false, ma.
Iicious, scandalous, insulting and de-
famatory allegationsi made by DR.
Raymond concerning DIR. Hartigan':
character and rejecting upon him and
his family. CHARLES A. GOODWIN.

CARR. HOLLISTER.
Marriage Of Prof Joseph H. Carr And
Miss Florence Ange HOLSTER.

NEW YORK CITY, Friday, Dec. 81
1t was my good fortune, at the
earnest request of Prof. Joseph w.
Carr of the West Virginia University,
and Of the parents OF the bride, to
attend the brilliant wedding last even
ing, when the beautiful and accom-
plished Miss Florence Apge HOLSTER
was married to the West Virginia in
structor in German Literature. The
bride is but twenty years of age, and
is the youngest daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. II. Hollister, prominent mem
beers of Park Avenue Methodist Epis-
copal Church. The elegant residence
was elaboratly decorated with Christ
mas greens. The marriage service
was impressively performed by Rev.
DR.. e. S. Osbon, the brides pastor.
A fine orchestra rendered music
throughout the evening, and the we'd
ding supper was served in magnificent
style by the leading caterers of New
York. The presents were very numer-
Gus, appropriate and beautiful.
The parlors were thronged through
out the evening with prominent men
and charming women, elegantly dress
ed.
Not being personally yersed regard
ing bridal attire | made inquiry on
that subject, and friend responded.
"Her dress is Of white tucked satin;
her veil is tulle; and it is gathered
with orange blossoms. She wears a
shirred chiffon and yoke and sleeves
of appliQued lace. The splendid boz
quet is composed of white roses and
lilies of the valley" Now If this
statement is not perfectly correct then
| must have forgotten some part of
the brides elegant apparel. The
Maid OF Honor was Miss Helen THAN,
fair cousin Of the bride. She was
gowned with exquisite taste, in pale
blue satin, and she carried a boquet
of pink roses. The "best man" was
Edward NJ. Strothers, who recently
visited Morgantown and speaks we'll
Of our little city The six ushers were

They were Messrs James d. Arnold,

Mrs. Carr is spoken OF by the guests
as a young lady of lovely character,
winsome manners and superb social
refinement. She will be warmly well

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
NO TICKET NAMED.
Republicans Talk of Available Timber
for Municipal Ticket.

The republicans had another
meeting last night to talk over the
matter of naming straight munich
pal ticket. The executive committee
has concluded that this shall. be
done but there is considerable kick
ing on the part of the conservative
and fair minded element and they
will make trouble some factor.
No ticket was named at the meet
ing last night but a great many men
were talked of. 1t seems probable
according to we'll informed mem
Der of the party that Edgar B. Stew
art will be named for mayor on the
straight ticket.
There is well defined movement
to bring another ticket into the field
and defeat the scheme of selzing the
whole thing on the part of faction.

BLOOD POISONING
Has Seized Ed. Jennewine Who
is a Philippine Veteran
He Has Been a Great Hunter-Some
days ago he Killed Deer and Cut his
Hand While Dressing 1.-THE Cut has
Developed Into an angry Wound
Serious Results may Follow.

Ed. Jennewine veteran of the
Philippine campaign of the Tenth
Regiment, The Fighting Tenth as
it is proudly STYLED by Pennsylya-
Mas who furnished the greater part of
its members is seriously sick from
blood poisoning at his home near
Cheat River
1t will be remembered that deer
was killed over there short time ago.
Jennew.le was the lucky hunter
Since his return from the Philippines
where he left the remains Of his BROTH
er killed by his side by rebel bullet
he has spent most Of his time in the
mountain Businesses hunting and
seeking forgetfulness from his CAM
paign and its bitter memories.
In that time he has been siugularly
successful in bringing down game.
The only deer that has been killed
here for a number of years was killed
by his trustly rifle at distance of two
hundred and tifty yards. The ball
went straight through its heart and
the animal fell like a stone.
While dressing his trophy JENNIE
wine cut himself in the hand. Very
little attention was paid to the injury
which appeared TO be trifling one
Several days passed and he became
sick. He suffered from much pain
and imagined every thing but the real
cause of the illness.
The finger which had been cut then
showed signs of being abnormal and
Dr. Page A. Gibbons was called.
The utmost that medical aid could do
| for him was at once commenced. The
end of the finger sloughed off. The
malady does not seem to have been
checked and its outcome is problem
atical
| The illness is Of course a very seri-
Gus one. What its outcome will be
will be revealed in the near future.
The hand may be lost, or the arm Of
the young soldier may have to be am
putated. Even his very life is in
danger.
1t is to be hoped that this will not
occur. He is son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Beth JenDewine. The former was
recently elected county commissioner
and has great many friends over the
county who will be sorry to hear of
the malady that has seized his son.

SEVEN LIVES LOST
In A School Building At Free
donia NJ. Y.

The Sad Happening Described by Rev.
Dir. Day--Origin OF .Firela Mystery
The Seven Charred Bodies Buried
Together and Monument viii be
Erected Over Them.
Special Cor. to the New DOMINION
FREpoNrA, ". Y. Dec. 20.--Fre
donia In New York state like Nor
gantown, is widely known as an ed.
vocational centre. The resemblance
goes still farther in that both towns
have so largely residents of refine
ment and culture, whose homes
within and without go To make the
town attractive. Among the insti
buttons which have added TO the at
Effectiveness of Fredonia is the State
Normal and Training School. at
tended yearly by several hundred
students, and from which has gone
out multitude of young men and
women to give efficiency to the edn
catienal system of New York state.
What is called the main building
cost with site one hundred thousand
dollars, and was paid for by the tax
payers of the town and then dona-
ted TO the state. There were other
buildings large and elegant added
by the state, and amounting in al,
with their furnishings, to about
three hundred thousand dollars.
Last Friday morning fire in some
mysterious way broke out in the
main building and in two hours this
was in ruins The fire soon spread
to the Chapel aud soon left nothing
but the walls standing. The other
structures were saved by hard work.
The loss of buildings would not be
so serious an aspect Of the calamity,
as there was an insurance of Sl00.
600 upon the property. But the
long hall ways, the open circular
stairways and the elevator shaft
furnished opportunity for the flames
to sweep with astonishing rapidity
up to tue dormitories where some Of
the students roomed, and to the hor-
ror OF all, six young ladies and one
OF the janitors went down into the
burning mass. Those who escaped
did SO by one OF the fire escapes, or
bv getting out upon the roof, from
which they were taken down by the
ladders of the fire department.
How the fire originated is un
known The building was heated
by steam which was conveyed from
distant plant, the lighting was by
electricity. Ii any public build ing
in the state, not absolutely fire proof.
could be thought to have immunity
from fire, this was warranted in be-
ing so reckoned.
The work of the school will 90 on,
with the opening OF the winter term,
Jan. 3rd classes etc. being dis
tributed in several OF the churches,
in public halls and elsewhere. And i
with Spring the work Of rebuilding
will proceed
The charred bodies OF those who
persisted have been discovered.
Identification was only probable,
from locality or in one case from an
article Of jewelry- The relatives
consented to public funeral, and
to day seven hearses conveying the
seven bodies went in sad procession
from most impressive service to
Forest Hill cemetery. There in one
large grave, the seven collins were
placed side by side, in ground dona-
ted by the town, which will rear Il
monument to commemorate the
gloomy event. Surely to borrow
rennyson's phrasing, it is not the
exaggeration of sympathy to say,
this town has never seen eostlier
funeral.

and the yield of bucolic boots, patched
breeches and dilapidated felt hats in
rural. life photography, will be enormous
for the autumn of 1900. Reasoning
from particular to general, Bryan
can forecast platoon of photographers
at work on every other twenty acre
farm like his in the United States.
Bryan posing as farmer is absurd. He
is no more farmer than he is states
man oratory cannot plow, plant or har.
vest crop any more than it can build

WILLIAM L.WILSON

William L. Will
~ son, former post
master. general of the United States,
and more recently president of the
Washington and Lee University at Lex
ington, Virginia, died suddenly on
October II, 1900. His career was bril-
liant and blameless. He became dill
gent student in his earlier years and
ripe scholar in middle life. His neigh
bors and friends sent him to congress,
taking him from a professorship in the
University of West Virginia with
spontaneity and without asking him
whether they might do so or not. In
congress he soon made his mark as
man of sincere convictions, profound
research and absolute honesty of pur-
pose. He was lovable as friend and
admirable as teacher. In all the re.
lations of life, public and private, he did
his duty with cheerfulness and always
conscientiously. It is impossible to
brief his career in the small space al.
loted to his memory in the present mum.
ber of THE CONSERVATIVE.
He was our guest here at Arbor Lodge
from April 30, 1900, until his return on
the 1st of May to his home in Lexington.
Since his departure we have received
two or three letters from him, all of
them cheerful, although each one indi-
Gated his conviction that he was grad.
ually declining in life. Hereafter from
time to time The CONSERVATIVE will
endeavor to do justice to the memory of
this great, good and faithful man.

A REFORM GUESS,

- At Baltimore,
Maryland, on Sept.
10, 1896, Mr.. William j. Bryan said:
"If we win this fight now reform will
begin at once; if we are defeated in
this campaign, there is nothing before
the people but four years more of harder
times and greater agitation, and then
the victory will come. Our opponents
say that they want to restore confidence,
but the republican party cannot restore
prosperity in this country SO long as
that prosperity is doled out to us by
foreigners who profit by our distress"

On Saturday, the
goth of October,
NOTABLEs.

>,o. On Saturday, the
Goth Of October,
1900, great crowd gathered at Ne.
braska City to greet Senator Hanna, of
Ohio. He addressed the people briefly
at the court house. He talked plain
business in straight. from the shoulder
style. He made favorable impression.
In the evening the distinguished and
eloquent Stewart L. Woodford, spoke at
- the "Overland."
His remarks were
logical, in good taste and without abuse.
He made many friends by his instruc.
tive and captivating oratory.

The New York
Evening Post, in
BRYAN.

it's leading editorial, October 18, said:
Before Bryan came to New York it
had been made plain that the dominat-
ing issue of the campaign for the over.
whelming majority of voters was not
Imperialism, or Trusts, or Silver, but
Organism as awhole-Bryanism as they
had already learned it. Since the visit
of the democratic-populist candidate to
this city, Organism itself has become a
more comprehensive thing than it was
before, including as it now does an open
alliance with Tammany and personal
endorsement by the candidate of the
Tammany boss. Bryan's tribute night
before last, "Great is Tammany, and
Croker is it's prophet" became at once q
part of his personal platform. His open
companionship with the most detested
politician in the country, and his appar.
ent insensibility to the disgrace of such
an alliance, illuminate his own charac-
ter. That the incident is bound to have
powerful effect, in turning away from
Bryan voters who have been hesitating
hereto, is already clear"
Not here. The elements of Bryanic
society in Nebraska, which are wildly
enthusiastic, are akin to the whooping-
up Croker elements in New York. The
chum- like intimacy between Bryan and
Doodle, represented by Croker in New
York, will only intensity the admiration
Of the personal following which Bryan
has in Nebraska for-with here and
there an honorable xception-they are
as alike as two herds of sheep, swine or
donkeys. They bloat, squeal or bray in
accord with their "boss."
The Conservative, 1900-10-25

The following
extracts are from
letter written by William Jennings
Bryan to Hon. Geo. A. Garden of Dallas
Texas. on February 1S, 1896. They
were published in the Chatham, N. Y,
Republican" in September 1896:
"In June, 1896, was discussing the
silver question at Jackson, Miss, when
q gentleman in the audience asked me
if would support gold standard can
didate on a gold platform if
the democratic convention would nom
mate such candidate. I answered
that, while did not believe the demo-
cratic party would take such action, I
would refuse to support the nominee in
the event that it did select gold-stan-
dard candidate on gold standard plat
form. I never retracted what
I said at jackson, and do not intend to.
No convention can rob me of my con-
victions, nor can any party organization
drive me to conspire against the pros.
perity and liberty of my country.
II deny the right of convention to
depart from the principles as taught by
the party in the past and then attempt
to bind those who shall participate in
the hope of holding the party to it's
ancient position.
"Men who agree upon principle can
submit their personal preferences to the
arbitrament of a convention, but men
who honestly differ upon the paramount
public questions cannot afford to be
harmonized by a national convention.
"Mr. Cleveland would not support q
free. silver candidate for the presidency,
and he should not do so if he really
believes that free coinage would ruin
the country, because a mans duty to
his country is higher than his duty to
his party"
THE CONSERVATIVE AYERS, without
fear of successful disproval, that Col.
Bryan, in 1899, did not vote for Cleve-
land electors, but voted for Weaver elec-
tors.

~ assembled convicts
of the Sing Sing
penitentiary, during his New York tour,
Col. Bryan could say: II am not op-
posed to liberty for men who do not
steal, murder and ravish. with the
same propriety that he said to Dick Gro
ker and his bowling boodlers: II am
not opposed to honestly acquired
wealth."
Croker got his wealth out of the
blackmail, levied upon criminality in
New York by Tammany hall, so did
every yelper at Bryan's heels in that
great procession of burglars, blacklegs,
and vagabonds. Vote for Croker and
you vote for Bryan-for Bryan and you
endorse Croker.
