for some time are beginning to be
stirred up again. Rev. w. o. Wilson

RAILROAD PROSPECTS.
Another Visit From B. & O. Of
ficials TO Morgantown.

Cannot Decide on Location Of Depot
Plans that have Been PROPOSED Cor.
neetions of NJ Il X. Giving Trouble
Prospects Poor for Extension from
Down the River.
Messrs. George c. Sturgiss and J.
A Martin who have been east looking
after the interests of the Morgantown
& Kingwood road and the Central, r.
r. of West Virginia are back at home.
They had a number Of consultations
with B. s. @. officials in reference to
the connections with that road at
Morgantown and another visit OF the
officials will have to be made here.
This will take place about the
ninth. There is a great deal of spec
ulation about the way that this is to
be done and the location of the depot.
About the only thing that is certain
is that the water tank will be remov-
ed from its present location.
Three separate locations have been
proposed for the depot and two of
these plans contemplates division of
the depot into freight and passenger
stations.
One of them, proposed is to move
the present station fifteen feet toward
the river and let the Morgantown &
Kingwood into the rear. Another is
to place the stations in the Y between
the two roads on the bank of the
creek. The third is to place the pas
senger station next to the pier at the
bridge and run out an elevated bridge
parallel TO the suspension bridge to
allow the passengers TO go out.
None of these plans may be found
to be satisfactory. The forthcoming
visit of the officials will probably de-
eide what is to be done. The condi-
tions at present are very much against
both roads and the Morgantown &
Kingwood is very much bampered
This will get worse and worse until
the remedy is applied.
The status of the Central r. II. of
West Virginia which is proposed to
be built from Morgantown to Charles
ton is about as it was. The several
branches which are to make it up will
go on with their present plans and if
the consolidation comes it will have
to be later on.
Mr.. Sturgiss expressed himself as
very doubtful as to the Pennsylvania
or Vanderbilt system ever coming up
the river. The policy of the railroad
world is opposed to this. They are
not completing as keenly as they were
and one system is not building into
the territory of the other when no adj
vantage is to be gained by either by
this method
The rumor that the Pennsylvania
was coming up and connect with the
M. & K. by a bridge was stated to be
at present at least the merest specula,
tion. He had told representative
of this paper about the talk six
months ago but stated then as now
that it was all in the air and might
probably never result in anything
definite
The rolling stock for the M. & K.
which was to have been purchased
was not bought at this time but it
will probably be purchased later.
Nothing that exactly filled the bill
was found but they have located some
thing that will he available in thirty
or sixty days when the engine and
cars wanted will be obtained.

Ash, before the funeral of John G.
Darnell, whose death was surrounded
by suspicious circumstances, and oc-
CURED presumably of consumption
last Sunday, held post norton ex-
animation, removing the stomach,

which will be subjected to microscopic
examination and chemical analysis
One lung is badly affected, being sol
idified, while the spleen was several
times the natural size. Beyond this
the surgeons would make no staue-
ment tonight, not having completed
the microscopic or chemical examina-
tion. The inquest will be held to-
day
THE wIFE's STATEMENT.
The wife of the deceased, formerly
Miss Mayme Fleming, Of Faifmont,
West Virginia, whom the family ac-
cuse of slowly poisoning her husband,
made a statement last night before
attorneys and newspaper representa-
tiYes, denying the charges, and charg-
ing the parents of the deceased with
having poisoned the mind of her hus-
band against her to induce him to or
der her from his bedside that he
might be persuaded to change so, 600
life insurance policy, making the
mother the beneficiary instead of the
wife, which was done, after the desir-
ed enstrangement was accomplished.
EXPLAINS THE LETTERS.
She admits having received letters
from her sister in Wheeling, TO which
the family attached so much impor-
lance, but explains that she had
written her sister telling her of her
troubles, and the controversy over the
insurance, and that the sister advised
her TO remain here until the end, en-
ploy lawyer to look after her inter
ests. coming to Wheeling when all
was settled.
This advice was misunderstood and
misconstrued by the family. She
says she and her husband lived most
happily until they removed to his par
ents' home, after he was taken i'll.
THE BONE OF CONTENTION.
When death seemed certain the in
surance policy assigned to her by her
husband as a wedding present soon
after their marriage, September 10.
last, became contention.
She returned from Warsaw to at
tend the funeral to-day, and was
treated coldly by the family, though
her presence was permitted.
Much now depends on the result Of
the post-mortem examination and the
inquest. The sentiment here is in the
young wife's favor.
