UNAVOIDABLE COMMENT.
Charleston People Talking About the
University.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Dec. rs
The summary dismissal of Profess
ors Armstrong and Hartigan from
the chairs occupied by them at the
State University has caused a great
deal of comment IN this city, all Of
it, SO far as heard by this correspon-
dent, unfavcrable. Nobody has gone
far enough into the matter to dis
cuss the merits of the quarrel be
tween the factions at the University,
which seems to be at the bottom OF
the trouble, but all remarks are
aimed at the unfairness of the Board
Of Regents in ousting men from
their positions without summoning
them TO show cause why they should
not be removed. The star chamber
features of the matter is what the
people don't like, and what the re-
gents who are responsible are not
likely soon to hear the last of. The
affair smacked little of the spirit OF
fair play so dear to the American
heart.
The case Of Dewing Il Sons against
Elihu Hutton and others, decided
by the Supreme Court at its last sit
ting, has become quite celebrated
cause in West Virginia annals, and
is of more than passing interest.
The Dewings through their agent
entered into contract with Mr..
Hutton number Of years ago to
buy lands for them in West Virgin
la, agreeing to allow him so much
per acre for what he bought, he max
ing what he could by purchasing for
Il less price per acre. The business
ran along for years without a settle
ment, and other things became in
volved. among them the running of
big mill, and extensive farming OPP
erations. Finally Dewing d Sons
sued Hutton, and the whole matter
was turned over TO commissioner
to go through and report how the
business stood. The commissioner
did his work and reported that Hut
ton owed Dewing & Sons SAT, 900.
The court did not agree with this
finding and another commissioner
was appointed. He reported that
instead of Hutton $ owing the Dew
lngs $4,000 Dewing d Sons owed
Hutton $4,000 in round numbers.
The cause was heard in the Circuit
Court of Randolph county, and judg-
ment was rendered for Hutton &C
cordIngly. Dewing d Sons took an
appeal, and the Supreme Court at
firmed the finding of the Circuit
Court, with interest, which IS from
January q, 1898. The judgment is
for more than $4,000.

LOCATION MADE.
Morgantown Oil and Gas Com
pany Starts a Well.

The Location Is Made on the Farm be-
longing to j. w. Holland Near Pleas
ant Valley School Householder notes
of the Driilers and Their Work Over
the Country.
The first location on the tract
leased by the Morgantown Oil and
Gas company has been made and
work is now going on preparatory to
putting down we'll The company
is composed Of Morgantown people
with Courtney and MeDermott as
principal stockholders. The loca-
tion made is on the j. w. Holland
farm near Pleasant Valley school
house on what was formerly known
as the Downs farm.
The company has ten or fifteen
thousand acres OF land leased on the
West Side of the river and they will
test it thoroughly for both oil and
gas. They want both but will be
just as well pleased over gas as oil.
The location of the first we'll has
been the matter of much speculation
and this announcement of the decis-
ion will be learned with interest by
everyone
The location was made Thursday
afternoon The material is now be
ing put on the ground for the rig
and the we'll will he started down as
soon as possible 1t will be sent
through all OF the sands and thor
ough test made.
1t is said that the intention of the
company is to drill five wells even If
they meet with no success. In case
they do get some paying wells they
will do great deal more drilling and
will only limit themselves to the ca
pacity of the field to have holes
punched into it and pay profit
The company is formed with the
intention of coming into town with
gas line in case they strike gas.
/ They are drilling much in advance
of any good gas wells and they are
in the rankest kind of wild cat terri
tory. Some of the best strikes made
in the business have been made in
this kind of stuff however and the
hackers of the scheme are confident
that they will get something.
Courtney and McDermott have
struck another good well on the Kent
farm in the upper end of the county
This is number g. The other two
I L 4
barrels day between them. The
new well is not yet accurately guaged
but it is a good one. 1t came in on
Thursday afternoon.
The Union improvement Compa
ny is drilling a gas well on the
George Brand farm near Cassville.
This is some distance from their 9th
er wells from which they draw the
fuel used in Morgantown.

work turned out by this famous firm.

nouncement Of the move there is
enough business now ready for them
to keep their plaHt busy for months.
They will take possession Of their
plant on January 18th and very soon
thereafter will be ready for all corners.

IMPROVEMENT
To be Made on the Mon0ngahela
River

A dispatch from Washington says:
Another important item is for the
appropriation of 5000, 900 for the Mo
nongahela river. which in case the bill
passes in its present form, will be
available at once. An additional sum
of 1876, 913.56 for the same river is
authorized on the continuous contract
plan. These two sums are to be ex
pended in Pennsylvania, and are, OF
course, independent of the amounts
already authorized for completion Of
the system in West Virginia to Fair
mont.
1t is understood several locks, at
least two. below the West Virginia
line are To be renewed and enlarged.
Besides being in bad condition they
are said to be inadequate for the in
creased business.

AN ADDITION.
Morgantown Glass Works will
Expand next Spring.


Another Twelve Pot Furnace is to be
Built-The Works will Employ One
Hundred aud Twenty Fire More Peo-
ple-Flourishing Condition OF Our
Chief Industrial Plants.
The Morgantown Glass Works will
be increased in capacity in the spring
by the. addition of a twelve pot fur
mace which will be duplication of
the furnace that they have down there
now. This will be built on the lower
side of the factory and will not take
up much room. However it will be
rather an expensive addition.
1t will together with other improve
ments that are TO be made cost fifty
thousand dollars. There is one hun
sdred thousand already invested in the
plant and the owners have spared
neither time nor expense in making it
one of the most complete factories in
the county. Everything about it is
of the very best.
Since they have started they have
turned out ware to the value of one
hundred and seventy five thousand
dollars. They now have orders ahead
to the amount OF sixty thousand dol
lars. They cannot catch up with the
present capacity and they will have
to enlarge. This would be done now
if the weather would permit.
When it is completed there will be
room for one hundred and twenty five
more men. These will be put to work
during the spring and early summer
and Morgantowu will be benefited to
the extent that their earnings aggre-
gate.
There will be meeting of the
stockholders before very long and they
will talk over a number of matters.
They will not declare dividend at
the coming meeting but will turn the
earnings into the surplus and devote
them to strengthening the resources
of the factory.
1t is said that the Seneca factory
will declare dividend. They passed
this last year and DEVOTED the money
earned to making the company
stronger. They have also had great
many orders and are turning out a
great deal of ware.
The matter of gas has been bother
ing both factories to some extent and
they have been complaining of the
heavy price to be paid for the fuel.
Satisfactory arrangements are being
made now however and there is no
more trouble along this line to be an
ticipated.

Goes To The Pen.

Organizer William Warner, OF the
United Mine Workers, who has lately
been organizing the men in the West
Virginia fields, reports having had a
very lively experience. He says he
was followed by detectives day and
night for several weeks. The organi-
GERS worked for time in the guise OF
peddlers, but were soon discovered
and in every instance were escorted
off coal company property. BY the
way, the Supreme Court OF Maryland
has decided against Warner in the old
case OF the Georges Creek strike, and
he must report at the Maryland PEN
itentiary Thursday to serve sentence
of six months, although all the others
indicted with him were either pardon
ed or had their sentences committed.

A DEER SLAYER
Story From Parkersburg Of West
Virginian Who Killed 35 of the animals
This Season.

ylTglnl8n WHO hlilcO do Oh Tile dnlmHiS
This Season.
PARKERsBURG, W. Va, Dec. 90
John Burner, OF Pocahontas county,
arrived here last evening with IA
fine deer which he had killed in Po-
cahontas county within a few days.
One was big buck with nine ant
lers and weighed 275 pounds. Mr.
Burner has killed during the season
35 deer and 3 bears. besides other
smaller game, ali in the mountains
of Pocahontas county.
Local sportsmen will purchase a
lot of quail in the South and import
the birds into this county that they
may increase and make good hunt
ing next fall. Two years ago this
was done, but the severe Winter
which followed killed nearly all of
them. This time they will not be
brought here till early Spring, and
it is thought that by fall they will be
quite plentiful The birds have
been hunted so that they are now
very scarce.
