PIEDMONT, w. Va, June 14-David
Paxton discovered the body of an un-
known man floating in the Potomac
river below Piedmont to-day, who had
evidently been murdered and thrown
into the river weeks ago. His head
was crushed, indicating heavy blow.
The body is badly decomposed. The
man weighed about 200 pounds, and
was well dressed. Nothing but two

The body was buried in the
potter's field by the e. ]. Fred

of Mineral county. Public opin-
ion is that Dugan was murdered for
his money at Rat Tail. where John
Burke Of Corvallis, was killed few
nights ago and where the toughs con-
gregate at night with disorderly wo-
men, Justice Charles HUH declined to
hold an inquest, but an effort will be
made to investigate the matter. The
body was thrown into the river below
town as it could not have passed over
the rifle above, and there can be no
doubt but that the man was foully
murdered at night, and thrown into the
river after being robbed.
Late last evening it was learned that
Dugan formerly worked at Boggs'
mines, near Barton. Ohio, about twelve
miles west of Bridgeport, on the g., L.
& W., also was weighmaster at Maple
Hill mine, near Barton. At this place
he has brother by name of John
Dugan,- and a brother-in-law, Moore
Doobiger. Dugan, while in this vicin-
ity, bore a good reputation and had
many friends, who are sorry to learn of
his horrible death.

Scope of the Exposition.
This exposition is intended 10 convey
a comprehensive idea OF the intellec.
tual. social and material progress OF
the nineteenth century in the western
hemisphere, embracing the indepen.
dent governments and dependencies Of
the three Americas and the adjacent
islands. AS an electrical exposition il
is expected to surpass anything ever
attempted. The Niagara Falls Electric
Power plant, the largest on the globe,
is only 80 minutes ride by rail from
the exposition, and it is from this
source OF supply that the unlimited
power for the uses of the exposition
and for the extensive and extraordi-
nary electric displays is TO be drawn.
The exhibits to be displayed in the
larger buildings are announced in 10
groups or classes, as follows;

The western end OF the Esplanade is
defined by group Of buildings little
less in their magnificence and arrang-
ed in the same manner as the govern
ment buildings. These are the Horti-
cultural building, 220 feet square. with
a central lantern 235 feet high, flank
ed on the north by the Graphic Arts
building and on the south by that de-
voted to Forestry and Mines. The cir
cular arcades which connect the build
ings are very ornate and form the en-
frances to the Conservatives back of
them. The large semicircular court
contains the Fountains Of the Seasons.
Throughout the Esplanade are sunken
ssrdens. floral displays and colonnades.

appropriately the purposes Of an art
building for the exposition.
We come presently to a bridge of
elaborate design which spans a narrow
place in the Park lake. On either side
are broad reaches of water dotted with
pleasure boats The plumage of swans
and other water fowls of dazzling
whiteness gladdens and enlivens the
scene They are good sailors, those
birds with sinuous necks, and the envy
of young boys, to whom swimming and
diving are as yet arts unehieved.
What a scene. How fresh and
green and abundant the foliage, a de-
light to the botanist in it's amazing
variety, picture to arrest the eye OF
an artist. And flowers! Children of
the sun! Natures expression of her
most joyous moods! How generously
have these been spread throughout
One may well believe there is a sub
tie plan back of 1t all. Undoubtedly
we are victims of latent conspiracy.
BY these delicate instruments-the
play of color on the eye, the waiting
of invisible floral incense to the keen
nostrils, the song of birds unseen
the branches all about. the soft dip
of oars In the limpid lake, the melody
Of cool cascades-these are soothing
the mind and preparing it's receptive
powers for the burst of splendor which
presently shall come.
So skillfully has the work been per-
formed that one may scarcely discover
where the park has been grated upon
the newer grounds of the exposition.
The park lands have necessarily been
somewhat invaded, but not disfigured.
A little grade brings you finally to a
point where the architectural beauty of
the great main group Of exposition
buildings blossoms before the eye as a
flower opens when the sun streaks the
eastern sky and heralds the dawn of a
new day.
There are some twenty or more large
buildings, including the massive arcni-
tectural features of a decorative char

which complete the beauty of the broad
open space.
Leaving the Esplanade, we enter the
Court of the Fountains. At the right
and left are two huge, towerlike build
ings $50 feet square, one devoted to
Ethnology and the other to Music. Next
beyond the Ethnology building. on the
right, is the building, $50 by 800 feet,
to be devoted to manufactures. A
broad, open space, containing an
aquatic basin and floral features, separ-
ates the two. On the west side of the
Court of the Fountains is the Machin-
cry and Transportation building, Of the
same size as the Manufactures build
ing. Each of these buildings contains
large court surrounded by arcades
and containing a profusion of foliage
and flowers and long pool OF water
banked with grass and pebbles. Seats
and walks among the shrubbery invite
the visitor to rest and refreshment.
Centerpiece of the Exposition.
The Court OF the Fountains is the ex-
quisite centerpiece of the exposition.
Beautiful by day to degree quite I'M
surpassed, with its wonderful display
of fountains, flowers and ornate sur
roundings, its charms are best pre-
sented at night. Then the element Of
marvellous electric effects is added to
the other embellishments. All the
surrounding buildings are outlined
with rich tracery of incandescent
electric lights. The light is so diffused

Court of the Fountains and the Plaza,
is 1000 feet long by 500 feet wide.
From our view point in the Esplanade
we can see some part of nearly all the
great buildings. 1t will be noted that
there has been liberal use of color in

Uses of the Principal Buildings.
Now a few words about the dimen-
sions and purposes of the larger build
ings To the right at the extreme east
end of the Transverse Court, is the gov
eminent group, consisting of three
large buildings. The largest of these is
600 feet long by 1870 wide, with CEN
trail dome 250 feet above the main
floor. The greater portion of the gov
eminent exhibits will be sheltered in
this building. The other two build
ings are each $50 fee square and stand
west Of the main building, connected
by circular arcades. The group forms
semicircular court $50 feet across, in
which are fountains and flowers and
other decorative features. The lesser
buildings are to be used for the ac-
quariums and fish display, the exhib-
its from the new island possessions of
the United States and for a display of

acter. The lesser buildings are num-
bered by the hundreds. The love of
symmetry has guided the hands Of the
designers Of these glorious works. and
the arrangement is upon harmonious
lines. Color shades into color, shadow
blends into brightness, and there are
brilliant contrasts in thousand ways
that forbid a hint of severity and
sameness and make a picture that one
will carry always in his mind when
once it has been recorded there by the
camera of the eye.
We are now at the Approach, shaded
by tall trees, and advance to the Fore
Court. We cross the Mirror Lakes

sition. The Mirror Likes are a part

The tower stands in a large aquatic
pool surrounded by balustrades and
flowers. with numerous fountains and
cascades playing into the basin. The
tower is reached from the Plaza on
the north side by bridge OF attract
i've design. Elevators carry the Wis
itor to the promenade floors at various
heights. From these floors broad and
beautiful views of the exposition and
surroundings are obtained. At the
height of 200 feet in the tower is a
large restaurant At a height of 500
feet is a lookout that gives one birds
eye view of vast stretch OF country,
including the Niagara Frontier, Mag
