on down the steep hillside, gaining
speed at every moment. Passengers
who were at the station here waiting
to get on the train were amazed to
see 1t rush by at speed of forty
miles an hour. The engineer and
fireman stuck to their posts, though
powerless to do anything, and when
the nine miles grade was reached
east of town the train came to a
stop. 1t was then that the passen-
gers realized that they had an ex.
citing ride on runaway train. A
yard engine brought the train back
to town, where freight engine was

TEACHERS ELECTED.

Employed Others are all Old Ones
Reelected Other Business taken ur
Entrance of Students in the Uni.
Yersity Serious Problem.
The Board of Education met on
Tuesday night for the purpose Of
electing teachers for the schools of the
Morgantown Independentdistrict and
Tor taking up any other business that
might come before it Several mat
tiers were taken up but none Of them
disposed Of The construction of the
stone wall along the Walnut street
side of the school was considered.
Bids had been filed by number OF
people but they were not uniform and
the matter was referred to commit
tee to figure on them and see what is
the lowest bid aud report to the board
at its next meeting. The wall will be
finished sometime this summer.
1t was ordered that the schools open
this fall on the first Monday ia Sep
TENDER which falls on the third. There
will be nine months of school. After
~5hese preHminaries had been arranged
the election of teachers took place.
Those chosen were Misses Ethel
earle, Olive Hodges, Florence NJ. Tay-
Dor, Lucy Wood, Josie Kunkle, Ella
Simpson, Abigail Hull, Minnie l..
Wotrfag, Villa Brand and Laura
Shisler. A G.. Smith was again
chosen to preside over the colored
school.
Professor Gallup has been given the
assignments of the teachers to the
rooms to'which he wants them attach
ed. He has made no recommendation
In this direction but what ever he
asks to be done will be carried out.
One of the greatest drawbacks that
the school has to encounter is in the
pupils going to the University in
many instances even before they have
entered the high school. In nearly
every case they funk out of the Uni
versity but there seems no way to
stop the practice except to appeal to
the parents TO keep the children in
the town school until the Superin-
&0endent will say that they are pre-
pared to enter the University. Many
a bright boy and girl is receiving SER
ious injury by going TO the University
v<before he is ready to enter even the
prep department.
Steps are now being taken to rene
dy this state of affairs and some so
luton will be found for it between the
cchool and TTpivarcitv authorities
The latter have already agreed TO ac-
cept any plan that the former may
propose.

A remarkable case Of drift was re
ported to Lieutenant Herbert 0
Dunn at the Baltimore photographic
Office in letter from United States
officials in Baracoa, Cuba. TWAS the
return to the Office of a letter placed
in a bottle and thrown overheard by
Captain Mitchell of the Neptune
steamer Ohio on October %, 1895
while tho ship was bound from Car
thagena for Baltimore with cargo Of
iron ore.
Captain Mitchell inclosed a note
stating that the bottle aud its con
tents were thrown overheard on that
date in latitude 35.37 and longitude
$3.50. He requested, if the bottle
was picked up, that it be sent to the
Baltimore branch photographic office
Remarks were appended to the paper
received that it was picked no Janu
airy 16, 1000, in latitude 20.21. 40 and
longitude 74.45, which is in the vi
cinity of Baracoa.
If the bottle had dritted in {
straight line from where thrown into
the water to where found it woulc
have travelled 1000 miles. In its fom
years and three months of drift it il
possible that it covered several tiluel
that distance.
