THIRTIETH DOING WELL.
Record That the Regiment has Made
Recently in Manila Fine One.

w. E. Curtis, staff correspon~
dent of the Chicago Record has the
following to say of the Both regi-
ment. 1t will be remembered that
several Morgantown men are attached
to this regiment;
The 30th infantry under Col. Cor
nelius Gardiner. has done great work
down in the southern part of the
Philippines. 1t is part of the brig
ade. under Gen. Kobbe which has
opened the hemp ports in Panay,
Samar and Leyte, which adjoin Lu-
zon on the southeast. 1t has had
several sharp fights, but so far none
has been killed, although several
have been wounded. On Jan. Goth
the regiment met stubborn resist
ance from 500 insurgents strongly
intrenched under Pawah, celebra-
ted Chinese general, landed under
the protection Of the gunboat Nash
Vile, which shelled the trenches and
made them an easy capture. On
Feb. I'd the boys had another fight
at Cathelegan, where they captured
a large arsenal, powder house, thirty
pieces of artillery, large number Of
rifles and ammunition. Portions of
the Both infantry are now establish
ed as garrisons in the towns OF Sa-
rosogan, Donsol, Bulan, Legaspis AL
hay, Virac, Calbayog and racloban.
The climate down there is much bet
ter than in the northern part OF Lu
zOu.

SANTIAGO VETERAN.
Wounded Several Times in the
Fierce Fighting.

ienees-A Wire Cutter In Front Of his
Comrades Enemy Pot Him and
Wound Him Twice Interesting Re.
cital.
Lieutenant c. w. Cramer Of Pied
mont has been in town visiting his
wife who is here at her old home in
South Morgantown. He is veteran
of the Spanish American war and saw
service in several regiments during
that period. At first he was with the
First regiment but left 1T for the
Sixth calvary seeing service at San
tiago. Later he was transferred 60 the
Second regiment and was with it un-
til mustered out.
At Santiago he took part in some of
the heaviest fighting and was wound
ed in several places while making a
charge with his regiment. While
with them he was a private and was
detailed to 90 ahead of the firing line
as wire cutter.
Several lines of barbed wire were
between the American troops and the
Spanish entertainments. 1t was nee
cessary to cut these before the advance
and one man was detailed from each
four to proceed the firing line and cut
the wires. Here the men We're expos
ed to the fire of the enemy in all OF
its intensity. They were also In front
Of their comrades and were in danger
from the missiles discharged by their
own comrades.
The first wound was received in the
leg from a piece of shrapnei which
struck his leg and tore the flesh from
the knee to the ankle making a very
painful wound Recovering from this
the advance was kept up and on the
second hill mauser ball was receiv-
ed in the shoulder knocking him
down.
In this instance he dropped his
weapon but seizing another from
dead American he continued the adj
vance until the second line of entrench-
ments were seized and then he was
exhausted.
The Spaniards fled in confusion and
this saved the American troops who
were completely exhausted. The
Spaniards were too badly scared to re-
turn and they did not take advantage
of their opportunity. Skaters part
in the surrender was not very highly
regarded by him but the but the cred
it is to be given to General Miles who
conducted the negotiations and soon
received the surrender of Toral.
Cramer has many souvenirs of his
experiences and is very entertaining
talker regarding it when pressed by
questions relating to them. His wound
in the shoulder gives him some troub-
lie but this is hardly expected to
prove permanent.

MILLER Is A PRISONER.
The Notorious Syndicate Fraud
in Brooklyn Jail
The Detective Who lie Caused TO Lose

and Followed Him TO New York
Miller Seems TO Have Spent the
Wealth That he Took Away With Him
Gould Not Furnish SI2. 800.


NEW York, Feb. 10.-W lillian f.
Miller, head OF the notorious Frank
lin syndicate which promised to pay
and did pay To many persons $40
per cent, on investments, and who
fled in November when the news
reached him of his indictment for
grand larceny and conspiracy by the
Kings county grand jury, was to
day brought back to this city. He
was in the custody to Capt. Rev
nolds, formerly Of the Brooklyn de.
tectiye bureau. who lost his place
through his failure to prevent Mil.
Ter from leaving the city. Capt.
Reynolds and his prisoner arrived
from Canada at 2:30 o'clock to-day
and went to police headquarters,
where Miller was introduced to
Chief OF Police Devery. Miller did
not seem at all put out or disturbed
by beingan the hands of the police,
or in the slightest fear as to the flu
ture. Chief Dovery was very anx-
ious TO find out something of Mil
ler's doings since he Nleft the city,
but Miller positively declined to
say word in that direction
Reynolds found Miller in Mon
treal. He said that several DAYS
ago he was furnished with clues of
Miller's whereabouts and was in
structed to get him il he could In
following up the clues, Reynold
said he ran across a man who knew
Miller. The movements OF this man
he followed until the latter and
Miller met Reynolds would not
say where this meeting occurred.
According to Reynolds, Miller was
not taken by surprise. Reynolds
told him that as they were in Cana
da he would not arrest him, but
you'd follow him wherever he went.
Miller replied that he was going
back to Brooklyn, anyway Rey-
nolds said that he did not place him
under arrest until they reached the
Grand Central depot, when be- show
ed bin the warrant of the Kings
county grand jury. He looks very
seedy, his clothing is soiled and he
lacks the air OF nan who has made
a fortune. Miller was taken from
police headquarters to Brooklyn and
arraigned before Judge Hurd in the
county court. He was held in $12,
500 ball, which be was unable to
furnish and was transferred to the
Raymond street Jail. Three indict-
ments had been found against Mil
Ter, two charging grand larceny in
the first degree and one grand lar
ceny in the second degree.

FAUST AGAIN.
That Grand Old Scriptural Lesson to be
at the Opera House.

No play ever in our city has met
with such universal approval as this
grand masterpiece of Goethe, the
German Shakespeare, and no por
travail of that weird Satanic Mephis
: to is so indellbly stamped upon the
minds Of the large audience who
witnessed the part taken by Mr.
Porter j. White, and his return to
the city with show double it's for
mer size, of unsurpassing magnifi-
cence, Nth the grandest electrical
and mechanical effects ever shown
with Faust production in this
city.
This the local management person
ally guarantees. This is the only
Faust company that absolutely Car
ries full choir for the cathedral
scene, the same being specially en-
gagged by Mr.. White from the
Church of the TRANSPORTATION, ST.
Louis. Mo. The Detroit Free Press
of recent date says that the beauti-
full rendition of the Drinking Chorus
In the grand opera, Faust, by Mr..
Whites magnificent quartette, was
the most impressive of anything ever
! heard of that nature in Detroit, and
was alone well worth the price of
admission. Mr.. White is the only
one playing this play under his own
name. Other companies are out
purporting to be this and THAT, and
only using the names OF reputable
stars to further their personal inter-
ests, caring little for the daily sacri-
fees they are making of the hard
earned reputation Of Mr.. Morrison,
who well deserves to rank at the
head of his class. Unlike these
spurious attractions above mention
ed, Mr.. White personally superin-
tends his production and appears at
!. every performance. One night only,

FAIRMoNT, Feb. f0.-The Free
Press has the following of interest
concerning the coal and coke trade OF
this region
The forwarding OF coal and coke
from this place for the week ending
Feb. increased 200 cars, 2290 being
the total number forwarded as COM
pared to 2090 the week before. Coke
shows an increase of over 5000 tons,
and the same increase holds true with
coal The supply of coke on hands at
the different ovens is fairly good, and
shows no decrease from last week.
A total Of 68, 700 tons, or 81, 420 tons
of coal and II, go tons of coke, were
forwarded the past week. The NJ. r.
delivered ,l6l loads, or an average
of 176 cars day, which is a slight
decrease from the week before. The
car supply shows a decided decrease,
only ,543 being received as compared
to /, S73 for the previous week. Of
this number the NJ. r.. received ia,
and the local mines the remainder,
which is difference over last week in
IdA0i VI UHt lDIdl llifuCS dc W bDG pei
cent. The decrease in the car supply
and the increase in the forwarding is
accounted for by the reason that
number of cars on hand have been for
warded. and although the M. r. has
a good supply yet on hand their tracks
are not nearly SO full as formerly.
The direction of the forwarding the
past week changed from east to west,
and comparatively little eastbound
freight has been moved. Sunday has
come to be the heaviest day in the
week for forwarding, as then all pas
senger engines that are not ia use on
their regular runs are pressed into
service, and by putting two of them
together a fairly good train can be
moved.
After the slump taken last last
week the price of coal has remained
about stationary, propably caused by
the cold spell. Although many OF
the consumers are of the opinion that
the price for the second half of the
year will will be higher than for the
present, yet they are reluctant to con-
tract for longer period than July,
many preferring to hang out on cur
rent quotations. The report of the
coke ovens shows as follows:

TO WITHDRAW.
Societies Think the University
Should Get Out.


Small Want into Larger One
Resolutions Passed Without Debate
and Unanimously Other Notes about
the Institution.
The Parthenon and Columbian
Literary Societies held a Joint SEES
sion at Commencement Hall on Fri
day night to take action over the
proposed withdrawal from the Inter
collegiate Oratorieal league of West
Virginia and Western Pennsylvania.
Resolutions were offered and passed
to the effect that the University felt
that it was no longer advantageous
to belong to the organization in
question.
Prof w. p. Wiley had been re-
quested to preside over the body
while in session and he did it with
his customary grace. The members
of the two societies had discussed
the matter at length before and they
had their minds made up to pass the
resolutions without debate which
was done.
Adjournment was then taken.
committees had been appoin led be-
fore to take steps to get into another
oratorieal league after the contest
in the present one this year and by
! the time that the next contest
comes off we will be in a much larg-
er and more pretentious organiza-
ton.
After the adjournment the Parth-
enons held sessions for the pur-
pose of electing a contestant to take
the place of Mr. G. n Smith who
will be prevented by his recent i'll
ness from taking part in the contest.
They elected D. r. Cuppett to fill
the vacancy.
Prof. L. C. Miller leetured before
the members of the Aurora Grange
on Friday night in the lecture room
of the Experiment Station This
organization is one that has been
= formed among the agricultural stu
dents of the University to improve
them in many directions. Tho lee
ture was highly enjoyed by those
present and the lessons given were
greatly appreciated.
Another lecture was delivered by
leProf. R w Douthat before the Y.
M. G. A. on the same evening. The
professor is one of the most popular
men in the University and is most
entertaining talker. There was a
. good crowd out and they were great
sly pleased with the address.
A number of the members of the
law class are making an effort to be
admitted to the bar OF the state.
Several of them took the law exami-
nations held during the week.
Seniors are getting their work in
readiness to submit to the commit
tee on graduation and those who
want to get through are in fear and
trembling lest they may fall down
at the eleventh hour.

Amendment to the shipping Bill
Starts Discussion.

Washington, March 8.-The house
committee on merchant marine and
fisheries held an extended session to-
day with a view to completing the ship
ping subsidy bill which has been I'M
der consideration for some time. The
bill as originally introduced was taken
up and served as basis for action, a
number of amendments being made
along the lines of the substitute meas
ure proposed by Representative Miner
of Wisconsin and some of his Republi-
can associates. These amendments
have been incorporated in the main in
the senate bill so that the action of the
house committee brings the two houses
in virtual agreement on the form of the
measure. The voting disclosed that the
majority was united in the general plan
of revising the bill. The minority also
acted together in general opposition to
the bill with the exception of Mr.. Chan
Ter, of New York, who withheld his
vote and Mr.. Daily, of New Jersey, who
was absent
new amendment intended to pre-
vent the creation of a trust in shipping
interests, was proposed by Representa-
tive Stevens of Minnesota, and caused
extended discussion.

His Own White Folks.

IFrom the Atlanta Constitution
One of the oldtime southern negroes
went to Boston to make his fortune
After a week of walking up and down,
he found himself penniless, and no work
in sight.
Then he went from house to house.
JEFF you please, suh," he began, when
his ring at the front door was answered,
cant you give q POI cullud man work
ter do, or somepin' ter eat?"
And the polite answer invariably was,
No, mister-very sorry, but have moth
ing for you"
Every one who answered his ring ad-
dressed him as Mr." but shut their
doors and hearts against him.
Finally he rang the bell at a brown
stone front
A gentleman appeared, and the old
man began:
Boss, is starvin'. Can't you gim-
me some vittles?"
You darned black kinlzy headed ras-
call" exclaimed the gentleman, how
dare you ring the bell at my front door?
