To the Editor of the New DOMINION:
The condition Of the streets here
are a constant reflection on the town
Other towns have clean streets
There is no reason why Morgantown
can't have them. There is one way
to get them and that is through a
street sweeper,
| understand that short time ago
one of the citizens offered to get a
street sweeper aud maintain it keep
ing the streets clean for 5000 a year
The offer was refused
That is no reason why the town
should not buy one Of these machines
TO use instead OF the expensive hand
labor which is at present employed
and which has so often proven made
quate in the past. These suggestions
are given your valuable paper in order
that they may be called to the atten-
tion OF council. CLEAN STREETS.

BELAIRE BRIDGE
Will be Removed and Put
Across the Monongahela
Crossing at JimteWn Three Miles North
Of Here-Important Announcements
Made BY Prominent II. & o. Officiai
Laughing Statement that the
RIackbottie is to be Bought.

Rlackbottle is to be Bought.
One OF the most prominent b. and
O. officials in the state has been in
town on business. He was seen by
this paper and asked about bis Wis
it here. He stated that he came in
on several errands. When pressed
to more definitely talk about it he
laughingly said that the B. d O. was
after the Blaekbottle and intended
buying it.
In case they got control of it it
would mean completion of the
road through to junction with the
B. Il O. east of Grafton avoiding. a
long round about haul and opening
up large scope of country with
easier grades than are at present en-
joyed over in that direction.
One of the most important an
nouncements made by him is con
corning another local matter He
stated that the bridge over the Ohio
river at Bellaire is to be removed and
and placed across the Monongahela
at Jimtown. The bridge has be.
come entirely to light for the heavy
rolling stock of the main line recent.
" installed.
In consequences of the changes
that are being madeby the road it
has to be replaced by something
heavier The bridge will be taken
down in sections and the new sec
tions put in place without interrupt
ing the traffic. This has already
sta ted.
Some of the old bridge is being
removed and new parts are going
in. The removal is one that cannot
be done in day but it assures a
first class bridge to the new coal
fields which are to be opened up.
The new road will be under the con
troll of the B & @. which is to make
this field take the place of the
Georges Greek region.
Georges Creek has become ex-
hausted and the road needs the ton
mage. The new field is to supply it.
Thus from still another source comes
the welcome information that this
county is to see one of the greatest
developments of any county in the
state.
From purchases of real estate at
Jimtown recently it is thought that
the bridge will cross at a point some
where below the town and that it
will RIM up on the north side of
Scott's Run along the hill to Usage.
When it will be completed is mat
ter of conjecture as it takes long
time TO build anything of such mag
nitude. That it will be started
soon however is past the problema
teal stage.
MIR. sTURGIss DENIES THE REPORT,
Hon. George G. Sturgiss was ask
ed about the rumored deal on foot
whereby the b. Il o. was 60 acquire
the Blackbottle. He stated emphat
ically that no such movement was
on foot. The B. & o. has made no
offer nor has the NJ. & K. made
moye in that direction. The pres
ent owners of the road know nothing
whatever about any such a deal be
inc on.

VANDERBILT SECURES CONTROL
Asserted That He Won In Fight For

New York. May S.-The Mail and

There is excellent authority for
the statement that William K Van
derbilt has carried the day in the con
test for the control of the Union Pa
cific railroad. and that he intends to
put through his plan for annexing it
to the Vanderbilt system
His idea is that 1t shall be con
trolled by the Chicago and North
western and New York Central joint
ly, with a guarantee of per cent on
Union Pacific common stock and pos
sibly an exchange of 3 per cent bonds,
issued Jointly by the Northwestern
and New York Central, in exchange
for Union Pacific common stock.
There may, however. be some change
in this last feature"

To the Editor of the New DOMINION

To the Editor Of the New DOMINION:
Any one who has seen the new
Cheat river bridge usually grows pro-
fame over the subject when talking of
it but | shall endeaYor to try not to
do SO in this communication. The
bridge is a fine structure. It itself
would be an ornament to any county
but there are drawbacks to it that
make it worse than no bridge at all.
In the first place it run right
against the bluff on the western end
and there is no way to get into the
road except to build a double reverse
curve. This will make it impossible
for any four horse team to get on or
Off at the end in question.
At night this will be a great source
Of danger 60 every one. The approach
at this end is wider az the bridge than
it is at the landing making it look
very peculiar.
The reason for the present location
having been selected was that the
county court had refused TO pay for
enough ground to land it lower down
They can only raise the bridge at a
much heavier expense IN order TO get
it fixed as good as they could la the
other location or it will be an eye sore
to the travelling public as long as it
stands, OBSERVER.

Redmond,s Protest.

London, March 1S.-In the house OF
commons William Redmond, Irish Ma.
tionalist, gave notice that he would
take an early opportunity of informing
King Edward that he had no earthly
right to use the title of defender of the
faith. The argument came up on Mr..
Redmonds question as to whether the
title would appear on the new coins,
and il so, what particular faith was
meant. The chancellor of the eX-
chequer, Sir Michael Hicks Beach, re-
piled that SO long as the kings titles
remained unaltered they would appear
on the coins. Then Mr.. Redmond pro-
tested and was called to order.

County Superintendent's Salary
Increased to $6OO.OO.
The new school book law, passed

that the salaries of the county sn-
perintendent of schools shall be in
creased to $500 where $500 has
been paid and to 300 in the smaller
counties where $3.50 has been paid.
The new law also prohibits the
county superintendent from teach

schools and makes it compulsory
for him to visit every soho oil in the
county at least once during the
term. In case he misses school
the law provides that he shall be
fined So for each offense.

Slowly But Surely Passing Away.
Shorter and slower with the years
are the marches of the Grand Army
of the Republic. The report of the
adjutant general of the organiza-
ton reveals an increase in the death
rate which comes as shook after
the brave show which patriotic pa
rades have made at the annual en-.
oampments. Since 1890 the roster
has been reduced from 40O,499 to
276,662. In other words. divis-
ion, 123,828 strong, has marched
across the river into the uncon-
quered country. A regiment OF
1000 each year helps to reinforce
the division. Taps are being
sounded with frequency that will
soon make their reverberation
heard every half hour in some por-
tion of this country This decrease
of the G.. A. r. is becoming more
pronounced every year. In Hi
nois alone 3 per cent, of the old
soldiers left "the glory and the
dream" behind them. Already
many posts have been compelled tC
give up their charters, owing to the
fact that they have fallen below the
maximum prescribed by the con-
stitution of the order. But few
more years and tho remnant OF
those who followed the Union flag
through tho OWL war will be q
mere handful.

Governing the Philippines.

Fastened to the army appropria-

hour of the 5Gth Congress was
what is known as the Spooner
amendment, measure providing
for the government of the Philip.
pines. 1t gives the President al.
most absolute power over those
islands and makes him really en-.
peror of the Philippines just be-
fore it was passed there were
changes made in it which prevent
the whole sale gobbling of land by
syndioates and trusts, but improved
even in this respect it must be pro-
bounced a pernicious piece of leg
islation, if half of what is said of it
proves true. The following com
ments were made by different Sen,
ators:
Bacon.-"I regard the Philip.
pine amendment as the most per.
nioious and Objectionable legisla.
ton which has been proposed since
I have been in congress. 1t is ut
terly revolutionary"
Hoar.-"I am opposed to the
proposition contained in the amend
ment to &C mmit to five mon despot-
ic power over 100000 million of
men. You may talk of benevolent
assimilation and use other honor
able phrases, but your act is pure,
simple, undiluted, unchecked des-
potism."
Tillman.-"Congress is about to
abandon it's perogatives and turn
them over to an oligarchy-a new
despotism of five men appointed by
the President"
Lindsay.-"This amendment
adds nothing to the security of the
Philippine people and opens the
door to serious abuses
Mallory.-"It would be an out
rage to turn upon the Philippine
people horde of carpet baggers
from this country"

Romblon, Island of Romblon, March
1S.-The question OF attaching the
island of Martinique to the Province
of Taybos, discussed by the American
Philippines commission since It's ar
rival here, has been decided in the
negative. The sentiment of the people
was wholly in favor of forming a sep
arate province. population of 3d.
600 was represented during the discus
sions, and the commission has met in
telligent delegations from all the
towns on the island.
There are 300 armed natives In the
mountains of Martinique, but other
wise the inhabitants are said to be
anxious for the pacifcation of the
island and to accept American sover-
eighty. Judge Taft has announced
Captain Bandholtz to be chairman of
the various committees of natives
formed to organize municipal law in
the towns of Martinique. Judge Taft
has promised that the commission will
return and organize the province of
Martinique.
)! Major Smith, commanding the
American garrisons on this island, has
issued an order requiring all natives TO
live in the five principal towns where

natives who continue to live in the
country will be considered insurgents.
A few Filipinos have been killed or
wounded near these towns recently,
and their supplies destroyed.
This port will be the capital of the
newly formed province, composed OF
adjacent islands. 1t is situated at the
mouth of Deep Valley and has splen-

The American Philippines commits
