Passenger Locomotive Will Ar
rive in Morgantown.

Given b. the.B. Il 0. to the University
1t will be Placed la The New En-
cheering Building which is in Pro-
greSs Of Construction Valuable Ac.
QUESTION.
Prof, e. K. Jones has received
letter from j. Nj. Barr Mechanical
Superintendent Of The b. d O. stat
ing that locomotive will be for
warded about March 18th This en-
CINE is the one that has been donal
ted to the University
The engine has been secured for
the institution through the efforts
OF Prof. Jones who wrote to Mr.. I'm
derWood with endorsements from
several railroad men in the state.
Two DAYS after the letter had been
forwarded reply stating that the
request would be complied with
was received by Prof. Jones and now
lie has received the letter stating
the date at which the engine will be
sent.
1t is to an eight wheel passenger
engine and will be put in first class
working condition by the b. Il @.
before il is sent here. The engine
will be mounted at once IN the Me
chanical building which is now in
course of construction. The work
OF putting it in will be rather inter
esting but no trouble is anticipated.
The building will be about ready
for the machine TO go in by the
time that 1t reaches here.
The donation which is secured
through Mr.. Underwood Second
Vice President and General Mana
ger of the b. q @. will enable the stu
dents in the engineering department
to do d class Of work that they have
hitherto been unable to do. As
result OF this the school will be able
to supply the railroad with techni-
cally trained men in railroad me
ehanical engineering besides sup
plying much useful data from the
experiments which can be made
with it.
The spirit which has animated
the gift will do much towards Sc
curing the good will Of the people Of
the state for the donors 1t is be.
lieved that it will pave the way for
other donations. 1t is valuable
acquisition and will prove drawing
card for the University. A few other
of the high grade schools in the
country have similar gifts notably

Killed in the Philippines.

Another Preston county boy loses
his life not in the defense of his coun.
try-but in land grabbing scheme
on the other side of the world says the
Argus. This time it is Troy p Sliger
of near Terra Alta, who was killed on
December 18th in the Philippines,
where he was serving as private in
Company G of the 44th Regiment, q.
S. Volunteer Infantry. The young
man served as private in Company
FL of the Second West Virginia Regi-
ment in the Spanish war and was
mustered out with that regiment and
came home. Then when Lieut.. w.
j. White came here from MorgantoWn
hunting volunteers for the new regi-
ments for the Philippines, Sliger en-
listed again and went with Will Rex
road and others. We have received
no particulars of the death OF Sliger
except the dispatch in the Wheeling
Intelligencer from Gen. Macarthur
giving list of the killed and wounded
and among them the name of Troy p.
Sliger, killed December 18th. His
father resides at Postum Hollow and
the remains will probably be shipped
home for burial in metallic casket,
but it will be several months before
they arrive. He was about 26 years
of age and quiet, we'll behaved boy.

The Name of the Proposed New County
IA Little History of Why 1t Failed

The Name of the Proposed New County
"A Little History of Why 1t Failed
Before.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan. 3d.
The Augusta county rumor has the
persstency OF Banquo's celebrated
ghost, Now it is said lobby is al
ready on its way to bring the meas
ure to the attention Of the legisIa-
ture and to battle it to victory. 1t
was the star fight OF four years ago
and unpleasant memories still linger
concerning it, One story told is
that certain member who was an
earnest advocate of the new county
woke up one morning to find $3.50
in his room. Suddenly his wife be
came 80 sick his presence was re
quired at home and she did not re-
cover until after the enacting clause
had been stricken from the bill.
Then another earnest advocate OF
the bill, the evening before the day
the vote came bad a hurry-up call to
go home and preach q funeral SER
mon for deceased friend whose dy
ing request was that he should do
it. Another needy legislator got
little expense money from the Man
nington lobby and then somewhat
larger sum from the Fairmont con
tingent. He was going south with
both, but Manningtonian learned
Of the affair and meeting the leeis-
lator on the streets proceeded to
throttle him until he got his money
back. But The county went higher
than the tail Of Gilroy's kite ever
dreamed of doing.

the university is vested with only
the usual powers and its scope is
not so large as many wished, it may

be no attempt to whitewash anyone.
The committee organized this

HONOLULU PEOPLE TO BE
TAXED.
Rate Card Issued Showing Charges for
use of Sewer"-Revenue to Maintain
The System.

The Department of Public Works has
issued a rate card, showing annual
charges for use of sewer" 1t appears
that all who use the new sewer system
in Honolulu are to be charged yearly
rent, and an elaborate schedule of rates
has been made up.
Superintendent Boyd says that the
system will probably run itself, with
the rentals to be received. When asked
as tor reason for making charges,
the right of the department to ask pay
for use of sewers being challenged.
Boyd stated that it had been decided
that people in Honolulu ought to pay
for the use of sewers because property
owners were not directly taxed for the
putting in of sewers. as in many other
places. THE sewer system here was
put in by funds drawn from the gen.
eral treasury, said the superintendent
instead of each owner of street prop
erty being compelled to pay a proper
tion for sewer work, as in other places.
Il don't know that there is any au-
thority for charging this rental beyond
the need of a fund for maintaining the
sewer system, and the Justice as the
department. thinks, of making those
who use the sewer pay for it's main
tenance. I know of no act to the Le-
gislature requiring such a charge to be
paid"
ut AllCOlle lTOul lHc sewer system
will be very large, under the proposed
rent schedule. 1t is expected that there
will be over 1000 connections. The fol-
lowing is the rate card:
