OPERATOR WAS ASLEEP.
Neglect OF Duty Prevented a Catastro-
phe at Fleming.on-A Siding Switch
had Been Left open after Freight
had Entered.

CLARksBURG, w. Va, Jan. l6-A
telegraph operator asleep while on
duty saved the lives of probably 100
people this morning at Pennington, a
small town few miles east OF here,
on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad.
Pennington being a small village, the
fast trains do not stop there, but as
there Is telegraph Office there. ii is
used as a passing point, and many
freight trains take the siding at that
point.
About D o'clock this morning, just
before the Cincinnati and New York
flyer was due, going east, coal train
went on the side track, and for some
reason the switch was not closed, and
the flyer, coming around a curve run
ming about so miles an hour, blew for
the usual clear track signal, which is
always given, but, as the operator was
asleep, ii was not given, and the en-
gineer at once reversed the throttle.
Just as he did so he discovered his
train rushing on the side track and in
a second crashed into the rear end OF
the coal train His engine was to-
tally destroyed, and how he and his
fireman escaped instant death was al
most miraculous, The engineer OF
the coal train was thrown out OF the
cab into an empty coal car.
The only person seriously injured
was the engineer on the flyer Patrick
Flannery who had two ribs broken.
None OF the passengers were injured.
II the operator had been awake he
would, OF course have given the clear
track signal not knowing the switch
was open, and the passenger train
would have crashed into the freight
at full speed.

The Irl r. Hicks 1901 Almanac.

Whatever may be said Of the scien
tific causes upon which the Rev. Irl
r. Hicks bases his yearly forecasts
of storm and weather, it is remark
able fact that specific warnings of
every great storm, food, cold wave
and drouth, have been plainly print
ed in his now famous Almanac for
many years. The latest startling
proof of this fact was the destruc-
tion of Galveston, Texas, on the very
day named by Prof Hicks in his
1900 Almanac. as one of disaster by
storm along the gulf coasts The
1901 Almanac, by far the finest,
most complete and beautiful yet
published, is now ready. This re-
markable book of near two hundred
pages, splendidly illustrated With
charts and halt tone engravings,

that much worse.
1t is not so much a change in the
personality of the Board of Regents
that is needed as complete recasting
of the management of the institu-
ton on new lines involving radidal
changes in the power and authority
of the President.
SO long as the latter official is
merely a nominal head Of the Uni

executive authority that should go
with the office to make its incum-

decided change for the better. I'm
til the President is made the respon

made answerable to no one but the
Board of Regents or the Governor,
it is useless to hope that the friction
will ceace. So long as the President
is only nominally the executive, a

METALLIC CIRCUIT PHONES
Are Being asked for by the Majority Of
the Patrons Of the Local Bell Ex-
change.

A petition Is in circulation and has
been signed by great many people
asking the G. d. and p telephone
company To put in metallic circuit
phones in Morgantown. Nearly every
patron has signed the paper and all
are expected to sign 1t. In case the
improvement Is given us 1t will make
a great improvement In the local ex-
change.
With the metallic circuit the phones
are nearly as good as with the regular
long distance phone. The Bell ex-
change at this place has always been
number one In every respect and with
the new wrinkle proposed 1t would be
still better 1t is thought that there
is good chance to get 1t. There are
to be great sums expended during the
coming year by this company and they
are now Offering stock nearly to the
value OF what they now have out and
will expend the money on improve
mcntS.
There are nearly 900 phones IN use
here and additions will soon have to
be made to the board at central. John
Hare who Is the local manager Is an
efficient officer and he Is rapidly enlarg-

CHANGES SUNDAY.
3. & o. Schedule is to be
Amended at Once.

New Trains from this Place to Fair
I mont-Wuch Better Connections into
i West Virginia are to be Given Kick
ing Over the Old Arrangement has
Borne Fruit.
There is to be new schedule on
the B. Il @. after Sunday at which
time it goes into effect. The con
slant kicking that has been going
on since the present schedule was
inaugurated has shown the railroad
people that the present scheme will
not do and they have determined to
change it. Just what the changes
are to be have not been announced
officially to the officials at the depot
at this place.
1t is learned however that they
are to be radical and that they are
very much better than the old plan.
It is said that the through train to
Clarksburg will pass-her at five
o'clock instead of S:35 as at present
The late train will either stop here
or go to Fairmont to lay over re
turning to Pittsburg in the morn
ing.
The Monongah train to Fairmont
will be extended to Morgantown
reaching here late in the evening
and returning at six in the morning
The morning train from Clarksburg
will arrive at about the same time as
will the noon train from Pittsburg
and the afternoon train from Fair
mont. The changes If carried out
will be much better than the present
schedule
On Sundays the schedule will be
about the same as it is now Under
the new plan it will be possible to
get out of here early in the morning
for any point in the state with good
connections. At noon the same con
nections as at present will be made
and in the evening the same connee
tions at Clarksbnrg and much better
ones at Fairmont will be made.
The officials announce that the
change is to be made on account of
the constant and pertinent kicking
that has been made by the people
Of this state who have felt themselves
to have been unduly Disseminated
against in the new arrangement in
4 favor of Pittsburg.
We will still have as good service
to Pittsbnrg and in addition will
get much better to the points IN this
state
