Homer Morgan young man about
eighteen years Of age hanged himself
jn his fathers barn about two miles

ed the eyes of his friends for short
time with the above result.
Z. II. Honlt Of Hoult had his

hundred and twenty-five dollars in
cash and cheeks amounting to one
fifty. The checks have been stopped.
This is the 3sth robbery in Fairmont
In the past two or three months and
not single one OF the robbers has
been caught.
The crimes have consisted OF every
thing from pocket picking TO house
breaking and even murder is suspected
in one case. Not one Of the criminals
has been rounded up and the people
up there are getting very restless.
They think that the police are too
much like Parkersburg's force and not
enough like the kind that they should

SURVEY COMMENCED.
Corps of Engineers Have Start
ed to Work

On the M0nongalia Railroad Location.
The Road Will Cross the River at
Randail-Mines TO be Opened Near
Usage Members or the Party who
are at Work.
Work has started on the survey of
the Monongalia railroad which is To
run from Mergantown TO Gassville.
The road will not be built to connect
these two points Immediately but Il
good stretch of track will go down
during the early summer. The gang
OF surveyors started on Monday morn
ing on the work
The first important thing for them
to settle is the location of the bridge
They will make a number of surveys
and will report to the h. & O. engi-
neers who will be here this week to
look ints the matter. The location
will then be made, 1t is probable
that it will be at Randall but the ex-
act location of course cannot as yet be
told with certainty.
There has been some talk that it
would be at Vaudeville or Granville
but members OF the party who have
been asekd about it state that 1t will
be in the vicinity Of Randall. The
road will go up SCOTS Run to the sec
tion about Usage near which the
mines will be opened
The location of the mines is another
thing that has to be announced later.
1t will depend largely on the surveys
that are to be made but they will be
some where close TO Usage. Coke
ovens and every thing that goes with
first class mine will be put in and
hundreds OF men will be at work In a
short time in that vicinity.
The expenditures that the company
will have 80 make before they get
back anything will be very large but
they are in every way able to do what
they have proposed. They are men OF
large capital and they will not hest.
tate to put in their money. They
will make this county hum during
the next few years.

Greek Coal and Coke Company Bert
Laughed of this place and Frazer
aud Milholland of Cumberland com
pose the engineering corps. They
took Marshall Crow with them from
town and will get men and other help
that is needed from the country
The survey will take some time but
the actual work of construction is not
very far off. Local men will do a
great deal of this. The stone work
will probably be let to a local man.
The beginoing of this work is great
source Of satisfaction TO every one
here.

The closing meeting at the Univer-
sity Hall, Sunday night Of the revival

all to call on him for mercy He Sc id
the two great opportunities for saliva
tion were in youth and during a time
of religious interest. He proved this
by the experience Of the christian peo-
pie present, The larger part said

anan expressed his pleasure with the
many good results, his faith in this
method OF work, his joy in personal
work and his sorrow at tie enmity of
the human heart against Christ shown

DISCHARGE OF VOLUNTEERS.
May be Necessary to Hold Some in the
Philippines Until Their Enlistment
Expires.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2I--Active re-
cruiting for the army is In progress in
all the principal cities. The author
lied strength Of the regular army at
present is IS, 900 men, and the recruit
ing is with a view to maintaining it
at that strength after the discharge Of
the 30, 900 volunteers on June Both.
All enlistments are for three years and
the humber OF recruits averages about
1000 month. Owing to the delay
in action on the army bill, the i'm
preston prevails in the War depart
ment that it will be almost impossi-
BILE to get all the volunteers to this
country in time TO permit their dis
charge here by June Both. La that
case it will be necessary to discharge a
number Of them in the Philippines on
that date, Ia order to keep them there
until replaced by regular troops now
being recruited. Otherwise it would
not be possible to keep the Philippine
army up TO the limit OF 40, 900 men
regarded as essential to the enforce
ment OF the Presidents policy while
the reorganization Of the army is 60
ing on.

SIDETRACKED THREE WEEKS.
Railroad Engineer Ubeyed his Orders
to the Letter.

"Sidetrack at Hampton Junction,
Pa, and await orders.
That was the message Hiram Ad-
ams, an engineer on the Jersey Cen
trail, branch of the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western, received Deem
Der 10th. There had 1een small
freight wreck on the line and it was
thought best to switch his train tenn
porarily. After the first three hours
went by Adams got hungry and went
TO a hotel. The day passed and no
further orders came. The next day
and nothing, then week, two weeks,
and finally three passed by. Adams
was living in comfort al his hotel
when he received message to come
ahead.
After sending The order the train
dispatcher forgot Adams, and when
that individual failed to show up it
was thought be was sick at his home
in Hallstead, Pa. Finally an investi-
CATION was made and the startling
discovery came that he bad been for
gotten for three weeks. He has filed
with the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western bill for his hotel expenses
and time and half time after the first
ten hours on the siding.
He says he did not report for the
reason that once before he had asked
for further orders and received sharp
reprimand for interfering in business
that was not his. He accordingly
obeyed orders and now asks the COM
pany to settle. saying the Brotherhood
will back up his request.

HEARING POSTPONED.
Supreme Court will hear Argu-
ments On Tuesday

On motion to Make the Hartigan Writ
{ of Prohibition Permauent-Board of
Regents Claim that action was Result
of Hearing Given the Professors in
june
DR.. J. w. Hartigan has gone to
Charleston leaving on Sunday morn
ing. He will be there when the mat
ter comes before the Supreme court on
the motion TO make the writ of prohi-
bition which has been granted TO him
made permanent by the court. 1t
was to have come up on Saturday but
was postponed until Tuesday.
1t will then be finally decided but
It will be several days after the argu-
ment is made before the decision is
announced. COL W. w. Arnett Of
Wheeling and Hon. w. r. ID. Dent
of Grafton will appear for DR.. Harti-
gan and Hon. George G. Sturgiss will
serve as counsel for the regents.
The Board of Regents will claim
that they gave the deposed professors
a hearing They allege that at the
June meeting the matter was taken
up and that both DR.. Hartigan and
Prof. Armstrong were heard then.
The action at Parkersburg was simply
the announcement of the decision
which had been made after consider
ing the statements made by DR.. Ray
monG against them and their state
mentS in refutation of what he set
forth at that time.
DR.. Hartigan's counsel made the
claim in asking for the writ that no
opportunity was given him to appear
and answer the charges which had
been made against him. Regent
Brown Of Charleston in his statement
to the board stated that they had de-
cided to let everything drop and that
the action at Parkersburg was an en-
tirely new one.
Nothing was done at Parkersburg
IN reference TO the others that had
been attacked on the same grounds
that Armstrong and Hartigan were
attacked in June.
The action of the majority of the
board in setting up the contention
that they have is regarded as very
sharp bit of practice. What the
court will rule in the premises will be
awaited with interest.

TWO CENTS
THE DEBATE.
What was Said and Done at
Charleston.

In Reference 10 the Charter for Mer.
gantown Motions Made and speech
es Delivered on the BillSeyerai
Amendments attached to it-0rdered
to Third Reading
The following has been sent us from
Charleston ia reference TO the action
OF the House on the Greater Morgan
| town Charter.
| House Bill No ., to create the Mu-
| nicipai Corporation Of Morgantown,
was taken up on lis second reading.
Mr. Reynolds moved Co strike out
section p, which provides that the
question of granting licenses to sa-
loons, putting the issuing OF such IL
eenses In the hands OF the city council
instead OF the county court. Also,
providing that an election shall be
held every year TO decide whether such
| licenses shall be issued for the sue
ceeding year.
Mr.. Reynolds speaking of his amend
ments said everybody In the state was
| interested In the saloon business in
Morgantown, the seat OF the Univer-
sity. This vas his reason for inter-
fering In what would otherwise be a
! local matter.
| Mr. Grant opposed the amendment
and the discussion was participated in
| by q number of other members.
Mr. Jackson said that weight SD auld
be given to the views OF the delegate
! from Mouungaia In this section OF
| the state, he said, the counties had
been troubled by county courts grant
ing licenses TO improper people and at
improper places. In kanawa county
the acts OF the county court had be-
come SO oppressive so opposed to the
will Of the people that public SEN
tlment was greatly aroused and finally
worked reform.
Mr. Grant said he had seen Morgan
| town both with saloon license and
without license, and he knew there
was better order and less trouble with
/ license than without. The town was
now filed up with 'speakeasies,
where bad whisky was sold without
restraint TO people CT all ages. Under
the license system the sale was much
better regulated where there were II
| censes.
| Mr. Brannon doubted the eonstitu-
tionality of the bill, which proposed
to take from the county court all dis
cretion in the matter Of granting IL
censes
Mr. jackson took issue with Mr..
Brannon and thought the bill entirely
constitutional.
Mr.. Martin spoke to the constitu ,
tional phase.
Mr. Smith OF Ohio, argued that the
proposition was constitutional, and
pointed out in support OF his view that
| the city Of Wheeling had control OF the
matter OF granting licenses and not
the county court.
| Mr.. Reynolds said his first and chief
objection was the proposition to put
| the power to say whether licenses
should be granted In the hands OF the
people. He would rather see it left
with the town codncil than left to
the vote OF the people.
After further general discussion in
which many members took part, the
amendment was agreed to by an aye
and no vote OF 81 ayes TO "a noes.
| The bill was slightly amended In
other respects and ordered TO third
reading.

Bill for Statue of Governor PIER
point TO be Introdaeed-0t Others men,

dency are Very Literally Discounted
by Local People.
During this week there is to be
much work done by the legislature.
They are now in full running order
and will dispose OF much Of the bus.
mess that has been introduced.
Among other things that are to be
done is the election of S b. Elkins as
Senator from this State The House
will ballot separately on Tuesday aud
on Wednesday viii vote in joint SEES
sion The democrats will vote for
Hon. John I. MrGraw as a compli-
ment to his ability and party ser
vices
A bill will be introduced this
week providing for the presentation
to Congress of statute Of Francis
III. Pierpoint, who was the War Gov
ernor of Virginia when West Vir-
ginia came into existence. The
statue is to occupy the only place
belonging to West Virginia that is
vacant in the National Gallery.
There has been discussion IN the
newspapers regarding the question
as TO which of several West Virgin.
ians famous in its history should be
honored with this mark OF esteem.
The friends Of the late Senator Wiley
of Morgantown believe that his
statue should 90 in the gallery. He
was at one time a member of the
Senate and was also a member Of
the Virginia convention during the
stormy times. Senator Wiley did
much towards making West Vir-
ginia a possibility and gave valu
able aid in forming the new state
and preparing the constitution.
Others mentioned in the same con
neetion are James G. McGrew, OF
Kingwood, anil the late Archie
Campbell, of W heellng.
L is expected that the legislature
will vote to appropriate $4,000 for
the Pierpoint statue, as there appears
to be no one especially interested in
forwarding the movement of any oil
the others mentioned.
A disquieting report comes from
Charleston that the edict that Presi-
dent Raymond must be dismissed at
once has been modified 1t is stat
ed that Mr. Sturgiss has been the
means of changing much in The feel
ing down there and there is very lit
tie lett of the bitterness felt toward
the head of the University.
Those who are fully aware of the
stand that has been taken by the
powers that be, make light of these
reports and state that they have
every reason to believe them to be
untounded They state that they
expected something of the kind from
correspondence that has taken place
recently, but that from what they
know Of the nature of this and of the
sentiments expressed by those in
authority that they can discount
them one hundred per cent. in ar
irving at the truth OF the reports.
Locally but little Importance is
attached to the rumors as similar
sentiment was expected to be felt
when Mr.Sturgiss brought his adroit
ness to bear on the situation. 1t
is not believed here that he or any
other man can save the day as the
truth is out and that viii play hob
with the President and his further

Girl Lost Her Finger.

The first corn cutting accident re,
ported SO far this season occurred
Monday afternoon at the farm OF Aug
ust Shatzer, few miles northeast Of
Manchester, says the News. Miss
Annie Shatzer, about Is years Of
age, was assisting her brother in
cutting corn with binder. The
binder was not equipped the same as
for cutting small grain and the young
lady was doing some part Of the work
usually done by the machine. While
thus engaged her left hand came in
cont"ct with the sickle-bar and the
little finger cut completely of. The
middle finger was also badly cut and
other parts Of the hand severely
skinned.
