Twenty Percent Of Total Enrolment Of
the University is in this Department.
Strong Demand for Graduates Men
are Succeeding Admirably New
Building Nearly Finished
Prof. John L. Johnston OF the en-
cheering department was asked by a
representative OF this paper how the
department ives getting along this
year. He said that it was better at
tended than ever before and that very
good work was being done. The men
are thoroughly in earnest aud the
faculty Is working tremendously.
The classes have never been as far
advanced at this time OF year as they
are now The men have taken hold
with eagerness aud they are going
right ahead with vim that is very
satisfactory TO all OF US. The great
thing that has been bothering US Is
lack OF room.
ave have been tremendously ham
pered ever since the burning of the
Mechanical building but this will
soon be relieved. The new building
Is far advanced and before very long
we will be into 1t. There is little to
do after the roof goes on as the inte-
rior finish is not TO be very elabo-
rate. We hope to get into 1t by
Thanksgiving
.Then the classes will be able to do
even better work than they are doing
now. In addition to the quality of
the work being done there is another
thing chat pleases US very much that
is the large enrolment. We have 80
men in the civil engineering and 80 in
the mechanical engineering depart
ment. This is sone-fifth of the total
enrolment of the university and TAX
ing only the men into consideration
it is very large percentage OF the
school.
1.-The demand for graduates from
the University was never greater and
a week never passes without our re-
ceiving letters asking for men TO take
position Of honor and responsibility
All OF the graduates have good posi-
tions and many OF them have risen to
eminent places over the country.
The West Virginia University is rec
ognized everywhere as a most thor
ough institution and its graduates
stand very high among professional
men,"
Arrangements have been made to
take the locomotive donated TO the
mechanical engineering department
by the E. & @. TO its new place In the
new building. The city council has
granted the permit and the machine
will be moved shortly. With the new
building occupied still wider field
will be open to students Of the state
and much better work can be done in
every avenue of the department"

Father Boutlon Wants to be Set Right
In That Burial story.

Some time ago seial from
Fairmont told Of the interrupted
burial of an Italian at that place
This story was highly sensational
and in the opinion of Father Bout.
lou greatly misrepresented what he
had said. He has sent us long
card which he wishes published in
this paper The first Of the card Is
simply recital of the services over
f'sS e ap t. 81 1--WE that the
party was ready to 20 from the
church 60 the cemetery. There had
been nothing out OF the ordinary up
to this time. The card continues:
An Italian came to me and began
To explain that the deceased had
been married to his sister in this
Fairmont church some 6 years ago:
that after having two children by
her he had left her ia this country
and had gone to Italy where he had
married another one, the one whose
name had been given TO me az that
Of his true wife. She was III. how
ever, and could not be his true wife,
since the first was still living. AS

the crowd of Italian monrners and
asked those present who knew any
thing about the deceased to come
forward. Addressing them in their
language / asked them, do you
know that the deceased had two
wives living?" Yes, Trey said. he
had two" | told them, "You al
know that no man can claim to be q
Catholic when he has two living
wives. You should have told me
that sooner, for that man was not
entitled Co Christian burial. As ii
is, shall not proceed any further
and have nothing more to do with
this fnneral' Then turning to the
ant., ss.saer TOLD a.l4 chat he could
not bury the remains in our cemete-

TO HAVE BOARD OF TRADE.
Organized Effort to Secure More Fac
tories Win be Made.

FAIRMoNT, Oct. GA number OF
cities and towns in this State,
through the efforts OF their respec-
tixe Boards of Trade, have been the
means of inducing industries OF
various kinds to locate IN their re
spective places, and it has now
reached point, in as much as Fair
mont failed to lead its sister towns
in the establishment of Board OF
trade, to initiate the latter IN order
to induce Industries to locate here
and assist in any way that would GO
toward the building up of our city.
Fairmont. according TO the report
of the last census takers, ranks six
til in population in the State, and
that it made a greater increase in
the way of population, with the ex-
ception of three towns, than at any
place in the State from the time OF
completing the census of 1880 To
and including the census of 1900
Fairmont in her First ward has q
population of about nine thousand.
It's population is increasing so rap
idly that it is almost impossible to
secure houses. Houses that are in
course of erection in great many
instances have been engaged before
the foundations were completed
But according to the size of the
place Fairmont has not the indus
tries that it should have. For many
years there has been a company
that has been doing business here
and practically all the industries
that Fairmont contains were Undue,
ed to locate here through the com
pany's efforts. A member of the
company said: What Fairmont
needs and needs badly is Board OF
Trade, composed of some OF the cit
liens Of the city, and salary the
Secretary sufficiently that he can
devote his entire attention TO the
matter, and not depend solely on
the company Of which | am mem.

Win Probably be Formed Soon-Sev-
eral Combines Already Formed will
be Taken into One Big One-Penn-
sylyania Il. X. and Steele Trust back
of it:
1t is now stated and events of re
cent occurrence seem to bear out
the statement. that big coal trust
- elllsas.og az sae important coal
fields of this state is now to be form
ed. The stock of the combination
will probably be at least one hun.
dred million, and consolidation of
all the mining interests seems to be
certain.
The mines in this region of which
this city is the center, were recently
consolidated with capital of six
million dollars and those about
Fairmont with capital of twelve
millions. The Kanawha river mines
have gone into combination, and
the mines in the Flat Top region
will be consolidated under the name
of the Pocahontas Coal & Coke Com
pauy. Inc opJioLs Oh Jile coal lands
in the, New River Valley have been
extended to December |, aud it is
given out that the options were for
the Pennsylvania R. r. Company.
When the options in the two last
named fields are taken up, every i'm
portant coal field in the state, ex.
ceptIng the West Virginia Central
field, will be controlled by a corpor-
alton closely connected with the
Pennsylvania r. r. system and the
steel trust.
1t is now believed that these sew
eral corporations will be consolida-
ted. Thirty thousand acres of coal
lands Ii Gilmer, Braxton and Lewis
counties, owned by the Braxton
Coal Company a1d Little Kanawha
R. R. Company, have been purchas
ed by Senator Elkins and his as
sociates
Senator Elkins and his associates,
it is said, will at once develop the
property. It is their intention to
extend the West Virginia Central
railroad into the new coal field and
to connection with the Little Kan
awha railroad, by which they will
reach the Ohio river at Parkersbnrg.
A gap of seventy miles will have to
be constructed to connect the two
lines, but to do so would make the
West Virginia Contra. entirely in
dependent OF the B. d o. for west-
ern outlet, and in the event of their
securing line to seaboard would
give them a through line from the
Ohio to the seaboard with connec-
tions for.the great lakes over the
Ohio & Little Kanawha road, and
would open mines for the western
as well as the eastern markets

The Weather Prognosticator.

Those sagacious people who give
the matter of weather signs special
attention say there will be hard freez-
ing III January. This Uney hold will
be due to the numerous fogs during
this month. But it's pretty good
guess, isn't it, that there is likely to
be hard freezing at any time in Janu-
airy or February? Why should fogs
ln October cause freezing spells in
january? These weather sharps
