Special to New DOMINION.
CHARLESTON, January 28.-These
is no change in the situation here.
There have been rumors and rumers
of all sorts afoat. Some of these
were TO the effect that the University
matter had settled down and that the
present head would remain indefinite
~ while the present board of regents
would remain in possession of the
breast works. Your correspondent
is in position to state both Of these
are incorrect.
There will be new board of re-
gents. DR.. Raymond will be removed
These assertions WILDE made without
the slightest fear that they will mis-
carry. The members Of the Legisla-
ture are more determined on this than
ever before. The visit of Mr.. Sturgiss
here has not had the effect that he
expected to have.
He is suave and influential among
strangers and one of the most resource
mi men in the State. He has left ut
terly beaten and disheartened. He
went to Washington to get Senator
Elkins to interfere but it is learned
here without result.
Bills have been prepared for the re-
organization in every board in the
state. They are to be introduced at
once. The University bill will be
among the first of these. Ii is ex-
pected To go In to-day. 1t will give
Governor White the power TO appoint
new board shortly after he comes in.
He will take pleasure in doing So
The whole force of the party will he
behind these bills and they will go
through.
However there are some funny things
about it all. A. resolution requesting
DIR. Raymond's resignation would not
win, although such a thing has been
talked of. The house has refused to
be a party to an investigation but If
they don't take some steps In this d.
rection the Senate will do it without
aid from the other body.
DR.. Hartigan has refused to withdraw
his suit and really appropriations are
seriously threatened unless he does so
and Raymoud's resignation becomes
fact. Sturgiss is willing to agree
that he will go, if he may retreat
later, and not under fire. This prom
Use is not regarded as being very val
liable al Charleston.
For the time being other things
have forced the University matter to
the rear but it hasn't changed single
iota. The predictions already made
still hold The people OF the State
will be heard and their wishes will be
granted

CRAVE ROBBERS AT WORK.
Ghouls Dig Up the Body OF A
Woman

Near Parkersburg and Steal Two Rings
aud a Brooch--i.eaye the Body Ex-
posed.
Grave robbers have been at work
near Parkersbnrg and the body of a
young women who was buried with
iewelry on her person has been ex-
humed, robbed aud left exposed to
the air.
The work Of these ghouls was per-
etrated at the TraceweIl cemetery
on the south side of the Kanawha
and there can be DO doubt as to the
purpose of the robbers.
On Christmas day Matte Jones,
a young woman who lived on the
South Side, was buried in the Trace
we'll cemetery. She died day or
two before Christmas and when she
was buried she had on handsome
brooch and two rings, one Of them
plain and the other with an opal
setting. They were Jewels which
she had been fond OF in life and it
was thought proper to bury them
with her.
To-day it was discovered that her
grave had been opened and the jew
els taken. The grave had been dug
into until the coffin was exposed,
the glass in the coffin was broken
and the iewelry taken. The body,
exposed to the air, was LETT unpro-
tected and the snow of last night
had dfifted into the coffin when it
was discovered
It was at first thought that val
liable diamond pin, which the girl
had, had also been taken, but it was
stated by persons who knew that she
had sold the pin before her death
and that It was not buried with her.
1t was probably to secure the dia
mond pin that the grave was opened,
for the other iewelry was not of
great value. The police have been
notified bnt so far they have no clue
on which to act --Parkersburg Sen
tinel.

Ed. M. Heermans got hold of the
redistricting plan Of the republican
caucus and wired it to the Dispatch
before other newspaper men got onto
it. 1t was published in Pittsburg be-
fore 1t was known in Charleston. He
beat not only the Wheeling papers but
the Charleston papers as well. His
letters in the Dispatch have been read
with much interest in Morgantown

WILL INVESTIGATE.
County Court is Excited Over
M * X Bonds.
Claims Made That These Have Been
Fradulently Obtained by the Rail-
road Special Session to be Held
Mr.. Stnrgiss States That There Is
Nothing In the Affair.

NVAhtnS III tac
A special session of the county
court is Co be held on Wednesday OF
this week. The call was issued in
order that the alleged fraudulent man
ner IN which the Morgan district
bonds were obtained by the Nj. 4 X.
railroad through their agent Hon.
George G. Sturgiss. 1t is asserted
that the court was bamboozled into
turning over the bonds before the
contract on the part of the road was
carried out
When these bonds were issued it
was with the understanding that the
road must be constructed to the
county line before the last halt OF
the $4,000 was to be turned over.
The first part was to DC given to the
road as sections of one and a half
miles were completed
1t is asserted that the road is six
hundred feet from the county line;
that there is deep ravine to be
crossed before the county line is
reached, that it will cost from seven
to twelve thousand dollars to bridge
or fill this ravine; that Mr.. Sturgiss
told the county court that the pres
ent terminus of the road was right
on the county line and that in re-
Spouse to this fra lulent representa-,
ton the bonds to the amount OF $22.
500 were turned over to him as the
agent of the road
The call for the meeting is for the
purpose of inquiring into the matter
and for The cancellation OF the bonds
Il the facts as claimed shall be shown
to be true
Mr. Sturgiss was seen by repre-
sentative of this paper to-day in re.
gard to the matter. He stated that
there was absolutely nothing in the
allegations. The road is either at
the county line or it will be put
there soon. The present terminus
is not the place where it is going to
stop.
The county line is where he showed
it to the court. This is ia accordance
with an old survey which was made
thirteen years ago. In case it does
not show the true location commits.
sion will have to be made up consist
ing not only OF representatives OF this
county but OF Preston as we'll to locate
the line to a certainty.
He stated that the bonds could net
be cancelled or recalled. The road
has done what it agreed to and all
reports to the contrary are malicious
and false.
He wanted to know why nothing
had been said to him before this step
had been taken but had no doubts as
to the outcome OF the investigation II
1t were made.

What He Left.

When George c. Sturgiss left here
for Morgantown he left behind him
the promise that President Raymond's
resignation should be secured at once,
and that it should be accepted within
sixty days. This, however, will not
save sturgiss to the board of regents.
Ichabod has been written on his door

which is Mud. Gazette.

| Victoria has world wide fame as
an ideal mother. Her children were
all nobly trained and educated. Her
character was as spotless as Pariau
marble, and she had deep spiritual
life with commanding Christian in
fiuence. DIR. Leech read Senator
Lodges eloquent tribute to her love
for, and services to our own country,
also the action of Congress, the ia.
nous cable of President Mckinley
and the beautiful tributes to her
character and career from Elk Presi-
dent Harrison, Secretary Gage, At
torney General Griggs and the emf
nent French editor Henry Labou-
chere. He spoke Of the numerous
English wars that gave her grief,
and OF her limited sympathy with the
English policy in the present Trans,
vaal war. He spoke of the various
men and parties who had frequently
controlled her public affairs during
her long reign, and of the great
achievements in civil affairs, in Eng
land, consummated within the last
sixty years, largely through her in
fiuenee. Only Louis the Fourteenth
of France has reigned longer than
Victoria among earthly monarchs.
DIR. Leeeh closed his sermon by
saying that the great Queen and En-
press of India met death bravely.
She did not pass into the beyond
crying with Queen Elizabeth "All of
my possessions for a moment of
time But after an illustrious, long
and holy career her mortal life
peacefully joined the immortal life
as children and friends knet by her
and her Chaplain, the Bishop OF
Winchester, prayed Tor the dying
monarch.
Nature has few scenes more re
splendent than glorious sunset
and Christianity has few pictures
more morally magnificent than the
calm and victorious demise OF de.
yont and venerable sovereign of a
mighty Christian empire, with the
world watching the final triumph
over Death.
When Lord William Howard Stat.
ford approached bis scaliold he ex.
claimed i know how to look Death
in the face" The late aged and
splendid Queen had this same knowl-
edge and courage. We ought all to
live so that we may meet the final
foe as serenely as did Socrates when
he lifted the fatal cup of hemlock to
his lips.
A great painter of Italy left, at his
death an unfinished masterpiece

senting the full triumph of the high

May Almighty God endow her son
the new English monarch, with
strength, wisdom and piety to carry
onward to completion the ideal work
of his venerable mother. May peace.
justice and love forever unite Eng

nations from many standpoints,

HAS DISAPPEARED.
Jesse Russell of Vanvoorhis has
Left the Country.
Last Seen on Last Thursdar Morning
Probably Got on the New Line Boat
He had Been Miller for Several
Years-No Apparent Reason for Him
Leaving his Wife and Child.


Jefferson Russell of Vanvoorhis has
disappeared and there is no trace Of
him. Whether he left for good or is
coming back is not known. Vanyoor-
his was called by this office and asked
about the matter but evidently did
not want to talk very much about it..
From the replies that were extracted
1t was learned that Russell had left
on last Thursday.
He Is thought to have taken the
new line boat in the morning Of that
day as he was seen shortly before it
came. There had been nothing of an
unpleasant nature as our informant
avows. Russell had not been drink
ing recently.
Apparently he had no reason that
an outsider could discern that would
cause him to take such step. He
vas married man with one child.
For several years he had been engaged
as miller at that place. For long
time he had been going along the even
tenor Of his way when all at once he
disappeared.
There are no suspicious of foul play
however. He has just left. That is
all there is to it. The neighbors do
not know why he left and they appar-
emily do not care q tinker's epithet
about it. No search has been made
as yet for him and it is not known
whether they will make any.
His present whereabouts are IN
known and his future movements can
not even be guessed at. Russell was
a heavy set we'll made man with a
reddish brown mustache, fair complex
ion weighs about one hundred and
eighty pounds and was about five feet
nine inches tall
He was quite popular in that sec
tion of the country and is known all
over the county.

will Publish the Truth If the Heav-
ems Fall.
A few days ago we published a good
story in reference to watch meeting
that was alleged to have been held in
Evanston, H., on the night of Dec.
31st. 1t seems that our correspondent
must have been attending to certain
other matters besides watching and
did not tell of things just as they &C.
Cured and Rev. Mr.. Francis sets the
matter right in the following letter:
To the Editor of the New DOMINION:
EVANSTON, ILL.,, Jan. 26-I write
to say the South Church of Evanston
has an up-to-date organist, but she
has never played rag time on the
church organ. There is no truth in
the report, about our church, which
appeared recently in some OF the
Chicago Dailies. We did not have a
watch meeting, but dinner New
Years night. know Of no such per-
son as Miss Marie Walker Our dim
ner was not ia the auditorium of the
church but 10 the basement, and the
church organ was not touched that
night.
The night of the dinner one of the
ladies played strain of a popular air
on the piano, to illustrate a point in
one of the toasts, and l guess some
reporter heard Of that and wrote up the
story. The dinner was great sue
cess, and nothing was done that could
be criticised by the most rigid follower
of Calvin or Wesley. Am informed
that this article which appeared first
in the Inter Ocean, has been quite
extensively copied by the press
throughout the country, which indi-

you. Yours truly,

Used.

Used.
The Cheat river bridge is com
pleted as far as the bridge builders
are concerned. 1t is ready for use
except for the fact that the ap
proaches are unapproachable as yet.
There is to be a great deal of excav.
talon and filing not to mention
stone work to be done before the
bridge is ready to be used by the
public. The last work has been
completed on the structure itself.
John E. Price has the contract
for the excavating and will get it
done as soon as possible. The
bridge is expected to be ready for
use before many more days. 1t was
delayed little for several reasons
during its progress but it has gone
ahead remarkably fast considering
every thing 1t will be great i'm

ty and they appreciate it.
