The Peculiar Policy of Russia.

London, March 1S.-Dr. Morrison,
wiring to the Times from Pcllin, says:
"Russia, by her refusal to support
the powers in their demands for the
punishment of guilty officials, has
finally thrown off the mask. A plea
for leniency is hardly serious, coming
from power whose troops last sum-
mer were guilty of reprisals upon the
Chinese scarcely less ferocious than
the acts of the boxers themselves.
Russia's action is only applicable as
the fulfllment OF private compact
with III Hung Chang to throw the
concert overheard. in return for con-
cessions securing her separate inter-
ests."
DR.. Morrison proceeds to protest
energetically against any further sac
rifices of their interests on the part
of the powers to secure an outward
union of action. He thinks that even
France can hardly follow her ally in
this instance.
I'll Hung Chang In Critical Condition.
Pekin, March 1s.-The health of II
Hung Chang is again matter of grave
consideration to the ministers of the
powers. Mr. Rockhill, the American
special commissioner who visited Earl
III Saturday says he is a physical
wreck and apparently in state of
utter collapse, although mentally as
bright as ever. Mr.. Rockhill would
not be surprised to hear Of his death
at any moment.

NJ. &. CONFERENCE
Slow in Getting Down TO Bust
ness.
Delegates Arrive Slowly aud are not
Placed Very Fast I've Ministers are
TO be Tried at the Present Meeting
Tribute to DIR. Leech.

FArRMoNT, Oct 3.--Not much has
been done at the Annual NJ. Il. Con
ference as the delegates have been
late getting lnto Gown and most OF
the time has been taken up finding
them places to stay while here.
From rough estimate, it is un
derstood that about 300 have ar
rived up to this time and over a
hundred more are expected.
The examination OF the conference
classes is finished AMI last night
was the anniversary meeting OF the
Freedman's Aid Society.
1t is given out upon good authori-
ty that there will be two trials Of
ministers of the NJ e. church dur
ing the Annual Conference which Is
now IN session at this place.
One will be that of Rev. L. III.
Shannon. of Cameron, WHO'S charged
with things his friends say are Gu
tirely false and whose purpose is
nothing more than blackmail There
is but little doubt that Mr.. Shannon
will be cleared of the charges.
The other will be that of Rev. j.
I. McElfresh, Of the First Ward, of
this place There have been charges
against Rev McElfresh of conduct
unbecoming to minister Of the
Gospel, which he and his many
friends claim are most unjust.
No time has yet been set for the
trials, but they will likely come up
the latter part Of the week.
The Times has the following to
say about prominent Morgantown
minister:
"Res. S V. Leeeh, pastor of the
First NJ f. church, Of Morgantewn
is one OF the most able ministers in
the State. He is great favorite
with his members and the towns
people and he has the unanimous
invitation from the conference to re-
turn for the fourth year Of service.
Dir. Leech has done much to build
up that church and it was through
his untiring efforts that the debt
was paid and a handsome pipe or
gan purchased"

South Park is paving. The people
Who have charge of affairs over there
have decided that they want brick
payements and they are proceeding To
get them as fast as work will bring
such a condition Of affairs to pass.
They do not believe In delays so they
have gone at it III very business like
manner.
Fifteen ortwenty teams are at work
and large force of men are engaged.
Other men are wanted aud advertise
ments have been published asking for
them TO come at good wages. The
scarcity of laborers may hold the inn
provements back to some extent but
they will be finished this fall all
right.
Ten thousand dollars will be expehd-
ed In placing the streets in good con-
dition. This will all go in paving.
More money will be spent on the
streets which are not to be paved at
this time. The curling is being cut
for the new paving and in short
time it will be set and the brick put
down.. The brick will be furnish ed
by local yards.
A small piece Of paving Is to be
done on North Front street. The
curbing has been cut and part of it
set. twill only take few days to
grade and pave this street If the men
can ever be gotten on it but it may
be some time before it is completed
however.
In other parts Of town the same
slowness which has been noticeable
ali summer is still the rule. It seems
impossible to set a move on in the
direction of paving. The streets are
torn to pieces and every time it rains
people who live along them have an
awful time with the mud. Maybe
something will be done before winter
sets in but 1t is hard to see how much
can be accomplished in the short
time remaining. 1t is certainly an
impossibility unless great big change
i is made in the methods of procedure.

one OF the best known men in West
Virginia, was a Lantz guest last
night. Speaking OF his home town,
Mr.. Wallace said that there was an
effort on foot to build a fair grounds
and race track down there. He said
that the absence Of fairs and racing
was one of the draw backs to his city.
A party Of the most Influential citi-
zens are at the head OF the enterprise

is Very Popular Building Boom Be-
ing Experienced in the West Side
suburb
The West side of the river is be-
ginning to attaact attention 1t has
been going right ahead and lmprov-
ing for the past few years nearly as
fast as the rest of the town but it
has not been exploited as July and
Its growth has escaped great deal
of the attention of the public which
has been attracted elsewhere Re
Gently however there have been some
transactions over there that have
caused interest to be taken in that
part of the city.
The purchases OF the Vance and
Keener farms by Bannister and
Brown and NJ Hirschman respec-
lively has helped this along. These
farms have been laid out in build
ing lots and will shortly be placed
on the marker Mr. Brown states
that an industrial plant Of some
kind will be established on part OF
the land in which his interested and
that this will be done to help devel-
OPP of the property.
A road is proposed to be built
down the west side of the river and
on an easy grade avoiding the high
hill which at present makes it SO
hard to get out of town. Several
plans are suggested for this, one Of
which may be successful. These
plans are not ready for publication.
The scheme OF paving the road
from the bridge to the forks of the
road near the Garrison pronerts is
still pending and it may be that it
will be carried out 1t is a very
feasible one and one that will be Of
vast benefit to the people of that
section If it can be done Granville
people are very anxious to have it
done.
Building on the west side is very
brisk at present and dozen new
houses are going up in that suburb.
All of them are neat and substan
tial and several of them are to be
fine residences. The town over there
is very pretty looking from this side
OF the river and it is getting better
all the time.
