The Na,ae of the New City.

To the Editor NEW DOMINION.
The Doctor was riding at breakneck
speed and met neighbor Smith who
inquired how they all were over at
neighbor Jones. The Doctor replied,
without Stacking his pace, 81 have just
been called in there, and learned on
the way that the affair was all over,
the boy is born and they have named
him Anthony" Neighbor Smith went
on his way Ia soliloquizing mood,
aud said to himself the naming of the
child was premature. The neighbors
and friends ought to have been con-
suited and some determination taken
about naming the new boy, no matter
if all other preliminaries connected
with the transaction were hurriedly
done. What shall be the name of the
new city? its greatly feared by some
that our able and progressive Delegate
in the House, will unthoughtedly and
hurriedly, like the Jones household,
allow the child to be called AN
thony" 10 the city charter. Now. Mr..
Editor, this will never do. The char
tered name of the present town is,
Morgantown. The morgan is all
right, the ''town" as an affix, is all
wrong. How would the ''city Of Nor
gantown." or "Morgantown city,"
read? There is in either name a pal
pable and fundamental Inconsistency
"a bad mixing Of city and town in
one short name. If we are going to
have city let US quit the town bust
ness. A becoming pride, and COM
mendable ambition, if nothing else,
should cause US TO sshiteh our wagon
to STAR" If we ever hope to survive
the name, let US not call it, THE
city of Morgantown or Morgantown
city," Posterity will hold us respon-
sible. 1t was named after an old
honored family whose gallant deeds
are chronicled in local history and
handed down from pioneer days for
more than a century by tradition un-
til now. Tell Mr.. Grant not TO name
the child until he hears from the
neighbors. As he is the putatiye
father of the city he should be heard
also. | suggest The chartered name
shall be Morgan City. Let the NEW
DOMINION call for new names, and let
all the neighbors be heard before the
child is wickedly and prematurely
called Anthony. | shall be content il

name from the list submitted to you

ton to show Cause why ii should not
be Made Permanent.
The official notice of the issuance
OF the writ OF prohibition which had
been given DR.. j. w. Hartigan by
the Supreme Court was received
here on Wednesday morning from
Charleston Supreme Clerk J. w
Holly forwarded it to Circuit Clerk
w. +. Glasscock. The notice was
given to Sheriff Greenberry Barrick
man who served it at noon ON Hon
George G. Sturgiss.
IL was served on him as Presiden,
of the board and as member of that
body. The notice requires him and
all other members Of the board col
lectively and individually to appear
before the Supreme Court in Charles
ton on January 10Th to show cause
If any why the temporary writ which
has been issued shall not be made d
permanent one.
The notice is addressed to each
member of the board and sets forth
the fact that a temporary writ has
been issued which prohibits them
from carrying out the void order
which they passed at the Parkers
burg meeting Diminishing DR.. Harti
gan from his position in the Univer-
slty. This was TO have taken effect
in March but in the meantime il
will be decided by the courts as to
whether or not il will then be exc
cuted.
On the meeting Of the Supreme
Court 1t will be one Of the first things
taken up for consideration. Mr. Stur-
giss will probably appear as counsel
for the board as he has appeared in
the other proceedings which have been
instituted against that body In the
courts recently.
In the meantime there will be moth
Ing, but the first victory rests with Dr.
Hartigan who has the support of all
who are at all conversant with the
situation and the hope Is universal In
Morgantown and the state generally
that he will win on the final line up.
And there is little doubt but that he
will.

GRIP
Our Russian Friend again With
Suffering Humanity.

Scores of Cases OF Grip are In the Com
munity-Claim that the Disease is
Losing its TerrOrs = However few
Think so From Their own Exper-
ienee-Ree0rd Established in South
Morgantown.
Every winter grip makes a circuit.
The victims are numbered by the
hundreds and every community feels
the weight Of the visitation. During
It's prevalence the victims have only
the very poorest opinion of life aud
few OF them think that it is worth
living while they are under The spell
Of the Russian visitor who like many
Others from foreign countries makes
itself very much at home with us.
This winter is no exception 10 the
rule and the epidemic is now here.
For several weeks 1t has been making
it highly interesting for people Of
other towns but at last it has reached
Mofgantown with its attendant train
of evils in the shape of coughs, colds,
sore eyes, headache, bone ache, rheu-
matism, neuralgia and other delight
full cousins.
Every physician is busy with grip
patients. From every hand comes
complaints Of the ravages of the cpl
demic. No one ever dies or very rare
ly does such fate overtake the vic
tim but every one who has it feels
that he will be unfortunate enough
to survive the ordeal when death
would be much more pleasant afford
ing blessed relief from the tortures
inflicted by the malady.
1t is claimed that the visitation
this year is much milder than formerly
and that we are becoming immune
from the attack. 1t may be the case
but few people who have the disease
will admit this while the boiler fac
tory is in full blast In their eraniums.
The theory of those who make this
claim of mildness is that we have had
it so often that it is losing its power
over us as in the case of the Persians
who know nothing whatever OF pure
water or sanitation also know nothing
whatever of typhoid fever. The
germs which kill us are but meat to
the stomach of a Persian.
For the past few days the weather
conditions have been extremely favor
able to the development of grip and it
has fionrished like green bay tree all
over town. One family in South Nor
gantown reports five out of eight
members down with the malady.

L. v. KICK.
Selected by Election Commissioners in
South Morgantown Fer Mayor.

1t has leaked out that the cleo
tion commissioners Of South Nor
gantown in deciding the tie which
resulted in the municipal election
over there on last Thursday selected
Mr l.. V. Keck for the office. He
had tied with Hosea Stansberry each
receiving the same number of votes.
The ordinance over there requires
the commissioner in such case to
east lots. They did so and they
chose Mr.. keck The council did
not open the scaled packet on Mon
day night and they are as yet un
officially acquainted with the result.
However the tact Of the choice has
been revealed.
1t 10 claimed by some that Mr..
Keek is not eligible on account of
not having been resident the re-
quired length of time, six months
He was not an active candidate for
the position.

No Confirmation OF the Rum0red
Award OF a Contract to Build the new
Line.
Fresh currency was given to the
report that Andrew Carnegie CON
templated building a railroad from
Pittsburg to the Atlantic seaboard
says the Times. A dispatch from
Philadelphia stated that Mr.. Car
negie had given contract to build
$50 miles Of the road TO the Drake
and Stratton company, of New York,
which also has branch in Pitts
burg, for 25,000,000 and that the
road was to run from Pittsburg to
Uniontown, and thence to Baltimore
where the Carnegie interests were
said to have secured an option on a
broad deep water front
From Philadelphia also came a
report that j. Wainwright, president
of the Drake 4 Stratton company,
who was in that city yesterday, de
MED that his company had secured
such contract from Mr. Carnegie.
Mr.. Wainwright is quoted as pro-
nouncing the story rot"
G. NJ. Schwab, president of the
carnegie company, declines to dis
cuss the matter at all. The report
was declared untrue at the offices of
the Pittsburg, Bessemer and Lake
Erie railroad, which is a Carnegie
concern. 1t was stated by one of
the latter road emphatically that
Mr.. Carnegie had awarded no CON
tract for building a railroad.

PROBABLY QUAY.
Hon. w. S Guffey, of Pittsburg
Thinks That Way.


ly When He has the Coin to get what
He Wants Bribery Rife at Harris
burg how Charges Of This Charae-
ter are ShelYed.
Hon. w. S. Guffey, of Pittsburg.
has been here looking after some
business deals in this county ia
which he is interested. He has been
a heavy purchaser of coal lands in
the county and it was to look after
one of his numerous deals that he
came up this time While in town
he was seen by the New DOMINION.
Mr.. Guffey is one of the most APP
proachable men Imaginable and it is
a pleasure to talk to him. He is
very well known all oyer the state
and he is very popular wherever he
gees. As leader of the Democracy
in Allegheny county he was asked
about the chances of the election OF
Senator Quay in Pennsylvania.
They say they have Quay licked
but | shouldn't like to bet any mon
ey that way, was his answer. The
old man is very sharp old fellow
and he is hard to down. He does
not hesitate at using any means to
accomplish his ends and he has the
happy faculty Of picking the people
which will fall into his plans for the
proper consideration.
Every time that there is row
raised over bribery and it is inyesti-
gated the legislature has the men
who are suspected bound over to
await the action Of the grand jury.
They may be indicted as several
were after the last session but they
are turned loose by nolle as the
men who were under indictment at
ter the last session.
This serves notice on the next
batch that they are free to do what
they choose without fear Of being
punished. They are now taking adj
vantage OF this immunity. There
isn't any doubt in the world that
several of the men who have come
out for Quay have been bought. It
could be proven at any time but that
makes no difference.
Quay will probably go back to
the senate but he will go as result
of purchased votes. This will make
no difference to the Senate which
only makes boiler over the coming
OF a Democrat under such condi-
lions. With Quay and Mark Han
ma it is entirely different.

Courses Of a Patent.

In the course of its progress through
the office, up to the issue and mailing
or "a patent, an application passes
through the hands Of fifty-two per-
sons. An appiscant pays SIS to have
his claim examined, and in case he is
granted patent an additional fee OF
$40 is required. Attorneys charge
from $25 up, according to the work
demanded by the cases, and as the
applications number about 10000
yearly, it will be seen that there is a
good deal OF money to be divided
among the patent lawyers whose signs
cover the faces Of the buildings in the
vicinity Of the Patent Office, An in
ventor is not required to employ an
attorney, but probably 80 out Of 100
do.

rEAMERs,

Out in the Copley field the roads are
in a terrible condition and teamsters
are having hard time OF it. Word
comes from there of team that got
stuck in the mud few lays ago. All
of the horses but one were extricated
with difficulty, hut one was SO firmly
imbedded that it was impossible to
pry it out with levers, and it was de-
clded TO pull it out with other horses.
Ten horses were attached to it and it
is said that it was literally torn COM
pleted in two, presenting a CHASTITY
spectacle. The men engaged in the
affair were arrested and taken to the

Washington, April s.-The news of

sisted upon by the United States was
eagerly read and seriously discussed
IN cabinet circles. The administra-
fion's view cannot be stated more
clearly than by giving the words of
member of the cabinet who talked
about this not unexpected develop
ment. The cabinet minister said:
There is nothing for the president to
do but to continue the present military
government of Cuba. Congress has au-
thorlZed the president to withdraw from
CUBA and turn the government over to
The inhabitants of the island upon the
acceptance by the Cubans of certain con-
dltlons. The president cannot withdraw
the military government until these con-
ditions have been accepted by Cuba or
until congress has modified it's directions
Congress Must Decide.
Nothing can be done in the way of
negotiations at this time. The whole
matter must so over until congress re-
assemblies next winter. The Platt amend
ment is binding upon the PRESIDENT He
mas no authority to agree to any other
plan than the one prescribed by congress-
Even if negotiations should be carried
on between the president and a Cuban
commission before the meeting of con-
gress resulting in drawing up a plan
which would be acceptable both to the
Cubans and to the United States, it
could not be acted upon in any way
