Col w. w. Arnett on Monday
wired Dir. ]. w. Hartigan that the
writ OF prohibition asked for In his
behalf had been granted by the SUI
preme Court Judge to whom the case
had been carried. The circuit court
Judge Hon. John w. Mason had waiv-
ed his right TO pass on the petition

ment on it,.

ter going into the merits of the petit

gents were notified of the proposed re-
moval that DR.. Hartigan was not

were not given him, that he was not
allowed TO appear In his own behalf,
that one Of the regents was not res

combined made IL a very strong paper.

BURNED A FORTUNE.
Bag of Diamonds DESTROYED at
Moundsville.
Were in Chest Protector of n Convict
Robbery for Which he Was Sem
fenced Occurred In Preston County
Booty Either Burned or Thrown
away History OF the Gems.

But few people in Moundsville
know that fortune in diamonds
was either destroyed by fire or is
lying in one of the many cinder
walks that have been made of Gin
ders hauled from the boiler room 6f
the big State prison at Moundsville.
Yet such is true. and more than one
person among those who are ac-
quainted with the facts has spent
many hours walking slowly along
with his eyes on the ground, hoping
to be rewarded for his trouble by
finding one or more OF the sparklers.
About six years ago Ed Howard
robbed a passenger train on the
Baltimore d. Ohio railroad while it
was running through tunnel in
in Preston county. Among other
valuables taken were number of
costly diamonds. The victim dis.
covered his loss before the train
reached station, and Howard was
arrested, charged with the crime,
Although part of the stolen goods
were found on his person, he had
succeeded in concealing the dia-
monds so very skillfulIy that the
most thorough search failed to re.
veal them, nor were they ever found
In due time he was tried in the
Circuit Court OF Preston county and
sentenced to serve term Of years
in the penitentiary at Moundsville.
When he was received at the pen
itentiary he was stripped of the
clothing which he wore and attlred
in the prison garb. When he ar.
rived he wore q heavy silk chest pro-
tecter, which he requested that he
might retain, saying his lungs were
weak. The prison authorities grant
ed his request and he wore it until
his death, which occurred suddenly
when his term was about half com
pleted. His clothing, including the
chest protector, were thrown in the
furnace and burned, this being the
disposition made of the clothing Of
dead convicts.
Towards wife, who resided in an
eastern city, was notified of his
death and wired to hold the BODY
until her arrival, but it was impossi-
BILE to do so. and it was inferred in
the prison cemetery, which adioins
the penitentiary. In few days the,
faithful wife arrived at Moundsville
and said she intended to remove the
body OF her husband to her home.
She inquired if the schest protector
had been buried with him. When
Informed that it had been burned
she broke down and wept bitterly.
saying that it was present from
herself and she hoped to have had
it as keepsake, but she finally SAID
that the diamonds had been conceal
ed in it. She did not take the body
back to her home, but it was taken
up at her request and bnried in
lot which she purchased in Mt Rose
cemetery.
There are number of people who
think that the diamonds were raked
out with the ashes, but the heat was
probably so great that they were en-
tirely consumed.

Town councils Of all of the towns
met on Monday night to certify the
results of the elections which were
held on last Thursday. South Nor.
gantown meeting was expected to
be the most interesting because they
had the verdict of the election com
missioners in sealed envelope. In
this was the name OF the mayor who
was selected by the commissioners
casting lots as required by the ordi
dance in case of tie.
However the members of the coun-
Gil were not curious enough to open
the packet and it went over until
the next meeting next Monday night
when they will open it and find out
who was elected The other bust
ness taken up was routine in its ma
ture and not interesting to the gen
eral public.
A called meeting of the Seneca
council was held. They canvassed
the election returns. Paving was
talked of and committee consist
ing of Councilman West and Jami-
son was appointed to look into the
price of CURLING and other material
that is to be used The ADVERTISE
ment for bids will be sent out soon
and the contracts will be let as soon
as possible. CURLING will be set at
once.
Morgantown town council receiy-
ed the resignation of Col. S. A. Pos
ten as mayor but they laid it on the
table Col. Posten has gone south
and will not be here any more DUR
ing his term of office. He desired
to be released from office but coun
Gil refused to accept the resignation
w. f. Arnett the recorder will act
in his stead until the new officers
are sworn in.
The ordinances in regard to the
Morgantown Oil and Gas Co, and
the Morgantown Electric Light and
Power Co., passed the second read
ings. The former wants franchise
to put gas into the town of Morgan
town to lay mains and do other work
that will be necessitated under such
a franchise. The council will dis
pose of this matter finally at its next
meeting.
The Morgantown Electric Light
and Power Company wants it's fran
chise amended They want the pro.
vision that the town now has to
place the wires underground at any
time amended. The company does
not want to be subject to this re-
striction. The ordinance striking
out the provision has passed the
second reading and it will be dis
posed of finally at the next meeting.
At the time the ordinance was
passed there was strong sentiment
in favor of the council having the
right if they wanted to exercise it to
have the wires placed underground
and this sentiment is still being felt
over town. The company claims
that it is unnecessary and would
put them to a needless expense.

Anna Clark was shot and instantly
killed by Vernon Kelly a neighbor
while at supper last night Kelly
had brought the revolver over for
the protection of the Clark girls who
had lost their parents recently.
There had been some cases of house
breaking and they were afraid.
Kelly offered to lend them revolver
ana they accepted it.
Coming over he had tried the weap-
on several times and il failed to
explode. While fooling with it after
entering the house the weapon went
off and the ball went through Miss
Clark's heart killing her instantly.
Kelly was almost distracted and
tried to kill himself but was prevented.
He came to Waynesburg and surrend-
cred to the officers. The accident
occurred at Morrisville small town

IRON SHIPPED.


Charles caldwell OF the firm Of
Caldwell s. Drake has been informed
that the first car load OF iron to be
used on the new University buildings
has been shipped and tnat 1t will
reach Morgantown this week. These
buildings are going up very rapidly
but they could have been put up much
faster ii the weather conditions had
been anticipated. The force engaged
is not very large one and usually
the weather is so bad at this season
that none at all could be worked. The
contractors are feeling good over the
progress that they are making.

Another body is thought to be in
the debris of the wreck which is now
being removed by all of the available
WfecKlng crews.
The accident took place on trestle
at a sharp curve. Neither crew saw
the other until the engines were on
each other. 1T was too late to jump
band the deadly crash came. The
track was torn up and the trestle de-
molished by the accident.
One of the engines was running
light and the other one was pulling a
heavy freight. Both were running at
high rate of speed when the accident
took place. 1t is the worst in the
history of the road. All trains have
been blockaded. The morning train
to Pittsburg was several hours late in
consequence of the accident,

CONGRESS MAY BE CALLED.
Statesmen Think Body May Be Con
vened in Extra Seasion

vened in Extra Session.
The probability of President McKinley
issuing call for an extra session of the
F1fty-seventh Congress engrossed the at
tention Of government. officials when the
Supreme Court decision was made public
Opinions as to the necessity for callins
congress together in advance of the regu
lar session in December differ, says cor,
respondent, but it is significant fact
that some of the best equipped men in
public life. men of experience and judg-
ment, believe that the President canno,
escape calling Congress together.
Others Of his friends and advisers point
to the fact that Congress in enacting the
Spooner Philippine amendments last Feb
ruary authorized the President to fix n
tariff for the archipelago and declare
without reservation that he can proceed
under authority Of that act to adjust the
affairs Of the Philippines so they will
come within the scope Of the courts de-
cision. One of the justices of the Su-
preme Court said, however. that he did
not believe that Congress could lawfully
invest the President with authority tc
establish tariff regulations or laws in the
Philippines any more than it could dele
gate him with authority to enact a tariff
law for the United States. This view is
shared by many of the Presidents closest
friends
Ex-senator Chandler was quite conf.
dent that the only recourse of the Presi-
dent is to issue a call for an extra ses-
sion. Senators and Representatives in
Washington all feel that the likelihood
Of Congress being convened in an extra.
ordinary session before July 1 is very
strong

the DE LIMA CASE.
States so that lower duties may be charg-
oil in tho philipDines

States so that lower duties may be charg
ed in the Philippines.
1t is settled, furthermore, that the in
ternal revenue duties levied on this conti
nent will not have to be levied in Porte
Rico and the Philippines, where condi
tions are so different from what they are
here that their imposition would be mex
pedient, not to say unjust. Congress may
legislate for the insular possessions with
out being bound by any revenue provis
ions Of the constitution. That instrument
does not follow the flag so far as tax
alton is concerned, nor as regards GER
tain political rights.
An Obiter dictum of the court which
no one will take exception to is to the
effect that certain rights, like that of the
freedom Of speech and religious worship
which are in the bill of rights Of the con-
stitution, go to the new possessions with
the flag and cannot be taken away by
Congress.
Some of the cases decided by the court
related to the collection Of duties between
the date of ratification of peace and that
Of the enactment Of the Foraker law oil
last year. Here the court holds the dl-
ties were improperly collected. This is
defeat for the government. but it involves
merely the refunding of some duties. The
decision in the Downs case. which holds
that at this time Porto Rico is terri
tory "appurtenant to and belonging to the
United States, but not part Of the Unit
ed States" is the important decision. 1t
sustains fully the view Of Congress and
the administration as to the status OF
these insular possessions.

CREED REVISION WINS.
Presbyterian Assembly Adopts til
Majority Renort

Presbyterian Assembly Adopts the
Majority Report.
After a contest that has lasted many
years the progressive party in the Pres.
byterian Church Of the United States
has gained its first substantial victory
The general assembly has voted for q
partial revision, and for a restatement OF
certain doctrines of the faith. How
much Of a restatement this will lead to or
how great a revision will be made is un-
important in comparison with the move
ment itself, which has broken down the
strong wall that has hitherto fenced of
the Westminster confession of faith as
something peculiarly holy, not to be
touched by the hand Of man.
In adopting the majority report of the
committee Oh creed revision the Philadel-
phia assembly went on record formally
as favOring a new summary of the con-
fession. Without unnecessary delay or
oratory the last step toward manifest
ing its will was taken Monday forenoon,
and the most important business that has
come before the body of commissioners
in many years was transacted. Mod
orator Henry Collin Minton will name
the special commission to formulate a
shorter statement to be of equal author
ity with the present standards, and the
summary this commission prepares will
be submitted next May. II adopted 1t
will be sent down to the presbyteries for
ratification to become a part Of the con-
stitution Of the church.
p In addition TO the above business the
assembly decided to hold its next meet
ing in New York as the guest of the
Fifth Avenue Church. 1t is generally
predicted that at that time the mortgage
on the Presbyterian building in New York
will be burned.
