Deputy United States Marshal Dan
lei w. Cunningham who has been on
the hunt for "moonshiners" and other
yiolators of the United States laws for
some days, has returned from Spring
Creek and Brushy Falls, In the north
ern section of Greenbrier county, and
reports great many cases OF small
pox In that part al the county. The
locality Is in sparsely settled region

GERS have thoroughly quarantIned the

The Mems Meeting.

Every available specialists, par
lers, Sunday school rooms and audi
forum of the Presbyterian church
was filed last night with men. It
was congregation such as would in
spire any speaker TO do his best.
Evangelist Smith was at his best.
Morgantown has learned TO know
what that means. AS he brought be-
fore the minds of the vast body Of
men, the horror OF sin and the riches
of grace in Christ Jesus, the rapt at
tention Of everyone indicated the So
Der consideration they were giving his
words The text was Fec. i0:S s'And
who so breaketh an hedge, serpent
shall bite him. 1t was shown how
God places hedges around men to help
and restrain them. Some of these
hedges are: The gospel, the church,
the home, the conscience, who so
breaketh one of these hedges or goes
into doubt. into dishonesty, into
gambling, into drinking, into immor-
ality is bitten by a serpent, his own
deeds punish him. Vivid illustra-
tions and forcjble presentation of the
gospel message seemed TO cause every
man there to think seriously on his
own souls condition. Very many in
dicated their desire for the prayers
of christian men. About fifteen sign
ed pledges stating their intention of
henceforth leading christian lives.
Old residents say that last nights
service was the greatest religious
meeting for men ever held in Morgan
town-greatest in numbers, greatest
in results.
Evangelist Smith is already moving
the town. Great things are expected
during the one more week that he can
remain with us.

The Seneca School.

There has been an inclination in
some quarters to complain because
there has been no school building
erected in Seneca. The question has
often been considered by the board
and the building will be provided as
soon as it is possible TO do so. In the
meantime we can say that the build
ing now in use is suitable; 1t is com
Portable, light and clean. The school
there is not so crowded as some of the
rooms in Morgantown and very excel
lent work is being done. New seats
were put in the room last fall and
other provements made that have
added much to the place and much to
the comfort Of the children and the
efficiency Of the work.

DEVELOPMENT GOES ON
West Virginia Coal and Timber Lands
are Highly in Demand.

CLARKsBURG, w Va, Jan. 10.-The
Watsons, of Fairmont, w. Va, are
now coal kings of West Virginia 1t
is said that deal was closed where
by they acquired every coal plant
between Clarksburg and Fairmont,
except the plants of the Monongah
Coal q Coke Company, the Hutchin-
sons and John A. Clark. 1t is re-
ported that they have purchased the
plants of the Riverside Coal d Coke
company, Alexander Coal Company,
Glen Falls Coal d Coke company,
Cook Coal d Coke company, Viropa
Coal company and the Farnum Coal
company. The purchase prices could
not be ascertained except that they
paid $105.00O for the Glen Falls
plant and $4,000 for the Scion
Lowry plant
This deal was no surprise to ''those
on the inside as it has been rumor
ed for some time that the Watsons,
who are the largest coal operators in
the Fairmont region, would endeavor
TO absorb all of the independent
plants in the Fairmont-C larkshurg
region. BY the transaction, they
become the largest producers of coal
in West Virginia and will have a
daily capacity of more than 100000
tons. This sounds the death knell
to the small coal operators in this
region, as it leaves the Watsons, the
Monongah Coal & Coke company
and JOHN A. Clark, who are 4on
friendly terms, in absolute control
of the coal business These three
companies own and control about %
plants, including the Watson's new
acquisitions.

NEW GAS COMPANY.
Sharp Competition Promised In Fuel
for FairmOnt.

FAIRMoNT, Jan. 1.-THE Fairmont
Gas Company is the name OF new
corporation just formed and its pro-
moters are picked from Fairmont's
monied men. Indications go to show
that the enterprise will be carried TO
completion. There is not the slight
est likelihood that they will partly
erect and sell out for the purpose of
making stake" Efforts are being
made to get the plant in operation by
July l, 1901. The formation of this
company is said TO be due to the fact
that the present gas rates are entirely
too high, both for manufacturing and
domestic purposes, while the present
company is OF the opinion that gas
cannot be produced for a much less
price than that now being charged,
taking everything Into consideration.
The stockholders Of the new company
have formed rough estimate of the
amount which they think will build
the line and the figures are placed at
$50. 900. The sources from which
they calculate on getting the gas, 1t
can be got In great quantities. At
torney Fay Hartley appeared alta meet
ing of Council and asked that they be
granted franchise. 1t was given
and solicitors were put to work in
different parts Of town and surpris-
ing number have already signed the
contracts and agree to use their gas.
At least two hundred have signed
contracts, solicited by John l. Swind-
Ter ia the First ward.

CARD FOR US.
L. NJ. Grant Has Been Looking After
Interests Of Morgantown.

Hon. E. Nj. Grant, Manager of the
company which furnishes Morgan
towns gas in the New DOMINION
gives very interesting talk on the
gas question and speaks of the hard.
ships which will surely fall upon
the consumers in case there IL a gas
war, or rival company enters the
field says the Fairmont Times. Our
people here are willing to try a ri
val company at any rate We must
have cheaper gas and to secure it
we will pay any penalty a rival com.
pany will inflict We are not SO
anxious about a rival company.
The old company has done well,
and If it could now furnish gas so
that we could complete with other
towns in establishing industries
there would not be word of com
plant, but when it is unable to do
so, and another concern comes along
and offers to do it, and place us on
an equality with other cities, we
will give the new concern most
cordial welcome. 1t is cheap gas
we are after, and are not so choice
as to who furnishes it. We have al
ways understood that Mr.. Grants
Company has taken special care of
Morgantown.

The month Of January takes its
name from Janus, one OF the gods of
pagan mythology. He was usually
painted with two faces, with one Of
which he was thought to look back
upon the old year, and forward with
the other to the new. The Roman
year originally commenced in March.
1t had but ten mouths until Numa
Pompilius, who died B. @. 672, added
January and February. January is
usually the coolest month OF the
twelve, hence the adage,

So the cold strengthens.

New tame Law Proposed.

A local sportsman who is very much
interested In the matter has proposed
that new game law In relation to
the killing of deer be passed. In no
other state is man allowed to kill
more than two deer in season and
he proposes that we have the same
law in this state. Otherwise we are
sure to be at the end Of our string in
the deer line before very many years.
The present rate Of slaughter is some
thing awful and means the extinction
Of the animals In very short time
unless stopped.
