Fairmont, Sept. 10-A branch rail-
road, running from a point IN the
lower Baltimore and Ohio railroad
yard at this place into Monongalia,

but other are interested. The Senators

coal land between Riverville, in this
county, and Arnettsville, in Monon-
gala, and it is their Intention in ord
er to develop same to erect a broad
gauge road connecting with the Paw
paw railroad that is being construct
ed from this city to Fairview, an old
town in this county, by way of
Riversville, and following the west
side of the river to Arnettsville. The
length of the proposed road will be
six miles for the present. 1t is said
that survey for the road and the
locations of mines will be made.
The number of mines that will be
opened with the six miles of road it is
not yet known. In Monongalia
county they are the owners of several
thousands acres of coal land. They
are the owners, it is said, of consid.
cradle railroad stock in various com.
panies running out of the State, and
which in almost every instance pass
through acres of coal and timber
lands. 1t is rumered here that rail
road company that has long had under

corps of engineers at work IN few

CELERY BLIGHT.

Editor Evening World IL have
been frequently asked the cause and
remedy of this disease so prevalent
this year. / will state that this NAL
adv may be checked by spraying once
n week with Ammonlcal copper
Carbonate, the formula of which is
as follows: / ounce OF copper Car
Donate, sufficient ammonia to dissolve
the copper water, nine gallons. The
cause is unqestlonably the condition
OF the weather, which destroys the
tender fibers or working roots of the
plant. In cool moist climates this dis
ease is unknown, proving that celery
has not the constitutional vigor to
withstand some Of our summers, con-
sequently when exposed TO the latter
conditions which favor the develope-
ment of the fungus are brought about
and the plant succumbs.
There are several species of blight,
all yielding to the same treatment.
AS cool weather approaches the
fungus closes Its activity, but the

A matter left over from the June

passed in regard TO it. As will be
seen Hon. George Q. Sturgiss made to
the Board Of Regents Of the University
a very eeneous proposal at its meeting
in June last
1t was Just as the Board was about
to adjourn, otherwise II might have
been taken up and some action taken.
However. the PROPOSALS, though linz
tied to September ist for their accept
anee we presume would be opened
and the time extended for the liberal
hearted citizens who would join Mr..
Sturgiss in his laudable efforts.
The Board unanimously adopted the
following:
Whereas, Hon. Geo. O.. Sturgiss
with trustworthy generosity sub
mitted TO the Board various PROPOSE
tions to make certain donations TO the
University as follows:
TO the Regents of the West Virginia

School of Music Building or one of
the ten to give a like sum each, to
build an Astronomical Observatory,
or one of 10 to give like sum each
to build Womans Dormitory, these
proposals to be open for your accept
ance till Sept. 1st next.
Geo. @. Sturgiss
June 20, 1901.
Resolved, That while the Board
unanimously appreciates and feels
grateful to Mr.. Sturgiss for his
generous offers it regrets that it is
unable at this time to meet the con-
ditlons and join with him in his com
mendable efforts.
Resolved, That Mr.. Sturgiss pro-
positions be filed and preserved and
thatthe Secretary of this Board trans
NIT to him copy of this action.

things but took no definite action. A

Now Harvey's Lake Again.

1t is not generally known that the
officials of the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Co., in view of the fact adduced by
Oscar J. Harvey in his pamphlet on
Harvey's Lake published last sum-
mer), anil for other reasons, have re-
changed the name of their station on
the northwest shore of the lake from
"Shawansee Lake" to"Harvey's Lake.
The name always was a mlsht, and
there never was a time when the trains
were not called out at the station for
"Harvey's Lake" Itappears that the
body of water on the old map, named
Shawanese Lake, was not Harvey's
Lake at all, but Lake Ganoga, fifteen
miles away, in the adjoining county o.
Sullivan. 1t now only remains for the
postoffice department to restore the
old name of the Lake, or better still,
give it the name Harvey's Lake.

The Hymn Didn't Suit.

G.. w. Genzler, pastor of the First
Lutheran Church, at Selinsgrove, does
not mince words when, aroused to a
profound sense of duty, he has occa-
sion to administer rebuke in line
with that duty. Sunday, after the
plate was passed, the congregation
sang the hymn, "We Give Thee,
Lord, Thine Own" Upon inspection
the preacher found that pennies con-
stituted the main contribution, where
upon he told his people that such con-
tributions were not consistent with the
words they had sung He stated that
many would spend fifty cents or dol
lar to be entertained in the Opera
House during the week, and on Sun
day give cent or two to be enlight
ened in the Word of God.
