STATE HOME.
For Odd Fellows To BE Located at
Fairmont.

Fairmont people are very much
elated over the fact that the State
Home for the /. o. o. +. of West
Virginia is to be located there. The
committee, however, was wise in its
selection, as Fairmont offered the
best advantages of any town in the
state. Warrington and Pennsboro
strove hard to secure the home, and
as Mannington's offer was particular
ly good, the committee had con-
siderable trouble in arriving at a
decision.
The home will be erected on ten
acres of ground, valued at S., 600,
and which was donated by Levi b.
Harr, real estate broker, and the
Fairmont Trust Company. The
land is bea u,ifully located on the
east side Of the river, near East
Park, the new addition which was
recently opened up. Other dona-
tons to the home are SO, 900 in cash
from the Marion county !. O. o. 7. ;
free gas for five years, furnishing of
the parlor and four bedrooms in the
home, by the citizens Of Fairmont,
which, including the value Of toe
property donated, makes a total
donation Of SIS, 800 to the home.
The home will cost between $50,
600 and SIS, 900 and will be modern.
ly equipped throughout. Here the
old and inhrm odd Fellows, Their
widows and orphans, will be cared
for. Nothing further will be done
about the building until the report
Of the committee is confirmed b,
the grand lodge this fall, after which
time the plans for the building viii
be made and the contract let. The
third story Of the building will con
tain an auditorium to be used fol
meetings Of the grand lodge. Thh
city will in all probability be mad,
the permanent meeting place Of
home Of the grand lodge.
East Park avenue which is nov
being opened up, will be extended
to the avenue upon which the HON,
site fronts, and the street car lin,
will also be extended TO the home

A NARROW ESCAPE.

The special evangelist and camp
meeting worker from New Jersey,
Rev. w. b. Osborne who was
secured to lead the services at
the Tunnelton Camp Meeting had
a narrow escape from death Mon
day morning at Tunnelton. He
had received word Sunday that
his daughter was very i'll and he
telegraphed home for further partic-
ulars, and early Monday morning
went down to the telegraph Office,
located in the cut near the tunnel,
to see If there was any reply to his
telegram. A freight train passed
and No. s the fast express from the
west was just behind the freight and
running very slow, as good luck
would have 1t for the preacher, who
got bewildered in the early morning
fog and so many trains and got
right in the way OF the express,
which scoopcd him up on the pilot
and carried him to Rowlesburg
before he was discovered. Had
the train been running its usual
speed the conclusion would have
killed him. AS it was he was hurt
more or less but not dangerously
injured. He retained conscious
ness and held on like grim death till
the train stopped for water across
the river at Rowlesburg. He was
taken to the hotel and DIR. Proud :
foot has been attending him since
and says he will be all right in a
few days, but it was a miraculous
escape and would not happen again
in thousand times. Rev. Osborne
is over seventy years of age but
vigorous and well preserved man,
large and with good constitution,
to butt up against a fast express
train.
