Scholarship Vacant.

The Laurens county scholarship In the
Charleston College which has been held
by E. M. Henderson, son Of DR.. Hen
derson of Waterloo, is vacant. The va
cancy was caused by young Hender-
sons obtaining one OF the college
scholarships worth $4,000 a year aud
free tuition besides. This shows that
young Henderson is a fine boy and that
you can't keep a Laurens boy down
County Superintendent Brooks and
Probate Judge Thompson will arrange
for a competitive examination to fill
the county scholarship, which gives
the boy free tuition, and perhaps some
other Laurens boy will get it who will
reflect as much credit on his county as
young Henderson has reelected.

FIRE LAST NIGHT,
Residence of John Van Glider
Consumed by Flames.

Gas Came on Strong and Set the Kitch.
en- ON Fire-Furniture In Rest OF
House was Saved-There was no In
surance on the Property.
Fire last night totally destroyed the
residence OF John 0. Van Glider east
Of town. The blaze was discovered
shortly after one o'clock this morning
An alarm was given and the whistles
In town sounded the alarm but moth
Ing could be done to fight the flames
A large crowd collected 10 short
time. There was no means of fight
Ing the fire except by the bucket bri-
gade and the flames had already toe
much Roadway tor this to be effective
and attention was directed solely tt
saving the household effects.
The fire had started In the kitchen
which was built OF logs and bearded
over. 1t burned slowly and all of the
furniture and other effects in the res.
Of the house was gotten out. That
In the rest or kitchen part was de.
stroyed.
The loss is about 81, 200 with no in
suTance.
Mr.. Van Glider was attacked by
paralysis some time ago and had to be
taken to the house of a neighbor.
The night was very cold and there
was lots of wind which made the fire
burn flercer than it otherwise would
have done.
The Gre started In the kitchen from
q gas fire. 1t is thought that the
pressure came on stronger 10 the
night and caused the woodwork
around the chimney to take fire.
Everyone sympathizes with Mr.. Van
Glider in his loss which is quite a
heavy one.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS.
COnnellsville Newa Tells of the CT Os.
ing incidents of the Sad Taking of
OfFlOyd N. Frum.

The following is taken from las
nights Connellsville News 1t will be
read with interest by many our peo-
pie:
Floyd N Frum, the smallpox pa
tient who has been isolated in Balti-
more and Ohio railroad camp car at
the northern edge of the borough linn
its since Monday night, December /,
thismorning at 15 o'clock drew bis last
breath. From the first the physicians
who examined him had grave hopes
as to his recovery and his death this
morning was not surprise to them.
Soon after he was found TO be suffer
ing with the disease he began having
hemorrhages beneath the skin all over
his body, which form of the disease is
known as hemorrhagic smallpox.
DR.. White, the local member Of the
State Board of Health, has seen that
every possible precaution has been
taken to prevent spread of the dis
ease and it is believed that no furth-
er trouble will be experienced. The
body will be buried in Hill Grove Gem.

road company tonight after dark
The coffin for the body was secured
from Undertaken Sims, though he
will have nothing whatever to do
with the burial OF the body which
will be looked after by the physicians,

penses.
A telegram was sent by DR.. White
to the father Of the deceased at
Ciarksburg, w. Va, this morning.
No one will be permitted to witness
the burial except those who are alb
solutely needed to place the body
under ground. The deceased was a
young man with promising future

may be seen from the following reso-
buttons which were adopted:
Resolved, by this meeting OF citizens
| of Morgautown and Monongahela

And we hereby serve notice on those
who are now scheming TO evade the
law and upon all others who are cumbin
ing or may hereafter combine TO force
the open saloon upon this community.
that no matter how much money they
may be willing to spend, or how long
they may keep up the fight, we will
wage an unremitting. unrelenting
and uncompromising war against
such an iniquity by every lawful

we can raise dollar or have forlorn
hope to hang upon"

Short talks were made by number Of
people among them being Mr.. Stur-
giss, Mr.. Poston, Mr.. Snee aud Profs.

All OF the speakers aroused much
cheering and the disposition to light
to the last against the Fairmont
Brewery and its branch was manifest.
One Of the speakers alluded to the
fact that 500 had been given to Cox
and Baker and $50 to Mr.. Goodwin to

himself to aid the plan without pay.

Temperance Crusade at Morgantown.

The Fairmont Brewing Co. is hav-
ing some trouble in Morgantown n
disposing of its wares. Recently
legal proceedings were brought to stoI
the sale OF the best beer ever made,
10 town which will have nothing OF
the kind. Mr.. Fry the agent Of the
company, has been required to give
bond until the case can be heard, In
the higher courts. The difference
here mentioned has been the means
of starting a temperance wave over
| that city, and twelve hundred drink
ers have signed the pledge, those who
never drink having no need to sign.
The crusade against John Barleycorn
is taking on large dimensions. Let
the good work go on. Morgantown

Railroad talk is pegi inning TO be
heard on every side. A new line Into
Morgantown is promised in the fol-
ling special from Connellsville:
Baltimore & Ohio railroad engin-
GERS are Surveying an extension Of the
Confluence s. Oakland branch, The
contemplated extension diverts to the
right at point near the present ter
minus OF the road and strike of
through the mountainous portion OF
Fayette county into Northern West
Virginia.
The object of the extension Is 70
open up large timber and coal tracts
which are now practically kept out OF
the market owing to their isolation
from the railroad. The extension
would connect with the Baltimore &
Ohio again at Morgantcwn, making a
short line between Northern West
Virginia and eastern points on the
main line of the Baltimore s. Ohio.
Wharton township would be the
greatest gamer by the new road.
There are coal deposits Of great vnlue
there and timber lands that are I'M
possible to develop unless railroad
is built into them.
Options have been taken on thous-
ands OF acres of coal and timber along
the proposed line. The engineers now
have their headquarters at Farming
ton and are working towards Morgan
town.
The B. & o. is also getting busy at
Rowlesburg aud has bought lot OF
ground near that town 10 the effort to
head of the Cheat river road. 1t is
to be hoped that they will miss their
object.
More talk of the coming of the Wa
bash is being heard and IL is now stat
ed that the road will be built to
Uniontown and the ConnellsvUle coke
region BY January 1904. The con-
tracts are to be let at once. When
they get that close 1t will be no trou-
Bile to jump the intervening distance
to Morgantowp.
Contracts will be let shortly for the
road from West Brownsville to a con-
nection with the Wabash % miles
south OF that place. 1t is expected
that this road will be built In time to
get trade coming over the WABASH.
1t is certain that in very few years
this valley will have much better rail-
road facilities than 1t has at present
No one who Is at all interested in
our growth and development will be
sorry of this fact.
