The recent visit of the Editorial
Association to Moundsville and the
penitentiary was very interesting.
The trolley ride to Moundsville and
return from Wheeling was on spec
ial cars furnished by the Board of
Trade. The inspection Of the Peni-
Tertiary was very interesting indeed
and we are preparing to publish
special article on the subject soon.
The institution is in better condi.
ton than ever before, and Is now
entirely self sustaining. We saw
Grant Shaffer at work, and he is
very heshy. Talked to J. Wesley
Beatty and found him looking well
and taking things easy. The citi-
zens of Moundsville received the
visitors as they passed out of the
prison gates after the inspection
and thirty-fve carriages were in
waiting TO convey them about the
city. So generous and courteous
an invitation could not but be &C.
cepted, and very pleasant trip it
was about the beautiful Mound City.

A TRACKMAN KILLED
BY q Wreck on the West Virginia
Northern X. X.

Yesterday evening just after six
O'Clock our little railroad had their
first fatal accident since the road
was built. Two engines came to-
gether at the sharp curve in the cut
this side of Lang's trestle. A coal
engine was coming this way and
another engine was going into Tun-
melton. taking in the trackmen from
work. One crew was running with
out orders, as the telephone l:ne
failed to work. When the engines
came together the engineers re-
.yersed their engines and jumped, as
did all the other trainmen. and es.
capped serious injury, but one poor
fellow named Joseph Loar, a track
man, failed to jump and was caught
In the wreck and almost instantly
killed, one leg being cut off and
other serious cuts and bruises. One
engine ran back to Housewife and
stopped in front of Cookies store
One engine was badly damaged, but
the road was not blockaded. Tie
unfortunate man killed was between
thirty and thirty-fve years of age.
and leaves a wife and four children.
He lived in function, where the
body was taken.
There was another wreck this
morning which will blockade the
road most of the day. A big steel
coal car Is across the track At
townsville.

Arrangements are being made for
a new bank in Kingwood, which
will be opened as soon as a safe
and some necessary furniture can
be secured. 1t will be known as
the Kingwood National Bank, and
will be started by men interested in
the development Of the county.
There are but FIVE stockholders SO
Tar, as it requires FIVE incorporators
to get charter, but later on other
stockholders will be taken in. The
only trouble so far is to secure a
good place for the Bank, as there is
no suitable building to be had.

Morrison of Eldorado, Kansas, has

again, and she was sentenced to IS
years in prison. and deserves it, for
the cold blooded murder of Mrs.
Olin Castle, whose throat she cut
with razor, because the latter had
married Miss Morrison's old sweet
heart. She has been tried several

King Edward VII. of England, that
we give our readers a special page
on the subject this week, giving all
the details, as it will take place next
month. The coronation was set
for June z6th, but the critical in
ness OF the King caused it to be
postponed. An operation was per.
formed and it was given out that
the coronation was postponed till
September or October, bu, the

Hil over Virginia when tho Legislature
passed the laws that put the uuietns upon
racc-track gambling. Very few had any
regrets that pool-sellinE had been
abolished. but many were i,eavy-hearted
with the realization of the certainty that
in the consequent closing Of The tracks
and the practical extinction of the race
horse the pride and profit of Virginia
would suffer a decided fall. It is now
seen that the Legislature of that day
conveyed a isessins in disguise. The
forse1nen of Virginia were obliged TO turn
their attention from the race-horse to
the road-horse and the hunter. and IN
the few years that have passed they have
worked wonders in these classes. the very
classes that furnish the ra1son d'etre for.
horse shows everywhere. Virginia horse
men can well afford to bracket the race
horse tho animal Of transient Slorles and
delnsive profits, with the extinct equus
frateri,ps. and put their energies into
such sterling stock as we have seen at
our Horse Show.

OUR rUBLlC SCHOOLS.

on the schools Of I.ynchburs. The letter
Is in line witt, the other communications
Of AR. Copeland on the industrial and
intellectual life Of Virginia. and we COM
mend it earnestly to those who have the
welfare of Virginia at heart 1t is I'M
doubtedly true that the standard OF

Gently that we heard gentleman, who

Amen!
The suggestion in Mr.. copeland's letter
that some system for choosing teachers
similar to that advocated by Messrs.
CaslSie and Glass. OF Lynchburg, be
adopted, Is full OF merit School trustees
are part OF the machinery of the State
for protecting the finances Of the schools,
caring for the property and hnving
general supervision over the physical wei

expect the trustees 20 have, as business
men, that keen appreciation of the value
of teachers which is necessary to give
the children the best instruction posi-
