MACKEY MILL BURNED.
Landmark Destroyed by Fire
Wednesday Morning.

Origin Of Blaze not Known-No Effort
made to Exfinguish it-Loss Qnite
Heavy-Partially Insured-Seneca
Glass Factory Narrowly Escapes
Damage.
The Mackey Mill burned to the
ground early Wednesday morning.
The origin of the fire is not known.
1t was discovered by Officer Shoe
maker shortly after five o'clock.
The members of the fire company
were given still alarm and respond
ed quickly. An attempt was made
to blow tae Seneca fire whistle but
the slide had frozen and it would
not work.
AS soon as the fireman reached
the ground they say that there was
no use trying to save the plant as
the fire was under too great head
way and there were no water plugs
close enough to reach the blaze.
Hose might have been carried
from the plug at Fitch's corner but
there was little use trying to do
anything The fire was one OF the
brightest and prettiest ever seen in
town.
The old mill was being run by S.
n. Pollock as flour and feed mill
1t was owned by Hirschman and
Grant The insurance was ST, 800
and the loss is cons .deraoly in ex
cess of this. Some time ago a deal
was closed between the present own
ers and the new electric Light and
Power Company for the plant for
$4,000. This was without the ma
chlnery.
For many years the Maekey Mill
has been landmark about Morgan
town and while it was to give way
shortly to more modern plant the
older residents heard of its destruc
ton with feeling akin to regret.
The Seneca Glass factory came
near being destroyed by fire at one
o'clock the same night Night
Waterman Charles Allehaugh dis
covered the fire in the sand blast
room. The roof had caught from a
gas Jet which had been left burning
too high. A few buckets of water
put the fire out A few minutes
later there would have been big
blaze.

TWO CENTS
FAVOR THE TEACHERS.
Attorney Generals Opinion rel
alive to Terms.

Five Months Pay must be Paid to
Teachers even though the Session
does not last that long--Lack Of
Funds IL no Excuse for stopping
Schools.
An opinion has been handed down
by Assistant Attorney General Dulin.
In reply TO a request from State SUI
perlntendent Of Schools Miller that Is
applicable, not only TO the special
case out of which the question arose.
but To many such eases throughout
the state.
The law provides that the district
schools shall have at least five months
school during the year, but IL appears
that number OF schools have been
having only three or four moeths. A
case has arisen ia Smithtield district
OF Roane county,in which the teacners
who had five months contract,
sought TO compel the board to pay
them for the fifth month OF the term,
while It is the contention OF the board
that there Is not sufficient money
available for that purpose. The de-
cision of the assistant attorney general
Is as.follows:
In reply to the question team the
trustees and teacher compel the board
TO issue orders for the fifth month OF
the school on the dive months con-
tract?n | respectfully submit the
following;
In compliance with your request
we will also eonstrue section 40 OF
chapter Is Of the code as amended by
chapter 70 Acts Of 1891, in so far as
IL relates to yourinquiry.
The board Of education being au-
thorized under section of said chap
ter 45, 1t Is the duty or the board, un-
der section 10 TO lay sufficient levy
TO keep the schools In the district
running five months in the year But,
should the levy of soc authorized by
section 40 and the levy provided for
In section 80, Of said chapter mot be
sufficient to pay any existing indebt-
edness of the district in addition TO
the other purposes for which ib il lev
led, The board may increase such levy
TO the amount actually necessary, or
lay special levy for the purpose, but
such increase or special levy, together
with any other levy not provided for
In said sections 80 and 40, shall not
exceed In the aggregate 80 cents on
the 800 valuation Of property in the
district
Boards OF Education refusing to
comply with this law can be required
TO do so by mandamus. So it there
fore follows chat teachers having con-
tracts to teach five months can com
pei the boards 10 issue proper orde rs
to them when they have performed
the service.

ALL is NOW SERENE.
Morris Glass Company's trou-
bles are adjusted.
Fly. Harvey, Steinman and others have
been bought out by the Menongalia
stockholders Deal effected inUnion-
town-Legal Proceedings now stop
ed.

The troubles In the Morris Glass
Company have all been settled. This
has been done by the purchase OF the
stock by the faction living in this
county. Harvey, Steinman, Ely and
others have retired from all interest
in the company.
All legal proceedings will now be
dropped. The settlement was affect
ed at Uniontown. One third the face
value of the stock was paid to the
Pennsyivanians for their stock and
they are now out of the company.
Rev. Campbell Jobes who owned I0C
shares at a face value of $50 refused
TO take anything for his holdings and
gave up the stock to the other stock.
holders. He did this because through
him they had been deceived as to the
value of the patents held by Harvey.
He, himself, had been deceived but
he did not wish anyone else TO lose by
his actions and in consequence he did
everything to repair the damage
which he had done even unwittingly
His action is greatly appreciated by
the rest OF the company and adds TO
the high esteem in which he has al.
ways been held by those who know
him.
The company will be reorganzed
and will proceed with business.
They will make glass at an early date
but they won't make glass bath tubs.
1t is thought by the company that
they could have bought the other fell
lows out at lower price If they hao
not received an intimation that 33l
per cent could be secured for their
holdings.
The settlement OF the case will pre-
vent an endless amount of law suits
and is happy solution for the trou-
bles lie which the company has been
involved. The men back Of it have
plenty of money and determination.
They will make it go.

GAS AND WATER RATES.

cording to this Gentleman.

To the Editor of the NEW Dominion:
You report that the council com
mittee on Monday night, reported ia
vorably on the water rates and uufa-
vorably on the rates for gas.
This Is an immense surprise TO the
citizens OF Morgantown. The rates
for gas are not higher than some 9th.
er places, but challenge the council
to find town or city from Maine TO
the Gulf OF Mexico that paws as much
for water as the town Of Morgantown
The rates are keeping people out OF
Morgantown and making those who
are 10 so poor they can't get out. They
are not lowered but simply divided up
among the different spigots to make
the water tax add $24 year TO the
rental OF house.
How long will Morgantown stand
that kind Of gouge? How long
could any town stand it? New York
city couldn't and wouldn't stand 1t.
And the council that fastens such a
tax on the town for 25 years WILDE
dead before 1t is collected.

Ghost OF Murdered Girl Takes Sleigh
ride with Farmer at Midnight.

WASHINGTON, Pa, Feb. 10 The
residents of Richhill township, this
county, and Aleppo township. Greene
county, have been thrown into state
of great excitment as a result Of the
alleged temperance of ghost in the
community.
The story is that more than a half
century ago Mary Crum, young girl of
the neighborhood, was murdered by a
jealous lover in lonely hollow, which
has ever since been known as Lonesome
Hollow 1t was not known how the
murder was done, but marks on the
girls face indicated that her skull had
been crushed by her lovers boot heel.
Soon after the com mission of the muir
der the girls spirit appeared near the
spot where she met death. The APP
partition appeared at intervals for more
than 40 years. The last seen of the
ghost was ten years ago, and residents
came to believe that they were TO be
troubled by its appearance no longer.
Within a few days, however, it is
claimed that the spirit is again abroad
and many have testified to having seen
it.
A prominent farmer claims that as
he was returning home at midnight
the apparition perched on the runner
of his sleigh and lode for consider
able distance. He attempted to strike
it, but his fist encountered nothing
but empty air. AS he neared the lone
ly hollow the ghost disappeared into
the woods, exclaiming as it went "He
crushed me with his boot heel"

Js j.. wharton tets a C0ntract-Ge0rge
Darrah also Lands One-Dr. Court.
neY to Build Tenement University
Buildings Going along notes.
J. J. Wharton has been awarded
the contract for building TWO houses
at lock ten for the government. He
was the lowest out of six bidders
The bids were forwarded to Pittsburg
and Captain Sibert awarded the con-
tract to Mr.. Wharton. The houses
are to be used by the u. S. employees
who will look after the lock. Work
on them will begin shortly and they
are to be completed early 10 the
summer.
Glass is being placed in the new
Library building and the work on the
interior can then be pushed regardless
OF the weather. The carving on the
exterior has been prosecuted under the
most adverse circumstances but is far
advanced towards completion. The
Mechanical Hall will be ready for use
on April first when the Spring term
opens. The Armory is also pegging
along towards completion
Work started this morning on a
tenement house for DR. d. Fl. Court
Dey. 1t is to face on Chestnut street.
There are to be three houses in one.
Each Of the places is to have six
rooms in it. The cost is to be about
$4,000. DR. Courtney expects to have
1T ready for occupancy by June first.
The contract for w. S. Taylor's
residence in South Park was let this
morning to George Darrah for ST.
500. DR.. Sivey's residence is still
under advisement and will be let
some time soon. These gentleman are
coming here from Tunnelton.
As spring approaches more and
more building permits are granted at
each sitting of council and the appli-
cations are pouring 10 every day.
There never were as many buildings
projected in Morgantown as there are
now.
Fifty buildings are to be erected up
Deckers creek near the new glass fac
tory by one concern. Other people
will also be erecting houses in that
section for the use of the new people
who are coming in with the plant.
Elmer h. Jacobs the local architect
says that he has turned out fifteen
complete sets of plans since the first
of the year for residences running
from $1,000 to $4,000 and which are
to be built in the early spring.
The Carlow block is nearing com-
pletion, the Price building is not go
ing very fast on account of the wealth.
eDand the Acme block is being held
back by this cause. With good
weather Morgantown will begin to
hump herself as even this town has
never hustled before. There will be
more building to be done than the
carpenters and allied trades can at
tend TO.

state Penitentiary Inspected.

The West Virginia State Penitenti-
airy was inspected last week by the
Federal authorities. w. A. Ladow,
assisted by c. c. Game, were the in
speeters. They gave personal inter
view to each of the 376 Federal pris-
ouers. 322 OF which are from the Dis
trict OF Columbia and the remaining
"a from The Federal courts OF Virgin
ia and West Virginia. They will
probably take a numberiof those skill
ed IN mechanics to Atlanta, Georgia,
to work IN the new Federal prison
now in course Of construction there.
The change will likely be permanent
and viii make quite reduction in
the population Of the State penitenti-
airy which is now considerably crowd
ed.

SHIFTING OF THE GLASS TRADE.
Significant Move on the Part of the
National GIass company.

Glass manufacturers were hardly
susprlsed when theyslearned recently
that the National Glass Co. will dis
mantle two more Of its factories in the
Indiana gas belt and concentrate them
at Cambridge. 1t is significant of what
is expected to occur everywhere In In
diana fields. Slowly the trade is shift
ing to the Ohio valley where there is
apparently an inexhaustible supply OF
cheap gas. With gas in the interior
of West Virginia going to waste for
lack of takers glass people can hard
ly be blamed for making 40 scramble
