FIFTEEN YEARS AGO
This Suit for Breach of Promise
was Filed.

1t Came from Barbour County-Has
Just Been Decided by The Supreme
Court of the United States-A StOry
of Romantic Litigation.
The supreme court of the United
States has put an end to litigation in
stituted IN Barbour county, West
Virginia, nearly fifteen years ago, and
which began with the breach of prom
Use suit of Susan G. Dent against Dew.
er Pickens. The brief filed by the at
torneys OF Pickens, although couched
Ia The pedanic and complicated yer.
biage of the law, reads like chapter
IN fiction.
In January, 1888, Susan Dent filed
her suit for breach OF marriage con-
tract. Before the case came to trial
she began another action against Pick
ems to set aside as fraudulent a deed
OF trust made by him to John j. Day.
is and A. g. Dayton, trustees, and as
sailing as fraudulent certain debts
therein secured to Ann M. Pickens
and others.
In July, 1899. she obtained judy
ment against the defendant for &c.
900 for breach OF contract, but the SUI
preme court OF appeals of West Vir-
ginia reversed 1t and ordered new
| trial
The second hearing resulted In a
! verdict in favor OF the plaintiff, the
Judgment this time being 1000.
This Was in February, 1892.
Then began tussle which lasted
until this term. After recovering the
judgment for $4,000, Miss Dent
amended her original suit ia equity,
alleging the recovery Of said Judge
ment and assailing as fraudulent a
certain marriage settlement made be-
tween Pickens and Minnie Coburn,
who is now his wife, and also further
assailing the deed of trust and praying
that the marriage settlement and the
deed Of trust be declared fraudulent
as to her judgment, and that the
property embraced therein be subject
ed to its payment.
The circuit court dismissed the bill
wherenpon Miss Dent appealed to the
supreme court Of appeals, which re-
versed the decree and remanded the
case for trial. This brought the lti-
CATION up to early IN 1900, but in the
meantime Pickens, evidently for the
purpose of escaping continuance of
IL, had himself declared a bankrupt
by the district court OF West Virginia.
Immediately afterward the circuit
court OF Barbour county annulled the
deed of trust and the marriage settle
ment with Minnie Coburn, and held
the debts in the trust secured to Ann
M. Pickens to be fraudulent. Pickens
then resorted to the use of the injunc-
ton to violate the state courts decree,
but the United States district court,
upon hearing dissolved it. He carried
the case to the United States Court OF
Appeals, which sustained the district
court, and Tuesday the highest tribu-
nal in the land affirmed the decree,
placing the costs on the appellant.

FOR THREE YEARS
This Scholarship in the Univer-
sity School of Music is Good.
Dean Wrights0n Establishes scholar
ship of Great Value-New Teacher
of Pipe 0rgan-Successfu Recital of
School of Music Pupils.

of Pipe 0rgan-Successfui Recital OF
School of Music Pupils.
Free tuition for three years. In
other words, musical education free.
This is possible to the fortunate young
lady or young gentleman who shall
win the .Wrightson Scholarship
The announcement was made at the
Pupils Recital of the University
School of Music yesterday afternoon
and very properly evoked rounds of
applause. Dean Wrightson announc-
ed the founding OF the scholarship by
himself, good for three years, and to
be awarded to the pupil making the
most satisfactory progress during the
remainder of the year. The decision
will be left TO committee Of which
Mr. Wrightson himself will not be
member. 1t will be open to students
in voice, piano, or violin, and will
take effect next fall. The winner OF
it will receive free instruction for
three years. 1t will be known as the
Wilbur Wrightson Scholarship in
honor of Dean Wrightson's little son j.
This generous act on the part OF
the Dean ought to inspire other
friends of the University Music School
to found similar scholarships.
Mr. Wrightson also announced that
because of continued illness Mrs, Snee
will not be able to teach next quar-
ter and that distinguished teacher
of the pipe organ will take her place
during her illness. The new instruc-
tor will be here at the beginning OF
the winter term.
Miss Foster, an additional teacher
in piano and harmony, and Miss
Thomas, an additional teacher in
piano, will begin their work next
term also.
The demand for these new teachers
shows the remarkable growth OF the
School of music. A large number of
new students will certainly be in at
the beginning Of the winter term.
THE PROGRAMME.
owing to the examinations in other
departments of the University, some
of the students could not be present,
and two others were too i'll to take
their parts on the programme never
theless the recital was delightful and
was thoroughly enjoyed by all present.
The audience was composed OF the
members OF the School Of Music and
a number of united friends.

THE ALUMNI RECORD.
Some More Addresses Wanted -InfOr
nation not Coming In Very Prompt.

Up to the present time 225 gradu-
ates of the University have answere d
the letters OF the Secretary OF the
Alumni Association, in which he ask
ed them for brief sketches of their
lives for publication In the Alumni
Record. This publication was under
taken by direction of the Alumni
Association, and the Secretary is max
ing every possible effort to secure the
material with which to make a valu-
able permanent record OF the work OF
the graduates Of the University from
the beginning to the present time.
The task has turned out to be very
laborious one, and it is earnestly hop
ed that all graduates of the Universe
ty will promptly answer the circular
lie ter, SO that the Record may be
complete. 1t is to be hoped that the
book may go to press some time In
the spring, but this will depend en-
tirely upon the promptness with
which the alumni furnish the neces-
sary information.
A number Of letters have come
back unclaimed, the addresses being
wrong. Among them are the follow
ing names: Geo. P. Lynch, Daniel L.
Wetzel w A. Rogers, e. j. Marsh,
j. N. Marsh, Ashbel f. Downs, j. f.
Carney, Laman G. Staggars, VIM,
Austin Davis, d. +. Rice, j. f. Cor
der, Henry A. Stead, and Addison f.
| Morris.
The Secretary, Waitman Barbe,
will be very thankful for information
as to the present addresses OF any o.
these. II the readers Of this article
know where any OF these persons are
located they are earnestly requested
to inform the Secretary.
This is the first alumni record OF
the University ever published and /
will probably be flfteen or twenty
years at least before another is IN Ter
! taken.

TWO CENTS
EMBARGO RAISED.
Morgantown again in Freight
Communication With World

Shifting Engine and Crew Arrived
Yesterday-2OO Cars of Freight %
Sidings From Uniont0wn to Fair
mont-100 Of These For Morgan
town.
The embargo which has bee
placed on Morgantown for the pas
two weeks is now lifted and freight
Is again arriving here by the car
load. A shifting engine and crew
came up from Connellsville yesteI
day, and will remain here for som
time to assist in clearing the side
tracks of freight.
The congestion in the freigh.
business here has been somethinS.:
astonishing. Two hundred carloads
of freight were on the sidetracks be-
tween Uniontown and Fairmonl,
Morgantown was the destination OF
one half of this number.
The business of this place has
grown beyond the present railroad
facilities to take care of it. Nor
gantown receives more freight thau
any other town of anything like tho
same population. So many cars
accumulated on the tracks that mo-
more could be gotten in, so the em
barge was declared to prevent the
shipment of pershable goods, and
losing 1t in transit.
A new road has been made IL
South Morgantown along by Bailey's
warehouse and Tenants mill 81
that many more teams can now geL
to the cars to unload freight at tn.
same time.
1t is hoped that from this time OH
the freight congestion will be some
what relieved.
Mr.. Jefferson Tenant has several
carloads of -four, wheat, cats, corr
hay and straw on the sidings some
where waiting to be hauled up here.
They have been on the road from
ten to thirty days. In the mean
time, he has to get along the best he
can keeping his customers out of
want with the stock of feed on hand.
Mr.. A. c. Fulmer has experienced
similar delay in getting his coal
shipped. He billed thirty carloads
from here recently, and on going
down the road a few days later
found them scattered along between
here and Connellsville on the side
tracks.
The passenger business here is
also outgrowing the facilities for &C
commodating it, although the
agents do everything in their power.
Sales of tickets amount to about
$4,000 per month nearly as much as
the sales at Uniontown, Fairmont
and Connelsville where the opportu-
mites for selling tickets are much
better In proportion to the popula-
ton. Many people travelling from,
here buy ticket to Fairmont or
Connellsville, and there buy anoth-
err for the remainder of the trip.
That gives these towns the advan-
tage of Morgantown in the sale of
tickets.
Something will have to be done
here to improve transportation ia
cilities, or the trouble we have been
experiencing will grow worse. The
B. q o. Company has been consider
ing making all sorts of improve
ments ana will most certainly be
gin on the work early next year.
just what will be done is not known
here, but the local agents feel sure
that great improvements will be
made here in the next year.

IL. *. d0Sen't mean much. AS is stat
ed above it is apparently at the mercy
OF two powerful corporations. The
B. s. o. has no love for Senator Elkins
for 1t is he who is responsible for the
coming OF the Wabash into West Vir-
gina. The Wabash people are not
meeting him with smiles because he
continues to build railroads the desti-
nation OF which neither corporation
can foresee. A weak man placed in
this position would be frozen out,
squeezed to death, but with Senator
Elkins it is different. In him these
corporations recognize great flnan-
cier of unlimited courage and ability
and who, If necessary to protect his
interests, could raise the funds to
build both east and west and who is
In position to protect himself In both
state and nation. Rest assured that
the M. & K. r. r. will be In posi-
tion in the very near future to carry
freight to the markets. | ind here as
elsewhere throughout the state ship
pers without means Of transportation
so far as the B. 81 O. is concerned.
Great industries throughout the state
stand idle and the ways and means to
carry the products of West Virginia
to the markets have not been provid-
ed by those who have been empower
ed to do these things aud whose duty
it Is 10 Go them. The development of
the state is retarded. What West
Virginia needs Is not more cars and
engines alone for the roads now 10 OPP
Grafton but more railroads. He who
obstructs such enterprises is an enemy
to the state.
NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS.
The hotel accommodations are en-
tirely inadequate to accommodate the
travelling public. A great dig up-to-
date hotel like the Waldo, Of Clarks.
burg, or the Camden, Of Parkersburg,
is needed. In my judgment no bet
ter opening for an investment Of this
kind could be found. An apartment
house of large proportions is also
needed and would prove to be pay
ing investment.
The forefathers willed that so fan
as Morgantown was concerned whis =
key license should not be granted and
up to this time their decree has been
respected. Last Sunday meeting
OF the citizens was held for the pur-
pose Of strengthening the anti-license
cause. was impressed with the
personnel of that meeting. Carrie
Nation and her Ratchet were not
there, but citizens Of force and char
acter were.
Morgantown has had a steady
growth on account of the many peo-
pie who from year to year locate here
for the purpose OF sending their chill
dren to the University. find many
good families have located here be-
cause of the fact that license is not
granted. The parent feels more Sc
cure to educate his son in town
where the open saloon with its guided
private rooms and sweet music dues
not exist.
Yes, the speakeasy is here but it is
at minimum. | have not seen
an intoxicated man here. | have not
met crank on the whiskey question;
but the majority OF the citizens feel
that as the West Virginia University
is located here, they owe il to the IA
theirs and mothers throughout our

ton from their sons as far as possible.
