Pensioning School Teachers.

Maryland goes a step ahead OF
any other state that we have yet
heard of to pension school teachers.
A school teacher who has conscien-
tiously discharged every duty to
ward the pupil and the taxpayer,
with view to the Improvement of
the child and has not looked too
much to self is a person to whom
the public is in debted and we hope
to see this bill become law, not on
ly in Maryland, but in West Virgin
la. The bill authorizes a pension of
5000 a year out of the state treasury
to teachers who have taught % years
in the public schools, having good
record and who have reached the
age of go years, and are no longer
able thro' physical infirmity to sup
port themselves.

possession Of the city grave digging

were heard in the Circuit court.
Judge Hervey reserved his decision.
Heiser's attorney did not learn of
the action of city council, when the
Office was declared vacant Deans
attorneys claim TO have knocked the
props from under the mandamus
proceedings, by their contention
that Dean should not be compelled
to turn the keys over to man who
does not hold the office of sexton.
The quarrel over the Office has
continued for Il year, and has in
volved the municipal police and leg

preme court and now the District
judiciary. The job is worth $500 a
year and free house rent. Heiser's
election invested him with police
powers and he could have taken fore

disregarded Deans defiance. The

WABASH SURVEYS
Running Route Down East Side OF
River to Morgantown.

FAIRMoNT, Fob. 2S.---Not II. & O.
but Wabash surveyors have been run
ming a route on the east side of the
river down from the West Virginia
Central road, which endsat Belington.
From that city the men made route
on the west side of the Tygart's Val
ley river to point just above this
place, when they crossed the Valley
river and the main line of the b. s.
%. aud continued down the east side
of the Monongahela.
A well known coal man OF this place
speaking of the survey said that If
the Wabash should build on the route
laid out it would traverse one of the
richest coal fields in West Virginia
The price of coal land on the Valley
river has materially increased during
the past few weeks.
There Is much interest being man
ifested in the new gas company that
has been recently organized among
the progressive business men OF the
city The people generally realize
that the extremely heavy rate charged
for fuel by the present company is do
ing much to harm Fairmont as an in
dustrial center, and everyone is ready
to use his influence and money to get
cheaper gas into the corporation. AT
a recent meeting of the company II
was decided to fix the capital stock at
5000. 600. At the same meeting near
~ half of this was subscribed for and
it will be no trouble TO raise the
other.
