dren. 1t would certainly be rel lief
TO the people and To the medical pro-
fession to be able to definitely deter
mine the nature of outbreaks as well
as their cause.
In such q laboratory analyses Of

Typhoid fever once the scourge and
dread of certain communities has
practically disappeared from those
places when the sewerage, water sup
ply and paving has had proper atten-
tion. The news Of Serious outbreak
of one OF the dread maladies strikes
alarm to the community like the cry
Of fire In the dead of the night. Ii
these diseases cannot he wiped out
OF communities entirely they can be SO
modified and confined as to rob them
Of much of their terror. AS It Is the
pendulum of public anxiety swings
from needless alarm 60 fatal indiffer-
enee and the epidemics occur and re-
cur. with sadness and sorrow In death
strieken homes. Ii has been said by a
great physician that every epidemic Is
a municipal crime.
Ia the present state of medical
knowledge the best methods to observe
for the prevention OF the spread Of the
disease ale complete isolation OF pa
tients and attendants with serupulous
attention TO the proper disinfection OF
all articles exposed to the patient.
Clothing should be Immediately Inn
mersed In boiling water TO which must
be added any one OF the following
substances:
TO one gallon OF water ounces OF
chloride Of lime, or one ounce OF sui
phate OF zinc, or six ounces OF car
bolie acid or go grams OF bichloride of
mercury with 60 grains of chloride of
ammonia, This latter solution is the
one recommended by the New York
board or health for washing the wood
work OF rooms, while the carbolie

TO MAKE EXTENSION
Railroad to Build Track ON East Side
of River.

FAIRMoNT, w. Va, Feb. 20.-An
extension that has been In the minds
OF the officials Of the Baltimore &
Ohio for several years, has begun to
take more definite form, and when
carried out will be a means of much
quicker coal shipments on this part of
the system.
BY the present arrangements all
traffic from the Fairmont, Morgan
town & Pittsburg branch has TO be
brought across bridge into the now
overcrowded yards of this place. The
main line also crosses the river be-
fore entering the yards from the east,
The proposed improvement is tc build
track on the eastern side Of the river
and to connect the Fairmont, Nor
gantown & Pittsburg branch with the
main line east and send coal that way
without entering the local yards.
A survey Of the line has been made
and the route takes it through Water
street in the First ward. 1t has caus-
ed big boom in the price of real es-
tate over there, and besides it will
open large tract of land adapted for
industries.

Gov. White on Wednesday refused
to interfere in the case of George
Carter, colored, who is under sentence
OF death for the murder of another
negro named Verg Whistler a little
over year ago. Carter was tried and
convicted in January 1901, and SEN
fenced TO be hanged the following
March, but obtained suspension of
sentence. Since that time the case
has been through all the courts to the
supreme court, which sustained the
lower court, and also before the par
don board, in the hope of saving the
negro's life. BY the governors refusal
TO interfere, the last chance is gone,
and Carter will pay the penalty OF his
crime on Friday March q, which is
the day fixed by Judge Hall, of the
criminal court of Kanawha county.

STEAMER FROZEN IN
MIDDLE OF RIVER
Packet Rose Hite Has Peculiar Ex-
perience-Bi Ice Gorge at
MOundSyiIle.

The steamer Rose Hite, owned by
the Pittsburg and Morgantown Pack
Ell Co., is frozen in the Monongahela
river near Glassport. The steamer
was on her way to Pittshurg yesterday,
when the boat met closed river and
was unable to proceed further. Word
was sent to Plttsburg and Captain
John Britton, superintendent of the
line, went to the scene and has taken
personal charge Of the boat.
The Hite left Pittsburg last Tues
day and after fighting the ice managed
to get as far as Rices Landing. 1t is
reported that on her way down stream
sand this stock is now on the boat,
also her crew. No danger to the boat
is expected on account Of her being
frozen in the ice, but the circumstance
is an unheard-of one on the Monon-
gahela. The conditions under which
steamboat-men have been boating on
this stream during the past two
mouths, however, are almost unpre-
cedented. The Hite left Rices Land
ing last Friday, so that her progress
down stream has been very slow.
A dangerous gorge has formed at
Moundsville on the Ohio river and it
is said to be IL miles in length. The
gorge is said to be a dangerous one
and is frozen to the bottom OF the river,
the ice being piled high in some places.
Rivermen down the Ohio are much
exercised about it.

WILL AGAIN CONTRACT.
Morgantown Planning Mill is Doing a
TrnuandauS Rusiuass

MOrgant0Wn Flaming Mill is Doing q
Tremendous Business.
We have located In our midst one
of the best Planning Mill Plants in
West Virginia.
This has gradually grown from a
comparatively small concern to a
complete Factory employing from
10 to 80 men owing to the season of
the year, they have recently put in
several new and up-to date machines
and are now well equipped for doing
the most intricate work. Their EN-
ployes are all thorough mechanics
selected from all parts OF the coun-
try. They did last year over eighty
thousand dollars worth of business
and want to double that this year If
possible, and judging by their i'm
mense stock of lumber, Sash, doors,
shingles, lath, lime, cement, glass,
oils, paints etc. we have no doubt
they will do it,
Their lathe for doing iron work
has been kept busy since it was in
stalled last spring. This is probably
because everybody knows that Mr..
James nj. Hogue is skilled ma
chanic and any work intrusted to
him will be carefully done and at
living prices, every department has
been re-arrangad so that orders can
now be gotten out on shortest notice
possible.
They have decided to again enter
into the contracting business and
have secured the services of COM
petent Foreman, who can be found
at their office for the purpose of
making estimates DC. We believe
it will be to the advantage of any
person contemplating building to
see them at the office of the Nor
gantown Planning Mill Co. Beech
nrst Avenue.

Nothing could be done to combat the
flames which reduced the house to
ashes-Family Of Taylor Scott suffer
from cold Clothing destroyed.
Wednesday evening about eight
o'clock a frame house on the West
Side caught fire and burned down.
The house was out OF reach Of any fire
protection and nothing could be done
to save it. 1t was total loss not
having been covered with insurance.
1t was owned by Hervey Snider and
occupied by Taylor Scott and family.
Two of the children had gone up
stairs to bed when they discovered
the fire. Tt had set their bed on fire.
They gave the alarm and their father
rushed up with two buckets of water
but this was unavailing.
Attention was then turned to get
ting the household goods out and this
was accomplished. Most of the
clothing belonging TO the family was
destroyed.
When help reached the place it was
too late. The children sat around on
blankets in the warmth of the burn
ing house but scantily clad and sever
al of them were almost naked. Some
of them walked barefooted in the
snow.
Neighhors cared for them tempo
rarily but they need assistance as they
are quite poor.
The fire was seen from town at an
early stage and hundreds of people
watched it until it had burned the
house entirely down. No alarm was
given as nothing could be done from
this side of the river.
Two fires in one day and another
fire narrowly averted is rather too
speedy record to make people feel
good. The origin of the blaze is not
known. 1t is thought that it caught
from lantern which was upstairs or
from defective fue.

Should Have Condemned Blockade.
1t should have specifically condemn
ed the failure to enforce an efficient
night blockade at Santiago while Ad-
miral Schley was in command Gu
the other hand, feel that there is a
reasonable doubt whether he did not
move his squadron with sufficient ex.
petition from port to port. The court
is a unit in condemning Admiral
Schley's action on the point where
it seems to me he most grayely
erred; his 'retrograde movement
when he abandoned the blockade, and
his disobedience of orders and mis-.
statement of facts in relation there.
to. 1t should be remembered, how
ever, that the majority of these ac.
tons which the court censures oc.
CURED five weeks or more before the
fight itself; and it certainly seems
that if Schley's actions were censur-
able he should not have been left as
second in command under Admiral
Sampson. ~N~- s~s -4ses =
AS to Which Was In Command.
The point raised in the appeal is
between Admiral Sampson and Ad-
miral Schley, as to which was in com
mand and as to which was entitled
to the credit, il either of them was
really entitled to any unusual and pre-
eminent credit by any special exhibit
ton of genius, skill and courage. The
court could have considered both Of
these questions, but as a matter of
fact IL unanimously excluded evidence
offered upon them. and through it's
president announced its refusal to
hear Admiral SIMPSONS side at all:
and in view of such exclusion the ma
jority OF the court acted with entire
propriety in not expressing any opin-
ion on these points. The matter has,
however. been raised by the president
Of the court.
Appeal From MckinIey's Decision.
Five-sixths of the appeal is devoted
to this question of command and
credit; that is, to matter which the
court of inquiry did not consider. 1t
Is In effect an appeal from the action
of President Mckinley three years
ago, when he sent in the recommen-
dations for promotion for the various
officers connected with the Santiago
squadron, basing these recommends
tions upon his estimate of the credit
to which the officers were respective
ly entitled. What / have to decide,
therefore, is whether or not President
Mckinley did injustice in the mat
ter. This necessarily involves com
parison Of the actions of the different
commanders engaged. The exhaust
i've official reports of the action leave
little to be brought out anew, but as
the question Of Admiral Simpsons
right to be considered in chief com
mand, which was determined in his
favor by President Mckinley and
later by the court OF claims, has never
hitherto been officially raised.
