NINE. N0RDICA.
Larga Audience Listened TO Hor
Singing Last Evening.

II was made quite evident last evening
at Infantry hall that vocal music is the
sort which Providence people enjoy most.
especially when the singer stands I'm the
position OF Nine. Nordica. for such an au-
dienSe has not been seen here at con-
cert for many years.
There were many present who we'll re-
membered the Lillian Norton OF twenty
years ago. when she made her first ap-
pearance in the old Music hall, and al
though time and labor have changed the
style and name OF the singer. the same
sweet resonance OF tone and the same
pleasant smile went right to the hearts
OF the old time friends who were pres
ent to welcome her.
Nine. Nordica's voice has lost none OF
its purity and strength by the perform
ance OF the arduous duties demanded in
heavy opera and like dramatic compost
tions. The pure clearness Of her pianissimo
passages, the bravura work and the beau
tiful crescendo climaxes were charming
10 listen to- Mime. Nordica was lavish
with encores. which were demanded with
the usual avidity.
Mr. f. Romayne Simmons officiated at
the piano and proved an excellent accom-
panist Much OF the pleasure OF the even
ing was due 10 his admirable work than
which no better=has been done here at
least. In Chopin Polonaise he evinced
his ability TO do good solo work and
would doubtless have had more apprecia-
ton shown, could he have selected COM
position trife more popular and better
known.
Nine. Nordica was the recipient OF a
beautiful bouquet, which served as an ex-
preston of the delight OF the entire au-
dience.

THIS evening at meeting Of the
Quarterly Conference of the M. p.
church, Rev. q. @. Douglass will pre-

STATE SURVEY.
Field work Finished for the
year reo2.

Report About Ready to be Presented
to the 6oyernor-What mas Been
Done During the Year Just Closed
Valuable Work Being Given the
State at Half Price.
The state geological survey Is
apops ready to make it's report to
sae Governor. This report will show
that great deal OF work has been
accomplished by the survey. Six
teen quadrangles have been survey
ed. This covers an area Of 2,69S
square miles.
A portion OF these quardangles
are in Pennsylvania and Ohio. In
West Virginia they embrace portions
OF the counties Of Marion, Taylor,
Harrison. Wetzei, Cabell, Lincoln,
Wayne, Ohio, Marshall, Brooke,
Lewis, Upshur, Barbour, Monongalia
Gilmer, Jefferse \. Hancock, Preston
Doddridge, Wood, P,easanss, and
Richie.
In addition to the work on these
which has been done in the field all
the work of the first year has been
mapped in the Office and published.
The maps are now being.prepared for
the work of this season and they
will be ready for distribution before
very long.
DIR. l. c. White has had charge of
the survey since it started two years
ago. He has been serving without
compensation thinking that the val
ne Of the work done 10 sufficiently
great to make it incumbent on him
to do it as a labor of love. Ray
Hennen is chief clerk # the survey
having taken the place left vacant
by the resignation of John NJ. Gregg
who will become circuit clerk the
first of the year.
Half OF the expenses of the sur
yey is being borne by the national
government and its experts have
charge OF much of the work being
done. They will continue this poll
CIV until the whole state is mapped.
The maps not only show the top
ography of the country, but the
contour lines as we'll for every TWEEN
ty feet of elevation. They will show
all the mineral resources in the form
of outcrops and other information
about the extent of the beds of min
erals which arctic be found in the
state.
Many OF the counties of the state
have no accurate surveys and this
work is important to them for that il
mother reason. Thirty thousand dol
lars have already been appropriated
by the state and this has been ex-
pended. All the expense of print
ing the maps is borne by the govern
ment and the plates will be preserv-
ed at Washington
Later handy volume is to be
published showing a map of each
county to get her with an accurate
description of its mineral resources.
A volume on coal is now In press
and it is expected that it will be
ready for delivery some time in
February.
When it was at first proposed to
make the survey of the state the
government made the Morgantown
sheet as sample without it costing
the state penny.

HELP GIVEN.
Post Office Department Recog-
nizes needs of Morgantown.

New Carrier and New Clerk added to
thu rost Ofiiice Force-Hemer b.
Fogle and Harry Caples are Ep-
pointed New Division Of the De
livery District to be Made.
As result of the visit OF Post
master Fitch to Washington Nor
gantown has two more added 10 the
postoffice force. One carrier and
one clerk have been allowed. They
go on duty at once. Homer b. Fogle
was appointed as the carrier aud
Harry Caples as the clerk. The lat
ter was appointed temporarily. The
former being the sub carrier was
given permanent appointment.
DR.. Fitch showed the wonderful
Increase in the population and
amount of business being done in
Morgantown and the department
after an investigation decided that
it would be right and proper to give
him more help.
The appointments authorized

are on duty. Mr.. Fogle will aid the
other carriers until after the holt
day rush is over when the town will
be cut up into new districts and he
will be given regular route.
During the rush which it is now
at its height he will help the car
rier having the largest amount Of
mail on every delivery and in this
manner will be of greatest service to
the force.
1t is impracticable just at present
to stop and divide the delivery dis
trict into new routes as the force is
too much rushed just now TO give
the matter the proper attention.
All this will be looked after Just
as soon as the Christmas rush is
over.
A great deal OF mail is being han
died both in and out of theIlocal post
Office and the force is put to IL just
IS hard as they can be to meet the de-
mand.
DR.. Fitch, the force and the public
are all very well pleased at the result
of his mission.
An examination will be held short
ly for the regular appointment as
clerk and for sub carrier.

A we'll known citizen had been in
vited to an evening party. He want
ed to go, but his wife declared that
she had no gown suitable for the oc-
casion and asked him to send ire
grets" to their hostess. The man
went down to his Office and penned
this facetious note of declination:
"We regret that your kind invita-
ton must be declined for all the con-
ventional reasons, but the reason is
that half the family has nothing to
wear. My wife's latest dress is over
three weeks old, and her hat is twelve
hours out of date You will appre.
ciate the hopelesiness Of the occasion
and excuse u.s."
He thought this pretty good and be
determined to write a note to his wife
also explaining that be would not be
at home for an early dinner, as she
had asked him. He said in this note
III have turned down your invita-.
tion because am going out to an.
other evening party where the guests
are not expected to wear anything Of
Importance. Sorry l won't be there
to kiss you good night.
And then the fool man carelessly
sent his wife's note to the hostess ant

FAIRMoNT, Zee 19.--J. M. Burr,
the fireman on the Pittsburg flyer,
which was wrecked Nov. % at Chief

the river, died from his injuries at
the Miners Hospital yesterday
morning. When the engine rolleu

Fork river Mr.. Burr was pinioned
under the debris. He was taken
out after much difficulty. His
left limb was severed above the knee
and he was otherwise badly hurt.
The loss OF blood from the sever
ing OF the limb greatly weakened his
condition and was principally the
cause of his death.
Mr.. Burr was about 81 years of
age, and his home is near Weston
He was born in Taylor county. He

Instead Of the usual method OF

the plan of sending by telephone.
A private wire belonging To the
railroad company has bessn erected the
whole length Of the load and connect

south end 81 High street. This is
connected by the Peoples Telephone

The Morgantown depot is being rap
idly filed up with many modern con-

Passenger and freight traffic are
both increasing and the management

The Peoples Telephone Company
has about completed making repairs
OF its lsnes which were damaged by
the recent snowstorm. The loss is es-
timated at more than 5000. There
is yet no connection with Fairmont,
as the Fairmont people have not vet
repaired their end of the line reaching
to Rivesville.
The line TO Blacksville is expected
to be completely repaired by tonight
or tomorrow so that messages can be
sent to the western part of the coun-
ty. The repair hands working this
way on the line, arrived at Randall

has resulted to phone holders from
the disconnection of lines, and the

COAL WORKS FOR GREENE.

American Steel 4 Wire Co. Will De-
velop Coal Land-RaIlroad sad to
be Theirs-Three Coal Triples said
to be Booked for Company's White
ly Block.
Considerable speculation is had as
to the projected road from Brownsville
the mouth of Whitley Creek, this
county. The last guess is, the road
belongs to the American Steel & Wire
Company, and is to be built with a
view of developing the large coal tract
held in and about Whitley. 1t
is stated that in few days the con-
tract for construction will be let, and
the work so arranged that the matter
of building will be comparatively
short. 1t is also stated that the COM
pany will sink shafts and erect three
tipples on their Greene county coal
property, and this development is a
matter OF the near future. The re-
cent sale of lands in that section, or
the coal In which Cashier Garard and
Attorney e, NJ Sayers are concerned
were made for the American Steel &
Wire Company, and the purchasers
sold that coal to that company
Just where the tipples are to be erect
ed our informant was not able to
state. This indicates that other CAPT.
talists, as well as the Dlworth Coal
Co., will commence the development
of Greene county's great coal deposit
The first will be on the Monongahela
river, and when the Wabash gets in
next year and other roads, among
which will be the B. & O., develop
ment will likely be commenced along
the lines Uf these arteries Of commerce
We believe that Greene county stands
al the gate of great development
which will make her one of the best
