Disturbance at Motley Hall.

The Washington post of Tuesday
says: The local police yesterday learned
of a very lively time on Sunday night, at
the Motley Hall excursion resort, in Mary
land. There was a large crowd of negroes
present, and the affair resolved itself into
a free-for-all fight, in the course of which
one man was shot and had to be taken
to the Alexandria Hospital for treatment,
a woman was slightly cut in the throat
and three men were carved to an extent
which required treatment at the Emergen-
cy Hospital. These were Robert Travers
and Edward Ellis, of 1888 Madison street
northwest. and James Lewis, of 211 H.
street southwest. Travers was cut in the
head in three places, and had a severe
confusion of the hip.
The trouble is said to nave begun with
the shooting affair. There was some
trouble over a woman, and Charles
Dangerfeld, a special policeman in this
city, who happened to be there in the
capacity of an excursionist, forgot ne
was outside of the boundary of his juris-
diction, and essayed the privilege of an
officer in using his gun. Dangerfield was
arrested by Special Deputy Sheriff J.
K. Seben, colored, who turned him over
to an assistant for the moment. When
Seben returned, his prisoner was making
for the District Line as fast as he could
drive in a buggy. At Congress Heights
he boarded a car, and distanced his pur-
suer.
A few moments later the row started
in which the men named were cut. This
was over a dispute as to the best section
of the city to vive in.

lap that Western Maryland was never
able to overcome it. though Englar, Hur-

so. st. Clair, Ruhl and Hodges, for St.

for the way in which they maintained the
lead against such a fierce pursuit"

PUBLIC MEETING.
Citizens and officials Gather
Last Night.

They Heard the Report of FIR. Taylor
Of Wheeling He Says that Schools
Nay Be Opened IL Vaccination Be
Praeticed Pest House Discussed but
No Action Taken.
A meeting OF the Health Board
and the city ounci was held last
plight in Municipal hall. Many of
the physicians of town attended to-
gether with number OF representa-
tive citizens. The meeting was
called to order aud DIR. L C. White
was called to the chair
DIR ID III. Taylor of Wheeling was
present and told what he had found.
he stated that he visited all OF the
suspected cases in town and that he
found them to be small pnx although
in very light form.
How soon these might result in
dangerous cases developing was as
he stated matter which the future
only could determine. The discus
sion showed that disease OF some
sort had been prevalent here since
the first of November None of the
cases had been severe and in nearly
all of them the patients recovered in
few days.
Many people believe that it is not
small pox on account of the light
attacku but DR.. Taylor stated that
it was undoubtedly small pox.
He commended the health au
thorities for what they had done and
stated that wholesale vaccination
should be practiced.
The closing of these schools was
all right as he thought, but they
might be opened without danger if
the children were all compelled to
be vaccinated before they were adj
mitted to the schools. Vaccination
and isolation are the things to be
practiced.
The matter OF pest house was
discussed and this was laid over
until the meeting OF city council on
Monday night when the city fathers
will take action if it is then deemed
necessary.
The health board will meet this
afternoon at four thirty. They will
probably recommend to the school
board that the schools re open and
that the children be yaccinated.
No meeting of the school board
has been called but this will receive
attention soon. They will meet
whenever it is necessary.
No new cases of the disease have
appeared for several days and it is
| likely that no more will come.
People are beginning to feel very
much better over the situation and
in short time all will have recover
ed from their alarm.

HANDSOME THING.
Done by the Legislature for the
University.

Appropriation Exceeds any Former
Amount by More than $50, 900
Work Of Senator's and Delegates
from this Section is Very Gratifying
DIR. Purint0n Talks.
DR.. d. b. Purinton who has been
In Charleston for some time in the in
terests OF the University has returned
home. He came on Saturday after
noon. When be was seen by NEW
DOMINION man he had the following
to say about the results of the visit to
Charleston which be had taken:
university appropriations recently
granted by the Legislature for the
current biennial period, aggregate
1898, $50. This amount is larger by
$62, 056 than any University appropri-
alton given by previous Legislature.
1t includes provision for a central
heating plant, summer school, The
enlargement OF the College OF Agri-
culture and the cadet corps, aud the
raising Of professors salaries from
$1,000 to $500. 1t does not provide
for a woman's hall or a presidents
house.
This treatment accorded the Uni
versity will be seen to be ge nerous in
deed, in view of the general fact that
the Legislature found itself confront
ed with over drafts upon the State
Treasury amounting to 5000, 600 and
particularly in view OF the special fact
that of this amount more than $780,
600 was chargeable to the University,
having been accumulted under form
er administration and during former
biennial periods.
The favorable result Is due In
onr representatives, Senator Robin
son, Senator Swisher, Delegate Sny-
der and Delegate Warman, to whom
sincere Acknowledgements are heartily
given.
1t ought to be added that Senator
Robinson, being chairman of the Sen
ate Finance Committee, and Senator
Swisher, being a prominent member
of that Committee, were able to rem
der special service, which they render.
ed with notable ability and success.
Regent Babb, who is member OF
the House and of its Finance Com
mittee, Regent Cowden, Regent
3ranJ and some other Regents also
contributed largely to the favorable
result recorded above. There are de-
sirable things yet to be achieved, but
on the whole we shall be satisfied
and pleased with the situation. Only
kind words were heard at Charleston
concerning the University which has
a host OF warm friends and supports
among the members OF the Legisla-
ture Not few of these are Alumni
Of whom we are justly proud"
All the friends Of the institution
are greatly pleased with the bill as 1t
passed. The amendments which
were made to the appropriation bill
in the Senate were in putting tht
figures higher than they had beer
placed by the House. The Senate
added 800, 900 to the sum to be give
the University.

There is going Ia be big d0iDgs
when the first spike Is ready to be
driven on the street car line. This
much has been announced although
30 plans have been made for the affair
further than to get few prelimina-
ries ready.
The affair is 10 take place as soon
as some ties are ready for delivery.
These were expected by the company
to be delivered this week but they
have not yet been placed on the
ground.
When they come then will be time
for the celebration. The event will
mark an epoch In Morgantown and it
will be made correspondingly impress

Hon. Geo. c. Sturgiss will drive
the spike. 1t will be OF silver There
will be speeches from Mr.. Sturgiss
and others. A brass band will be
present and they will whoop things
up as far as they can do sc.
Work is going very nicely on the
construction of the line. A gang of
men are at work on Front street and
they are getting ready for track lay
ing which will be started as soon as
the ties and ballast are delivered.
Cars will be running before great
while and the trolley line will then
be believed In by some people who
have not yet fully convinced them
selves that there is to be anything
of the kind built in Morgantown.
They have but little longer TO remain
in this state OF mind however.

FIGHT BITTER AS EVER.
B. Il o. Will Oppose Entrance of the
wabash Railroad Into Fairmont.

FAIRMoNT, w. Va, Feb. 28.-'I
am here for the good of the city," ex-
planned Attorney W. S. Meredith to
the City Council at the special meet
ing OF that body called to discuss the
Wabash franchise for the First ward
"The Wabash is the city's greatest
salvation and all necessary franchises
should be given," stated Mr.. Mere
dith.
For number Of months the resi-
dents of Water street in the First
ward were opposed to the line using
that thoroughfare as roadbed be-
cause it would ruin their prop
erty. Already the Fairmont & Clarks
burg Street Car Company has line
on the street, which is not of suffic-
lent width for an additional track.
Mr.. Meredith represented the Wa
bash interests, while the opposition
was headed by Attorney Arnett, chief
of the Baltimore & Ohio legal force.
The ordinance will be amended and
it will come up as unfinished business
at the next regular meeting.
The results of the meeting are as
follows: Those in favor and those
opposed to the new road were at last
located; the ordinance was advanced
one more step; the Wabash company
demonstrated that the road would
