WALL BLOWN DOWN.
Serious Damage to Traction Com
pany's Power House.

A severe wind storm visited Nor
gantown about six thirty last night.
While the wind was blowing with
such terrible force, the south west
wall OF the Electric Railway Com
pany's power house in Second ward
gave way resulting in several hun
dred dollars damage.
The wall had just been erected,
and the mortar was still green. A
great deal of the space in this wall
was occupied by DOORS and windows
standing from twelve to eighteen
high The frames had been placed,
and the narrow columns of brick
built in between, and only a very
slight arch completed above them
to bind them together. This condi-
tion made the walls remarkably
vulnerable to the driving force OF
the gale.
The workmen had quit for the
evening, so no one was hurt, but the
great mass of brick piled in upon a
template that had just been arrang-
ed with great deal of care in which
to build concrete nase for one of
the principal engines for the power
house. The bolts in this, reaching
to the bottom of the hardening con
crete were so twisted and bent, that
nearly all the work will have to be
taken out and started over again.
No permanent injury will result to
the building, but the extra work
will entail considerable loss to the
Pittsburg Construction Company
which has the contract for the cree
tion Of the building The time OF
the supervising engineer Of the rail
way company will also be required
to oversee the construction of new
emplate.

Rum0rs of Strike.

Rumors of a strike among the
plasterers were circulating this morn
ing, but when they were run down, it
was found that all the men were at
work but those waiting for materials.
There may be a strike among few
men, as one or two plastering contract
ors had not up to this morning made
any agreement with employers. AS
May 1st. is the day when the new
scale goes into effect, committee was
sent to wait upon the contractors. 1t
was expected that all but one, at
least would sign the scale.

TWO CENTS
"RUSTY SAWS"
Subject of DIR. Purinton 5 Ad-
dress at English Club.


Annual Meeting of fhis Organization
Visitors and Members Charmed
with the Address, Musical Pro-
gram Completes Pleasure OF Sisi-
tors.
One of the select and exclusive
organizations among the students of
West Virginia University is the
English Club, organized more than
two years ago 1t is composed OF q
few members who have high culture
and critical study Of English as
goals to be reached.
Meetings are held by this club at
stated times throughout the school
year, and occasionally few friends
are invited to Join the members.
Once year, an annual meeting is
held, at which some scholar OF emf
nence.ls invited to make an address.
To this annual meeting as many
visitors as can be accommodated in
the meeting place of the club are
usually invited.
Thursday night April both, the
annual meeting for this year was
held IN Judge Johnson's recitation
room, University hall. Quite num-
Der ofvisitors were invited, including
the members of the Fortnightly
Club, the senior class, members OF
the faculty and English major stu
dents,
President Purinton was invited to
address the audience. He chose as
the basis for his remarks, Rusty
Saws"
Giving first an illustration from
his own experience with live rusty
metal saw, he proceeded to the
analysis and criticism of many other
old rusty saws in literature and
proverbs. The doctor showed in
his entertaining style of presenta.
ton, that very many of the old pithy
savings with which we are SO tamil.
lar, are only old rusty saws. Instead
of being true, they are just the re-
verse. Cali Roads lead to Rome
is not true, for some of them lead to
Morgantown-in summer. The pa
per was particularly bright and
attractive.
Mr.. Herod presided at the meeting.
The members Of the club wore the Ok
ford caps, giving very classical sug-
gestion to the occasion. After the
conclusion of DIR. Purinton's paper,
the guests were invited to the Music
School rooms on the third door OF
| Woodburn Hall, where they were
charmed by a number of musical Sc
lections. Refreshments were served
during the singing and playing.
Mr.. Barnes sang nMonan and was
recalled for an encore. Miss Myrtle
Shaw sang Tosti's "a Song of Fare
well" and was so heartily applauded
that she had to report with another
selection. Mr.. Spence played the vio-
lin so sweetly that he had to come
back and play second selection, and
then a third. Miss Foster played
| piano accompaniment to these,
| Mr.. Roy Marcum sang "At Last
a song composed by regent G. e.
| Haworth OF Huntington AS an en-
core he sang the jolly "Stein Song'' by
| Billiard. Two selections on the piano
by Miss Russell McMurphy charmed
the audience at the close of the exer-
cises,
A most cordial reception was ten
dered for the visitors, who have many
words OF praise for the English Club
and for the speaker and talented mu-
sicians who entertained them.
