There are now 6f3 names on the rolls

They will confine their efforts TO keep

company win keep on trying to get new

Inquest Into Death Of Burdick
Concluded Yesterday
Afternoon.
LITTLE HAS BEEN DISCOVERED
Shown That Murdered Man Was
Affeetionate Father and
Ills Life Was With
out Taint.

Buffalo. March 26. The inquest into
the death Of L. L. Burdick who was
murdered just one month ago, ended
this afternoon. At the close Of the in
quest Judge Murphey announced that
the official inquiry into the tragic death
OF Arthur Pennell, who has agured SO
prominently In the Burdick inquest, will
begin next Monday
The Burdick inquest has served ID
develope several theories relative TO
the crime that had been suggested
many days ago. but ii would be hardly
correct to say that the investigation
has added anything tangible to any OF
these theories.
Aside from the failure Of the author
tiles to secure evidence bearing direct
ly upon the commission OF the crime OF
to establish the identity OF the murder
er, there Is q feeling OF satisfaction
that the name Of Burdick has been lift
ed from the mire, In yhich IL was a.
first dragged. and his character shows
in its true light. Evidence brought
out at The examination by District At
torney Coatsworth has shown Burdicl
TO have been a loving father. Away:
willing to sacrifice his own happiness
and pride for the sake OF his Children
that he was the victim of false friends
and broken pledges and in the face Of
II ALL forgiving and indulgent hus'
band.
Efforts Of the authorities to fix this
crime upon someone win not end with
the inquest. At the same time there
is now little hope of success in 1t.

Pittsburg Men Have Received Brides
In Order to Square them-Story

les0me Factor to the Snowman.
Mr.. Mathews, the advance man
for the Great Lafayette has been in
town. He was on his way to Pitts
burg where he will raise rukus
next week. Mr.. Mathews was in
the MADEIRA Hotel lobby when NEW
DOMINION man came in. They were
introduced. He proceeded to talk
at once.
In his hand he had copy OF
yesterdays NEW DOMINION in which
there was story telling of Lafay-
cites experience in Pittsbnrg. Mr.
Mathews stated that the story rather
surprised him. He said that he had
hardly expected it to be published
here.
The story went on to tell of the
row that had been kicked up by the
Humane Society of Pittsburg. Mr..
Matthews showed receipt where he
had paid the agents to let up in
order OF to cripple the show.
The story as related in the papers
abou. the lion being tortured was
started by a Jersey City man and
went all over the country. 1t has
become boomerang. Humane agents
and others are now invited on the
stage in every city in the country
and they are given a chance TO see
whether or not electricity is used on
the animal.
A dozen or more OF them have
signed statements that there is no
cruelty used on the animal. In fact
all of the cities visited rec emily but
Pittsburg have done this.
On tho pext visit to Pittsburg
two Humane officers named Bell and
Stanley will be arrested and pros
ecuted for receiving brides and for
perjury The lawyers representing
the company have been loaded with
facts about it and they will get busy
with the officers.

story Published at Elkins Home OF
Senator Davis Tells OF Plan-First
semi-Officiai Statement Of His In
tentlons with His New Property.
The following railroad story is
taken from the Elkins Inter Noun
tain. This paper is published at
Elkins the home OF Senator Henry
G. Davis and It's utterances may be
regarded as semi. official The story
is the first one that may be regarded
as having good foundation in fact
of all that have been published:
Engineering corps are at work
making surveys up Leading Creek,
presumably with the object of loca-
ting railroad from a point near
Roaring Creek to Parsons. No in
formation can be had from reliable
sources, but there is no end to ru-
mors, one of which is that the sur
vey is for the suppose OF establish
ing connection between the Coal
& Coke at Roaring Creek and the
load building up Cheat river from
Rowlesburg, thus making connec-
ton line between the Charleston
Clendenning and Sutton railroad
recently purchased by ex-senator
H. G. Davis to Pittsburg. The Nor
gantown and Kingwood railroad has
already been purchased by Senator
Elkins which road is now completed
to Masontown in Preston county,
which leaves few miles more to be
constructed in order to reach the
West Virginia Northern at King
wood, from which point an easy
grade is obtainable to Rowlesburg
to connect with the road being built
by Hoo. J. T. McGraw, of Grafton.
With these few miles of road COM
pleted Senator Davis would have
one of the best railroads properties
in the country connecting as would,
Pittsburg on the north and Charles
ton on the south. This road from
Morgantown to Charleston will trav.
erse one of the richest coal and tim
Der fields in the United States, many
areas of which are owned by Sena-
tors Davis and Elkins.
The Coal d Coke railroad will al
so connect with the Little Kanawha
railroad, owned by the wabash PEG
pie, which will give competing
line with the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad both east and west thus in
surfing advantageous freight rates.
From Elklns a road will undoubt
eddy be built through Virginia to
tide water, thus securing every ad
vantage for the speedy marketing oi
the coal and timber in this state,
which is almost exhaustible.
The building of these new roads
will make Elkins one of the greatest
railway centers in the country.

SPLENDID CONCERT.
Next Tuesday Night to be A
Notable One.

In Musical Circles of MOrgantown-
Choral Society is In Fine Trim for
Event-Mrs. Osb0rn.Hannah and
mr.. Hannah are Artists Of Rare
Ability.
The concert to be given on next
Tuesday night will be of special in
terest for two reasons; FIRST because
the soloists, Madame Osborn Han
nah and Mr.. Frank Hannah, are ar
lists OF international reputation, and
second because of the excellent work
done by the Choral Society The
rendition of the "Hsllelujah Chorus"
(Handel) and of The Heavens Are
Telling" (Hayden) will show that
the aspirations of the Society are
by no means low, as those choruses
are among the finest ever written,
and the conscientious and steady
drill which has been persevered in
by both the Director and the mem
bers of the Choral Society, will be
appreciated by all who hear them
next Tuesday. Special mention
must be made of the cantata by
Spohr, entitled God, Thou Art
Great" which the Society has been
rehearslng for this occasion ever
since the inception of the, club last
October. The solos will be taken
by Miss Shaw, Miss Winans, Mr..
Marcum and Mr.. Barnes and the full
Choral Society of $50 voices. will
render the choruses.
II is an ambitious undertaking
for any Society to render music of
such high order, but the Society
showed at the Heinrich concert that
it was capable of excellent work,
even IN the short time it had then
existed, and it is hoped that Nor
gantown people will show their APP
probation of the excellent orc aniza
tion IN their midst, by encouraging
it b. large attendance. The
double interest in this and in the
opportunity to hear Madame o.
born Hannah should fill Commence
ment Hall.
The first part of the program, as
has been already announced, will be
devoted entirely to vocal solos and
duets by Mrs. Osborn Hannah and
Mr.. Frank Hannah. Mr.. Hannah's
voice is a tenor of rare purity and
remarkable range, his high notes
being wonderfully clear, he has in
addition, fine stage presence, and
sings with ease and much feeling.
Altogether, the concert will be one
of unusual merit and interest, and
should not be missed By one who
cares to hear good music.

Experience There with Humane So


Experience There with Humane So
ciety.
A year or so ago the Great Lafay
had an experience in Pittsburg
which created lot OF interest. In
one of his acts he enters a cage with
lion attirei as bride He then
changes TO lion tanner in view of
the audience. The lion is enraged
by electric shocks and is the picture
of fury when he enters the cage.
This trick caused the Humane
Society to have him arrested for
cruelty to the animal. He had to
disclose the nature of the trick in
order to get permission to GO on with
the act. Thirty people, three horses
and q lion are with this company
which is to be here shortly. All of
the big cities of the country have
witnessed his feats which cast Kel-
lar in the shade and besides his
ability as a clever artist in his line
the owner of the company is gen
tleman. This will be in pleasing
contrast to kellar even in this di-
rection.

In case they show that the three
counties have less than 1000 square

HEATING SYSTEM ADOPTED.
School Board Makes Contract for Heat
ing Fourth Ward School.

A meeting OF the Morgantown
school board was held Wednesday az
ternoon to decide upon heating sys-
ten for the Fourth ward school, build
ing. This had to be done before the
architect, Elmer f. Jacobs, could
complete his plans for the building.
All the members OF the beard were
present, and after thorough examina-
lions of the systems proposed, III was
decided to adopt the gravity furnace
system. This is hot air system that
is guaranteed to supply sufficient
amount of pure fresh air to each pu-
pill, but it is done without the expense
OF installing and maintaining an en-
CINE to force the pure air into the
building. The circulation is kept up
by means OF gravity. A furnace is
placed in the chimney, and the circu-
lation kept up by the difference in
temperature OF the inside and outside
air
Contract for the heating system and
a system OF water closets VAS let to

Company of Elm Grove, w. Va. The
contract price Is 1880. The auto
