SENSATIONAL LIFE ENDED.
Man Who Married Miss Bessie Stuckey
is Dead by his own Hand.

DR.. Charles Williamson killed him
self at Winifrede the other day and a
brief mention of the fact was made
in this paper at the time.
1t will be remembered by the read
ers Of this paper, that while he was a
student ia Richmond, he met and
fell in love with Miss Bessie Stuckey,
whom he later married, who was at
that time a trained nurse ia the Vir-
ginia Hospital, and on one occasion
became ESQ jealous of her that he
shot her 10 the arm. which caused a
great sensation. After the affair had
quoted down and she had recovered,
he having by this time reformed to a
certain degree, they were married
They went to Baltimore where DR..
Williamson took a course IN medicine.
and then to Winifrede, where he &C.
cepted the position of assistant sur
geon with a coal company there.
DR.. Williamson left his wife at
Spainsville, near Winifrede, last Wed
nesday for the purpose of assuming
his duties with the coal company.
he went to Richmond to study from
Wellsville, Va, his home.
The details OF the suicide are very
meager and very little can be learned.
The cause OF the deed is not known,
but it is said that drink caused it, as
he was strong drinker, and was said
to have been under the influence of
intoxicants when he committed the
other deed at Richmond.
Miss Stuckey was formerly private
secretary of President John L. Good
knight and was well known in Nor.

Are Running Lines all Over the
West Side.
Trolley Lines and Railroad Routes are
Being Surveyed by Them-Elkins
viii Wait on the Wabash Construc-
fion Before he BuiIdssany Railroads
Interests Harmonious.

The identity Of the surveying corps
on the West Side has been disclosed.
People have lost sleep wondering what
in the Sam Hill all the surveying
meant. They have discovered stakes
set in every direction. Some Of the
discoveries have been rather painful
and hard on corDs.
The surveyors are running lines for
Eikins. They dre trolley lines and
railroad lines to. Mr.. Elkins owns lots
of coal on the West Side. In order to
reach these fields and to get his coal
out he must have railroads.
In accordance with these conditions
the surveyors have been ordered to
get busy and make as many surveys
as they may deem necessary.
Several lines will be run for the
Ii. g. K. and its connection With the
Wabash. Others will be surveyed for
the trolley line which Is to connect
Morgantown and FairmOnt.
A gentleman who is In position to
know what Mr.. Elkins wants. says
that he will decide what he will build
after hearing reports from the various
surveys which are being made.
He will do nothing toward building
to the Wabash until that road has
completed its line through the coun-
ty. He is at present undecided just
what direction his railroad will run to
meet the Wabash but that it will 60
for a certainty is finally determined.
A conference Will be held tomorrow
at Fairmout between the Wabash Of
ficials and representatives Of the SEN
ator relative to some real estate which
the latter owns in the vicinity of

The two interests are working in
harmony and Morgantown will get all

PRETTY AND APPROPRIATE.
The Recital Hall and New Teaching
Rooms of the school of Music.

A journey to the third floor OF Wosd-
burn Hall to see the new Recital Hall
and teaching rooms of the School of
Music will be we'll worth taking by
those who are interested in the growth
of this iourishing department of the
State University.
The new portion of the building
allotted to The School of Music is the
old Commencement Hall which was
once occupied by the medical Dept,
and later by the Commercial School.
An arch has been cut through to con-
meet with the old quarters Of the
school which OCCUPIED the third floor
OF the new wing Of WOODBURY. Hall.
The School now occupies the entire
third floor of Woodburn Hall. Old
Commencement Hall has been cut up
and divided into three rooms, a Recit-
al Hall, new office for the Dean and
new studio for Prof, Spence. These
rooms have all been decorated and
presented very handsome appear
ance. The Recital Hall is an artistic
gem and there is no room or Hall on
the Campus or in the city as hand
some as this is now. The cost of
decorating has been over S250.00 and
was personally supervised by Dean
Wrightson who secured the services of
Mr., Siegfried of GAINESVILLE Ohio to
do the designing and the work. There
are handsome panels on the ceiling
made of plaster relief and shaded down
with combination of dainty and del
cate colors, and all around the walls
is plaster relief scroll the main color
being soft and delicate pink. Such
room will add much to the artistic
atmosphere of the School of Music
Rectals and new Knabe Concert
Grand has been purchased and many
pleasurable events are looked forward
to as soon as the hail has been dedi-
Gated, which will be in the near fu-
ture.
The money for these Improvements
does not come out Of the University
funds, Dean Wrightson having under
taken to raise it among his personal
friends and music lovers.

Fine Weather Helps Practice
Training Table Established.
Eighteen Men in the Squad Saturday.
Coach Trout Pleased With the ma
terial-He is Popular With Players.
Old Men in Uniferm-New Players
ArIive-Team will be Heavy.

Even the weather man seems to
haze warmed up, or cooled down, to
the situation, and is showing mark
ed favor 30 the Old Gold and Blue
foot ball squad. The weather has
heeD fine and invigorating, and the
candidates for gridiron honors have
been able to show a good deal more
snap than is usual this early in the
season.
Coach Trout is putting the men
through a thorough system of trsin
ing A training table has been es-
tabIished at the Wallace House. and
the men are being fed on the food
that makes Drawn, ard destroys
superiuous fat. The menu will be
narrowed gradually. until they are
given only the most wholesome food.
A run of a mile or two every morning
about nine o'clock is one of the wind
and muscle makers practiced.
Eighteen men were out Tor practice
Saturday from two o'clock TO four.
After the practice Coach Trout said:
well we ought to get team out of
that bunch" He is satisfied with
the material already on hand, but is
looking for more Whenever big
man shows up on the campus,
Manager Stout and Captain Seaman
are after him. One Of the posi-
bilities captured in this manner is
Williams, six-footer from down in
the state, who has played foot bali,
aud knows considerable about the
game. Hardy, another man from
the southern part OF the state, is
expected here today. He is expect
ed to make the team.
Among the old men in uniform are
Core, Bingamon, Hammer, Simmons,
Want, Seaman and Waugh. Stew
art of Parkersburg is here. Falls,
an old Kenyon college player, arriv-
ed Saturday, and was in practice
this afternoon for the first time. In
addition to these, there are a number
of other good men who will be here.
Coach Trout is well pleased with
the material he has. He is popular
with the men, and the fans who
have seen him at work think he will
get the best work possible out of the
men. The team will probably be
heavier than it has been for several
years.

CHuO CHO0 CARS.
Wouldn't Nouldn Walt for Nee-Nee
Moo Sha, and She Didn'tsGet to Nor
gant0wn-lt's Just as Well.

A lot Of people were disappointed
or thought they were, which is just
as bad, when Nee Nee moo sha, the
copper colored Indian actress, aud
her white Squaw" company, failed
to reach Morgantown Saturday
night. There was no show, at the
theatre. 1t is rumored that Nee Nee
SHE'D at the cars some place in the
east, ard couldn't be coaxed aboard.
She missed connections, anyway and
the people who had tickets to the
show don't know whats they missed.
The story above is like many an
other Indian legend. 1t is pretty
but it isn't true. The fact of the
matter is that the show is bum. 1t
is Sc bum that the manager of the
Frostburg Opera House refused TO
let them appear.
Suit was brought against him by
the manager of the company who
saw the best chance to make money
ID his refusal that he had seen since
he hit the trail with his hostiles.
1t is probable that had tie show
come here a general massacre of the
company would have taken place.
Manager Swisher is congratulating
himself of his providential escape.

Big ENROLMENT.
las New Students Registered in
Three Hours MONDAY.
Number up to 300 at Noon Today.
Lots of Women-Woman's Hall Will
be Full-Big Things In School Of
Music-Re Record Breaking Figures.

The University was opened for
naturalization yesterday afternoon
from two o'clock to five, and in the
three hours las students registered.
Nearly all of these we're new ones,
those who have been here before
beng in no hurry to dispose of the
preliminarles.
At noon today the total number
who had registered was 800. There
are at least 500 students in town al
ready, and they are still coming by
every boat and train. A large per
cent. of these 800 are new students.
The number of women among them
is noticeable.
Twelve young ladies have already
secured rooms and are occupying
them at the Woman's Hall Mis- s
Moore and Mrs. Howe are seeing
that the woman students are com
fortably located and are looking af-
ter matters at the hall. Girls who
will room at the hall are still arriv-
ing, and it will be well filled by the
end of the week.
Dean Wrightson says that the
enrolment in the School Of Music is
enormous. He has not had time
to secure accurate figures yet, but
knows that great many students
are focking to this department of
the University.
The figures given above are all
record breaking. The fact that l45
new students matriculated on the
first day of the fall term seems to
indicate that this years enrolment
will reach 1900. Yesterday was
not regularly the first day for regis
tration, and it was indeed remarka-
BILE that so many were here, ready
and anxious to get int the big
school.
The old students are slow in ma
circulating, and great many OF
them will not enroll untilWednesday
and Thursday. Many will come in
at the end of this week, and a few
all through the term. There will be
between 700 and 500 for the fall
term alone.

INTERESTING LITIGATION.
Illinois man is In This Section Looking
up Affairs Connected With Morgan
town PeoDle.

w. L. CundHf, Esq, of Danviile,
Ill.,, came to town last evening to
take dispositions in the matter OF the
estate of VIM. II. Staggers, deceased,
formerly of MorgantoWn, w. Va, who
in $50 removed to Logan county, af-
terward so Vermillion county, H.,
where said Staggers died about two
years ago, says the Waynesburg Times.
Mrs. Staggers' maiden name was Hes
ter Jane Schriver. daughter OF Adam
Shriver, of our locality. 1t seems
that Mrs Staggers inherited fair
estate from her father, which she
merged with her husband, and invest
ed in Morgantown property, her hus-
band taking the title to same. When
Mr.. Staggers removed to Illinois, he
purchased property and took the title
to same, using his own and his wifes
means. at his death, by will, he left
his wife but life estate in the prop
erty, valued at $40, 900, the property
being devised to two nieces, who with
their husbands, possess it. The wild
ow prays the court to declare result
ant trust in this case, and to this end
the dispositions in Greene and Monon-
gaia counties are being taken. Mrs.
Staggers is in her seventythird year.
