PECULIAR COINCIDENCE.
Judge Maxwelps Picture was Placed
in Room With the Deceased Jugdes
of Supreme Court.

The Charleston Gazette has the
following:
General Oxley, assistant clerk of
the supreme court of appeals, re-
lates the following incident occurring
day or so after the arrival of the
Judge Edwin Maxwell in Charleston
to attend the recent session of the
legislature:
In the offices OF the clerk OF the
supreme court are hung the pictures
of all those who have occupied seats
in that body, among them being
that of Judge Maxwell. The ar
rangement of these pictures is such
that those of the judges who are
dead occupy places in the main and
in the connecting offices, while those
living are hung in the Office of the
assistant clerk. By some means,
Judge Maxwell's picture had gotten
in the main office, and that of Judge
Berkshire, who died a short while
since, in the room with the judges
who pre- living.
Judge Maxwell coming in TO make
social visit, observed this arrange
ment, and in his usual positive man
ner asked that he be placed among
the living, which was promptly done.
Coming in a few days before he was
taken i'll and seeing his picture To-
Gated a srequested, he remarked
quite pleasantly, swell, see you
have me among the living"
General Oxley said to the Gazette
reporter, "little did / think then
that within less than two weeks the
judges picture would be draped in
mourning. The Judge appeared in
much better health and looked even
younger than he did fourteen years
ago, when l served with him in the
state senate"
OF all the judges who have been
members of this court only four be-
sides the members composing the
present court, are living, viz; Judge
johnson, dean of the law school of
the state university; Judge Moore,
who resigned from the bench and
lives retired life on his farm near
Point Pleasant, Judges English and
Lucas, both engaged in active prac-
| tice of their profession.

The DOVE OF PEACE
Hovers over the law Class and
University Council.

Probability that Row will soon be
SettIed-Partfes have Arranged q
Truce and Agreed.upon terms-LOcal
Attorneys aid In Settlement.
1t is very probable that the trouble
between the University Council and
tie class in Constitutional Law will
be settled shortly. The Injunction
which had been obtained by the class
was served ON the eleven members by
Deputy Sheriffs Core and Demoss.
They had been expecting them OF
course and were not surprised.
No steps have been taken by them
to have the Injunction dissolved. The
council has not been called to meet
but probably will get together this
evening.
A meeting Of the law class was held
this morning. DR.. Purinton was
present. The class presented some
subs titute resolutions which state
that the men who sign them apologize
to Col Frazer as instructor but not
as man, that they do not agree TO
pay for damage to furniture aud that
the men who were not present on the
occasion of the riot de not pledge
themselves to any thing.
DIR. Purinton stated that these
would probably be accepted ty the
council.
Moreland and Glasscock have been
retained by the students as local coun-
sci and advised them what to do. The
whole matter will probably be settled
amicably by Monday and the injunc-
tion dissolved.

To the Editor OF the New DOMINION.

To the Editor of the New DOMINION.
There have been statements made
to the effect that the Master Painters
of Morgantown have formed trust
to advance the price OF work to the
customer, and to reduce wages paid to
the workmen. Other silly claims
have been made, and it is to set the
facts before the people OF Morgan
town that we make the following
statement:
Last fall the journeymen painters
formed local Union and notified the
Contracting Painters Of their demand
for higher wages considering the
hours), aggregating an increase to
painters of So cents, and to paper
hangers Of 81 per day. This we feel
is unfair to our customer as well as to
ourselves, and for the protection of
each other We were forced to organize
to resist such demands.
We think the men have been receiv.
ing fair compensation for their Ia
bors, still we are willing to grant them
a part of the advance asked, of which
we notified them, the proposition be-
ing refused.
We trust this explanation will set
Alright all false statements of TRUST
and high prices, and that the public
will view the matter in its proper
light. Respectfully,
Local Association OF Master Painters
of Morgantown, W. Va.

TO INSTALL MACHINES.
Window Glass To be Blown by
Machinery.

American Company has Cat Loose
From Federation and Independent
Companies and will go lit Aione--kil
FACTORIES to be Equipped with Ma
chimes Conflicting Claims as to
Utility of New Blowers.
The window glass trade is now
somewhat stirred up over the an
nouneement that the American
Glass company will install blowing
machines. 1t has given W eeks no
tice to its workmen and will close
down all its factories on March 4th.
Steps will at once be taken to in
stall the machines.
A meeting of three combines of win
dow glass makers was recently held
in Columbus Here the Federation,
tae American and the Independent
companies met together. The first
named stated that it intended to in.
stall machines but that it would not
make more than its percentage of
glass if the others would close down
when it wanted TO quit They de-
clined 10 do so.
This declination made the Amer
lean people mad and they have de-
termlned to cut loose from the
agreement which they have had
with the others and they will go it
alone. They will make all the glass
possible and great disturbances are
expected in the window glass market
as result.
1t is stated that the difficulties In
the way of operating the machines
have all been overcome and that they
are now success. They reduce
the cost OF manufacture more than
half. This will reduce the cost to
the consumer materially.
ALI of the plants in the American
Window Glass Company will be
equipped with these machines. The
company has applied for a New Jer-
sey charter which is soon to be
granted.
Window glass workers state that
the machines are not success and
that they win not do what is claim
ed for them but President A. j :.
Chambers of the American says
that they are everything that is al
legged for them and that they will
revolutionize the business. He says
that they days of high wages to
blowers in the window glass bust
ness are near an end. The machines
do the work which the blowers now
do.
The local plants including the
Marilla and the Jones are in the
Federation. Officials from these
plants attended the Columbus meet
ing. They state that the machines
will not do what is claimed for them
and that they do not tear the com
petition of the American. They
will operate some time longer this
spring before banking their fires for
the summer.

MADE his REPORT.
DIR. Carter Tells of His Investf-
cations Here.


Public Meeting Held in Court House
on Saturday EyenIng-C Chicken Pox
and small Pex Both exist in Town
All cases Of Latter Traced to wiIes
Hill.
Saturday night in the Court
House DR. Fl. r.. Carter made his
report to the County Health Board
of the Investigations which he had
made here. He kindly requested
that the board sit in the court room
and allow as mrny of the public as
might wish 1t to be present to hear
him.
About one hundred people attract
ed by the ringing of the big bell
came to the court room. DIR. Carter
told of each case he had visited, of
the nature OF the disease with
which they were afflicted and the
probable source of the infection.
He asserted that he had seen nine
cases which he knew are small pox
and three others which he was CON
fldent was the same disease. This
was from what the physicians in
charge had told him.
These cases are on Wiles Hill
with two exceptions. These are Gel
Mason and Elmer Smith. One of
these is on the west side and the
other on Beechurst. Both of them
were contracted on the hill. The
three children in town who had been
suspected are said to have chicken
pox.
DR.. Carter entered into long de-
scription of small pox and chicken
pox and how to tell the difference.
He traced every Ease of small pox
back to Wiles HILL
He stated that it was only nee.
essary to quarantine the several
houses in which it is to be found al d
TO vaccinate every one who may be
exposed. He recommended the
establishment of a detention hospi-
tai for the treatment OF the slck.
1t was asserted that the outbreak
was mild one. He said that he
had seen it milder however. He
stated that if the proper precautions
OF isolation and vaccination be taken
no more cases need be feared.
Every one who heard him feels
very much encouraged over what he
said and the feeling is general that
it is only question of a short time
until all the cases have disappeared.
All the physicians in town with The
exception of DIR. Cox accompanied
him on his visits to the sick. The
latter was unable to be present but
agrees with the finding.

Wabash Entrance to Fairmont is up in
the Air and Rumors are Flying.
The following special has been
received from Fairmont concerning
the Wabash entrance to that city:
Conflicting stories concerning the
Wabash and it's entrance into this
city are to be heard on every corner,
and since the action of Council
Tuesday night, the exact situation
is still very much in the dark.
Last night it was given out on
semi-official authority that the Off
cials would abandon the Eastside
route on account oil the enormous
price for right of way asked by tie
residents over. there, and will take a
route on the west bank, coming into
town by the way of tunnel through
the hill from GAINESVILLE. This route
1T is claimed, could be made for half
the money that is asked for the
privilege on the Eastside.
At the same time, Famor was
afoat to the effect that Wabash
officials would be here the first OF
next week to take up all the right
of way that has been contracted for
on the Eastside.
The proper officials for lnforma-
ton are out of the city and they
will not return until Tuesday, when
the matter of a franchise will come
up In Council, providing there is a
quorum of the same present.
The numerous rumors have caused

The proceedings were Instituted by
Attorney G. NJ Alexander at the in
stance Of the prisoners relatives.
Ever since Cade, the man who
swore out the warrant for Parker, has
been in FairmoHs, the belief in Park
sr's innocence has been growing. But
the climax came Thursday when one
OF the Wrights, a relative OF the dead
man, it is said. told an officer in this
city that he knew that Parker did

living Wright, "Parker has said that
he did know who did kill Wright. and
we want to pump him."
About this time the Bslington men
discovered that Parker's relatives were
not going TO stand for any more fool
ishness, aud they went to Constable
Jones and settled up with him, and
paid Parker's bill at the jail, and
went TO sheriff and demanded their
prey.
'sToo late,n said the Sheriff. "I've
been served with papers ordering me
to hold Parker here till 2 O'Clock
and then produce him in Circuit
Court
This took the Belinpton men of
their feet and they declared they had
never heard of such law as that.
Cade, the States witness, it is said,
told officers in Fairmont that feeling
was high at Belington against Parker,
and that If he was taken back there
without a heavy guard he would be
received by a mob.
kilograms from Belington signed by
the best men of that city state that
no one there conversant with the facts
believe that Parker is guilty Of killing
Wright. Letters received here by
friends of Parker from citizens of
Belington and other nearby towns,
however, indicate that many people
have an idea who did kill Wright,
and the arrest Of Parker will probably
stir up the case to point where the
real murderer will be detected.

Application was made day or so
