THE DAILY RUNAWAY
Stretched from South Park to Suspen-

not Resist Conditions.

The daily runaway stretched from
South Park Hill TO the suspension
bridge, today. The little dun horse
belonging to the Stewart Plumbing
company was standing high up on the
South Park hill this morning. 1t
looked like an awful good chance for
a run-otf, and he started in to try.
He was attached 10 a light wagon,
coupled long, for hauling pipe. 1t
was an ideal thing to run away with.
Mr.. Stewart was locking the wheel
when the horse started. He tried to
get hold of the lines and was throw n
to the pavement. His head hand,
shoulder and knees were all SCARED,
but he sustained no serious injuries.
The horse dashed across South Park
bridge, down Peasants street, and on
to the suspension bridge. The wheel
of the wagon struck the end Of the
raised platform for pedestrians. The
vehicle turned over, struck the bridge
rail, and was righted again. Then
the animal was caught. The wagon
was something of q wre X This is

The dog was along this time, but he

TROLLEY FRANCHISE.
Has Been Granted by the County
Court of Taylor and VIII be Built.

GRAFTON w. Va, July 11-Many
Graftenians are wearing a broad
smile on account of the fact that
yesterday afternoon the court grant
ed to the Taylor County Electric
Railway Company the franchise
prayed tor and which had been prac-
tically refused some weeks ago. The
persons named in the franchise are
Messrs b. f. Bailey, L. +. Joyce, c..
II. Straube and Eugene Sommerviile.
and the grant gives them the priv
lege of operating an electric trolley
system over the public roads of the
county, the bridges etc, with but a
very few exceptions. The time limit
is so years. The knotty point the
court had to contend with was the
matter of time, and it was thought
yesterday before the final decision
was reached that the limit would be
cut down 80 or 35 years.
This guarantees the building of
the electric road at an early date
and the connecting of all the towns
of the county with the capital city
of Taylor No time will now be lost
in putting down the line With al
the money there is behind the
scheme little time will be required
until actual work begins.

INVESTIGATION NEEDED.
Complaints and Criticisms of
Morgantown
are Becoming Entirely TOO Prevalent
over the state-We should Deter
mine the Truth Contained in Them
II They are True We Must Get Busy
What Causes the Feyers

The following letter to the Charles
ton Mail is sample Of things being
said about conditions at Morgan
town:
Hon. Jacob S. Hyer, whose la
mented death occurred at Sutton
recently, contracted typhoid fever at
Morgantown while visiting a son
that also had fever, and he leaves
another son down now with the same
disease. This sad death following
close on the death from the same
cause of Prof. Morgan, Of the ex
perimental station, only emphasizes
the seriousness of the situation at
Morgantown where our boys and
girls are sent to the university, and
are furnished the vilest sewerage
tainted water from Weston, Clarks-
burg, Grafton and Fairmont The
people of the state should demand
pure water for their children.
ALEX. McVErGH MILLER.
The New DOMINION believes that
much of what has been said is ex-
aggerated AT the same time it
knows that there is fever here.
There are not as many cases as have
been reported in some of the papers
OF the state This is not the point
The fact that there is fever at all is
the meat in the question.
Fever is preventable. There is a
cause for it, We must find the
cause and remedy it.
Some people allege that it comes
from the water. This the water
company denies. 1t should be an
easy matter to settle it beyond ques.
tion An analysis OF the water may
be had and the result published.
This paper viii be glad to publish
the result of the analysis.
The situation has reached a point
where something must be done. If
conditions are allowed TO go along
without any move on our part we
are going to suffer the Consequences
which will be very detrimental 10
our interests IN every way.
Private people cannot do very
much themselves. 1t is up to the
city council to ascertain the facts
and to take what steps may be
necessary. So far they have done
little or nothing tangible in this
direction. They meet this evening
and they should go into this matter
and stay with it until they have To-
caJed the cause Of the trouble and
removed it.
Ifthere is nothing the matter with
the water, the milk supply should be
Investigated. 1t wont do any harm
to get busy with all probable sources
Of infection and TO attend to them
properly. What are We going to do
about it?
