was whether the decision of the umpire

The umpire refused to settle the dispute

asylum, committed suicide last Thurs
day morning by throwing himself be-

number of other patients in charge of an
attendant, Nun was out walking in the

His death was instantaneous. A coroner's

Enlargement of state street Church

On Wednesday evening Rev. DR.. S.
V. Leech assembled his church officers
to lay before them plans for the en-
largement and improvement of the
church ediflce. A fine pipe organ, hav-
ing eight hundred pipes, is 10 be built.
The pastor desires the erection of a
wing to the church, on its eastern
side, from the ground TO the roof o.
the edifice. 1t will be twenty five feet
by twenty, and become in the upper
story part OF the auditorium to be
used for the new organ, the choir
platform and the pulpit, and will open
into wide altar. The pews will be
turned eastward to face this addition
to the auditorium and additional pews
will take the site Of the present pull
pit and altar. The lower story will
contain in addition to Ladies
kitchen" large parlor that can also
be used for SUNDAY school primary
apartment, 1t is estimated that the
organ and addition to the church will
cost thirty-eight hundred dollars. On
Wednesday night two of the trustees
subscribed five hundred dollars each
towards the enterprise. The Ladies'
AID society has unanimously suhscrib-
one thousand dollars. DR.. Leech
seems certain that the remaining
eighteen hundred dollars will be con-
tributed by the membership and
friends of the church. With this i'm
provement, and the great organ, the
church will need little repair tor years
to come The success OF the plans
seems assured. At present there IS
not dollar OF Indebtedness resting on
any of the church property. -Charles-

CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH


Last Quarantine Raised sunday
Strict Attention Of Health Board Ia,
Made Quick work Of Cleaning Vi
the Disease.
/! DIR. Warren, the health officer, re.
ports that the last quarantine has
been raised that was established on
account OF smallpox, and that he can
now present clean bill Of health for
city and county, 50 far as the health
board has any knowledge. The first
case of the disease was reported To
the health officer February %. There
have been 81 cases under guard since
that time. None have proved fatal,
and it is gratifying to know that the
disease has been entirely stamped out
in SO short time.
The daughters of Benson Jacobs,
at Little Fails, have recovered, and
the guarantee was raised there last
Friday. No other cases have beeL
reported from the county, outside OF
West Morgantown, where VIM. Mason
had the worst case which developed
here. The Schlobohm family in
North Morgantown was the last TO
have the disease in that section. The
guards were all discharged there last
week. and the premises cleaned up on
Saturday. All the cases have recov-
cred in this family.
The home OF Henry Dusenberry was
under guard for ten days on account
of the Illness of Mr. Dusenb berry, who
had symptoms OF smallpox, but the
disease die not develop, and the re-
strictions at his home were removed
Sunday. There is now not even a
suspect 10 the city.
Considering the chances for infec-
ton before the serious nature OF the
disease was discovered, and the furth-
ther fact that so many people doubt
ed its being genuine smallpox, after 1t
was reported TO the Board OF Health,
it is most gratifying to those who
have been combating the disease, TO
be able to report clean bill Of health
so soon. With the exercise OF proper
care, Morgantown ought not again
have even such a light outbreak Of
smallpox as the one through which
she has just passed.
People will be more suspicious OF
all eruptive diseases after the expert
ence OF the past winter, and beside
that, so many persons have been vac
mated, that not many victims can
ce found by the disease who are not
blready immune.

The Kingwood Council turned
down the application of the Morgan
town Company for franchise Tor
Water Works here without making
any explanation or giving the com
pany chance to make amendments
in the franchise. In fact the action OF
the Council was arbitrary and dis
courteous and gave the Impression
that the people of the town did not
want water works. In this the
Council is woefully mistaken and
will find out that their action does
represent our people. The Water
Works franchise has been under
discussion since last November and
il was generally understood that. it
would be amenaed in several par
ticulars to make it satisfactory, and
the Company expressed willingness
to meet any objections, and make
some amendments in order to make
it reasonable and fair, and yet, the
Council put the matter off all win
ter ard delayed matters as long as
possible and when representatives OF
the Company. finally came over them
selves to push them into doing some
thing, they had co siderable trouble
to get meeting at all, and then we're
turned down squarely without being
asked for any amendments or changes
in the franchise. If the council think
the people of this town are going to
stand tor that kind of business with
out calling them down they might
as well find out better one time as
another.

When but boy he learned the trade OF
harness making with his grandfather,
Mr.. Pogue, of Wise, W. Va. He came
to Blacksville about ten years ago, and
was married to Sarah H., daughter of
Eiiam Hoskinson, OF this town, on the
fouth day of March, 1895, unto which

TORN STAMPS NOT GOOD.
A Fact not Generally Known to Letter
Writers

The Post Office Department has
under preparation small book, TO
be issued topatrons of the postoffices
throughout the country, which will
contain great amount of informa
tion regarding the business of the
postofficc which is not generally
known. The book will be, in a
measure, a book of instruction as
to how to transact business
with the postofiice. One of the
things to be treated will be the use
of mutilated stamps on letters. 1t
is not generally known to users OF
postage stamps that a torn or de
faced stamp cannot be used. Per
suns who have torn stamps in their
possession have been in the habit OF
pasting the two pieces together and
thus placing it on letter This is
prohibited in the postal regulations
and the person who uses such a
stamp runs the risk OF not having
his or her letter delivered. Some
times the stamps are so well repair
ed that the tear escapes detection,
but should the rent in the stamp be
found by the postal officials it is OF
no value. The book will also contain
information regarding the registry
and money order systems.

ABROAD GAUGE

Promised from Washington to Waynes-
burg next Summer.
With the report that the Wabash
railroad is to be built through Greene
aud Washington counties within a
year probably, comes again the asser-
tion that the W. s. w. railroad, from
Washington to Waynesburg. is to be
made standard gauge, tie contract
for the work having been given out
recently to Kerbaugh g. Co., con-
tractors, OF Philadelphia. 1t will be
remembered that about two months
ago representatives OF the contracting
firm mentioned together with repre-
sentativrs of other firms went over
the road with view OF making bids
on the work. Now it is announced
that the Philadelphia company was
successful In securing the contract.
As to the time when the company
must begin or finish the work, no
public mention has been made, al
though IL is believed that the COM
pany has in mind the early compile
tion of the work. From latest reports
the WaLash railroad company will
likely during the present year COM
plete its line, and the prediction that
the Pennsylvania company will be
the first to have broad gauge to the
Greene county capital will most prob
ably be verified In the actual construc-
tion Of the road this summer.
