A SAD BLOW

ed by DR.. E. L. Gardner, pres
ident of Salem college.
Mr.. Randolph was born in Sa-
lem in 1875 and received his early
education in the schools of that
city. He graduated at the univer-
sity with an A. B. degree in 1900
and the year following was given
his NJ. E. at Cornell, having COM
pleted a fve-year course in four.
Immediately after his graduation
he accepted a position as drafts
man whit he Gray-Raisdell COM
pany and within a very short
time was promoted to the posi-
tion Of chief craftsman.
He resigned this situation in
1902 to accept an instructorship
in mechanical engineering at the
university, and again he was pro-
noted within a year, this time to
the position which he occupied
when death came. His father,
Preston F. Randolph; his broth
er, Ray, and sister, Mrs. Joseph
Roster, wife Of the superintendent
of the Fairmont schools, were
present when he died.
His affianced bride, Miss Ber-
tha Smith, of Sistersville, who is
a senior student in the School of
Music, was also with him when
death came.
His mother was unable to be
here. Prof. Randolph had the best
of medical attention, Drs. Sivey,
Edmondson and Wade having the
case. DR.. Cook of Fairmont, was
summoned Sunday, and was in
consultation with the other ply
sicians for several hours in the af-
ternoon. The cause Of death was
urea coma.
Mr.. Randolph was member
of the Seventh Day Baptist
church at Salem. He was a men,
ber, of the Phi Sigma Kappa fra
terhIty, was a master Mason at
the Salem lodge, and member OF
the Knights Templar at Clarks-
burg. He was unmarried, but
his engagement had been an
nounced.
Too much cannot be said OF
Mr.. Randolph's ability and his
capacity for work. He had nu-
merous friends among the stu
dents and professors at the uni
versity as well as in the city. His
death is greatly deplored and his
loss is a loss to the community.

AN ACCOUNT OF YOUNG
BRITTINGHAM'S DEATH

fore the cutter reached the place.
a man in the cutter, Blackburn,
from Wyoming, saw Phil going
down while he was still some dis
tance away, and jumping over
board, he swan to him, but he
was too late. The cold water and
Pills violent struggle to keep
afoat had quite exhausted him,
and he could not hold out long
enough. Two of the men who were
saved tainted after getting to the
cutter, and all of them were so
exhausted that they could not get
ON board themselves, but had to
be lifted into the cutter. You
can see that helping one another
was quite out of the question. The
water was very rough, the waves
running from three to four feet
high; this, with the high wind
and the cold water, made swim
ming very difficult, and it is al
most a miracle that. the cutter
reached the place quickly enough
to save any of the men in the wa
ter.
Phil showed great fortitude and
gameness. At no time did he call
out. When he found that he was.
becoming exhausted he did not
cry for help from those whom ne
knew to be fighting for their own
lives, but he evidently worked
quietly and cool-headedly to the
last, trying to save himself.
The fellows show that they
feel his loss keenly, for Phil,
though a quiet fellow, had won
many friends, and as soon as word
reached quarters scores of fellows
of all classes went Immediately to
the dock and fairly fought for
places to go out with the party
which went to search for his
body.

Cadet Grafton Beall, of Wheel
ing, has written letter telling
IN detail of the circumstances at
tending the sad tragedy in which
his fellow cadet, Philip S. Brit
tingham, also of Wheeling, lost
his life last Sunday afternoon. He
says:
Phil, with four of his class
mates, was out in one Of our sail
ing launches when a squall struck
the boat and overturned it. The
boat is one of the oldest types of
boats which we have. 1t carries
a sinking ballast of pig iron, SO,
when it filled it sank almost in
stantly. The water was so rough
that swimming was very difficult,
and after keeping up for about
twenty minutes in the rough sea
then running, he became so ex-
hausted that he went down be-
fore he could be saved, though
help, by this time, was close at
hand.
These squalls blow up without
a moment s warning, and sailing
in squally weather requires, at the
best, the greatest watchfulness in
as dull a boat as a sailing launch.
The squaH hit them broadside
on, and before they could get up
into the wind the boat listed, fill
ed and sank. One man who was
not able to swim very well was
given the ice cream freezer, which
floated up. Phil said that if they
helped him get off some of his
clothes he would be all right.
They swan to him Immediately
and they helped him out OF his
clothes. Some midshipmen In a
cutter quite a long distance away
saw them go over, and they came
Immediately to their assistance.
1t was fifteen minutes or more be-

w. NJ. Smith, of South Wells
street, returned yesterday from
Morgantown and Salem, where he
went to attend the funeral SER
vices of the late Clyde Randolph,
professor Of mechanical engineer
ing in the West Virginia univer-
sity. Mr.. Smith was accompan-
led home by his daughter, Ber-
tina, whose betrothal to the de-
ceased\wa recently made known.
Miss Smith is a senior music stu
dent in the university, and will
graduate this year. Her engage
ment to Prof. Randolph was to
have been followed by their we'd
ding just after commencement in
June. This is a most sad and un-
looked for termination of their
betrothal and Miss Smith has the
heartfelt sympathy of the univer-
sity faculty and students, and her
acquaintance in Morgantown,
where she is so well and widely
known. Here in her home town,
too, where she is highly esteem
ed and beloved by all who know
her the sincerest sorrow is felt by
those who have learned of her be-
reavement.
The following is copied from
the Morgantown Post of Monday :
Clyde Randolph, assistant pro-
fessor of mechanical engineering
at the university, died at 3:15
Monday morning, May 16, 1904,
after brief illness of stomach
trouble. He was taken sick a
week ago Thursday, but his i'll
ness was not considered serious
until the night before he died.
Funeral services will be held here
at the residence of NJ. S. Garri-
son at 7 80 this evening. DR.. P.
B. Reynolds will conduct the ser
vice and a short talk will be made
by Prof. Hodges.
The interment will be Tuesday
at noon, at Mr.. Randolph's old
home in Salem, w. Va, and the
remains will be sent from here on
the 6 o'clock train in the morning.
Prof. Robert A. Armstrong will
be the faculty representative at
the funeral, and Lieut.. NJ. NJ.
Neely Of Fairmont, will represent
the students and the fraternal or
carnations to which the young
man belonged. The funeral ser
vices at Salem will be conduct
