PLANS
APPROVED
FOR NEW UNIVERSITY BUILDING
WASHINGTON ARCHITECTS WILL
BE RECOMMENDED.

BUCKHANNoN, W. Va, March B.
The faculty committee of the Wesleyan
University Of West Virginia favors the
plans proposed by Harding and Upham,
of Washington. D. c., for the new build
ing, and this firm will be recommended
to the board of trustees at the Parkersr
burg meeting next Wednesday. OF
course. the approval of the committee
does not entirely settle the matter, but
il is not likely that the trustees win
revoke the action.
The building proposed is to contain %
class rooms, Offices for the president and
vice president, three society rooms. and
a large chapel. The latter is to be
situated on the first floor and will have
a seating capacity of l400 Tie new
building win be nearly twice as large as
the one destroyed and will cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000.
Contributions continue to come in at
a very gratifying rate. 1t is likely that
at the meeting of the Board of Trustees
next Wednesday there will be not less
than $4,000 of the money in signt. The
work of rebuilding will be pushed as
rapidly as the weather will permit.

TAYLOR CASE
CTNTINUED
BY GRAND JURY AT GAINESVILLE
IMPORTANT WITNESS GOES
FROM CUMBERLAND, MD.

GAINESVILLE. o., March 3-Wnile, of
course, nothing can be predicted as to
tae course which will be pursued by the
grand jury investigating tne criminal
operation cases of Mollie Taylor and
Nellie Bash. yet it seems probable that
indictments will be returned, from the
fact that the same witnesses are being
examined as those called by rne coroner
and their testimony was so damaging it
resulted in the arrest of three men, DR..
II. P, Farquaar, L. f. Mooney and d. o.
Watson.
The grand jury Tuesday went into
session at o'clock, and was excused at
4 o'clock. In that time it is almost i'm
possible to ascertain the number of wit.
nesses examined, but it is thought TO be
about nalf a dozen.
One noticeable fact about the per-
sonnet of the grand jury is that they
are all of mature age and not likely TO
be swayed much by passion or prejudice.
They are all men OF sound judgment and
will weigh long and carefully every lott
of evidence before taking any action.
As time proceeds it is realized that
the session will last until Friday or
Saturday. The examination of witness
les is most exhaustive one and it is
limited that additional facts are being
brought under the cross fire questioning
of the county prosecutor, c. G. Lemert.
There still seems to be one witness
VINO cannot be found. Sheriff II. F.
Elliott went to Bridgeport Tuesday az
ternoon and mas not yet returned. While
tae officials are keeping mum about the
aaffir it is certain that ne went over
there to secure an important witness in
the Mollie Taylor case.
One man arrived from Cumberland
yesterday evening and reported his at
tendance to the clerk. He received
notice in Cumberland to come over to
GAINESVILLE, whatever the cost, to testi-
fly, as ne mas important testimony to
offer. Everything possible is being done
by the officials to probe tine mysteries to
the bottom and the result of the DELHI
erations of the grand jury will be
awaited with the greatest interest by all.

scientific experiments. erects in shadows

Contract For Whole Road.

An impression prevails in some quarters, says the Batesville Guard, that a contract has been made for the construction of but ten miles of the Missouri, Arkan- sas and Southwestern railroad. The contract for the entire road in fact, has been made, covering a distance of 40 miles, to the Mississippi river. Work will be- gin at the north end of Pfeiffer's s spur, five miles north of this city, as soon as the engineering force completes it's work.
 The bond of the contractors, Bodkin & Moore, for the comple- tion of the line within eighteen months, has been approved by R. w. Earnhart, president of the Missouri, Arkansas & Southwest ern Railway Company.
 Contractor Bodkin is exper- fencing considerable difficulty in getting his grading outfit here to begin on the new railroad. Some of the supplies which were ship ped from Memphis on September 28 having not yet arrived Tn Batesville.
