5AWRoNe' VIEW.

The announcement that Prof. U. 8,
Fleming Is to- sever his connection
Rithsthe Fairmont Normal school AZ.
ter tina close Of The present year is
made the subject Of a half column ar.
s;ticle IN the Times this MORNING to
the prejudice Of the Board OF Re-
\ gents, inswhlch It Is tried 10 make ,nu
public believe that there Is a rupture
between PROT. Fleming and the board
because Of his distribution Of the
printing for the school. We venture
TO say that the Board Of Regents has
never conyersed with Prof. Fleming
On that subject at all and that tho
majority of4the board does not even
know whether he gets his printIDa
done In Fairmont, Wheeling Or New
y ,ri City It has been the custom
;withSthe Normal principals in the past
and with Mr.. Fleming to distribute
this work with the several Offices Of
the town, principally with the newspa.
per offices, and no one has ever been
4 so; little, to our knowledge, as to make
any complaint as to justice Of this
distribution.
This same plan is followed by the
I superintendent Of the city schools and
no one has any complaint as to that
5since; the newspapers do a great deal
4 .forG the schools, anu 1t Is right and
proper thai; this work should be divid.
Z ed between them, and no one is max.
ding any complaint about that either.
The only printing the Fairmont Nor.
NAL school has to DO that amounts to
much money Is the printing of the
& Normal Bulletin (Catalogue) and this
IT'S let to tina lowest bidder The low.
est bidder last year happened to be
sstthe Fairmont West virginian Publish.
Ing Company. All the other printing
that is done with the exception Of
the Bulletin will probably be covered
Z a by from 500 to $3.50 per year. So II
Is plain TO be seen that the office that
4 does all oft does not have the bonanza
that someswould have you believe
and the office that loses all Of It will
not be banrapted from loss of this pat.

"a The West Vlrglnlan agrees with the

these Influences. It will be almost an
imposslbilltylto find much OF a politi.
h cal scheme behind the resignation OF
Prof n Fleming or the action of tho
board since Mr.. Fleming Is a Repub.
llcan. and being such is loyal to his
party. The condition Of Prof. Elem.

X that he has been advised to give up

Miss Delms B., was united in marriage

and a profusion Of lovely flowers, very
tastefully arranged, added greatly to
the effects of the entire arrangement,

CHARLES PLUMMER
SLASHED WITH A KNIFE.

On Monday night just before mid
night an ugly cutting afiray occurred
near the Windsor Hotel in South Mil
ford, which was the result Of blood
fired by too much liquor
1t appears from the evidence Of those
who saw the affair, and the affidavit
of Plummer, that Charles Plummer
and John Bennett went into the bar
room OF the Windsor Hotel after glass
Of beer. Plummer works for Bennett in
his barber shop in North Milford. In
there they met John c. Ratcliff and
others, and before leaving near mid.
night, a row was started between them
over the cost of hat that Ratcliff had
smashed.
They went outside and when near
the corner OF South Front and Walnut
streets, about one hundred feet from
the hotel, the Gle" was passed between
them and Ratcliff called Plummer
dam sOn.of- bitch land then the fight
was on. Ratcliff was knocked down
and stamped in the breast and stomach
by Plummer and while OfficeTTrice was
separating them the cutting was done.
Plummer received a cash across his
throat on the right side that barely
missed the juglar vein, another cash
laid the flesh open to the bone just be-
low the shoulder of his left arm and
severed an artery from which the blood |
poured, also another cash eight inches
long across the right side Of his stOm-
ach, but fortunately not into the intes-
tines, which required twelve stitches to
close up, and another cash down the
chin and breast clear to the bone.
Realizing what he had done, Ratcliff
assisted the man to get medical assis-
tance, and helped to take him home.
Doctors Stanton and Pratt, nearly two
hours afterward, dressed his injuries,
and found him very weak from loss Of
blood
Ratcliff was arrested and taken before
Esquire Fisher for hearing. An affi-
davit Of Plummer was taken, and in it
he xpressly stated that he did not want
to prosecute Ratcliff, as he was equally
to blame for the trouble, but stated that
Ratcliff did the cutting. Esquire Fisher
held Ratcliff under $500 bail pending
the result of Plummer's injuries.
Ratcliff is a young man, carpenter,
and when not drinking is very peace
able. He has also promised to pay all
charges and costs TO PIummer by res.
son Of the fracas but the State has the
last to say in cases of this kind, and
of the peace have not the
option of saying how such cases will be
handled by the law.
