CHANGE MADE BY B. q 0.

,M0RGANTOWN, Dee. 19.-The Re.
publican has accomplished at least one
thing for the people of this city. 1t
has called atenion OF the B. & o. Of
ficIals to the nuisance to which they
have ben subjected Tor years In the
management OF the late train here
from Fairmont.
For a long time It was the custom
10 run this train into the suburbs OF
the city and then leave II standing on
the track while the engine was turned.
No mater how late the train arrived
the passengers hal 10 sit within a
few minutes from the end Of their
tlresome journeys while the train
crew made arrangements to get an
early start In the morning.
During the past week the train has
been run into the union station with
out stopping in South Morgantown and
the passengers have been enabled to
go to their homes without any delay.
Under the new arrangement the en-
CINE Is turned In the morning after
the train has started on It's way to
Farnont. The time lost is the same
to the passengers but most Of them
have time to spend at east junction
point and they do not object to spend
ing It on the train instead OF at their
meeting places waiting for other
trains.
The change Is one which meets with
the approval OF orcry one who enters
or leaves the CITY from or towards
Fairmont.

The Business Mems Club
Banquet.

The first meeting, this season, OF
the Business Mems Club was held
on Friday last at the dining room of
the Gladstone.
AS usual the first part of the pro-
gram was a feast of good things
supplied by mine host futile. The
meal though simple one was ex-
cellently served and seemed to be
well enjoyed by about SO members,
who sat down to help put it out of
sight.
After the dinner was over, Mr..
c. G. Knowles, the chairman of the
evening, in few brief remarks, gave
an outline of the work of the meet
ing, the first subject on the pro-
gram being the question whether
the farmers in the vicinity were get
ting fair prices for their products as
compared with neighboring towns.
Mr.. w. P. Knowles was the first
speaker, and gave statement of the
prices given for various kinds of
grain on the sd of January, which
showed that the grain buyers of the
city were at least on par and in
many items above the surrounding
markets.
Mr.. Houston however asked the
pertinent question: Why did they
pay more for barley at Glover's
than at the Falls? This provoked
quite warm discussion, the grain
buyers contending that they paid
all that they could, but offering no
of the admitted fact, that
during part of the season farmers
did get better price at the station
than at the city, this seeming how
ever to be limited to only one kind
of grain.
Following the grain discussion
Mr.. w. HI. Putnam was called upon
and gave statement of what might
be done in the business of manu-
featuring bee supplies. Mr.. Putnam
has been engaged in this line for
several years and has quietly work
ed up quite little business, SO much
in fact, that he thinks with a
sufficient amount of capital and good
management a profitable line of
could be built up,
which would employ some twenty
persons almost the year round.
After some discussion a committee
Of three was appointed consisting of
Messrs. Weld, Bailey and Stiles to
confer with Mr.. Putnam and get at
details of the business.
Taken all in all, it was an interest
ing meeting and it was the sentiment
Of those present that another meet
ing should be held next month.
The chairman stated that he would
select a committee to attend to the
work in a few days.
