rs the visit Of these two rovivalists' It
is said that audiences Of twenty thousand
and thirty thousand come to hear them
daily and nightly, and go away "con-

the exception Of the Times, only sneGrs at
them, but it has to sneer daily, and to the
extent Of many columns, The snecring
only adyertises them. The notable OK.

event that ever happened in England,

As Is noticed In our local columns this
morning, there was an entertainment at
the McLure House on Tuesday night last,
gotten up by the lawyers employed in the
Gas Company Case, ms an expression 1--WE
supposc) Of their satisfaction over the
termination Of the suit Al this enter
tainment there was considerable talk
upon tho subject Of the Capital, and among
those who were listened to with special
interest was the Hon. Charles James
Faulkner, Of Martinsburg, who was one
Of the Gas COmpany's counsel against the
city. Mr.. Faulkner expressed the Opin'
ion that his people are quite we'll salts
fed with tho location Of the Capital at
Wheeling, and thinks that no disposition
exists to make any change for years to
come. He himself feels that place Of
this size presents superior facilities for

are two many interests in city that arc
alive to every thing that is offered in a
legislative body to allow 1t to escape

tural interests OF the State are Of course
duly watched and guarded by the large
representation Of their interests among
the Members, and there Is therefore in a
city system Of checks and balances in
matters Of legislation thutis difficult To
end elsewhere.
As for Martinsburg, Mr.. Faulkner
says she is not at this time rival for the
location otthe Capital. Her people arc
we'll content that the Capital shall remain
at Wheeling for years to come She has
oil that she can take caro- offOr the pres
