and carried into effect the whole machin'
cry OF our rehabilitation as part Of the
body. polite, Here the means were
raised to pay the expenses of.instituting a
government amongst us and saving our
solves from anarchy, and here all the
agencies were put in motion that finally
resulted in the complete success OF u new
order OF things known then rs the "New
State"
In view OF this early and important re-
lation to the history Of the State it seems
natural that the Capital Of West Virginia
should again be located at Wheeling.
And especially does it seem fitting that
this should be the case in view Of the fact
that Wheeling has in the most muniiicent
manner taken upon herself the very im-
portant expense Of providing the State
with a Capitol building that will do
honor to her in the estimation Of
the whole country, This building is
now slowly rising upon its solid
foundations, and to-day its corner
stone will be laid with appropriate
ceremonies. We cherish the hope that
this splendid gift to the State will, in con-
nection with the historic associations to
which we have alluded, become such
matter Of pride to the people Of the whole
State Of West Virginia, that it will be
many day indeed before they win con-
sent to separate themselves from it in
quest of new location.

anything else than ceremony. Upon con.
Guiding Gerdermann placed himself un-

mob collected and continued In close

posse Of police remained outside. The
mob, numbering most a thousand, was a
dangerous one. Suddenly they rallied,
beat the officers out Of the way, captured
the car, broke In the door and commenced
an assault upon the ex.priest. lie was
protected, however, from serious injury
by the police, receiving only a few
bruises. Gerdermann escaped to rear

was brought to this city.
