RAILROAD MEETING.

ARMSTRONG; Mills, Feb. %, 1915.
A meeting was held here to-day to
deliberate to the subject of the pro-
posed railway from McConnellsville to
the Ohio river. A good crowd was
present, including quite number of
Representative men from distant points
Isaac Weisser of Beallsville was elect
ed Chairman of the meeting, and A.
MISUNDERSTANDING, (the united avoIr-
dupois of these gentlemen is about 460
pOunds.) After becoming thus strongly
organized, Mr.. Atkinson of McCon-
nellsville was introduced to the meet
Iing;-in a pointed business manner he
explained the history, present status,
&C., Of the projected road, treating the
subject throughout as an actual GO
ahead business operation. He seems
to have good "faith even as a grain of
mustard seed, pa thing quite necessa-
ry in building railroad through a
mountainous country like this. To the
people from Armstrong; Mills to Bel
laire he says give US the assurance that
you will build your end of the road and
| it won't be long before we shall stand
on the summit of the dividing ridge
and look down upon this valley and
say We are ready to join with you.
Mr.. Sullivan of Bellaire, spoke next as
to the advantages of narrow-gauge
road over the common gauge, as to the
feasibility of the route, etc; he thinks
a narrow gauge road can be built from
here to Bellaire at cost of from twelve
to fifteen thousand dollars per mile,
while the common gauge would cost
forty or forty-five thousand dollars per
mile; he proposes an equitable assess
ment, averaging two dollars per acre
on the taxable valuation of the land
FIVE miles each side of the road; this he
thinks would furnish the country's por-
ton of the cost. VIM. NJ. Armstrong
made few remarks showing our wants
for facilities of transportion, and urging
on the people the necessity of respond
ing literally to the enterprise. A res.
olution favOring the enterprise was
adopted, and Wm.f M. Armstrong, A
H. Caldwell and T. A. Welsh were ap-
pointed committee to confer with the
committee at Bellaire OF the %
proxilno. W.

In these days of fraud, an honest
school examination is worthy of notice,
and we would speak of the closing of
the Lyle school on Friday last, Miss l..

were uniformly good, and there was no
evidence OF it being 'put-up' job for
the deception of parents and directors.
In addition to school recitations there
was nice music upon the Violin by Mr..
Gilbraith Gregory and Organ accompa-
niment by Miss Flora Grimes, also vocal
music by Misses Flora and Jennie
Grimes. Two of the sharpest, spiciest
little school papers We're read which
contained interesting contributions
from the scholars, and some of the
finest witicisms imaginable. To get up
anything of this kind without giving

THE bill to Protect Electors, which
passed the House of Representatives
on Saturday, simply provides that
"When felOnious combinations are
formed in any State to overthrow the
government thereof, or to interfere un'
lawfully and forcibly with the execu'
tion of the laws, and shall be so numer.
ous and powerful as to be able to set al
defiance and overthrow the State au.
thority, such combinations shall be
deemed rebellion against the United
States, and during the continuance oi
such rebellion it may be lawful for the
President to suspend the privilege ol
the writ of hd6eaS corpus within the
State affected thereby" ."r.gH rf aaH
What sensible man can object to this:
1t merely empowers the Chief Magis
trate of the nation to use eXtraordina'
ry power for the preservation of the in
tegrity of the Government when a JUS
tiiable emergency shall arise for its
use. .... ..... .....# ...

have been uttered upon the floor of this
House during the present Congress
than those that were uttered by the
gentleman from Connecticut (Mr.

told us that the West and South were
more interested in this policy of protec-

If you will examine the industries of
our country during the last twelve
years you will find that the manufac-
turing industries have not only doubled
but quadrupled in the West and South,
while in New England the increase is
comparatively small. Those industries
are in New England and Pennsylvania,

gagged in manufacturing in Ohio, Indi-

Ii will be noticed by reference to
our report of Ititrrnal Revenue collec-
tions, in this district, that the receipts
are largely Increased over those OF Feb
ruary of last year. This increase arises
mainly on cigars and spirits, and is at
tributable to the fears that dealers in
these staples, have, that the revenue
law which passed the House last week
and which increases the tax On both
cigars and whisky, will apply to cigars
already manufactured and not stamp
ed, and to whisky in bond. Owing to
the supposed effect of the new bill the
collections for the last two or three
days averaged $500 per day.

l-a8 Feb. IS, 1875. !
REV. r. ALEXANDER-Ded Bro
1 am a former resident of Belmont
county, and many of my kindred and
my wife's of the younger generation,
are there yet. i am now struggling
for our Master on the frontier of Kan
sas. By reason of, an affective vista
tion of Providence, our people in this
county are now suffering the most ap-
palling destitution. l am constrained
in this emergency to appeal to you,
and through y you, to the people of your
place for. a little help for our furnishing
|neighbors, here. Two thousand per-
lsons in this county are now dependent
upon charity for daily subsistence, and
many of these are in the most abject
want. Many of these families, too,
intelligent, cultivated. Christian fami-
lies, we'll worth saving from starva-
ton, and even worth cherishi1ag for
their OWN sakes as we'll as because they
belong to Christ. ,ya,.. ri ft,1 .,.f--- all
We have no soliciting agents out
from our county-have nothing to de-
pend on for the relief of onr people, but
|appeals such as this to our friends in
the East. The resources of the State
Committee at Topeka are now less
than $500 day for $4,000 sufferers.
Our own supplies as County Relief
Committee, will be totally gone in five
days from this time, and yet we have
more than 1000 souls looking to us for
bread. There is in this State of things
no other alternative but to beg for our
people or see them suffer. Our Treas
urer of Relief Committee, Major Thos.
IC. Thoburn, former resident of Bel
mont county, and who has heard you
preach, gives it as his unhesitating
opinion that if your people could see
the one hundredth part of the suffer-
ing we see every day, they would es-
TEEN it privilege to be allowed to re-
lieve it. We make our appeal in the
name of humanity, and beseech you
to make known the painful straits into
which we have come, to the good peo-
pie of your goodly city, and ask for
our famishing people on the prairies
some prompt and'generous relief. Oar
work of relief is thoroughly systema-
tized, and no one not worthy and not
needy can get aid. You will see by the
circular Iiendorse that we press cut of
eur lists of needy all who can possibly
get along without help. If we could
have contribution in money, barrel
of pork and a box Of clothing it will be
most timely and welcome relief. We
crave your sympathy and prayers, for
We are passing through the furnace Of
affiiction now. Yours in trial,
