Hale-Has anything been said this
morning to indicate any charge Of
that kind2
Wood-The gentleman has just
spoken of delay, and has intimated
that there is All intentional opposition
on the psrt Of The house to delay .ac-
ton. | can assure the gentleman
there is no such intention. While we
are ready, in good faith, to carry out
in all respects the electoral eommis-
sion law, and the result that may be
reached in pursuance Of it, still we
demand the right OF free expression
of opinion.
Banks said that under the previ-
sions Of the electoral act the house
WAS compelled to give an affirmative
or negative vote upon the decision.
1t would not be respectful to the
commission to reward the decision.
The speaker overruled Hale's point
but sustained Wilson's that there was
nothing in the electoral commission
law that authorized q recommittal of
the question back to the commission;
also ruling that it was not competent
for one house TO refer bill or any
other matter 10 an outside commits
sion. The substitute offered by Knott
was therefore not in order.
The house thereupon proceeded to
discuss their objections to the deci-r
sion Of the commission.
Knott contested the point OF order,
thought there was nothing in the law
which prevented the house, with the
concurrence of the senate from re-
manding back to the electoral COM
mission, for their further consideration.
The decision which it had made in
the Florida case, in order that it
might nave An opportunity to explain
the glaring. inconsistencies which cx.
listed in that decision.
Carr, democrat concluded the de-
bate, ~ follows:
Here then, ii, the. name Of the de,
mocracy of the whole country, | alb
solve that commission from all char
ges save i, may be that of an honest
mistake, and in the name Of the same
great power, ! denounce the majority
in this house as bein & responsible for
the wrong, and recrean,, ignorantly
or corrup,ly, recreant to tho conf
denee which has been imp osed in
them, and faithless to the trusts con-
hded in :hem. Applause.
The debate closed 1t l-l5 aud the
house proceeded to vote uponHale's
amendment, which was rejected, 81
to l67, and Fields resolution was
adopted.

Some Of your Durbannah readers
would like some change in the ticket
for town officers. We would suggest
James Wright for Supt. of the Gas
Works in the place Of Mr.. Hall.
Mr.. Hall has about 1000 acres of
land on Laurel Hill in this county,
and it takes all his spare time when
not 'bossing" the wagon making de
partment Of the buggy shop, in his
capacity Of real estate agent, survey
ing and selling out farms on Laurel
Hill. He with his partner Jessie j.
Fitch, have sold several farms this
spring to the mountain people, and
we ask you to chronicle this new
enterprise. 1t shows that the people
up there are trying to become indie
pendent and have homes.
We want Capt. Robert Domain for
Supt. Of Steamboats,, Docks and
Whayes. His place was part Of
Chancery Hill. but has since been
added to to the borough of Durham
nah, and it is hoped that he will
cause the not sweet smelling temple
Of Closiana extended over the boat
landing to be removed and have a
bath house, or sweet smelling arbor
erected in its stead.
Master Jessie Hall is Wharf Mas
ter and has charge of the boats at
this landing. WIDE AWAKE.

order, that win make things brisk in
Georgetown. We would like to know
the cause of such bad roads from Easton
to Morgmtown. The roads are worse
than any of our county roads. We think
it would be advisable to call upon some
road supervisor and his hands and have
them TO put the road in creditahle con-
dit!on, so that the superintendent can
make favorable report at the end of
the year.

a Sad Accident

IHREE GIRLS DROWNED.--OneOf the
saddest cases Of drowning which we
have been required to notice for a
long time occurred about four o'clock
last Sabbath afternoon, the mouth Of
Devol's run, about quarter of mile
below Devol' dam on the Muskingum
river, in Muskingum township, BY
which three girls, Tracy Scylc, Mary
Oesterle and Apalona Gardner, aged
respectively il, II and Is years lost
their lives. 1t appears that the three
young girls named had gone down the
run.a short distance from their homes,
in company with little girl four years
Of age, for the purpose Of bathing
The two girls, Seyle and Gardner,
had taken off their clothing first and
went into the water before Miss Oes-
terle was undressed.-The bottom
was composed Of sand and slippery
mud and they slipped into hole, and
Miss Oesterle seeing they were about
to drown rushed in, although partly
undressed, to save them. But instead
of succeeding in rescuing her play
mates, all three of them drowned to-
gether, leaving no one to tell the sad
tale but the little four year old child.
The little child Immediately gave
the alarm, and in about an hour after
the occurrence all three Of the bodies
were recovered. ParkerSburg Sen

RaiIRoad Meeting.

Kingwood had a railroad meeting
last Saturday to consider the proprie-
ty of building narrow gauge rail
road from Kingwood to some point
on the Baltimore d Ohio r. r. The
meeting was attended by the best
men of Kingwood and Preston Co.
Kingwood will no doubt put this en-
terplise through. Why cannot some
of our enterprising men make such a
move and agitate it until everybody
will see its necessity. 1t is alto geth-
er feasible and needs only some one
to lead the matter.
