Wc publish in another column n
notice from the C!arksburg e IVES
ton Railroad Company Of the OPP
cning Of the road to Weston 70:
business on the LIST day Of Sep:cm-
Der. This is gratifying news to
the people of Lewis and adjoining
counties; and it is also gratifying
to know that the road is one ofthc
best built and most substantial
narrow guagc roads in the country.
No pains has been spared in build
ingit TO make it 4 permanent, safe
and pleasant road, and We are as
Surcd that on the day it is opened
to Weston it will be in excellent
condition for business.
Mr.. Randolph, Chief Engineer,
under whose supervision the track
has been laid and the road COM
},leted, deserves much credit for
his skill and careful attention TO
details in making us good and
safe road. We must not omit our
acknowledgements, also, to our old
friend John l.yttlc, who has laid
the track with energy and skill
We will welcome linn on TO Wcs-
ton.
This is the first narrow guagc
road completed in our State, and is
an experiment which We hope will
prove successful, as much depends
upon tho success Of the road, in
regard TO similar Developments
through other sections Of the State.
If the road sustains itself iinanci-
allywe may soon expect connecting
roads through Upshur, Gilmcr and
Braxton, and n through limo to
Charleston, which will tend rapidly
TO the settling up and development
of this portion of the State.
We hope that tho merchants and
shippers in the adjoining counties
in buying their supplies will ship
them directly through to Weston.
We arc safe in assuring them they
will be handled to their entire sat.
isfaction.
Let us demonstrate that every
county can sustain u narrow guagc
road, by means Of tho increased de-
vclopmcnt and business produced
by opening up tho country
and useful cultivation.

McCutchc0n's about three O'Clock,
the company found Il sumptuous
dinner prepared, and the old gen.
tlcmun and his c5timablc wife like
Mrs. Byrd, showed plainly that
they too had spent their oarly days
in the Old Dominion, and had not
forgotten the good old way Of Ell
tcrtaining friends. After dinner
the company collected ut Walkers

A short Session of Council

The interest manifested in the meet
ing of Council to be held on Saturda,
afternoon at three o'clock, was so grea
that a large number Of spectators wert
present to see what was going to bt
done. The Democratic members came
in slowly and suspiciously to their
seats, looking anxious y at vacant seats
as if to See who were absent. Council
man knight still full of Fourth of July
patriotism took some pride in introduc-
ing his new colleague Mr.. Dorman to
the members. Some trouble was ex'
perienced in getting clerk, Mr.. Fra
zer being absent.
After Messrs. Guthrie, McGinchey,
Price and Adams had declined Mr.. Tay.
lor finally consented to act, and called
the roll of members, the result showing
that Messrs. Moore and Downing were
absent. The absence of Mr.. Moore from
the Democratic side of the house served
to excite his colleagues as if he had
been present the resignation of Mr..
Lynch could have been Immediately
accepted and his successor elected, pro-
vided Mr.. Downing did not suddenly
appear and block the game. President
Lichtenstein declared council open for
business, and if there was none to be
introduced motion to adjourn would
be in order.
Mr.. Knight looked at Lynch, and
Lynch looked and winked at Taylor,
and Taylor looked at McGlinchey, and
looks passed around to Messrs. Guthrie,
DR.. Walton, Townsend and Heusted,
and all of them looked towards the door,
but the missing Moore came not. Some
thing had to be done, and Knight pro.
posed recess of half an hour for con-
Norton, evidently not booked
up, was indignant of staying in session
If there was nothing to do, and besides
who knew but the wrong man, Downing
might drop in and then the mischief
would be to play over again.
Mr.. Norton moved an adjournment.
which was carried, Mr.. Knight voting
spiritedly against it, and Just about
the time that the members were leav-
ing the room in came the missing
Moore, but it was too late. The strug
gle will be continued this evening,
with the prospect of a longer session.

OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT.
A Young Merchant Asssaiteac In
HIS Own HOnse-The ktars and
Stripes Trampie0 Upon.

!, Henry Witsil keeps a cigar store OF
Maryland Avenue, near Front Street
He is a young man possessed Of very
fine social qualities and has very many
warm friends throughout the city. HI
molests no one, and pursues the even
tenor Of his way, endeavoring to earn
an honest livelihood for himself and
family. On Saturday evening he deco
rated the front of his house with num-
Der Of small American flags, in compli-
ment to the frenen's parade, which he
knew would pass his residence. Just
previous to the parade reaching his To-
cality young man named WIN. Harri-
gan came up to the front Of his house,
and one by one he tore down the flags
and threw them into the street, and
when demonstrated with he became
very violent, chased Mr.. Witsil into
the house, and swore he could whip
any Yankee in the street.
Mr.. w. picked up base ball bat,
and defended himself with II, not, how
ever striking Harrigsn with it, as he
had no desire to iujurs him. Finally
Harrigan was persuaded to leave the
store by friend who was in the imme-
diate neighborhood, when Mr.. W.closed
up his store. In short time thereaf.
ter Harrigan returned in company with
Thomas Russell, who kicked in the
door. The two then got Mr.. W. behind
the counter, and bruised him. consider
ably about the head and arm, one OF the
assailants striking him with tonic
bottle. They we're then by soms means
which We did not learn, got out Of the
store.
Shortly afterwards Russell returned
and kicked in the door, and again there
was another melee, which once more
was quelled. By this time policemen
had been sent for, and shortly after
wards four Of them arrived upon the
scene of the disturbance, which put an
and to any further demonstrations by
Harrigan and his pal Russell. Harri.
gan was arrested, and at the hearing
yesterday morning, be was fined 50 and
costs, which amounted to about $40. A
warrant has been issued for the arrest
of Russell, but we haven't yet learned
whether he has been apprehended.
That the two men were under the in
fluence of bad whiskey is no excuse for
the violent and outrageous assault they
made upon Mr.. Witsil and his proper
ty.
The tearing down of the American
flags, too, and trampling upon them, is
an offence that should have been more
severely punished than the mere fine of
$500 which was imposed. He should
have been taught, by few months i'm
prisonment, that he would not be al
lowed to insult our nations flag with
mpunity. Harrigan had previously
said that he had it in for Witsil, "
and took the TINS mentioned to vent his
'peen upon him.
