Grant and Belknap.

Sunday Times. Philadelphia.
When Grant was president he had a sec
retary of war named Bclknap, who re-
quired those receiving appointments as
traders or suffers at military posts to pay
him thousands of dollars for the privilege,
which money he pocketed, and spent it
in extravagant living, his wife being the
most richly dressed woman i'll Wash
ington. In time, this rascality was dis
covered, and Belknap instantly resigned
his position to escape prosecution, and the
penitcntiary. He was impeachcd by Con-
grcss, but never tried before a criminal
court. This man Belknap has been fol-
lowing Grant up, and last week, accord
ing to the daily papers, was admitted to
Grants presence, and the two had pleas
ant chat together for some time. A man
is judged by the company he keeps, and if
Grant chose to receive this self-contessed
thief in this free and easy way, it only
shows that his ideas of propriety are not
up to as high a standard as usually pre-
walls in this locality among honest and
honorable men. He should have refused
to countenance this man in any way

Railroad.
1t is authoritatively stated that the pro-
ject for building feeder TO the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad from MoOretield, w.
Va, to Green Spring run, has not fallen
through, as rumored, but is under consid-
Grafton. The Cambria iron company, of
Johnstown, Pa, and the Edgar Thomson
steel works, of Pittsburgh, Pa, who it is
said, have the option on the most import
ant tracts of Hardy county ore lands, take
deep interest in the scheme, and will aid
the Baltimore and Ohio company in max
ing the road, the building of which is,
however, contingent on the development
of iron ore resources of the Moorefield
region. Experts representing the iron
companies named will visit Moorefield
next Thursday to make an examination
Their report will be had before further
action is taken.

A Fight for Lumber.

There was small pile of lumber
lying near the Quinn BOOSTING works
which was not destroyed by the fire.
This lumber had, been attached by
Michael Fallon, and was. sold on
Thursday by Constable Hill. Fallon
bidding it in. After the sale there
was dispute about the payment of
costs, and the Constable ordered the
removal Of the lumber, which had
been commenced, to be discontinued.
This order received no attention
from Michael and John Fallou, who
kept on loading wagon regardless
of the presence of the strong arm of
the law and duly appointed and
we'll qualified deputy. The Fallons
would slide board onto the wagon
aud Constable Hill would phil it of,
each party making use of vigorous
language concerning the rights and
duties of the other; the depty in
the meantime standing off under in.
structions and watching for tair play.
The Constable flourlshed his cane in
violent manner, but this failing to
awe his opponents, and finding that
two men could load lumber faster
than he could unload it, finally con-
Guided to withdraw from the contest
and invoke the assistance of the Sher-
if. During his absence the disputed
property was hauled away, but
charges were preferred against the
claimants, and the hearing will be
had to-day. z

Almost a Fire.

On Monday night about $50
O'Clock Dayton came nearly having
a contlagration. Some teamsters had
left a candle burning in Geo. Ran
dalrs stable, which communicated
TO the boards ON the side Of the bull
ding. Jack Godfrey noticed the fire
just as it began to show itself, aud
raised an alarm which seemed to
have been prepared for occasions
like the Chicago disaster. This
brought Russell Millsap to the rescne,
who rushed in aud smothered the
flames with bundle of old clothes.
Had it not been discovered and ex-
tingulsed when it was, very serious
conflagration would have resulted.

MASON VALLEY LETTER.
" Hap Hazard" Tells Of the Frost,
Fatal Accident. and the Gen.
eral Gossip Of the Valley.
MASON VALLEY, Sept, 1, 1880.

MASON VALLEY, Sept, l., 1880.
EDITOR TINES: Last week our
Valley contained many fiourishing
gardens which were the pride Of their
respective owners; but on Sunday
night that whitening destroyer,
"Jask Frost" visited US, and left be-
hind him ample proof of his having
been here. On all sides can be seen
acres of blackened potato vines, mel
on, cucumber, tomato and squash
patches and crisp corn fields. Mel
Ions, tomatos and corn were not yet
fully grown, and are hopelessly lost.
We are not even allowed the meagre
consolation it would have been had
tie mosquitoes been frozen to death,
as they still abound in undiminished
and blood-thirsty legions. The
weather since the frost has been quite
warm and pleasant.
A short time since Mr.. Hines had
the misfortune to lose about 100 tons
of alfalfa hay by fire. 1t is not known
how the fire originated, but Mr..
Kinds thinks that some nen who
slept on the hay must have dropped
some matches near it and that the
horses stepped on the matches and
thus lighted the whole stack. The
fire was almost Immediately discov-
cred, but as the hay burned like so
much finder, it was impossible to
extinguish 1t.
Last week as Mr.. Meager was re.
turning home from the Switch, his
horse threw and rolled over him, in
juring him SO severely that he died
on Saturday afternoon. Deceased
wus an aged man, without family.

A. L. Greeley, of Aurora, is again
in the Valley. He is looking much
better in health than when he was
last here. His trip through Cali
fornia evidently did him much good.

An Agreeable Surprise.

On Thursday Mr.. Weller of Como
MIL celebrity while looking at the
Eureka waste dump saw acme rock
hitherto considered valueless which
he thought might contain enough
prescious metal to pay for working
He took some and had 1t tested in
his mill and the result was S47 per
ton. This is an agreeable surprise, as
Harry Symons the superintendent
of the Eureka estimates that if there
was no mistake in the figures, IT. ere
is enough Of this rock in sight to
run the mill for six months.
