Editors Inteliisoneer:
One Of the headings Of the West Fair
mont mines cayed in some days ago,
causing several men to lose employment
for short.time. Work will be resumed
in a few days.
There has been quite an exodus of coal
miners from this place in the last few
weeks; the men obtaining work at more
than double their wages here, at Woods
Run, Washington County, Pa. The en-
ployers and operators here are not to
blame as the rates of transportation are SO
high that better wages cannot be paid.
jackson Eagel, q rather notorious indi-
yidual was arrested on Wednesday Of this
week on charge Of having in his posses
sion spurious coin. Deputy Marshal Hag-
gerty made the arrest and conveyed him
before United States Commissioner Stag
gers, who committed him TO jail in default
OF bail. This Is the third arrest for coun-
terfeiting in this county within month,
we are informed by Mr.. Haggerty.
Lawyer John w. Mccoy had q quarter
of beef abstracted from his cellar here last
week. Wonder 1.-THE lawyer wouldn't rob
the Penitenitiary for a reasonable feed2
Hon. James Morrow, Of this place, will
shortly deliver a course Of lectures here
for the benefit OF the Reading Room.
These lectures will be well patroni2ed, as
the gentleman named is a fine speaker and
writer.
Politics are gradually becoming warm.
The Republican element is heartily in ac-
cord with the course OF the INTRLLIaEScER
in opposition to Grant for third term.
Grant would not be supported by many
who are good Republicans. Your cores
pondent is personally for Roscoe Conk-
ling. but comedies that decided majority
OF the Republican leaders, as well as the
rank and file OF the party are for Blaine.
Sherman has some friends, but the
"plumed knight" is the great fayorite.
State politics Is awakening no little in
terest. DR.. Thomas III. Logan would get
lively support for Governor. Sturgiss,
OF Morgantown, Gen. Golf and Others
have active friends.
For Congress, in this district, W. II. Fl.
Flick, OF Martinsburg, is understood to be
a candidate. Mason, OF Taylor, Hagans,
OF Monongalia,' George r. Latham, OF Up
shur, and numerous others are mentioned.
Mason, it Is understood, don't want to
run. As for the others, we suppose Flick
would run best now. He is at least a 70.
vorite out in Marion:
In the County, James II. Furbee, the
present Representative, is about the only
Republican who is spoken Of for the
Senate from this District. He is good
man, tireless worker, and will make the
party strong nominee,
For Sheriff, it is pretty generally under
stood that Capt. A. N. Prichard will be
put forward by the party. II he does II
will be something unusual II he Is not
elected.
For States Attorney, Thomas H. Stag
gers will undoubtedly be rendered the
nomination. He is a young man Of sound
attainments, and has much notoriety for
being superior orator. He is more than
match for any one likely TO oppose him
on the stump, and Is the kind Of man the
people of this county need for States
attorney.
For House OF Delegates, Capt. Andrew
]. Stone, Thos. w. Fleming, A. n. Prich-
ard, Ben. F. Charlton; Hugh R. Linn. Mr..
Powell, editor OF the Pirginian, Stewart
HelmiCk and Others, are mentioned.
Who the nominees for most OF the
county offices will be of course can not be
ioretold. The nomination OF part Of this
ticket Is q foregone conclusion, the men
being among our best and most respected
citizens. Such a ticket would be hard 70
beat The Republicans seem determined
to act harmoniously in the matter, and will
put their best foot foremost. When the
campaign opens look out for good report
from old Marion.
The crop prospects are excellent, the
acreage Of wheat being very large.
