the Star Route
Cases

"Unless Mr.. John A. Walsh is a
perjurer and forger" remarks the Bos-
ton Herald, "There has been quite as
much crookedness in the manage
ment of the Star Route prosecutions
as there was in the swindling con-
tracts
And that is what might be termed
a self-evident truth. Mr.. Walsh says
plainly that Gen. Brady demanded
20 per cent. per annum during the
contract time for all the increased
pay allowed on an expedited" con-
tract which came into his (Walsh's J
possession and a further assessment
of $4,000 to Congressional corrup-
ton fund.
The correspondence which he has
furnished for publication also shows
that Senator Kellogg had very ques-
tionable dealings with the contract
or's ring, and made repeated requests
upon Walsh for the payment of drafts
given on 'expedited'' contracts.
Mr.. Walsh may be "a triple plated
liar" the Herald suggests, but his
story bears internal evidence of sub
stantial accuracy, and is supported
by documentary evidence which
Messrs. Brady, Kellogg and Dorsey
will find it difficult to dispose of by
branding the witness with hard
names.
If he gave, as he says, the same
evidence before the Grand Jury, it is
easy to believe Mr.. Bliss statement
that, if he had been a member of that
body he would have felt compelled to
vote for an indictment. The Judges
manifestation of surprise when the
foreman announced that no new bill
had been found is likewise explained
by these revelations.
There will be no special manifesto
ton of surprise, however, on the part
of the public, when the utter failure
of these trials is announced.--Regis-

The chesapeake and Ohio h. R.

This important West Virgini,
highway is attracting much attention
in railroad circles. 1t seems tina
the line as it now stands, heightened
and in every way increased in impor
lance, is attracting the attention o
financiers, spectators and investors
We have watched the development
of this great property for long tiln'
past with much interest, not only
because it is largely West yirginis
line, but because it promises to be
come very important national high
way-one of the great trunk lines o.
the country. Only few days age
the sailing of a large steamship from
Newport News, at the mouth of the
James river, for Brazil, laden with
10000 barrels Of -four, made at the
Richmond mills out of this years
southern grown wheat, was noted in
our columns. This steamer is only
one of line that is to connect the
eastern terminus of the Chesapeake
& Ohio with the port of Rio Janeiro
the emporium of Brazil. There is
also to be regular European line,
and also coast lines connecting with
New York and Boston. Newport
News is $50 miles nearer to the ocean
than Baltimore, IS miles nearer than
Philadelphia, and Is nearer than
New York. It's roadstead and harbor
are sheltered and safe for all classes
of vessels in all conditions Of wind
and weather Hampton Roads, in
point of fact, has been for years the
favorite refuge and rendezvous for
incoming vessels seeking harbor or
consigned to await orders for loading
at the various Atlantic ports, and
there is probably no other one spot
on the coast in sight of which so
large and numerous fleets of ocean
tonnage can be found within a given
time. Between the open sea and
Newport News there has never been
any obstruction from ice within the
memory of man, no dangerous rocks
or shoals, and vessels of all kinds,
from the smallest coaster to the
largest steam ship, coming in from
the open sea can disdain the services
of tow-boat or pilot at all seasons of
the year by day or night, species of
independence which as vessel cap
tain has grimly remarked, they can
not afford to indulge in at any other
port.
This is the ocean terminus of the
c. q O. railroad. In the west it no
longer terminates at Huntington in
this State, although that fourishing
town will still be an important point
on its line: but it's real termini are
at Cincinnati, Louisville and Mem
phis, at which points it has formed
advantageous connections with all
parts Of the west and southwest. 1t
will thus be seen that what has been
largely heretofore local line through
Virginia and West Virginia is des-
tined to become soon one of the
greatest thoroughfares of the country.

There is one editor who has achiev-
ed the feat drumming newspaper to
suit everybody. Occasionally, to be
sure, he has complaints, but he never
fails to satisfy the complainers that
they are in the wrong. 1t wasn't OIL
ways so with him. He only adopted
the system after he got desperate. 1t
was one day after he had received
seven complaints that he tried it. A
man came in and said: "Why in
tophet didn't you print the whole of
the proceedings fthe Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Hogs, in
stead of brief ABSTRACT The edi-
tor replied: cob, you made speech
that wasn't in the report, eh?' Then
I've went around the counter. The
dust flew for q few moments, and
then it became more quiet. The edi-
tor relaxed his grip on the mans
throat sufficiently to let him speak,
and he said that he guessed the arti-
Gle was all right, and he had only
come in to renew his subscription.
He was let up, paid the money, and
left, and as he went out be eolhded
with man who had an ugly glare in
his eyes, and dancing up to the edi-
tor, said: "What dye mean, sir: /
pay for a sensible newspaper, and
here / got lot of stuff about cruelty
to hogs. You ought to be put in Jail
for printing such rot" The editor
went around the counter again, and
again the dust flew, and cries Of "Take
your teeth from my carr ''Let go O
my hairp' ETC., were heard. 1t was
full five minutes before the editor
could get the mans coat torn off and
put him on the floor with his head in
the coal scuttlc. But he did it at last.
Then he jumped high in the air and
sat down upon the mans stomach,
and the yell the man gave echoiDg in
the coal-scuttle, sounded awful. The
editor was about to repeat the opera
tions, but the man said: we needn't
prolong this agony. Your paper is
the best in the world. 1t is all right.
III take it for ten years in advance,
Eight more visitors had the same ex-
perience. Then came one that the
editor couldn't thrash. 1t was wo-
man: "W'hat dye mean by publish
ing fashion articles from a three-y year
old magazineY' she asked. 81 made
a bonnet according to your directions
and it's three years behind the style.
Oh, you wretch you mean, horrid,
insignificant--oh-hr' "My dear
madam he said, "you are right.
I'm not fit to run a paper. I'll stop
at once" Go reporter. "John,
don't send up any more copy. Kill
9hat article saying this lady was bell
of the ball last night" "Stopw she
cried. "Your paper is household
treasure Il don't care about the bon
net, and came to ask you to our house
to tea tonight" The editor says he
wouldn't drop the rule for anything.
Every. body leaves satisfied with his
paper-Boston Post.

The Monongahela Navigation Com
pany has issued 100000 worth of
five per cent. bonds in denominations
of $1,000, to run not over twenty
years, and redeemable to the extent
of 100000 year, after five years,
at the option of the Company. This
was done to raise funds with which
to build Lock and Dam No. 7, and
to put in new locks at Dams Nos. 3
and A. The bonds are dated July
1st, 1882. To protect the bondhold-
ers the company have mortgaeed all
their property in Allegheny, Wash
ington, Westmoreland, Fayette and
Greene counties, to Felix r. Brunot,
trustee for the bondholders. Should
the Company default on the interest
of the bonds for three months, the
stockholders can foreclose the mort
gage. This is q second mortgage,
there being $4,000 worth of old
bonds of the company outstanding.
These old bonds were issued July 1st,
1852, and are due the same date,
1887. The new mortgage has been
recorded in all the counties named
above except Fapette and Greene,
and is now in the hands of Recorder
Conner for record here. 1t covers
fourteen pages closely written, and
Charley will have long siege at
transferring them To the books of this
county. Genius.

SEWING MACHINEs.--The house
hold sewing machine, introduced and
sold in this county by N. S. Steele is
now so popular that agents for other
machines find it necessary to keep
one in stock to draw custom and sat
isfy the demand of the people to see
this most excellent machine. We are
glad to see it attracting so much at
tention, for we know the people will
appreciate good thing when they
see it and we would advise all who
contemplate purchasing a new ma
chine to try the household before
buying any other.
