Brave RpffY Zane.

Wheeling Special: Living in the city
of Wheeling at the present time are many
descendants of the defenders Of Fort
Henry, and many of them are taking an
active part in celebrating the centen-
NAL anniversary of that historic event.
Saturday promises TO be a gala day.
Ample preparations have been made for
the celebration on the grounds of the
West Virginia State Fair association.
The programme will consist of orations,
tableaux, exhibition of relics and cos
tunes of the early settlers, and a log
cabin erected it commemoration OF the
Fort Henry tradition. The cabin is
built substantially of logs, chunked with
split sticks, and adorned with coon skins,
possum hides, muskrat and grounding
pelts, hides from wolves. bears and
p%anthers, with a plentiful intermingling
of squirrel skins. A skin of veneer
able appearance is hung neal the front
entrance to the cabin, while around it
suspend guns and other warlike imple-
ments of primitive construction. With
in the cabin are some of the parapher-
MALTA that decorated old Fort Henry and
cabins of early settlers, among which
are the crane that hung in the wide
open fireplace before which Col. Zane
toasted his famous shins; the cradle in
which was rocked Betty Zane, the her
oine of the siege;a portrait of Philip
Doddridge and Mrs. Cruger; an auto
graph letter of Light Horse Harry Lee;
an almanac printed in 1777; a copy of
the Declaration of Independence; a
scalp-lock cut from a Custer massacre
Indian. and arrows and spear points in
Vulnerable. There is also a very fine
collection of old and valuable coins,
some of them being Roman. Greek, As
syrian and Egyptian specimens of great
antiquity and value.
The heroism of the young girl Betty
Zane at the siege OF Fort Henry gives a
peculiar interest to this celebration. 1t
will be remembered that the settlers at
Wheeling were attacked by Indians and
took refuge in Fort Henry They made
a gallant defense and succeeded in keep
ing the redskins at baj until the powder
OF the garrison was exhausted. With
out powder all would be lost. There
was some in a log cabin a short distance
from the fort, but who would dare to at
tempt to get IT in the face Of a deadly
fire from the savages? Betty Zane
volunteered to go upon the perilous err
rand. Like an arrow she shot out from
the fort, so astonishing the Indians by
her daring that they stood m~otionless
and she reached the cabin in safety.
Quietly filling her apron with powder
she returned to the fort amid a shower
of arrows unframed, and the settlers
were saved.

A terrible tragedy was enacted yester-

Made his last Move.

The contest in the Third congressional
district which is now attracting the at
tcntion of the state press, is nothing
more than could have been expected.
KeYes, the chronic oflice-seeker, pesti-
ferrous demagogue and political place
hunter, who has in the last ten years
been a candidate for every Office from
postmaster up to United Safes Senator
and member of the cabinet, now has.
we believe made his last move and is
only waiting till the 9TH of November,
when the people Of the Third district
will arise in their might and forever
clear their skirts from the contanIi-
mating influence of this political outcast.
Some men will tell YOU that keyes will
make a good run for the reason that the

failed to secure, and at the same time
the Madison journal was doing its ut

Of his desires. So long as the Boss =
was content TO lie in the bottom of the
Republican wagon he got along all
right, but since he has ATTEMPTED to
climb up into the seat. and endeavor to

he has been a complete failure. Boss

for its severity in the history of the is

whole ornate pcdiment composed Of
heavy blocks of masonry, fell through
the roof. The damage to the side aisles
will amount 10 at least 500, 900. The
number of private houses. damaged *
very large. No accurate estimate of

The Question 10 Settle.

The question in the matter seems to
be: What was the right thing as to
those La Fayette delegates ? If the
Reyes delegates were fairly chosen, then
Stickney was basely wrong in voting 10
traitor to his constituents. But although
Stickney was chosen and instructed 10
vote for Reyes, he was not bound to aid
in defeating the wishes Of the Lafayette
districts by voting to give seats to dele
gates not fairly elected from those dis
tricts.- P9rinQc Reaislcr.
