interested audience, The TESTIMONIES giyei

est and decisive character, showing
what work has been done by the
association for railroad men ,and
how much safer were the travelling public
as the result OF this work. During the
sessions Of the conference well prepared
and thoughtful papers were read OH the
following topics: "Bible Claim" "Per'
sonel WORK" "The Relations Between the
Associations aud the Community" "The
Work Of the Railroad Branch, and the Religu
ions and Secular Work OF the Associations. u
These papers brought out discussion OF

MARrlNsBURo, W. Va; July 2S.-DEAI
SIR Your proposition in to.day's paper, iol
meeting Of Republicans to decide upon
proper and harmonious course to be per
sued in the coming State election, is GER
taiuly wisely made and timely, too. The
INrELLIdEScER came too late for US to ex-
press our humble but hearty support Of the
suggestion in this weeks issue OF the
Herald; we, therefore, hesitate not to con-
vey our heartiest approval. We are ap-
preaching political contest in this State
in which we will have everything in our
favor.
The interest OF the taxpayers has never
been more aroused than at this time. They
have long looked in vain for that relief 80
surely promised them by q faithless party.
Instead OF relief they feel the oppression
increase atevery Legislative and Executive
action, and, in consequence, are determined
upon change oil power, hoping Tor the
better, knowing that worse cannot possibly
beiall them. They see their public institu-
tions involved in suspicion and contempt
at home and abroad. They know that their
own prosperity and The development
and advancement OF this promising
State are lessened and ilnpeded by
the want OF progressive ruling
spirit in all local and general government.
All they have nearest and dearest at heart
has been sacrificed in patient hope and
waiting, but the time Of iorbearance Is past,
and other means will be tried. All the
great promises renewed Of the dominant
party are being taken for what they are
worth, for not more can be expected In the
future than has been performed in the past;
the object once accomplished-a new lease
pawer granted-and all the promises will
be forgotten in the eagernoss Of their
struggle for self.enrichment and the attain:
ment OF selfish individual ends.
The Democratic leaders are wide.awake
and working; and 1t is duty the Repub.
licans owe to themselves, and to the party,
to do the same. With the least effort more
John W. Mason's could have been given
1000 majority. We can think OF nothing
more advantageous to success than such q
meeting as YOU propose. Not unire'
uuently are we at loes TO know what
course TO adopt in certain matters OF public
intercst, but with the guidance OF such an
expression Of Republican sentiment il
would not be so difficult to decide upon the
wiser and more generally approved policy.
Permit US, then. in ali respect and deier'
ence, to suggest Martinsburg as the place
OF meeting, and September or October is q
very suitable time. We feel sure our peo.
Pile, irrespective Of politics, will welcome
so important an assembly. This end ol
the State 10 not in the rear OF advancement
and improvement Martinsburg itself if
pushing forward, and will be proud to show
and make known to the rest OF The State itf
claims to share in the honors OF "the
State OF the iuture"-West Virginia.

WHAT HOADLY PAID

COLUMBUS, O., July 2S-Major s. W.
Carpenter, former captain in the Fourth
Ohio Infantry, who heard Judge Hoadly's
conversation in the dining room of the
Neil House couple Of days since, main
tains that he did hear Judge Hoadly say
that the thing had already cost him so
much that he must begin to draw in.
Major Carpenter was known to the
ways borne the reputation OF being up
right In all his dealings. He was gallant
officer during the war. Last night he re-
peated the whole affair, which was as fol-
lows: :" | arrived here Tuesday morning
from Logansport, where live, and about 0
O'Clock entered the dining hall and was
given seat where there were three gentle-
men. Soon after l went in one Of the gem
tlemen left the dining-room, leaving, as I
now learn, Judge Hoadly, Gill Barger and
myself. paid little or no attention to the
conversation until one Of the gentle
men became somewhat vigorous in
his language which attracted my
attention. The conversation was be.
ing carried on at high key, and I
could not help hearing what was said. Il
was relative 10 the campaign. Bargar
spoke in an undertone, but not 80 Judge
Hoadly. He said substantially: "My
nomination here by the convention cost
me-thousand dollars, and have been
bled ever sincs got the nomination, ,::and
hardly know how much the thing has cost
me up to date did not catch the word
before thousands, and could not state
what the figure was. or course such con.
versation struck me little singular, and I
glanced mp, and my suspicious were at
once aroused. had never seen Judge
Hoadly in my lie, but had seen newspa-
per cut Of him, and concluded he must be
the Democratic candidate for Governor OF
Ohio. As soon as glanced Up Mr.. Hoad-
ly saw that l had been attracted by the
conversation, and he Immediately changed
the topic Of his conversation. Dir
rectly after this Judge Hoadly and Mr.. Bar
gar, having finished their breakfast, retired
from the room. A gentleman sitting at an
other table came to me and inquired II I
knew who that man was that had been
talking so loud. / replied that had never
seen him before, but suspected 1t was Judge
Hoadly. He stated that he had heard the
conversation and thought 1t was most re-
markable."
at is claimed by Hoadly that he made
no such talk with his mouth and that Gill
Bargar says he didn't"

LONDON, July 2s.-The town Of Casamic-

The number Of people killed is not known.
RoHE, July 29.-The Minister OF Public
Works has gone to Casamicciola to arrar ge

half past nine o'clock last night. At that
hour majority Of the people Of the upper
classes were at the theatre. Nearly all Of
the houses in the town collapsed. Itises
mated that one thousand persons were
killed and eight hundred injured. Anum-
Der OF steamers have been brought into
service TO carry the injured to Naples. The
impression produced by the disaster is in-

to good families.

LONDON, July 2S.-It is impossible to

the latest accounts the number was esti-

Piccala sentinella sank into the earth and
buried many Of its inmates. Ssme OF the
inhabitants Of the town escaped to the sea
at the first shock, and made their way to
Naples with the news Of the calamity. The
center Of the area Of the shock was the same
as that two years ago, but the
radius was wider. The shock was
felt at sea, and according to some
accounts even at Naples. A gentleman

sented to the Executive that as a
result oil the obstinate attitude assumed. by
the Western Union and Baltimore and
Ohio Telegraph Companies in the matter
pending practical suspension Of telegraphic
communication very Important interests
OF The Government are lsopardized. 1t Is
alleged by this assembly that the tele.
graphic correspondence OF the State, War,
Navy, Interior, Treasury and Postotflce
Departments has for ten days past been
subjected to delay and garbling, growing
out Of the inability OF the corporations
above mentioned TO handle dispatches
to the National Government.
II Is further alleged by this Assembly
that the necessary facilities for the prompt
aud intelligent transmisslon OF the reports
and bulletins OF the Signal Service bureau
oil the War Department are withheld by
the Western Union Telegraph Company.
By such withholding Of facilities II Is be-
lieved by this Assembly that the agri-
cultural and mercantile industries are at
present badly hampered and their future
seriously threatened. All this, It Is
represented, Is in direct violation Of
the United States statutes. Cholera
and yellow fever threaten US, and
In such lunCture the sanitary arm Of the
Government should we believe, be
strengthened, not paralyzed. That prompt,
accurate and cheerful support In the mat.

tant points, is absolutely essential to

passes without argument, We hope, and
