WESTON, W. Va, August 6.-This place
has been the scene Of some lively police
diminishing during the past few days and
as a result several noted characters have
vanished. That portion Of the suburbs
known as atringtown, on Polk creek, has
for some time past been infested by a
crowd Of loose women by the name Of
Weiss and Abel. This establishment was
the resort ola number Of fellows about
town, some Of whom were married men.
On Saturday night last one Of the married
pallants who frequently visited the place,
stayed longer than usual and was confront
ed while promensding near the depot by
his much abused wife, who opened fire on
the party with volley Of very hot words,
supplemented by discharges from revol.
yer that were altogether in too close prox.
unity to be enjoyed. None Of the balls
took effect, owing to the darkness. How
ever, aver the melee had the result OF breaking
up the rendezvous, and Tuesday night the
party OF Eve women started for other guar,
ters accompanied BY the married brute.
Six or eight warrants have been issued and
Il e confidently expected that the whole
party will be brought to trial in day or
Another woman, by the name Of Julia
McGiunis, OF Gilmer county, was also ar

OF the Sable Iron Works firm this morning
in passing chat on the street in answer to
question regarding the progress OF steel
nail making. "Yes, We were successful in
making them, and it is only a question ol
time, few years at most, when steel nails

where the weaker material has gone to the
wall under pressure from the stronger. Al
Wheeling there was great commotion
made some time ago about the manutac-
ture OF steel nails, and 1t looked as though
the enthusiasm would clean out iron nails
at swoop. The fact was, the mauufac-
turers there were tired oi paying the high
rate for pudding, hence their attention to
steel" ..

Special Correspondence Of he h.te1i1no1.
FAlnMoNT, August Tone Of the most
interesting cases ever tried in a Virginia
court is now on trial at Grafton. 1t is a
case Of vital importance to both miners and
mine operators. A similar case has never
been before the State courts, and attorneys
in the case say that no such case is to be
found in any Of the books. It will be re-
membered that on the eth OF March, 1880,
a terrific explosion Of carburetted hydrogen
gas occurred in the mines of the CASTOR
Gas Coal Company's mines, as result Of
which James Work and James Reese, two
miners, were killed and Charles Bsrns, who
is plaintiff in the present case, was seri-
ously wounded. The explosion occurred
about u o'clock. A brief review OF the
accident will be useful in order TO the un.
derstanding. of the case.
