Political Notes.

Sunset Cox cracked a Joke about
the ashes of Gehenna in the House
yesterday. Perhaps he thinks
there's no such place.
The Des Mcines (Iowa) Leader, ,
"a Democratic paper, says that it is
an open secret in that city that
negotiations are actively proceed
ing to unite the Greenback party
and PrOhibitiOnists of that state
into one organization, and that
the program is to run Gen. Weav-
er for governor on the combiEa-
ton ticket. This, the Leader
thinks, would make formidable
third party, which ought to COM
mand 10000 votes.
Mr.. Edward A. Mcpherson says
that the tariff question, involving
great property interests, is coming
forward strongly for the next
presidential election.
The Kansas legislature has bill
before it providing that he ques-
ton of woman suffrage be submit
ted to the vote of the women
themselves at the next election.

South OpequOn.

and a person can 20 out Without
the danger Of the ice flying up and
leaving its mark
Many farmers OF this section are
fearful that the growing wheat has
been seriously injured by the long
continued ice being upon it. But
at last the ice has gone, and the
wheattields have pat on beautiful
green appearance
The schoo. a. Three Runs, un-
der the tutorship Of Miss Florence
Carney, has fully regained its Tor
mer popularity. The attendance
is very large and the pupils are
progressing finely. 1t can now,
as of old, be considered the model
school of Berkeley county. When
children over the age of twenty
one years come from another dis
trict to attend school az Three
Runs, it looks like they mean
business.
VIM. M. Boltz intends To leave
this section this spring TO seek his
fortune in the far west. We wish
him success.
We had a very pleasant call a
few evenings since from the Three
Runs String Band, under the
leadership Of Prof. Wright, Lewis
d Co. They are good set of mu-
sicians, and can discourse some
excellent music.
The INDEPENDENT is consider
ed by the people Of this section,
by far the most popular newspa-
per published in this county.

Death Of Ii. TOwner Leech.

The many friends of DR.. B. Tow
ner Leech will be panied to learn of
his decease, at the residence of his
father, Rev. S. V. Leech, Albany,
N. Y, at 2 O'Clock, Wednesday, Jan.
23rd. When boy he resided in our
city for several years, during the
term of his father as pastor of the
M. r. Church. After graduation at
the Medical College at Baltimore,
with DIR. Rusk as special preceptor,
he returned to Martinsburg, about
two years ago,and opening an office,
soon entered into promising prac-
tice. He gave indications of special
talent and great industry as physi
clan, and made many friends. He
inherited frail constitution from
his mother, who died also of pulmo-
nary disease in this city. At the
end of the first year, DR.. L. began to
give indications of failure under the
labors OF an exposing county prac.
tice. AT the beginning of the last
summer, he left to seek rest and re-
cuperation. 1t was in vain. His
health, little by little, failed, until
the end came, as above stated.
For months he had been anticipa-
ting departure from earth and had
been making diligent preparation.
Great peace and rapturous anticipa-
tion of life in heaven were mani
tested by him.
AT LAO O'Clock, p. m. on Tuesday,
his brother Samuel arrived from
College. AT 2 O'Clock the young man
said ''let me get in my chair once
more ~ He had scarce been placed
III it when heavy hemorrhage be-
gan. Presently he placed his left
finger on his right pulse, held it there
a minute and said This is the
end ! Precious Jesus! Father, L am
smothering, "-he laid. his head back
on his brothers arm, smiled and was
at rest.
1t is sad to see 50 promising a
career brought to such early closing,
but most cheering to know that it is
but change 10 more glorious life
eternal. He was about n years old.
The funeral services were held at
Albany. l..

HON. JOHN BLAIR HOGE.

A strong effort is being made by
the leading members of the Sen
ate and House, without regard to
party, to have Hon. j. B. Hoge
appointed as the Democratic mem
Der of the Civil Service Reform
Commission. In referring to the
fact, the Baltimore Americaaa
says a petition to the President
asking the appointment of Judge
Hoge has been largely signed by
the Democratic Senators" and
adds:
"This is another instance of the
ignorance of the laws on the part
Of people who want to draw sala
ries under it, and in this case on
the part also of people who helped
to pass it. Section 10 of the act
says that mo recommendation of
any person who shall apply for of
fee or place under the provisions
of this act, which may be given by
any Senator or member of the
House of Representatives, except
as to the character or residence of
the applicant, shall be received or
considered by any person cocern-
ed in making any examination or
appointment upper the act. Mr.
Hoge is Congressman, who will
be out of a situation on March 4,
and naturally wants another. But
it will be a matter of surprise if
the President appoints any man
who applies for the place. "
We would like to know if the
section quoted above does not APP
ply to those making application to
the commissioners for office and
not to the commissioners them
selves. Judge Hoge's appoint
ment would give general satisfac-
ton in this State, and probably as
much SO throughout the country
as any that could be made.

SMALL POX.

There have been no additional
cases of small pox reported since
our last issue. One of the cases
then reported, small child, has
since died, SO that now there is
but one case in the city, and he is
doing as well ascould be expected.
The utmost care is taken by the
authorities to keep it from spread.

ceeded beyond expectation.
A thorough system of vaccina-
tion-the surest preventive-has
been ordered and is being right

WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY.

It is stated in the Wheeling
hatelligemcer that the students of
the West Virginia University have
dwindled down to 20, the lowest
number, certainly for many years.
If this be true, how is such loss
of patronage to be explained
The appropriation of $4,000 or
$4,000 every year from our hard
earned taxes, to provide the means
of educating seventy boys, who
pay for their own board and cloth
ing, looks rather farcial. Our del
egates, we hope, will look into this
subject. We fear the University
has been run too much as a politi-
cal machine, and the consequences
of such partizanship are beginning
to show themselves.

Gustave Dore, the famous

loss to French art equaling the
loss inflicted on French politics
by the death of Gambetta. He
was not only the most prolific
draughtsman, but his pictures

OF any of ancient or modern times.
There is considerable increase
in the number of cases of small

The residents of the mining
town of Wilkesbarre, Pa, were
thrown into the greatest excite
ment, on Tuesday night of last
week, by several loud reports and
a shock similar to that of an earth
quake. Despite the cold, hundreds
deserted their homes and sought
refuge in the streets, in many in
stances people being but partially
dressed. During the entire night
the greatest anxiety prevailed, and
much suffering resulted from ex-
posture. An investigation showed
that a number of cracks had been
made in the earth, extending over
forty acres, and including large
portion of the city. Many build
ings were shattered, and q num-
Der were almost entirely destroy
ed. The cause of the disaster is
thought to be the giving away of
a number of the props put in some
time ago in an old mine beneath
the injured section.

ARADICAL SCHEME DEFEATED.

AS the close OF the term Of tho present
Congress approaches, and the time draws
near for the beginning of the 4sth Congress,
in which the Democrats win have ma
jority in the House, the Republicans begin
scheming to retain power by the admission
of new States. On the 5th, a bill was intro
duced in the House to divide Dakota into
two States.
Seemingly. says u Washington correspon-
dent, this was as innocent as specious; but
the Democrats. knowing the real object of
the Republicans was to bring in Dakota as
State, were on the alert. Mr.. Randall
warned the Democrats to resist it, and
there was an exciting scene for moment,
growing out of a misunderstanding be-
tween him and Mr.. Burrows.
The game ofthe Repu b1icans was to pass
a bill providing for two Territories, and
have it amended in the Senate so as to ad-
nit North Dakota and then have the House
concur In this conniving way all parlia-
mentary difficulties would be obviated and
the Republicans would get in new rotten
borough to maintain their ascendency.
On the proposition there were Isl ayes
and ITO noes, and as it required two-thirds
to suspend the rules and pass the bill, tho
motion was lost.
