Hs Wants West Virginia 90 Buy Up the
Deferred Certificates OF virginia aud
Call for q Settlement.
| telegraphed you day or two since the
project, which members OF the Virginia
legislature now here say our own Mason
has adopted, Of having West Virginia buy
up the fifteen millions Of deferred certid-
Gates, issued by the Old Stats as our por-
ton Of the debt for whatever sum it will
tske to purchase them, and then bring suit
against Virginia for an accounting. At the
present quotation Of these certificates the
whole of them could be picked up for
about million dollars, and having them
in her possession West Virginia could say
to Virginia, we have paid the third OF the
old State debt set apart 10 us as is evidenced
by the fact that the certificates are in our
hands, now We want you 10 account to us
for third Of the property in the shape OF
railroads, bank stocks, ETC., formerly be-
longing 10 Virginia and which you have
disposed Of.
At least that is the idea embodied in the
proposition. How much it would amount
TO in practice can be estimated by consider
ing the success Of holders Of other un-
acknowledged claims against the old state
in securing their payment from the pres
snt State Of Virginia.
talked with several members OF both
branches Of the Virginia legislature during
the past week and they all assured me that
never at any time during the past winter
MAS there any considerable feeling in either
house in favor Of even considering Mason's
proposition. In the first place they were
unwilling to revive the debt question in
Virginia in any shape whatever and IN the
next place they were thoroughly impressed
with the IDEA that TO enter into any ar
rangemsnt for the benefit of holders Of the
deferred certificates which Virginia dis
owned while at the same time they did
nothing for the Rckuo Eledged creditors OF
Virginia whom the Riddlebergar act had
cut out Of Sl3, 900, would be piece OF
political Inconsistency that they were not
ready to assume.

There was much excitement in the city
throughout the night, for never In the his.

deep feeling and psrtiz,n sympathy.
The jury got little sleep, and In
dulged in argument during the night but
at five clock this morning arrived at YER
dict. This was contrary to expectation, as
il was believed the jury would disagree II
q verdict sganst the prisoner was not
agreed TO. Judge Lacy opened court at
$50 this morning, and the room Was
crowded. The prisoner Was brought iu,
but his wife and daughter, who had attend
ed throughout the trial, were absent. When
the Jury filed in the excitement could hard
ly be suppressed, and when the foreman
snnounccd tha; verdict as Not guilty" 1t
was received with great cheering which the
court could not sutdus. Carpenter, upon
hearing the verdict, walked up to the jury
men and iervently pressed the hsnd oI
each. He then turned TO his friends aud

grsiulstions poured in on him from every
side.

trouble at the No. mill Of Brown. Bon

down for the present, pending the arrival OF
Vice President Kline, who mas been sent
for to adjust the difficulty. Manager Will
liams states that one of the puddlers, John
Price, had been making poor iron in spite
of being transferred from No. 3 to No. 4
mill. The puddler boss warned him that
his work would not be tolerated and that
he must improve on il, but he failed to do
go, and finally Manager Williams was sent
Tor aud discharged him. Price refused to
be discharged, s2d lis fellow pUddlers de.
Clsred that if he was discharged they would
all strike. Manager Williams, notwith
standing this threat, ordered the bars drawn
from Prices furnace, and ss a consequence
ell the men struck. The men claim that
Price did not make pOal iron and that the
whole difficulty resulted from the tyranny
Of Henderton, the puddler boss. Nothing
will be done at the mill until the thing is
