ARTHUR AND WEST VIRGINIA.

A HRShingtOn Paper says He Has
Right TO Use Official Patronage 10
Further HIS Aims.
The Washington Post breaches a small
sermon on the text of the recent action of
the West Virginia Republican Executive
Committee at Grafton, assuming that the
fixing OF the Convention at Martinsburg
Cn the seth of next month is a triumph for
the Arthur ring of the party. 1t holds
that the President, as controlling in great
measure the patronage Of the Government,
or in one sense the political machinery Of
his party, is certainly not to be blamed or
abused for making the utmost possible use
of the advantages which thus attaches
to his position. 1t is no more than
any other OtfiCsholder under simila- cir
Cumst0ucss Is emitted to do; nor is 1t any
mole than every other politician who de-
sires to become an office holder expects
10 DO
Mr.. Arthur, therefore, will lose nothing
frCm the mere fact of bis Identification
with the machine" and neither Mr..
B,sine nor any candidate for the Presi'
dtncy, who chances to be oyerruled IN
State committee or outvoted in State con-
vsntipn, will gain much by complaining
about the corruption of machine politics.
Only one Of the candidates has the ma
chine TO operate with, but all the rest
protest as much IS they may against Its
methods, are anxious for nothing so much
ss 10 capture it for taeir own and pre-
CiSely similar uses,
The pending contest is, like all other
contests, between the Tls' and the outs
-be'ween q section of the party which is
bCuud to use all the resources at its com
uaud 10 keep in, and other sections that
will 90 the same thing to get in, even TO
promising in sdvsnce what the other has
N possession"

PleHng its work. The Clsrksburg people
say they have q definite proposition from
the Pennsylvania road, which they can
carry out and which is acceptable, and
they state that they are meeting with graf
flying success 10 getting rights Of way on
liberal tSrms. The B i o. railroad men
admit that they are having trouble in get
tirg their rights Of way and that they are
obliged to pay unusuh p ices for then,
but say they are going through at any cos
that may be necessary. They have secured
the franchise Of the Irondale road which
was intended 10 connect Monongslia
county with the b. & O., at Hirdman's
furnace and this gives them prior rights
over about twelve miles of the line through
MooonRahe'is county, which their present
enterprise proposes 10 follow. While ad'
mitting that their roads have some advan-
tage in the matter of prior Incorporation
over the balance Of the route, which may
give them preference in the matter OF con-
dempation, etc, they scout the idea that the
Pennsy lyania system is really in earnest IN
the matter of helping the Clsrksourg peo-
pie to build their road, claiming that such
action would be in direct contravertiou OF
the PeDnSylyania's policy which has been

and DiXon's line. On the other hand they
Bay that there is no danger Of the B & o.

Hart, B. N. Despard, @. J. Goff and John
G. Vance, who have corpOrsted themselves
under the name Of the "Clsrksburg Maui
raj Gas Company" made application on the
7Ih inst. 10 the City Council for permission
to lay necessary main and service pipes
and other fixtures, to enable them 10 con-
vey natural gas from the property OF the
company at the west end of this city to the
various buildings in C Carksburs, for heat.
ing, manufacturing and lighting purposes.
The matter was considered at a special
session of the Council on the 10th
of this month, which resulted in
granting the application, however, with the
provision, that It is subject to any rights
or privileges heretofore granted to any
other Company or persons. The corpor-
stors are live and energetic business men
and have already commenced operation IN
preparing TO properly tube the old gas
well ut the junction of Elk Greek and the
West Fork River at this place.

bullet entering between the eyes, and per

FUN AHEAD.
How west Virginia Republicans nj the
Capital Talk.

Probably there is too much taken for
granted in the assumption that the West
Virginia delegation in the next RsPuo'
Lean National Convention has been or can
be captured by the present Administra-
tio7. There was as much of an organized
tfT,rt made foar years since to. capture 1t
for Sherman as there is to capture it for
Arthur to-day, and the result was monde
script delegation that kicked up behind the
more it vas held down in front, and kept
OF Kicking until she stuting was entirely
extracted from sll the machine candidates.
judging from the talk Of West Virginia
Republicans here there is = much bigger
Republican row bottled up IN West Nlr,
gilis than any that has yet escaped, and
the probabilities are that the stopper Will
be RULED clear out at Msrtinsburs. II any
bCGy can tell definitely what the result
will be in the way of Chicsgo delegation
he has better turn for divlnatlon than

The even; Of the week which attracted
the most attention here was the passl lse Of
the F.tz John Porter bill by the Senate Ie.
storing that gentleman 10 his former rank
in the service. The discussion which pre-
cedsd the vote Was disappointment to the
crowded galleries, which hoped to hear
something Of tbs eloqUencs which used to
be an inseparab,e feature of a field-iay in
the Senate. Perhaps it was because the
subject Is worn Ihreadbare-in any event,
the great bulk OF the Senators took no
part in the debate, leaving it to the few
who have been the special champions and
opponents Of P0rter's case from the begin
niTg AID to those of the newly elected
members who wanted an opportunity to
Make u BeGIsniBE ON the Floor,

from Nebraska, who opposed, and Riddle

OF the bill, made good impressions. Logan,

Gus and Elective speeches and although
he always margles The Presidents English

manner was as bad as his matter. Common
place statements explanatory Of the alleged
state Of the weather when Nero fought
Hannibal and Wellington tOUgh. Napoleon,
were yelled out as though tie Information
was
intended TO 60 Ringing Down the Ages
instead Of taking root in the Senate, and
bis gesticulaljon was of piece with the

was that be got himself into latner OF

Mine.
WEAvERvILLE n. c., March l5.-Ei. Ray
and Weights Anderson, who killed three
men in q few seconds at Flat Rock, Mitch
ell county, are now at Asheville Court
House. The difficulty grew out of conflict
ing claims on mica mine. The men killed
were Stephen Burleson, Ell. Horton and
Sebe Miller. These men claimed, under O
lease from other parties, the old Penlsnd
mica mine. Ray and Anderson, above
mentioned, also claimed the same property,
holding lease from other parties claiming
the land. The mine had been lately opsr.
ated by the Burleson party, and was devel-
oping mGrvellously rich vein.
At about midnight on Sunday, Feb. IL,
BurIeson. Penland and Miller went TO the
mine to begin work snd to preclude the
possibility of any one else taking peacea.
bic possession of the mine. On arriving
there they found Ray and Anderson had
pYecf ded them and had possession. This
exaspe rated the Burlsson party. Ray and
Amos rson were bold and fearless and, havs
ing been for a number of years in the
revenue service, of course were fully armed,
ready and willing to defend themselves to
the utmsst. Burleson and Penlsud went
Immediately down into the pit, about
twelve feet deep. Ray and Miller got into
an alteration on the brink OF the shaft.
Miller knocked Ray into the pit. Then
Anderson knocked Miller into the same
pit. This made three men OF the Burleson
party in the pit. They Immediately as
saulIed Ray, who vas still stunned from
bis fail. He then drew his pistol and shot
down Burleson the first shot. The second
ball passed through the heart OF Miller.
Burleson was shot through the brain. An
derson, Rays friend, being up on the sur
face, and hearing the pistol shots in the
pit, was just about starting down the
ladder to the rescue of Ray, when he was
seized violently by Ed. Horton, who threw
him lAndersoD) down, striking him with
a LARGE rock he held IN his hand. Ander.

work was done is not known, but the wind
blew the loos ened slabs from their places,
ard in almost every instance shattered
them. The cemetery looked as if it had
been struck by a cyclone. The damage
viii foot up over 5000. Two men were DIS
covered in the cemetery and chased, and
one of them was captured, but he denies all
knlwle6ge of the affair. The purpose Of
ghuuls is not known; but as the cemetery
is the burial place of wealthy old Creo e
families, it is thought that they intended
70 invade the tombs in the hope Of finding
iewelry or other va uables in the m olier

here 70 bury jswe.ry with the dead.
