BUcKHANNoN MATTERS.
The Public waiting with Interest the
Result OF the AtkinsOn-GIbson Fight.


SlScldt 70 ne hegtSteT.
BUCKHANNoN, March s.-The public is
awaiting with considerable interest the re-
suit of the Gioson-Atkinson embroglio.
Gibson's figures are rather startling, and il
be proves them correct it is time that an
Investigation was had. II il should turn
out, as Mr.. Atkinson's friends claim, that
tits only buncombe gotten up in the inter
est OF Governor Pierpoint, who seeks re,
yepge for the loss Of Q collectorship, then
the public will feel inclined 20 give the
whole thing black eye. One thing will be
settled at . ! events, and that Is, which is
Ioe org n"-tEe Intelligsneer or the
Evening Journal. And that decision will
determine the complexion of the West yir-
Sinla delegation in the National Republican

A CLAUSE IN MoRRRIsoNs TARlEF Bill
which Would Prove Deadener to
West Virginia Coal Men.

West Virginia Coal Men.
If there was any probability that the sub.
stitute for the Morrison bill would become
law, the harsh treatment il proposes for
the coal operators Of West Virginia and the
Cumberland section, in putting coal upon
the free list and excepting the Canada arti-
ticle until that country puts our coal upon
its free list, would rouse more indignation
than it new evokes. The effect of the lat.
ter clause will likely enure to the benefit OF
the Central Ohio coal men whose market
along the lakes will be protected against
Il e CsnsGa article, while the coal that
meets the foreign importation at the sea.
board will have to stand the direct compe-
HtiOn.

4 Nov DruI Store.

DR.. j. Z. Burwell, having recently
leased the building at the northeast
corner Of Second and West streets, has
remodeled te d fitted the same
up In first-cl r oSJIe a. drug store.
All the latest fixtures and improve.
ments have been added, which gives the
old corner an inviting appearance. The
fixtures are among the handsomest In
the city, while the drugs and chemicals
therein displayed have been selected
with great care by competent chemists,
and an experienced graduate in pnar-
macy Is in charge. Such a store as the
above fills long felt want In that vi
cinity and tho public should show their
ppreciation of the new enterprise by
giving it the patronage 1t merits. Fresh
and reliable drugs will be leading
feature OF the new store while all pre-
scriptons will be promptly compound
cd by a reliable person, who Is q gradu-
ate In pharmacy. A handsome soda
water fountain has also been placed In
the store and is kept running all the
time. Tho new store has been christen-
ed the West Street Pharmacy"

The A. M. 1. Ss,ciety.

A medium sized audience was pre-
sent at the Memorial Day exercises of
the Asbury Mutual Improvement So
ciety last evening. In the rear Of the
pulpit two flags were crossed, and sur
mounted with a handsome wreath,
while on each side of the pulpit, and In
front, inside the altar rail, there were
beautiful! flowers. The pulpit itself
was draped with large flag, and the
gas brackets on either side were decOra-
ted with wreaths.
The exercises opened with the choir
singing America" followed with
prayer by the Rev. W. l.. s. Murray.
"Honor the Brave" was then render
ed by the choir in excellent style, and
Miss Salle Shaw read in feeling and
effective manner, "Cover them Over. "
Tue Rev. T. L. Poulson, ID. d., fol-
lowed with the address of the evening,
his subject being "Our Country" The
distinguished orator delivered a mast
erly Grafton, and urged upon all the
necessity of h"norlng those who died
that our country might live.
Miss George Is. Carver gave an origi-
nal reading entitled "a Cypress
wreath for Memorial Day." and Harry
f Heisler followed with an original
address on the Perpetmty Of our Ma
tional Union" The exercises closed
with the choir singing "Cover them
over with Beautiful Flowers" an d the
benedi"tiou.

AZ Chicago.

Inc chicago correspondent OF the
Philadelphia Press, under date of May
10Th, says
There are more newspaper men than
delegates on the ground, and, while the
delegates spend their time In interview
ing the newspaper men, N reversal OF
the usual order of things, the latter are
compelled to draw upon their imagina-
tion for an analysis of the situation and
forecasts of results. As matter of fact
hardly skirmish line is yet thrown
out, and there is no sem blance Of a line
of battle.
The Arthur and Blaine parties are re.
spectively represented by two or three
men in authority, but the delegates,
among whom their authority lis to be
exercised and whose vote they must
capture or keep as the case may be, are
not here in sufficient numbers to attract
attention or demand recognition of
their presence.
Among the first to arrive were a half
dozen cOlored delegates from the South,
upon whom preferences and pledges
seem to sit very lightly, and who spend
their time in zealously impressing
themselves upon those who are believed
to have one Of the big booms in charge.
Some of tksm have been to Washing
ton, or even to New York or Philadel-
