The fact that yellow fever cases have
been found within the last week or two at
New Orleans, Galveston and New York,
all Of which were brought 10 those cities
by vessels from South and Central Ameri-
ca, shows that the health authorities Of
those cities are becoming careless again.
Doubtless after another yellow fever epi-

The Presidency of the senate.

The Democrats favor Senator Edmunds
flor President pro tempore OF the Senate,
and the Republicans favor Gen. Logan.
The Republicans favor Gen. Logan
because he was their candidate for Vice
President at thelast Presidential election,
and because he has no chairmanshIp of a
committee. He is regarded as a Senator
OF experience and as such is entitled to a
Craftsmanship Of an important committee.
To provide a chalrmanship for him would
require some Republican Senator to re-
sign in his favor. None of them wants to
resign, and they will try to get over the
difficulty by making Gen. Logan President
OF the Senate.
There is no doubt that Gen. Logan
wants the place. He would regard 1t as
another step towards the Presidency. He
begins to feel that If he is ever to get the
nomination Of his party for President he
hasn't much time to lose. He is now
about so years OF age, and his health
shows signs of failing. Three years ago
he was forced to spend several weeks at
Hot Springs, Ark. II he doesn't get the
nomination at the next National conven-
ton the chances are that he will never
get it. ---- ----.---
Senator Edmunds' friends are pushing
him for the place, and the Democrats
think he would give them better satisfac-
tion than any other Republican. It is
said, however, that MIR. Edmunds does
not want It, aud that his influence will be
thrown to Gen. Logan. In that event IL
is pretty certain that Gen. Logan's sue
cess is almost assured.
The question has been raised whether
Gen. Logan is eligible since he has not
yet been sworn In. There Is no doubt
that the difficulty which this question
presents can be easily overcome. In fact,
il is said that there is n precedent that
meets 1t. The prospect now is, therefore.
that Gen. Logan will be the next Presi-
dent pro tempore Of the Senate.

L. A. moore s 90. Awarded the Contract for


the WORK.
The fact has already been mentioned
that the Grand Lodge Of Odd Fellows OF
this State is TO erect handsome monu-
msnt to the memory Of the late Thomas
G. Steele, Grand Treasurer Of the Order
in West Virginia at the time OF his death.
The committee to whom WIS given the
duty of selecting a design and letting the
contract met at Grafton on July 10 and
selected the design submitted by Il. ii.
Black & Bro, of this city. L. A. Moore &
Co., OF this city, had prepared q design to
be submitted, but by accident Mr.. Hamil-
ton, the resident member OF tho firm,
failed TO meet with the committee or have
his design laid before it,
The design being selected, the commit
tee advertised for proposals for erecting
the monument, and the contract has now
been awarded to Z. "a. Moore g. Co, their
bid being regarded as the. lowest and best
BY the committee. This goes far toward
establishing the claim OF this firm that
their extensive dealings, their ownership
OF granite factories in New England and
their other unriyaled facilities, give them
advantages over all local competitors in
their business.
The Steele Monument is to be CON
structed out New Hampshire granite,
known as the Grafton stone, freefrom iron
and all other foreign substance, and TO be
erected at the grave Of Thomas g. Steele,
in Bluemont cemetery, at Grafton, and
completed by the 9th Of October.
The foundation is to be five feet in
depth from top Of surface, constructed OF
hammer.dressed rock, joints broken and
laid in cement; TO be built ak inches
above top Of ground, tor. course fooled.
On the shaft are TO be cut the Three
Links, 0 tent, with crossed crooks OF the
opening, and on the right, when facing
the monument, a dove with an olive
branch in It's beak; on the lett the sun
with open hand in the center, aud in palm
OF hand the figure ola heart.
This contract reflects much credit on
the enterprise OF the firm securing the
work. Their studio Is in the Crangle
