LOCAL RAILROAD NorEs.-But little

Of the supply of rails running short.
The work is in progress now however.

The Towns SUBSCRIPTION TO TIE
RAILROAD DEPOT IMPROVEMENT
Some misconception will, doubtless,
exist in the mind of the public in re-
gard to the action of the Town
Council in submitting the PROPOSE
ton to vote $4,000 for opening a new
street to the railroad depot. A
reader of the Councils proposition,
who was not otherwise informed,
would inevitably come to the conclu-
sion that the sole purpose was to
raise $4,000 for opening this street
to the depot, and the whole amount
was to be expended in that work.
On its face the proposition as sub
mitted, imports that. But the fact
is there is double purpose in the
proposition. Only about one half
the amount asked for is to be ex-
pended for opening the street to the
depot. The balance is wanted to
pay debt already contracted by the
town. 1t is important therefore, that
voters should understand that it is
not $4,000, but about $4,000, that is
asked to make the improvement to
the depot. 1t is important that the
success of the measure should not be
jeopardized by such misunder-
standing. 1t is altogether probable
that the town would refuse to vote
$4,000 for opening the way to the
railroad depot. That would be re-
garded as an unreasonable expendi-
ture that we could not afford to
make. But we think the town will
be willing that one half that sum
should be devoted to such purpose.
The Railroad Company is about to
erect handsome and commodious
depot building at a point regarded
as most convenient to the company
and the town. At present the site is
inaccessible for want of roadways.
The roadways when opened will be
for the benefit of the town. They
will constitute permanent and
necessary improvement that must be
made some time. 1t is good policy
to make them now and to make them
ample and substantial. 1t will be
less expensive to make them now
than to wait until the business of
the railroad has built up that section
and made property more valuable.
Since the Town Council has some
what obscured its purpose and made
its meaning somewhat muddy on the
face of the proposition submitted, it
will devolve on those who are inform
ed to see that general misundcr-
standing among voters docs not de-
feat it.

/ am requested to say by friend
who has been travelling some in
West Virginia that if the Committee
on the Band Tournament for the
Centennial at Morgantown, will Sc
lect the right kind of men for judges
and announce them at once in the
papers, that there will be several
bands in attendance from different
points in the State. / am further
requested to say that hand organi-
cations desire that no brass band
teachers shall be appointed judges,
and no person shall he appointed
who resides in any town from which
brass band comes. that will con
test for the prizes. 1t is again sug-
gested that DR.. Dowden, of Fair
mont, be one of the judges. The
Doctor was leader of the Pittsburgh
Opera House Band for number of
years, and is one of the finest must
clans now residing in West Virginia
We, the Democrats of Cass dis
trict, feel proud Of our present Con-
gresham. Although the Second

Der of years, yet we think Mr.. Will
son has few equals. He is scholar,
natural orator, honest and con
sciencious, and the most industrious
man that ever represented our Dis
trict. As there is already some talk
of some one to fill Mr.. Camden's
plae e in the U. S. Senate, when his
term expires, we the democrats of
Cass. think that the Hon. William
L. Wilson would be the most suita-
BILE man that West Va. could honor
with that position.

DEATH OF THE REV. DIR. DAUGHER-
TY.-From the Baltimore Sun of the
18th we get the following notice OF
the funeral of the Rev. DR.. Daugher-
ty, who was once a resident of Nor

The funeral of Rev, DR.. Thos.
Daugherty took place yesterday af-
ternoon from South Baltimore Station

was largely attended, many persons
standing throughout the services.
The floral tributes were numerous
and beautiful. Hanover street M. f..
Church sent a large design, "Gates
Ajar," surmounted with a dove, and
jackson Square column cross. Beau
tiful music was given by the choir.
Rev. Mr.. Lanahan preceded the cof-
fin on its entering the church, reading
Scripture. Rev. DR.. VIM. F. Speake
announced the favorite hymn of the
deceased, Just as | am without one
plea" Rev. w. F. Ward made a
prayer, and Revs. B. P. Brown and j.
w. Cornelius read scriptural lessons.
Rev. L. f. Morgan made the open
ing address. He said Dr.Daugherty
had improved his early educational
advantages. He chose the profession
Of medicine and graduated in Balti-
more, but felt impelled to devote
himself to the ministry. He was so
quiet and modest and reserved that
he did not advance in the business of
the conference for which he was
qualified, but waited to have work
assigned to him. AS a pastor he
had few equals. He was minister
and physician to the poor. He de-
voted more time to Sunday school
work than any minister in the Balti-
more Conference. He left this mes
sage: "Say to any who may inquire
in regard TO my spiritual condition
that / attended to it in my youth
and that all is WELL"
He was but twenty years of age
when he entered the conference, two
years after his graduation as a doc
tor.

THERE has nothing ever been de-
vised that is more dcmoralizing than
a skating rink If a decent woman
or a young girl attends they see the
indecent exposures of persons falling
and hear the coarse laugh of the
drunken lout and the profiigate. 1t
has, however, come to that pass that
women who have any self respect
stay away from the Kinks and keep
their children away from them. 1t is
charged in London that the recent
exposures which have so Mortified
the country started with the "rink
craze" We could give instances in
our own town where ''mashes" or al
liances have been formed that are far
from creditable and in some cases
most immoral and disreputable,
which the girls think nobody knows
and which their parents would not
like TO hear.-ClarbSburg Necs.
