COMPANY STORES.

A "uISER" writing 70 the KsnsWha Ga
zeus gives the following comparison Of
prices of produce furnished by company
stores" and "cssh stores
We get 10 lea. sugar in the company

The writer says that tAs eosl comPany's
stores in the Ksnswhs valley make more
than 20 per cent of the miners and that
the articles furnished ara Of poor quality
at that.
If these things be true, the system is but
form of robbery, and robbery, too, OF per-
sons least ABLE 10 stand it The lot OF the
miner /. not an easy and pleasant one at
best, ami { system that 6lches from him
his bsgd earned dollars, is a great
wrong. This ia no doubt true, not only OF
grea, mauy coal companies stores, but
OF other companies as well.
The system has 80 often been open to
objection through the abuses that have
spsuug up, that it has almost condemned
itself The temptation to extOrtion is too
often too great for svsricious msu, and
they don't hesitate when they have men in
their power TO rob them of their earnings
by charging them exorbitant prices fer
the necessaries OF life. Every one reeol'
lec,s the great complaints that vent up
from the C1nuellsville coal region during
the past summer, on account Of the extor-
too OF the company stores. Men ought TO
be paid in cash and be allowed to buy at
cash prices

ClarksE ~ Court Houae.

ESi'or Of The Register:
DEAR SIR Your Clarksburg respond.
ent in lsst Sundays REGISTER does great
injustice to Messrs. Mayors AMI Helmick,
in the matter Of the Carksburg Court
House.
Before putting in their bid Mayors. l.
Helnick appeared before the Court and
'old them that their bid would be condi.
tional upon the delivery to the contractors
Of the orders Of the county as the work
progressed. The matter was folly dis
cussed and tae Court stated that there
would be no objection as to such delivery
of orders, as il would not cost the county
anything, the orders no. bearing interest
Mayors 4 Helmick thereupon put in their
bid for the work with the written condition
therein that the county orders, payable
November |. 1887, and November /, 1888,
should be delivered to them monthly, upon
estimates made by the Supervising Arcni
tect Of the work done aud 10 sterisl fur.
nishsd, snd upoR this bid the Court awarded
them the contract. ,
The contract presented by the Court to
Mayors x Helmick did not contain the CON.
dition as to monthly delivery Of the orders
confined in their bid, and the Court refused
to let the condition to be inserted. Con.
sequently Mayors i Helmick withdrew
her papers. They asked that q clause
in the contract authorizing the architect to
supervise the furnishing Of tie material
be stricken out bqt which left him freely
authorized to inspect, approve or reject all
materials. But even this vas withdrawn
before the action of the Court was taken,
which was therefore upon condition .or The
monthly deliFerI Of the orders alone. The
Court gave no reason for its action in the
matter.
We have the above from @ disinterested
gentleman Who was present and who says
that the above statement can be verified
10 snY particular.
Mayors and Helmick are not in the habit
Of svAding any responsibility which they
have assumed. And / am sure that tn
numerous gentlemen at Clarksburg who
we're present at the session Of the Cour,.
will hold these gentlemen guiltIess of de-
lsyiDg the construction of the Court House.
FAIRsKss.

Pursuing Escaped Prisoners.

An escape Of several prisoners took place from
the Jail at Waynesburgh, Ga, on Wednesday of
last week. The prisoners got out by means of
hole they burned through the floor of the
cell. They then broke down the front door of
the Jail with heavy iron bar. William Gar
vim, the murderer of d" Bill Hankinson, was
heavily ironed with chain around his neck
and made fast to the center of his cell. The
chain was broken and Garvin carried his neck
lace and chain with him. Garvin is the man
who few weeks ago, after killing his victim,
took the body, ironed it, and endeavored to sink
it in the current of the Savannah River Dep
uty Sheriff Zorn, as soon as he learned of the
escape, summoned posse and went in pursuit.
They found William Garvin and several of his
comrades camping in the woods on the Savan-
nah River near the scene Of his murderous act,
about 20 miles from this place. An attack was
made, and Mr.. Zorn was badly shot with bird
shot in the leg and foot The officer bravey
made all efforts to secure Garvin, but failed, the
night being dark and the woods being too
thick to make effectual pursuit of the escaped
prisoners. On the following morning Tarber
was arrested almost frozen to death and bleed
ing from wounds inflicted the night before.
The swamp is in bend of the river, which is
guarded on the land side by officers, and as the
Savannah is swollen above its banks Garvin
cannot escape, but will probably be frozen to
death

Sarah llfhea 10 the Front 4gain.

Sarah Althea Hill, who claims to be the widow
of ex-senator Sharon, of Nevada, was married
at Stockton, Cal, on the eth inst. to Judge
David S. Terry, e4-Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court of California. The marriage took place
at 10 o'clock in the morning at the parsonage of
the Catholic church, Father O'Connor perform
ing the ceremony. The groom, the bride aud
the officiating clergyman were the only persons
present The license gave the brides name as
Sarah Althea Hill Sharon, and her age as 30
years and Judge Terry's as 81. After the cere-
mony the bridal party drove to Mr. Terry
residence, where a wedding breakfast had been
prepared. As soon as the repast was over Judge
Terry returned to the Superior Court and
proceeded with a trial. Clinton Terry, the
Judges only son, is reported to be greatly an
noyed at the action of his father, and intends
leaving Stockton to reside at Fresno, where he
has considerable property. Geo. W. Tyler, the
principal counsel for Sarah in her recent suit
with Mr.. Sharon, was indicted in San Francisco
last week forfelony. 1t is charged that Tyler
was party to tie false affidavit in which a
witness named Mrs. Clark is made to say that
Sharon had confidently told her that Sarah was
his wife. Two other persons, James E. Brown
and Mrs. Wells, who were recently convicted of
the same offense, are now serving terms of five
years in the San Quentin State prison.

Frishtful Accident in a Tunnel.

Railroad, in Virginia, last week by which fou,
men were killed and two seriously injured
The men were repairing track in the tunnel
at stretcher's Neck, when freight train, which
was not tagged entered and was derailed, piline
the cars in every conceivable shape in the mar
row aperture. When the unfortunate men saw
the train enter the tunnel, they sprang to the
sides and were wedged in between the walls
and the wreck, four being literally mashed and
the other two so badly mangled as to render
their chance of life very slight.

Escape Of COnyfcts.

Sixteen penitentiary convicts employed in
the mines at Coal Hill, Arkansas, effected their
escape On Wednesday of last week. They tun-
neled for distance of 30 feet. The work was
commenced at the time of the strike, which &C.
Cured three weeks ago, and continued until
the tunnel was completed without the officials
discovering it. A search was made through
the mines for the purpose of finding the pas
sage, but it proved unsuccessful, the convcts
having so effcctually closed it behind them that
not trace of it is left. Two of the men have
been recaptured. Bloodhounds and posse are
in pursuit of the others.
