LITTLETON, w. VA, October 2T.-Re-
ports current here by employees of the
b. & o, r. Il. Company gives the intorma-
ton that the division officials of the
road west of Grafton have issued orders to
the track foremcn and others under
them to keep the men employed in Clay
and Church district probably fifteen DEM
Ocrats and two or three Republicans away
as far as possible from the polls on elec-
ton day, and ifany Of them refuse to work
on that day, or having began work loses
time to vote, his name must be kept by
the foreman for future punishment in
some way. This is done with the
deliberate intention of preventing
quite number of Dem
ocrats from voting and should
be called to the attention of the higher Off
cials of the railroad The conduct of some
of the small officers on the Fourth Division
of the road has shown political malice in
the removal of Democrats and the appoint
ment of Republicans mo better qualitied)
in their places. The railroad company can
not afford to fight the majority party in
West Virginia and am satisfied there are
men and gentlemen enough at the head of
this great corporation to see that fanatical
political little officers do not by fear or
threat prevent their employees from voting
for whom they please. The men will vote
discharge or no discharge, and then We will
see what follows.

"There is nothing in the world that

kind to run IN rut than the architec-
turc of the modern shirt" So said a
young man of iconoclastic tendencies.
"For years mems vests have been but
toned almost up to the chin, and the
little piece of shirt front that would
be left exposed has been covered by
a necktie. And yet men go on wear
ing shirts with fronts down to the
waist starched and ironed till they're
as stiff as boiler plate, and they pay
every week for getting two or three Of
these carefully polished. A man
might as we'll have the back of his
vest laundried every week. Eek.

The Storm.

A snowstorm set in last evening
which has continued all day, to day,
and gives no indication of ceaslng.
Fully one foot of snow must have
fallen on level and in the canyons
and gulches, while on the Sawtooth
and Smoky divides it must have
drifted to q depth of several feet.
This will greatly interfere ~ith.co
munications with the outlying dis
tricts, and may even suspend them
altogether until next spring.

NEWS FROM ALASKA.
The Chinese Driven Off, and Supplaat.
ed by Indians-NO Demand for White

Men.
A letter to the TIMES from Sitka,
Alaska, states that the Cinnamon
working for the Alaska Mill and
Mining Company were got rid of
smoothly" About 200 men went to
Douglas Island from Juneau, and in
formed Superintendent TreadweA that
the Chinese must leave within "a
hours. The next day the Cinnamon
were marched out of the mine aud
put aboard schooners and taken to
Fort Wrangel-19O miles away-the
white men paying $400 for their pas
sage. The whole movement was a
surprise, and was accomplished with
out violence.
Indians have since been employed
in their stead at 81 per day. They
are not reliable. They work we'll for
while, but as soon as they get a
months pay they go on spree, and
are very mean and treacherous when
drunk.
There is no demand for white men,
however, and hundreds of them roam
through the few Alaska towns where
any whites live, unable to obtain en-
ployment. There is great destitutior
in consequence.

Deer are coming in by the wagon

selves in mountain passes and lat the
fords and invariably bring down sew

No Time for Trivial Things.

AS some of the sisters have been
telling their way of housekeeping, l
thought l would tell them how do
mine. have no time for trivial mat
tiers, such as darning the family socks,
washing dishes, making beds, etc., as
most of my time is employed with
painting, embroidery and plants.
When the feet of the children's socks
become worn, a good way is to cut
them off and fasten on strap after
the style of leggins. This will not
show above the top of the boot, and
SO it looks Just as well. OF course, in
the case of slippers this cannot be
done. ] rarely wash my dishes more
than twice week, and this is the rea-
son: have provided stout bags of
cotton cloth marked with the owners
name, and hung at each ones chair.
After eating, l pile the dishes neatly
in the bags, and thus protect them
from cats, flies and dust. All this,
dear sisters, is 80 labor-saving and
leaves so much time for higher things.
Oh! if you could see some of my pat.
terms in Kensington, you would agree
with me.-Mrs. Adolphus, Lebanon

THE MINNIE MORTGAGE.
Although Sold for Unpaid Taxes, the
Sale is Null and Void.

sale is Null and Void.
A case which is of considerable in
terest, as it bears, to a certain extent,
on the validity of the law taxing
mortgages, has just been decided in
the Second District Court by His
Honor Judge Broderick.
The particular case was one in
which the validity of the tax sale of the
mortgage given by Cecil b. Palmer
to H. E. Miller and Fred. Meyers, to
secure their portion of the purchase
money for the Minnie Moore mine,
was involved. Thomas Carmichael,
the present manager or "trustee" of
the nine, found that the mortgage
debt-amounting, with interest, to
some $S2,000-had been taxed, ad-
vertised for delinquency, and sold to
the county for the amount of the tax
some $500, but sum amounting to
some $500, if the penalties and per-
centage on redemption be added.)
This was considered by Mr.. Carmi-
ohael a cloud upon his title to the
mine, AID he demanded that it be re-
moved from the record. The plaintiff
claimed that the Board of County
Commissioners had no authority to so
remove it; hence the suit.
The plaintiff alleged:
First-That the mortgage being for
the purchase money, it was not taxa
BILE under the statute.
Second That the assessment was
invalid-Firstly, for the reason that
Messrs. Miller and Meyers were as
sessed together, although one miller,
was resident aud the other meyers,
a nonresident. The mortgage being
personal property, Meyers's lnteres
followed his person wherever he went
That the illegal portion of the tax
being blended with the legal portion
and not susceptible of separation, thu
whole assessment was null and void
Secondly, that it was further invalid
in that it was assessed as a mortgage
debt while no statute of this Territor,
provides for the assessment of mort
gage debts as such; that the assess
ment must either show that it is 70
money at interest, solvent debts, O
capital loaned. Thirdly, that tn
Territorial and county taxes wer
assessed as an entire tax upon tn
roll and not separated. This rendere
the assessment invalid under the de
cision by the Idaho Supreme Court i
the case of the People VS.. Moore.
The plaintiff further alleged tina
this mortgage debt was sold as res
estate when it was personal propert.
and the statute provides that persons
property must be seized and sold, an
possession delivered upon the sale, b
the Tax Collector.
THE JUDGMENT.
, The Court held that the first objec
tons were not we'll taken. He ais
, decided that the sale and tax deed I
the county were SO defective and vol
on the face that they did not cast ar
cloud on the plaintiffs title to tt
mortgage; that this being the case, /
had no cause of action.
= |Section sc of the revenue law pr
vides that mortgage for the pureha:
money can be released on the recoI
without payment of the tax. 1t
therefore evident that, even if ii
mortgage be taxed and sold for delhi
quency, such sale does not constitu
. a "cloud" upon titie.-ED
