mentioned the names OF those only who

Mr.. Logan did not refer to this TO glorify

UNwARRANTABLR ASSUMPTION.
1t was an unwarrsntable assumption for
any Senator to intimate or insinuate that
this bill was now introduced with a view
to an impending difficulty between labor
and capital.
1t seemed that to some men any state
msnt that would injure another was
sweet morsel. II was an unfounded and
unworthy insinuation, Referring to the
suggestion that the increased lthe army was
wanted for show, "lor a circus" Mr.. Logan
repelled, The people, he said, did not
want any "show" about 1t, They had
SHOW" and "circus" enough in the Sem

circus was on he did not know any
more active performers than the
Senators who were opposed to

FAlRNoNT, W. vAn March 20.-The
West Virginia Gas, Oil and Gas Coal Com
pany completed lis organization here on
the Goth inst, by the election Of perna-
nent officers. The Board OF Directors was
previously elected and Is composed OF the
following gentlemen: Frank Burt, Chas,
L. Wells, Jno. w. Mason, Jno. 7. McGraw,
VIM. A. 0hley, Jno. Blackahite and J..
Ed. Watson.
The officers of the company are Frank
Burt, President; VIM. A. 0hley, Secre-
tary; John Blackshiro, Treasurer and
Chas. L. Wells, General Manager.
The object Of the company Ia 10 par-
ticipate in tho development Of the gas and
ell territory Of this region. The theory
generally accepted by oil men is that there
Ia a belt Of oil lands extending from the
oil regions Of Pennsylvania diagonally
through our State to the counties In which
oil has been developed-RtLChie, Wood,
Writ, &C., and that anywhere within this
belt oil may be found III paying quantities.
Actual experiments have neasurably
established the correctness OF this idea.
Acting Upon this suggestion several Penn
sylvRnlR companies have been engaged
for months past In securing leases Of lands
and otherwise preparing 10 occupy the Ter.
ritory comprised within this belt.
A suspicion, however, that these COM
parieB are aCtuated simply by speculative
motives and have no intention Of putting
down wells, has deferred many land own.
ers from leasing them their lands and
consequently there iS still large area Of
territory within the limits Of the supposed
belt unocCupled which may be secured BY
a company which In good faith proposes
10 practically test the question whether or

The West Virginia. Gas, Oil and Gas
Coal Company has been organised for this
purpose. The names Of lie CorpOratorB
and directors affords tue strongest
guarantee that the work for which II was
designed will be prosecuted with prompt
