I'll. Rsllsr Committee Meeting.

The County Relief Committee, composed
of President Cruise of the Board of Com
missioners, chairman; ]. Shriver Woods,
secretary, and Messrs. J. W. Maxwell, W.
H. Tyler, s. G. Terrell and j. A. Nc
Csrdle, met at the County IuArmary yes
terday afternoon. The Committee was
called to order at o'clock and immed-
lately proceeded to map out line OF pro-
ceedure in the matter Of distributing pro-
visions to the food sufferers.
The Committee has already been ut
work and has succeeded In max
ing out partial list OF those
who have met with severe losses.
and it is the idea Of the committee to fur
nish those who have no food with provis-
ion and thtA who have lost everything
with some cash to give them little start.
As soon as an entire list Of the losses are
secured il will be decided in what manner
the five thousand dollars appropriated by
the Board OF Commissioners will be dis
posed Of The committee will finish up
this work to-day and will meet at the In
Urinary again this evening to decide In
what manner the money will be expended.
A subcommittee, composed Of Mesrs. j..
A. McCardle, s. G. Terrill and w. d.
Tyler. was appointed by Chairman Cruise,
who are authorized to give our orders to
the destitute. Each gentleman will be
supplied with an order book, and the
flooded district will be laid of into three
districts 80 that there will be no dupli-
eating orders.
IL was generally agreed by the commit
tee that the 5000 appropriated by the
Board will be entirely inadequate to meet
the necessities of the sufferers, and they
will cast about for other means of securing
n fuud. A resolution was adopted calling
mon the public generally for aid, and any
one desiring to make donations Of cash or
provisions should leave them with any
member Of the Board.
There seems no reason Why outside aid
might not also be accepted. There is one
ching certain, even if the Committee does
mot see tit to call upon the people Of other
cities, the money would be very accepta-
bic and it can be used to good advantage,
A any one who has gone through the
flooded districts can easily see.
However. there is enough to take care Of

The Situation In West Virginia EucourAg-

NEW YORK, Octabsr 18.-The Star says
Of the situation in West Virginia: The
sentiment among the mill employees Is
toward the Democracy, and many negro
voters, whose fathers are Republicans, ere
Joining the Democratic clubs and will vote
the Democratic ticket. The Republicans
are not 20 enthusiastic as four years ago.
but the Democratic meetings are attended
by large crowds. You may expect from

ginia.
"a lettsr from prominent gentleman
who has bsen through West Virginia, and
who is folly conversant with the politics
of the State, says: 1.-THE general impres.
sion among the people in Wet Virginia ia
that the Republican mausg'rs 10 the stats
are making desperate Efforts 10 capture the
Legislature with view Of securing q
United States Senator, and that co.oniza-
t;Oa is being resorted to extsnsive'y. The
Republican candidate for governor is really
running for United St,tes senator, and 1t
is understood that votes for him, as gov
ernor, will b, traded, as far es practicable,
for member Of the aSe nbly and senate,
and thus secure his election to the United

UPSTART PIERCE.

Mrs, Hendricks says Every Democrat
should Vote for Cleveland.
INDIANAPOLIS, October 1S.-The atten-
ton Of Mrs. Thomss A. Hendricks was
called tonight to letter thet appeared in
the Chicago Inter Ocean and other Repub-
lican papers yesterday from Henry D.
Pierce, of this city, who poses as q rels-
tive of the late Vice-President Hendricks.
The lstter is an appeal to Democrats to
vote for General Harrison because the
present administration had humilisted MIR.
Hendricks. Mrs. Hendricks says that
Pierce is not a relative OF herself or her
la.e husband; that there was nothing be-
tween thsm beyond the intimacy that re-
suited in the settlement Of some family
business; that Pierce is not authorized or
justified in championing Mr.. Hendricks
cause, and that he misrepressnts him when
he appeals TO Democrats to vots for Gen
ersl Harrison.
Concluding, Mrs. Hendricks Gays: ut
seems to ma absurd to suppose that Mr..
Hendricks would ask apy one TO support
other than those persons representing
Democrat C principles"
Pierce has been interviewed several
times at different plscss in the country
during the campaign, and Mrs. Hendricks
wishes this to be her answer so far as he
introduces her husband or bis views into
his interviews. The Republicans are
simply using him as tool because of q
supposed relationship TO the late Vice
President. He dos not enjoy any high
standing in this community and his opin,

ST. AiBAN'S BARBECUE.

Kanawha Democrats out by the Thous-
ands.
Special TtleordR 10 the Register.
CHARLESTON, W. VA, October 18.-The
Democratic Speaking and old fashioned
barbecus, at st. Albans, near this city to-
day, was grand success in evsry sense Of
the word. Long before 8 O'Clock
this morning crowds bsgan to
gather in the Little Village, and by neon
the place was crowded with people, who
had come to participate in the dsys] pro-
csedings. The barbecue was prepared
about one fourth Of mile from the town,
where the speakers stand had been erected.
The Speake.s were, T. L. Brown, Joe
Cailton, Judge A B. Fleming, Democratic
nominee for Governor, and Hon. A. B.
Mansur, of Missouri. The speeches were
strong and each sp saker handled the issues
of the day in an incompatible manner.
Congressman @ P. Snyder, who was on
the ground, asked that he be allowed to
make a statement. He made a telling
speech, and told the crowd that it bad
been reported that he was sore over his
defeat for denomination to Congress and
that he would not vote the Democratic
ticket. He said it was fact that he had
besn sore, but he was Democrat and
while he thought the people Of Ksnswha
ought to have given him another term in
Cougres, they thought better, and that be
would not only support the Democratic
ticket but be would work for 1t. Mr..
sny der was loudly chsered. Mr.. snydel
and his friends are doing what they can fol
the success of the whole ticket. The meet
ing was one of such enthusiasm as is seldom
seen in this section. 1t was truly q gres'
day for Democrats of this section.

"Is there any foundation for the charges

"Yes, there is truth in what Barry says,
but it is not proper to have them pub.
lshsd. They are truths that do not con-
Germ the public. By these truths, meau
the differences existing between the off

however, that should be settled at the
General Assembly. If the order of the
Knights of Labor cannot reform itseli

there can be re'orm outside or amons

BALTIMORE, October 1s.-The decrease
of S49s, 900 in the net earnings Of the B. &

plains to the board, TO the difference on
account of the express, which was sold

of; to the extraor 1insry e1psnses on &C

to an expenditure Of $685., 600 on rosdbed

sation on Change IS 1t had hen expected
that there would be 60 dividend. One
banker to-day gave it as his opinion thst
be did not believe the rosd would earn q
dividend for three or four years. The
stock closed to-day at s2i. Only few
shares changed hands. Many Of the
holders of small lots have uulosded the
past month and an impression prevails
that the stock may drop to SO before the

K1NGwooD, W. Va, October 1S-The
speech of Hon. w. L. Wilfoa here this
afternoon was grand and eloquent and
bristling with facts, the Democracy
was never 90 jubilant over Q
speech before and will buckle on their
armor ard fight with greater VIM than
ever before. He proved by Republican
authority that the tariff is tax and that
the consumer paid it, that wool was higher
under low thsn high tariff, showed why our
cattle were so cheap under Republican ad-
ministration allowing the cattle king Of the
West to use public domain, and how
Cleveland put a stop to it. Without
doubt it was the best speech ever deliv-
cred in Preston county. Admitted by
Republicans and others not of his political
faith. Republicans are down in the
mouth and Democrats jubilant.
