NEW MARTNSVILLE, November 90
The publication in the IatelIigeneer o.
certain statements purporting to have
been made by the election judges of Mar.
tins school house, created some little
comment here. There is no excitement
for everybody who is acquainted with the
facts laughs at the charge of fraud. The
only surprise was that these men could
have been induced to sign such papers. II
is known to an absolute certainty that Re-
publican voters living at Martins school
house scratched Atkinson aud yet the
commissioners presume to testify that no
scratched ballots were cast.
A gentleman from that section arrived
in New Martinsville this morning. He is
a man Of unqusstioned verscity and his
name is only withheld from motives of pol
icy. He said that he personally knew Of
st least one Republican voter of Martin
s,hool house who scratched Atkinson. He
had also heard other Republicans say that
they did the same thing. He thought there
would be no difirulty in proving every
scratched Atkinson ballot, that was found
in the recount.
The Democrats have already taken proper
steps to look after the matter, and it is
safe to assure the public that if the contest
is pushed, Republican voters will be
brought to testify that they knitted Akin
SOD, in numbers great enough to settle the
cry of fraud forever.

The Atkinson Mandamus Petition to Come
Up-The Republican Bluff.

The Atkinson Mandamus Petition TO Come
Up-The Republican Bluff.
Before Judge Boyd, in Part Two of the
Circuit Court, this morning, the matter Of
the Republican application for . man.
damus will come up for argument. The
Board of Commissioners will be on hand.
in compliance with the order entered
Wednesday evening, and there will no
doubt be quite large attendance Of eiti-
zsns, for whom tie proceedings will have
considerable interest
Despite the murky appearance Of the
weather, yesterday, Democrats felt cheer
ful enough to have a good many loud
outlaws at the latest break of the Republi-
can management, in making big bluff to
back up their yell of fraud. 1t is stated
upon coed authority that 80 good report
did Mr.. CoWdsn make, upon the
occasion of his late visit to
Matt Qusy, up at Beaver, that he
succeeded in impressing the boss toodler
with the nect ssity of continuing the bluff
game here in West Virginia for some time
longer, and Quay authorized Mr. Cowdenlto
use S., OOGmore Of the reservestock Of fat
left on hand by the erigenecies Of the
Doodle campaign through which we have
SO lately passed, in the hope of dazzling
the people of the country into believing
that there was really something in the
cry which has been so persistencly raised
here in West Virginia.
Mr.. C1wden came home with this
authority, but seems to have concluded
that TO use $1,000 for any such purpose
would be something akin TO hunting a
mosquito with an elephant gun, and SO
scaled the sum down to s., 600, . sum not
quite 30 ridiculous in the eyes of people
who know the real situation.

THE HEART
A RAILROAD ENTERPRISE THAT WILL
PIERCE WEST VIRGINIA,
And DsFop Its Richest Hidden Wsalth-Stsvs
ElkhkS Scheme to Extend the West
Virginia Central on
n PtSburg.

gTTsBURG, November 29.-Stepten B.
skins arrived in the city yesterday, and
spent the day in conversation with MesIrs.
Fl. @. Flick, B. F. Jones and Others. They
developed scheme for a new railroad con.
nection between Pittsburg and the central
part of West Virginia. 1t is expected to
divert large amount of trade into thi:
city which has heretofore gone to Balti.
more. The only things yet undetermined
are few details, which they refuse tc
make known, because certain pal ties have
not formally given their names to the
scheme.
Mr.. Elkins said last night: "This con-
nection is not only Of importance to Pitts
burg but 10 Central West Virginia az
well. Pittsburg should by all means have
this trade and a big lot Of Few territory
shonld be developed. 1t takes ten hours
by the most direct route to get g ,ods to
Baltimore. We propose by the new route
to have five-hours connection with Pitts
burg.
"Pittsburg is the greatest lumber center
in this country, and all lumber cut west
OF the Alegbenies should be shipped
through here. 1t will be even more i'm
portant when the numerous fitlds through
which the new road will run are develop.
ed. Tney include some of the best lumber
country and richest lands in the country" {"
Can you detail the rJute?r
Not exactly. 1t involves some little
schemes that we have not fully developed,
and, OF course, We Coa't want to talk tco
much ahO1t them. There are two routes
by which We could connect with Pittsbu'g.
and with very little building. One would
involve deal with the Baltimore and
Ohio and the other with the Pennsylvania.
We have road built from Crawford coun-
ty tn Cumb srland and also extending down
the Tygart valley river, which is ons of
the main branches Of tho Monongshels.
Our object is to build read or
make connection clear through the
State. We could have connection
rom Cumberland to Pitt:burgh by the
b. q o., but more preferable scheme is
ths one we will adopt. 1t is to extend our
road down the Tygsrt to the Monongahsla
This will require aboat p miles of new
road. Then the Pennsylvania will build
50 miles of road from FairchanCa up the
tt.ver and the connection is complete. For
the amount of road to be built there has
never been a more important railroad deal
made in this town, if | do say it myself
Only those who know what rich country
we are going to bring in here realize just
how big the scheme is"
"You regard the new road as GER
tainty?"
81 do, indeed"

this morning iu q few minutes after the
alarm was turned in the entire foundry was
a mass of flames, which for nearly an hour
defied the best efforts of the fire to reach
them. Tonight half an acre of ground is
covered with twisted and warped iron, ut
terly useless, where last night was large
stove foundry.
Twelve men are thrown out of employ
ment. The rebuilding of the foundry has
not yet been determined upon. The fire
is the most serious one this city has suf-
fered for many years.

SOME SEE A BOOM.
A Difference of Opinion Regarding the
Proposed Railroad Combine.

A Difference of Opinion Regarding the
Proposed Railroad Combine.
NEW YORK, November 29.-The World
to-day says: The proposed combination Of
railroads under one management is vari'
ously regarded. While some railroad Off
cials profess to see in it the solution Of all
the ills railroads are heir to, Others do not
hesitate to declare that the plan is imprsc'
ticabe.
Merchants are no more unanimous than
the railroad men. Some believe that
uniform rate will tend to boom business
through an increased confidence. On the
other hand, there are those who can see nc
boom in it for anything save the securitie;
of the road
The same difference of opinion exists as
to the extent it may be affected by the
Iuter.St ate Commerce law. In Chicago II
is thought that the publicity given the
project may work its defeat. The inter
ests involved in the proposed union aggre
gate billions of dollars.

PALMER AND THE G. A.. r.
He Has Something Further to Say OF Hi
Withdrawal.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, November 2a.-The
feeling among Democratic soldiers and the
friends of Gea. Palmer in regard to his
withdrawal from the Grand Army of the
Republic has been intensified by the re-
ported interviews with various members OF
that organization, among others, MessEs.
Healy and Scribnor, of Chicago.
Gen. Palmer last evening said: II have
read the interviews and have received let
ters on the same subject from Ohio, 1ndi-
ana. Illinois and other States. Many
Of the letter writers approve what they sup
pose l have done, and Others, mostly
anonymous writers, abuse and de 1ounce
me- Some propose the organization Of ex-
soldiers when circumstances shall show il
to be necessary. Ex-soldiers can take
their places with other citizens to dis
charge their social and political duties like
free men.
1.-THE interviews published furnish all
the evidence that can be required OF the
well understood fact that the Grand Army
Army organization is political in its ten
dencies, and an organized adjunct to the
Republican party. That the professional
soldiers and Republican politicians suc-
caeded in convincing some soldiers that
Mr.. Clevelsnd was their enemy was prob.
ably true, but what interest the soldiers
have that differs from the interest Of other
citizens is too hard to comprehend. No
IN An of truth or sense will say that Mr..
Cleveland ever abused the soldier or is
their enemy.
"Col. Wiley Scribner is Chicago Re-
publican offiC eholder. He says my with
drawap from the G. A: 4. will hurt me as
much as my withdrawal from the army
did. The suggestion that disCbeyed an
order of Gen. Sherman during an engage
ment, and that he failed to hold me re-
sponsible, ia as disgraceful 10 Gen. Sher-
man rs it ia to me. The fact is that WAS
relieved of the command Of my corps after
the question of rank was waived by
me, and upon my own application to Geo.
Thomas, who approved my conduct and
was my warm friend until his death.
After this transaction, was assigned to
the important command of the Depart
mont of Kentucky by the express direc-
ton of Mr.. Lincoln, and held it some
iifteen months, and afteIward was on duty
in North Carolina until the middle of Au-
gust, 1866. The idea that Major General
could disobey an order from bis superior,
given on the battle field, and still retain
the confidence of Mr.. Lincoln, Edwin NJ.
Stanford and Geo. H. Thomas, is absurd.

NEW YORK, November %. - Grand
Army men in this city SEEM to rcognize
the importance of the movement begun in

split in the organization il inevitable. Jos.
A. Joel, editor of the Grand Army Gazette,
says the movement will be national in ex-
tent. He says the Democratic members
have alwas been treated as more or less in
teilopers in the Grand Army Of the Re
public. THE Order hiss always had roli-
tics in IL, and the Republicans have al
ways run it. The Democrats have been
ostracised and treated as traitors, even
when they had been manned in battling
for the Union"
Other G. A. r. men indorse these state
ments, and say that the Democrats now
propose to form a non political and chari-
table organization, such as the G. A. r.
was originally intended to be. The new
new order will be called by some such
name az the Union Veteran Association,
aud all Union veterans will be welcome.
1t is expected that many Republican ex-
soldiers, who feel that the G. A. r. has
been run as a political machine will join
the new organization.
