Hon. Charley E. Wells, of Glover's
Gap, is at the Mcclure House, and
he is a State development agitator
from away back. Mr.. Wells thinks
West Virginia's greatest need is railroads,
and to verify this drew from his pocket a
neat little colored map OF the State, which
also shows the larger part of the surround
ing States. Pennsylvania on the north is
q perfect network Of railroads and her
prosperity and perfect development are in
proportion. Ohio on the northwest is cob
wsbbed with lines indicating railways,
and a more thoroughly prosperous State
does not exist. Kentucky is col so badly
cut up with railroads as to endapger its
domain, and it may be remembered that
she has q little more than n half
interest in the Hatfield Mccoy trouble
as q result of her unsettled condition.
Virginia aud Maryland are not so well
filled with railroads a. Ohio and Pennsyl-
yania, but any of the States named has a
far larger share than West Virginia. Let
US have railroads and thea let eur people
ask emigrants from other States and other
countries to come and help us enjoy the
plenty which We have.

Polo.


 1 The Meridens defeated the Hartfords last night in an exciting game.
 The Hartfords play here Friday night. The New Ravens play in Waterbury to- l night. So far the Waterburys have not won game from the New Ravens. The Bridgeport High school polo team is trying to arrange game with the Hillhouse High school team of this city.
 Doe left Meriden on Monday without his release No one has been secured to take his place, but the Jour nal says that deal is on foot that if car risd out will give Meriden team superior to any that has yet played there. The Meriden Journal last night in speaking of it said: "The Boston management were unwilling to make move to get Does release and that player will not play with any team until the Boston folks come to terms. Manager Clark evidently labored under the delusion that he could play Doe anyway and went so far as to ask Bancroft to allow the three days rule Bancroft, Clark or any other manager will have no need of three days rule until they get Does release, and that will be @ long time unless they come to terms. Doe is not eligible to play with any polo team in the New England association and the Massachu- setts managers have been notified of that fact. Boston is not one whit better off than they were before and not likely to be until they learn that the Connecticut division is stronger than Massachusetts and not run by Massachusetts"
 Manager Fred Clark of the Bostons says there lis not team in the Massachusetts league but what can easily defeat any Con- neeticut club and there is plenty of Massa. chusetts money that says so. If that is 50 and the Massachusetts men have saved enough to back their team the Connecticut managers may be some richer before the end of the season. A proposition made in Bos- ton Saturday was that series of three games for $500 each be played between club from the Massachusetts league and one from the Connecticut league. Those games would be for blood and give us the Connecticut club in that event.-Journal.

 The GounOd SOciety-Last Rehearsal
 Hut one.
 At the rehearsal of the Gounod society held fast evening at Loomis' hall g number of musical critics and others including repre- sentative of the COURIER were present by in vitation The work of this chorus as heard then for the frst time was quite interesting and left generally a favorable impression. Of course in undertakings of this kind, and especially where the chorus is small, one of the main difficulties experienced is in at tempting to embody only the best voices and the best musical talent; defective timber will creep in and the result is apparent to the musical ear. This trouble, for evident rea- sons, is unavoidable in new societies. The Gounod society is not entirely free from this defect, but has suffered surprisingly little through it, and must be congratulated on having secured so large share of talent. The chorus is made up almost entirely of young material and consequently has fresh ness and purity of tone which are very att tractive.
 The rehearsal last night evidenced the care full and skillful work of the leader, Signor Agramonte, especially in the delicacy of the light and shade. The forte is vigorous and solid, but it may be doubted if the effect of this be not somewhat lessened in so large an audience room as the Hyperion. There are some faults manifest, and necessarily so per haps, but on the whole the promise is good, and subscribers may be assured of an inter- esting concert. The sale of single seats will open on Friday morning, January 20th.

 The Glee club concert was the main topic of conversation among the students yesterday morning and many and varied were the opinions expressed. Some men thought it was rather weak, others thought it was fair, few freshmen declared it good, while the more outspoken among the collegians called it bad. The average of all the opinions seemed to be tha5 the club had added little to Yale's glory, but on the contrary had rather detracted from it by the performance of Monday evening The fair visitors were far from enchanted by the vexatious incl dents. Everywhere words of commendation for the Banjo club were heard. They cer- tainly did finely, while the orchestra suffered in the good esteem of the audience from it's poor position on the programme. That the Glee club of 'S7-S is below the high standard of it's predecessors is universally conceded. Had not the Banjo club accompanied it on it's recent trip it's concerts must have fallen Hat Above all, the management of the concert was wretched. Why the long and tedious waits9 Had not the management sufficient control to preserve order on it's stage so that the programme could have been proceeded with after the treatments demonstrations without such wearisome delay as ensuede The concert Monday evening demonstrated two things, viz., that the Yale Glee club has deteriorated and that it, requires the aid of the Banjo club to sustain it's concerts.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The Church of the Sacred Heart have re- ceived into their choir the Mount Pleasant quartette, who are very we'll known in this city. This makes quite an improvement to the choir on the male side, but there are not half enough sopranos in the choir or altos to balance with the tenors and bass. The organist, Miss Connor, is fine organist, and there are to be larger number of singers in the choir. PROFESSOR.

A saloon Keeper Gone.

Another person has left town in hurry. This lime it is not Spaniard who owes a large sum of money, but down town sa- loon keeper, John w. HeaIey, who keeps a saloon on the corner of East and Chapel streets.
 Last October he bought the saloon of John Leary, and although he did not pay cash at
 the time of the purchase, he has since paid up about $500 of old debts and saved up enough to renew bis license for this year.
 He left wife and four small children. The last his wife saw of him was on Friday af-
 ternoon, although it is known that he was
 at the saloon up to 12 p. m. of that day and
 no one has seen him since.
 He did not leave any debts to speak of ex-
 cept debt on the saloon, and that will se-
 cure John Leary and few small debts for
 beer and liquors.
 It is supposed that woman was partner
 in his flight, but who she was it is not
 known, although she is thought to be mar ried woman who lived in that vicinity Ii is supposed that he had about $500 with him. His wife has no idea where he has gone, but thinks that there is woman
 in the case. On Saturday morning when Healey's place was found closed it was said that he had skipped, but his friends would not believe it, but that he had gone off for { little time and that he would probably bs back in few days. But it was learned later that he had sold his license almost i'm mediately after he had obtained it, therefore it is supposed that he did not expect to re turn for the present anyway. MT. Healel has mother living in New York, but hi wife does not believe that he has gone there He was once engaged in business on Con gress avenue, but lost money there. All Mrs Healey's neighbors sympathize greatly witl her in her trouble. Healey's disappearance is rendered all the more unaccountable iron the fact that is known that he never had an' domestic troubles. MT. Healey is very pre- possessing man of about thirty four yearl and of good address.
