The Board OF County Commissioners
met yesterday forenoon to receive the
report OF County Engineer Smith as to
the damage to the county roads and
bridges, ind make some provisions for
repairing them. The members were all
present but Mr.. McGregor. Mr.. Smith
reported that he and his assistants, had
not yet had time to get all over the coun-
ty where the damage was done, and
could not therefore give exact estimates
on all the work required to be done,
From what he had seen, however, he
thought it would take $4,000 to repair
all the roads and bridges, culvelts and
the like, washed out. He presented
definite figures for work to the amount
OF $4,000.
As his estimates were not complete
the Board referred his report back tc
him with instructions 20 20 on and
finish it, and report in full at an ad
journed meeting Of the Board to be helC
next Wednesday.
Olthe tlne iron DrlIgesiOelonglng toth'
county, it is said only two are uninjur
ed. Of these, one Is the bridge ut thu
Thompson place, east Of Fulton. Thu
double span bridge at Elm Grove wa
damaged, but can still be used.
The Board went out in the afternoon
to inspect the Bethany pike and rclocat'
the bridges washed away. Some mem
bers favor relocating whole section o
the road, around the hill, SO as to avoi,
the necessity Of Birding the stream twic
us now. They hold that Il bridge can
not be put high enough to escape injury
and point to one thirty feet high which
was demolished last week.

New CUMBERLAND, W. Va, July 25.-
The greatest political sensation that has
been known here for some time was oc-
casioned by the publication OF the fol-
lowing paragraph in to.day's issue OF
the Independent:
''W. II. McClurg, of this place, will
vote for Harrison and Morton. He saws
he has voted the Democratic ticket since
lS4S, but that II wool is TO be put on the
free list he wants free sugar and tobacco.
He says he don't use much wool, but
the two latter articles interest him some.
what"
Mr.. McClurg has always been strong
and active Democrat, and the news that
he had become convert was start
ling to the Democratic bosses. At first
they intimated that the statement was a
Republican lie, but this was refuted by
Mr.. MCClurg, who authorized the use OF
his name in print us one who was going
to vote as he had never done before.
The small politicians then began their
abuse, saying that Mr.. McClurg never
was n true Democrat, and that this was
not the first time he had Topped. All OF
this is very unjust, for the gentleman, US
before stated, has always been promi.
nent Democratic voter.
Mr.. McClurg's son, Mr.. L. X. Nc,
Clurg, who voted for Cleveland four
years ago, will vote with his father for
Harrison, Morton and Protection. They
are not the only Democrats in this coun.
ty who will vote this glorious ticket in
November. There are many who, while
they are still Democrats, are thoroughly
disguised with the party of Cleveland
and its attendant Free Trade ideas, Mills
bill, etc. Hancock county will probably
surprise the people in other parts OF the
State when the returns are sent in.

AFTER DUE REFLECTION
Over the Rank Ball Playing of
WheeIing's Team
A SPICY LETTER is SENT OFF
by the Board orDlrcctors to Manager
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Game
At Jackson Caps the Climax.
Cheaper Men to be Gotten.

A very interesting meeting OF the
Board Of Directors OF the Wheeling Base
Ball Association was held last evening,
and before it was concluded, letter was
framed and sent to Manager Buckenber-
ger, the contents OF which will be likely
to make his hair curl. The majority Of
the Board are both disguised and indig-
nant over the shameful! and inexcusably
bad work OF the team away from home,
and propose to end it. Manager Buck
enbergcr was TOLD in the letter sent him
last night, to at once dispose OF one OF
the high-priced ornamental pitchers the
team is carrying around. He is to be
allowed to fire whichever one he thinks
is OF the least value, and it is not very
hard work to imagine who that will be.
lie was further informed that upon a
repetition OF such rotten work as has
been shown in the last three games, he
would be expected to at once dis
charge the players causing the loss
and employ cheaper men in their
places. The letter contained spicy
reading from beginning to end,
and will probably result in a tenn
porary braCing up. There were some
members OF the Board who thought
it little rough to protect the Associa'
ton and public in this way, and this
brought out some remarks from Presi'
dent Seeley, He said he was tired oil
the way things were run when the team
was away from home and that that letter
must either be sent or he would stcE
down and out.
After the meeting one OF the directors
speaking Of the bum playing, OF the
team, said: "They are probably lush
ing again. There is no doubt but what
that was the trouble on the first trip, and
it bids fair to wreck us again this time
Buckenberger is too easy with them.
ANY other manager would have assessed
ut least Sl25 in fines in the last Lima
game played here. After the two awful
games ut Kalamazoo, and to-day's dis.
grace at Jackson, the entire team should
be raked andiine We have high priced
men who were engaged as ,pennant
winners. They can't win and play us
they have been doing, and we are going
to get cheaper men. You can look To
see some heavy fines laid or new men
secured for important points. No, !
don't take any stock in the hard luck
theory; its all bosh."
Yesterdays defeat at Jackson is toe
rank to be commented on at length
The Wheeling men have their eyes
glued and cannot see to hit the ball.

Fannie Hastings, somewhat noted
woman OF the town, was arraigned in
Squire George Ankles court last even.
ing on charges OF assault and battery,
trcspass and drunkenness. She was
fined S. in each Of the first two eases
and 81 for drunkenness. These fines
with the costs, amounted to S2G so, and
she left the court accompanied by an
officer in the hope OF raising the money
and thereby keeping out OF Jail. The
charges were preferred by Stella Woods,
another frail woman, who had been left
in charge OF Media Dunbar's house OF i'll
fame. Hastings was in charge OF the
adjoining house, on Eoff street, run by
Nellie Martin, the two proprietresses
having left town for few days. Hast
ings went to the Dunbar house early last

Leonidas S. johnson, OF Pruntytown, q
lifelong Democrat, and who has always
voted the Democratic ticket, declares
that he will support the Republican

to be, and that it has left him.
"Why, just look at it," says thcJudge,
taking out Of his pocket piece of tobac.
co ~, and all lovers OF the weed, are
compelled to pay tax on it, because a
Democratic President and Congress re.
fuses to remove the tax, and yet will

stroy our home industries. Where is

The modes OF deaths approach are
various, and statistics show conclusively
that more persons die from diseases Of
the Throat and Lungs than any other.
1t is probable that everyone, without ex-
ceptiOn, receives vast numbers OF Tu-
bercle Germs into the system and where
these germs fall upon suitable soil they
start into life and develop, at first slowly
and is shown by slight tickling sensa-
ton in the throat and if allowed TO con-
tinue their ravages they extend to the
lungs producing Consumption and to
the head, causing Catarrh. Now all this
is dangerous and il allowed to proceed
will in time cause death. At the onset
you must act with promptness allowing
a cold to go without attention is danger
GUS and may lose you your life. As soon
as you feel that something is wrong
with your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, OBJ.
tain a bottle OF Boschee's German
Syrup. 1t will give you immediate re-

evening by Officer Grubler. This morn.

Judge LETTERS, to a charge Of drunk and

exciting experience with the fellow and
before he had him safely landed, had to
use his club pretty freely. Monnahan
used to be nail-feeder in this city, but
is said to now hail from Brilliant. In
company with two companions he put
in his time yesterday afternoon doing

To he Editor Of The mtegtgenecr:

To he Editor Of TIC InteIigeRecr:
SIR:-One OF the most amusing things
that | have noticed for long time is
the prominence the Register gives in its
issue OF n day or two ago to my friend
D. D. 7. Farnsworth, OF Buckhannon, as
chopper"
Tony certain knowledge, Farnsworth,
who was once Governor for day, has
not voted the Republican ticket for the
last ten years, and during that time he
has chopped" from the Democratic
party TO the GreGnbnCk party and from
there back to the Democratic party, then
into the Labor party, etc, al intinit,tm.
Not longer than 4 couple OF months ago
Major Farnsworth was nominated by
the Labor party for Acknowledgement.
He never practiCed law in his life,
so far US known, although he has
served as Judge" on the County
Court and by reason OF that experience
was doubtless deemed emincntly fitted
for the office. Now that he has "hopped"
back again TO the Democracy, | am not
surprised that he is anxious to meet
Gen. GOiT in joint debate. His ambition
to be heard is OF the itching kind, and
inasmuCh as during the last two cam
paigns he spent his time stamping for
John Brannon, it comes natural for him
to be worked up to the martyrs pitch
OF enthusiasm against his old enemy.
There is but one bitter dreg in our
Democratic friends cup OF rejoicing
over Fransworth's "hop," and that is
the imminent danger OF his "aopping"
out Of their ranks again into some other
party before election day.
1t is a very strong probability that
about the first week in September he
will record another somersault into the
Prohibition, Labor or Belva Lockwood
party. This malady is chronic and OF
long standing with him, and l warn all
friends that il they bet their money on
