NKw YoRK, Jan. 27.-The following Al
bany special 10 the Sun says:
1.-THE Democratic Stale Committee failed
to make choice Of g man to represent
New York in tho Democratic National
Committed. They met at the DeteVan
House and after 80 ballots adjourned Gt
midnight without day. The vote was II
for Roswell P. Flower and II for William

State without representative on the Ma

the State and National Administration
would lock horns on the choice Of the New

according to expectation, but without re-

Tas New York World publlshea long

Tag New York World publishes Q long
special dispatch from Catlettsburg, KY, In
which the following paragraph occurs:
"Among the neighboring wilds Of Pike
comfy, W. Va, tho war Of determination
between the Hatfelds and the McCoya
proceeds with uuhagging energy and to-
nSCIty. From prebeut Indications 1t SCENT
safe 10 predict thGt the Hatfield faction
will be wiped out au completely as ever
was a CcrsiCan family in the course Of
Desperate vendetta. It is already outnum'
bsred and in retreat"
We reproduce the above in order thai
the ISTELLIGENCER' readers may see how
the reputation Of Wes! Virginia Is being
smirched by Kentucky correspondents, as
has been charged in these columns. When
will our eastern contemporaries learn that
Pike county is rituated in Kentucky, and
that the bloOd.thirsty "West Virginia ven
delta" they prats about 40 much are Ken
tucky outlaws? suCh publications as the
above are doing this State much damage
in more ways than one.
West Virginia has many sins to answer
lor, Dut one of them is not the possession
Of the notorious Pike county alluded to-
II something is not done soon to muzzls a
few OF the sensational liars who furnish,
Tor pay, specials to the Eastern press,
Wes! Virginia may look soon to see the
uceue Of Texas cowboy raids and Mexican
outrsves located within her borders.

LONDON, Jan. 2z-Tho Lancet says:
The reports which reach us from San
Rsmoin relation to the Grown Prince arso OF
reaaSuring character. II appears that
small slough recently took place in the cit.
uation OF the growth, which was observed
In the early part Of November, and it is
thought by the resident physicians that
some exloliation Of cartilage is taking
place. The debris was, We believe, sent
to Prof. Virchey, but according to &C.
counts from Berlin Il has not yet reached
him. Although perichondritis may take
place In any chronic affection Of the
larynx, It Is very rarely prominent fsa-
ture in cancer, In which disease, morevsr,
It need scarcely be pointed out that re-
parativs process, such a. now seems to he
going on, Is rarely met with. We shall
probably have further details after Sir
Moreii Mackenzie arrives at San Reno.
Prince Bismarck, according to die
patches from Berlin, is not pleased with
Lord Randolph Churchill's visit to Russia,
and has refused to see him during his
visit to Berlin.

A COMMON CAUSE.
Tho Striking Miners sun Standing by the
RHllroadesa.

PcTrsyILLE, Pa, Jan. N.-Thers seems
to be an Impression that the striking
miners have cut loose from the railroadsrs.
The following will explain how they stand:
sub.dlstriCt No. II, National District
1876, Knights Of Labor, represents that part
OF the organized miners who are Knights
Of Labor and Is entirely distinct from the
AmslgRmated Association. The sub dis.
trict min rs and the rRlrosders belong to
common brotherhood, the Knights OF
Labor, and it is mainly through their ex.
ertions that the contest between the rail-
readers and miners is made q joint one.
The sub.district miners and the railroad
Knights Of Labor Assemblies have official.
ly declared the cause common one. The
Amalgamated have not officially 30 de-
Clared, but have alwaya decided to act in
matters pertaining to the miners strike
coniune!ively with their Go.mineIs' or.
ganlz zation, thus being tscltly held, though
not officially, to the endorsement OF the
common contest for supremacy Of labor
over capital.
It is the knights OF Labor miners who
have passed the alringsnt order that no
coal shall DO mined for "scsb" railroaders
TO handle, and, as stated above, the ANAL
gamated miners, while not officially en-
dorsing this action, yet have all along
tacitiy sgreed to support it, by renewing
their allegiance at each recurring meeting

Joint Committee, which is composed Of
representatives Of both these miners' or.
ganizations, and which is the joint official
executive body, or committee, that sees
to the carrying out Of all ordera emsnatlng
from either or both the Miners Union
and the few Knights Of Labor working
anywhere in the region, either railroad or
mine employees; the majority OF union
men now working for individuals at the

at every meeting Of that body argue the
queation Of being permitted to work

been able to hold them pretty solid against

Last summer the people Of Morgantown
were rejoiced when work had been com.
menced on the long.talked Of "Black Bot
tle Railroad." The proposed road has
been graded, trestleu constructed and the
laying Of the rails was to begin in Bhort
time. The contractors failed TO meet their
obligations at this period, work ceased and
hope OF securing the completion Of the
road was apparently gone forever. Mr..
Geo. O. sturgiBs, the most earnest worker
in the cause, was not to be discouraged by
this unsucceaSful attempt. He went
to work to interest capitalists In the
road and urge its completion. II Is now
reported that the road will not lie in its ]
