the State ndir consideration and ha,
now prepsIs irsft ola bill which it will
have presaned in the Legislature as SION
as possible after the session opens, and
which the democratic caucus will certain
ly make q .srty measure. The majority
Of thu Delocrsts in both Houses is so
large that tere is no doubt that the bill
will be qui&ly passed, and, under the cir
cumstance there can be as little doubt
that Govepor Hoyey will sign it.
The bin TO some extent, Is patterned
after the Australian law. It will make

manner Will seek to close up all manu-
featuring and similsr establishments, and
TO prevent, ss far as possible, inter ference

black, Republicans in red, Pro-
hibitionists in blue, and so on. The yoter,
should he desire to vote q straight ticket
Of any party, simply indicateS his choice
by puttinga cross mark opposite the name
Of that parry. If he desires to scratch his
ticket, or vote a mixed ticket, he will put
D cross marx opposite the name of each
person for whom he desires to vote. The

,heaply constructed, in which the voter
will 20 TO prepare his ticket. He will get
MS ticket from the Election Inspector,
Who will be provided with them by the
County Clerk in sealed packages, the ex-
'ense Of printing them having been de-
rayed by the county and State.
The law conttmplateS small precincts,
veraging about 200 voters to each poll,

ion. In preparing bis ballot, should he
poll it by Masking n mistake or marking
otherwise, the spoiled ticket must be re-
nrned 10 the inspector, who will have to

dist Indianapolis.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, December 30
The Methodist ministers of the city, come
fifteen in number, hold a weekly meeting
to consult and outline their weeks work.
They will meet Tomorrow as usual. Con
siderable interest attaches to to.morrow's
meeting, as ii is expected the reverend gen.
tlemen will discuss the grave question of
the inaugural ball at Washington. The
crusade against the sinful ball seems to be
confined to the Methodist denomination,
and, unless all signs fail, the discussion OF
the subject tomorrow will prove warm
one.
Private Secretary HGl(ord will prorably
attend the meeting IS he is Jealous Meth
dist, and some times occupied pulpit for
an absent minister. He is not opposed TO
the inaugural ball, however, as he expects
to look in on the pageant himself, and he
will likely express his sentiments to the
assembled reverends. 1t is thought the
ministers will agree upon tome tooc4rted
line Of action 10 the mat er, either to drop
the question altogether, or to csrry the
war into Africa.

= FAIRMoNT, W. VA, December 3O.-
:, Representatives of the Ohio River Railroad
Company, and the monied men back o.
that enterprise have just completed an im'
Dor tant deal in the coal lands lying in this
, section. The tract in question comprises
over 700 acres lying in the forks Of the
Monougahels river and north on the
West Fork river. The land is all under
/ laid by q rich bed Of the famous Pittsburg
vein. 1t is easily mined and workable
without any sbafting whatever for miles
along the east bank Of the West Fork
river. The consideration for which this
valuable property was obtained is not
known exactly, but it was not for from
100000.
The significance attached to the pur-
chase is that these lands lie at the ter
minus of the proposed branch of the Ohio
River railroad. By either route that may
be selected, Sistersville or New Martins
vile, the road will cross the ridge diyid-
ing the waters of the Ohio and Monongs-
liza, on to the head Of large stream known
as Big Bingsmmon creek, which flows into
the West Fork river within short dis
lance of this coal property. People here
regard the purchase as sure sign that the
railroad lire will be
built. This would probably necsssitate
extensions to Fsirmont and ClarksburS on |
either side. If the enterprise as thus laid |
out is completed it will BE- an immense |
advantage TO the industries Of this section.
