in the declarations he has made that he
was not seeking a reelection for himself
to the Senate. If Kenna has lost the
West Virginia Legislature he can at.
tribute the result, in part, at least, to
the fact that he has misCalCulated the
value OF the friendship Of man like
Henry G. Davis. Davis friends say
that when he wants to return to the
United States Senate he can do SO.
Had Henry G. Davis taken even lit
tie interest in the contest in West Vir-
ginia this year, the Republicans would
not now, three days after election, MS
they arc, be claiming that they had cap
tured the State. There would be no
doubt OF the result, but it is believed
that West Virginia would have yet been
in the Democratic column to u certainty.

to the Democracy. But the ex-senator
was silent. Then they began in turn TO
abuse and plead with him to say or do
something He, however maintained
his silence till the close Of the campaign.
Senator Davis has always been power
in West Virginia politics, but in recent
years his effort to aid the local tickets
have invariably been misconstrued by
Kenna and other Democratic leaders,
They intimating that all he did was
through selfish motive. Kenna and
Davis are, II is understood, not very
good friends, and the former has ut
times spoken of the latter in anything
but complimentary way. Kenna, i
is alleged, has been
JEALOUS AND SUSPICIOUS
of Davis ever since he became sena-
tor, and has been apprehensive that
Davis would aspire to be Kenna's sue
cessor. Davis has all along emphatically
insisted that he was out OF politics and
was not desirous OF re.entering public
life. Kenna and his friends, however,
never believed in the sincerity OF these
declarations on the part OF Mr.. Davis.
They have kept up their indirect abuse
until, II is now believed, Mr.. Davis
made up his mind TO refrain from taking
any active part whatever in Kenna's
II is believed that Mr.. Davis,
feeling that his previous actions as well
as his positive assertions as to himself
had been misconstrued and misrepre-
sented, concluded to let Kenna get along
MS best he could without interfering one
way or the other in his struggle for re-
election to the Senate.

ASTOUNDING EscArE.

At 5 o'clock this morning the re-
lief squad working at the foot OF
the main shaft, were astounded to
see an apparitioa approaching them.
It was not one of their party and they
did not believe that there was a living
man in the mine besides the rescurers.
Their surprise can therefore DO imagined
when the mysterious visitors staggered
up to them dimly outlined by the
uncertained light Of their lamps and
greeted them with, "here fellows, let me
have a light" II was Henry Burns,
who had for thirty-six hours been count
ed among the lost. He was quickly taken
to the surface and there told the story
OF one Of the most remark
able escapes from death on
record. He was slightly delirious
but there was considerable coherency
in his account. he related his story as
follows: II was working in the first
room, first north entry, east side, when
there was n roar and shock. at first

REPEAL 1T OR ENFORCE IT.-Can
nothing induce the council to set
hands to cleaning the sidewalks on
Saturday, that pedestrians, more es.
pecially ladies, can have a comforta-
BILE and safe walk on Sunday, to their
respective houses of worship? There
is an ordinance requiring lot holders
to keep their pavements clear of mud
and snow, and why is it not enforc-
ed? 1t is suggested that the coun-
cilmen are afraid of giving offense,
that if one of them should be can
d:date, for the position again, he
might lose vote. Repeal the ordi-
nance or enforce it, that we may
have better walks than our boosted
pavements give us now. Let the
street committee look at the crossings
ofevery street, where there is side
walk, and blush for shame, that so
much mud is allowed the whole sea
son through. Better get back to
the old custom OF cindered walks,
when we paid no taxes for street i'm
provements. The walks were infn-
lite safer and cleaner.

HEDGEsvILLE.

Rev. Lowell our esteemed minis
ter of the Episcopal church, has been
confined for some time to his room.
We are glad to learn that he is slow
ly regaining strength. The Rev. is
quite old, but has productive mind
which he is constantly applying to
the up-building of society.
Mr.. Hanna and his friend, Mr..
Hardin, are guests of DR.. Hanna, of
this place. Hope the young gentle
men from Maryland may enjoy their
visit to Hedgesville.
Last Tuesday evening, at I o'clock,
in the S. Methodist church, Miss Lu-
cy Nadenbousch and Conrad Robbins
were Joined in the holy bonds of mat
rimony. The connubial knot was
tied by Rev. Snapp. Long before
the hour had arrived, one could see
people from all parts of the town
vending their way towards the
church. The church was handsome
ly decorated with beautiful flowers.
After the ceremony was performed,
the invited guests went to the brides
home, where they were served with
all that would satiate a hungry APP
petite. Take it all in all, it was a
wedding that the friends may be
proud Of The only sad feature con-
nected with it was the death Of a
friend of the groom We wish them
a long and happy life together.
The people of Hedgesville are MAX
ing an elaborate preparation for
Xmas. There will be four enter
tainments during the holidays in this
place. Three to be held by the white
people, at their respective churches,
and the fourth to be held by the col
ored people. There will be select
reading, recitations and excellent
singing. The present outlook indi-
Gates a pleasant holiday.
We learn that the public school
will close on Friday before Christ
mat, and begin Wednesday after New
Year. The school is in flourishing
condition. The trustees have select.
ed the proper teachers for the right
place. The principal, j.. D. Cox
possesses every qualification to gov
ern and build up the school. He has
perfect control, and all obey him al

not used the rod in a single instance
This is new way of governing the
Hedgesville school, but we are con
WINGED that it is the proper method.

Christmas should he the happiest
day of all the year. Many, many
years ago, far away in Eastern
climes, on this day, the wise men
came with gifts of homage and love,
to lay them at the feet of the infant
Jesus, while the golden rays OF the
Star of Bethlehem fell on the hum
BILE place of his birth. Carols of joy,
anthems of praise, the angel band
sang in the heavens at His birth.
Centuries have fled like a dream, the
palm trees and olive groves OF Mt.
Olive have faded and died from the
face of the earth, but the message OF
the angels, declaring peace on earth
and good will toward men, will come
with loving force to US all on Tues
day next. Let there be JOY through
out the world; let the children en-
Joy the happiness ofthat day. Christ
mas comes but once a year. Light

the hearts of loved ones and friends
happy by gifts and kindness enjoy
yourself in innC cent amusements, for
