The Pioneer Press, colored organ, has
kind words to say of Judge Duckwall. 1t
remarks:
Judge Joseph 5. Duckwall, has been prac-
ticing at the bar for 20 odd years. Few can
boast of such an experience. He has the
ability to see things from a common sense
standpoint, and that is reached by sound
reasoning main factor in law and ev-
.erything else. He is approachable and con-
genial, AND the fact that he was elected to so
honorable position, SO late in the evening
of life, when his head is whitened by ma
lures snow that never melts, shows that he

The MonongahelA River Railroad Com
pany of West Virginia, the projected en-
terprise of which ex-senator johnson n.
Camden is at the head, has completed very
satisfactory arrangements with the Balti-
more and Ohio. The road is to be built
the present year, and work will commence
without delay. 1t will be about So miles
in length, from Fairmont to Clarksburg,
along The Upper Monongahela river, and
will open up the great coal field in that re-
giOn. The route is along the face of the
nine-feet Pittsburg seam of coal above wa.
ter level all the way This coal in quality
is equal to the Connellsville for coke, and
for fuel and gas is the same as the Pittsburg
vein. A great portion of the front of these
coal lands from Fairmont to Clarksburg
has been purchased by . company called the
Upper Monongahela Coal and Coke Com
pany, of which ex-senator Camden is pres
ident, and in which Judge Fleming and
others are interested.
The promoters of this development say
that it is one of the largest and most impor-
tant that has been undertaken since West
Virginia became State. The money has
all been secured to carry it through. While
it is the most prominent part of the scheme,
there are other elements to it that will CON-
mand attention. The Senator Camden sys-
TEN of narrow-gauge West Virginia rail-
roads will be made standard gauge and will
connect with the Monongahels River Rail-
road, giving about l25 miles of roads that
will reach the Baltimore and Ohio at Fair
mont. These roads are the Clarksburg and
Yves on Railroad, 80 miles long; another
road AZ miles long in process of extension
from Weston to Braxton c. II. on Elk riv-
er, into the heart of that agricultural and
timber section of the State, which is being
rapidly developed. From Weston the IVES
ton and Buckhannon Railroad is built "a
Buckhannon, 16 miles, and timber rail.
road is now in operation for some distance
up the Buckhannon river. These roads
will become valuable feeders 10 the Balti-
more and Ohio. "The policy of the B. &
o." Mr. Camden says "is of the most lib
eral character. especially in West Virginia,
and in marked contrast to the old regime.

A Giant Story by Christopher Pearse
Cranch. well known as poet and essayist,
tells of John Cables adventures IN queer
country where lived Mr.. and Mrs. Hugger-
muggei, the last of giant race doomed to
extinction by the disclosure OF secret.
John Cable, better known as little Jacky,
goes to sea, is shipwrecked, and with several
companions is thrown upon an island where
trees and shells are of gigantic proportions.
Poor Mrs. Huggermugger fades away be-
cause the secret has been disclosed by a
jealous dwarf, and Mr.. Huggermugger,
coming to America 10 join Mr.. Barnum,
dies at sea. The story is full of strange
adventures, quaint concelts, and odd silua-
TONS It is in a modern style after the Gu
rious Guliver's Travels, and is very inter
esting reading. The illustrations are nu-
merous. Lee and Shepard, Publishers,
