mense resources OF this coal may be az
preciated.
The Pittsburg, or Big Vein, between
Fairmont and Clarksburg, seems TO com.
bine all the most valuable qualities of the
Pitisbnrg and Connellsville beds below
the State line, in Pennsylvania. The
coke made from ihis bed has good height
AID firmness and a bright silyery appear
snce, which makes it difficult to be die
tinguished from the Connellsville coke. 1t
is also gas and fuel coal, equal in quality
to the average OF the Pit .sburg and Yough-
iogheny basins, and is also good firm,
shipping coal.
The growing demand for, and scarcity
Of, cokiDg Goals must render those of the
Upper MOnongGhels Bosin of great import
ance in the immediate future, as it ia the
most important part Of the great Pittsburg
seam now available for development. and
it can. at moderate expense for transpor-
tation facilities, be made in some respects
more accessible to many important mark Is
than even the Pittsburg and Connellsville
regions.
The ease with which the Goals of this
region can be mined Is not their least inn
portant feature, since they are generally
above water level and have good drainage,
rendering shaftiDg and expensive ma
chinery unnecessary.
In the light Of analyses and other facts
obtained from investigating this region the
conclusion is justified that this coal and
coke field must prove one of the most val

opment."

Charters OF Moundsvillo aud Benwood-
Bureau of Labor-Vrooman's Resolution
Tabled.
Special Telegram TO the Register
CHARLESTON, January 23.-The sess on
of the House to-day was an unusually busy
one. Besides the disposition of the bribery
sensation, considerable important business
was transacted. Under the head of re-
ports of committees, Sprigg, from the Ju-
dietary, reported favOrably House Joint
Resolution No. 3, authorizing the County
Court of Weizel county to establish the
alternative road law system, with the
recommendation that it pass. Gibson,
FROM the Committee on Districts and Cor
pOratiOns, reported favOTably the bill to
give the city council of Parkers-
burg greater authority to fund
blinded Indebtedness, the bill TO
amend tue charter of the city of Mounds
ville and the bill to amend the charter of
the city of BenwcOd. The last two are
very important to the respective cities, as
they secure to them important control over
their streets that they have never had b.
fore. Several other bills Of less import
ance were reported with the TecOmmenda-
tion that they pass.
Among the bills introduced were three
by Hoa Louis F Stiiel One Of them is
to empower the Board of Education of the
school district of Triadelphia to issue bonds
foc the erection Of a public school build
ing
Mr., Chew introduced an important
measure, 10 regulate railway freight and
passenger farel in the State. 1t provides
for the appointment of commissioners who
will examine and pass upon cases Cf unjust
discrimination. Mr.. Hauon introduced a
bill, providing thtt the State should pur-
chase the Mound at Mnnadsyllle. Al this
point Mr. Viuomau, ofWoOd, sprang a res
6iution, committing the House to the Re
publican programme, as far as the declara-
ton of the vote in Joint assembly is con-
cerned. 1t was pOunced upon by the
Democrats and tabled, recOnsidered aud
tabled again by a strict party vote. The
hour of neon having arrived, the Presi-
dent and members of the Senate
appeared and announced that they
had come to ballot for an Uai-
ted States Senator. The usual formsilies
were gone through with and the ballot
taken. The result showed no election and
most Of the votes as on previous ballots
we're entirely complimentary and indicated
nothing. Kenpa received Is votes, Gcff

The Joint assembly dissolved and the
House took q recess until 3 p. N.
Considerable business of routine charsc-
ter was transacted. In The afternoon
session Mr. Sprigg offered resolution that
il was the serue Of this Legislature that no
proposition touching the so-cslled West
Virginia certificates, or West Virginia pro-
portion Of the Virginia debt should be con-
sidered. 1t was unanimously carried.
Several bills were passed TO a second and

debate was permissible. Another long
wrangle ensued, and in the height
OF it Senator Smith appeared.
His arrival cut eff Republican
objection to a vote, and it was taken, re.
suliing ayes 8, noes 8. The resolution was
thus defeated. During the ballot Senator
Maxwell explained his vote. He said he
was in favor of going into the Joint sssem-
bly, snd would 50 vote at tho proper time.
He had desired TO offer an amendment TO
the resolution, to the effec, that the Senate
Orocesd TO this duty AZ p. NJ. tomorrow.
The previous question had put him of,
but he would favor such a move. Senator
Flo1rnOy Immediately offered resolution
embOdying this proposition under the
rules. It went over until tomorrow.
S me routine business was then transacted
and the Senate adjourned.
