STRONG RESOLUTIONS,

Special DiSpdich to he IateRtgeResT,
GRAFTON, W. Va, Feb. l3.-At q
large meeting OF the GofF Republican
Club, held to appoint delegates to Par.
kersburg, the following resolutions re-
ported by committee Consting Of John
W, Mason, James W, Holt and L, G.
Jeffreys, were unanimously adopted:
Rssolred, That it is tho sense OF this
League that the unlawful and revolu-
tionary acts Of the Speaker OF the House
of Delegates can not override or nullify
the legally expressed will OF the people I;
that the right TO hold the Office Of Gov
ernor is conferred by the people OF the
State at the polls and not by the Speaker
OF the House or the joint assembly of
both houses and that this right confer
red by the people to General Gotf Is
coupled with the obligation to perform
the duties thereof; and it is therefore
further
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
League that Hon, Nathan Gotf should,
upon the 4th day OF March next, qualify
and assume the duties Of the office Of
Governor; that the fact that his right to
hold the same Is contested by u man
whose strongest plea Is that he did not
get votes enough, does not impair his
right or duty to hold the office until re-
moved by the sentence OF tho court
created by the Constitution to determine
such cases, and in the manner prescribed
by law. Common decency, II nothing
else, would seem to dictate that this
great shame which is sought to be
brought upon the State should at least
bo deferred until the form OF law had
been complied with.

TlG AsSAUIr ON MR. Sl. CLAIR.
Nearly n Thousand Dollars Reward for the
AssnIInnt of IA West VIFgIuIn Man.

ASsailant of "a West Virginia Man.
PIrTsBURGH, Feb. l8.-The Borougt
Council OF Williamsburg met last even
ing and offered reward Of, $500 to the
person furnishing information thai
would lead to the arrest and conviction
OF the persons who early yesterday
morning shot Mr.. L, X, st, Clair while
the latter was defending his property
from them,
1t was ordered that the notice OF the
reward be published and printed in cir
cular form for general distribution. The
Council then adjourned and citizens
meeting was Immediately held, with
Mr.. J. j. Campbell in the chair, The
action OF the committee in raising funds
yesterday was indorsed and 500 addi-
tional was subscribed on the spot, Sub
sCriptien lists were suggested, and q
committee consisting OF Messrs, John
Porter, W. +. .Younk and John ZOlinger
was appointed to secure subscriptions.
Such funds as are or have been raised
will be devoted to the employment Of
detectives. Action is also expected
from several societies, to which Mr.. st.
Clair belonged. Public feeling is thor
oughly aroused and no stone will be lett
unturled in the pursuit OF Mr.. st..
Clair's assailants. Gilkinson's DeteC.
tive Agency has been employed, and its
employees We're hard at work all last
night striving to find Il trace OF the two
men who committed the crime,
The leading clue Is in the fact that one
OF the burglars is undoubtedly wounded
by one OF the shots fired by Mr.. st,
Clair in his pluckY pursuit OF the men
after he had run them out upon the
street from the interior OF his store.
Traces OF blood were discovered yester-
day alongthe route taken by the fleeing
robbers. Tho citizens OF Williamsburg
who pursued them tracked the burglars
easily as far as Swissvale, where the men
separated. One man fled along the rail.
road track toward Port Perry. The
other man made OF towards the Du.
Quesne steel works, and both escaped
for the time. The booty carried away
was quite valuable. Brown 4 llacketts
loss was $3.50, and some bundles were
found on Wallace street which had been
abandoned by the gang when they took
flight.
Mr. st. Clair's condition was deemed
very critical late last night. The bullet
is still in the wound, and it has not
been deemed advisable to probe for it,
His physicians gave small hopes OF his
recovery. His mother arrived from
Morgantown, W. Va, last evening and is
nursing him. Excitement over the oc.
CurrenCe seems to be on the increase.

Through the Castle Shannon Valley
Reported to have been Selecting

tallthrOWgh.-T The Reasons.

PlTTsBuRGH, Pa, Feb, 13.-It is a sure
thing that the Wheeling & Lake Erie
railroad is making an effort to get into
Pittsburgh,
Just why, however, the company is
making its surveys and plans SO secretly
does not tHnspire.
There are well posted men who say
the plans may fall through for any one
OF three orfour reasons, and this may be
the cause for secrecy; but these same
authorities say, at the same time, that
the road will head this way ii there is
half ashow to get here,
With tho road into Wheeling, rs II
will be in few months; with an auXili-
ary company opening up the Ohio coal
fields in the reighb0rh00d oil Steuben-
vile; with good facilities for handling
the Lake trade, there is every reason
why the Wheeling & Lake Erie Com
pany should make strenuous efforts to
reach here,
A railroad man who arrived in this
city this morning from points reached
by this road, says it is common talk in
that territory that the road will be head
ed this way Immediately after 1t is built
into Wheeling. "But | got it from IN
authentic source" said lie, "that there
is even more than thatin the wind. Tho
road is anxious to establish direct line
between this city and lake ports, and in D
formation | received is to the effect that
the hackers OF the road will not wait I'M
til the rOad is built to Wheeling, but
that early in the summer work will bG
commenced on the Pittsburgh division.
No, | don think any trunk line is father
ing the scheme; at least don't know OF
any, yet, at the same time, such thing
could be without my knowledge. Neither
do / know whether the capital for the
Pittsburgh end will be local, Eastern or
foreign"
Readers will remember the publica
ton, some weeks since, OF an account OF
the mysterious movements OF a corps OF
engineers through tho Castle Shannon
valley. The movements OF tho party
were characterized by unusual secrecy,
and every member studiously refused to
answer any questions relating to tho
identity OF their employers. The engl-
neers made four surveys through the
valley and beyond aud also surveyed
Mt. Washington for u tunnel, For some
timeth identity OF the party remaineda u
mystery, and various were the speCula-
ti0ns in regard to it, 1t is now asserted,
however, that the work was done by tho
Wheeling & Lake Erie, and that the
road, il it comes into the city, will come
by this route.
