with tho apparent natural advantages
OF tho location, and tho progrcssalroady

pared for. One story Of the big 100000

AS y CONNECTING LINK.
Tho completion OF this bridge marks
an era in tho progress OF tho southern
end OF West Virginia. It connects the
Scioto division OF tho Norfolk & West
crn railroad, already in operation TO
Columbus, o., from lronton, with that
part OF the road in West Virginia from
Biueiicld, in Mercer county, through
Logan and Wayne counties TO. Kenova,
which is known as the Ohio extension.
This gives that large part OF the state,
hitherto without any railroad connec-
tlon whatever, Il place on through
trunk line OF great Importance, for it is
evident to the most superficial observer
that when the road is open through
from Norfolk to Columbus the company
will not allow it to stop there, but will.

mond, the wealthy politician OF San
Francisco, formerly OF West Virginia,
who is credited with being tho best
posted man i'll America, regarding
European politics, is in the city. lie is
ell route to Berlin and other parts OF
Germany. Speaking OF last weeks
trouble in Pamir, and thesisniticancc OF
Rnssia's part in it, Mr.. Raymond this
evening said:
The Pamir affair merely shows Rus
sia's intentions upon India. II is but
another slight evidence that war is IN
evitab!c. II Russia defeats Germany in
that war the whole world will bo in
volvcd, and oven the United States will
be. forced to take part in it. Thismay
seem impossible, but tho religious
ianatclsm which animatos tho Russian
army makes it certain. RUSSIA and the
Greek church believe themselves
destined to absorb all Europc.
II Russia dovours Germany she will
sweep in over France, and England can
then be tho only rescucr OF France.
Practically tho whole speaking world
must thon array itself against Russia in
aid OF civilization. America must aid.
At such time there can be no rcmcm-
brance OF tho revolution or tho war OF
1872"

Thos. W. Fleming, OF rairmont, has
been in the city during the past week
strictly on business, but in one OF his
intervals OF leisure managed to take to
himself the somewhat unusual honor
these days OF ride around the city with
Secretary Blaine. Mr.. Fleming, it will
be remembered, at an earlier period OF
this administration was offered the
choice OF several desirable consulships,
among them those 10 Venice and to
Trinidad. He, however, declined; and
he is not now after any appointment
whatever. His call OH Secretary Blaine
was purely and wholly OF q social ma
ture, and this left him free 10 ask some
pretty direct questions without fear OF
embarrassment to either party. In. the
course OF the ride above referred to Mr..
Fleming remarked that he had had the
pleasure OF voting Tor Mr. Blaine once,
and finally asked the secretary whether
such IN opportunity would be again
presented. Mr.. Blaine hesitated mo
ment and then said, smiingly, IT can't
answer that question now.n So that
Mr. Fleming came away no wiser than
he was before rs to Mr.. Blaine's Presi-
dental ideas. Nevertheless, the opin-
ion continues to gain ground that the
President and his secretary OF state have
reached, or will very shortly do so, Il
satisfactory understanding upon this
subject, and that Mr.. Elkins is the COM
ing man for secretary OF war.
OTHER WEST Virginia PEOPLE.
Misses Iona and Alice White, daugh-
tors OF United States Marshal White,
arc making an extended visit to the
capital. They are stopping with Mrs.
Mary Golf and Mrs. Judge Camden, ut

Capt. Dominick Morris. OF Wheeling,
who has been one OF the officers OF the
West Virginia Republican Association
here ever since it was organized, and
who for quite 4 while has been one OF
the members OF the guard force at the
bureau OF printing and engraving, has
recently had Il deserved promotion, and
now has charge during the day OF the
main door of that important building.
He is very proud OF three fine pictures
which hang in his Office, the work Of
Miss Elanch King, daughter OF the cap
tain OF the watch, Capt. Nathan King,
OF Erie, Pa, distinguished G. A. K.
veteran. Two oil these pictures are
crayons OF eX-Secrctary Window and
Secretary Foster, pronounced by ex-
perts to be the finest OF thcir-kin in
the city. Tho other is m oil copy OF
Charlotte Corday, always very fine.
Captain Morris is always ut home to
West Virginia visitors.

a rare treat is promised to the peo.
pe Of Vinita, january 9th. in con-
cert to lie given by Herr August
Aamold, the famous Young yioliust,
the countryman of Ole Bull. This is
the first of series of entertainments
to be given in the Academy this win
ter, which will include lectures by
Rev II. O.. Cronin, Rev. DR.. Geo. G..
Adams, st. Louis; Prof. O. ID. Adams,
Drury College, and probably concert
by Plof Challant, Of Drury, whose
piano recital of last season is so well
remembered. In order to put this class
of entertainments before the people
of Vinita large risks have been assum-
ed, but il is confidently expected that
the people will appreciate their priv
ileges and meet liberality with liber-
ality. The following press notices will
give an idea Of what may be expected
from Herr Aamold.
