Is the Election Void I?

A correspondent of the Greenbrier
HodepeDde11 writes as follows concern
ing Warrington and the late election
held there
''There are now ten buildings in all
going up at Warrington, the new county
seat. The carpenters are rapidly push
ing the Times office, and when complet-
ed it will be handsome and convenient
structure There is considerable talk of
contesting the election that resulted SO
last December. On what ground we
have not learned. If there is such a
move in contemplation we feel sure that
it will be abandoned, for it will be al
most as hard to set aside the election as
it would be to dip the Mississippi dry
with teaspoon
The ground on which the contest
above referred to will be male, is that it
was not held under the present election
laws of the State of West Virginia, but
under an old law repealed by the last
Legislature. The new law requires the
Australian system of voting which the
officers failed to observe. Some of the
best legal talent in the State declare the
election utterly void on this account and
of no effect whatever. An election held
under an abrogated law is perhaps nc
election at all. The matter will have to
be decided by the courts.

Awoke in Her Coffin.

Mrs. S. Wilson, living 12 miles south of
Warsaw, ILL.,, became suddenly ill last
Saturday and to all appearances dead.
She was dressed for burial, and arrange
ments for her funeral were made No
physician was called On Monday a
neighbor was sent to Warsaw for coffin,
but got drunk and did not reach home
until Tuesday morning. When the
watchers began to place the supposed
corpse in the coffin, the woman threw up
her arms and caught one of the attend
ants by both wrists With difficulty her
fingers were released By the aid of a
mirror respiration was detected, restora-
tives were applied, and in a few hours
Mrs. Wilson was able to talk. She is too
weak to say much about her experience
while in the trance. She said she knew
preparations were being made for her
burial, and it was by an almost super
human effort that she threw up her arms
and clutched the wrists of the attendant
She will recover.

CORRESPONDENCE.


MEssRs EDIToEs:-T do not know to whom
am indebted for the compliment contained in
an article which appeared in your local columns
which had for it's caption "A Record Broken" in
your issue of the 18th inst and only have this to
say. that there has always existed difference
of opinion as to the ground hog seeing his
shadow on the second day of February affecting
the Gather for the next six weeks" But there
i Z; another matter about which people do not
differ That is that no man can tell which man
a stroke of lightning on Petit Jury will hit,
and in the particular case referred to, it appears
that the Jury did not even know which man
they were aiming to strike. II have been cor
rectly informed, they, with the assistance of the
learned Counsel for one of the litigants, could
not tell which man was struck until his Honor,
the Judge. explained by Instructions.
Very Respectfully,
T. P. BowLES.

Mr.. Massey's Defense

We publish from the State the state
ment of Mr. Massey, Superintendent of
Public Instruction, in reference to the
charge Of Senator Flood that he improp-
erly charged $75. for mileage. We do
not think the explanation is satisfactory.
The purpose of allowing mileage was to
cover the actual expenses of travelling
If person held a free pass oven the
road and travelled on it, we do not think
he ought to put in claim for mileage.
Mileage is not part of the officers sals-
ry, unless the amount claimed was abso-
lutely taken out of his pocket and ex-
pended for railroad fare or travelling ex-
penses. 1t is very strained construc>
ton Of the mileage question that Mr..
Massey has given, and we do not think
it ought to be sustained.

The owners of the charter of the
Washington, Cincinnati and st. Louis
railroad, which was to extend via Har-
risonburg and Bridgewater to the State
line in Highland county, are asking for
a renewal of their charter by the Legis>
lature. The people of Harrisonburg are
opposing this renewal unless it be con-
ditioned upon the completion of the road
as far as Bridgewater within the next
eighteen months. A great deal of grad
ing was done some twelve or fifteen
years ago, when work was suspended,
since which time nothing has been done.
Harrisonburg had subscribed $4,000,
Bridgewater $4,000 and Highland coun-
ty $4,000, for the building of the road,
and are to day paying taxes to meet
these enforced obligations.

The Tin Mines.

We learn that the Cash Tin Mines,
which have been prospected and worked
for some time by Boston capitalists, have
been sold to an English syndicate. The
most careful examination and tests of
the ore have been going on for some
time, and if this reported sale is confirm
ed it will demonstrate that tin ore in
marketable quantity and quality exists.
A large amount of money has been ex-
pended in practical tests at the washer
at the mines, and it is reasonable to infer
that if the sale of this tin mine is per-
fected it means the manufacture of block
tin at the Cash Mines.
Three members of Congress have petit
tions asking for a heavier tax upon
cigarettes, and Representative Cochran
will file his bill with the Maryland Means
Committee This bill asks that the tax
on paper wrapped cirgarettes be increas-
ed from so cents to $40. per thousand,
which it is claimed, will place cigarettes
beyond the class of persons most seriously
injured by their use,-persons under
sixteen years of age. The only objection
of the bill is that it will only prohibit
the manufacture of cigarettes, while the
boy will buy paper and tobacco and roll
them himself.

Literary Notes.

The Illustrations to accompany Mr..
Henry Van Brunt's authoritative in The
Century, on the architecture of the
Worlds Fair at Chicago, are being pre-
pared with the greatest care, and with
the advice and assistance of the archi
tects who are helping in this great work
1t is now fully evident that in its hous-
ing the coming Fair will be, certainly,
| the most remarkable ever seen. Mr..
Van Bruins papers will be written from
the point of view of the architects and
will describe in IA popular way these very
striking and interesting buildings.
! Paderewski will be the subject of two
papers in the March Century and of a
poem by Mr. Glider, and accompanying
them will be frontispiece portrait en-
graved by johnson and a sketch by
Irving Wies of the great yirtuoso at the
piano.
Of the papers, one is a CRITICAL study
of his method by the well-known Ameri-
can musician, William Mason, and the
other is a biographical sketch by Miss
Fanny Morris Smith, for which M Pad
erewski says he has given more material
than he has ever before placed at the
disposal of writer. The article has
also had the advantage of Madame
Modjeska's suggestions, the Polish ac-
tress having been friend of Paderewski
from his boyhood.
Mrs. Schuyler van Rensselaer, has
written an article on St Paul's Cathe-
dral for the March Century, which will
be illustrated by great number of Mr..
Pencils best pictures. The paper is of
thedral series because of St. PauIs
prominence as the one great church of
the Renaissance period in England. In
view of the fact that New York is plans
ming to build great cathedral, Mrs.
Van Rensselaer's argument from st.
Paul's that "a dome is the noblest crown
a great city can BEAR is worth eonsid-
Grafton.
Mr.. Hamlin Garland, whose book,
"Main Travelled Roads, is now attract
novelette,, "OP Pap's Flaxen,' which
appears in the March Century and con-
tinues through three numbers. 1t is
story of the first settlers of Dakota.
