A sadder lot than I've yet known,

My child, hope on

Into thy chamber windows float,
And to thy soul each siI'yry note
Bespeaks that love

Tell thee OF springs release
From bonds, that winters cold held fast.
Now they i'll joy burst forth at last;
So child with thee

Still hope and wait
For it may be thy fate
Has led thy way through winter SHOWS,
But in thy heart hopes blossom blows

Though thou reach Heavens gate
In thy long pilgrimage, ere thou

AnImnortant rax case.

MADISON, WIS., November 1S.-The
arguments in the Important case OF the
Milwaukee Steamship Company VS.. the
City of Milwaukee has just been COM
pleted, in the Supreme Court. The de-
cislon Of this case will be Of great sig
nifcance, as it involves the question OF
the right of corporation to locate out
side OF a city and transact business In
the city, thus avoiding the payment OF
city taxes.
The Circuit Court decided this case
against the city of Milwaukee and an
appeal was taken. II the Supreme
Court should sustain the decision OF the
Circuit Court, Conrad Kretz, attorney
for the appellant, says that business
men generally would incorJ orate, To-
eating their manufactures outside the
city limits and carry on their business
in the city without paying taxes.

The Cnban Sugar Crop.

HAVANA, November 1s.-The hrst
sugar cane contracts made public this
season were closed at GuarieiraS, in the
Province of Matanzas. They are on
basis Of FIVE and half to five and three
quarters arrobes Of centrifugal sugar to
be delivered at Matanzas for each one
hundred arrobes of cane delivered at the
side of the mill.
The first fire OF Importance in the
cane fields reported this season occurred
at the end of last month on the planta-
ton Santa Lucia, at Gibara. The con-
fagratlon, which is said to have been OF
incendiary origin, caused the total loss
Of about 200, 600 arrobeS OF standing
cane. There is still wide difference
in the estimates of the coming sugar
crop. On one hand the fine appearance
OF the cane at Remedies gives rise to
the belief that the crop will exceed that
of last season by from ten to fifteen per
cent, while on the other IL is asserted
by some persons who claim to be well
posted, that in the province OF Matan-
zas there will be decrease OF fifteen
per cent.

CANDIDATES GALORE

To tho Editor Ofths Register:
MARTINsBURG, w. VA, November 16.
Since the election it is amusing the
number of applicants Martinsburg has
for the various Offices. Every man who
did the smallest piece Of work during
the cam paign begins to think that he
deserves something at the hands OF the
party, and has not failed to put In his
claims. There are at least dozen ap-
plicants for positions at the distlll cry,
and Berkeley county is only entitled TO
TVS There are all told five store
Keepers aud gaugers TO be appointed.
Recently new warsuUusv hoe bcen IN
course of erection and when it is dn-
ished one or more gaugers will neces-
sarily be required.
MFor the Postoffice three applicants
have already announced themselves.
ALI are excellent men and any one or
them would make a frst-class postmas-
ter. First among them is Mr.. Joseph
III. Shaffer, who has large following
particularly among the older class OF
voters. For years he has been a hard
worker and often times has rendered
his party invaluable aid. He
has q strong competitor,
however, in the parsonage
of his nephew, D. W. Shaffer, young
man of considerable influence. He is
chairman of the City Executive Commit
tee and a tireless worker. The young
ana progressive element of the party
will most likely divide their support be-
tween him and c. w. Boyer, who has
for the past decade been prominent in
his partys councils. He is editor
of the Statesman aud secretary OF the
County Committee. No one has done
more than he for the success OF the
party, and If he received the appoint
ment il would be nothing more than he
deserves. The fight is a good natured
one, and who ever the successful one
may be, the others will still be found
giving cordial support TO this party.
Stuart w. Walker is understood to be
a candidate for John w. Mason's place
as Commissioner Of Internal Revenue

Beavv Drafts on the Treasury.

WASHINGTON, D. c., November 1.-THE
heavy pension payments this month
amounting to nearly SIS ,0O0, 900 and the un-
expected falling off of government receipts
has reduced the cash balance IN the treas
urv to $27, $50, 000 nearly all OF which IS
either in subsidiary silver or on deposit
with national banks. A still further de-
mand is expected before the end Of the
month. but 1t will undoubtedly be checked
very shortly by the natural increase in the
revenues. Secretary Foster said to-day
that notwithstanding the unusually heavy
demands on the treasury and the fact that
the sugar bounty for the year will amount
to nearly SlO,O0O,0O0 against $1,000, 600 for
the previous year, he was confident that
there viii be no deficit in the national
finances during the present fiscal year.

Democracy of West Virginia.
Special TsIsqran to he REGISTER.
WASHINGTON, November 1s.-It is
rumOred here upon pretty good author
ity that the Hoe. Stephen B. Elkins has
conceived another OF his great flank
movements" upon the Democrats since
he crawIed into his hole and pulled the
hole in after him, because of the result
in West Virginia. Having lost the
State after pledging himself TO carry
it. having even Informed the chairman
Of the National Committee week be-
fore the election that the State was
safely Republican, his chagrin and
anger against the West Virginia De-
mocracy has been so aroused that he
has conceived the plan to dictate to the
Democracy of West Virginia whom they
shall elect as the next Senator from
that State, but like many remarkable
things that spring from his brains 1t
lacks the wisdom Of even politician.
have determined il possible to
beat Senator Faulkner for reelection,
thinking that he is entirely too agrees
Sive an antagonist and political oppo-
nent and with this in view, in connec-
ton with their organization in the
State, the Hon. Stephen has sent word
to his political satraps notifying them
that it is the policy of the leaders OF
the Republican party, when the Legis-
lature meets in January, to try and
get some Democrat to run against
Senator Faulkner with the dis
tinct understanding that II he
he can get enough Democratic members
who will decline TO submit to the decls-
ion Of the Democratic caucus to unite
with the solid Republican vote, that
this vote will be cast for him III order
to defeat Senator Faulkner.
No higher compliment conld be paid
to Senator Faulkner than this effort up
on the part of the Republican leaders
to throw their solid vote in the Legis-
lsture tor any body rather than see him
reelected. 1t is assumed that it was
the difficulty in Matching up this scheme
which delayed Mr.. Elkins' return to
Washington until ten days after
the election as il is supposed
that five days would have been SUI
fcient to have enabled him to recover
from the neuralgia pains consequent
upon the cold atmosphere which struck
him on the Sth OF November. No one
here feels that this scheme to divide
the West Virginia Democracy, after its
glorious fight and splendid victory, will
materialize further than to exhibit the
bad temper and desperate condition OF
the leaders Of the Republican party in
the State. Senator Faulkner's record
in the Senate, and his services in the
campaigns Of 1890 and 1892, in both OF
which the Democratic party, in State
and nation, gained glorious victories,
will not be repudiated by the Democra-
cy of West Virginia.

Who invented brandy? The good people
in certain parts of Germany say that it was
the devil, and perhaps they are not so very
wide of the mark Here is the legend:
A Steinbach man cajoled the father of
evil into entering an old beech tree and
there he was imprisoned until the tree was
cut down. His first step on regaining his
freedom was to visit his own particular do
minion, which to his horror he found emp
ty. This, naturally, would not do, and he
set about to repeopling hell without delay.
He though the quickest plan would be to
start distillery, so he hurried off to Nord-
hansen, where his manufacture of brandy
This own invention) became so famous that
people from all parts came to him to learn
the new art and to become distillers. From
that time his satanic majesty has never had
to complain of the paucity of subjects.

Enolish Rail,cay Fatalities.


The official summary of the accidents and
casualties which occurred in 1891 upon the
railroads of the United Kingdom has just
been issued bv the Board of Trade. From
this it appears that of SOO,OOO,OOO passen-
gers carried during the year only five were
killed in accidents the smallest actual mum
Der and proportion recorded since 1875
when six were killed. The number OF pas
sengers injured in accidents during the year
was S75. OF men employed by the railway
companies, twelve were killed and lo4 IN
iured in accidents, much higher proper
ton. The list of passengers killed and
injured by trains otherwise than IN acci-
dents) is much heavier, including ninety
eight dead and 737 injured Of these, SIX
teen were killed by falling between carrIa-
ges and platforms, fourteen by falling on
the platforms or the lines, and fifteen by
falling out of carriages during the travelling
of the trains. Crossing the line at stations
was fatal to twenty three, and ninety eight
were injured by the closing OF carriage
doors. Causes other than train accidents
killed no fewer than 537 of the servants OF
companies or contractors, while more than
5000 were injured. The greatest loss OF
life occurred among the men who were
walking, crossing or standing on the line on
duty. The deaths from these causes were
l46. while ll5 were killed while walking on
the permanent way or in sidings. Shunt-
ing operations killed ninety-four. Forty
two lost their lives while walking on the
line on their way to and from work Coup
ling or uncoupling cars was fatal to twenty
four. Of outsiders, sixty-six were killed
while passing over railways at level cross
ings, and 9O6 persisted as 'trespassers. y
Suicides numbered eighty seven, and mis-
cellaneous causes occasioned death to fifty
seven. Including accidents and casualties
of all kinds, the killed were ], l6S, and the
injured 5000. These figures show that the
deaths among railroad servants and outsid'
ers are as ten to One-as compared with
deaths among passengers, and that there are
more fatalities among the class of "perma-
nent way" men than any other.
