About Two Helpless Women.

Which Vents Itself in Published Canards
About Two Helpless Women.
ALLIANCE, Dec. 21-[ Special 1.-The de-
velopment that the alleged fortune left to
Miss Della Speakman by a wealthy wild
over of Minerva, because she bore the
same name as his dead wife, was a cruel
hoax, involves some facts that are quite as
remarkable as the story in question. Peo-
pie called to congratulate Miss Speakman
and the members of her family on her good
fortune, but the poor girl and her people
were alarmed and incredulouA
They knew 1t was but renewal of the
attacks from which the family has suffered
much at the hands of some unknown enemy
or enemies during the past five years. The
most outrageous deceptions, calculated to
hold them up to popular ridicule, sprung
upon them in all sorts of guises, even to
bogus announcements of death, have been
practiced on this inoffensive family. The
mother of Miss Speakman has been attacked
by unknown assailants, the house in which
they live has been entered and the most
shameless vandalism resorted to, and at
last, when some church funds were being
kept in the house, they were stolen and
concealed, not taken away, until during the
inevitable scandal that followed another
party happened to discover the hidden
money. This public announcement of this
mythical legecy, which was published in
the newspapers all over the country, is the
latest effort of the prosecutors.

in that chair, not excepting ''your Uncle
Jerry" Rusk.
Right here comes in Wisconsin again.
The stampede of that State to the Democracy
renders it certain that the Democrats of the
Commonwealth of Wheat" will demand
recognition by Cabinet appointment, and
what so natural as that they should ask for
the Agricultural Department? The great
Northwest must be represented, and Wis
consin is to Democrats the greatest portion
of the great Northwest. Don't count out
Wisconsin, when you are amusing yourself
with Cabinet making.
New Opponents to Quay.
Representative Dalzell returned this
morning from his journey to the funeral of
Senator Gibson at Lexington, KY. He had
nothing to say in regard to the Senatorial
question either as to the candidacy Of
Graham, or the announcement of Hon. John
Cessna, of Somerset, that he would oppose
Quay and support DalzelL The letter Of
Cessna caused considerable gossip among
the many who knew that gentleman here,
and 1t is reported that his action will be
supplemented by that of number of men,
bers of the Legislature, who have not hith-
erto been suspected of opposition to Sena-
tor Quay's reelection. Hon. George v.
Lawrence, of Washington county, Is men
toned as one who is likely to take this
course. Senator Quay has doubtless aband-
oned his purpose Of taking Southern trip
at this time and will probably leave for his
Beaver home tomorrow evening, to remain
through most Of the holidays

rRoN A STAFF CORRESPONDENCE

FATRMoNT, W. VA, Dec q. - This
bustIing city Of the future has been termed
the key of West Virginia so far as Pitts
burg is concerned Even a carsory exam
ination will show that the designation is a
correct one. When adequate trausporta-
tion facilities from Pittsburg to Fairmont
are secured but little more will be required
to open up practically the entire interior of
the State.
With a population of scarcely more than
5000 Fairmont has paid to one railroad over
1000, 900 in freights in 3 single year. The
surrounding country is rich in the raw ma
terials which will be more in demand in
Pittsburg with each passing year as the
supply nearer at hand becomes exhausted.
The people have the most friendly feeling
toward the city which they regard as the
natural head of the entire region. They are
eager to see Pittburg business men COM
peting for large and growing trade, and
are willing to do their full share toward
making the connection one of mutual ben
