A Sketch OF One OF Our Prominent. Infiu-
entail and Successful Citizens.

We here attempt a brief biography
of one Of our leading and most promi-
nent attorneys now practicing at this
bar. An introduction is superhuous
and entirely unnecessary, for Mr..
Flick is highly thought Of, and well
known throughout the State. He was
born in Bedford County, Ohio, on the
Oath of February, l841. He received
his entire school training in the public
schools of Cuyahoga County, Ohio.
He then attended Hiram College. the
same Institution in which President
James A. Garfield was student.
Whenthe rebellion broke out he readily
enlisted to serve his country, and in
1861. he entered the 4lst Ohio Volun-
teer Infantry, commanded by Gener-
al Hazen. In the battle of Shilo,
April 7th, 1862. he received a wound
in his left shoulder, which partly dis
abled him for the time being. He was
on the recruiting service for short
time, receiving his final discharge in
1862.
In 1865 he graduated at the Ohio
boldle Law kSHOOl, at 1ICNCldnd. 10y
his integrity and industry he was
heartily supported by the people in the
practice of his profession at Morefeld,
w. Va. In 1868 Mr.. Flick was elect
ed to the legislature, also in the fol-
ing year. AT the session of 1870 he
offered the ''Flick Amendment, which
was adopted. For number of years

HON. ALEXANDER PARKS.


A sketch of an Enterprising and Infu-
entail Business Man and Politician.
The subject of this sketch is thor
bugh, active and energetic business
man, who for years has done much for
the interests Of our corporation. Mr..
Parks is a native of Baltimore, Md,
and was born in 1847. In 1850 his
parents moved to Philadelphia, Pa.
HE was educated there and graduated
from the Central High School Of that
city. In 1868 he settled in Martins
burg, being engaged in the milling and
grain shipping business.
In 1856, in order to meet the de.
mands Of the trade, he purchased what
was known as the Flagg Mill proper
ty, and at once converted it into a
modern full roller process Touring mill
In 1887 he erected the grain elevator,
situated at the corner Of Spring and
Commerce streets, on the line Of the
B. & o. R. r. This large grain ele-
vator was much needed, to provide for
the fastincreasing production ofwheat,
and other cereals of Berkeley County,
md the owner, Mr.. Parks, deserves
much credit for his successful oper-
ation of it.
During this time although closely
Engaged in these business enterprises,
claiming that it is the duty of every
citizen to devote proper attention to
bubble affairs, and to advocate princi-
pals Of government that were thought
to be right, he has therefore taken an
interest in politics.
In 1877 he was elected to the City
Council of Martinsburg, and in 1878,
was elected City Treasurer. He found
the city finances in complicated con-
dition, the bonds being almost unsafe
able, and large overdue floating
debt.. On June Is, 1878, he offered a
resolution looking to the re-organiza-
ton of the city finances. A meeting
of bond holders and creditors was held
July 10 and oath of that year, at which
time the bond-holders agreed to reduce
the rate of interest on their bonds,
from eight to five per cent, and extend
the time for payment of overdue inter-
est from one to twelve years, SO that
one-twelth of the same should fall due
ANNUALLY. BY reason of these meas
ures, the finances were once more
placed upon safe basis. and the city
credit restored. Mr.. Parks served as
Councilman period of four years.
In 1882, he was elected by the Demo
cratic party as Chairman of their Coun-
ty Executive Committee, and served
them in that capacity period of eight
years.
In 1890, he was elected to the State
Senate from the 18th District by a
handsome majority. He attended the
session Of 1891, and was made chair
man Of the following committees I'M
migration and Agriculture Labor,
and Enrolled Bills. Mr., Parks intro
duced and secured the passage of the
following Senate bills, and their final
enactment: To authorize the county
of Berkeley to fund at lower rate Of
interest 500, 100000 Of its bonds to
amend and re-enact sec. j, chapter II /,

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. There is prac-
tically no change in the situation in In
diana The result is still involved in
donbt, and both sides claiming triumph
of their electoral ticket and state officers
by good round plurality. The Peoples
party chairman places the Populist vote on
the state at 1880. The Populists claim
fifteen members Of the Legislature and that
they viii hold the balance Of power in that
body and dictate the election of successor
TO Senator Turpie.
The Prohibitionists claim their vote will
be Is, 600 in the state, which is probably
5000 in excess of what they will receive.
The Prohibition and Peoples party vote
are quantities that give TO the situation an
element of great uncertainty. Comparison
of the vote tomorrow will be based on the
vote of 1890, when the Democratic state
ticket was elected by 1900 plurality.
There are 2, 800 precincts in the state and
to overcome the plurality OF two years ago
the Republicans will have TO gain an aver
age of nearly seven votes to each precinct.
