filed and in their statements that they
knew the county was being cheated and
robbed. he asks why did they wait till
the end Of the work TO make II known
and ask for his dismissal, when pay
ments could have been stopped on an
assertion OF this kind until the facts
became known, In replying directly to
the statements of George NJ, Wise, he
says; q" do not take kindly TO the
charges OF gross negligence or corrup.
ruption, l have spent more than halt
a century in this county and have done
q great deal OF work for the public and
never before has my character been
called in question. Atcharacter for IN
tegrity and diligence Is as essential 70
my profession as Is Judgment and skill,
and l do not believe that these gentle-
men, influential as they .are, q sweep
it away with their suspiclons, 1 chal,
lenge them to the proof of one act OF
mine in the construction OF these pixies
involving moral turpitude,"
He then says the masonry work on
the pixies ia substantial work, and that
It will bear inspection by any compe-
tent, unpreiudiced person, and that 1t
has been done at less cost to the county
than any other work Of the same char
acter done in the last thirty years, He
also states that there is money enough
to complete the pixies as planned and to
put a second coat on the Bellalre sac
tons of two OF the roads, as contem-
plated.
The commissioners did not render a
decision yesterday, nor was 1t expected
they would, as the compliments want
q further say in the matter, 1t is not
known whether the commissioners will
keep on trying to unrayel the tangle or
whether it will go directly into the
courts after Yesterdays hearing, but
somebody must take II into court before
the judicial Investigation can begin. 80
far it is haphazard charges and denials
only.

A measure to Pay the West Virginia Volun-
teers tho Money They Were Promised.
Special DiSpdtch to the IRteltCeneer.
CHARLESTON, W, Va, Jan. Sl.-Mr.
Edwards, OF Kanawha, introduced a
resolution to-day whereby the commit
tee on military affairs are directed to
prepare a bill for consideration OF the
house, providing for the creation OF a
commission of three, two OF whom shall
belong to a difCerentpolttical party from
the other, who shall be known az the
volunteer militia service commission,
and whose business it shall be to take
evidence as to who served in the volun-
teer militia in 1861 when called out by
Governor Pierpont, the period Of serv-
ice, ETC., and to those whom they find
Untitled to it they shall give an order
directing tho state to pay to the payee
named the sum Of money he is entitled
to. These men who periodically came
out at the governors call in 1851 to de-
fend the state were promised q bounty
and regular pay by the state, but have
never been paid, or only partially paid,
for their services, anfit Gems no more
than right that the state should now
recognize her Just obligation to these
mon. At the time OF service they were
state and not United States troops.
They were never paid by the United
States nor can they recover any pension
for injuries received. Their only re-
source is their state, which, by their
patriotic response to- Governor: Pier
points call, they wore powerful instru-
ments in creating.

posed to amend by substituting 'every

his reason very lucldly. Mr.. Wicken-

to that branch OF business. He said in

night on getting thicker and more dan
gerous to the craft lying at the public
landing,
At o'clock in the morning the river
reached the highest point 20 feet 9
inches, and shortly after commenced to
fall, the ice at this time coming down
in larger quantity than ever, The

The wheels, however, would not move

piled, but none with success. and the

this she returned to her harbor at

very bad, and they will be compelled to
lie In their present berths until another
rise will float them off. In the mean
time they will BIO lacked up, so that
they can rest easy and without injury.
The weather remained warm enough
all day to be ominous, and last night
considerable rain fell. A cold wave has
been predicted tor several days and

The Waterbury Board of Trade. to
Act on ThurgdaY.

The Waterbury Board of Trade, to
Act on Thursday.
WATERBURY, July 25.-Lewis A. Plat,
secretary of the board Of trade, has 1e,
ceived from the New York board of trade
and transportation a request signed by
Darwin R. James, president, and Aaron
Vanderbilt, secretary, that the Waterbury
board inset and take action OF the sher,
man silver law, and decide as to sending
two delegates to meeting of commercial
bodies in Washington about September /.
In accordance with this request meet
Ing of the board of trade has been called
Thursday evening next. The request SAYS:
"The New York board of trade and
transportation, while believing that the
true policy of the United States at this
time Is to repeal the purchasing clause of
the Sherman law, nevertheless believes
that silver should be restored to its
proper place and use as money among
the nations. To this end this organiza-
ton has heretofore worked, but since the
action had by the British India council,
there seems no sound ground upon which
to stand except the repeal of the so-called
Sherman law. Holding this view and also
believing that true expression of the
business interests of the country can best
be had through general convention rep
,resenting as fully as possible all interests,
and that from such general convention
held in Washington during the special ses-
sion of congress the BEST results for all in
terests can be obtained, it is the purpose
and wish of the New York board of trade
and transportation, If the convention be
held, to secure as full q representation as
possible of both sides to the pending con-
troversy.
'To this end this circular is sent to LOO
commercial bodies in all sections of the
United States. If, therefore, either side
shall fail to promptly forward to us their
action and 1t shall be wanting in the final
printing of resolutions, or, In representa-
ton at the convention, If it be held, the
sole responsibility will be with them
