AFTER THE BIG PLUMs.
Nm Who Want 70 Be Internal Revenue Collector
Marshal and District Attorney.


Marshal and District Attorney.
In the last couple of days the con-
test for the three big Federal offices in
West Virginia-the Marshalship, the
District Attorneyship and the Collector
ship of Internal Revenue-has got to
such point that some idea can be
formed as TO the probable outcome.
As the duties of the incumbents of
these Offices cover the whole State and
the officers are nominated directly by
the President, the selection of the men
who viii fill them devolves ON the two
Senators, the Representative having
no part in it except of an advisory
character 1t has been the desire and
aim of the entire delegation in Con
gress to settle these and all other com
bats over the distribution of patronage
ia an amicable way without provoking
hard feeling and imperiling the mar
mony of the party.
The contest for the Marshalship
has been especially lively. As it
stands, the two leading candidates
seem to be Mr.. Mr. Vinson. of the
Fourth district, and Mr.. Gardner, of
Wheeling. Which of these will get
the place is as yet uncertain, but it is
understood to be practically settled
that one of them viii be recommended
for appointment as Marshal, the other
to be given the deputy marshalship I'M
der him. 1t is hoped by this division
to satisfy both parties and make each
end of the State feel that it has beeu
treated fairly. AS to the district At
torneyship it is believed the Senators
have reached an understanding to
recommend that Gen. C. c. Watts be
restored to the position, from which
President Harrison so summarily re-
moved him in the spring of 1889, be-
tore his four year term was much more
than half completed.
1t was for time thought that Mr..
w. E. Chiffon would take this place,
but that gentleman decided, it seems,
to accept instead the Secretaryship of
State under Governor MacCorkle. This
arrangement renders it necessary for
Mr.. Ohley to take something else, and
it is believed he will be pushed for a
position in Wa S h ington, The
Collectorship contest does not appear
to be as fully settled as the other two,
but the probabilities are that it will go
TO Col. g. E. Gilkeson, of Hampshire
county. Col. Gilkeson is backed by
Representative Wilson, whose desires
will naturally have great deal of
weight with the new administration
as they have with the Senators.

Will Award Contracts.

by the travelling public cannot be ex-
celled

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company will in few days, award
contracts for the construction of 2, 200
freight cars and about 200 excursion
cars. Bids have been received from
almost every section of the country.
The recent high water left the Ohio
River Railroad in pretty bad condi-
ton. Although the water was not
over the track it was under all the
trestles and caused a great deal Of
damage in this way. Many of the
trestles are in dangerous condition,
but large force of men are at work
and everything will soon be in shape
again.
In 1888 an exclusion train on the
Ohio River railroad collided with a
hand-car, killing VIM. Gregory. His
administrators soon after brought suit
agains the railroad company, and were
awarded $4,000 damages in the Circuit
Court of Tyler county. Thursday,
February 9, the Supreme Court of
Appeals set aside the verdict and or
dered new trial.
The greatest sensation which has
come to the surface in railroad circles
during the past year is the announce
ment, in a semi-official way, that the
Toledo and Belt Line Railroad Com
pany. which is part of the Wheeling
and Lake Erie railroad system, will
build a line from Toledo to Montpel-
Ter, to meet the new Wabash line. 1t
is stated on good authority that the
company has its engineers going over
the ground at present.

THEY ARE RIGHT.


Clergymen of Atlanta Ga. object to modern jour-
nalism.
The Evangelical clergymen of At
lanta, Ga, object to modern journa-
lism, and have taken steps to reform
the methods by which the newspapers
of that city regale their readers. They
desire that all police and criminal mat
ter shall be excluded from the columns
of the newspapers, and have chosen a
committee to wait upon the publishers
and present their views.
And we think they are about right,
that kind of stuff is not fit to reach the
eyes of children, and children are the
surest persons to see it. 1t is parder-
ing to depraved taste to publish the
police court proceedings, and besides
it can't do any good.

under one of the cars of a south-bound
train and five box cars in the rear
piled themselves ON top of each other
in one confused mass of ruin. The
track was blockaded and traffic was
interrupted.
