WORN MELL DONE.

a Largo Portion of the Copying Of tho
Land Grants Completed ut Richmond.
Richmond Times.
Governor MacCorkle, of West Vir-
ginia, has been rather severely criti-
cised for some Of tho appointments
which no has made. 1t is safe, how
ever, to say that the governor did not
make mistake when he appointed DR..
NJ. II. Dyer, of Charleston, state agent
OF West Virginia, to procure copies Of
the records pertaining to lands granted
by the commonwealth Of Virginia be-
fore the state was divided in the terri
tories of Virginia and West Virginia.
All the records Of the latter state are
kept in the land Office OF the capitol
building OF this city; and the state Of
West Virginia, perceiving the desira-
bility Of keeping her own records. made
an appropriation to start the copying
OF all tho land grants referring to that
state. For the past six months DR..
Dyer has been working a large force Of
clerks in the hall of the house OF dele
gates at the capitol. Owing 10 the fact
that the legislature of this state will
soon convene, the copying Of the records
had to be suspended for the next three
months. The work done go far under
the supervision OF DR.. Dyer has been
very satisfactory. and makes a splendid
showing for his energy and indus
try, for sixty-fve large volumes have
been completed in that time Fifty
ono OF them arc filed with the records,
GOO pages to volume, while the other
volumes are index books, containing
$4,000 names. Each one of the grants,
after being copied, had to be compared
with the originals before they could be
certified. A large portion of the entire
work has been completed, and DR.. Dyer
expects to return with his clerks I'm
mediatel y after the adjournment Of the
legislature to continue the work. While
the copying was being done during the
past six months, had occasion to watch
the work every day, and can safely say
that DR.. Dyer has given his undivided
attention to the work, and it is COM
mon saying among his clerks that he
sees every page that is written.
The work which has been done Is a
credit to every ono connected with 1t,
and it will be OF immense benefit to the
resident land owners OF West Virginia.
The following are the clerks who have
been engaged in the work during tho
whole time: Messrs. Thomas Haskins
Bigger, N. B. Smith, A. B. Dickinson,
Il. Ii. Watson, John A. Whitelow, John
A. Keyser, George @. sIeet, H I. Par.
ish, Pierce Loving, W. L. Burnlep, John
D. Shepporson and II. X. Roberts, while
number Of others have been employed
in the work part OF the time.

CLARKaRURd, W. Va, Dec. 2-Yester-
day was a great day in the history OF
the West Virginia Conference Seminary
at Buckhanuon. From tho very day Of
its dedication up to the last month that
institution has been laboring under the
weight OF a debt OF $50, 900, and to the
Methodists of West Virginia, to whom
the seminary belongs, the raising OF this
debt was almost Herculean task. Bat
tho task is done, and yesterday and last
night Thanksgiving jubilee was given
to celebrate the great event Many per-
sons from various sections OF the state
were present to rejoice with the faculty
and students.
The opening address in the evening
was made by the president, b. ".
Hutchinson, A. NJ, who outlined the
work already. done by the school, and
showed why West Virginia is ripe for
such an institution, declaring that the
growth OF the seminary has surpassed
that OF any other school Of the Metho-
dist church. Although only three years
old the attendance last year was over
two hundred and fifty, making II the
largest school in the state. Rev. s. X.
Arbuthnot, OF Weston, followed in an
address on West Virginia brains and
the best place to develop them. lie
was followed by Hon. Stewart +. Reed,
OF the Clarksburg telegram, who spoke
on tho great work accomplished IN
founding an institution Of this kind and
tho great credit due Prof. Hutchinson
for his part in the work. Rev. Il. d.
Evans, OF Clarksburg, spoke on the pos.
sibilties OF the young with developed
brain and christian character, declaring
that the business world 10 placing q
premium on character and education.
N. .. Tough, n student from Barbour
county, spoke eloquently on behalf oil
the students and paid glowing tribute
to the character and worth OF the facul'
ty, Judge Samuel Woods, OF Philippi,
president OF the board OF trustees, spoke
very encouragingly OF the prospects, OF
the school and expressed his abiding
faith in its great field and future. After
the speaking voluntary offering Of
about 500 was announced as received
from various parts OF the state. This
was followed by a general social rejoic.
ing. Too much praise cannot be given
to President Hutchinson tor his untir-
ing and ceaseless endeayors to liquidate
this debt, and to the Methodists OF Wost
Virginia, many OF whom have Como in
want that they might assist this great
school, whose far reaching influence
will be felt for ages. On the list Of
donors toward raising the debt, the
name OF Henry K. List, Of Wheeling,
stands at the head US the giver OF s, 800.

WASHINGTON, W. VA, Dec. 8.-Yester-
day afternoon tho citizens OF Manning
ton we're startled by terrific explosion
which occurred about 3 o'c!ock. Upon
inquiry it was found that the boiler ut
the Charlton we'll, located between
Buffalo and Monroe streets, had blown
up.
II seems that tho boiler had been out
! Of order for several hours, but it was
thought the defect had been repaired.
1t seems, however, that something was
wrong, for at the hour named II let 80
with such force as to carry 1t fifty or
sixty feet back and hurl 1t through tho
kitchen belonging to Frank Barrack,
who lives on the lot adjoining. Besides
tearing out the side of the house it
broye every pane OF glass in the house
and Jared the plastering of in other
rooms.
The furnace door was carried with
great violence across the street, tearing
a hole in the front of William Basnetts
house and alighting on the second floor
not foot away from where Mrs. W. Il.
Basnett was sitting. Some of their fur
nilure was badly wrecked and it was Il
wonderful escape for Mrs. Basnett.
The windows of B. +. Charlton's house
were badly wrecked and the stove
broken, but no serious damage was done
Several other houses in the neighbor-
hood were also injured, among them
being that OF Mira. Mary Haggerty, on
Monroe street. a portion OF the FIRE
box was carried through her roof and
knocked large portion OF the ceiling
of, besides iarring down the chimney.
Fortunately no ono was killed though
the wonder is that at least dozen were
not either killed or seriously injured.
1t seems that the only persons in
iured were two children. One was o
bow. tho son OF dunk" Dewar, the
contractor, who was sitting near the
boiler and was severely bruised and
scalded, but at last accounts nothing
serious was anticipated. The otherwas
little girl in neighboring yard, who
was Jared by the explosion, though her
injuries were slight.
The dome OF the boiler was carried
about q third OF mile and alighted in
Pyle's Fork creek. The entire boiler
was wrecked rs was also the engine
house and several outbuildings near
by. The well, which is down about
1000 feet, was one OF the first to DO
started in the corporation, and many
now say that drilling on town lots
should be stopped.

A CHANCE FOR JoBDERy.

"Under the Wilson bill ii they find a
consul in their district who knows his
business and can't be hoodwinked, they
can hunt upanother who is not familiar
with the industry, and pull the wool
over his eycs to their hearta' content.
On, whom / think OF these things it
makes my blood boil to see how easy it
is ior foreign manufacturers to fool our
rampant free traders.
"To show that the Wilson bill is the
result Of revenge, let me cite an exam
ple: Wilson says he advocates free
raw materials. When the potters put
in the plea for tariff they also used
their influence to have the duty kept
on materials. We believe in protection
for everybody. The material men
asked us to help them and We we're glad
to do it. Within the last year mines OF
fine kaolin have been discovered in
Florida, Tennessee aud Kentucky. In
the Mckinley bill the duty on kaolin,
which IL the finest clay used in our
business, Is $500 per ton. Wilson re-
ducee it TO $500. Why didn't he
knock out tho tariff altogether and be
consistent with his professional Be-
cause no would not injure southern

Cleveland's Silver Views.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-President
Cleveland, in a letter to Governor
Norton, defines his position on the
silver question by saying he wants
currency of such character that all
kinds of dollars will be at equal pur-
chasing power at home, and demon
strate our good faith and wisdom
abroad. This, the president thinks,
can only be accomplished after the
repeal of the Sherman law. He says:
81 am opposed to the free coinage of
silver by this country alone, and am
in favor of an immediate and uncon-
ditional repeal of the purchasing
clause of the so called Sherman act. !"

Attempted Train Robbery.

CoNELLsvILLE (Pa.), Sept 2S.-It is
reported that an attempt was made
last night to hold up the eastbound
midnight express on the Baltimore
& Ohio road near McKeesport. The
train carried over 100000 in cash.
The officials deny it, but the pas
sengers, who were greatly excited,
said the train suddenly stopped and
the passengers were kept back, while
the trainmen rushed to the front. 1t
is understood the officials got wind of
the proposed holdup, and sent a
heavily armed train ahead OF the
express.

WANT 70 COMPROMISE.
A Proposition Made by Phila-
delphia Manufacturers
TO THE SILVER SENATORS.
They Offer to Give Aid to the Fight
Against Repeal If the Silver Men Will
Agree to Combine Against Tariff Leg
islation-C Cleveland on Silver.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2S.-One hun
dred and fifty leading manufacturer
in this city, led by Wharton Nanker,
q well known financier, have drawn
up and signed a petition offering the
silver senators aid in their fight
against the repeal of the silver pur-
chase act, provided the latter will
combine to prevent any tariff legisla-
ton.
As over half of the manufacturers
who sigRed the paper are Republi-
cans, ana this community has favored
repeal, this new movement created
sensation in business circles.
The circular contains these three
propositions to the silver senator's:
'First-That the United States
shall admit silver bullion from Amer
ican mines to coinage in its mints
upon the payment by the owner of
seignorage absorbing three fourths of
the difference between the market
(London) price of bullion and its
vale when coined.
"Second-That foreign silver shall
be admitted only for coinage purposes
at seigniorage absorbing all of the
difference between the market (Lon-
don) price and its value when coined.
"Third-That the United States
shall invite at once a conference of
those nations of the world which
have not committed themselves to
gold monometallism. This would in
clude the nations of North and South
America, Japan and China, ard Eu-
rope, France, Russia and others.
These nations are as deeply interested
as we in resisting an attempt to in
crease the power of gold through the
degradation of the power of silver, ,and
many OF them, particularly those of
America and eastern Asia, are those
to whom we may most easily and ad-
vantageously sell the excess of our
manufacturing industries. Such a
conference would exclude England
and Germany, and at its conclusion
without them we would direct the
money policy of the world, preserve
the integrity of bimetallism, and pre-
vent the enslavement of the United
States and others by the capitalist
classes of the two great creditor ma
tions.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-Police
Officer Heller had violent struggle
today with an insane man, who in
some mysterious manner got into the
White house and was looking for
President Cleveland. The appear
ance of the officer probably saved the
president from assault. How the
fellow got inside the building no one
knew, as he was seen to go from in
front of the rear door, and he APP
peared in the hall on the lower floor
as suddenly as though he came
through the ceiling. The colored
cook, whom he met, he questioned !:
81 want to see my father"
"Who is your father?" the cook
asked.
"Cleveland, of course" was the
reply.
Just then Policeman Heller ap-
peared upon the scene and asked
what was wanted. He saw at a
glance the man was not altogether
right.
"Your father is out in the garden,
he told the mysterious visitor.
"Come with me and we will find
him."
They Immediately started towards
the door the intruder thinking he was
going to meet the president, but the
officer knew he would land him at the
watch box in few minutes.
They appeared at the little watch
box where Policeman Hible was on
duty. Before Hible knew what was
going on the prisoner grabbed his
(Hible's) blackjack from his pocket,
evidently thinking he was getting a
pistol. He tried to use the black
jack on the officers, but they grabbed
him and the struggle lasted but few
minutes before the man was OYER
powered.
At the station the crank gave the
name of Joseph Washington, but re-
fused to tell where he lived. No one
at the station remembered ever hav-
ing seen him before. When asked
what he wanted at the White house
he replied:
81 wanted that chair"
"What chair?"
"The presidents chair
ssDon't you think the president fills
it satisfactorily p
"No, / don't; and l intend to get
it by fair means or foul. Give me
the pistol and I'll show who'll get it,
id quick"
He was held for examination.
