town.
The people of Kingwood at first
mistook Captain Parker's men for
the Confederates whom they had
heard were coming. And no iufor.
nation could be obtained in regard
to the country or the roads. 1t was
not until MIR. Brown, who was still
with them, had met Sylvanus Pier
point and George Spahr. of Nor
gantown, who both knew him,
that the sesled lips of the citizens
were opened, and full information
as to roads and routes could be- east
ly secured. Captain Parker moved
down to the forks Of the road east
OF town, placed guards on both
roads and waited for daylight
Toward morning the scouts came IN
from Hackelbarney with no news OF
Importance, and when day dawned
the soldiers scattered out among
the neighboring farmers and got
breakfast. The force then moved
on down to the Fairfax ferry, cross.
ed the Cheat river, and were in
formed that the party they were
pursuing was encamped in grove
of timber near the upper end Of
Dunkard bottom.
A plan of surprise was quickly
matured. aud the soldiers hastened
up the river to carry it into execu.
tion. The fugitivcs, however, were
on the alert, and when Captain
Parker's men reached the grove IT
was deserted. There remained
abundant evidence that the party
had been there early that morning,
but had moved of mp the river. A
large detachment was Immediately
sent up BrIery mountain with in
structions To make circuitous
route and reach the river near
R0wlesburg. When these men ar
rived on the bank OF the stream
they found the wanderers HAD not
passed az, and believed they Ind
them surrounded. They started
down the river and had gone only
short distance when they came
suddenly upon the horses Of the
fugitives, all tied to bushes on the
river bank. There were twenty
nine of these horses, aud among
them was the animal taken from
Mr.. Brown, and several others af-
terward reclaimed by farmers from
Monongalia county. The laurel
thIckets adjoining the river were
Immediately searched, in hope of
capturing the men, but they could
not be found, having successfully
secretcd themselves somewhere in
the adjacent hills.
The soldiers returned to King
wood, bad dinner at the hotels.
and taking the captured horses
with them started on their return to
Fetterman. Before leaving they
reported the facts concerning the
concealed Confederatts to the mill
tia authorities at Kingwood, and
some time next morning twenty-five
of the meu we're captured in
body, by forces sent out from that
town. Shortly sfterward two more
we're intercepted near Gladesviile,
while endeaVoring to make their
way back to Marion county. The
captured men we're sent on to
Wheeling, to be dealt with by the
military authorities of that city,
and it is supposed the Confederate
soldiers in grey uniform escaped
and rejoincd their command in
Virgins, as they were never seen
or heard of afterward in this part
Of tho country.

Schools Of Preston County, West Va. !
Home rs the fragrant blossom Of
our resplendent civilization,
whose perfected fruit is the
patriot citizen. 1t is not enough
that home be supplied with all
that ministers to the needs of
the body. The luxury Of beau
ty, that fairy of the flowers.
must address itself to the soul
ere the child Of hope can grasp
that harp Of happiness. the
human heart, to thrill 1t with
the sweetest symphonies of the
universe.
Pralscworthy is every effort, how
ever aud wherever made. to
render the home bountifnl.
beautiful, blissful. Such an
effort is that OF John Lewis
Cbilds, Of Floral Park, New
York, whose incompatible Cat
alogue, for 1894, OF rare flow
ers, plants. and fruits, have
just now had the pleasure OF
looking over.
1t is now too late to attend the
great Columbian Exposition at
Chicago, but it is not too late
to send 25 cents for this great
est of all catalogues-not too
late TO learn in what way much
Of the fnirest To be seen at
Worlds Fairs may greet us ut
our own doors and smile in our
windows. Tho magicll heart
OF Nature yearns TO realize for
US, around our own hearths.
The gifts, the grandeur, tho
embellishments of every zone.
There Is much in this Catalogue to
interest, much to instruct, and
much that IL suggestive. From
affairs of the rarest of rare
efiiorcscence. which weIl.nigh
lend the incense Of their pleas
ing perfume to the pictured
pages of the Catalogue, | turn
and point to what may seem q
far-of horizon, to some OF my
readers, of possibilities. How
ever, before doing so, pardon

ments amid earth's holy Of ho-
lies--the brightest, sweetest
fiowers-lingcr long enough TO
refresh our minds with this
truism in education Environ-

Pour ferth the sounds like enchanted wine.

Turning our backs, accordingly, on

WASHINGTON, ID. c..

Well, the expected has happened.
The Senate has passed the Bland
bill for the coinage of tho sc,gnior-
ago IN the Treasury, without amend
ment, and the measure is now i'm
the hands of President Cleveland.
II was we'll known that when this
matter was first broached tho Presi-
dent thought it an unwise step To
take and so stated to members Of
Congress, but hc has been careful
to express no opinion since the bill
has been pending in Congress. and
now those wko are usually we'll m-
formed express tho belief that tho
President will, in Difference to tho
largo number Of Democrats who
voted for the bill in both House and
Senate, allow tho bill to become a
law without his signature, thus Civ
ing them the benefit OF the doubt
in his mind ss TO the wisdom OF
the bill.
The Democratic members of tho
Senate Finance Committee had to
resort to the very unusual cxpe-
dent OF asking tho committee to-
adopt resolution pledging each
member to secrecy while the tariff
bill is under consideration before
they could stop the making public
by the Republican Senators of cy-
erything said and done at the Com
mittee meetings. Since the adop--
tion OF that resolution very little has
leaked out OF the Committee room.
The Democrats on the Committee
wish, in accordance with Senatorial
custom, to reach ah agreement with
the Republicans on the COMMITTEES
as to when the bill shall be reported
and whom the Senate shall begin its
conside alton. This they have mn
to this time been unable to do, ow-
ing to the unreasonable demands of
the Republicans who act as though
they represented the majority IN
stead OF tho minority. The Demo.
Gratis will wait until next week. and
il the Republicans continue obsti-
nate will then report tho bill and
make their own arrangements as 10
when the debate shall begin. The
Democrats OF the Committee ara
still confident that the bill will be-
come law by June 30.
~
Representative Tucker, of Vir--
giDia, is happy. Ills joint rcsolu-
ton providing for an amendmeut
to tho Constitution authorizing the
election OF Senators by direct vote
Of the people will be favorably re-
ported to tho House.
~
Speaker Crisp has promised to
recognize Delegate Joseph next
Monday for the purpose of calling
up the bill for the admission OF
Il
New Mexico as State. The Re-
pnblicans are opposed to the bill
and will break quorum if IT is in
their power, in order to prevent its
passage Efforts are now being
made to have a quorum OF Demo
Gratis present when the bill is called.
IL they arc successful there is no
doubt Of tho passage OF the bill, as
it will receive the vote Of every
Democrat present.
