uted much OF the success attending the
American Flint GlasswOrkers' Union in
Its earlier years. But the story OF your
connection with the American Flint
GlassworkerS' Union would not be COM
plete without saying that the strongest
evidence that your sympathies are with

that though you long since entered
profession that placed you out OF reach
Of industrial conflict, you have still con-
;lnued your embers hip In the AsSoci-

MARTINsBURG, w. VA, Octobe 81
While there may be some difference in
the statements made by Mr.. John X.
Cowen, in his speech at Wheeling last
week and those by Mr.. +. +. Kilbourne
which have been recently published as
to the price of half hose made by the
Kilbourne Knitting Machine Company,
at this place, yet Mr.. KIlbourne will
not deny having stated publicly that he
could compete successfully with manu-
facturers of foreign hosiery st rates
given under the Wilson bill. The mills
are running on full time with large
force of hands employed, aud cannot
fill orders; in short they are simply
booming.
As to the attack made upon Col J. c.
Frazer, of this place, in connection with
those upoa Mr.. Cowen, by Republican
speakers and the Republican press, for
the so-called misrepresentation OF facts
regarding the Crawford wooden mills at
Martinsburg, the accompanying affida-
Wits are submitted to the public

Personally appeared before me, this
dav, Mr.. 7. l.. Dunn, manager and at
torney for the Crawford Wooden Mills,

made oath that they are paying one
cent per pound more for the, unsecured
wool which they use than previously to
the repeal Of the Mckinley bill, which
is equal to three cents per pound on the
secured wool.

A Republican Scheme.

Special 20 me HegiStsF.
CLARKsBURG, w. VA, November l.
Republicans in electioneering in the
country for their candidates represent
ed they opposed city charter for
Clarksburg, because that position was
considered popular. But this scheme,
while 1t may make them few votes
among persons uniformed about the
merits Of the matter, reacts with VEN
geauce against them in the town Of
Clarksburg, which is Republican by a
majority Of nearly two hundred and
where the people, irrespective Of PARTY,
favor the charter. 1t proved TO be a
more fatal issue with them than when
their candidates were found carrying
water on both shoulders, talking pro-
hibition in some localities and high liz
cense in others.

Senator WhitakSr's Feeble Effort to JUS
ufy HIs Actions far From Satisfactory.
West LIBERTY, w. VA, Oct. 20.
TO ne Edvor Of he Rsgistsr:
SIR:-Senator Whitaker's feeble ef-
fort 10 Justify his attitude in the Senate
toward the West Liberty State Normal
School is by no means satisfactory. His
artful dodge behind his public record 10
order to eYade the fatal thrusts OF
"Alumnus" avails him nothing. 1t is
private record and attitude toward THIS
school we wish TO drag to light. Or
course, he knew that be dare not pub
licly oppose or in any way cripple this
school, and knowing this, he hides him
self ia the dark, as he thinks, and 10
q clandessine manner strikes his blow.
He voted for the appropriation, but
secretly he was using his influence
against the school and wanted to see not
only the appropriation withheld, but
the school abolished. We have been
creditably informed that he said to
other members Of the Senate privately
there was no need for such school In
Ohio county, and when anUther Senator
referred to this in q speech be protested
that his private opinions should not be
publicly proclaimed by other members
of the Senate. II such is Mr.. Wbita-
ker's attitude toward this school, and
we have reasons to believe it is. the
voters of OHIO county ought to elect
him to stay at home, aud send man TO
the State Senate that is friendly TO the
school. No public interest is so near
the heart of all the people in this coun-
ty as our State Normal School. Mr. W..
says in reply to "Alumnus," 81 didn't
have much Influence in the Democratic
Senate" We are glad he didn't. II he
could have welded the influence the
West Liberty Normal School, no doubt,
would have suffered.

Coercion Their Chief Weapons.
DAVIS. October 80, 1894.
10 ne Editor Of the Reoisssr:
SR:-It is no longer 10 doubt, as to
the iutimidating methods employed by
some Of the Republican leaders Of this
town. Affidayits have been secured OF
| reliable parties against man Ia this
town who is now trying to coerce by
! intimidation and threats against voters
to vote for the Republican nominee for
Congress. a fagrant violation OF the
law has been committed by this party
now and we can prove it. We are after
other violators of the law 10 the same
line and will secure further affidavits
against another man who is in the
| lumber business and has declared TO the
voter that be would employ no man who
would oppose Dayton TO. Congress. The
majority OF our laboring men are OF
that class Of manhood who will not
permit such enrOaI hment upon the dig
nifty of an American -ia0oring man.
They will vote their sentiment without
regard TO whom it may please or dis
please.
As soon as we can secure the aftidavts
and necessary evidence on these parties
we will then publish 70 the
world through the columns OF
the REGISTER the names OF
the infamous villains who are vlolators
of the law aud we wild forward the list
Of witnesses TO the district attorney so
that proper steps may be taken in court
10 eliminate forever such entertainments
upon the constitutional rights Of our
workingmeD.
We are glad to know that our work
! iugmen are willing TO make public the
tactics employed by their oppressors.
When an indignity is committed on one
Of our loborers they all stand in, and
will vote so tighten the burden Of the
! toiling millions. NJ.

Why Their Uniforms are GRAY.

The question has often been asked
why the army cadets at West Point
wear gray uniform, while the uni
form of the army is blue. The origin
OF this distinction dates back TO the
war of lsl2-l4, when the commissary-
general of the army could not procure
the blue cloth required for Gen. Win
field Scott's brigade, and so they were
clad in gray. So distinguished was
the conduct of that brigade at Lundy's
Lane and Chippewa that when, after
the war of 1872 reorganization of
the West Point Military Academy was
made, in compliment TO Gen. Scott
and his brigade, the uniform of the
corps of cadets was changed from blue
TO gray,

Below the Lower Falls.

Al the Lower FallS, above the lime
kilns,a mile below the city, the river is
contracted to the narrow limits of
sixty feet between high banks of solid
limestone. About thirty rods below
these falls a substantial wooden bridge
spanned the stream with solidly
built stone abutnents. The bridge
was not high and was carried off as a
matter of course. The west abutment
stood uninjured through all this de-
huge of waters and wrecks Probably
owing to the depth of water here the
wreckage passed over the top Of the
structure. But two thirds OF the
eastern pier fell.
From the falls for the distance of
one hundred rods or more the stream
follows a comparatively straight
course. The banks for this distance
were fringed with growth of small
trees, the larger some six or eight
inches in diameter. For this whole
distance these trees are Frustrated,
some torn out by the roots, but the
most of them bent down parallel to
the ground. Some large oaks foot
thick were taken bodily from the
banks and carried down the stream
with the other material and lie
stranded inland.
Al the end of this straight section
where the river impinges against the
bluff and turns square to the west
| there is an acre or more of fiat land
| thickly set with large oaks. These
great trees formed barrier to the
progress of an immense pile of wreck
age which lies piled high and wide
along the upper fringe. Among these
mounds of accumulated wrecks is
everything that floats, and much that
does not: timbers; tin roofs, stripped
into shreds; planks split and broken:
boards in splinters; the remains of
wagon wheels; dead animals; sacks of
potatoes and oats; iron machinery, and
the odds and ends of everything. To
the right is a large tract of low level
land with here and there a clump of
trees. This tract of land is a desola-
ton. Lumber broken and split and
bent is strown all over this wide area
in huge piles against every obstruction
i'm an amount that would lead one to
think a city had been destroyed and
its ruins scattered over this wide
waste. But little of this wreckage
except the square timbers and the
heavy oak plank is of any value ex-
cept for starting the kitchen fire.
Heavy lumber wagons were broken
up, the wheels torn into pieces leaving
only the axle and the hubs together,
devoid of spokes and rim and tire
All along down the river as far back
as the waters flooded the land is a
scene of waste and desolation. Oc-
casionally sand and shell rock cover
the soil to the depth of many feet,
here and there are great gullies
scooped out of the solid earth. The
face of the land underwent a trans
formation
