SENATOR MORGAN IN WEST VIRGINIA
Voters Eager to Learn All They Can
on the Money Question.


Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
HARPER'S FERRY, w. Va. Sept. 1.
The political pot in Jefferson county will
begin to boil at Morgan's Grove near
Shepherdstown tonight. when Senator Nor
gan will begin the free silver campaign for
Bryan and Sewall. Present indications in
this county are that the political situation
is considerably mixed and there will Re
a great amount of scratching at the polls
In November. While news from the mining
and manufacturing districts of the state
indicates that Mckinley and Hobart will
poll Large VOTE there Is some doubt just
how the vote Of this section will be cast
There are great many free silver follow
ers here and throughout the county, but
they are all willing to listen to what is said
on both sides and be convinced. More in
terest is conferred in the state than in the
national ticket just now, especially by the
democrats, who are anxious to GUST tho
republicans, who are fast getting hold of
the state election machinery. Among those
who even favor free silver some are to be
found who say they will vote for Mckin-
ley, for they favor a protective tariff of
the Mckinley kind and are of the opinion
that the best interests Of the state de-
mand protection to its industries far more
than the free coinage Of silver.
Col Forrest W. Brown, states attorney
for the county. who was talked of the
democratic candidate for governor, will
participate in the Morgan's Grove meet
ings this week and Will address the voters
on state and national issues. He has trav-
eled through the county during the past
few weeks and has also been in other Sec
tons of the state. From personal obser-
vations he says he thinks the state and
legislative tickets of the democracy are
certain to win. except in the first district
where the republicans may have a ma
jority. So far the national ticket is con-
cerned he is not 50 certain. And a great
many silver democrats about here share
his opinion. But there are not many silver
republicans in the county. SO most of the
politicians say. and most Of them expect
the county will do no more for the de-
mocracy than 1t has done heretofore In
fact, it is thought that there may be
enough gold democrats voting for McKin-
ley to cut down the usual democratic vote
several hundred

that causes some people to suspect that
the missing man has possibly met with
foul play. while others think he had mo-
tive in leaving so suddenly, without taking
his valfse with him. In his valiSe he had q
pair of trousers of blue material and fine
white stripe. They had the appearance OF
having been worn about the river by an
angler. while two white shirts were very
much soied as II they. too. had been worn
by an angler. for they were actually sat
urated with mud Besides some undergar-
ments. there was a small bottle of whisky
In the valise. such a bottle as one would
carry for medicinal purposes; a shaving
outfit. fishing reel. cotton. thimble and
needle and a few other small articles.
The Clues Are Scanty.
When he left the house Monday morn
ing he said he was going fishing although
he had no rod nor did he take his reel with
him. 1t was nowhere near train time
when he left and Mrs. Trail. thinking he
was UP the river fishing. was not alarmed
when he failed to return to the house in
time for dinner. He may have gone up
the Potomac or Shenandoah rivers pros
pecting. but If he did no one here is able to
tell II. No one remembers having seen
him go on the train. and If he left here
IN this way he managed to get away I'M
noticed. But there was no reason appar-
ent why he should have gone off In this
way. His board bill had been paid in full
and he had had no trouble of any kind
here. Had he committed suicide by jump
Ing in the river his body would. In all
probability, have been discovered before
this time.
From the fact that the missing mans
linen was soled In the manner in which IT
was it is evident that he had been fishing
at some other place along the line of the
river. and it may be that some of the riv-
ermen may give Information about him.
The disappearance Of this young man re-
calls the case Of the Rev. DIR. Friday,
Lutheran minister, who was 80 well known
here and who disappeared one night about
ten years ago. He had been across the
river on the Maryland side of the river to
perform marriage ceremony. and his
failure to return home that night caused
some alarm. An investigation resulted in
the finding Of his body In the canal. He
had been robbed and thrown overheard
Not since then has there been any sudden
disappearances from this section. and the
local authorities will do all they can to un-
ravel the present mystery.

IIARPER'S FERRY, w. Va, September
1.-The mysterious disappearance of the
young Washngtonian from Mrs. Trails
boarding house here three weeks ago Is the
talk of the town, but no one has succeeded
IN getting the slightest clue to the missing
mans identity or whereabouts. Mrs. Trail
still has his effects at ner house, and she
is somewhat alarmed over his continued
absence. 1t is true that he was a stranger
to her. al was only in her house about
two days, but he seemed such a perfect
gentleman that she is now interested in his
welfare. 1t was three weeks ago last Sat
urday that he came here from Washington
and called at Mrs. Trails boarding house,
saying he wanted to stop there few days
and rest himself. During the course of
conversation he mentioned his name. but
as he failed to register, and Mrs Trail
does not remember his name, there Is not
even that clue. People about here know,
however. that he came on the Washington
train. and said he had come from that city.
He was quiet and geutlemanly, and had
but little to say to any Of the boarders.
Sunday he attended services at one of the
churches and remained about the village
all the afternoon.
He was blonde. apparently thirty or
thirty-tive years old. and was well dress
ed. wearing a handsome gold watch and
chain. His suit was of a gray mixture and
he had large roll of bills. IT is this fact

A S25.OOO Blast.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
HAGERSTOWN, Nd, September IAN
interesting Law suit which involves a
claim of $4,000 against the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, is to come up in the court
of appeals tomorrow. and the case is be-
ing watched very closely by lawyers here
because Of the legal problems the court
will have to s,lve. The case is three years
old, the suit having been brought COR
damages sustained while the railroad COM
pany was building the big tunnel through
Maryland Heights, opposite Harper's Fer
ry. During the progress of the work con-
siderable blasting was done. and A. S.
Rau. Harpers Ferry butcher. who was
driving along the road at the foot of the
mountain. was injured during one of the
blasts. He was on his way through the
country serving meat to his customers,
when a large rock rolled down the noun
tain. dropped in his wagon and badly in
jured him. When he recovered sufficiently
he entered suit against the company. The
case was heard in the lower court and a
verdict in his favor was rendered.
This, Of course, did not suit the railroad
company and the case was appealed. in
the meantime, 1t is said. the railroad COM
pany made an effort to compromise The
suit, but it's offer was declined and now he
case may soon be settled.

Matter of Pensions.
At TIE first of this administration there
were pending 4.G0O appeals from the PEN
sion Office undisposed Of in the Secretary's
office. The current work has been kept up.
and these accumulated cases disposed Of.
Considerable friction was caused for
while by the effort in the pension office TO
bring the administration of the act of June
q, 1850, down to the terms of the act
applicable to disabilities. and to remove
from the rolls those improperly upon them.
1t Is said by the commissioner that this
excitement was due largely to a misappre-
hension of what was being DONE and
fear of action which was not contemplated
For over a year past the work of the bu-
reau has been moving smoothly, and cases
are being disposed of rapidly.
A distinct feature of the adminstrs ton
has been the practice of bringing the chiefs
of divisions in the Secretary's office direct
ly into contact with the Secretary daily. so
that he might keep in touch with all the
details Of bureau work.
I'm Close Accord.
He has made the positions OF chiefs of at
least four of these divisions very similar
in their character to under secretaries in
the English cabinet, and he had intended
to urge this fall an increase of salary for
these officers. with the view of adding to
the Importance of the positions and giving
to the department Immediately under the
Secretary foul chiefs of divisions, who
could afford TO devote their life work to the
respective branches of the department with
which they are connected.
The administration of the department has
been marked by the use of thorough bus
mess principles which have not only eff
fectively brought up the work. but pre-
vented in its many qualifications miscon-
duct by employees.

He Will Hereafter Reside in Washing
ton CITY.

''R. NJ. L." writing from Washing
ton has this to say, which will be of
interest to South Carolluians:
Ex-senator NJ. c. Butler, like many
other men who have had experience in
Congress, has become infatuated with
Washington, and is just now receiving
the congratulations of his friends in
consequence of his appointment as
special attorney to represent the
Cramps ship-building establishment in
this city. Gen. Butler for many wears
was member Of the Senate committee
on naval affairs and he has had a wide
experience in connection with the
ship-building industry, so that his Sc
lection to represent the Cramps is re-
garded as practical business propo-
sition from every point of view. It is
understood that he is to receive q
compensation equal to that of United
States Senator, and what is more de-
sirable to him, he will be able to retain
his residence in Washington. It is
said that since his defeat for re-elec-
ton to the Senate by Senator Tillman
he has retired from active politics, and
! will henceforth devote his best energies
TO his law practice and the interests of
the Cramps. Since Gen. Butler re-
tired from the Senate it was reported
that he would engage in private bust
ness with Senator Don Cameron. HE,
boon companion and perpetual pair
when member of the Senate. The
engagement with the Cramps disposes
OF that report, but it does not in any
manner interrupt the cordial relations
existing between the Senator from
Pennsylvania and his South Carolina
