Mr.. N. B. Harvey has abandoned
his old mine, "Keystone," and has
opened a six foot vein on his farm.
A few more discoveries of this kind
will have a tendency to make plenty
of work.
The Shook Shop school is pro-
crossing very nicely under the man
agement of Miss Emily F. Hamlll.
We noted the illness of Mrs.
Eliza White two weeks ago.
She passed over the river of Death
on Friday evening, the 18th. Her
last days were her happiest. She
left the testimony that she would
join the loved ones gone before.
Her remains were laid to rest IN the
family cemetery on the farm of J.
Nj. White. The deceased was in
her SSth year. She was kind,
loving wife and mother and true
friend and neighbor; always kind
and true to all. The pail bearers
were Henry Thompson, j. G. c..
Riley, 7. X, Harvey, Elisha Arou-
holt, b. F. Harvey, and j. j..
Thompson.
Those on the sick list are Elmer
Harvey, Ned King and Mrs. s. G..
Steyer. Mrs. Stever is very i'll.

Progress of LEGISLATION

People who are crlticlsing the
General Assembly on account of APP
parant delay in legislation should
remember that the task laid out for
their representatives, at the present
session, is not of small proportions.
Necessarily the Elections and As
sessment bills are very voluminous
and require much time for proper
and careful consideration. Bills
on these subjects, differing in form,
and to some extent in substance,
are pending in both the Senate and
House of Delegates, and each House
will probably pass its own measures.
Then will come disagreement and
conference committees, and 1t is
important that all the provisions of
the bills should be carefully studied
and thoroughly digested before
submission to such committees.
The Republicans, we believe, may
be trusted to put the reforms they
have promised, into the measures
they will pass, but the ocratlc
Senate may block the way by insist
ing on changes to which the House
cannot consistently agree, In that
case the Senate must take the re-
sponsibility Of defeating legislation.
We incline to the belief, however,
that no serious division will take
place, and that elections and assess
ment bills will be passed.

A Foolish Joke.

Some Republican papers are say
ing very complimentary things
about the supposed candidacy Of
Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania, for
the Presidency. Of course the
whole thing is a joke. 1t cannot
be that any man seriously thinks
the Republican party would stultify
itself by nominating a mere selfish
politician who has never shown any
signs of being even an average
statesman, for the exalted office of
President of the Republic. His
nomination would certainly be
followed by the same calamity that
followed his nominotion of Della
mater for Governor of Pennsylya-
MA. The ticket would be so cut
that a Democratic victory would
be almost assured, especially If the
Democratic party nominated one of
their few statesmen. The nominee
must be clean man and q man
with great deal more ability than
Mr.. Quay has ever shown. In one
particular perhaps, he would be a
successful rival of Mr.. Cleveland.
He could spend as much time duck
shooting and fishing in the south.
We regard the talk about the
nomination Of Governor Morton. of
New York, as Il little wiser than
that about Mr.. Quay. While we
regard Mr. Morton as very much
ADLER and less Objectionable man
than Mr.. Quay. he is too old for the
office, and, while he makes q pretty
good Governor of New York. he has
hardly shown the ability necessary
to fill well the Presidential chair.
When we have such an abundance
of good timber there is no need to
take anything second class for the
place, nor would it be wise to do it.
Reed, Mckinley, Alison. Elkins
and others will afford us plenty of
room for choice. 1t would not be
unnatural that our own first choice
should be Reed but we could cordi-
ally support either of the other
gentlemen named If he received the
nomination, but it would be very
bitter pill TO have to support Quay,
Platt or Cameron.-Keyser Echo.

0. |. G. continues to hold up our
teacher before the public in spite Of
her circumstances. He had boas-
ted of being 1.-THE people," of en-

but that became obnoxious even to
himself. He then boosted of the
teachers qualifications, and he
continues to boast of the same. We
believe our teachers are generally
well qualified for the arduous duties
devolving upon them, but we would
like to ask what 0. /. G. knows
about the qualifications of any
teacher. UNOME.

Mr.. ChaddertoE told him to go IN

luton offered by Senator Hoar, calling
upon the president for any further infor-
nation in tho possession Of the state de-
partment relating TO the Cuban situation,
particularly with reference to the effect of
the war on American interests. The
message will show that the property Of
American citizens in Cuba has boon dam
aged and destroyed by the operation Of tho
insurgents and of the Spaniards 10 the ex-
tent Of about s3O 000,0
Secretary Olney has had prepared for
transmission 10 tho senate with this mes
sage mass of documents, which will coy-
er all the state department correspondence
with tho United states consuls in Cuba
since Feb. 1, when tho last message on
this subject was sent In.
The American citizens in Cuba have
boon filing their claims with tho United
States consuls during the last fow months,
and they have been coming in at tho state
department at the rate Of one or two day
recently. The claims arc for all kinds Of
damages inflicted on the property and
crops Of American noncombatants. They
are for the destruction of crops, machin-
cry and buildings and the seizure of horses,
cattle and all kinds Of domestic animals
and fowls. which have been taken by the
soldiery Of one side or the other. The
Spanish soldiers have committed at least
as many OF the minor depredations as the
insurgents, II not more, and their meth
DDS have been even more ilagrant. The
larger amount of the claim has resulted
from the destruction Of sugar cane.
Tho bill which the United States will be
called on TO render on behalf of It's citizens

it IS an insurrection only that exists IN the

Attempt on the Life of United States Con
sui Hall In Puerto Rico.

NEW YORK, March 90. The steamship
South Cambria Of the New York and Puer-
to Rico Steamship company, which has
just arrived from St. John, Puerto Rico,
brought news that an attempt was made
on the life of United States Consul J. d.
Hall by Spanish soldier at st. John
March 4 last.
From what could be learned from Felix
Taussig, one Of tho South Cambria's pas
sengers, it seems that Consul Halls resi-
donoe adjoins the Spanish prison in that
city.
March 4 last the consul was fred at by
a Spanish soldier from the prison wall,
but fortunately he was not struck by tho
bullet. which whizzed by close to the con-
sul's head. The shooting created excite
ment, and Consul Hall has writton homo
by the South Cambria to the state depart
ment at Washington, giving full report
of the attempt on his life.
it was reported that the shooting was
accidental, and that the soldier was firing
on an escaping woman prisoner.
Passenger Taussig says it was a deliber-
ate attempt on the life Of Consul Hall.
The news that the United States congress
was moving toward a recognition Of the
rights of belligerency for the Cubans
reached st. John March and caused con-
siderable comment.
