Council Meeting.

At the last regular council meet
ing Mr.. Thornton Pickenpaugh was
appointed councilman in place of
Mr.. j. j. Wharton who was ineligi-
bic to accept the office to which he
had been elected. There was quite
rush for the various offices in the
gift of council but only one selec-
ton was made the rest going over
until next time. This was Sam New
man who was chosen as night po-
lice. Sam is a very quiet nnassum-
ing young man of excellent habits
and he ought to make an ideal po-
lice officer. We wish him much sue
cess.
For the position as day police
there were nine applicants and for
tax collector two, but the selection
went over until next time. We have
no preference except to hope that
the best man may be accept
ed and if the present incumbent in
any position is an applicant his rec
ord ought to speak for or against
him. If he has been a faithful com
petent official retain him, if not de
capitate him with great enthusiasm.
The position of street commissioner
has been abolished and his duties
will devolve upon the sergeant.
Whenever any improvement or work
is to be done the sergeant will re-
port to committee ON this subject
and if they decide to do it the work
will be done under his supervision.
The wages of the night police Ssas
eut five dollars month but as the
whole sum paid by Mr.. Grant for
lighting the street lamps, Sl5 is to
paid instead of only half to the po-
liceman who peforms this duty his
wages are really raised, He will
now receive $40 per month. The
tax collectorship will be bid in and
the commission is not to exceed D
per cent.

UTT-Died at the home of his
father, Morgan o. UT, on Tuesday,
January Goth, 1897, Percy UT, of a
complication of diseases, aged II
years. He was buried at Mt. Union
cemetery on Thursday. He had been
an invalid for several years and his
fortitude under his sufferings was re-
markable. He was converted at
Woodland just before his sickness be-
gan and although never uniting with
any church, lived a consistent chris
tian. He was q bright boy and his
suffering and death at the very en-
trance to useful life is peculiarly sad.
The bereaved family have the SYM
pathy of all.

THE NEW COUNTY FIGHT.
Opposition Arrives and win Contest
the Maffer-Other side Determined.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan. 81
The new county fight is now on In
earnest. Following the arrival OF
Ex-Governor Fleming come Col. C.
L. Smith, o. S. Mckinney, b. L.
Butcher, A. J. Stone, w. S. Hay
mond, j. P. Thompson, with Editor
Powell, of the Fairmont West Vir-
ginian, and Scott Meredith ON their
way and due to arrive tomorrow.
The spokesman of this formidable
delegation say that Marion county
as it now stands has certainly not
more than three hundred and seven
square miles The United States
government survey puts the area at
three hundred square miles. Sena-
tor Fast and Delegate Laishley, of
Monongalia, say that their county is
now short of the constitutional re-
quirement of four hundred square
miles, having but three hundred and
sixty-six, according to the official
surveys, which have never been
questioned. Senator Fast is in re-
ceipt of numerous and strong pro-
tests from home against the new
county project. He is giving close
study to'the question and will op-
pose it with Characteristic vigor. He
will insist, among other things, that
the statutory requirements have not
been complied with.
On the other hand the new coun-
ty men. ex-senator Furbee, Capt. A.
N. Pritchard, Thomas ID. Barrett,
A. j. Hays, j. I. Koen and Bert
Pritchard, are fighting harder than
ever in the face of opposition. They
say that with the slice of Harrison
that was to have been taken, omitted
from the new county, there is no OPP
position that need be feared. They
say they can show that Monongalia
and Marion surveys are inaccurate
and that each of those counties will
have more than four hundred square
miles after the new county is formed.
1t is not denied that Wetzel could
spare some, but the Wetzel delegates
are not inclined to let any go.
Senator Hoge. who is in that part
of Wetzel that would go into the
new county, favors the project.

Is the reaction commencing al
ready? Some weeks ago the cleo
ton in Lynn, Mass, attracted con-
siderable attention. The Democrats
carried the city by LOO majority
when it gave as much for Mckinley
in November. The non-appearance
of the advance agent" was the is
sue. Here is another case. Last
November, the voters of Clinton,
Iowa, gave Major Mckinley ma
jority of 900, A few days ago a
special election was held in the coun-
ty to fill vacancy in the legisla-
ture, when the Democratic candi-
date, ex-Congressman Hayes, was
elected by 800 majority over Mr..
Barker, Republican leader and a
popular gentleman. These bye-elec-
tions indicate the independence of
the voters and close watch on the
fulfillment of Republican prophecies
and pledges.

Recently bill was before the
House of Representatives of the
United States that proposed that
the notorious thefts and swindles of
Coils P. Huntington and his asso-
ciates in the Pacific Railroad frauds
should be whitewashed, the swindlers
pardoned and the property placed
again in the hands of those who once
looted it that they might loot it
again. All of West Virginia's Con-
gressmen voted in favor of the prop
osition for the encouragement of
theft. Here are their names: A. G..
Dayton, B. B. Dovener, j. II. Huling
and Warren Miller. All are Republi-
cans and for gold. They pranced up
and down the hastings last fall,
and at the mention of BRYAN
they would hold up their hands in
horror and declare that vote for
him would be vote for reputation
and dishonor. Yet these men bowed
down in abject subservience to the
most conscienceless, the most rapa-
cious, the most dishonest, the most
scoundrelly association of capitalists
to prey on the people that ever cursed
a nation. The bill was killed, but
that does not Tighten the burden of
guilt which those who voted for it
must bear. They are ON record as
supporting measure for the spolia
tion of the people, measure for the
conformation of theft and fraud. No
man could have supported the meas
ure without some disingenuous mo-
tive. Probably no man did.-Argus.
