WEST tIHGJNIl'~ BOOM.

Governor MacCorklc OF West virginia
I'm his recent message TO the Le4isiA-
turc. makes a splendid exhibit oil the
resources and Go rs'YYraen- OF that STATE.
lie says that the state is ir a splendid
condition, both financially and indus
trially. and that its growth in the iast
four years was unexampicd IN ITS
history.
"Our valleys are rapidly filing with
a good class OF population. i'Aliio''s
are being built in every direction ID the
State. The mountains are being opened
bv the pick and the shovel. The FOR
ests are being cleared Of their grown,
and the improved farms are taking their
places. New and improved methods OF
agriculture are being adopted and the
crops Of the farmers have been very Inc.
From all parts Of the Union the eyes
OF capital are directed TO our splendid
coal deposits There has been rush
from every section Of the Union INTO our
ou-nelds: and I'm the Middle West no
state can compete with us I'm our "e-lli-
Of morchantable timber. Without eN-
coption. our towns and cities have
healthy growth, new manuiactories are
being erected and new prouu''s axe
being created within the state.
such are the Governors own words.
In the production Of petroleum there
has been an increase Of from @slO"'
barrels in 1892. 10 S2l6.DO barrels in ls'o
I'm coal the output has Increased from
9.7sS.755 tons in 1892, 10 l.aS's6l tons In
1895. and the output for 1895. will DE even
larger. I'm 1892 the state had lN'6 miles
of railroad, in 1898, it had 300 miles.
In 1892 there were forty-two state banks.
with a total paid-up capital Of s2.f'o.o0'.
i'm 1896. there are sky banks with a
total paid-up capital OF S3265.ol. The
deposits for four years increased iro'9
s.. 3sI 900 10 100000.
The Governor also shows a large IN
crease I'm the revenues Of the state. and
altogether makes a most hatierng show
ing for the great state which he repre-
SCENTS.
We record these things win genuine
pleasure. We had supposed. from the
reports received from West Virginia dur
lng the late national campaign. that the
State was poyerty-stricken, and unless
free silver should be adopted the whole
Commonwealth would die % the aims

fever record was much worse than antic-

cases at Z o'clock, and at that time the

There is no abatement of the fever, and
at the same time there is no apparent
disposition on the part of the plague TO
grow any worse Cool mornings and
nights with hot days simply are keeping
at an average mark, both the deaths and
the number of new cases. Two of the
deaths of the day occurred before o'clock
this morning. The highest number of ia

nine and it looked this evening as if to-
day would run a pretty close race with the

GEORGIA WINS THE DEPOT CASE.
Tennessee Court sustRins GeOrgia's
Title to the Chattanooga Property.

Tennessee Court Sustains GeOrgia's
Title to the Chattanooga Property.
Atlanta, Ga. Oct. 23.-The state has
won in the famous Chattanooga depot
case, the property being valued at $780,,
600. The decision has just been handed
down by the court of appeals, declaring
the state the sole owner of the depot and
the ground on which it is erected. An
easement or right to the use of the depot,
however, is vested in the other roads,
who were parties to the suit. The suit
was begun ten years ago by the old East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railway
and the Nashville Chattanooga and St
Louis and Memphis and Charleston rai;-
way Joined with them. The depot was
the property of the Western and Atlantic
road. The other roads contributed to the
erection of the building, and were accord
ed the use of the depot Later they claim
ed an equal interest in the property. This
was the ground for the suit. The case
was decided in the Chattanooga chancery
court, the decision being partially favor
able to the state of Georgia.
The case was appealed by both sides,
and the decision, as recorded above, is
now handed down. In the plea made by
the state of Georgia, it was argued that
the Tennessee court had no jurisdiction TO
try a case in which this state was party.
This was denied by the Tennessee courL
of appeals, though Georgia's title to the
property is declared valid and sole.

States circuit court for an order of appeal

the constables close the agency of the Sa-
vannah firm at Bamberg. A temporary in
junction against them was obtained and
this, after argument was heard, was made
permanent by Judge Simontoh last week.
The appeal taken to-day carries the case
before the circuit court of appeals, and
from there will doubtless be carried on 20

The Ferst case has evidently been Sc

feature Of the most remarkable political
campaign New York has ever witnessed.
His army of speakers hold hundreds of

effective advocate of his cause, preaching
the crusade against poverty with the zeal
of Peter the Hermit; declaring himself an
instrument In the hands of God to better

his hearers with an ardor that makes
them in turn apostles of his radical doc

Especial Gable Letter.
Berlin, oct. 23-The meeting between the
car and Emperor william at Wiesbaden
on Wednesday last was arranged by
Prince Henry Of Prussia, at Darmstadt,
the day before 1t took place. Prior to
that there was no thought Of the czar
going to Wiesbaden, showing that the
meeting of the two emperors was of a
purely Informal and accidental character
The reunion of the monarchs was OF q
most cordial nature. At Wiesbaden, par
ticuarly, Emperor william was in excel
lent spirits and made the czar laugh re-
peatedly by telling him funny stories. The
school children Of Wiesbaden, noticing the
excellent spirits Of Emperor William, ana
anxious to view the court sights, pre-
sented themselves I'm throngs before the
castle, where they shouted in chorus.
Kaiser, give US leave from school," His
majesty was highly amused, and closed
the schools to crafty the children's
wishes. This news was received by the
children with tremendous cheers.
An article In the Nuova Autologia, an
influential magazine, published by ex-
Minister Ferraris, has caused profound
sensation i'm Germany The article is a
nor Chalia the Italian senator and histo-
rian. He advocates the formal withdrawal
of Italy from the drelbund at the expira-
ton Of the present term of that compact,
and the forming of a new zweibund be-
tween Italy and Great Britain. The writ
er demonstrates that Italys most vital
political interests are In the Mediterran-
can, and that only Great Britain can aid
her there. It is believed in Berlin diplo-
matte circles that the withdrawal of Italy
from the dreibund is foregone conclu
sion.
