G. A. Short !: I am opposed
to a charter. The majority of
the people of Clay district are
strongly opposed to it. We be-
lieve Clarksburg could deal with
the whiskey question 10 q better
way. and that it could put a stop
to the sale of liquor. In Shinns-
ton drummer might sell a drug
gist five gallons of liquor, but
he.could not buy a pint of 1t
without a prescription from a
physician. Men have tried 10 sell
whiskey there but the people
have shut down on it.
SIS
O.P. Boughner : l am in favor
of the charter, for the whiskey
business has for the last twenty
five years been carried on by ire
sponsible parties in an irrespson-
sible way. The issuing Of license
would reduce the number OF
liouor.sel.ers to about one.fourth
their present number. Those
who took out license would of
course be prosecuted for any
violation Of the law, and would
be all the more observant of the
law, on account of having more
at stake. The licensed dealers
would also do more than any
other class to suppress the
speak-easies. Another good fea-
ture of the charter is that it
makes the council continuous
that is, half the members hold
over, one.half of them being
elected every year.

FIRE IN PORTSMOUTH.

A series of incendiary attempts
to burn the city of Portsmouth, which
have been made several times each
night for the past ten days, eliminated
early yesterday morning in desruc-
tive confagration, which wiped out
several blocks, entailing damage of
100000. 1t started in Whitehurst
Hall, large two-story dancing hall,
on Glasgow street. The flames quickly
communicated with the buildings ad-
jacent to the hall and everything in the
block was burned. In less than TWEEN.
ty minutes after the hall had been dis
covered ablaze, the sparks had been
carried across three blocks to St. Paul's
Catholic Church, and in few minutes
that edi6ce was wrapped in flames.
When first discovered, the space on fire
could have been extinguished easily,
could it have been reached by man
with bucket of water. The entire
Portsmouth department was out, assist.
by portion of the Norfolk department..
About the same time the church caught,
another fire was discovered in South
Portsmouth, but the navy yard engine
got the flames under control, after sew
eral houses had been destroyed. In
the meantime the fire had crossed High
street and destroyed row of two-story
buildings together with St. Joseph's
Hall. The other side OF the street was
q sheet of flames.
The unprotected condition OF the city,
and the robbery of the articles piled in
the street, made it necessary to call out
the military. Hundreds of people are
homeless, but they have found shelter
with more fortunate neighbors. 1t is
safe to say that if any of the fireburgs
are caught, they will be summarily
dealt with.

The Floods.

ST. PAUL, Mar. 29.-The rivers of
Minnesota are rising very rapidly.
The Mississippi, at this point, passed
the ten-foot mark yesterday and is still
rising steadily. Water is flowing in
from the Minnesota in torrent. AS
the prediction is for warmer weather
to day it is believed the ice gorge will
break without doing any serious dam
age.
rains fell here yesterday. The Trinity
river is out of its banks and doing dam
age to property. Railroads are serious
" crippled. Three big bridges are
gone south of Dallas and numerous
washouts are reported. All trains
have been abandoned east, south and
north.
New ORLEANS, March 29.-The river
has ly reached the top of the
levees in this city and this morning be-
gan running over into Vaudeville street,
directly in front of the celebrated
French Market building. 1t is not be-.
lieved that any damage will occur to
property. An urgent request came
from Algiers, on the right bank of the
river this morning, for help to strength
en- the levees.

The kentucky Senatorial Fight.

FRANKFORT, KY. March 29.-The
Senatorial situation last night was
highly strained and it was not SO clear
to all that DR.. Hunter gained any per
mapent advantage in mis- showing Sat
urday. The DOCTORS friends are per-
haps even triae more confident than
ever, but the generally expressed be-
lief is that the forces will meet again
tomorrow with practically the same
strength and resources unchanged
since Saturday.
LEXINGTON, KY, March 29.-Ex-
Senator Blackburn yesterday said DR..
Hunter was already as good as beaten,
and had absolutely no chance unless he
could take away number of his
(Blackburn'-) supporters. This he
could not, in his opinion, do. The ex-
Senator says he does not think Sena
tor will be elected this session.
FRANKFORT, KY, March ga
close friend of Governor Bradley states
that the Governor is opposing Hunter
for Senator because he believes "that
the election of Hunter would destroy
the republican party in Kentucky
He also does not regard Hunter as re-
liable on the money question.
The fifth joint senatorial ballot re-.
suited: Hunter, IS; Blackburn, Al;
Davie, II; Boyle, 7; Stone, 1. Neces-
sary to choice, 60. There were sew
eral pairs.
The only change to-day was the
transferring of Senator Stege's vote
from Hunter to Boyle. No attempt
was made to-day to take second bal
lot.
Chairman Tompkins, of the bribery
investigating committee, has learned
the identity of the man who saws he
was offered $4,000 with which to get
two votes for Hunter. Summons have
been served and the investigation will
begin tomorrow.

The A. an. Railroad.

RALEIGH, N. c., March 29.-An or
der signed by Judge Simonton, Of the
U. S. Circuit Court, sitting at Charles.
ton, was filed here to-day restraining
Gov. Russell. of North Carolina, from
enforcing the law recently enacted in
regard to the management of the At,
lantic and North Carolina railroad.
The restraining order is made return
able before Judge Simonton at Green's
boro, N. c., April 6. The State Of
North Carolina owns majority Of
stock in the road. The law, which it
is sought to restrain Gov. Russell from
enforcing, gives the Governor power to
ask the appointment of a receiver.

MONDAY EVENING, MAR. %. 1897.

Tur DIFFERENCE between the Mayor
and the Board of Police Commission
ers having been submitted to arbitra-
ton. there is, OF course, nothing else
TO do in the case but abide by the de-
cision, as Mr.. Cleveland, in an
other case, rightly said four years
ago. But, for all that, the con-
stitution of the State, against which
a simple act of the legislature is utterly
imperative, says: "The Mayor shall
have the power to suspend or remove
civ officers. whether they be elected
or appointed, for misconduct in office
or neglect of duty, but no removal
shall be made without reasonable no.
tice to the officer complained of and an
opportunity afforded him to be heard
in his Defense" His power to suspend,
it will thus te seen, is absolute, and
without restriction, though he cannot
remore without giving the officer an
opportunity to be heard in his defense.
And that his power to suspend should
be unrestricted is common sense, as
otherwise there would be no discipline
in the police force, and such force
without discipline would be utterly In
efficient. The decision is certainly not
calculated to promote that harmony and
cooperation among the city officers
which is conducive to the wei.
fare of the community, as it does not
tend to increase the policemen's
respect for their superior officers
and their obedience to orders, and as
dereliction such as those for which sus-
pensions were made, must necessarily
continue to be punished by suspension,
the "war must be kept up"

As THE gold boilers, during the whole
of last fall's political campaign, pretend
ed that they we're actuated solely by
principle, and neither wanted nor would
have Office, the urgent, but vain, ap
peals many of them are now making for
their share of the spoils they helped to
gain, only tend to render them ridicu-
lous to all right thinking people. They
helped their republican allies for love,
and not for pelf, so they said, and sure
" they should be satisfied with pay
ment in kind.
