"ULARKSBURG MIDDLE"
Farm and Country Come To-
cather

Farm and Country Come To-
gether.
There is rather a peculiar state of af-
fairs in Clarksburg The council has de-
cided as already stated in the Register
TO omen I'D Greater Ciarksburg" and ac-
cent the generous offer of Judge Nathan
Goff. thereby connecting the ci-3 with the
new Baltimore and Ohio railroad depot.
The representatives of the Short Line rail-
road. which proposed to connect this city
with the Ohio river. and which has neccs-
sarilv antagonized the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. asked the council in grading the
streets thus dedicated. TO conform to the
grade of its road. While the council did
not accede to this suggestion, the Short
Line has many friends in this section Of
the county. and it is believed, when the
certainty of the building of that road IS
determined there will be TO trouble for it
to get the consent of the city to cross any
street. and especially so. as the object Of
the Short Line is to come right into the
heart Of the city. and build depot in its
center; which will be a competitive line
with the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
Some time ago the county court submitted
to the districts of Clark Coal Eagle and
Sardis the proposition of issuing bonds for
stock in the Short Line road and the two
former districts voted $4,000 each While
in the two latter. the country districts,
the vote was against the Issuance of the
bonds. In the meanwhile similar elections
had been held elsewhere. and, The question
of the constitutional right of a district to
issue bonds, was taken to the supreme
court. which while it delayed the action
of those interested in the Short IAne, It
has now stimulated them TO greater en-
deavors. owing to the recent decision Of
the supreme court declaring the bonds
valid The late agitation resulting in
Clarksburg securing city charter has
caused an unnecessary and unfounded tenn
porary bad feeling of the country against
the city. Persons who did not favor the
charter circulated all manner of reports.
among which was one, that If Clarls-
burg got the charter. she would cut loose
from The county. which would thereafter
have all its bridges to build" The fact
as every intelligent citizen knows is that
the charter would only permit ClarksburS
to levy additional taxes for municipal
purposes. but in nowise relieve her from
paying both county and state taxes as
before. Now the town pays about one
fourth of all county taxes. and where
one bridge is built in town, there is more
than ten built in the country. No one
ever heard of the town Directing to build
ing bridge outside Of the town or to pay
ing its part of the taxes. But now

shown himself to be since he assumed the
official ermine as Governor, sits in judg
ment upon the action Of a committee hav-
ing in charge such important business as
this committee has. it is to be regretted.
We believe this committee will try to do
their work well, and that they will and
can do it as well as the same number
would if selected by our honorable chief,
at the head of cur State government. It
may not suit him so well. There is no
use for the committee trying 20 do this
work in ten or fifteen days; it has too
much scope and is too important. Three
TO four months is scarcely sufficient time.
Bring the work up TO that state Of perfec-
ton that it will give us a constitution
that will compare with that of any State
in the Union. The cost amounts to moth
ing, compared with the good that will
come to us from a well framed, modern
fed constitution.

bridge is asked to be built in the city,
across Elk creek to connect the city with
the new Baltimore and Ohio railroad depot,
and objection outside of the town is at
once made from every direction. The
county court called a special session for
last Saturday to take action in the matter.
Those opposing the project took advan.
tage Of seven or eight columns Of the local
papers appearing the day before the county
court met to give the reason why the court
should not build the bridge over the nom
de plumes" such as these: Landowner"
Temperance" "A Tax Payer" Short
liner" pill" etc. etc. The Telegram
very ingeniously placed at the head OF
each column of these articles the word
advertisement" and in its editorial pos
lively says that the entire space used
was bought and paid for TO be used as
such" and that the letters signed Tax
oayer" etc. etc, were not received by
the editor as special communications over
genuine signatures but are a part of the
matter furnished for the advertisement"
II is needless to add that when the paper
appeareG. the word advertisement
caused no little Indignation among the OPP
moments Of buildf,g the bridge, and some
saw the less religious of them did just
little "cussing" When the county court
convened but two of its members were
nresent. and there was no action in the
matter The members present were then
asked TO sign a call fixing future day for
the consideration OF building the bridge
over Elk creek, but one of them refused TO
sign the call, and consequently no one
will know whether the matter will ever
get the consideration of the court until
the absent member either signs or refuses
to sign the call. In the future we VIII
give the Register the result of the matter.
There is no necessity for this bad feel
ing. The interests of the country and the
town are identical, and each should help
to secure the others prosperity. If the
county refuses TO build the bridge, it Will
be built by private enterprise, and paid
for by toll system.

yond human aid and with no chance of
being supplied with more food is no pIeas-
ant experience. l hardly believe that the
men will sJarve or freeze to death, but
their condition is not to be envied. The
rescue of the men from the floating ice-
berg by the crew of the steamer Thrasher
was thrilling. In a few hours more the
entire sixteen men would have frozen To
death or taken their own lives through
sheer desperation. II is an easy matter
for the mind 10 lose its balance when
placed in such hopeless predicament.
by July food will be sent the men, but
the question is. will they be able to subsist
on extremely short rations curing the in
tervening months. Their condition is
hardly to be believed, but the parties who
had the gold fever and were able to get
very far north are also in a peculiar posi-
ton, to say the least. The outlook in the
whole Klondike region is hard to be
prophesied. Hunger, cold, misery, and
possibly death to many, is putting il

RIOT OF GREEK Volunteers.
Being Cold and Hungry They Seek
food and RGimsnt in the
Shops of Athens.

BRINDISI, ITALY. Oct. 2S-A dispatch
from Athens, which the censor there re-
fused to allow the operators to send, says
that great excitement prevailed at the
Greek capital on Monday. Several hun.
dred volunteers, the message continues,
invaded many of the shops of that city
and seized clothing and food. The shop
keepers resisted, some of them using arms
in so doing. This caused a panic. All
the shops in the town were hurriedly
closed and finally the rioters were dis
persed by strong patrols of troops, who
succeeded in arresting the ringleaders.
The rioters defended their conduct on the
ground that they were cold and hungry.

ounces OF gold, but it belongs to the COM
pauy. The value of the metal is some
thing over $40, 0,000-a nice little fortune
to be divided among several miners; but
it was all paid into the company for food
and supplies, believe.
I'VE had but two passengers on the trip.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ducas, who left San Fran
cisco several months ago with an expe-
dition on the Mare Island that was towed
to St Michael by the North Fork The
Mare Island was unable to get up
the river, and in consequences a
aiority of the party she carried will
winter in st. Michael. Forty of the party
deserted the ship some time ago and re-
turned to Seattle on the Novarro. Hun
dreds and hundreds of people who are
struggl ng TO get to the gold fields are
wintoring at st. Michael. l may go TO the

Tina: fellow Joaquin Miller is the big

about | read his letter where he said
that there was plenty of grub at
Healey's. Why some of the men that
came to St. Michael with me said
that they could not buy any provisions
there at any price. To hear him write
ABOUT the acres of bacon would make a
man who knows anything a bout the con.
dItion of affairs there sick. He ought to
be kee,-hauled.
''All this thing about there being piles
of gold there is all bosh. OF course there
is lots of gold around the KIondike, but
all the claims are taken up and il will take
a whole lot of money to buy in there.
Some of the men who came down
with US from Fort Yukon to ST. Michael
had been in the country for three or four
years, and none of them had more
than $1,000. A great many specu-
lators have been buying ap what
nuggets they could from the miners, and
they will use them when they come here
and to other places to boom Minook
Creek. ANY man who takes hold of any
proposition on that creek will most surely
get his fingers burned"
The captain also said that there would
be some suffering at st. Michael among
the tenderfeet who left here on the Sou h
Fork. The Mare Island, which was
towed up by the South Fork, is frozen in
little above the mouth of the river.
The clerks, bookkeepers and Others
who made up her passenger list are en-
camped on the banks. The company has
promised to house their provisions for

REDWOOD CITY, Oct. 2s.-There has
been great excitement here all day, caused
b. the critical condition of Sheriff Phil
McEvoy, whose lie is despaired of by the
surgeons. DR.. Robert Mclean of San
Francisco arrived early this afternoon,
grave doubts whether the Sheriff could
survive the amputation of his left arm.
The presence OF the criminal responsible
for his fathers death and for the Sheriff s
critical condition incensed the people
more deeply as the day woIe on. Staid
business men assen bled in the streets in
nervous groups, and their stern visages
bespoke the depth of their emotion. 1t
was decided to hang Flannelly if McEvoy
died. Many prominent citizens knew the
common thought, for there was but one
sentence on every tongue, Hang him"
A we'll known attorney said tonight,
"Had McEvoy died this afternoon moth
ing could have saved Flannelly." About
O. clock it looked as if nothing could stem
the tide that had set in for the murderer's
life. Men crowded the streets and talked
of nothing but lynching. They crowded the
entries to the Jail and eagerly inquired
concerning the Sheriff's condition. If
some ebody had whispered Phil is dead'
the town would have been transformed
into vigilance committee in fifteen min.
utes.
When the public pulse was at the stage
thus depicted a prominent citizen went 10
Under Sheriff Mansfield, who is guarding
the life of the murderer who tried TO take
his, and said:
Joe, you know what the people want.
Now, what will you do if the best citizens
in our town ask to see the murderer"
The officer replied as he nursed his
wounded arm: II must protect the pris-
oner at all hazards. just as Phil would do
now if able."
DO you mean to say you would endan.
ger the lives OF our best citizens to pro-
long tnat of the infamous criminal you
are guarding?
81 would do my duty and protect the
prisoner at all hazards" was the laconic
reply.
1t was then that consultation was held
with Mansfield, who agreed to help spirit
the wounded prisoner away to San Jose.
B. 4. Rankin, an ex.soldier noted for
bravery, and Deputy Constable Fred
Desirello were chosen to take Flannelly
in an old spring wagon and make the
dash for safety.
Ata given signal the Chief of the Fire
Department. turned in an alarm for the
