CHARLESTON, w. Va, Dec. g.
Governor Atkinson on Saturday re-
fused pardon to Alex. Armstrong
and Frank Cumberland, who were
sent to the penitentiary Two years age
from Pocahontas county for highway
robbery. They were sentenced for
eighteen and fifteen years respectively,
and their friends in Ohio, believing
them innocent, have made strenuous
efforts to secure their release. Gov
ernor Atkinson has reviewed the case
carefully, and after due elaboration
was convinced they were guilty as
charged. In the event they had been
released, they would have been re-
arrested Immediately for another rob
berry in Pocahontas, which occurred a
year before the one for which they
are now paying the penalty.

DeGruyter, Of Charleston, on License.

Speaking of the discussion at the
Mayors convention by Mayor De-
Gruyter, of Charleston, ON the Ii
cense question correspondent at
Clarksburg says.
The paper of Mayor DeGruyter,
of Charleston, on the granting Of IL
censes, attracted considerable atten-
ton, and the sentiments expressed
were heartily endorsed by those
present. He reviewed the trouble
they had in Charleston regarding IL
censes and closed as follows: II
earnestly urge that all interested in
good local government without re-
gard to party or political affiliations,
make an active vigorous and con
certed effort to induce the next leg
islsture to so modify existing laws
as to free all municipalities in this
state from the obnoxious interference
and control in license matters of
county courts that do not represent
the municipalities in the matter un.
der discussion; that are seldom dis
interested and frequently corra t
and venal in their conduct in tais
regard"
This view of the case finds an echo
in the hearts Of many people. The
attitude of the county court has in
many counties aroused bitter ami
mosities which are for the good of
nobody concerned in them. A vast
majority of the citizens no doubt
favor letting municipalities having
the right to rule themselves. All
places having city charters have
that power and no reason can be
seen why the privilege should not he
extended to towns of lower civic

lures will show that the receipts
during November so far have reach

"A small brunette woman, giving
her name as Helen West, is being
held in jail here on a charge of being
an accomplish in the burglary OF a
store, supposed to be located in Har-
rison county, twelve miles from Clarks-
burg. The woman reached the city
on last Friday night over the Chesa-
peake & Ohio railroad, and registered
at the Florentine hotel at Helen
West.
She declares that she never was in
Harrison county, and says her home
is in Chicago. A dress worn by her
bears the mark of Chicago firm,
while her shoes have the imprint of
Foreman & Co., Vine street, Cfncin-
natl. She is absolutely mum as to
her real identity and is certainly an
interesting prisoner, being highly ed

John T. Reynolds swore out the
warrant for her arrest and Immediate
ly left the city after her arrest, pre-

From the Washington Post.


''There is no State in the Union
where the outlook is brighter than in
West Virginia." said Hon. John T..
McGraw, the noted lawyer and Dem
focratic leader, to Post reporter at
the Wellington. Though small in area
our resources are. enormous. We are
now in the lead of all the oil produc-
ing States and second in the output
of coal. During the great miners
strike of few months ago, Eugene
Debs, in speaking about the necessity
of getting out the West Virginia mi
ners, truly stated that it could alone
furnish ali the coal required for every
furnace in the United States and that
England could be included as we'll.
The big ocean steamships that pillow
the Atlantic get their power from.
Pocahontas coal, and official tests of
vessels for Uncle Sans navy, made to
see whether they have earned preml-
ums for speed, require it's use.
POLITICALLY the outlook is salts
factory from the Democratic stand
point. There has been strong re-
action against the incompetency OF
-the Republican State administration,
and In the elections next year, it is
nearly certain that legislature will
be chosen that will give the Demo-
Gratis comfortable majority on joint
ballot. Democrats who differed on
the money question last year will be
found working liz complete harmony
in $685."

Business Men Obtain Preliminary
Injunction Against the Fayette Gas
Fuel COMPANY.

eUNIoNTowN, Pa, Dec. 4. The bust
ness men of this place went before
Judge Mestrezat yesterday and OBJ
tanned preliminary injunction re-
straining the Fayette Gas Coal COM
pany, operating the natural gas plant
here from shutting the gas Off until
the bill in equity in the case could
be heard and decided. The matter
grows out OF the attempt OF the
Uniontown Light & Heat company,
operating the manufactured gas plant,
to drive the business men Of town to
abandon the natural gas which they
have been using for lights and return
to the manufactured gas or to electric
light. Nearly every business house
has been lighted with natural gas
through incandescent burners
The claim is made that the Union
town Light & Heat company, through
their charter, have the exclusively
right to furnish gas for illuminating
purposes, but the charter of the Nat
ural Gas company gives them this
right also, and the business men will
make stiff fight before they will
suffer their cheap lights to be taken
from them.

Judge Mason, in disposing of the
petition filed on yesterday by one

cutting attorney OF this county, with
unlawful conduct. said that the Pc
tiiion coming from the parties it did,
and at the time and under the cir

ficers Of the Court, which would not
be permitted by him so long as be

John Jones, we'll known colored
hoy of this place, has been convicted
of an attempt to commit rape upon
a little six year old girl, daughter of
u most respectable citizen of this
place. The father deserves credit
for the prudence he displayed at the
time he found out that the crime
had been committed. The trial was
speedy and the jury we're but short
time in finding him guilty. The SEN
tence has not been pronounced, but
! it will be from one to five years in
the penitentiary. Such crimes as
this will not be countenanced in any
community, and the perpetrators get
off exceedingly well if they are not
strung up at the time he commits the
act. But it is always better to al
low the law to take its course.
