What is puzzling the Committee
who have in charge the reception
to the members=elect of the new
administration, and the Legislative
ball, is how to appease or dispose
of the negro member of the House
from Fayette. If he is invited to
participate in the festivities, many
white people will refuse to attend
either the reception or Legislative
ball. If he is not invited, the Re-
publican workers are afraid the
every old devil' will be raised
among the negroes of the State.
The white people, with few except
ions will draw the color line and
refuse to attend the festivities.
The bill creating the county of
Augusta has been made the special
order for February Sd in the State
Senate, on the motion of Senator
Fast, of Monongalia. Up to this
time this bill has met with little
opposition, but from now on it will
doubtless be resisted with every
argument that can be brought
against it. 1t is not thought that
it will receive the votes of a dele
gate representing any of the coun-
ties from which territory is pro-
posed to be taken.
Delegate Collins, of Putnam, has
introduced bill to repeal the Law
requiring the publication of the
delinquent personal property tax
payers. There never was any use
for the law. 1t is a very expen-
siye luxury without bringing any
returns. IF the tax tickets of These
delinquents we're sold, it would be
different. Up here in Kanawhs
it cost over 1920 to publish this
delinquent list last year. Let it be
repealed.

CHARLESTON, Jan. 26, 1897.
a measure has originated with
the House judiciary Committee,
and introduced in the House to-
day, which viii make a ..flutter in
the camps of the physicians of this
State. 1t provides for the reyok-
ing of the license certificate of any
practicing physician who becomes
intoxicated. 1t applies not only
to the physician in the habit of
of getting drunk, but to any one
who becomes intoxicated even
once. If it becomes law it will
affect a good many eminent ply
sicians in this State, and would
cause many to lose the practice of
their profession. The better way
for physician to do, is not to
drink intoxicants at all.
The Legislature seems to be IN
the business of trying to legislate
worals for the people, and all sorts
of bills, with that end in view, are
being presented by "cranks, " SO as
to make a, show to their constit-
uents. This Legislature is not
without it's fool members.
The colored member of the
House from Fayette is much dis
tressed at your correspondent. be-
cause of recent mention made of
him in a letter in the Register.
He is a very ambitious fellow, and
is chatting because the color line
is drawn on him, by his Republi-
can colleagues. He is smart, and
all that, but is out of place in the
West Virginia Legislature, and
he sees it, and feels it keenly, too.
He is ostracised, so to speak, by
Society" and is not invited to
places where his white brethren
are. But it is not his fault he has
a dark skin. Ifhe was of the other
color he would be leader of his
party in the House.
Senate Bill No. 90, introduced
by Senator Hensley, is an impor-
tant measure affecting railroads.
In substance it provides that all
railroads which do not exceed
thirty miles in length may charge
four cents per mile for the trans
portation of passengers. All other
roads shall not charge over three
cents. Children under twelve
years of age are to be carried at
half-fare.

The Legislative ball to be given in
the hall of the House of Delegates,
will eclipse anything of the kind
ever before attempted in Charles
ton, and everybody seems to be
going to attend. The ball will cost,
it is estimated, about $1,000, and
the Legislature is expected to
make an appropriation to foot the
bill.
After this comes the Inaugural
ton of Gov. Atkinson, and this
too is to be an elaborate and costly
affair, and the Legislature is ex-
pected to make the appropriation
necessary to meet the Inaugural"
expenses. q.

Hogg, at his office yesterday. He
had just returned from jackson
county, where had been attending
to some very important legal bust
ness. We found him head-over-
heels at work, with law books piled
up around him so high as to al
most hide him from view. He
said that his work was increasing
so rapidly, that he had gotten be-
hind during his absence, and it
would take him day and night for
week or more to catch up and
get acquainted again with his
clients. just now he is engaged
in preparing an elaborate opinion,
at the request of an eminent law
yer of Parkersburg, on question
that was probably never raised
in this or any other State, and
which will be of great interest, no
matter which way the courts may
decide it.

Among some Railroad Employees.
Quite a sensation has Just come
to light instllis city well known
young man who for some time has
held quite am important position
in the Offices of the Ohio River
Railroad Co, has it is reported
and is confirmed by the manage
ment, defrauded the company of a
considerable sum of money.
The unfortunate young man who
has thus entangled himself, has
been timekeeper at the railroad
shops In this city Besides keep
ing the time of the shop employees
he has also had the keeping of the
time of the engineers and firemen
of the road.
The charge OF fraud against him
is that of padding the time of
certain fremen and engineers on
the road. and thus cause them to
draw more money than they earn
ed. These employees, who are inn
pIicated in the trouble, would di-
vide the proceeds of their dishon-
esty with him.
From Investigations it seem that
the scheme has been employed for
at least two months back proba-
bly, for longer time. For some
time there has been a growing sus-
picion that something crooked was
on hand, and the treasurer of the
road reported suspicious increase
in the pay roll for the past month
or two. The time keeper seemed
to always have more money at hand
and to use it more freely than
would seem that his salary warrant
ed, and when after the last pay day,
ON Monday, he suddenly resigned
his position and left the city leay-
ing word behind that he was going
to accept position in some rail-
way Office out west, am investiga-
ton followed with the above stated
results.
He was apprehended at Kenoya
and was induced to return to this
city, although he was not arrested.
a more complete investigation of
the matter will be made and the
management of the road declines
to state what course viii then be
taken. Henry Coffman, the young
man implicated was seen by Sen
tinel reporter, to whom he stated
that he was entirely innocent of
the charge and that it would be
found that the blame or3mistake
did not rest on him.
Four firemen. three engineers
and four of the shop men have been
discharged for being implicated in
the over charges. And there are
others Parkersburg Sentinel
