Ohloans in West virginia.

WHEELING, w. Va, Aug. TO- 1881
West Virginia soil was peacefully invad-
ed by Ohio miners at three o'clock this
morning. One hundred and twenty-seven
miners from the Wheeling Creek region
over the river marched through the city
and reached the Boggs run mines just
below Wheeling at four o'clock.
The Ohio men came for the purpose of
closing down the Boggs run mine, the
only railroad mine In the Wheeling dis
trict now being operated. They an
nounce they will stay until Boggs Run
joins the strike and today 200. more from
Barton Maynard and Pascoe, other min
ing communities in Eastern Ohio, are to
join the Wheeling Creek men now at
Boggs Run. The men from the mining
towns along the Wheeling and Lake Erie
have also announced their Willingness to
participate in this demonstration, which
may last several days. With the West
Virginia strikers gathering at Boggs Run
there are now about 400 men there. In
the face of this showing of force, the
one hundred Boggs Run miners did not
show front this morning. Eight or ten
men came out, but nobody had the cour-
age to enter the mine. "A meeting. will
probably be held today, but 1t will be a
difficult matter to get the men at this
plant out. The campers are being pro-
visioned from the Wheeling Miners Aid
Store, and are prepared to make long
stay.

rolling on the sidewalk. BY this time
the neighbors interfered and prevented
the couple from continuing the fight.
Mrs Leverentz accused her husband of
selling his store to his brother-in-law and
attempting to move away without her.
Leverentz when interviewed by a
News" reporter said =:
II have been married ten years and
never had trouble with my wife until r.
Fl. Hillen, a real estate dealer of First
street called at my house last June. Hill
len was at one time my friend. but he is
now my enemy. He took advantage of

unconstitutional, it being too re-

duly reported to the authorities

greatly enjoyed.

Z ae Resul,..Ano,her ssatemen,.

Hampton. Va, September 2S.-The
primary election in this county to
day resulted in the nomination of MIR.
E. z. Montague as the floater Demo
cratic candidate for the Legislature
for the district comprising Elizabeth
City and Accomac counties. Mr.:
Cumming this morning issued card
announcing his withdrawal from the
contest unless the name of Judge Lee
was stricken from the ticket. The
Executive Committee, to which Mr..
Cumming appealed, refused to 90
this upon the ground that Mr.. Cum
ming himself had made the judge
ship the supreme issue in this cam
paign. The voting to-day passed off
in a quiet and orderly manner. Mr..
Montague received 445 votes, the
same number being cast for Judge
Lee. This is considered a magniti-
cent endorsement for Judge Lee, in
view of the fact that Mr.. Bryan's to
tai vote in the county Was but 572.

Democratic gatherings, wherever
held in the country, seem to be in
harmony on one question, that Of the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of
1C to /. The democrats Of Massa-
chusetts are the last heard from, and
the advices are, that their candidate
for Governor has been nominated on
platform that squarely endorses
that adopted by the national conven-
ton at Chicago last summer. Tam
many Hall too, it is believed, will
soon be in line on the great question.
Indeed, it looks now, as if democracy
and the silver issue were one and
inseparable, and likely to continue
SO, despite the predictions OF republi-
cans and goldites to the contrary.

A special to the Baltimore Sun
Monday, from Norfolk says: The
truckers and farmers have welcomed
the copious rains of the last few days,
but the moisture was almost too late
to save the fall crops of the trucking
fields. 1t is custom with the truck
ers to set out strawberry plants be
tween spring cabbage, so as to have
a good strawberry patch after the
cabbage are cut. But this year it
failed and there is not more than one
fourth of a stand. There are sum-
mer cabbage patches in rows $50 yds.
long. There may be ten to twenty
cabbage in each. In some rows there
are none, all being dead, and earlier
patches that did stand look like sif-
tiers, the worms having eaten them.
The round potatoes are a failure, but
the sweet potatoes show a fair yield
and will probably realize as usual.
In the local market all vegetables
will be high. such as turnips, salads,
late potatoes, cabbage and so forth.
Later on every thing, doubtless, in
the vegetable line will have to be
shipped from other parts.

Appointment of Judge in Vacation.

The board Of supervisors OF Glou-
cester has raised the point which has
been maintained at various times for
the past twenty years that the Gov
ernor cannot appoint q judge during
the vacation of the General Assembly.
The Gloucester board has raised this
objection in the case of County Judge
James lyons Talliaferro, who was
appointed by Governor O'Ferrall
about six weeks ago to succeed his
father, Gen. VIM. B. Talliaferro, who
resigned. The appointee, insisting
that in the event of a judicial
vacancy during the vacation Of
the Legislature the executive
can only fill it by designa-
ting another judge to act. This
same point was raised during the
terms of Governors Kemper, Holiday
and possibly Mckinney. In each of
these cases it was maintained that
the Governor had the power to APP
point, vested under provision of the
constitution Judge Talliaferro will
institute mandamus proceedings and
the question will be carried to the
Supreme Court, where decision will
place the matter beyond further con-
tention.
