A SATISFACTORY INTERVIEW.
Receivers Cowen and Murray VIII Not
Discriminate Against rIartinsburg.

Receivers COwen and Murray VIII Not
Discriminate Against rIartinsburg.
As announced in the Herald, the
committee Of the Business Mems As
ISOLATION, of this city, called on the
Receivers of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad last Friday and were most
cordially received. Hon. Alex Parks,
chairman, promptly and concisely
stated the object Of the visit, which
he said was for the purpose OF ascer-
tanning the course which Receivers
intended to pursue in relation to the
shops; to ask that engineers be sent
to locate spur or side track on which
manufacturing establishments could
be located, and to inform them what
had been done by the Association
already and what it hoped to do in
the future.
In response, Mr.. Cowen said that
when he and Mr.. Murray took charge
of the road they found the plan Of
consolidation of the various shops at
Cumberland in progress and that
they had been following that plan;
that the same questions had arisen at
Keyser and Connelsville and that
arrangements, practically satisfactory
to both towns, had already been made;
that they fully realize the importance
OF Martinsburg as manufacturing
center and that they had no thought
of discriminating against us, but in
the absence of General Manager
Greene they were unable to say just
what would be done. They would
consult with Mr.. Greene and inform
the committee of his intentions.
They would have the Engineer Corps
look over the ground and make the
survey asked for.
Mr.. Cushwa stated that the citizens
Of Martinsburg, through the Building
and Loan Association, had expended
about $3.50, 600 in the placing of man
ufacturing establishments and that
they did not propose to cease their
efforts.
Mr. Shaffer earnestly impressed
upon the Receivers the hardships that
would be imposed upon employees
were they compelled to remove to
other points. He said many OF them
had homes OF their own, others were
paying for homes which had been Sc
cured through building associations,
and to now be compelled to leave
them or lose employment would do
them a great injustice. He also
called attention to the fact that work
can be done more economically in
Martinsburg than in other towns by
reason of the tact that the necessaries
of life are cheaper and that the men
in the shops are thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the character of work re-
CURED by the company.
After further interchange of views
during which both Mr.. Cowen and
Mr.. Murray expressed their intention
to fully investigate the whole matter,
the interview. which was most
Pleasant. terminated

CITY FATHERS TO BE.

Both parties have held their conven-
lions and nominated candidates to be
voted for at the municipal election to
be held on the 4th Monday of this
month, the 24th, not the 18TH as pub
lished in the World. Only members
of the city council, one from each
ward, are to be elected. Messrs.
Paulding, Lamar and Kaufman are
exceptionally strong substantial
citizens such as are needed in the
Council. Mr.. Lewis we do not know,
but presume he is all right as the
"Old Fourth rarely makes mistakes.
Mr.. Hooge is one of the Republican
leaders in the Fifth and hustler, He
should have at least Is majority and
it will not be his fault if he does not
get that number.
The Democrats, undismayed as us
ual, bob up with some new men. Mr.
Leinen is coal dealer and a fair man.
Mr.. Cushwa made an effort last year
and failed. He is a good man. but
has no show in the Second, especially
when pitted against Mr.. Lamar. The
other three we do not know and from
remarks heard on the streets there are
others in the same plight
The fight is now on. There is no
reason why all of the Republican can
didates should not be elected. We
believe they will be. Other West
Virginia cities have been going Be
publican and Martinsburg is too pfo-
gressive TO take any backward steps.

Senator Faulkner is of opinion that
the Dingley bill will pass the Senate
by the 18th OF June; but he says the
bill will not be anything like that
passed by the House; that it will be a
protective measure, yet not more
protective than was the Mckinley
bill, which he says is the objection
to the Dingley bill as it was. On the
other hand, Senator Elkins says the
Dingley bill is daily growing in favor
among Republican Senators. As mat
tiers are there is realization that
public sentiment demands that the
Senate shall act with promptness and
settle the question.

Congressman Dayton has decided
to recommend Hon. w H. Sommers
for postmaster at Berkeley Springs.
There has been quite spirited con-
test up there which finally narrowed
down to Mr.. Sommers and Mr.. Buzz
zerd, the former Republican incum-
bent. The appointment is in recog-
milton of the very effective work of
Mr. Sommers as chairman of the Re-
publican committee. At the same
time he hopes to be able to provide a
place for Mr.. Buzzerd.

The Board of Education has decided
to loan the High School library to
the Public Library Association
There is a difference of opinion as to
the propriety of doing so. One
thing is certain, the Cyclopedia and
other works of reference, together
with histories, poetical works and
many scientific works should remain
where they are. Nothing will be
gained by robbing the High School
pupils of the helps provided for them.
1t is a good plan to move slowly
sometimes.

Public Printer l'almer is shaking
up the dry bones about Uncle Sam S
big print shop in Washington. Even
Democrats realize that it is more
pleasant to work under the direction
of foreman than under the harsh
commands of a warden. Competent
men have taken the places of incom-
petents in charge of the various
divisions. Many old employees, dis
charged without cause, have been
reinstated and the hope is that the
civil-service blanket will be entirely
removed.

The world is full of people who live
beyond their means, and from year to
year some one pays portion of their
rent, grocery, dry goods and all other
bills. They are civilized barbarians,
who forage in civilization and they
are found in all grades of society. The
causes vary, but the principle one is
the attempt to keep up appearances.
The misery that comes upon people
because of their living beyond their
means is enormous. Elk.

1t is more evident every day that
wool-growers should not insist upon
exorbitant rates on wool. BY doing
so they endanger the industry.
Reasonable rates-rates that will af-
ford all necessary protection--will be
permanent, while the final result of
prohibitive rates will be free wool.
There is happy mean which should
be accepted, and which can be OBJ

wise, wool-growers will ask no more.

KELLEY LAW ABUSED.
Patients Other Than Alcoholic Vic
Tins Being Cured by County
Money!

Black River Falls, Wis, Jan %
What will be the outcome of the Kelley
cure law is agitating the minds of the
average taxpayer a good deal just now.
There have been sent from this county
now about fifty patients to the Eau
Claire institute, at a cost of $130 each.
and there is great deal of indignation
as we'll as real concern felt in regard to
the matter, as they argue that unless
there is some limit put to the matter it
must eventually bankrupt the county.
By some it is claimed that The law is
being abused by some of the patients
who are, it is claimed, making use of
the law in order to effect a cure of other
objectionable diseases rather than al
coholism.
Assemblyman Merrill of this county
expresses himself of the opinion that
the principle of the law is correct, but
that it needs u good deal of repairing to
make ii unObjectionable. He is espe-
cially opposed to the method of paying
for the work, and thinks, as the cities
and villages derive all the benefit from
the license money of the saloon. that
a large portion of that should be set
aside as fund for this purpose.

That Was the Tone of the Leg
islative Banquet
Given by the members at Col
umbus Last Night.
TO SUCCEED SHERMAN.
The Meeting Was Clearly Part
of a Plan
To Prepare the Public For
What is to Come.

Columbus, O., Jan. 23.-The lobby of
the hotel Chittenden was crowded last
evening with an assembly of politicians
and the all-absorbing topic was the
senior Ohio senatorship. About 80
members of both houses of the Iegisla-
ture came to attend the legislative re-
union and most of them were attracted
wholly by the talk about the senator
ship. Not over half dozen would even
say they had a preference as to Senator
Sherman's successor. The drift of sent
lment, however, was against the calling
OF special session, and in favor of the
appointment of Mark Hanna.
The chairman of the national COM
mlttee arrived from Cleveland about
p m. Mr.. Hanna had engaged the par
lOrs on the first floor at the Chittenden,
and as soon as his arrival became known
string of callers passed in and out of
his rooms. Mr.. Hanna maintained that
ne had not come here in the interest of
his candidacy for sena tor but that he
was merely the invited guest of men,
berS of the reunion.
1t was 10 o'clock before the members
of the general assembly and their guests
were seated at the banquet tables in
the dining room of the Chittenden. The
tables contained covers for 200, about
half of whom We're state officials and
guests of the members. Mr.. Hanna was
mong the first to enter the room. His
entrance was unheralded and it was a
moment before the crowd caught on
ana started to applaud. A few mo-
ments later Governor Bushnell entered
and he was given a royal welcome
Governor Bushnell was POSTMASTER for
the evening
It was midnight when Speaker Sleep
er introduced Governor Bushnell. A loud
burst of applause followed lasting sew
eral minutes The governor then con-
graduated those present upon having
so many members present and that no
deaths had occurred in the legislature
He said he was thankful he did not
have legislature on his hands.
Lieutenant Governor Jones and Ad-
jutant General AXline followed.
Governor BushnelIs introduction of
Hon. NJ. A. Hanna was a very happy
one, the toast being Ohio the mother
of Presidents" When Mr.. Hanna arose
he was given an ovation. He began by
stating that he accepted the invitation
to attend the banquet on the condition
that he was not to be called upon to
make a response. He had been caught
unawares, but could not refrain from
adding his testimony to the sterling
worth of the present legislature
He continued in a felicitous yein
speaking of Ohio and her public men
but avoided personal illusions Several
other speakers followed, and it was a
late hour when the banquet ended

CAN'T SEE CLEVELAND.
Congressman Air Their Grievances in
the House.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Yesterday was
private bill day in the house and most
of the day was consumed with small
bills. The bill to provide for holding
terms of the United States court for
the eastern district of Texas at the
town of Beaumont was passed over the
presidents veto by vote of IA TO 6S.
Incidental to the discussion, Mr.. Cooper
of Texas declared that before the pres
ident vetoed the bill he had vainly
tried to get an audience with Mr.. Cleve-
land to explain the matter.
He said the first objection to the bill
he had ever heard came from the pres
ident. He recounted, as he said, with
some humiliation, that he had several
times called upon Mr.. Cleveland to pre-
sent the reason why it should be signed
or to meet any objections which the
president might raise, but he had been
denied admission to Mr.. Cleveland.
On the occasion of his last visit he
said he had been informed by private
Secretary Thurber that it would be use
less for him to see the president, as Mr..
Cleveland had already made up his
mind to veto the bill. Mr.. Cooper's re-
marks about his inability to get access
to Mr.. Cleveland drew from Mr. Gros-
venor a half humorous, half sarcastic
commentary upon the obstacles which
hedged the White House. Mr. Gros-
Venor said il surprised him to hear that
any time within the past three years
any self-respecting representative of
respectable constituency would even
make application at the White House.
Three years ago the present occupant
of the White House had been represent
ed as having issued AN order that no
senator or representative. should pre-
sent himself in person unless he had
communicated to the private secretary
his desires and received the sanction of
"a

The building is eight stories high, and
in addition to all the modern improve
ments there is a billiard room, a bowl
ing alley and a roof garden, where an
orchestra will be employed during the

building is old colonial in style and is
built of white marble and handmade
brick Creeping vines will eventually
cover the entire front from the base
rnent to the garden. There is an cleo
trio light plant on the premises, and
accommodations for bicycles and horses
in the rear.

W. W. AsTOR'S APPEAL.
Agent Asks the Mayor to Prevent an
Auction Sale.

New York, Jan. 23.-William Waldorf
Aston, through his counsel. has asked
Mayor Strong to prevent the proposed
sale of his former household goods from
the Astor home which an auctioneer
has advertised. Charles A. Peabody,
Jr, who represents Mr.. Astor's inter
ests, cabled the expatriated millionaire
yesterday in regard to this auction
sale. He had Investigated, he said,
and found that an auctioneer had in
some manner obtained possession of a
few former Aston chattels.
Mayor Strong, when he heard the
story, called for his confidential clerk
and told him to inform the auctioneer
that he must stop disappearing the
goods to be sold by him. He must
stop using such methods" said the
mayor, for il what Mr.. Peabody says
is true he certainly is misrepresenting
his auction sales

WHITE HOUSE COURTESY.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mckinley Will Dine
With the CleveIands.

Washington, D. c.. Jan. 23.-President
Cleveland will extend an invitation to
the incoming president and Mrs. Nc
Kinley to dine with himself and Mrs.
Cleveland at the White House on the
day preceding the Inauguration.
A similar invitation was extended
Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland on the eve of
the Inauguration four years ago, and a
small but distinguished party gathered
at the White House.
1t is probable that Mr.. Mckinley will
accept the invitation. 1t is understood
that the president and Mrs. Cleveland
will leave Washington Immediately
after the Inauguration ceremonies at
the capitol for either Princeton or New
York
