A man who opposes the progress
and good Of his own town cannot
hope to have the support of the
people of the same city when they
want an office. The Review pledges
its opposition to every man who is
COINS to vote against our town this
year. We will oppose them with
all Our power, every day in the year,
and they will be defeated as sure as
night follows the day. Just wait

Two years ago HaTdman, Bore :

from the town of Middlebourne told
Hughes to squelCh our city charter
and down went the charter. These
same men now want our people to
vote for Hughes again. If he is
elected our charter is dead. Elect
Weekly aud We have no license

There IS no question or doubt about
this matter. What will YOU do, let
the old gang run us or elect men
who will favor our city? We fear
the old gang will win and ii they
do we are not in it. These are hard
facts and are vitality important to
our city and the county generally.

We are printing the ticket to be
voted this fall. Ifyou want to vote
the republican ticket, draw a line
through the democratic, prohibition
and Peoples ticket, either with a
pen and ink or an indelible pencil
You have a straight republican
ticket. You should then erase the
words at the bottom of the ticket,
Against the alternate road law"
Then erase Hughes name and
write L. B. Hill underneath
Hughes name. Do the same with
Weekly aud Wells and you will
have a good ticket; one that means
no more bossism in this city, but
fair and equal rights to all and ia
vorS to none.

An important question to be
voted on at this election is the adop-
ton of the alternate road system.
This means that the county roads
are sold off into sections to men who
agree to keep the section they buy
In good repair. This way a man
has mile or two of road, and can
attend to it promptly the year
round. The law has been in force
in many counties in this state, and
has proven to be a great success.
The law was adopted by the peo-
pie good many years since, but the
county court refused to nforce the
law, believing il would make good
roads, and good roads would kill
the prospect Of a railroad. 1t
would have worked the reverse but
the court turned the matter down.
Nothing yet has been said about
this question but its a very impor-
tant one. When you vote erase
the words on your ticket Against
Alternate road law" and then YOU
will have voted for the law. Don't
forget this for it means good roads
all over the county.

Our old friend Hartman was in
town last night but they would not
let him speak. This is very very
sad. He ought to repeat his ofttime
pleas to the county court against
license and close his remarks with
the letter and petitions he and 9th
erS from Middlebourne SEPT to the
legislature two years ago to Hughes
to vote down our proposed new
charter.
West Virginia daily oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1894-1902, 1898-10-28

And still our friends, the editors
of the Star, decline to discuss the
charter or license. These gentle
men, who a few days since, were
telling its readers about our Gin
famous charter" and their desire to
have Hughes and Weekly elected
on straight anti-license ticket,
now absolutely refuse to mention
either the charter or license.
This is quite gauzy trick. They
hope to bury the issue and pull
their candidates through on some
other issue. Thepeople should not be
fooled again. We have Hartman S
rule right along and we know
what it means to all outside of Mid
dlebourne. 1t means that people
from outside the favored few need
not apply for any favors, legal or
otherwise. 1t means that our
saloon men are to be indicted and
numerically bled. 1t does not
mean the stopping of the sale of
whiskey, but it does mean the
bleeding system is to be continued.
If oil is found near Middlebourne
saloons will be started in that holy
town and license will be granted,
but never in Sistersville.
When the election is over the
Star will have something to say
about license and our charter. II
Hughes is elected Hardman's gang
will be at Charleston in opposition
to Our charter. If we ask for license
his hawling voice will be heard
against it before the county court
and we know be always wins.
Don't be gulled into lethergy.
We are making the fight now that
If we do not win we cannot hope to
carry inside Of four years. Next
election is presidential election
politics will be hot and the issue
Of license and charter will be
buried in the greater national
questions that will be decided then.
Our only hope then for success is
by united effort this year. With
new charter and license our town
will boom as it has never done be-
fore. We will have better repre-
sentation in the council, all officers
will be elected and we can govern
the license business just as a major
ity of our people elect to govern it
We have everything to win, and
nothing to lose. 1t is not politics,
but it is home interests we are fight.
ing for. IF we do Our whole duty
we will win.

There were two explosions of a distinctly
different character with a very short but
distinct interval between them, and the
forward part OF the ship was lifted to a
marked degree at the time of the first ex
plosion.
The first explosion was more In the ma

In reply to an Inquiry as to whether
ne meant with reference to their original
positions Ensign Powelson replied affrma-
lively. The beam supporting the pro-
tective deck a few inches abaft of the ar
mored tube, to port of the midship line,
was bent up to starboard of the mid
ship line. Just forward of the coming
tower, underneath the deck two beams
met at right angles; one beam was broken
and pushed from port to starboard. A
grating was found on the poop awning
just forward of the after searchlight.
a piece of the side plating just abaft
of the starboard turret was visible. This
plate was bent outward and then the for
ward end bent upward and folded back
ward upon itself. This plate was sheared
from the rest of the plating below the
water line. This plating below the water
line has been pushed out to starboard."
The armored gratings Of the engine room
hatch were blown off. A composition
strainer was picked up from the bottom
on the starboard quarter at a point about
opposite the poop capstan and about 20
feet from 1t. The chief engineer thought
the strainer was from the firemens wash
room. 1t was not a strainer in the ships
side.
Near the piece of outside plating to
which witness referred above he said there
were pieces of red shellaced planks. On
these planks was bolted a composition
track two inches wide and an inch thick.
Ensign Powelson then asked If the court
meant for him to say anything about what
the divers reported or just what he saw.
The judge advocate replied that he would
like to have him state any important dis
coveries which might lead the court to
draw some conclusion as to the cause,
and II a diver gave such Information to
state the divers name. Before doing so
the judge advocate asked witness to state
If the forward and after part of the ship
were in line. Ensign Powelson replied
that as far as he could judge they were
not. The end where the explosion oc-
CURED seemed to be pushed from port
to starboard from five to ten degrees, he
should judge, with the apex to the star
board, The divers reported to witness that
at point where the ten-inch shell room
should be they discovered ten-inch shells
regularly arranged, but the ship had sunk
down so much that some Of the shells were
In the mud.
Gunner Morgan reported that in walking
on the bottom he fell into hole on the
port side and went down In the mud. He
also reported that as far as he could Judge
everything seemed to be bent upward In
the vicinity of this hole. He also reported
that the plates seemed to have been pushed
over to the starboard and then bent down.
Ensign Powelson then said that six
inch powder tank that he saw appeared to
be an empty tank broken by the explosion,
as IL was not badly dented and merely
ripped the length of the seam. A ten-inch
tank was badly battered out of any con-
ceivabe shape.
Continuing, the witness said the divers
up to the night before he was then on the
stand had not been on the outside of the
ship. The mud was too deep for them to
walk on the bottom.
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1898-04-09

described with close detail the condition
under the main deck on the port side The
fixtures were completely wrecked, while
fixtures in the same position on the star
board side were in some cases almost in
tact. The port bulkhead between the main
and berth decks at the coming tower sup
port had been blown aft on both sides, but
a great deal more on the port than on the
starboard side The fireroom hatch imme-
diately abaft of the coming tower had been
blown in three directons-aft, to star
board and to port. The protective deck
under the coming tower supports was bent
In two directions, the plates on the star
board side being bent up and on the lar
board side bent down.
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1898-04-09

"what Is the condition OF the starboard
turret ?' witness was asked.
ITO my knowledge II has not been found.
SIR" was the reply.
He understood something had been found
under the place where the turret formerly
was. but its exact character had not been
determined.
Impressions of Ensign POwelson.
What impression is produced upon your
mind by the reports, as far as you nave
quoted them?" Ensign Powelson was asked.
From reports alone or from the appear
ance of the wreck?"
EITHER from such reports or the condi-
lions which you believe to exist"
'"rhe impression produced upon me" re-
piled the witness, lis that an explosion took
place well to port of the midship line, and
at point in the length about opposite the
coming tower"
Witness in reply to further questions said
his opinion was based upon the observation
Of things above water. He gave no weight
to Mr.. Morgan's statement about falling
into hole on the port side because Nor
gan might have been mistaken about 1t.
Referring to his notes made of things on
the Maine, Ensign Powelson said that the
arc of the engine room telegraph and the
shaft of the steering gear coming down
through the armored tube (turreO was bent
from port to starboard. The port side OF
