The Wheeling Volunteers held a
meeting at the Odd Fellows hall last
hight, to consider future plans OF the
Organization. Probably forty young
sshenswere present. After a brief session
;1twasdecided to remain an Independent
Organization, and tender their services
as a company to Colonel G. ". Cur
lin, of Bra1ton county, who will or
ganize the Second West Virginia Regl-
innent OF Volunteers.
This action was decided on without
debate. The question OF attempting to
get In the National Guard was not even
preached, there being a decided senti-
tnent,t to the contrary. One young fellow
TAINTED It distinctly understood that
they were not to SO as state troops II
called on, and said he was afraid there
might be some scheme to work them,in-
Ito the National Guard. He expressed
Fiji INSTRUMENTATION thusly: II am willing

ASSThis prejudice againstEth National
Guard. SC evident in Wheeling, was

who wanted to Join the. Guard, tand said

step which doesn't seem very likely at
prsent. Most OF them say they are

not enlist in the National Guard ffor

be minus a company In the Guard un-

mens that Governor Atkinson will call
for a provisional regiment to be known
as the: Second Infantry regiment Of vol
nvteers. The tcald of public works
met this morning. all members being
present except Auditor Lafollette, and
authorized the governor to borrow from
the lrreducible school fund $4,000 for
the purpose OF defraying the expenses
OF the recruiting regiment. also to
properly equip the same. They also
gave him authority to borrow more
money, at his discretion, II necessary,
to furnish the volunteers with clothing
and supplies.
Auditor. Lafollette refused to honor
the order, giving as his reason that the
board had no right! to act, unless there
is O. speclnc appropriation set aside for
this purpose. Governor Atkinson then
negotiated q loan with a Wheeling
bank. and the money will be forthcom-
ing in a few days. 1t Is the intention
to raise twelve companies In as many
places in the state, and to give them a
few weeks drill, when they will be mo-
bilized at some point In the state for
regimental drill. A sufficient number
of the old national guard will be de-
tailed to organize the companies.
