lie PROPOSED NEW RAILROAD.
ERs SUPPORT IT.

A meeting in the interest Of the pro-
posed railroad from the Pennsylvania
coke fields to the Ohio river. was held
at the Benwood city hall last night, az
a means OF cnlightenlng Benwood cih-
Ecns on the bond Issue OF 100000, to DO
voted on by Marshall county citizens
tomorrow. The meeting. while only
fairly attended. was very enthusiastic,
and showed u strong sentiment among
Benwood people in favor OF the road.
Addresses were made by President A.
P. Funk, OF the railroad and promln-
ent Benwood citizens. Mr.. Funk out
lined the railroads intention, II suit
able encouragement. were shown, of
building road which should touch the
Ohio river at Moundsvllie, thence con-
tinuing to Benwood. The company,
said Mr.. Funk. didn't propose entering
tho enemy's country, meaning that II
expected to receive encouragement
from Marshall county. and II the voters
decided to grant the Issuance OF the
100000 subscription to the compnny's
capital stock. the company would full
I'LL the conditions agreed on.
Among the citizens who argued in
support OF the bond Issue were Hon.
John w. Leach, Josiah Sinclair Coun-
Gilman John T. Manley and Squire a.
L. Policy. all Of whom made stirring
addresses. They endeayored with good
success to make plain the advantages
that would follow the operation of the
new railroad. It was pointed out that
Benwood already enjoys large tax re-
ceipts from the railroads, and would
enjoy additional tax receipts from an
other railroad, thus getting back the
interest, at least, on the money SUBJ
scrlbed. Furthermore. the county
would be built up along the line of the
new road, giving more taxation. It
was figured that the bond issue would
only entail seventy-flve cents addi-
tional taxation on u property owner
now assessed for $1,000.
The failure Of q larger attendance at
the meeting was regretted; but, never
theless, the meeting was productive OF
much good. and the railroad advocates
at to-morrow's election will show great
er. strength than was at first supposed.
A rousing meeting was also held at
Sherrard last night. q

Lieutenant Griffin was a resident OF
Wheeling when the war broke out, and
he enlisted in the First West Virginia
Volunteer Infantry, under Colonel KEEL
ley. and was made lieutenant In Com
pany B. He was one Of the boys who
saw early service, being in the battle OF
:Phllippi. It was there. In the morning,
before breakfast on that historic day,
that Lieutenant Griffin reconnoitering
with Frank Taylor, Finley Mckinley,
Jim Emory, William H.lTrayls and sew
eral other soldiers well known here. saw
rebel flag floating over the headquar-
tiers of General Porterfleld. and he re-
solved to capture It. and did.
Last night Lieutenant Griffin showed
this flag to an Intelllgencer reporter.

boys, Boys, God and are going to

SEEING HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
Senator Davis Holds That 1t Would
BE Entirely JuStifiable.

Members of the Senate committee on for
eign relations are generally without infor-
nation as to the plans of the admnistra-
ton In Hawaii. but some of them indorse
the idea of securing the Pacific Islands by
seizure at this time in view Of their STRAIT
egic Importance. Senator Davis, chairman
of the committee, Is among those who hold
this view. He said yesterday that he con-
sidered the United States would be entirely
justified in taking the islands in case Of
war as a war measure.
They would" he said. "be necessary for
orr own defense, and we would be justified
in their seizure at such a time to prevent
to whom they would be invaluable What
Honolulu and Selling the country, together
our COAL of which, understand, we have
quite supply in the islands Furthermore,
there are in Hawaii many American citi-
Zens whose interest 1t Is necessary we
should protect. For these and other rea-
sons l should indorse the taking possession
of the islands by the United States in time
of war with another country into whose
hands they might fall. We, Of course
know that the Hawaiian government Ia
friendly to annexation, so that requirement
by this means would not be SO violent
proceeding as it might seem under other
circumstances"
1t Is said that in case possession was ac-
CURED in this way there would be no
necessity for confrmatory action by Con-
gress
