A large lot of lime rock will be
put on the macadam pike within
the next ten days. Already several
car loads have arrived and it is be-
ing distributed today. The COM
pany is doing its best to hold the
road up, but on on account o. the
very heavy and constantly heavy
loads going over it it takes a fins
road to stand the wear and tear, but
after this winter there will be a
good foundation to start with and
then with years travel it will be
like claimant. In the meantime
the very few who are doing all they
can to injure the road are found
driving over the macadam road as
far as they can to dodge the toll
gate and then take to the side
roads to avoid the toll. This, is
stealing just the same as entering
a mans house would be, but still
such people live, always did and
always will, but the devil will settle
with them by and by.

AN or. CASE RENAMED.


est.
The case of T. L. Shields VS. T
N. Barnsdall ct al. which was car
ried up to the Supreme Court, has
been reversed and remanded.
This case arose over a controversy
in regard to leases on the A. 5
Dyke farm in the Henderson, field
Barnsdall acquired all the interests
in the lease except one-twelfth in
terest held by Shields. He at.
tempted to procure the latter.
Shields would not sell, but was
willing to have the property devel.
oped, but Barnsdall would not de-
velop the property, although wells
were being drilled on adjacent
leases. Shields then Instituted
suit to protect. the lines of the
property, and got decision in the
Circuit Court. ....... ....
1t was this decision that was re,
versed, and, we understand. the
reversal was on mere technicality.

THE UoUNTY SEAT.
1t Becomes q Bone OF Contention iU
Randolph County.


Randolph County.
The Randolph county seat re
moval case was brought into the
Supreme Court and argued Satur-
day on the petition of certain citi'
zens of that county fora writ OF
mandamus to compel. the county
commissioners of Randolph, acting
as board of canvassers, 10 ascer'
tain and declare the result of the
election recently held in that coun'
ty on the proposition to remove the
county seat from the town OF
Beverley to the town of Elkins On
the West Virginia Central railroad
1t appears that the election on
the 9th of November there were
2I55 votes cast in favor of the
proposition to remove the court
house and 1925 votes against It,
The law requires that the three
ffths of all the votes cast on the
proposition shall be necessary to
remove a county seat. There be-
ing only $3.50 votes cast in favor
of removal were more than the re-
quired three.ffths. The board OF
canvassers, instead of declaring the
result cf the election and recording
the same on their books, they sim
ply finished the court and turned
the matter over to the court to
adjudicate some alleged irregular
tiles in the election. The writ OF
mandamus applied for Saturday is
simply to compel the canvassing
board to do its duty in declaring
the result Of the election.
The application for the petition
was ably argued by c. Wood Daily
for the town of Eikins, and d. c
Westenhaver for the town Of
Beverly, who opposed the granting
of the writ. g..

A:Man.. Wen Known in This
Oil Territory.
HAD HEART DISEASE.
And Intended Going to the Hos
pital Today.
From Fridays Daily.

Thos. Mcmahon, who for the
past FIVE or six months, has been
in the employ of his brothers, con-
tractors for the South Penn at
Stringtown, died suddenly Of heart
disease shortly after ten o'clock
this morning, in the bowling alley
on Wells street. The deceased had
been in ill health for several years.
and had made arrangements to go
DR.. Haskins' private hospital at
Wheeling this afternoon for treat
ment.
Death came without warning or
pain. Mcmahon strolled into the
building casually, and picking mp
one of the large balls USED in bowl
ing, remarked that it was the first
time in twenty years he had
handled one. Before the words
were scarcely uttered, the ball fell
from his nerveless grasp and he
sank to the floor expiring instantly.
DR.. II. G. Meek, acting coroner.
was summoned and he selected
Robert Mccormick, A. M. Jones.
Thomas A. Williams, E. A. Dam
iels, c. Z. Marsh and w. E. Cum
mings for jurors. The verdict was
death from heart disease in accord
ance with the facts. The brothers
of the deceased were notified of the
death.
Mcmahon was about forty years
Of age. He was born in Wyoming
county, New York, and came 10 the
oil country many years ago i'll COM
panv with his brother-in-law, Mr..
Ed Bennett, who soon became a
prominent operator. The deceased
served FIVE years i'll the regular
army and was honorably dis
charged. For the past six months,
as before stated, he has been work
ing at Stringtown. He had never
married.

Not Exactly Ridiculous.

Mr.. Ingersoll, the famous agnes
tic, has chosen, in a new lecture
which he began toEdeliver last week
to stake a point on asking why
President Mckinley in his Thanks
giving proclamation didn't call on
the people, in thanking God for the
victories of the war, to thank him
also for the yellow fever. The
cavil is characteristic of Mr.. Inger-
soils mind, and we'll illustrates
that peculiar quality of his reason
ing which prevents him from being
taken seriously-though it may be
what makes him an inhdel.
The assumption that a man who
returns thanks to heaven for bless.
ings is obliged to deny heavens
agency in evils visited upon him
or else return thanks for the evils,
too, is what this Ingersolllan sheer
is found, when analy zed, to presup,
pose. The absurdity of such a
proposition stands out sufficiently
with its mere statement. The cor
receive and punitive value of suf'
tering may be lett to the theologlan.
The immutability of natural may
be left TO the scientist. But the
commonest of us can understand
certainly the dignity and nobility
of the man who makes large &C,
count of what is we'll with him and
contrasts the i'll thankfully with
what worse thing might have been.
Add devontness and you have the
attitude which Ingersoll lightly
ridicules. But it doesn't seem So
ridiculous

In the Walton Adkins case for
the possession of the three year
year old child, Bessie Walton, whom
Leota Elenor Adkins is charged
with abducting in the Kanawha cir
cult court, a writ OF habeas corpus
having been issued on Wednesday
by Judge Guthrie, the child was
brought into coult.
The attorneys in the case are
Messrs. Chiffon, MacColkle &
Chiffon for the defendant, and S.
c. BurGett for the Walton side, or
the State. Eloquent pleas were
made by both J. S. Chiffon and Mr..
Burdett that the child should be
gwen to their respective clients. for
keeping until its rightiul owner
ship is settled, but the court re-
fused, and a motion being made by
Mr.. Chiffon that the little girl be
given to neither. but placed in the
hands of some outside party, who
would give bond for its appearance
at the trial, the court placed 1t In
the hands of Mrs. Fannie Roberts, a
sister of Mrs. Walton, she giving
bond in the sum Of 1000 with
Malinda z. Mays as security. The
case was continued until January
IS, 1899 ,.. =.
This IS one CT the most remarka,
bic cases, and the only one of its
kind, that has ever occurred In
Kanawha county or in the state,
and is referred to as a repetition OF
the great question with which King
Solomon had to deal. The case
has attracted great deal OF interest
not entirely confined to the locali-
ties where the parties live and are
known, but all oyer The state, and
some interesting developments are
looked for. The criminal side OF
the case has been set for January
IS, during the coming term of the
criminal court, and it is altogether
probable that the true parents OF
the child may be SO clearly proven
in that trial as to make 1.-THE other
hearing unnecessary.
The little fair haired, blue eyed
girl over whom all these legal pro-
ceedings were instituted, is an ex-
ceedingly pretty child and totally
UNCONSCIOUS of the interest which
attaches to her case. Both women
assert their claims with equal firm
ness, and that both seem equally
devoted to the child is not renarka-
bic. -. ...

A avery smooth tounged gentle
nly-appearing individual is call
ing on the ladies in country towns

that is just as crooked as it looks
glittering.
The fellow represents himself to
be in employ OF some we'll known
city department store. He states
that he is employed by a Philadel
phia firm. who wanted to hire
women to, make artificial flowers,
and after they had learned the art
would give them steady employ
ment at good wages; that a repre-
sentative of the firm would be
around at stated periods to gathe'
up the results of their labors. But
it was first necessary that the sum
of ST so should be paid in advance
in order to cover the cost OF the
"mouids" and to assist in paying
for the instructions that would b.
given by a lady whom the firm
would send on in few days.
The individual failed to appea,
to arrange for the instructions and
a large number of women have
been swindled out of the 81. so they
had paid the fellow. Kick him out

Gates were issued upon which an
