Senator Elkins is very much
disturbed over the declaration of
all three of his boys that they are
going to enlist to fight the Span
iards. Senator Elkins' boys have
a patriotic and democratic mother,
who hastaught them patriotism and
democracy, and she is proud of
them, as they are of her, and all
true West Virginians are proud of
both of them. Mrs. EIkins is the
eldest daughter of ex-senator
Henry @. Davis.

Geological survey follows in time.
The Engineer placed a large plate in
the second stone of the Cornstalk
monument, showing Point Pleas
ant at the monument to be 566 feet
above the sea level. The penalty
for defacing or removing this plate
is a fine of $3.50, which warning

Point Pleasant was laid out as a
town over hundred years ago; but
whoever did the Laying out, !"
made as poor a job of it, as any
novice could. 1t does not look
reasonable that Gen. Geo. Wash
ingten or any other surveyor ever
had hand in it. But if we have
badly laid out streets and no alleys
except what have been given 10
the town by property holders in
recent years. Point Pleasant is as
good place to live in as any place
we know of. The new parts of our
town are laid out with some regard
to niceness and the benefit of
alleys.

 It was not luck that gave the Herald-Call this long lead of all contemporaries. It was merely the pursuit of sy ystematic plan of campaign.
 While rivals called in their pickets from the blockading fleet the Herald-Call continued all ef- forts, despite the discomforts that the hellish commotion in the gulf stream causes occupants of small boats, and the day the Matanzas batteries were peppered saw both of the Herald-CaiPs dispatch boats with the fleet.
 One boat, the Albert F. Dewey. came into Key West to bring the routine news and get coal, while the Somers N. Smith, the pride of the Pensacola pilots, whose boat she is, remained on guard.

where the authorities expected to give
the men preliminary hearing last night
and send them TO Steubenville this MORN

that there Is no doubt of their conviction.

PART CONCEALED.

All the stuff was taken to police head
quarters. In addition to the articles
mentioned, 1t is known that the robbers
got away with q lot OF shoes which were
secreted at some unknown place out the
road, between West Alexander and Elm
Grove. Early yesterday morning, the
pair stopped at point on the railroad
and asked an operator when they could
catch freight train for Wheeling.
When informed that none could be
boarded soon, one OF the pair went away
with bundle Of merchandise he was
carrying. and returned shortly without
1t. 1t is expected these goods will be
recovered shortly.
During the afternoon, John Gibson
went before Justice Rogers and made
information that Charles Gibson and
"Dick" Sweeney were fugitives from
justice. After this formality they will
be held until the prosecuting attorney
Of Washington county (Pa.) has Sc
cured from the governor of Pennsylva-
mia requisition on Governor Atkinson,
which will no doubt be honored immedi-
ately, after which the pair will be taken
to Washington for trial on the charge
OF grand larceny. In Pennsylvania the
theft OF goods valued at $40 constitutes
SFaHu laFceHy. Line value OF the goods
stolen is estimated by John Gibson at
$3.50.
Since young Gibson was released AFTER
the trial of Geyer some time ago, he has
not had steady employment, and from
his actions the police were aware that he
had not repented Of the error of his
ways. Not long ago, his sister, who
conducts boarding house in this city,
had to borrow money in order TO ret
her brother out of trouble.
Sweeney Is well-known crook, and
Gibson's association with him was
enough 10 condemn him. He served q
term in the Ohio penitentiary at Column
bus. and has been in trouble in this vi
cinlty many times. Some time ago he
was caught In store at Elm Grove,
when about to commit burglary, but
the proprietor refused TO prosecute and
SO Sweeney got away scot free on that
violation OF law.
