/. in Pittsburgh Sunday Dispatch.
A pretty little spot nesting
between two Harrison county
hills, on Elk creek, is this wee
city, the birthplace Of Stonewall
Jackson. A few days spent up
here have proved refreshing.
Clarksburg is little world with.
in itself. 1t is one Of the Oldest
towns in the country and I am
told has not grown much in the
last three quarters ola century.
1t has been a city now about one
year. and is the county seat.
True tits that within a dozen
miles of our Allegheny Court
House we have about a dozen
boroughs, each larger than this
West Virginia city, which has
about 5000 inhabitants.
Clarksburg is famous on two
scores, its age and as the place
where General Thomas Jonathan
jackson, known the world over
as ..Stonewail' Jackson, was
horn and raised. 1t was this lit
tie town that sent out in the COS
that young man whose fighting
ability and generalship won the
love Of the Confederacy, and the
past TWO days l have met and
talked with gray-haired men who
were big boys when Jackson was
in short dresses. Younger men
have told me how they went
swimming with Tommie jackson
back in the COS.
HOUSE WHERE HE WAS BORN.
Stonewall jackson was born in
a little story and a half brick
house IN what is now the center
of the town. 1t was an old house
when the future great General
was ushered into this troubled
world it got older each day, but
1t was not until 1881 that the
crush of business forced the little
landmark away. A great four
story building owned by David
Davidson now stands on the site.
Last night 1 called on Colonel
Luther Raymond, who had nurs-
ed Stonewall Jackson. Mr.. Hay
mond is a man whose appearance
commands admiration. He has
lived long and well, not fast.
Ninety winters have left his hair
white as snow, but aside from
this he does not show age. Mr..
Haymond is near SIX feet tall,
straight as an arrow, yet strong
and muscular. He can read un-
usually small print without
glasses. Mr.. Raymond was a
member of the Legislature and
a prominent banker here. Last
evening he sat across the room
from me and we carried on a
lengthy conversation in an ordi-
nary tone. His sense Of hearing
is unusually keen for a man OF
such years. Said he:

Travellers get to and from the
station IN buses. The West Vir
| ginia and Pittsburgh and the
Monongah roads now also run in
at the Baltimore and Ohio sta
tion, and the one little station
is the busiest place that { have
ever seen.
Figures are not at hand as to
the business transacted at this
depot in 1897, but in 1895 $40, ooo
loaded cars were handled at this
depot. Think OF it la station

The sale of tickets alone amount.
ed to SIo5, 600. The year 1897
was better than the previous
year, but i am told that 1893 was
the biggest year ever known in
railroad business here. One hun.
bred and eleven thousand dol
lars worth of tickets were sold
by the agent here, and these fig.
ures do not give . fair idea Of the
amount of travel out Of Clarks-
burg, as almost all the people
going out use mileage books.
There are three very healthy
scalpers' Offices in this little town
and the scalpers wear diamonds.
1t is here that the great vein of
Pittsburg coal reaches its maxi
mum thickness-nine feet. The
mines close by have an output of
about $500 tons per annum.
These figures are matters of fact
and can be shown anyone who
inquiries. There seems just a lit
tie justice in the claim that
Clarksburg is the most important
station on the Baltimore and Ohio
between Baltimore and Ctncin.

A CITY OF GREAT INTELLIGENCE.
Clarksburg keeps in very close
touch with the outside world. The
number of newspapers coming in
daily is astonishing. Every train
brings papers from some corner
of the outside world. Over their
breakfasts they read the evening
papers Of Cincinnati, Baltimore.
New York. Pittsburg and Wheel.

news of the world by that days

An Extraordinary Case Of Usury.

Aristide M. Lapierre of Bncking-
ham, Quebec, loaned David Nailon,
sn illitetate farmer, $25, the interest
Of which accumulated Mt such rate
that, after making several payments.
on Feb. 13, 1895, Nailon gave Lam
pierre his note for 1926 bearing inter-
est at ~ per week, upon which note
Lapierre brought action March 2,
1895, and judgment was rendered by
default for 1925 with interest, costs,
S25.6O, and sub-costs 1926. To O
seizure effected by Lapierre, Nailon
filed an opposition, claiming he had
overpaid Lapierre, and in fact be had
paid him $217.05, besides other sums
from Tins % time for interest, and so
on, which opposition was maintained
by the superior court of Quebec, but
Lapieire appealed to the court of
queens bench, appeal side, which re-
versed the Judgment of the opposi-
tion, sustaining the judgment of the
superior court in the original action
for the 1925. upon which the interest
accrued until Feb, 1893, amounting
to the sum Of 333s.O3, the court OF
appeal judgment also condemning
Nailon to f<ly the costs of appeal and
the costs of the superior court on his
opposition, which amounted to S292. 10
additional, making the whole debt for
the original loan of $25 amount to
S779.50, the interest on the 1925 still
accumulat,ng at the rate Of S2 per
week. The question is up before the
SUI egior court Mt Hull by way of ad-
ditional oppositions, in which the
children of Nailon the one undivided
half interest, their deceased mothers
share in the farm of Nailon, which
farm is in process Of being S>ld by
