three years, to the State, the State will
have lost three years interest on the
money and some one not entitled to it,
if he had any incorporating capacity,
will have gotten it. This could not
happen if the Auditor had the disburs-
ing Of the money.
A FINANCIAL TRANSACTION.
But to come to the rest of the trans
action. The Governor appointed l.. e.
McWhorter, son of Judge J. NJ. Nc
Whorter, counsel for the claimants, as
disbursing agent.
The bill was passed February 10,
1897, and became law ninety days
thereafter, or on May IS, 1897. 1t ap-
propriated the sum of s19,159.6S. The
money was in the State repositories
drawing interest for the State at the
rate of 3 per cent. On May
l, the Governor gave to Mr..
McWhorter document which
was, in effect, a commission and
a order On the Auditor for the money.
No sooner did the bill become law
than Mr.. McWhorter went to work to
draw from the treasury in lump sum
this SIS, 1865, which was bringing
back to the State in interest s574.79 a
year. The Auditor, after some hesita-
ito, gave Mr.. McWhorter on May %,
1897, warrant for the money. Forth
with Mr.. McWhorter crossed over and
changed his warrant for checks. On the
same day the treasurer turned over to
him seven checks, two on the Kanawha
Valley Bank, one for $1,5196S, and the
other for $4,000; one on the Commercial
Savings Bank. for $4,000: twd on the

A GOOD HAUL.
A Countryman Relieved of $36 While
Drinking in McGlumphry's Saloon
on Water Stroet-.-TWO Men Arrest
ed on Suspicion..-Justice Haber-
fields Court.

Edward Heinline, stranger from the
country somewhere back of Sisters
vile, swore out warrants yesterday
peIore Justice w. w. Rogers against
Joe Sweeney, from Elm Grove. and
Jack Forsythe, charging them with
robbery. Heinline was relieved of $36
in Bill McGlumphrey joint
On Water street, just above
Twelfth, and he claims Sweeney and
Forsythe did the job. Sweeney, who is
just out OF the pen, was arrested and
placed in Jail. Later he was bailed out
by his mother, Mrs. Gamble, under $500
bail for an appearance Monday after
noon at p. m. Forsythe got clear
away to Bellaire before he was caught.
When arrested he refused to accom-
pany the officers to Wheeling, and was
locked up in the Jail at that place.
Lieut. Ingram and the lawyer for the
defense saw him last night. Forsythe
said his sister was to meet him this
morning and after he had seen her he
would come back across the river with
out any requisition papers.
Heinline claims that Sweeney en-
ticed him to the saloon for a game Of
cards and Forsythe did the SHARK" act,
winning his money.

The Democratic city primary cleo
ton, yesterday afternoon, brought out
a vote fully as large as was expected.
Not only was it the day before Christ
mas, but there were no contests worthy
the name for any office, and conse-
quently little inducement for voters to
leave business or work to cast bal
lot.
The only thing approaching a con-
test in any of the wards was for Coun-
Gil, and at several of the polls there
was a great deal of uncertainty as to
the result.
The detailed result follows:

WILL D|SBAND VOLUNTEERS.
DECISION REACHED TO MUSTER
OUT 100000 MEN.
SOLDIERS WILL Be CONSULTED.
saS1 =. 7se~-r->~rD~.
Those Who Arc DESTROYS OF Rernaininr
In the Service win Be Al.
lowed to DO So.

A Washington special Of wednes-
day says: The president has announce
ed his decision to muster out Of service
from $4,000 TO 100000 OF the volun-
teers. Those to be discharged will
include three branches of service-in-
fantry, artillery and cavalry. The
question Of the mastering ont of the
volunteers has been under considera-
ton for several days.
II was quite evident to begin with
that O considerable force necessarily
would have to be retained. With only
a part OF the volunteer force to be mus
tered out, II becomes delicate ques.
ton to designate the organizations
which should go.
From O prominent official OF the adj
ministration, II is understood to DO
tho desire Of the president TO ascertain
the wishes Of the volunteer troops
themselves, as to remaining In the SER
vice.
One or two organizations have al.
ready indicated desire to leave the
service as soon as the government can
reasonably do without them. They
are composed largely of business and
working men, whose private interests
are suffering by reason OF their absence
from home. So far as the interests Of
the government will permit, II ia be-
lieved that tho president in the mus
tering out OF the volunteers, will
accommodate himself to the desires Of
tho men themselves. With certain
obvious limitations, those troops who
want to be mustered out will be, and
those who desire to continue in the
service will DO retained so long as they
may be needed.
IL may be some time before the
organizations TO be mustered out will
be designated, but the reduction in
the volunteer forces will be made az
soon as possible.
Review Troops ut New York.
President Mckinley has decided
that he will review the heroes Of San
tiago in New York city, II his duties
will permit. He 30 informed Major
General Wheeler, with whom he had
long conference Wednesday and who
is TO assume command at Montauk
Point pending the arrival Of General
Shafter.
Necessarily, the date for the pro-
posed review will be some time dis
tant, as the presidents plans are that
the soldiers at Montauk Point should
have ample time to fully recover from
the effects OF tho severe campaign in
Cuba.
