ments and ratio other than l6 to were
the same as those with whichihe has re.
galed the rest of the state and were re-
ceived by the crowd tor just what they
were worth. Mr.. Wolcott said that all
Coloradoans are for silver, that there
could be no issue on the question here,
and even If there could it would be only
a secondary issue anyhow. His vicious
stabs at John F. Shafroth, the silver
alliance candidate for congress served
as a strong recommendation of that gen.
tleman to Boulder people.

day at Nc. 1903 Market street, over
the Germania Half Dollar Savings bank
and will receive volunteers for the First
West Virginia Regiment, stationed at
Chickamauga. Lieut.. Corners has re-

and the recruiting officers do not APP
prehend the least trouble in securing
the 1913 volunteers that are wanted.
Forty applications have been received
from New Cumberland alone, and
nearly that many more are on file
from this city and other places.
The recruiting squad here has re-
ceived instructions from Adjutant Gen.
eral Sheridan to go to Warrington and

are confident that this will not be
necessary. Only first class men will
be taken, and arrangements will be
made to muster in all volunteers and
send them to the front Immediately.
Every night those who succeed in
passing the examination will be trans
ported to Chickamaugt in the care of
a responsible man. DR.. Hughes, of
Moundsville, will conduct the physical
examinations. When the recruits ar
rive at Chickamauga they will be
equipped and uniformed at once.
Those who enlist and Join the West

cruiting officers are very indignant

get any recruits. Lieut.. Corners and

and be ready to return to their regi-
ment within week. Those who wish
to enlist should apply at once or they
may lind themselves snul out.

FIRE THIS MORNING.
A Blaze at the Plant of the Wheeling
Stamping Works.

Blaze at the Plant of the wheeling
Stamping Works.
At quarter past one o'clock this
morning an alarm from box No AZ
called a portion Of the department to
Main street and Alley IS, the occasion
being fire in the southern portion Of
the plant Of the Wheeling stamping
works, at Alley IS and Water streets.
The fire was discovered by night watch
man Surgisson, who detected smoke
coming through small openings in the
division wall, but as all the commune
eating doors had been built up, he could
not get at the fire. and the firemen had
to break in windows to gain an en-
trance.
The fire evidently started from new
furnace erected to melt brass. The ex-
tent of the loss could not be ascertained,
but it is evidently small, although the
whole of the immense building was fill
ed with wood smoke.
At three o'clock this morning the
Chemical company was called back to
the scene OF the fire, which appeared
to have started again.
