The announcement that was made
few days ago that the Second West
Virginia had already started south
was a trihe premature. They had not
yet left camp although the orders to
get ready to move had been given.
They will get away in a very short
time however as the first of the troops
to go left Middletown to-day and the
others will follow closely after.
The whole corps will be in their
new camp, at Augusta, Georgia by the
middle of November. The Second
corps will be there under General
Graham who is said to be the best
officer and the most popular Que in
the whole camp. He has had the
matter of moving the men in his hands
and he has kept them back until now
on account Of the fear Of yellow fever
before the weather turned cold. The
danger having now passed the men
are ordered to move.
Three camps will be established.
One Of these are at Augusta. another
at Summerville and the third at Co
lumbia. They will be kept until the
weather in Cuba gets much cooler and
then the men will be embarked for
their new homes for the next two
years.
The first regiment is still at Knox

winter clothing and have oil stoves
in the tents which are quite comfort
able according to the letters which
have been received here from the boys
from this place who are in the regi-
ment. They will also be sent to Cuba
sometime in the future. They do
not want to go anymore than the
men in the other regiments but their
wishes will not be consulted any more
than those of their comrades who
have already been assigned to duty.

ELECTION ASSURED.
Hon. j. H. Marcum's Name VIII APP
pear on the Putnam County Ballot
Supreme Court Acted Promptly.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, October 90
The Supreme Court held special
session to-day to hear arguments on
the application Of J. H. Marcum for
writ OF peremptory mandamus to
compel the ballot commissioners of
Putnam county to place his name on
the ballot as the Democratic candi-
date for the State Senate
After hearing the argument of the
lawyers, the court awarded the writ
without leaving the bench for consul
tation, as is usually the case.
j. FL. Marcum was nominated for
State Senator by the regular Demo-
cratic convention for the Sixth Sena.
torial district, composed of the coun-
ties of Cabell, Putnam and Wayne.
The delegates from Putnam bolted
the convention because of the nomi-
nation Of man from Cabell, when
they believed Putnam entitled to the
candidate. The Putnam convention
organized and nominated John p Kirt-
ley. His nomination was certified to
the ballot commissioners of Pullman
county by the chairman and secretary
of the meeting held by the Putnam
delegates, while the chairman and
secretary of the convention certified
the nomination of J. H. Marcum.
The ballot commissioners of Putnam
placed the napIe of Kirtley on the
ballot, but they will now have to take
1t Off and put on the name ofMarcum.
This will insure the election of the
Democratic candidate in the Sixth
district, while if Kirtley's name had
remained on the ballot the Republ-
can candidate would probably have
been elected.

Thick Skinned.

Senator Elkins' idea of prosperity
is to borrow neighbours private car
and travel around the country in it
to avoid paying railroad fare, and also
to prevent the common people from
communicating his superfine person by
contact. But worse than the fact is
his Boosting of it in his public Speeches.
1t might be imagined that the Senator
would have enough respect for the
feelings Of those whose accommodate
ing spirit enables him to enjoy free
rides in luxury, and also to bar the
public from his presence, not to make
public boasts of his deadheadery.
But the Senator has an alligator cut

WE WIN AGAIN.
Marietta again goes down before
the Mountain Boys.

Same old Score 6 to Oft shonld have
been larger but Lawrence Dana pre-
vented it-South gets slugged at an
other time and drops the ball.-A
great big Tremendous Crowd
sees the Contest which is very fine
one-Other Notes.
For the fourth consecutive time
the University has defeated Mariet-
ia and for the fifth time they have
scored six points in game against
their Ohio rivals. Tue latter should
have the game at Clarksburg Satur-
day according TO the way things
stood before the game began but the
Varsity boys made up their minds
that such thing should not happen
and shey went INTO the game TO win.
The excursion from hereFdid not
attract as large crowd as was ex-
pected but sixty-two tickets were
sold and a number had gone up on
the day previous SO that there we're
nearly one hundred from here who
saw the contest. The roads center
ing into the town all brought in
large numbers OF people and one
thousand people saw the game The
train from Weston had very large
number on board. They came in
with a brass band and some very
fine decorations on their cars.
The day was delightful one and
the players played with unusual
vim. Marietta kicked off and the
University soon showed that they
were going TO win the game, Nearly
every time substantial gain was
made and there was no doubt as to
the result.
One touchdown was made in the
first half and beautiful goal was
kicked by Anderson. South made
the touchdown. This was all the
scoring that was done although in
the second half South would have
made another had he not be slugged
so that he dropped the ball. When
time was called one more rush would
have put it over the line. Time was
not up but Mr. Lawrence Dana said
that it was SO that settled it.
The University boys had the vic
tory and they did not insist on the
point.
Yeager and Donley were out OF
the game but their>substitutes filled
the places all right. White, South,
McWhorter, Anderson, Whitman,
McGregor in fact all the men played
star games or we would not have
won.

PANA, Ills, Nov. 19.-Non-union col
ored miners ard white strikers have
clashed i'll the streets of this city again.
Several hundred shots were fired, but
the com batants did their shooting from
behind trees and hedges, consequently
40 blood was spilled.
The trouble is said to have been
started by an unknown negro firing
upon Wesley Pope, striker. Pope says
he was walking near the Springside col
iery, where the negroes are quartered,
when he was fred upon. He secured d
rifle and reinforcements. Meantime the
negroes appeared in force and the shoot.
ing had became general.
After several hundred shots had beer
exchanged the negroc3 retreated to thell
stockade.
The militia arrived too late to get
into action, but are patrolling thu
Springside district in force.
