A SENSATION
Created by The Marriage Of Jllgl
to aWest yligiaia tad.

A sensation has been created
at Charlestown by the events con;
nected with the marriage OF Elk.
Judge Thos. j Mackey, formeiy
of the South Carolina Supreme
Court, and Miss Katherine Port.
erfeld, daughter of Col. Geo. a.
Porterdeld, Cashier Of the bank
of Charlestown. The ceremony
took place in Charlestoyn. q
couple of weeks ago, and created
a mild sensation at the time, as
the ex-judge is SO years old.
Immediately after the cere-
mony the couple left for Wash.
ington. Judge Mackey requested
that the affair be not published
in the city newspapers, as he did
not desire fora New York woman
to know it. The couple remain
ed in Washington two days, after
which they went to Plainfield, N.
j. Just about this time it trans
pred that Judge Mackey had q
divorced wife in South Carolina
and a wife not divorced living in
New York. Wife No. 2 at once
instituted proceedings for his ar
rest on the charge of abando-
ment. He was arrested and
taken to Harlem police court,
where he was held for examina-
ton. Following Mrs. Mackey
home, he confessed his marriage
to Miss Porterfeld, but said he
had done so against his will. He
said also that Miss Porterfeld
did not know of his former mar
riage. Mrs. Mackey commanded
him to leave the house, which he
did, and he has not been heard
from until last Wednesday, when
she received a telegram from
Pittsburg. saying that he had
left New York in fear of arrest,
and wanted to know if she would
shield him if he returned. She
did not answer his telegram and
he has not been heard from since.
The history of the double life led
by Mackey reads like fiction.
He is a noted lawyer OF dis.
tineuished family, and is noted
iurist and author. He is a native
of Charleston, S. c., and mis-
father was prominent as 9 jurist
in that section. He was born in
1929 and in early life began the
study OF law. His eloquence and
profound knowledge Of the law
soon raised him to the front
rank as a iurist, and he was in
1855 appointed a Supreme Court
Judge Of the State of South Caro-
lima.

The case OF John Patton and
Others VS.. the county court of
this county and the bridge COM
pany was argued before Judge
Hagans at Morgantown Monday
and submitted on a motion to dis
solve the injunctions granted by
Judge Freer and Judge Hagans a
few weeks ago. The plaintiffs
seek to enjoin the county court
from purchasing the new bridge
across Elk creek, they claiming
that the court had no legal right
to purchase the bridge. 1t is
more than likely that the injunc-
ton will be dissolved and the case
decided in favor of the county
court.

SIS
The speech Of Mr.. Herman

Senator was an oratorical. effort
of the kind that enthuses an
audience. His climaxes were
prudently distributed and his

which he acquittedhimself at the

CONVENTION
At West unIen Gonln,tss Anthony Smith
for Senator.

Inc hepuDllCan uOuluatluS
convention for the Third Sena.
torial district which was held at
West Union on last Saturday was
by Tar the liveliest convention
that has been held in the district
for many years. The leading
candidates were Mr.. Anthony
Smith, OF Tyler county. and Har-
vey W. Harmer, Esq, OF Clarks-
burg. Mr.. Harmer was not a
candidate until short time be.
fore the convention but his
friends made a magnificent fight
for him and practically carried
the day. The convention was
called to order at ii a. m. by
Hon. J. W. Stuck who named @.
4. Haddox, ESQ, of Richie, for
ermensnt chairman. The usual
Committees were selected and a
recess taken until two o'clock.
The court house was well filed
st the re.assembling and the sew
eral committees reported without
delay. The temporary was made
the permanent organization. The
resolutions were lengthy and
patriotic. endorsing the wise and
prudent administration of Presi-
dent Mckinley and calling upon
the nominee Of the convention to
cast his vote for Judge Nathan
Cot for U, S. Senator to succeed
Mr.. Faulkner and further in
structing him to vote for Hon. S.
B. Elkins to succeed himself in
1901. The resolutions on this
subject graphically portrayed the
manner in which the Republicans
would trlumphantly march to
victory this fall under COTS
leadership and stated that with
Golf and Elkins in the Senate.
West Virginia would have the
ablest representatives that grac-
ed the upper house of Congress.
But two names we're placed
before the convention when nomi-
nations were called for and then
began the balloting. 1t was ap.
parent that after ex-senator
Presley Morris and Hon. Chas.
Mcknight had withdrawn from
the race, there would be a close
battle between Harmer and
Smith. Harmer got over a third
of Smiths home county and just
half of Doddrldge. Harrison
gave Harmer % and Smith two.
Richie was to decide the contest
and majority of that county
being for Mr.. Smith the unit rule
was adopted which gave Ritchie's
solid vote 10 Smith and made him
enough to nominate. While a
delegate from Richie was kick
ing about the unit rule, Harrison
adopted Ritchie's method and de-
cided in like manner that her 80
votes be cast for Harmer which
was sufficient to change the re-
suit and nominate Harmer by one
majority. Then there was a
hot time in the old town" Every

to a protocol embodying the
original language of President
McKinley's proposition. leaving
all details to future consideration.
If this is not accepted by to-mor-
row night new orders will, it is
stated, be issued to Admiral
Sampson which will send a fleet
across the Atlantic and Gen. Mer-
rift will be directed to assault
Manila with naval cooperation.
The. acceptance of our terms
by Spain will compel the admin
istration at once to take up a
number of serious problems. Pro
vision will have to be made for
the occupation and subsequent
government of the territory to
be annexed as a result of the
war. 1t will be necessary to es-
tablish a new government in
Cuba, and to occupy the Island
with a large military force until
tits entirely pacifed and some
decision is arrived at as to its
future status.
The most pressing problem be-
fore the administration is the
providing Of troops. A large
force, of course, will be needed
to occupy the conquered terri
tory and to permanently garrison
it. How to secure this force is
the problem. AT the present time
there are in the military service
more than three hundred thous-
and men. OF course, this is
enough for all purposes; but, un-
der the existing laws, all these
troops will disappear at once on
the acceptance of a peace treaty.
The regular army reorganization
bill provides that Immediately
upon the ending of q war, the
regular army shall be reduced to
neace basis-that is, "a 600
men. The act providing for a
volunteer army says, in section
4, that the volunteer army shall
be maintained only during the
existance of war, or while war is
imminent; and thatall the officers
and men composing said army
shall be discharged from the
service of the United States when
the purpose for which they were
called INTO service shall have
been accomplished or on the con-
clusion of hostilities."
The amendments to the naval
appropriation bill will provide
for an increase in the naval es-
Enlistment also limited that in
creases to the present war. 1t
will thus be seen that should
peace be declared in the imme-
diate future, as is thought posi-
BILE by many, all the present
military forces would have to be
disbanded over and above the
regular peace establishment OF
the army and navy.
So embarrassing is the contem-
plat,on Of this situation that. ac-
cording to announcement from
Washington, the President has
decided to call special session
of Congress to provide ways and
means for governing the conquer
ed territories and to authorize
the maintenance of sufficient
military and naval forces. OF
course, 1t goes without saying
that Congress will promptly au-
thorize the necessary military
strength, and that it may do SO
in ample time, the call for the
extra session is soon to be issued,
It is believed that the acquisition
of so much new territory will de-
velop number of new problems
which Congress alone will nave
power tocope with.
