partly stove in, and had about a
foot of water, or l should say blood
and water, in her bottom.
GAS I looked down in the gang
way think it was the most horri-
BILE sight that l ever witnessed. In
the bottom OF the boat lay two dead
Spaniards, oae with his head COM
pletely shot away. The Spanish
captain was wounded in three
places, and each of the four men
who rowed the boat were more or
less cut up. We slung chair over
the side and carefully hauled him
on board.
Gas he came up the starboard
gangway the marine guard saluted,
and he was received with all the
honors of his rank. AS he stepped
toward me he burst into tears,
threw his hands up in the air, and
with a gesture of utter despair, but
with all the grace of the pretty
gentleman, loosed his sword belt,
and pressing a fervent kiss on the
hilt of the weapon he extended it
toward me. Every man on that
ship knew that that Spaniard wa,
giving up something OF value equal
to his life. I am not very good
natured, but 1 could not take that
sword"
This met with loud cries, "You
did right, Bob," and one lusty-
lunged individual announced that
there was not a man in the country
that would take it. Captain Ev-
ans, who recognized the speaker as
friend from the rural districts,
answered: ':Oh, you don't know
what some of these up country
Pennsylvanians would do. 1t was
a pretty good sword"
Continuing, Captain Evans said:
81 didn't know exactly what to do
with the Spanish captain to get
him into our sick bay. AS l was
about to ask him of his wounds, he
stepped toward the gangway and
looked shoreward. About a quarter
of mile off lay the once magnif
cent vessel, in which he had boast
ed he would tow the Brooklyn back
to Spain.
"She was burning fore and aft,
terrific columns of fire shooting up
around her, and suddenly, with a
burst of tears. Captain Eulate
kissed his hand and babe fond fare
well to the burning hulk, and said,
with impassioned voice, 'Adios,,
Vizcaya.' As he did this the very
same instant there came a tremen-
dous roar, and the Tizcaya maya
zine blew her superstructure hun
dceds of feet in the air. Had the in
cident occurred that way on the
stage anybody would have said 1t
was too we'll timed"

UnbOunded Wealth.

Unbounded in its wealth West
Virginia offers a field of unsur-
passed opportunities for the invest
ment of capitol. The hidden re-
sources of the States mountains
are now beginning to be made
known to the world. The coal
fields are UNNECESSARILY rich. The
quality of the fuel unearthed is as
quantity. Statistics show that
there are approximately $1,000 coal
mines in the State. This, number
IS constantly increasing as new
mines are developed. Competition
and friction among the big coal
operators have resulted in years
gone by disastrously to both miners
and operators, but now these
barriers to thrift have largely
been removed The combina-
ton OF the Kanawha operators
and the agency which handles the
New River district output will have
its beneficial results in time. The
central west is looking to the Little
Mountain State tor millions of tons
of fuel annually. One railway
company-the c. & O.-has within
the past year or so made wonderful
strides towards developing the coal
fields. A decade ago this road was
bankrupt and stranded, but the
present management, with Keen
foresight, saw the possibilities of a
future and grasped them. The
consequence is vast freight traffic
both east and west. This traffic
largely originates in West Virginia.

no GIVE THANKS.
The Governors Issues Proclamation
to the People.


TO the People.
Governor Atkinson issued the
following Thanksgiving proclama-
tod yesterday:
1t is meet and proper, and our
duty as well, to give thanks ITO the
girer of all good and perfect gifts"
of lie, liberty, and for peace and
prosperity in our State and Nation.
We are blessed this year with boun-
tiful harvests. No scourge of dis
ease has come upon us. Plenty of
all the necessaries of life are all
about US. Our people are measur-
ably prosperous, There is an
abundance of opportunity for toll on
every hand. Victory, under God,
has crowned Our arms in the short,
but decisive war with Spain. Our
soldiers and sailors on land and sea,
have brought new .glories to the
Great Republic. The war with
Spain, so wonderfully decisive, has
given downtrodden human beings
all round the world, an uplift in
mental and moral life that will
make all nations broader and big
ger and nobler and grander. Spain
has been Inundated, God has been
honored and the world has been
bettered. We are now in peace
and we are thankful and ought to
be grateful, and l believe we are.
The hand of our God has been up
on us and for our good.
In every portion of our State our
schools and churches are on the up
grade. Our natural resources are
being rapidly developed. Our so
cial affairs are more than gratifying,
there is JOY around Our fresides,
and the spirit of patriotism and of
high endeavor among old and
Young are everywhere manifest.
For all these blessings let God be
praised.
Therefore 1 proclaim Thursday,
November "a, 1898, a day OF general
public and private thanksgiving,
and recommend that the people
OF West Virginia suspend their
usual business avocations and at
tend divine worship in their respec
tive churches, for the purpose of
offering praise to the Giver of all
good; and that in all of our state
institutions the same spirit may be
manifested by a recognition of di-
vine blessings. I also suggest that
the poor may be remembered by
public collections for their benefit.

In the Fourth Dissrfct viii be over
Ioeo--Cause ofth Republican stump
I'm wood County.
Parkersburg, Nov. o-Following
are the estimates on official ma
jorities in The counties of the
Fourth congressional district; For
Freer. Jackson, ass; Roane 40;
Mason 2oI; Putnam 200; Richie,
725; Wood, 445.
For Neal: Calhoun, 800; Cabell,
II3; Lincoln, so; Peasants, 43;
Wayne, AIS; Writ Sc.
Harry Woodward, republican
candidate for the state senate, car
ries Roane county by $50 majority.
1t is estimated Freer's majority will
be over 1000. The above figures
give Freer .eS4 and Neal I,o37.
Judge Freer is here. He came
in yesterday evening. He has
been confident all along of his
election, and he is receiving the
congratulations of his friends. To-
day, by the way, the judge is cele-
brating not only his triumphant
election. but his ffty-third birthday
as we'll. He feels proud of the
support his home county of Richie
gave him.
The Fourth senatorial district,
which has been largely democratic,
narrowly elects R. F. Kidd. demo.
crat, over M. B. Morris, republi-
can.
The slump in Parkersburg, due
to the criminal judgeship fight, in
which ]. NJ. Jackson secured his
election by the use of money and
other means by his friends, was the
cause of Morris defeat. Here are
the figures: Kidd-Gilmer, 32s;
Calhoun, IS; Writ, so, Peasants,
IS; total, SIS. Morris-Wood,434;
Kldd's estimated majority, 81.
The big increase in the republi-
can vote in the county precincts
was all that saved Wood county.
Parkersburg missed going demo-
cratic by only So votes.

RELICS OF THE WAR
Brought From Porto Rico by Mr.. i. HI.
SimOns.
VIM. M. D. Dawson,
Secretary of State.

Brought From Porto Rico by Mr.. i. HI.
Ike H. Simons, the we'll known
clothier, of Bradford, Pa. and this
city, arrived in town last evening,
and will spend two weeks of his
furlough here. Mr.. Simons, while
a member of Company c, Sixteenth
Pennsylvania, holds position on
the staff of Col. Ewing, who is in
command of that regiment. He is
looking exceedingly well, and says
that army life had been very con-
genial to him. He expects that his
regiment will be mustered out OF
the service on the 3Ist inst.
Mr.. Simons has seen active
service, and has acquitted himself
creditably throughout. He has
brought to this city with him
hne collection OF war CuIlOS
and Spanish firearms. Included in
the collection is one of the famous
Mauser rifles, which can carry their
deadly missiles a distance of three
miles. The weapon is quite un-
wieldy but it's mechanism is ex.
cetlent, and bears the impress OF
accuracy and reliability. Mr..
Simons also has one of the machetes
which have figured some prom
inently in the bloody history of
Cuba. 1t is an ugly looking piece
of steel, pointed and narrow, with
sharp edge, and is destructive
weapon when in practiced hands.
These relics came from Porto
Rico and were received from var
ious sources. The rife was given
him by wounded Spaniard to
whom he had given succor.

An Editor Loose.

This Is the way the editor feels
when he does his statement in
blank verse:
II would flee from the city's rule
and law-from it's fashions and
forms cut loose-and 60 where the
strawberry grows on its straw and
the gooseberry grows on its goose;
where the catnip tree is climbed by
the cat as she clutches for her prey
the guiless and unsuspecting rat
on the rattan push at play; I will
catch with ease the saffrow COW and
the cowlet in her glee as they leap
from bough to bough on the top of
a cowslip tree; and list while the
partridge prums his drum and the
woodchuck chucks his wood, and
the dog devours the dogwood plum
in the primitive solitude.
"O1et me drink from the moss
grown pump that was hewn from the
pumpkin tree! Eat mush and milk
ftom rural stump, from folly and
fashion free-new gathered mush
from the mushroom vine, and milk
from the milkweed sweet-with
pineapple from the pine. And then
to the white-washed dairy I'll turn,
where the dairymaid Fastening
HES; her rudy and golden-red
butter to churn from the milk of
her butterflies; and I'll rise at morn
with the. earliest bird, to the fra
grant farmyard pass, and watch
while the farmer turns his herd of
grasshoppers out to grass Pacific
Union.

ROOSEVELT'S VICTORY.
Will Have 10. 533 PIuraIity-New York
Legislature Safely Republican,


New York, Nov. o.-Practically
complete returns on the vote for
governor il the entire state give
Roosevelt. Rep, plurality of
1883. The democratic plurality
in Greater New York was S2,2o3.
The falling off in Roosevelt's
plurality as compared with Blacks
in 1896, is due to decrease in the
republican vote up to the state of
81, 900 and in Greater New York of
$4,000. Against this Van Wyck
gained 10000 above the Harlem,
and $1,000 below it as compared
with Porter two years ago.
The result on congressman In
in this state seems to have sur
prised even the democrats them
selves. Nineteen of their candl-
dates were elected, the republicans
getting but fifteen. In the present
house the New York delegation
stands twenty-seven republicans to
six democrats. In Greater New
York all the democratic candidates
were elected.
After the gubernatorial contest
as much interest was taken in the
state legislature as in anything else.
The state senate will be republican
by four and the assembly by twenty.
Political interest from now on will
center about the senatorship and al
ready discussion as to the probable
aspirants has begun. So far there
Is no announced candidate and the
republican organization has not de-
clared itself.
