legality to be rested.

The board of ballot commissioners of
Jefferson, county, consisting of two Dem
ocrats, John M. Daniel and ]. F. Engle,
and one Republican, Harry Hopkins.
held a meeting and decided not to place
the name of Frank H. Harrison. candi-
date for the House of Delegates from the
seventh delegate district, on the official
ballot. Mr.. Harmison resides at Berke-
ley Springs, Morgan county. and wasre-
Gently nominated for the House of Dele
gates by the district delegate convention
held at Martinsburg. The action of the
ballot commissioners in refusing to put
his name upon the ticket at the next cleo
ton is taken in order t. test the constitu-
~tiona1ity of an act passed by the Repub-
lican Legislature of 1897 changing the 9TH
delegate district, comprising the counties
of Berkeley Morgan andJeferson, to con-
sist of only the two counties of Jefferson
and Berkeley. The commissioner recog-
nized the fact that while this change in
the district may be unconstitutional, yet
it is not in their power to so determine,
and a. Mr.. Harrison resides outside of
the district, under the recent act, they
have no authority to put his name upon
the ballot.
The State constitution provides that the
first Legislature after every regular CEN
sus is taken shall redistrict the State, and
apportion the delegates in the Legislature
among the several counties of the State,
so that each county shall have represen-
tation, and that said redistricting shall
not be changed by law until another CEN
sus has been taken. This was done by
the Legislature in 1891. which created
the seventh delegate district out of the
above three counties and gave the district
two delegates and the counties of Berke-
ley and Jefferson one delegate EACH
This law remained in force until the Leg
~islature of 1897 attempted to change it so
as to take the county of Morgan out of
the district and leave the district to be
composed of the other two counties, Civ
ing to Morgan county one delegate and
the district one. without increasing the
representation from the three counties. :
1t is commended that this act of the Legis-
lature is unconstitutional. and, under the
law, the only way to get it before the
Court was for the ballot commissioners to
act under the new law and refuse to put
the name of MI. Harrison upon the
ticket.
Mr.. Harrison will now file a petition
before Judge Faulkner, of the Circuit
Court, asking for a mandamus to compel
the ballot commissioners to put his name
upon the ticket. This will raise the ques-
ton of the constitutionality of the above
act of the Legislature. 1t has been deter
mined, no matter what Judge Faulkner's
decision may be, to take the matter at
once, after his decision, to the Supreme
Court, in order to get the constitutional
ity of the act passed upon by the highest
court.
Later.-Judge Faulkner held a special
term of court here yesterday, and issued
the peremptory mandamus as above in
dictated.

A Good APPOINTMENT.

Hon. James d. Butt, whose appoint
mem we recently noted, has been re-
quested by Judge Jackson, of the United
States District Court, to appear in Wheel
ing to-day, and take the oath and qualify
as Referee in Bankruptcy. This is an
important position, and we are pleased to
note the appointment of our popular
countyman thereto. Nj. Butt, who was
born and reared in Jefferson, has the con-
dence and respect o only of his brother
members of the bar here, but of all classes
of our people, regardless of politics, and
his appointment will give much satisfac-
ton. We understand the new Referee
will locate his office in Charles Town, in
connection with Cleon Moore, Esq. This
will be a great convenience to lawyers
and others having business with him, and
will receive a hearty appreciation.

An experience WIN Jay could.

The recent munificent contributions OF
Miss Helen Gould for the care and com.
fort of sick and wounded American sol.
diers from the recent war, calls to mind
an incident related to us a few years age
by a since deceased countyman of ours,
which was about as follows:
The gentleman in question was travel
ing in the cars enroute to Niagara, when
he fell into conversation with a plain but
neatly dressed man, of evident good sense
and quite interesting in conversation
When nearing his destination Mr.. H.
was Intercepted by the stranger, who was
also bound for the same point, as to where
he would stop in Niagara. He replied
that he had not yet selected a hotel, when
the stranger said
II will stop at the - House, a very
good hotel, and you might just as we'll,
if you like, go there also"
Mr.. H. said he would do so. and on ar
rival at the station of; course found the
usual crowd of hackmen calling out for
customers. The gentlemanly stranger,
with grip in hand, remarked that thew
had no need of a hack, the hotel was but a
short distance away, and it would be
more pleasant to walk there. Arrived at
The hotel they registered and were taken
to their rooms, Mr.. H. paying no atten-
lion to the name of his companion, which
1t had not occurred to him to inquire into
He was given an especially elegant room.
however, and it was not long ere he be-
came Enthusiastically aware that he was the
recipient of very marked attention. Not
knowing the cause therefore. it dawned
on him that possibly the strangerin whose
company he came to the hotel was in some
way responsible for this. He
examined the Office register. and fo,,nd
that he had come to Niagara with no lass
a parsonage than the great millionaire
Jay Gould. we'll known there, but mil
then to him unknown-a plain, practical
unassuming gentleman, who as a perfect
stranger had won his highest regard

Mr.. Louis Lsmbright, a brother of Mrs.
Rachel Snyder and Miss Ella Lambright,
of this place, died at his homo in Middle,
town, Ohio, aged II years. He was a
native of Frederick. Md, but had lived
in Middietown for many years, where he
was a prominent resident, having been
postmaster of that city for twenty three
successive years from 1865. On Sunday
his death was unexpectedly followed by
that of his son Schuyler. who was about
thirty years of age.-Saep. Reqister.

Mr.. Samuel Posner. President of the
Retailers Association, has addressed a
letter to the manufacturers of the City
of Baltimore" notifying them that the
Association has nnder consideration he
e%xpediency of holding an industrial Expo
sition to consist chiefly of a display of the
city's manufactured products. 1t is the
purpose to open the Exposition on the 1st
of May, 1890, and to continue it until the
last of July, This is a movement in the
right direction, and if anybody can push
it 10 a successful conclusion it is Mr..
Posner, the popular head of the most
successful latter day business house in
the Monumental City. who has already
headed the list with a subscription of five
hundred dollars, and will, we are sure,
give it earnest and substantial aid from
beginning to end,

Htnoheate,. PresbnterM.


The Presbytery of Winchester, persu-
ant to adjournment, convened at Moore
field August Slst, 1898.
The opening sermon was preached by
Rev. j. j. Fix. of Petersburg, Moderator.
There were present 81 ministers and Is
ruling elders; IL ministers absent and
81 churches nnrepresented. Rev. j. R.
Graham, Jr., a missionary to China, vas
elected moderator. Revs. J. W. Lafferty
and v. G. Smith were chosen clerks. A
petition was presented from a number Of
persons at Parsons and Hendricks asking
that q Presbyterian Church be organized
at those places. Presbytery resolved to
meet at Parsons Sept. 10th and grant the
petition if the way be clear. Rev. @. w.
Hollis rendered his resignation as pastor
of the Davis church and the congregation
was cited to appear by its commissioners
at the meeting to be held at Parsons and
show cause why the resignation should
not be accepted. The committee on
Home Missions made a report from which
it appears that the churches are falling
behind in their contributions. On mo-
ton it was resolved that sessions of the
churches within our bounds make renew
ed efforts to meet the demands of this
part of the church work.
A commission consisting of Reys. A.
@. Hopkins, D. D F. NJ. Woods, D. D.,
Chas. GhiseIin, d. d., j. Il. Moore and
E. d. Washburn, was appointed to report
at the spring meeting of Presbytery "as
TO whether we are doing all we should do
in the matter of Christian education and
if in their judgment we are not, to sug-
gest some plan by which more can be
done in the matter of education of our
children"
On Friday morning the Presbytery
heard, with a large gathering of people,
an excellent address from Rev. j. r
Graham, Jr., on China and his work
among the Chinese.
There was preaching twice every day
attended by large and interested congre-
cations. Presbytery at Moorefeld has
always been a delightful occasion and
this meeting was no exception.
Presbytery adjourned Friday night to.
meet at Parsons on Sept. 10th. It's regu-
lar spring meeting will be held at Cedar
Cliff Church, near Middletown. Wax.
