ssfied in the knowledge of work well
done and with evidence Of sincere APP
probation on the part of his parishion-
ers.

debt Of $1400 has been removed, a new
parsonage has been purchased for $4,000
and paid for. and there is a balance in
the bank to the credit of the society of

The rumored absorption of the
Kanuwha and Michigan Railroad
by the Hooking Valley Railroad
Company, with the possibility of
j. Pierpoint Morgan being in the
deal, has caused quite stir in the
business circles of this city. The
sale of the Kanawha and Michigan.
or the Ohio Central lines to a syn
dictate of wealthy capitalists means,
first of all, practically a new road
bed and track, with sidings, spurF
tracks and general equipments uf-
ficient to handle the large business
for which the road has been pur-
chased 1t means also that the big
coal operators of Ohio are coming
to West Virginia-the Kanawha
Valley-to invest their money.
The Ohio coal, very inferior coal
when compared with the West Vir-
ginia product, is being rapidlyex-
hausted 1t could never have held
it's place in the markets on the
lakes in competition with West
Virginia coal, but for it's proximity
to these markets, saving in trans
portation chare es sufficient to adj
nit of prices that would selliib
Since this inferior product hes
about been exhausted the Ohio OPP
orators are seeking coal elsewhere.
Several operations will be opened
up east of here on the X & M.
within the next six months. The
Sunday Creek Coal Co., the OHIO
operators who purchased the Boom
er mines, opposite Mt. Carbon,
some months ago, have been fol
lowed by w. p Rend, the million
aire coal dealer of Chicago, who
has purchased a large tract of coal
land on Boomer Branch.
With the Kanawha and Michi-
gan railroad equipped sufficiently
to handle the business, it is safe to
say that largo share of the coal
necessary to supply the lake trade
will go from the Kanawha Valley
With the purchase of the Ohio
Central lines, and the @. S. and b,
by the Hooking Valley system, the
latter will get rid of competing
line from the Ohio river to Colum-
bus and to the lake, and the gener-
al officers of two companies will be
abolished, the entire new system
coming under one management.
1t is believed that at least two
hundred employees will lose their
places by reason of the new order
of things.
Charleston will be greatly bene-
fitted by the change, as it will re-
suit in the opening of a great deal
of valuable coal property on the
north side of tho river east of here
and will necessarily bring to the CITY
considerable commercial business.

An unknown woman was also found

and Hawkins, of the New York office,
have been drowned. The two men left
Harris island for City Island on Thurs
day morning to deliver the mails. They
were in a small boat and the high wind
that was blowing and the floating ice
made it impossible for them to control
their craft

General Otis Reports business Revival

Vigilance Is Still Exercised
by the Americana.

Manila, Feb. 13.-Pursuing their
customary tactics, the insurgents on
the extreme left opened fire at long
range on the American troops, main
tanning their fire for few minutes be-
fore settling down. None of their shots
took effect, however, and the Amerl-
cans did not reply. All was quite along
the rest of the line.
The splendid successes of the Ameri-
can troops throughout last week have
not caused them to relax their vigil
ance in the least. On the contrary, our
troops are even more alert than ever,
IL that were possible. Guards have been
posted on all the roads leading out of
the city to prevent the insurgent SYM
pathizers within from Joining the enc
my or from making an attack upon our
rear. The sontries have orders to al
low no one to pass except Americans
and IInglishmen. Even native coach
men have been turned back, and Amer
fcan or English visitors to the scenes of
the recent battle have been forced to
drive their army carriages.
