Chronicle of Daily Events in the
Town Across the Way.

A friend of County Recorder A. S. Tay-
lor, who was making inquiry of the lat
ter's health, at ST. Clairsville yesterday.
says Mr.. Taylor's close friends do not
take a hopeful view of his sickness. The
trouble, which began with a swelling OF
the windpipe, has also affected one lung,
which is practically gone. Mr.. Taylor is
now at Richmond, Ind, at the home of his
brother. He has in late years been an
inveterate smoker and it is thought his
trouble originated from this habit.
The work of laying new steel rails on the
c., L. & W. is progressing rapidly. The
force which started at Holloway has work
ed south as far as the unnel at Flushing.
and the other gang. which started at Ban
mock, is approaching Fairpoint. 1t is ex-
pected that much better time will be made
by freight trains when the work of laying
the new rails shall nave been completed,
and the old fifteen miles an hour speed
will be increased to twenty miles an hour
or better.
Yesterday freight engine No. 10 on the
c., L. & w was taken to the shops for
iepairs, and engine No. IL was brought
down to take its place. The freight traffic
on the road is now very brisk and some
of the crews are pushed to get sufficient
rest between trips. One or more OF the
large 70-ton engines is expected on this
end of the line in the near future to relieve
the pressure Of the freight business.
Yesterday AL. Conoway, game warden.
was in the vicinity of st. Clairsville and
Barton looking for parties whom 1t was
charged had been violating the law by
killing quail out of season. There had
been reports coming from that locality for
some time and the warden determined TO
make an investigation. All the informa-
ton it was possible to get, however, was
hearsay, and no prosecutions will follow
unless something more tangible is found
upon which to work. Sportsmen who are

MARTINS FERRY.


There was a mass meeting of Repub-
licans at the City Building last evening
to discuss the naming of a candidate
to be placed upon the ticket for land
/ appraiser to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of J.. o. Montgomery. There
is a feeling among the rank and file
that the man should be selected by
popular vote, and that the matter
| should not be left to the county execu-
tive committee, as some of the bosses
| are anxious to have done. The law in
! the case has been looked up, and last
| night it was announced that it will be
legal to call another primary election,
and it was consequently decided to pur-
sue this course. The primaries will be
called for tomorrow evening and those
who desire to become candidates are re-
quested to hand in their names to the
chairman of the central committee by
6 o'clock this evening.
A mortgage for SIS, 000, 900 given by

record in the recorders Office at st.

mortgage. 1t is in printed form, only
one copy being furnished, and it
makes about twenty-four pages of rec
ord. The internal revenue stamps
amount to $500. The cost Of record
ing the instrument amounts to $1O.22.
The mortgage covers the entire road,
will all kinds of property included.
The following real estate transfers
have been placed on record during the
past week:
Mary v. E. Cabell to Fred P. Michael,
half of lot 1417; consideration, $55.

1t will not be surprising if Mark
Hanna attempts to turn the churches OF
the State into wigwams for political
rallies before the campaign is over and
requests the prayers of the elders and
deacons at the "Wednesday night meet
ings. Every means known to the willy
politician is being resorted to for the
purpose of defeating the peoples cause
on November 7th. Yesterday the min
listers of the city received a Hanna cir
cular d~enouncing the Cincinnati En-
ouirer, edited by John r. Mclean, as
immoral. Think of the gall required
for such presumption by a mar who
bought his way to the United States
Senate, and who boasts of such polit-
ical associates as Geo. B. Cox! The
ENQUIRER does more for religion and
humanity in a single day than Boss
Hanna has done in a life time, and
those who doubt it should ask the min
ers of the Hooking Valley and the poor
of Cincinnati who have enjoyed the
bounties of the editor. 1t is safe to
say the circular will make ne votes

Congressman Mondell square
ly to the front on the monetary issue
and If gold standard men have the
slightest doubt Of his fealty to honest
money, they should read his eloquent
and logical address delivered in the
house of representatives during the
discussion of the currency bill. In the
course of his remarks he said:
THE bill simply writes on the stat
utes what has been the practice of the
government, hat its obligations are to
-be paid in gold. 1t has never beer
claimed that the double standard is an
ideal condition and the only excuse of
fered for it has been the lack of gold
for all monetary purposes. The treb-
led annual production of gold since 1873
has quieted the fears in that regard,
while rises in prices and advance in
wgaes has given the strongest proof Of
h efficiency of the gold standard. The

A CLARK'S BILL.

Settlers upon abandoned military re-
servatIons will read with considerable
interest Senator Clark's bill for their
relief. 1t provides that each settler
who has made entry of not to exceed
one hundred and sixty acres may take
an additional quarter section for graz
ing purposes. At first blush this bill
would seem to discriminate in favor of
settlers Upon abandoned military res
ervations, but such is not the case, for
take q quarter section under the hon.
stead act and a quarter section under
the desert act, or they may take a half
section under the desert act. Senator
Clark's bill simply gives the settler on
the reservation the right to take an
additional quarter section of grazing
land, the same to be land unfit for cul-
tivation. The requirements to obtain
title are not stated in the bill, the reg
uIations carrying the act into effect
being left entirely with the secretary
Of the interior.
Following is the full text of the bill:
THAT each person that has exercis-
ed the right of homestead entry on any
abandoned military reservation. shall,
upon proper proof Of settlement and
homestead upon land covered by said
entry, be entitled the preference to en-
try, under such rules and regulations
as the secretary Of the interior may
prescribe, one quarter section as pas
ture or grazing land: Provided, That
land so entered and granted be unfit for
cultivation and homestead entry by
reason of lack Of water for irrigating
purposes or otherwise: And provided
further, That said entry of pasture or
grazing land shall not, with the land
therefore entered by the applicant, ex-
coed in the aggregate three hundred
and twenty acres"
