LEAGUE Bros,
SENATOR CASE.

The State court of appeals has
just rendered an opinion, settling a
controversy involving timber lands
in Green brier counties. By the de-
cision ex-senator J. n. Camden,
of Parkersburg, establishes his title
to body Of land, which was dispu-
ted by Dewing & Sons, manufactur-
ers of lumber products at Kalama-
zoo Mich, anu holders of large
tracts of land in West Virginia.
The case was on the records
as that of Camden VS.. Dewing &
Sons, but in the general references
made to i t during i t progress
it better known as b g UNITED
States Senator case," because among
the many, parties interested were
four ex-United States senators and
one Senator. The ex-Senators we're
Allen It. Caperton, johnson n.
Camden, and Henry G. Davis, of
West Virginia, and R. NJ. T. Hun
ter, once a distinguished senator
from Virginia. The Senator was
Stephen B. Elkins. In addition
several congressman and ex-con-
gressmen are said 10 have in some
way or other appeared on the records
Among the latter was that of G. P.
Dorr, late congressman from this
West Virginia district.
TIE case was originally 10 the
dircuit court of Greenbrier county.
During its progress it Was removed
to the circuit court of Berkeley in
which Judge Boyd Faulkner decid-
ed that Camden was entitled to the
lands. From this decision Dewing
& Sons appealed. In the conrt of
appeals the decision OF the
Berkeley circuit court was affirmed
and the lands awarded to Camden,
subject to the payment of certain
taxes, purchase money, and several
other considerations,
The controversy arose out of the
purchase several years ago, by Win
chester & Hutton, OF tie lands in.
volvod in the case just decided.
The purchase was effected through
agents and u conflict of claims en-
sued, Camden contendiug that tue
purchase had been made in his in.
terest and DeNing & Sons that it
had been made 10 theirs.
The land was originally patented
by Morris, tbs financier OF the Rev.
olution.
Aside from its general State in.
terest the case has local interest
because OF the fact that it is VIC
tory for a Charleston law firm, Mol
lohan & McClintic, and their young
associate, W. G. Mathews, who rep
resented Mr.. Camden.
Deweng & Sons were represented
by Judge Ice, of Philippi, and E.
D. Talbot, of Beverly.
Dewing & Sons recently sold to
the parties constructing the pulp
works at Covington. Va, fifty or
sixty thousand acres of land on the
headwatc.s of Cheat aud Greenbrier
rivers.

Richest Nation in the World.

Those who remember the vigorous
demands made by numerous speakers
in the last Presidential campaign in
favor of increasing the amount OF
money in circulation will be interested
in the official statement that during
the last twenty years the amount of
circulating medium in the United
States has been more than doubled;
that 1t has increased more than SO per
cent since 1886, and more than rs per
cent since July 1, 1896. No period in
our history has shown more rapid
growth in the amount of money in
circulation than the last few years.
At present it aggregates nearly 3d.
100000 and the rate OF increase since
July l, 1896 has been nearly 100000
for each business day. At present
there is in circulation an amount Of
money equal to S25 for every man,
woman and child in the United States,
and nearly one-third of this is in gold
coin. No other country on the face OF
the globe can boast the possession Of
so much current wealth.-Leslie's
Weekly,
