The story that delegation of Hat
fields armed to the teeth, were on their
way to the capital to Stay the two Nc
Coy's in the Legislature, proves to be
a canard.
Nearly every member of the Legisla-
ture will go down to Huntington on a
special train Thursday, where they
will be given a banquet by the Cham
Der of Commerce of that city, the oc-
casion being the dedication of the first
building of the Asylum for Incur
ables.
Bill Dave" Goshorn is here, and the
many inquiries as to his whereabouts
have ceased. BILL Dave" is filled to
the brim with effervescent enthusiasm
anent the Pan American Exposition.
He came from Buffalo to endeayor to
persuade Governor Atkinson to re-
commend to the Legislature an APP
preparation of $4,000 for a West Vir-
ginia exhibit at the big show.
There is a bill in the Legislature
fixing the compensation of court stem
ographers. 1t is the outgrowth, it is
said, of the alleged exorbitant charges
of the official stenographer at the
Eastman murder trial in Parsons,
Tucker county. His bill was $43 a
day. Clerk Harris, of the Senate, to-
gether with his assistant, Louis E.
Schrader, of Wheeling, and other
stenographers here, have prepared a
tabulated statement of the rates allow
ed in other states, which will be pre-
scented to the committee which con-
siders the bill.
One of the most important measures
in the House was offered by Mr.. Davis,
of Harrison. 1t provides for special
election next May, to ascertain the
sense of the voters relative to the hold
ing of a constitutional convention. If
the verdict of the people be favorable,
the bill provides that the Governor
shall cause his proclamation declaring
the result to be published in the news
papers, and that another election shall
be held on the Tuesday following the
first Monday in November next. At
this election fifty-one delegates shall
be chosen, twelve from the State at
large, and three from each senatorial
district The bill provides that the
convention shall be held at the State
capital, beginning on the third We'd
nesday in December 1899, the consti-
tuition so formed to be submitted to
the voters for ratification or rejection.
