ELKlRS.

ELKINS, w. Va, December 9.-The
Adams Express Company is soon TO
give Elkins free delivery. The express
office has been removed from the West
Virginia Central e Pittsburg railway
depot to commodious rooms in the Har-
vey block, in the central part of town,
and in charge of d. A. Edwards, the
efficient express agent, Elkins will have
one of the most satisfactory express
services in the State.
1t was reported some days ago that
the Beverly Bank, recently chartered,
would remove to Elkins TO begin bust
ness. This, however, is incorrect, DIR.
Yokum, one of the principal promoters,
stating to your correspondent to-day,
that the bank would begin business at
Beverley on December 10th. William
Armstrong, of Parkersburg, is TO be
cashier.
Quite number of deer have been
brought in from the mountains by
hunters this fall. This class of game IS
not so plentiful as it was a few years
ago, and hunter who brings back the
antlers of fine buck as a trophy is
considered among the luckie5t of the
lucky. Small game, however, abounds
in the woods of Randolph and adjoining
counties.
BLACK" an obscure station on the
line Of the Roaring Creek & Charleston
railroad, some ten miles from Belling-
ton, may soon become the center Of
another mining region, fifty men being
at work now, opening the famous
Roaring Greek coal vein, which is found
there. A number of new houses are
already under way.
Land holders, excited by the big de-
mand for coal lands, are beginning to
push up the price for above what it
was some years ago, and even some
weeks ago. Owners of coal lands near
Laurel, this county, met some days ago
and adopted a uniform price of $40 per
acre for their holdings.

MEANS MUCH FOR THE CITY.
! Project on Foot to Establish a
Zinc and Lead Shelter Here,
Which May BE Expanded Into a
Lead Pipe WOrks-Yesterday'
Stock Quotations-Henry C1ews'
views-Other Business Affairs.

Within the past few days a move
ment has been inaugurated by local
business men having for it's object the
establishment in this city of an en-
tirely new industry in the shape of a
lead and zinc smelling plant. The
mines of Missouri producing these ores
involve important local interests, and
the proposition is TO bring the raw
material to Wheeling and smelt it with
cheap fuel rather than haul the fuel
to Missouri and extract the metal
there. There are at least two such
plants in Pittsburg, which have made
very satisfactory returns, and Wheel
ing is fully as close to the Eastern
market, and besides there is a very
large local consumption of both zinc
and lead-much larger, perhaps, than
is generally imagined. A large amount
of data has been secured by the gem
tlemen interested, and they are so
favorably impressed with the project
that a movement to secure a site is
we'll under way. 1t is also intimated
that eventually lead pipe works may
be added to the plant.

The Lackawanna railroad had no in
terest in the hearing before the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, at Wash
ington, on December 6, at which time
the largest railroads in the United
States, through their representatives
petitioned the Commission for further
time in which to comply with the law
requiring that all cars shall Ibe equip
ped with automatic couplers. When
this law was first passed the Lack
awanna railroad began with vigor to
carry out this provision, and year
ago, every car which had been re-
turned to the road from its connecting
and foreign lines has been so equipped.
During the present year these cars have
been provided with automatic couplers
and to-day every one of the thirty
thousand cars of the road is so equip
ped. Only five other railroads in the
United States have complied fully with
the law regarding the equipment of
cars with automatic couplers.

that the market should have ample sea-
son In which to permit q runaway.
speculation which might easily invite
severe reactions and general de-
struction Of confidence. There are in
dications that this view is taken by
some of the influential interests in the
Street" who while committed to bull
ish views in the long run are not at
this time willing to lend their powerful
aid to any upward movement.
An even more important factor in the
situation than the disposition of big
operators, one in fact which largely
controls them, is the money market.
High rates for money do not always
prevent bull movement: but it is
quite certain that just now any such
campaign would be quickly brought to
grief by prOhibitive rates. The bank
reserves are much below the usual
average of the season. Trade activ-
ity retards the return of funds from
the interior. The treasury continues to
absorb money, and the offer to buy
bonds affords only partial relief, as
holders have other uses for them than
the interest they pay. In short, there
is large and perfectly healthy demand
for money, which can not freely be met
because of a cumbersome and anti
quated currency system which pre-
vents expansion or contraction ac-
cording to the needs of the moment.
January disbursements will amount to
probably $150,000,000, preparations for
which will keep money more or less
active meanwhile. Still another fac
tor of Importance must be reckoned
with, and that is foreign exchange.
Sterling has advanced owing to the
high rates in London, the Bank of
England rate of discount being at its
highest point since the Barring panic.
1t cannot be said that this stringency
is due to weakness or fear, but rather
to a prudent determination Of the Bank
of England to protect its gold reserve
and prevent demands from the Argen-
tine or elsewhere. Trade activity is
almost worldwide, so the demand for
money on this account is not limited
to the United States; and with partial
cessation of the gold supply through
the TranSvaal war it is not surprising
that London should take means of self
protection. Gold exports from the
United States may happen, but do not
seem probable, for money rates would
quickly harden in response to any such
movement. AS said above the local
market is not likely to get any relief
through the medium of foreign ex-
change for some time to come. There
are fair offerings of bills against re-
mittances and manufacturing exports,
xv1i1Q no cIyrnIu of ORC in md cotton
bills is much below the average. Con-
ditions are somewhat strained in Ber
lin, and a pinch there or in London
would of course be to some extent re-
flected here.

VIEWS OF HENRY CLEWS.

Special TO the Register.
NEW YORK, December 9.-Some
disappointment is expressed at the tar
diness which the stock market shows
In responding to the many existing ia
vorable conditions. With unusual
prosperity in all parts of the country
it has been reasonably and genarally
supposed that higher prices would pre-
vail during the fall and early winter
months. So far, these expectations
have not been realized, chiefly because
of the high rates and limited supply of
money. For ordinary business pur-
poses there appears to be no serious
lack of funds at good yet not exorbi-
tant rates; while the moment specula-
tive demands assert themselves with
any force stringency is at once preva-
lent This restraint has its advant-
ages, in that it cools the ardor of over
enthusiastic or indiscreet bulls, and
paves the way for a more substantial
movement later on. 1t is far better

An Unusual Condition.

cate very unusual condition of affairs
in that, in many cases, supplies OF
stock are completely exhausted, and
on an advancing market prices can
not be quoted. In some cases, not
ably in white paper lines, all quota
lions are withdrawn from the trade,
and the result is that those wishing
to place orders must rely upon stocks
In printers hands or else pay the best
price obtainable from day to day.
There are still considerable quantities
of paper in the hands of printers and
publishers, but this supply can last
but a short time, and those contem-
plating orders should lose no time in
placing them, as a very considerable
saving will result. These remarks ap-
ply to other things beside paper, and
the business public should govern itself
accordingly.

IMPORTANT POINTS
Inve1ved In the Hawk Mandamxs
Case Disposed of BY the supreme
Caurf Erfdnx.

Court Friday.
Special to the Register.
CHARLESTON, W. Va. December 8.
The case of John L. Stafford. prose-
cutting attorney of Mingo county.
against Warden Hawk, of the peniten-
tiary, disposed of by the Supreme Court
yesterday, involved something more
than the mere question of admitting q
prisoner to the penitentiary who had
been sentenced and afterward granted
a reprieye by the Governor. 1t involv-
ed the question of whether the Cover
nor has the right or authority to re-
prieve person under any sentence 9TH
er than that of capital punishment.
The constitution and statutes OF the
State are not clear upon the subject.
and the attorneys in the case were un-
able TO cite any authorities in the law
books bearing directly upon the case.
The attorneys for Stafford eontended
that the Governor has authority to
grant reprieyes is under the sentence or
death, and that in granting reprieve
to Elias Hatfield the Governor en-
croached on the rights and prerogatives
of a coordinate branch of the State
government, which the constitution
provided should be separate and dis
tinct.
The attorneys for Hawk, on the other
hand, contended that the constitution
gave the Governor, in specific terms, the
authority to grant reprieves and par
dons, and made no distinction between
persons sentenced TO capital punishment
and those sentenced to imprisonment in
the penitentiary. His authority to par
don in any case was unquestioned, and
If he could grant a pardon in any case,
he could Teprieve in any case, as the
right to reprieve in the case OF the
greater sentence carried with 1t the
right to reprieve in the lesser by i'm
plication.
1t is singular fact that case ex-
actly like this has never been passed
upon by the courts of any State, nor.
Is there a case exactly like it in the
history of English jurisprudence.

Wheeling Steel & Iron stock is stead
lily advancing each day. The stock was
down to par two months or six weeks
ago, there being no apparent reason for
the decline, as all well informed people
knew that the stock was worth more
then than during any other period for
some years past. The stock is now
quoted at 108 to ITO. The stockholders
have reason to congratulate themselves
and the management upon the results
of the past year. The recapitulation of
the business for the year in January is
awaited with much interest.
