before, and the sermon by Mr..
Scheduled was listened to with pro-
found interest. The text, Before
honor, is humanity was discussed
in mastery way. He said that
pride was the most dangerous, in
sidious and prevalent of all sins. 1t
destroys more souls than intemper-
ance, or the love of money.
The different phases of pride dis
cused were, vanity, or the love Of
display in dress etc; pride OF intel

will, ancestry.
Humility, the sweetest flower Of
the christian graces fiourishes only

"SCOTT WILL BE SEATED"
That's the Word from Elkins at
Washington.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, March f.
The Republican leaders are resting
perfectly easy now about Senator
elect Scott. They have received word
from Senator Elkins that Scott will
be seated. 1t was developed that
Senator Elkins has 'scounted noses"
among the Senators, and he has been
assured that & majority will vote for
the seating Of the newly elected Sena-
tor from West Virginia. There is
already growing sentiment among
the Republicans that some one else
should be made the successor OF SEN
ator Elkins in 1900 Judge Golf is
the favorite, and George G. Sturgiss,
Thomas E. Davis and John w. Davis
are mentioned.

ELECTRIC Light PLANT.

Dellsl0w Gets Reckless And Plant is
Put in There-Used in Scale Board
Mill.
An electric light plant has been put
in at Dellslow and this place will soon
begin to put on city airs. The plant
is intended primarily to furnish light
for the plant owned by Sample and
TORY and operated in the manufac-
ture of scale boards. The other forms
of illumination would not work very
satisfactory in the mill and the pro-
prietors were forced to put in an cleo
trio light plant.
The plant was set UP by Guy Wiley.
1t will be used by the scale mill to-
gether with other places that may
want to take advantage of the oppor-
tunity.

Others Yesterday.

Messrs. Hersh, Mackey and Yates
Republicans deserted his ranks and
voted for other Republican candidates.

went into the republican caucus early
in January and voted against Senator
Quay, but have since aDided by the
decision of that meeting and voted
for Senator Quay. Mackey is from

ing for Senator began he was counted

GRANT GETS FIFTEEN YEARS.
The Parkersburg Brute Given
the Limit by Judge Jackson.

Hanging over Him, on which he will
be tiled Later and which may make
the Punishment even more severe
than that already Imposed.
Much surprise was occasioned at Grim
inal Court this morning when the
State, on account of the sudden illness
of Prosecusor j. X. Laird and the alb
sence of important witnesses, asked
for continuance CT the case of Wade
Grant, which was to have been heard
to-day on the indictment charging
him with raping Mrs. A. j. Barry,
the invalid wife of Macksburg, o.,
oil man in this city last October.
Judge Jackson recognized the exist
ing state of affairs and complimented
the prosecutor and his assistant, Mr..
Showalter, very highly, and although
Grants attorneys made strong plea
for an immediate trial, thu case was
continued.
The court at once ordered the negro
to stand up, and in manner which
met the hearty approval of every one
presents except the negro, who took
on that defiant surly look which has
characterized him ever since his arrest,
gave him the full extent OF the law
under the verdict, and sentenced him
to fifteen years in the State peniten-
tiary at Moundsville.
When Criminal Count convenes at
the next term the negro will be
brought here and tried on the remain
ing charges.

OUR RESOURCES.
Continued from First Page.

never been definitely located except
10y actual test.
Gas is not the least of our natural
resources. The state of West Virginia
produces greater volume of natural
gas than any other state. Fully $780,
900, 900 cubic feet is small part of
the daily flow of gas from the West
Virginia wells.
A large portion Of the natural gas
consumed in Pittsburg comes from
West Virginia wells. There is little
possibility OF the gas supply exceeding
the present production since it is not
considered to be inexhaustible. Ours
will be the fate of other states in this
respect and a few decades doubt less
will show the "gas period" to have
seen its best days at the closing OF
the nineteenth century. AT least this
lis believed by our best informed geol-
ogists.
At present there are only few
towns and cities west Of the central
part Of the state which do not utilize
gas as a source Of heat, both for man.
ufacturing and domestic purposes.
This state is the first to have utilized
gas for manufacturing purposes.
Burning Springs on the Great Kanaw-
ha river so long viewed as curiosity,
was no more than the natural escape
of gas from the strata of the earth.
This burning spring" was first dis
covered by President Washington and
a warrant was placed upon it by him
in 1854 and he owned the property for
nearly fifty years.
Natural gas was irst used under the
evaporating watts Of salt furnaces on
the Great Kangwha river in Kanawha
county. The large volume of gas
which goes to waste in this state in
sections suitable for manufacturing
purposes should be strong incentive
for capitalists to come to the "Moun-
tain State" where an abundance Of gas
may be had at cost much less than
the expense of solid fuel in the form
of coal or wood, or indeed any other
sort of fuel.
/ have said nothing in this article
IN regard to timber. All l now wish
to say is that we have over so, 900, 600
acres of virgin forests, covering all
classes Of hard and soft wood. No
state in my Judgment, can offer oppor-
tunities to lumbermen equal to the
State of West Virginia. And while
we do not profess to be a great farm
ing country, yet our soil is rich, the
climate is good and farming is profit
markets of the east and north is SO
satisfactory that farmers and stock
holders can make no mistake by inves-
tigating the advantages which West
Virginia offers 60 these industries.
