nounced the death of Mrs. j. G. Troy,
of that place. She died yesterday morn

Louisburg. Mrs. Troy was the wife of
Rev. J. G. Troy, and sister-in-law of

RAILWAY EXTENSION.

A movement is being promoted by
owners of the coal properties lying
southwestwardly from Cherry Run, w
Va, to induce the building of a railroad
that would connect with the Western
Maryland railroad at Cherry Run.
The territory that is anxious for the
new road includes parts of Berkeley
county, West Virginia, Frederick coun-
~, Virginia, and Hampshire and Hardy
counties of West Virginia. An inves-
tigation was made by engineers of the
Western Maryland railroad over part
Of the route with the view of noting
what the territory offered in the way
OF tonnage. This was done several
months ago, but no further steps have
been taken.
The people of the territory concerned
desire a new line that would extend
from the Allegheny Mountains through
the Moorefield district of Hardy coun-
ty to Cherry Run. 1t is felt that the
building of such a railroad would per-
nit the development of coal and iron
interests of some magnitude. 1t would
be necessary to organize a company
and enlist considerable capital to carry
out an undertaking of this kind, and it
is said that if this can be done the ter
ritory to be benefited would cooperate
in the way of free rights of way and
other aid to the enterprise.

The condition of some of the trans
ports returning from the Philippines
crowded with volunteer soldiers, remind
one of the horrors that disgraced the
administration management of the
volunteer army in the Cuban campaign,
when about ten times as many gallant
troops died of neglect and maltreat-
nent in peace camps on our own soil
and on filthy and overcrowded trans
ports than were killed in battle by the
Spaniards
The troops that have gone through
the Philippines campaign are not the
men to complain at trifies. In fact they
are so delighted with the opportunity
of returning home that it must take
extremely foul quarters, great 0 er-
crowding, bad and insufficient food and
much i'll usage to draw from them a
sign Of complaint. Therefore when
these veterans, who did not complain
of the terrible hardships of the cam
paign in the Philippines climate pro-
test loudly against their treatment on
the hOmeward bound transports as did
those who touched at Hong Kong on
the Tartar on their homeward voyage,
there must be excellent reason for it..
The war department excused its gross
negligence and general incompetence
in the recent war with the Spanish
on the ground of unpreparedness and
the people had it dinned into them by
administration organs that nothing else
could have been expected in the sud
den emergency the declaration of war
created.
But this excuse will not go in the
case of the administration long drawn
out war in the East.
Not only has the war department
had all the time it needed for the proper
care of the troops but it has had the ad-
vantage of its experience in the Span
ish war.
There is no ground on which this
notifying condition can be accounted
for other than gross incompetence due
to too much second term politics at
Washington.

What goes up must come down"
is as true of trade as of the law Of
gravitation.
Bearing this general proposition in
mind it may not be Improbable &c
look trade history in the face, in view
of the present unprecedented rise in
iron
1t may be mere coincidence, but it
is none the less a curious fact that
all of our great periodical panicS have
been preceded by extraordinary ad-
vances in the price of pig iron.
The great commercial revulsion of
1857 was preceded by an extraordinary
rise in pig iron. which in 1854 rose
from $19 to $50 a ton. The panic NJ
1866 was preceded by a still greater
rise in this product, which in 1864
jumped from SIS to S75 ton. lii 1872
pig iron rose from $S5 to $50 a ton,
which was closely followed by the dis
astrous panic of 1878. Likewise in
1880 this product rose from $40 to SIS
a ton, and within two years the panic
Of 1882 followed. The commercial
revulsion Of 1898 also was precedN by

COL. HURST FOR AUDITOR.

Spirit of Jefferson.
We do not know that Col. Hurst has
any purpose to contest with Mr.. Will
liam Campbell, who was elected last
fall but not seated by the Senate. Col.
Hurst, as we understand it, is an as
pirant for the State Auditorship-a po-
sition he is well suited to fill with
credit to the State. Should he be
placed upon the State ticket he would
poll a big vote.-Free Press.
Col. Hurst, as we understand it, has
no purpose of contesting in particular
with any one. The position of State
Senator is open for nomination and
election, the same as it was when Mr..
Shaffer was nominated and elected but
not seated; and the friends of Col.
Hurst, not a small number by any
means, think he is the man for the
place, and will give him a hearty sup
port, without any particular antagon-
ism toward any one Should he be
called higher and placed upon the State
ticket, he would not only poll a big
VOTE but if elected would make a
first class Auditor as we'll.

The New York World in a careful
and elaborate review of the Carter case
goes into that shady business, one of
the foulest blots on this administration
of scandals, to an extent that leaves
nothing obscure. 1t shows what the
facts were which first aroused the sus-
picion of Carriers successor; prompted
an expert court of inquiry to recon-
mend his trial for the crimes it had
discovered, and gave in detail the tes-
timony upon which a court-martial
composed of eminently reputable army
officers found him guilty on the charge
Of
Entering into a conspiracy in 1896 with
the contractors doing Government work
in his district to rob the United States by
securing the payment TO such contractors
of two false and fraudulent checks in July,
1S97-one for $3.50 1880 and the other for
$345O00.
The statute of limitations barred
other charges of malfeasance of like
kind, in regard to frauds running over
many years and involving millions of
the peoples money. But Of the above
quoted charge the court-martial found
Carter guilty-the proof being positive
and northumberland sentenced him
to dismissal and imprisonment in the
penitentiary, etc. That was 491 days
ago, to be exact.
Yet Captain Carter still wears the
uniform of the United States, draws his
pay as an officer of the army in good
standing and is free man-for which
he owes thanks to President Mckinley.

A correspondent of the New York
Sun has an interesting letter on the
stogie and he tells many truths con-
corning that homely but cheap and
excellent smoke. He says;
"A good stogie is just as good a smoke
as a good cigar. 1t is made of precisely
the same kind of tobacco. It's cheapness is
due to the fact that 1t is smaller than
cigar and is made with less regard for APP
pearance A very large percentage of the
cost of a cigar lies in the amount of work
it takes to make it look pretty and its
costly label and box Not so with the sto-
gle it is more quickly and cheaply made
than cigar, therefore it's rough appear
ance and cheapness. If people inquire
little way into the subject of stcgies, they
will find-generally to their surprise-that
to-day there are as many kinds of stogies
as there are cigars. Stogies are made of
all kinds of tobacco, from Pennsylvania or
Kentucky leaf to the best clear Havana,
They are made in all the grades that cigars
are made Their assortment and boxing
receive the same attention and care that
cigars receive in the best cigar factories"
All of which is gospel truth. But
the Sun correspondent gets clear off
the track when he adds:
To-day Pittsburg stogies are just as
popular among millionaireS as among Ia
boring men. When man finds out-and
they are legion who haVe-how good a
smoke a Pittsburg stoge is, he buys it be-
cause it suits him better than anything
else, not because ii IS cheap. And you WI
the weak stomachs who smoke Pittsburg
stogies A Wheeling stogie is always
strong, but Pittsburg never. Don't get
the two mixed.
Certainly the two should not be
mixed-the Wheeling product is so in
finitely superior.
day other than the Wheeling stogie
that is not a base imitation of that
famous article. Wheeling stogies are
strong-if you want them that way
because they are pure and unadulter-
ated, but they are made to suit all
tastes and are composed of different
kinds of tobacco, from the purest
Havana down.
The Wheeling stogie is the original
and the only reliably pure article. 1t
has never been successfully initiated.
In fact there is no other 'stogie."
The real name of the Pittsburg ar
ticle is not "stogie" but "tobie." And
there is a vast difference between it
and the real thing, of which all lovers
of the genuine smoke are we'll aware.
The ways of the Ohio politician are
dark and he is a past master in the
art of trickery. This was exemplified
at the Martins Ferry gathering.

considerable one-sidedness in the

Clairsville, got considerably the worst
of it. The hand of the administration
was quite factor in the result as,
