WITH DIAMOND DRILL.
The Strata up Deckers Greek
ar Being Tested.

Senator 5. b. ElkinS is Having His
Coal Land Investigated Will
be Sent to the BOttOm-W Work is Now
Under Way False Reports
About Courtney and McDermott's
Intention.
The Diamond Drill Company of
Pennsylvania are here and they are
at work on the George Gamble farm
south Of town on the NJ and K rail-
road. They are going to make
thorough tests of the coal territory
that lies in that direction and is
owned by Senator S. B. Elkins and
others. The work began on Tues
day morning.
Two car loads of machinery have
been forwarded here from Bayard
where the. same company has been
operating for some time and it was
taken up the NJ and K and the work
of cutting out core of the coal was
started At the same time every
thing else in the way of the drill
will be examined so that it can be
told exactly what is above and below
the vein from the surface as far
down as it may be thought desira-
BILE to go.
1t is thought that this drilling
means that there is to be some de
velopment in the way of coke ovens
and coal mines but of course the
men who are doing it have no idea
of what is to be done by the parties
who own the territory.
It was stated in this connection
in the Register that Courtney and
McDermott had determined to drill
a well on the Boyers farm three
miles north of town and that this
well was on line that was on the
flfty-f1ye degree angle from the big
Copley well in Lewis county. The
members of the firm were seen by a
representative of this paper ard asked
about it.
They said that they had not decid-
ed where they would drill. That they
had not determined upon the Boyers'
farm or any other one. They did not
know just when they would drill and
that they would do nothing until they
got the rest of the territory that they
wanted, In case they did not get it
they would do nothing further for the
present

ATLANTA, Ga, December 19.-The
Atlanta Journal this afternoon pub.
fishes an interview with former Presi-
dent Cleveland. obtained by a stan
correspondent at Princeton, n. j..
Mr.. Cleveland is quoted as follows.
''1n my opinion, the great need of
the Democratic party is return To
first principles The Democratic par
ty has not been fatally disorganized,
but it sadly needs rehabilitation on
purely Democratic lines.
what is the matter with the
party? 1t has, in my humble judg
ment, simply wandered off after
strange gods. A large mass of Dem
ocratic voters saw this before the last
election. They remained quiet, but
when the time came to vote they said,
This is not Democracy, and refused
to support It.
''As | see 1t, it is the duty OF Dem
ocrats everywhere TO aid in the re-
Mobilization OF the party. There are
some signs of an insistence upon che
necessity of a return TO Democratic
doctrines in the South, but they are
not so general as ! would like TO see. y
nWhat of the future?" was asked.
"With sincere return to its old
time doctrines, Mr.. Cleveland replied
"the old-time victories OF the Demo
cratic party will certainly be won.

Mr.. White Won.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Dec. 19---In
the Federal court here the case Of the
United States against H. s. White
and Others was tried. This was an
action OF debt on the bond Of Mr..
White as marshal for the district OF
West Virginia, the claim being for
something over $500. The jury to
which the case was submitted found
a verdict for the defendant, and would
have rendered judgment for him to
an amount more than that claimed
by the government but for the fact
that they could not give Judgment
against the government. The way
it happened was that the jury found
Mr.. White was entitled to credits
that had been disallowed by the ac-
counting officers OF the Treasury De-
Dartment.

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN.
Joe Guggenheim Remembered by Nor
gantOwn PeOple-He is Now I'm Pitts

Joe Guggenheim has left town but
his memory remains. He was pro-
prietor of the Delicatessen cafe. 1t
is now owned by A. Carraco who had
lent Guggenheim money and took the
establishment to save himself. 1t is
claimed that there, are claims of
five hundred dollars in town against
Joseph who has gone hence and will
never return.
He walked to Jimtown and took
the trim at that point. Those who
Trusted him would like to see him and
they would even more like to see their
good hard money back.
Bad management is responsible for
the smash. The restaurant has made
money and it can do it again in the
right hands. Guggenheim had not a
very lucid idea of business and he
went up against it. His creditors are
sorry that he Jared so badly.

But Little Trouble-To be Completed
January 18th.

Mr.. Printz of the Charles Town
Bridge Company states that they have
been able TO remedy the defect in the
Cheat river bridge with very little
trouble OF delay. The abutment on
this side was extended for foot and
a half to catch the span and that is
all that will have TO be done. The
shortness came from the floor beams
having been cut too short for the Sec
tion on this end
He says that they will have the
bridge done by January 18th. Some
of the material that was to have been
used had been sidetracked at Fair
mont but he located IL on Tuesday
night and 1t is now here. The bridge

aud appointment of Officers Exist
Ing Federal Court Officers win Hold

The Dayton bill to divide the
State of West Virginia into two ju-
dicial districts has passed the House
under suspension of The rules.
The bill was amended 60 conform
to thew ishes OF the committee on
Judiciary but Its provisions are sub
stantially the same as those of the
original bill following the precedent
OF similar legislation in the case of
other States where the existing fed
eral officials have been retained in
the districts where they reside.
BY the terms Of the bill the pres
ent district Judge and clerk are as
signed to the northern district, and
the present marshal and district at
torney to the southern district The
new officers to be appointed will be
a Judge and a clerk for the southern
district and district attorney aud
marshal for the northern. The
boundaries Of the districts remain
as in the original bill.
The amended bill provides that
the regular terms Of the circuit and
district courts in the northern dis.
trict shall begin at Wheeling on the
first Tuesday of April, and the third
Tuesday Of September; at Clarks.
burg, on the third Tuesday of April
and first Tuesday of October; at
Martinsburg, on the third Tuesday
OF October, and the circuit court
shall be held at Parkersburg, begin
ming on the second Tuesday Of June

triet, at Charleston on the first

ut Huntington, on the first Tuesday
of April and third Tuesday of Sep
TENDER, at Blnfieeld, on the first
Tuesday of June and the first Tues
day of December. The bill goes in
to effect July first, 1901.
The committees report, referring
to judicial business in West Virgin
la, says: "'The criminal arrests
have run TO over 1900, a number
somewhat reduced, but it is asserted
largely nolle prossequi and discon-
tinuance. The civil docket includes
many complicated land title cases,
each requiring weeks for trial, for
which they are waiting, while titles
are meanwhile unsettled. The out
side capitalist now investing within
the State will naturally take his
case to the Federal courts and in
crease arrears. The fifty five coun
ties are separated By mountain
chains that make railroad communi
cations long and difficult. Courts
are now held bicnnially in five places
but the growth ofthc southern coun-
ties demanded additional places for
holding courts, which no one judge
for the whole State can give"

Trouble over the Range.

Several days since John kasch-

from his ranch in Logan county

was notified by the cattlemen
who occupy all the range in that
locality to remove his sheep. This
he refused to do, and Wednesday
he came to this place for the pur-
pose of filing an Injunction to
prevent the cattlemen from re-
moving his sheep. He conld Sc
cure no lawyer to prosecute his
case, so he wired District Attor-
ney Hayes of Sterling. MIR.
Hayes came down Wednesday
night, but he also refused to be-
gin proceedings against the cat
tlemen who had peaceably driven
kaschke's sheep out of their ter
ritory Wednesday morning. MIR.
Kaschke returned to his ranch
Thursday morning. AS his sheep
were driven back into Logan
county without loss to him, the
dispute will probably end where
