now JOHN BRANNON
Saved Railroad Charter From apps
ing for Seven YeBrs.

CLARKsBUIG, w. Va, August 80.
The passing OF the property and
franchises OF the West Virginia and
Pennsylvania Railroad into the hands
OF the Baltimore and Ohio, which has
just been announced by Ex-senator
Camden, recalls the story OF the man
who worked for seven years construct
inc roadbed for this line and never
got mile OF it completed. Every
day in all the seven years old John
Brannon, with his pick and shovel,
could be seen in Fairmont, digging
away at the roadbed. Sometimes, af-
ter he had dug up lot OF earth, he
would bring his horse and cart into
service and haul dirt for day or two,
but more often he would use a wheel
barrow to carry away the dirt. The
route Of the railroad lay along hill
side in the town Of Fairmont, and as
fast as he would get nice bench
graded down and leyeled of, storm
OF rain would come up and wash a
lot Of dirt down upon his roadbed,
and he would have to start over again.
And so he worked for seven years,
and in all that time less than a mile
Of road had been graded. Brannon
was everything on the road--chief en-
gineer, section boss, day laborer, mule
driver, and everything else about the
road except the president and attor-
ney. Richard Lowndes, of Clarksburg,
was president and principal ON or of
the road, and it was one of the re-
quirements in the charter of the road
that work on the road should be begun
within certain time after the char
ter was issued, and that whenever
work should cease on the road, the
charter should be forfeited. Old
John and his wheelbarrow kept the
charter alive by their daily work upon
the road, and got to be one of the IA
nous things of Fairmont. He worked
faithfully, but his work was not hard,
and his hours were not long, for there
was no boss over him, and no one car
ed how much or how little he accom-
plished SO long as he never missed
day. The sale OF the road to the b.
& o. shuts out the Pennsylvania road
from central West Virginia unless it
comes ~ by some other route.

VIRGINIA DEBT BOND
Blacklisted in London by For
eign Bondholders.
Notorious Virginia Certificates Bob up
again-This Time TO Come TO Grief
News of Their Blacklist ing Received
by Cable From London.

by Cable From London.
A cable from London yesterday con-
veyed TO financiers in this country the
news that London corporation of
foreign bandholders has blacklisted
$15, 900, 900 of West Virginia bonds.
These so-called bonds are, no doubt
the notolio Virginia certificates
which Eastern syndieates have been
endeavoring for years, through paid
agents in West Virginia, TO foist upon
this State. As is we'll known by
those in touch with West Virginia
affairs, West Virginia Is not eneum-
bered by cent OF Indebtedness, nor
has she outstanding a single bond is
sued by herself. The Virginia certif-
icates as is equally well known, were
issued by the State of Virginia with
the intent OF forcing West Virginia
to assume the liability, but West Vir-
ginia has thus far refused TO be bull
dozed into any such assumption.
The news from London referred TO
above will probably have the effect OF
trumping up again that time worn So
call Virginia debt question. Brief
ly toll, the history OF this question Is
about like this:
When West Virginia was formed
into separate State during the war,
Virginia was carrying a debt u Sio,
600, 900. Most Of the Liability was
incurred upon pablic Improvements.
West Virginia was asked to assume a
third Of the obligation on the ground
that as the new State had constituted
a third Of the old Commonwealth it
ought TO bear us share OF the debt.
This was eonf led with the fact
that very small preq5 On Of the
improvements upon which the liabil
ity was incurred had affected this sec
tion Of the old State West Virginia
however, offered to pay an equitable
share of the debt, and proposed the
appointment O commission to as
certain what that share should be.
Virginia refused to treat on this basis
and the matter has been hanging fire
ever since. Virginia issuing in the
meantime the $4,000, 900 OF certii-
CAGES which has just been black listed
ia London. Repeated efforts have
been made TO intrnde the matter up
on the Legislature, but they have
been Without effect.

BLACKsvILLE DRUG STORE
Causes Trouble in That Burg The
Council aud the Women Have IL
Closed

BLAcKsvILLE, Aug. 2S-J. p.
Brock of Fairmont bought the Drug
Store of this place OF H. NJ. Urey last
March. Urey transferred his license
to Brock which of course expired on
the thirtieth day OF April; about that
time Mr.. Brock applied for town IL
cense for Drug Store and when call
ed before the council the majority
was against granting Mr.. Brock IL
eense and by the town not issuing
him license the County Court refused
him the same.
The Drug store did not close but
carried on business iast the same and
in the opinion of the writer more
extensive in some lines.
All this time there seemed TO be a
supply of whiskey III town where the
incorporate would get supplied: but
The whereabouts was hard to find by
the authorities.
Some of the authorities commenced
TO find the source backed by the wom-
en-. After one of the ladies consult
ing with the mayor twice She had Il
warrant issued for J. z. Brock and the
arrest was made and bond was Sc
cured for his appearance on the 14th
TO answer charges against hini.
There were eight witnesses SUM
moned to appear against Mr.. Brock.
Before the hour for trial all the wit
nesses went away and could not be
found which caused the suit to be con-
tinued aud at that minute Mr.. Brock
crossed into Pennsylvania and has not
been on this side but once since. By
order Of the council the mayor was
authorized to consult an attorney.
On the return of the witnesses that
evening the sergeant served rule on
them and each one was fined who did
not show a good cause Tor not appear
ing. So the case stands with all at
tention turned Go the bond. But the
Drug store is closed and the DEVILS

That is the Opinion of an Expert Who
is Examining Conditions at Char
IprOi

1GEOt.
CHARLERoI, Aug. 29.-The mad
dog which terrorized the whole
Monongahela valley several days
last week was finally killed at
Brownsville. The carcass was
brought here and will be examined.
DR. A. G. Hoen, of Pasteur institute,
New York arrived to day in response
to a request. He will endeauor to
get various boroughs in which per-
sons were bitten to arrange for the
establishment of a temporary insti-
tute here for the treatment of the
many victims. DR.. Hoen predicts
an epidemic of hydrophobia. He
said: Il have not yet made an an
alysis OF the dogs brain, but from
descriptions Of the dogs actions,
| am satisfied it was victim of hy-
drophobia of the worst form. The
persons bitten do not recognize the
gravity of the situation Preventa-
tive is the only cure as once deyel-
oped it is sure death. After the
virus of street rabies has entered
the system it seldom develops un-
der 80 days. Several dogs were bit
ten which were not shot and an ep-
idemic may be started which will
extend through the State. The au-
thorities should take Immediate ac-
ton.
DIR Hoen's announcement created
CONSERVATION. The law provides
for muzzling of dogs, but lie police
nave ignored tue provision. Ac-
cording to the statement of the pc.
lice several dogs supposed to have
hydrophobia were shot early in the
Summer, but nothing has since been
done. Acting Chief of Police Hep.
Ter says the ordinance has not been
enforced because the pre- 1T police
force is inadequate for the work and
a special officer will be necessary.

guise Of giving some pointe S 10 s
party advises the gamblers to be
careful about betting on M cKinlev.
Below is an editorial from yes.er-
day S issue:
The betting on the election is
bad factor in politics just now. On
July Ii it was A to / on Mckinley
Since then these odds have declined
gradually; but day before yesterday
they were at the enormous dis Gropor-
ton of q to l. Such owe wcening
confidence of success on one side is
not justified. 1t is foo'ishness, and
it tends to increase the chances of
success for what is called the .sshoTt
end, for the reason that it spreads
the already too pervading sense of
surety which to-day Threatens to
pa slyze the Republican vote
The Democratic party is at the
tremendous disadvantage of asking
the country to dedicate itselr to rep
udiation, and to submit TO rebellion
against is aothority-the plea
which was iaet.e ON the same
source in the tine of the Civil Wer.
But there is in the Democracy a
worship of the parry name that
doesn't conoein itself with the actual
issues of politics; and further than
that, there is in Organism the gen
ius of rebellion against the existing
peace o. society, passion which
four years ago, when the splendid
anti-repudiation uprising carried
thousands of Democrats into the
Republican camp, swelled the Dem
ocratic vote to greater size than
had ever been cast before What
that vote may become next fall no
one knows, notwithstanding some
people are betting p to | that it
will fail to elect it's candidate.
The rational odds on Mckinley
are no more than 5 to 4, or less, say
10 to 8, and even these should be
the other way unless there soon runs
throughout the Republican party
