A RACE WITH THE MAIL.
How a Quarantine Officer was Thwart
ed byaMaiI Carrier.

Randolph county frightened her
quarantine against Upshur and the
Randolph end of the bridge across the
Middlefork river is blockaded with
poles. One day this week Mrs. Calvin
Lamb came tothe bridge but couldn't
pass the blockade. VIM. McNeal, who
lives on the URhur side, went over to
take the poles down and permit Mrs.
Lamb to cross. Fl. f. Howell, a guard
at the bridge, had orders to arrest all
persons who crossed into Randolph.
He was in anod house near the bridge
and at once arrested Mrs. Lamb and
McNeal. They were taken to Womels-
bort, but McNeal was released as he
had had smallpox in Ireland. Mrs.
Lamb was held to await the action of
the grand jury but released on bond.
The same Hay Howell, the guard, at
tempted to arrest the mail carrier,
who had been boarding in Upshur.
The mail :arrlcr crossed that morning
and Howell saw him. Both were on
horses and Howell gave chase. The
carrier was without the mail sacks
but he made quick time for the post
Office, reaching there before the guard
secured the mail, and when the guard
came up he had changed his mind and
the carrier waspermitted to gothrough
with the mall -Buckhannon Delta.

Nominations by the Bar Associa-
lion or Committees Thereof.

Mr.. Editor;-Is there any good rea-
son why few lawyers should nomi-
nate members OF the Supreme Court !?
BY what authority is this right of the
people delegated TO anassoclation that
does not include majority OF the
lawyers OF the State. 1t is time for
the people to register heavy protest
against any committee or combination
OF committees that will thus usurp an
authority never delegated tothem. 1t
is these encroachments on the rights
of the people by '.top heavy theories
that ultimately fall and crush out the
peoples rights.
Why not delegate the nomination OF
State Superintendent to the State
Teachers Association ? Why not
nominate the Circuit judges by the
Bar Association of the circuit?
Why notabollsh justices OF the peace
and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Judge
and require every person whosues be-
fore him topay a docket fee OF Five
Dollars to some attorney as has been
advocated bysome of the same Bar
Association? Nomination by COM
miitee, as anadyocate of it inthe West
Virginia Barsuggests, would get rid of,
'.the disturbing and dangerous whirl-
pool of a partisan Conventions seeth-
ing dog day undeliberated hody-is
one of the deplorable results of the
mad capers of an overflow OF the
American system"
Why have any elections at all P
Just let this same Bar Association the
elite of the lawyers State, lust appoint
the whole thing from Governor up.
But SO longas we have the American
system, the American people will de-
mand their rights to nominate their
own candidates and TO elect whom a
majority shall choose. and any com
mittee or setof committees that at
tempt to interfere with this American
privilege, in an American system will
soon find themselves ON the retired
list.

WHERE TWO WOMEN LIVED.
Place Had No Attractions for Other
 Members of Sex.

Members of Sex.
 Capt. Mckinzie of Philadelphia has encountered in his maritime wander ings place where only two women have ever lived. Lying at pier No. 13, Port Richmond, Philadelphia, dis charging her cargo of 150 tons of chrome ore, is the trim little Halifax schooner Satellite, commanded by Capt. Mckenzie, man who has ex- perienced smany thrilling adventures while navigating the Newfoundland coast, whence this vessel came with her cargo. The Satellite came from a settlement in Newfoundland known as Bluff Head, situated thirty miles east southeast from Port au Port, and a place where but two women ever were known to live. Capt. Mckenzie says that the chrome ore mines were dis covered only three years ago. They are now worked by British and Ameri- can capitalists. The ore on board the Satellite is valued in it's crude state in excess of $50 ton, and is the richest grade which ever has been brought into Philadelphia, owing to the limit ed facilities for vessels reaching the place, the largest cargo that has ever been shipped is 300 tons and at that tune the vessel was seven weeks load ing. The mines from which this ore is taken are situated on the tops of cliffs rising 500 feet above the level of the sea, and Capt. Mckenzie had to work his vessel in and anchor her under these cliffs on a shoa1 area con- taining six fathoms of water. The method of loading is primitive, the ore being conveyed down the mountain side in small wagons. drawn by power ful horses. From the shore it is brought out in boats. Capt. McKen- zie's last visit to Philadelphia was twenty-three years ago. At that time,'s' said the old skipper yesterday. you would not see two steamers from the time you entered the Delaware capes till you passed to sea again. Now sailing vessels in this trade have become almost extinct"
