CHARLESTON, w. VA, March II.
The Gordon lands, embracing
100000 acres and lying on the
ridges between Cabin creek, Coal
river and Paint creek, in Kanawha,
Fayette and Raleigh counties, have
been sold to @. a. Yoegle and
Charles Ackermann, as trustees for
a syndicate of Mansfield, o., parties
The price paid is $4,000. The
lands were the property of Basil b.
Gordon and Douglas 81. Gordon,
of Baltimore. They are underlaid
with coal and covered with virgin
forest, both of which resources will
be developed on an extensive scale.
The opening of the coal will create
new and distinctive coal field.
The Paint Creek railroad, which
is now under construction, runs up
the boundary line of the Gordon
tract. Later, it will probably trav-
erse it, distance of fourteen miles.

MISUNDERSTANDING.

New York Daily News.
Mr.. Mckinley has interviewed at
last, not in the Anglo-Boer war
embrogIio, but in the Carnegie
Friok mutual condemnation war;
not in the interest of humanity,
but in behalf of the second term
syndicate.
Ever since Mr.. Friok turned
States evidence, and began to tell
Just what the Carnegie crowd had
been able to do under protective
tariff system, the syndicate has
been uneasy. Like most acces-
sories either before or after the
fact, it is mainly concerned for it's
own safety.
There is good reason to believe
that the iron-mongers have agreed
to truce until after the Presiden-
tial election. They have been per-
suaded to do this by Mark Hanna,
who knows that Frick's crimina-

will make very interesting cam
paign literature,
There is some consolation in
kne wing that meditation came late,
and that the public is already in
possession of facts sufficient to
damn both the litigants as we'll as

came opulent.
From the standpoint of Senator
Chandler, this new monetary law
is an attempt of the President and
those behind the measure to sell
out not only the Republican party,
but the whole American people, to
tie money changers of the country.
Nor is this an erroneous Wow. The
issues such as are presented in this
law we're not discussed before the
people, but on the contrary, care
fully kept in tho background; while
all the time, by private agreement,
Congress was mortgaged on Wall
Street. How this law entirely
changes conditions, and as expos
ing the dangers involved in the
revolutionizing of our system, the
Senator says: eff this new prin-
oipal is to prevail, the real money
will be four billions of gold, and
the credit money, including the sill
yer money, will be ten billions.
And upon the gold and credit
money are to be builta all the checks
and other credits in trade through
out the world. How broad the
summit and how narrow the base!
We want the real money of the
world to be eight billions of dollars
in coin; what they want is to be only
four billions Of gold, Youngs-

We are not trying to array one

by the fire must not forget the hand
that brings the coal from the mine.
The person who eats at the table
must not forget the man whose toll
loads the table with bounties. The
person who can clothe himself with
the best that the looms produce,
must not forget those whose muscles

shedding it's fragrance upon the air

Secretary Boehler said that 8 10

A Novel Experiment.

The latest novelty in rural free
delivery of mail is to be tried in
Washington county, between the
towns of Washington and West
Brownsville. 1t is in the form of
two travelling postof1ices, which start
from the termini named and meet at
point between. These travelling post
offices are especially fitted wagons,
containing cases for the distribution
of mail and equipped with gongs to
notify residents along the route of
their coming. They are manned by
a postal clerk and driver.
Undoubtedly these contrivances
will be great convenience to the
people along the route. In the sense
that time is money they should be
regarded as effecting great saving
to the farmers served, But it re
mains to be seen whether they are
really profitable. The farmer and
his family spend certain amount
Of time going TO town to do their
shopping, and the village postof1ice
is usually on their Way
The time consumed in picking up
the mail is very slight. On the con-
trary, the number of men, wagons and
teams required to operate travelling
postoffices on every rural highway will
cost a pretty penny in cash besides
their subtraction from the ranks in
other employment. Rural free deliv-
cry is good thing, but it has not yet
been determined whether all of its
forms are worth their cost

FINE SPEECHES.
Col. Arnett Makes a Brilliant
Effort Here.

Large Audience Aroused to Great En-
ASSASSINATION. A. b. Amber Scores
a Big Hit at 0pekiska-Marked Con-
trast Between his Meeting aud one
addressed by Kendall.
Col w. w. Arnett of Wheeling
spoke to all the people who could
crown in the Municipal Hall last
night. He would have been heard
by several hundred more people if a
larger hall had been available The
Opera House was in use and could
not be secured The meeting was
advertised for only a few hours but
when the Colonel was introduced the
hall was trimming over with hear
ers.
They were impatient for the speak
er to begin and did not want to al
low him to stop He tore to pieces
the policy of the present admins
tration and with his keen logic, ir-
resistable satire and unanswerable
arguments he completely knocked
out all opposition to his side of the
case. The audience gave him close
attention and cheered him to the
echo.
By all who heard it it is declared
to have been the best Democratic
speech ever delivered in the town.
The subject OF trusts came in for
hard treatment. Col. Arnett was at
his best and he aroused his audience
to tremendous enthusiasm.
Hon. B. NJ Amber went to Ope-
kiska last night to address the vo
tiers up there. Some weeks ago
Hon. A. M. Kendall had nineteen
people gathered to hear him. Mr.
Amber had more than hundred.
The school house was filled and
many could not get in.
He spoke for two and half hours
and several times the audience refused
to allow him to stop when he desired
to do SO. They cheered him tumu-
laously and the cause was done much
good by the meeting. He goes to
Dellslow tonight and to Wadestown
tomorrow along with Hon. Jos. More
land and Hon. S. Y. Woods. A mon
ster rally will be held in the capital of

MANY LIVES In JEOPARDY.
Runaway Engine and Cars Collide with
Il w 0rk Train.

UNIoNTowN, Oct. PA wholesale
slaughter of railroad men was narrow
ly averted here this morning. A
train of II loaded cars and an engine
ran away on the Masontown division
of the Southwest branch of the Penn
sylvania railroad and dashed down a
steep grade, at the foot of which a
gravel train with about 100 men was
lying.
The runaway could not be seen un-
til it was almost on the other train,
owing TO the curve, and there was
barely time for the men to jump aud
save their lives. The engines and
several cars were wrecked.
