fIr. Rouss Grows Weaker.

Mr.. t. n. Bantz, who has just returned
from New York City, was the guest of
Mr.. Charles 3 Roussat his home on Fifth
avenue in that city. Mr.. Bantz says he
found Mr.. Rouss in good health, but that
ne suffers from weakness in his legs,
which makes it difficult for him te walk.
This, together with hisbiindness, makes
it necessary for Mr.. Rouss to be support
ed wherever he goes. Despite his Attic
tons, Mr.. Rouss is always cheerful, and
meyer complains of his condition.
His ailments do not affect in the least
his keen interest in his business affairs,
aud he is as punctual at his office, and as
untiring in hislabors as he was when he
was laying the foundation for the fortune
which his industry has brought forth.
Mr.. Rouss evirced a lively interest in
the approaching County Fair, and prom
ised to be here on the day named in his
honor, which is Thursday, Sept. 90.

Most Efficient Service. ;,

The report that the Ohio River Rail-
road refused to allow Mr.. Bryan's car to
be attached to one of its trains from Par
kersburg was discredited by the Balti-
more and Ohio officials yesterday. The
arrangement with the Baltimore and
Ohio was to take the Bryan party to Par
kersburg. National Committeeman John
T. Nc Graw. in telegram to Superin-
tendent OF transportation D. F. Maroney,
complimenting the handling of the train
which was sent from Parkersburg about
$50 pm. Thursday afternoon. also said
that the car 700 would be released
This indicated that the party had nc
further use tor it. General Manager

road, who, the report said, was response.
BILE for the alleged order refusing to take
Mr.. Bryan's party on private car over
that road, is said to be close business
and personal friend of Mr.. Nc Graw, the
manager of the campaign trip, and this
is taken as another reason Tor doubling
the truth of the report. Instead of being
offended National Committeeman Nc
Graw, of West Virginia, expresses him
self as much pleased with the manner in
which the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
handled the special train carrying Hon.
William ]. Bryan and party on their
campaigning tour. Mr. Nc Graw. in the
telegram to Mr.. Maroney. said: I'VE
want to thank you for most efficient
service. All concur in this and ask me
to say so. Baltimore Sun.

Hon. A. B. White, Republican candi-
date for governor, spoke in the court
house here last Saturday afternoon. The
audience was not very large. perhaps
partly owing to somewhat unfavorable
weather, and if it had not been for a
number of Democrats present would have
been considerably less, Judge Brannon
occupied a prominent seat in the amen
corner, butt st uck u; that it would
have been more in Tlace. from Republi-
can standpoint. for him to have been at
the " mourner's bench, seeking pardon
for his part in keeping Gen. Golf out of
the gubernatorial chair a few years ago.
We rave known Brother White for a
long while. Heused to be a pretty clever
newspaper man, but since he has degen-
Grated into an ordinary Republican can
didatc for Governor of West Virginia, we
fear there is no Lope for his redemption.
