Suffrage Plan of ID. w. Bolen.

Judge D. w. So,en. the very aDle
member Of the convention rom Car
oil county, has prepared a suffrage
clanse.
Judge Bolen is quite apoet, and il was
he who several yeats ego filed brief in
a case in which ..e VAS counsel before
the Supreme Court The brief was print
ed in the Law Register and was. widely
commented upon by members Of the bar.
Judge Bolen wrote the suffrage plan
printed below. at his desk severaldays
. ago, and Que OF his colleagues secured
it and gave it out without the Judges
knowledge
The plan in full is as follows:
SUFFRAGE PLAN.
Every male child of dear Uncle Sam,
The rich, the poor, come into the plan !;
That he who has lived for twenty -one
yeats.
Iu this, our world of joys and tears,
Whose home for two full years has
been
In the good land of old Virgin,
The last one year of which must be
In the county or city whein he
FoS right of suffrage shall apply,
With our electors great and high
Who's be Il assessed of all his polls
And owes the State no dues or tolls,
Shall have the boon which he shall ask,
And ole free ballot he may cast:
Provided, however, he shall be
Free from all Grimes of infamy-
That is to saw, dark treason's tinge.
Has never caus"d his soul to cringe,
Nor felony has he commi ted,
Nor any thing which indebted
Him from voting, Such things as these
The giving or receiving fees
To bribe weak men from virtues vale,
In voting for the common veal
And perjury and larceny,
However small the subject be,
Shall ever bar the guilty man
From suffrage in our suffrage plan.
Another class without prelude,
In tru.h and fain we must exclude;
TIE IDIOT, no without mind,
Was castsupon the shores of time;
The lunatic, who once was sane,
Bnt now in mind is sick and lame.
The pauper, too, God save his soul,
Now stranded on life's bitter shonl:
These three in pity we pass by,
Comm ending them to God on high,
Who feeds the ravens when they cry
And guides the planets as they fly.
Another class may always vote.
Whether they pay the tolls or not;
These are the men who stood in wars
Aud barred their breasts TO battles scars
Who fought on land or fought on sea-,
Who followed Grant or followed Lee,
Or stood in, Stonewall's rushing van,
Or march c with Hooker's fighting
baud
Who followed Stuart's knightly pIume,
To sound of whizzing bullets tune;
Or with fierce Forrest of the West.
Has slain more men on battles field
Than any sword Ter man did WELD
Since lion-aearted Richard she athed
His bood-rea sword when last he
breathed:
But soldier, seaman or marine,
The right t. vote shall never gain
BY simply BENG .tAtioned here,
Although he stry thousand year.
As time shall fly on rapid wing,
Historians write and potts sing
OF lofty deeds our race has done
OF triumphs great by mortals won,
Let every good VIrginian know,
Upon the worthy to bestow
he right of suffrage, sacred trust:
But from the unworthy that they must
Wi hhold a power so dear to all
Who dwell upon this earthly ball

GNAwED BY RATS.

A short distance further the res
cuers were startled to see Superin-
tendant Walter O'Malley, of the
POcahOntas Collieries Company sit
ting upright propped against the
wall, as though still breathin & the
breath of life. The ends Of his
fingers had been gnawed away by
rats. The next sight that greeted
the eyes of the rescuer Was pathetic
one. Manager j. A. Cardwell of
the Shsmokin Company, and Coal
Inspector w. Morris St.UlaIr lay
breast to breast with their arms
tightly twined around each other.
Cardwell had had hemOrrage and
his body aud face were badly
swOolen. Some difficulty was ex.
pern=ed in unclasplng the embrace
OF the men.
The last victim was found some
distance further in the mine. He
was r.. Il. l.. St.Clair. of Blueiield.
BY his eide was an empty match
box and the charred Gods of the
matches it had contained were
scattered around his body. The
death OF these men is rendered al
the more pathetic by the fact thai
they had struggled through more
than three miles OF poisonous
vapors, only to succumb TO dreat
white damp when almost in sigh
of safety. 1t devel ped that they
blundered at the iast CT. tical mo.
ment. Had they turn d 10 th'
J lett instead Of the right FIVE un-
drsd fees fu,lher It would have
brought them 10 the pure air at ih'
Tug River entrance, as 1t wv,t e.

A NEW sCHENIK

1t was then seq 5ested that
something might be accomplished
from the Tug River entrance, eight
miles distant, overland, and more
than three mllesthrough the nine.
This.suggestion was adopted aud
the heorlO .reseuers had gone In
less than "a thousand feet when
they stumbled over the first body.
1t was that Of A. s. Hurs, chief
coal inspector for Caster, Curran
and BnllItt. In his hands were
tightly clasped scrap of paper
and a pencil, indicating that he
had been trying tn write last fond
message to his loved wife and
children.
The next body found was that
of Inspector William Oldham, and Il
short distance further in all that
was mortal of Frazier Bell, a min
ing engineer, was found. Probably
fifty feet further brought the res
cureTs to the corpse Of w. j. Preect
mine inspector for the Southern
District of West Virginia.

Pocahontas, Va, Nov 25.-The
story of the mLnner in which tn
bodies of the eight men entombed
i'm the West mine at Pocahoutas
since Friday was related TO your
correspondent to day by one of the
rescne party.
Repeated efforts put forth by
forty experienced miners led by II.
p. Rees, Chief of the Fire Depart
meno had been defeated by the
death-dealing fumes occasioned
by the fire in the Baby mine and
time and again the party attempt
ed to penetrate the lnnermost depths
Of the mine. by way of the main
entrance, only to be so affected by
the gasses that it was with Difficult
Uy they fought their way back to
the pure air.
Late Saturday night they had
forced their way $500 feet in the
bowels of the earth, W hen 1t became
apparent that further progress in
that direction could only result in
the death of the entire party. After
fighting their way back to safety a
consultation was held with the o Il
cials of the company, among them
Secretary and Treasurer Thorn,
aud President Campbell, who came
there from Philadelphia, and it Yves
not practicable to make any fur
ther attempt in this direction.
