The nine mile grade averages about

Wheeling. w. Va, Nov. Warden
9. f. Haddox, of .the West Vigirnia
Penitentiarv, has been served with a
notice of I'm application for writ of
mandamus directed TO issue from the
Kanawha county courts to compel
him TO set the date foe the execution
of George Carter, who, many months
ago, was sentenced to be hanged for
Charleston gambling house.
The situation revealed through
various legal technicalities is q most
peculiar one, and the declaration OF
Warden Haddox that he will carry
the mandamus application TO the Su-
preme Court means that a vexatious
point ia legal procedure in criminal
cases will be determined for all time
in West Virginia.
After Carter was convicted and
sentenced he was removed 10 the
State prison or execution, but before
the dav arrived for execution the
Supreme Court granted writ Of
error. A second trial RESULTS. in a
conviction and again Carter was sem
fenced. Then the governor respited

without further steps being taken by
the defense. the KDawha county
authorities ordered Warden Haddox
to execute Carter. He refuses, claim
| ing that he has not the authority.
He says it must take another formal
sentence in the Charleston court.
The Charleston court states that IT is
not issuing the mandamus merely to
clash with the warden, but to settle

Congressman A. G.. Dayton of the
second district, passed through this
city en- ruote to this home at Phillppi.
1t is whispered around. the Congress
man has the Presidents ear and stands
closer to the Administration than any

Prior to the Span ish- A merican war,
when Mr.. Roosevelt was Assistant
Secretary of the Navy, Mr.. Dayton
was the leader on the floor of the
House with the naval appropriation
bill, the chairman being sick.
Through his work on the Naval Com

touch with Mr.. Roosevelt and a
strong attachment sprana up between
them. Hence Mr.. Day ton may be
able to whisper in the Presidents
ear, while others can but stand off

TO she II. d q.

to 4he ID. - ".
The first official news OF the great
est railroad and coal sale ever nego-
tiated in the state OF West Virginia,
has been given out Reference is
made to the purchase of the Little
Kanawha River railroad and the ex-
tensive coal FIELDS in Braxton, Gllmer,
Lewis and Pocohontas counties bv the
Elkins- Davis syndicate with whom
is identified the Goulds of New York.
A representative of the syndicate
states that 500, 900 of the purchase
price has been paid by Senator Elkins,
who is the prime mover in the great
deal, and that the balance of $3.50, 600
Will be paid over on or before Nov
ember 10.
The coat lands that go with the
purchase OF the road cost in the
neighborhood of So, COO. 600, and are
the largest in area in richest in vein
depth in the Country
The failure of the Baltimore and
Ohio to get the Little Kanawha has
placed 1t in defensive position. and
instead of controlling the vast and ex-
tensive coal and timber trade in the
northern section OF West Virginia, it
will low be compelled TO come into
competition with new line thar
will extend from ocean to ocean, and
will be the largest carrier to the
lakes and TO the northwest of the en-
tire network of railroads that cross
the country from east TO west aud
from north TO south. This new sys-
tenn of the creative powers of Senator
Elkins and the Goulds. and the latter
will be able to get into the rich oil,
timber and coal fields of West Vir-
rgiDia for the first time.
The Wabash and Missouri Pacific
will be the western outlet to the Bal
tlmore and Ohio's new competitor.
and the entry TO the Atlantic seaboard
Will be over the Davis and Elkins
line into Virginia and thence by a new
route. perhaps TO Newport News or
NORFOLK. The Little Kanawha has 81
miles of trackage 10 a short distance
above Elizabeth. in Writ county. The
road will be continued 70 Travellers
Repose at the crest of the Alleghenies
| in Pocohontas county.
The grades for the transportation of
timber and coal to the Ohio river are
favorable, and enormous loads can be
hauled by ordinary locomotives. The
same is true OF the roads east OF the
Alleghenies, where the product will
be transferred to the seacoast for trade
in European cities.
The West Virginia Central, which
is controlled by the same syndicate,
opens up extensive coal fields of the
Freeport and Kittanning coal. An
other route from Elkins to the head
warters of the Kanawna by way OF
Buchannon and French Greek is also
controlled by the same syndicate. In
addition to coal, the timber and oil
fields OF Gilmer, Calhoun apd POGO
hontas counties are still IN their vir-
ign state. and il will require the
work of years TO divest the hills and
mountains of those interior counties
II their riches.
