THE SUMMER SCHEDULE.

A new time table went into effect
last Sunday, May 10, on the b. &
o. railroad and will be found cor
rected up to date on our first page
and even ahead Of time, as the
schedule of the Accommodations
Nos, S and 8 do not 60 into effect
till June I'd. The former is the
Accommodation West in the eve
ming and is about two hours later
than SIS, which stops at Terra Alta
and Tunnelton and No. is the
morning Accommodation east,
which leaves Grafton at 7 O'Clock.
So until June "a the only train East
in the morning is the Express No.
?, which leaves Grafton at s O'Clock
and stops at Newburg, Tunnelton
and Terra Alta and is all right for
the people at these points but any
one from Kingwood or other parts
of the county that wants to go East
in the morning will have to go to
Newburg, Tunnelton or Terra Alta
the evening before. Going East in
the afternoon we have four trains,
one Accommodation and three fast
trains. First, 80 which stops a,
Tunnelton and Terra Alta at 3.ss
and 4.24 just the same as heretofore.
Then the Accommodation No. "a
comes along about twenty minutes
behind 40 and stopping of course a,
every station. The fastest train on
the road, No. IL, leaves Grafton a,
GAS p. M. and only makes one
stop in the county, at Terra Alta,
at S.Is. Then No. 4 leaving Graf.
ton at 1910 at night stops at New.
burg and Tunnelton only to receive
or discharge passengers and will moi
nanule baggage or express but
makes a reglar stop at Terra Alta
at 1918. Going West in the morn
ing we have very good accommoda.
tons. First, No. 3 which stops al
Terra Alta, Rowlesburg, Tunnelton
and Newburg at 1853, $40, 8.44
and goa almost the same time as
heretofore. Then the regular Ac.
commodation No. II comes along
about an hour later than heretofore
being due at Terra Alta at 10. &C
and Tunnelton at II. 20 instead oil
10. 81 as heretofore. In the after
noon West we have SIS now and will
have No. S after June "a. We
should have these other accommo
dations on now and we would have
very good train facilities, but il
seems the b. * O. officials think i,
wont pay till the season opens al

The alleged investigation of the
commissary stealing, at Manila, is
resulting in the old, old story.
Some insignificant persons are be-
ing made scapegoats and the big
thieves who have a pull, are not
touched. Friends of the admins
tration are pointing to the sentence
OF sergeant to three years i'm
prisonment and of a civilian en-
ploye to five years, as showing that
the thieves are being punished, but
thoughtful persons regard that news
as indicating that the little thieves
only are to be punished, while the
big thieves are left at liberty to en-
JOY the fruits of their thefts.

Three daring buglars broke into
the residence of J. Otis Watson,
the big coal operator, who lives
near Fairmont, last Saturday night,
and robbed the place of FIVE or six
hundred dollars worth Of silver
ware and money. They woke up
the colored butler and Frank Watson
and covered them with revoIvers
while the other robber ransacked
the house. All were masked and
got safely away. As old Mr.. Wat
son is SO years of age, the shock
was a severe strain on him.

WASHINGTON TER.
Still Trying to Bamboozle the
Cubans.
The Small Thieves ut Manila Being
Punished and The Big Ones Allowed
to Escape.

WAsHrNcroN, May rS, roor.-
\ most extraordinary promise
was this week made the Cubans by
the administration, through Senator
Platt, of Connecticut. And the
method of making ii was as extra
ordinary as the promise. Senator
Plat, just after an extended con-
ference with Secretary Root, at
which advices from Gen. Wood
saying that the Cubans were hang
ing back about accepting the Platt
amendment, waiting for some def
mite assurance OF tariff concessions,
were carefully gone over, gave out
an authorized interview, in which
he promised that Congress would,
soon after the Cuban government
was organized, arrange for form
of reciprocity with Cuba that would
be satisfactory. OF course this was
done in diplomatic language, so
that in case Congress fails TO see
reciprocity with Cuba and admins
tration eyes it can be claimed that
Senator Platt was only speaking for
himself. But there is no doubt
that it was intended for the Cubans
to regard the promise as coming
from the administration and the
Republican majority in Congress.
1t is understood that this promise
was made because the Cubans did
not consider promise to negotiate
a reciprocity treaty under the Ding
ley law, which would require the
approval of two thirds of the Senate
to become operative, satisfactory.
1t may be that the administration
can make good Senator Platt's pro-
mise, but the sugar and tobacco
interests of this country will be sure
to make it stable job, and 1t may
make trouble for Senator Platt in
his own State, the tobacco growers
of which woul be affected to con-
siderable extent.

islation at this session. The confer
ence adjourned subject to the call of
Senator Plat, whenever, in his judg-
ment, police legislation seems neees-
sary. All who were talked with say
the conference was harmonious.
Chairman Dunn of the Republican
state committee. tonight. gave out the
following statement concerning the
conference:
Police legislation was generally dis
cussed and the merits of the Metropol-
itan police bin and the state police bill
taken up. Many persons spoke on the
measures and police Legislation in gen
eral. After this discussion Senator
Platt said that he thought it was in
expedicnt to pass any further police
legislation at this time and that the
matter remain until such time as war
ranted the calling of the conference
for further discussion on this subject.
"A motion was then made to adj
journ, Senator Ellsworth being the
mover. The senator said that owing to
the position of Senator Platt that Jas
is was expedient at this time to pass
further police legislation the confer
ence ought to adjourn subject to the
call of Senator Plat, at such a time
as there existed a situation which
warra nted the calling of another con-
ference Now that is the kernel of the
meeting"

Republican party for seventeen years
and | never saw such q harmonious
conference"
This evening. Senator Platt gave out
, the following statement:
The general opinion of those at the
conference was that the police condi-
lions existing in New York ought to
have the attention of the Legislature.
but that it would be useless to pass
any bill. as the Governor has decid-
ed that he would veto it, Some Of
+ those present favored state police
law and others favored metropolitan
district but it was conceded by all that
nothing should be done at present.
Il regret the situation as ! believe
that some action by the Legislature is
important for the city and Republican
party. and | think that such will be
the general public opinion soon. But
if nothing is to be done and if the pre-
sent bad conditions are to be submit
ted To. the Legislature is not response
bic for that

pal election that the judgment which
I have formed upon this subject has

VICE IN NEW YORK.
Committee Of Fifteen Approves

For Driving Out of Vice from the

intrusion and wide extension of prosti-
tuition in the tenement houses the

wage earners are compelled to live
There will probably, for long
time to come, continue to be differen-
ccs of opinion as to the degree in
which it is possible to check social vice
in our great cities, but there can be no
two opinions as to the necessity of
protecting children of tender years
from close contact with depravity. An
intimate acquaintance with adult vice
should at least not be forced upon
young children by permitting such
vice to penetrate into the very houses
in which they live.
The cry of parents when they ask
merely for the opportunity of bring
ing up their children in an atmosphere
free from the pollution of the most de-
grading forms of moral evil should
surely be needed. What alarming pro-
portion the condition Of affairs men
