More Rail Road Talk.

To the Editor OF The Argus.
ALBRiGHrsvmLE, August II, 1901
The long delayed and looked for railroad
down Cheat river is being revived again
There is gentleman from Pennsylvania
who represents a company of coal operat.
ors which build their own railroads when il
pays them to do so. This company proposes
TO build road down Cheat river from
Rowlesburg TO the mouth of Muddy creek
which will tap the richest mineral field in
the state perhaps. These hills are all
underlaid with those large veins of coal and
iron ore the best in the world John Mars
den had the pig metal the product of the
Muddy creek furnace tested in England and
it made the finest steel in the world. The
hills abound with this ore. We have plentv
OF fire clay, lime stone and am told lead
and silver ore. II was said year ago that
gold had been found which has never been
disputed but the secret is in the hands Of n
few persons only This road would carry
millions Of feet of lumber to the main line
OF road. The people seem TO be very much
elaied over the prospect Of this enterprise.
Now if some people don't get too stiff on
the right of way it looks like IL will make a
road this time but as this would make a
short line to Piusburg the land owners will
insist ON the road being built on through 10

But Parsons met with surprise
Tuesday of last week, when a club

score of 7 to 4. 1t was their first
defeat, and put them on their met

clubs played the best game ever put

score standing 5 to in favor of

LEE AND ROBSON
AT MI. Lake Park Last Thursday, aud
How They We're Received.

IN mann asAA dNAADNo IL VT. Lake
Park last Thursday were Captain
Richmond Pearson Hobson, Of Ala.
bama, now stationed in Washington
at the Navy Department and lately
returned from Manila, and that old
veteran of two wars. Fizhugh Lee,
of Richmond, Virginia, who is now
Brigadier General in the Regular
Army. The former spoke in the
forenoon on "Side Lights OF the
American Navy" and made a very
good speech, much better than we
expected. He has no special repu-
tation as an orator, but is known to
fame through his brave exploit in
running the old Merrimac into the
channel of the harbor at Santiago
de Cuba, one dark night, and sink.
ing IT under a heavy fire from the
Spanish forts and warships. The
object was to block the narrow
opening and prevent the escape of
the Spanish feet in the harbor. But
Hobson's sensational kissing cam
paign across the continent, when on
his way to Manila, created much
more excitement and comment than
his wild dash into the Jaws Of Death
and the Mouth of He'll at Santiago.
Over at Mt. Lake it was interest
ing to note that the magnificent
audience of five or six thousand
people was three-fourths women.
The girls were there in full force.
looking as sweet and kissable as
possible and just waiting for some
holder sister to make the break,
when there would have been the
biggest stampede in history. In
looking over the crowd we saw
many very pretty girls, and we de
cided that if Hobson needed any
assistance, we would be willing to
help him out during the rush, pro-
viding we didn't have to take in
everything that came along, for
some of the old maids and grass
and sod widows present would have
stopped dumb watch or side
tracked gravel train, and we have
no doubt but that Hobson would
have preferred to tackle the Spanish
fleet again, to all the false teeth and
paint and powder in that crowd.
After the lecture the audience were
given an opportunity to shake hands
with the Captain, and he was imme-
dlately surrounded by the whole
pushing struggling jam, and most
of the girls got squeezed anyhow,
even if they didn't get kissed.
Sitting back in the audience.
where the Captains face was in the
shadow, we did not think him par
ticularly handsome, but when we
shook hands with him and got a
good, close look, we found him ga
very kissabIe young man," as we
heard a lady remark. He is tall
and straight and muscular, with
smooth face, and piercing eyes that
look right through you as he takes
your hand in his and gives you a
regular country hand shake.
When he began his address he
gave old Gen. Lee (who was sitting
with him. great "send off," and
made a strong plea for the American
Navy and liberal appropriations for
1t, justly claiming that it merited
the confidence and loyal support of
our people.
