FIGHTING RIVALS.
Messrs Post and McGraw Hit
Back at Them.

C. and o. and b. land o. Combine to
put the Greenbrier, Monongahela
and Pittsburg Railroad out Of Bush
ness-Injunction Issued by judge
Goff.
Hon. M. d. Post of Grafton has
been in town on business connected
with the Greenbrier, Monongahela
and Pittsburg railroad in which
Hon. John I. MeGraw is so much
interested. This road runs from
point in Pocahontas county north to
Pittsburg by way of the Cheat and
Monongahela values.
The c. and O. and the b. and o.
have been fighting it. The other
day plan was put into effect in
Poeahontas county to put the road
out of the way. How this has de-
veloped may be seen from the fol
lowing from Clarksburg;
Judge Nathan Goti, United States
Circuit Judge for the fourth circuit
upon a bill filed by McGraw and
Post, solicitors for the Greenbrier,
Monongahela d Pittsburg Railroad
Company, today granted an injunc-
tion against the Chesapeake d Ohio
Railroad Company restraining it
from building its road over the route
surveyed and located by the Green
brier, Monongahela d PittsDurg
Railroad Company, from the town of
Durbin, in Pocahontas county, West
Virginia. through the counties of
Tucker. Preston and Monongalia, to
the town of Point Marion in Penn
sylvania.
This line of the Greenbrier, Mon
ongahela q Pittsburg Railroad Com
pany is the natural route through
West Virginia, from the lines of the
G. and @. and B. and O. to Pitts
burg. 1t seems that the Chesapeake
d Ohio, being unable to secure this
line, is endeavoring to pre-. empt it.
On Sunday it put four hundred men
to work on the rights of way of the
Greenbrier, Monongahela Il Pitts
burg railroad near Durbin, whereup
on that company applied 10 Judge
Golf and secured the injunction
which now puts the fight IN the Fed
eral court.
It is said here that the Wabash Is
interested to see the route of the
Greenbrier, Monongahela Dc Pitts
burg railroad maintained and the
natural advantages of this route
would indicate the truth of the ru-
NOR. 1t is also said that the action
of the Chesapeake q Ohio In attack
ing this road at its Pocahontas ter
minus will be followed by the B. d
o. In an attack at the Preston and
Monongalia terminus. The survey
through Pocahontas county runs
for the most part through lands
owned by John T. McGraw and Mr..
McGraw had sold exclusive rights
of way through these lands to the
Greenbrier, Monongahela d Pitts
burg Railroad Company.

OPINION
OF DISTINGUISHED Party from Outside
the State that the Democrats will
Sweep West Virginia.

"For the past two months / have
been sojourning in West Virginia,
and have been in nearly every county
of the state, said Mr.. H. l.. Garyey, Of
Cincinnati, at the Raleigh.
From what / have seen, the DEM
oerats will make clean sweep up
there in the coming campaign.
From observation based on interviews
with prominent men of both parties,
the Republicans are in state OF utter
Generalization, caused by chickering's
and jealousies. On the other hand,
theDemocrats are united and more ag-
gressive and enthusiastic than they
have been in years.
1T will be no surprise II the next
delegation from West Virginia is sol
idly Democratic. The present Con-
gressmen from that State are regarded
as boilers and as inimieal TO the Pres
ident, and their record the last ses-
sion of Congress, when they opposed
MI. Roosevelt's Cuban policy, will
cause them the loss OF thousands Of
votes. The President is extremely
popular in West Virginia, and when
the Congressional delegation acted
contrary to his wishes they ruined
themselves at home.
another consideration is the strike
of the coal miners. Heretofore the
miners have been the bulwark OF the
Republican party in the State.
This year they will support the DEM
ocratic nominees in the First, Thru,
and Fifth Congressional districts al
most solidly. In these districts the
Republicans have no sort of chance.
In the Second district John T Nc
Graw will win over Mr. Dayton easily,
as Dayton's supporters have apparent
ly gone to sleep. w Washington Post.

One of the fruits of the movement
to secure a better National guard in
this state is the new "West Virginia
National Guard Association" which
was formed at the last encampment
and is just getting on its feet. The
officers are: Col. A. S. Huston, first adj
jutant of the First, is first vice pres
ident; COL FL. Smith, of the Second,
is second vice president; Col. w. III
Peyton, secretary and treasurer; the
Rev. A. M. Buchanan, chaplain. The
executive board has not been formed.
nor the members appointed. The
guardsmen all over the state are
evincing commendable interest in the
new organization. 1t is formed prim-
arily to further encourage and perfect
a thorough military system in the
guard. The composition of the exec
utiye committee insures representa-
tive membership and distribution OF
authority The members are to be one
member from the brigade staff, one
from the medical department, one
from the signal corps, two from the
First and two from the Second regi-
ments. The chairman Of the commit
tee shall be the president of the asso-
citation.
The revenues of the association are
derived from annual dues OF 81 on each
member, and If necessary an assess
ment which shall be not more than $3
in any one year. The secretary and
treasurer ia tn furnish n bond of al
900. 1t is said that by the close OF a
couple of months every guardsman
will have placed his name on the roll.
Other states have derived much good
from similar organizations. The West
Virginia association starts suspicious

MORE PROFILES.
The Morgantown Railroad Com
pany gets Busy.

Col. j. c. Frazer has filed maps and
Profiles OF road Running down the
West Side of the River from Morgan
town to the State line.
Profiles and maps of the Morgan.
town Railroad Company were filed
in the office of Clerk Price today.
These profiles show road running
from a point near Morgantown to
the state line nine miles below here.
The starting point is near the
Brick Yard ON the West Side and
the road follows the west side all
the way to It's northern terminus.
Ernest P. Jones is president of
the company and P. 2. Patterson is
the secretary It operates under q
West Virginia charter. The other
incorporators are w. M. Lindsay,
A. M. Neeper and John D. Evans.
All of them but Evans live in Pitts
burg. He is resident of Alleghe-
ny.
The capital stock subscribed is
$1,000. Col. j. c. Frazer filed the
maps and profiles in question but he
will not say anything about the road
or its hackers.
It is probably a Wabash feeder.
The filing of these profiles took place
after the visit of M. d. Post to Nor
gantown. He and MeGraw have
some schemes which the b. and O.
is fighting as may be seen from an ar
ticle in another column.
Every one here hopes that the road
may be built no matter who Is back
of it. We heed railroads and plenty
of them. This plan is independent of
the scheme for road from this place
to Waynesburg.

BIG CHANGES

Made In Reality in the East End Addi.
tiOn-Ten Thousand Dollars Worth
Already Sold.
G. w. Finnell recently sold $40, OPS
worth OF lots In Rogers East End adj
dition. These lots lie on Sabraton
and Redwood avenues. 1t is only
recently that these lots have been
placed on the market but they are re-
ceiving much favorable attention and
they are in great demand. The lots
are close to town, and are well located
and have many conyeniences to those
wishing homes. MIR. Finnell has been
pushing them very ably and IL is due
In no small measure to his hnstling
that so many of them have been plac-
ed. There are still number OF very
choice lots left and the prices at which
they are being sold commend thein 10

states that an increase of about this fig

rotary of the Illinois district, says his
district win ask for this amount of in
crease and the Indiana and Ohio leaders
say they viii ask the same. Secretary
Ryan was chairman of the miners scale
committee last year. The miners then
made a demand for straight increase of
10 per cent on a straight run of mine
basis, but this was not granted, and the
old scale was finally adopted. The last
increase the miners received was at Co
lumbus, three years ago. It was from Is
to % per cent. The miners have had a
statistician at work for months on fig
ures on which they win base a demand
for an increase.
