to get liquor license. The corpor-

FIVE acres of land across the Cheat
river, directly opposite Hendricks,
and built twelve large houses and
moved in families large enough to
represent 1O3 souls. All this has
transpired since January 9. In the
June term of court at Parsons, the
county seat of Tucker county, he had
his town incorporated under the new
name of Brooklyn Heights. On June

mayor and council were elected, and
right after he applied to the county
court for license to sell liquors in the
corporation of Brooklyn Heights, which
was granted. He Immediately started

forty-eight hours he was distributing
the beverage gratis. He has now
contracted for a cable foot-bridge

of between $3.50 and $500, and has
also built village lookup. He is
now selling liquor in his own town
and under his own mayor and city

The readers of this paper will be

one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in al its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure Known to the

constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutionai treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly on the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation Of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers, that

Counterfeit Gold.

Few persons know that the gold used
in color printing and on picture frames
is made from a composition powder Of
bronze and spelter, and not from pure
gold leaf, but which, however, gives the
same effect There is another article
that is very much initiated, and that is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Spurious
dealers often refill the bottles, and thus
give them the same appearance as the
original, but unless they have our Pri-
vate Stamp unbroken over the neck they
are not the genuine. Refuse all such
limitations. The genuine Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters has an unequalled rec
ord of cures of stomach complaints back
of it, such as dyspepsia, indigestion,
constipation, billiousness, nervousness,
insomnia, and malaria, fever and ague.

West Virginia Troops Called Out.

The Second WestVirginia Regiment
including two companies from Parkers-
burg, three from Huntington, one from
Ronceverte, was ordered to proceed
to Thurmond last Friday to preserve
order in the New River coal region.
Governor White, in explanation of his
order calling out the troops, said
Il ordered the troops sent because the
sheriff of Fayette county made a for
NAL demand in writing upon me and
came in person to see me, stating that
he was powerless, with a posse conf
tatus, to control the situation and keep
the peace and preserve persons and
property in Fayette county from vio'
lence and destruction. He said repeat
ed attempts at assassination had been
made, several men assaulted and
wounded, and conditions exist, owing
to the topography Of the country and
the numerous operations, which made
it impossible Tor him to effectively
repress disorder. He demanded aid
to keep peace and order. From in
vestigations made by me and the out.
break at Red Ash, felt it my duty
to respond to the call of the sheriff for
aid, believing that he had exhausted
every effort and tried to do his full
duty. Personally, l regret very
much the necessity for taking this
step, but when called upon by the
chief law officer Of the county for aid,
there is no other alternative but to
render such assistance as the military
arm of the government can give"
The operators in the New River
coal fields have been busy the past
week putting the families of the mi
ners out of the company houses. 1t
is said that over thousand families
have been evicted. Many had no
homes to 60 to, and hundreds slept on
the hillsides the past week, with only
the trees for shelter. Leading citi-
zens appealed to Governor White for
tents to give them temporary homes,
but he wrs forced to reply that he had
none to offer them. Food is scarce,
and the condition of the people is pit
liable in the extreme. Some Of the
soldiers have even shared their food,
provided by the State, with the fami-
lies of the men who are in the strike.
An unexpected situation has re-
suited from the ordering out of the
National Guard to preserve order in
the coalfelds. The soldiers, whose
sympathies were all with the strikers
from the first, have used their infu-
ence with the men who are at work,
and have persuaded so many of them
to join the strikers that the detachment
stationed at Rush Run bad to be re-
called and sent to another point to
keep it from emptying the mine.

There has been another fearful erup-
ton of Mount Pelee, in the Island of
Martinique. The towns of Morne
Rouge and Ajoupa Bouillon were de-
stroyed, and at least l 200 persons, it
is believed, persisted. The destruC-
ton of Morne Rouge was so complete
that not single human being,it is re-
ported, was left to tell the awful story.
Ajoupa Bouillon is in ruins, but the
loss Of life at that place was not as
great as atMorne Rouge. About 200
were killed at Ajoupa Bouillon and
over 400 injured, many Of whom will
die. Rivers Of scalding water and mud
that were elected from the volcano
poured over the doomed towns, the
inhabitants meeting fearful deaths
All accounts describe the scene as a
superb, though appalling, manifesto
ton of nature. Clouds of varying
hues, pierced by thousands Of points
of light and at times immense bursts
of fire, hung over the mountains. The
earth shook and trembled, the sea be-
came terribly agitated when the erup-
ton occurred, and a short time after
ward tidal wave swept the whole
coast. lie Carbet was flooded and
many of the inhabitants drowned. At

The Republican leaders are becom-
ing tremendously measy at the contln-
uance Of the coal strike. The arro-
gance Of the coal barors in utterly
refusing to listen to any suggestion OF
arbitration or compromise is setting
the people generally against the Coal
Trust and the party whole policy en-
ables it to flourish.
In few weeks cold weather will come
on, and anthracite coal will be so high
that people of moderate circumstances
will scarcely be able to buy it, and
there will of necessity be suffering
and inconvenience among the poor.
This will not be good for the party in
power.
Strenuous efforts are being made by
politicians and others to end the
strike at once, but the operators are
still putting up a bold front and de-
clare they will not yield one point.
