DEATH IN CHEW OF TOBACCO.

Huntington Advertiser, Feb. s.
The big washout at Welch and
Thacker lsst summer will be re-
membered by all Advertiser read
ers. In the drift that came down
Sandy, Wayne Policy and Oliver
Curputte, two farmers near Round
Bottom, Wayne county, caught a
box of sweet tobacco. 1t had never
been opened, and they judged it
had been the property of some mer-
chant at Welch or Thacker.
They opened the box, divided
the contents and have been chew
ing this tobacco ever since that
time.
Last Saturday Mr.. Policy took a
chew of tobacco and detected at
once that it tasted peculiar. Soon
his mouth began to burn and be
at once threw away the chew, but
his tongue and one side of his face
was paralyzed. He FASTENED at
once for DR.. Banfield at Buchan-
an, who rendered the suffering
man what assistance he could.
Since then Mr.. Policy has been in
a serious condition.
He DESTROYED the plug Of tobacco
from which he took the chew so
that there was no way to tell what
had caused the poison; but this
ls sure, Mr.. Policy will not use
any more tobacco found floating
in Big Sandy.

An important Decision.

The United States Supreme Court
has just rendered decision that is
of great importance to the people of
this State, as it decides a question
that is liable at any time to come up
IN any of the cities and towns of the
State.
The town of Weston undertook to
reclaim part of public street which
had been taken up by citizen, who
claimed his ownership to it under
the statute of limitations The case
came up to the State supreme
court, which held that no time
would give a right by possession
TO any person to a public street In
making this decision the State SUI
preme court reversed former rul
ings The case was then taken to
the United States Supreme Court.
When the case came up to the SUI
preme court of the United States,
that court decided that the United
States Circuit Court had no iuris-
diction and dismissed the case, thus
virtually affirming the latest decis-
ION OF the supreme court of this
State, which is now the accepted
law on this matter in the State of
West Virginia.
In other words, no citizen can
take up public property and hold it
against the rights of the public,
which never expire, as there is no
statute of limitations that does away
with the public's rights as to what
was once public property

Editor Taft makes use of the fol-

DJMONT NOT DISCOURAGED
Orders New Motor and Will Try Again to
Cross the Mediterranean.

New York, Feb. 19.-M. Santos
Dumont is already at work preparing
his plans for the rebuilding of his air.
ship, wrecked on his last attempt to
cross the Mediterranean, says Journal
and American dispatch from Monaco.
Efforts to grapple his motor, the sink
ing of which was the most serious loss
of his disastrous attempt, have all
failed, and he has ordered a new and
more powerful one. That he will ulti-
mately cross the sea is regarded here as
a certainty, for only his death will stop
him. Though he was near to death
from drowning, from being smothered
in the folds of his collapsed balloon,
and from being burned to death from
the igniting of the Oil he uses for fuel,
his peril seems to have made the least
possible impression ON him. The peril
20 which he was exposed and the mar
rowness of his escape he dismisses with
a shrug of his shoulders, but on the
subject of the loss of his motor and the
delay in his plans caused by that mis-
fortune he is desperately eloquent.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Several days

cure the passage of his bill for pension.
ing the Indian war veterans, but Aid.
rich, of Rhode Island, objected. Today
there was lull in the senate business.
and Mitchell saw his chance, but as
Aldrich had gone away, senatorial
courtesy would not allow the bill to
come up. Mitchell, however, caught
the Rhode Island senator on the tele-
phone, got his permission to have the
objection withdrawn, and the bill was
passed without opposition. Heretofore
Speaker Henderson has stood in the
way of the passage of this bill in the
house, but Senator Mitchell has conf
dence that the house will give it con-
slderation this session. The speaker
and the members of the committee on
rules are close personal friends of
Mitchell, and he hopes that time will
be given for the consideration of the
bill. The Oregon members are working
industriously to secure a majority in
the house for the consideration of the

MERGING SAVINGS BANKS.
Big Consolidation Scheme That Is Unde,
Way at Cleveland.

Cleveland, Feb. 1s.-At three meet
ings held during the past week. the
preliminary arrangements were com.
pleted in this city for one of the most
gigantic bank consultations in the
history of money and banking in Ohio.
In general the plan contemplates the
consolidation of nearly all the smaller
savings banks in Cleveland and will
eventually absorb a number of banks
in nearby, towns. The elimination of
the smaller savings banks means their
absorption into one great associated
bank to be located somewhere in the
heart Of the city, with capitalization
Of more than 81, 100000. At first no
new capital stock will be issued, but
the capital stock of all the banks going
into the associated bank will be turned
into pool to form the capital stock of
the combined bank. It is planned to
include in the consolidation from the
start all the smaller outlying banks in
the city, some Is or 20 in number. It
is not probable that the names of the
banks interested will be announced un-
til all have signed the agreement.
