CHARLESTON, Dec. 10-There Is a
distinct impression IN political circles
here that a close corporation has besn
formed among number of the lead
ing Republican momber OF the legis-
lature and few Office holders and
politicians to control the distribution
of the various, fat jobs to be given out
at the coming session of the Legisla-
ture, and Col. James Kelsey Hall, OF
Wheeling, and one or two other moth
ern Pan Handle politicians and states
men are alleged to be chief among TIL
conspirators. Mr.. Hail was here sew
eral days last week, ostensibly on bus
mess, but there was something doing
son the side" as the boys say. One
OF the arrangements under way is to
make Will Caldwell Speaker of the
House, with Hood, chief clerk, Clark
May, President Of the Senate and
John T. Harris clerk of that body.
This is believed to be the slate,
but Cunningham, of Tucker, may
come into town with strength
enough to take the Speakership, and
in that event there will have to be a
new division of the spoils along the
geographical lines.

RUNNING WATER MAINS.
Escaping electricity Responsible for
Damage, According to City Engineer
Rider.

FAIRMoNT, Dec. 10-City Engineer
Joseph B. Rider Is authority for the
rather startling statement TO the eff
feet that the improper insulation OF
the street car rails is allowing a cur
rent of electricity to get to the water
mains of the city and that they are
being corroded and ruined. 1t is said
that Mr.. Rider made test recently
and found that from two to seven
volts OF current were running through
the different water mains on the
streets traversed by the car line.
These pipes show the effects Of tie
current and in several places they are
nearly worn through. 1t Is also
stated that the iron in the Southside
bridge is being ruined by the current
from the tracks on the viaduct.
Manager Hood Of the car company
was seen this morning and he said
that be was unaware of the condl-
tion OF things and that he had no
idea that his line was Improperly In
sulated. He said that he would i'm
mediately look into the matter and
make such changes as are necessary.
