saddest Feature Of His Departure
Was His Failure to Tell His
co-barbers Goodbye.

! . u
Another Of Frank Welch's BARRIERS
has hidden Clarksburg adieu from all
appearances. This time 1t was Ed
Armacost, whose nimble fingers, curly
black locks parted in the middle and
big black rolling eyes and rather
handsome face, Interested all who sat
ia the second chair as the happy vic
TINS OF his tonsorial manipulations.
He executed the duties Of his craft
with admirable skill and dextertty
and must have incurred the secret
Jealous wrath Of his co.barbers, who
are up to snuff in the art themselves.
He received his pay as usual Saturday
night and took his kit Of tools out OF
the shop unobserved by the proprie-
tor. He is supposed to have gone
straightway to Cincinnati, his OLD
home. The pathetic feature OF MS
sudden departure was that he did not
even say goodbye to the boys ana
they are very sad. 1t is claimed ne
left little board bill behind, just a
little one, sl5 at most. But the Del
son hotel will not miss the money SO
much as they viii. his affable presence.
Armacost came here six weeks ago
from Salem and worked just five
weeks for WEIGH. Evidently, the di-
nance against Sunday shaving has de-
moralizing effect and drives some bar
bers to such distraction that they
find Clarksburg unbearable.

W. Va. Central Sold
to Pensy for $t7,OOO,0OO
Senators Elkins and Davis unIo.d
at Enormous Figures.

A New York special Of January 9Th
says the West Virginia Central rail
road, owned by Senator Stephen b.
Elkins and his father .in.aw, ex Sena-
tor Henry G. Davis, has been sold to
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
for 81, 900, 900. The salehas not been
confirmed by the parties interested,
but it is known on good authority that
the terms have been agreed to and the
negotiations that have been pending
for many weeks have ended satisfac-
torily to all concerned. 1t is expected
that formal confirmation will be made
of the deal this week.
The sale of the West Virginia Cen
trail to the Pennsylvania is no sur.
prise to the railroad interests in this
city. 1t has been pending for some
time and Senator Elkins who has been
conducting the negotiations for the
West Virginia Central Company and
President Cassett, of the Pennsylvania
have been almost innumerable con.
ferences, and within the last three
weeks have been together practically
every day. Hence, it is no surprise
here, the announcement of the deal
having been made.
1t will, however, be somewhat OF a
disappointment to many persons in
West Virginia, for there it has been
thought all along that the West Vir-
ginia Central had combined with the
Gould's Wabash system toput trunk
line through West Virginia via the
Little Kanawha railroad route, from
tidewater to the Great Lakes. 1t
would seem from this deal that that
Impression was entirely erroneous,
and that the Little Kanawha railroad
company is independence the West
Virginia Central, as this is of the
Wabash, but it is said that there is a
very clear understanding between the
Wabash and Little Kanawha people,
and that after the extension of the
latter road IL will ultimately become a
trunk line which will be the Gould
interests.
The fact that the Elkins- Davis-Ker-
ems combination purchased $4,000
acres of Pittsburg coal inthe counties
of the upper Little Kanawha Valley
lent color to the reported schemes Of
their alliance with the interests be-
hind it in the background,
The West Virginia Central is one
OF the greatest coal roads, considered
from the standpoint of tonnage in the
country. Along its main line from
Cumberland, Keyser TO Elkins, and its
branches, the Elkins.Davis-K erens
combination own and operate 100000
acres of Freeport coal. The output
is something enormous and train after
loaded with coal, traverse it daily.
The main line is l25 miles long and
there are number of feeders and
branches.
Last September the sale of the road
was almost made, the price agreed
upon then being slO,OoOOo but Davis
objected to the sale and it fell
through. His objection, it would
seem, :was worth S7,0OOOOO since the
road is now disposes oftfof 81, 10000

FORAKER
Crowd Does Not Like the Ham
Slate.

Cleveland, o., May 27.-The Hanna
slate has been nearly completed for the
Republican State convention.
The slate contains the name Of
Judge Crew, of McConnelsville, for
Supreme Court Judge. The name in
the blank left for Dairy Food Com.
missioner Is missing, but therein is a
statement to the effect that no candi'
date having the backing of Joe Black.
burn Is to be given the support of loyal
Hanna men. AS Blackburn has little
machine OF his own of no mean pro.
portions, which he has built during his
two terms as Dairy and Food Com
missioner, he Is not likely to forsake
his man without a struggle, and a
pretty fight IL promised.
Blackburn has arrived, and 1t Is
known now that his man for the posi-
tion which Hanna has said he may
not fiji with one of his friends is Fred
Herbst of Columbus. The Hanna peo-
pie have not united on man to op-
pose Herbst as yet. Horace Ankeney
would like to be that man, but he
has not vet been awarded the prefer
ence. The delay has somewhat to do,
1t is claimed, with the fact that Cox
has recently said that while he Is will
ing to help in the staying of the
Blackburn nominee he can see no man
at present in the field whom he cares
To support.
The Hanna slate may not have an
easy passage through this convention.
Foraker strength seems to he loom

faction viii probably unite on Judge
Woods, of Athens, for their bench
candidate, and they will undoubtedly
assist Blackburn In his attempt to land
his man despite the Hanna frown.

Judgeship are Judge Norris. of Youngs-
