On account of the strike in the
building trades, work has stopped on
263 structures in New York City,
representing an investment Of ST.
1880 The loss in wages to the
strikers is said to amount to 100000
day. In spite of the loss they are
suffering, the employers of labor in all
branches of the building trades show
no sign of giving in to the strikers.
These associations represent every
branch Of the business, from excava-
ting to painting, and their combined
capital exceeds $500,000,000. En-
ployers who represent many millions
of dollars declare the matter of wages
is a mere detail compared with the
greater principle at stake-that of
permitting the unions to control the
building business of the city.

The Martinsburg World says that
the Shenandoah slate quarries, one OF
Berkeley county's newest industries,
are Just now being rapidly developed,

the money just outside of Martinsburg
about ten days ago and advertised for
it, and it was said that Butts had it
but refused to turn it ever. Butts
purchased a watch, an entire new out

ginning to "sport" on the remainder

ing recovered 1924 of the money.

The Treasury Department has given
solar plexus blow to DR.. Crum, Pres
ident Roosevelt's colored collector Of
the port of Charleston, C. The dis
bursting officer refuses to pay him any
salary or fees, on the ground that his
appointment is not legal, having been
refused confirmation by the Senate.
So Crum Will not get any pay until
the Senate confirms his appointment,
which will probably never be, or I'M
less Congress passes a special act to
pay him.
Wonder what the President will do
about it?

Seek Separation After Twenty Years.

The testimony 10 divorce suit with
many sensational features was submit
tel to Judge f Boyd Faulkner of the
Circuit Court at Martinsburg Satur-
day, and will be decided at the open
ing of the September term Of the cir
cunt court. Mrs. Anna Weaver is
seeking to obtain an absolute separa-
ton from her husband, C. A. Weaver,
one Of the wealthiest and most widely
known farmers Of Berkeley county.
Although they had lived together
for nearly twenty years and have two
children, the plaintiff asks for a d.
yorce on the ground of cruel treatment,
abandonment, adultery and the fear
of bodily injury. Her complaint al
leges that her husband twice threat
eued to kill her, once with a revolver
and once with knife, and that he has
repeatedly beaten and choked her an d
driven her from his roof.
The defendant is fighting the case
holly, aud in his counter-charges de-
MES in toto the charges of his wife.
He is seeking to obtain a divorce on
the ground Of incompatability Of tenn
per, and wants possession Of the chill
dren and to be exempt from paying
alimOuy.
The courtroom was filled with
spectators, and as both sides are pro-
ceedins as quietly as possible, Judge
Faulkner adjourned to his private
room, where the testimony, in the
shape Of dispositions, was submitted.
No oral arguments were made, the
counsel agreeing to submit the case
through the medium of briefs. The
case has attracted widespread atten-
ton, the defendant being one Of the
most prominent Of Berkeley county
men.

IT is indeed an obtuse man who
can honestly convince himself that
Mr.. Cleveland hasn't his eye on the
presidency once more. The editor of
the Athens Georgia. Banner recently
wrote to Mr.. Cleveland, assuring him
of strong sentiment in favor of his
denomination as President, and asking
Mr.. Cleveland to say whether or not
be would again be candidate. The
ex-President wrote in reply
Il can say no more than to assure you
that at no time since the close of my
last administration have been DESTROYS
of carrying the Democratic banner for
the fourth time in a presidential con-
test"
Mr.. Cleveland has sufficient COM
mand of the English language to be
able to express himself very clearly If
he so desires. He declines to say that
he will not be candidate. We are
satisfied that he would willingly carry
the banner the fourth time if he is
asked to do so, and we shouldn't be
surprised ifhe would carry it TO victory.

after congress begins its session in De-
cember It is probable that the leading
men of the party Will come together and
consider who may be chosen for the
presidential candidate. but it is lmpos-
sible now to make any forecast"
What do you think of the Cleveland
boom?" Mr.. German was asked
Well he replied. 1T IS difficult to
say My impression is that 1t IS one OF
those boons which are frequently started
in newspapers about this time in adj
vance of election and may be reckoned
with those of Judge Parker and Mr.
Bryan and others who have been men
toned as possibilities. All talk now IS
simply talk
As to the Republican nomination 7
do not think there is any question about
Mr.. Roosevelt being the choice of the
Republican party. That is as much a
foregone conclusion as was the Cleve-
land nomination at the end of his first
term.
I do not think Hanna is opposed to
Roosevelt Hanna's name viii be up
before the Ohio state convention for in
dorsement for reelection to the United

wished to have action taken upon that
matter at the present time and defer
Mr. Roosevelt's Endorsement until a later
convention. Hanna has announced that
he is not a candidate for the presI-
