WABASH RAILROAD
and MeGRAW'S BLUFF
Inside information Has it That
Wabash Along Tygart's Valley
is Merely One of His Much
TaIked-Of Schemes and 0
Will Not be Built.
Scheme, if Such it is, is Likely to be Laid Bare at
Any Time-Sudden Announcement Almost
Scared the ''Nigger Out of the Wood Pile.

From information, commonly termed
inside" the Telegram is furnished a
story that expIodcs the claims of those
who are interested in the movement to
take the Wabash by way of Grafton.
John T. McGraw is recognized the
state over as very shrewd gentleman,
one who has many schemes, financial, in
dustrial and political, some of which he
has carried through with great success,
but Others, especially those political, have
met with dismal failure. He is said 70
be the leading spirit in the movement
to get the Wabash up the river from
Fairmont to Grafton, but it is claimed
that he is merely putting up bluff and
that it Is not mattern OF concern to
him whether the road goes that way or
not from the fact that man of his intel
lect must recognize the fact that the
route of the Pittsburg, Elk 4 Southern,
which passes through ClarEsburg, is the
only practicable one in the state, Then,
again, it is claimed that his long identi-
iication with the Baltimore & Ohio gives
color to the inside information that that
road now building SO fast along the
Tygarts valley river IS all bluff.
1t is true there is a vast amount of
property along that route that must be
unloaded, or some parties are left in the
lurch, but whether the bluff can be kept
up long enough to carry out the scheme
remains to be seen.
The fact that lot Of men are along
that route throwing dirt does not signify
that single rail will ever be laid, and it
is a pumpkin to a chestnut that the
puff OF the mogul will never be heard
along it.
On the other hand the president OF
Pittsburg, Elk x Southern railroad viz
tually says that his proposed line is
a part of the Wabash system, and that
the road will surely come through
Clarksburg. This is significant, not only
from the point Of Mr.. Posts standing,
but on account of certain business ana
professional associations.
The Wabash may not come to Clarks,
burg until the bluff, If such it is, is really
called. The sudden scare interested par.
ties had when it was announced that the
road was coming this way, is another in,
dicaticn that there IS Niger in the
wood pile" and that he was about to be
scared out, but the bluff was renewed
and efforts to keep it up have been con.
slant ever since.
The only anxiety that need be felt in
this connection is over the outcome Of
the much-talked OF merger OF the Wa,
bash and Pennsylvania railroad interests,
in which event it is a matter Of grave
doubt whether any Wabash will be built
in West Virginia at all or not.

RE6ULARS
MAY PARTICIPATE IN THE WEST
VIRGINIA ENcAAGPMENT AT
HUNTINGTON.
Opinion That Approaching Encampment
VIII Be the Largest and Best Ever
Held IN West Virginia.

As was announced some days ago, the
state encampment of the National Guard
Of West Virginia will be held in Hunt
ingtOn, beginning August 4 and lasting
ten days.
Adjutant General Baker and Governor
White have just had conference about
the encampment.
The entire National Guard Of the state
viii participate in the encampment, and,
besides, there win probably be bat
talon Of regulars detailed from Fort
Thomas to participate in the encamp-
ment and give the citizens and soldiers of
West Virginia few pointers on how
she is did, in Uncle Sans magnificent
army.
Adiutant General Baker states that
his Office is in correspondence with the
war department with the object in view
of having several officers of the regular
army detailed to attend the encampment
as instructors, and also with the purpose
in view of having battalion of regulars
sent to Huntington to take part in the
encampment.
General Baker says that he has every
reason to believe that the request will be
complied with by the war department,
and expressed it as his opinion that
battalion of soldiers would probably be
detained from Fort Thomas. He says
they would probably march from the
Fort through to Huntington. although
they might be sent by either rail or
river.
General Baker is of the opinion that
the forthcoming encampment viii be the
largest and most important and interest
ing ever held by the militia of this
state. Preparations to make it a pro-
nounced success are now being made by
the adiutant general and his subordinate
officers.

ist," declared the colonel, God grant
that you have the better boat. A
victory by you will make for true
sport, for harmonious international re-
lations and for Sir Thomas Upton,
whom we all adore. Come and share
your fortunes with us. Lead us out
of the wilderness. Be our candidate
for President"
And truly they say, what's the con-
stitution between friends" commented
Gen. Bates.
Come in, Mr.. Arbuckle. How Is the
coffee market?' was one of Sir Thomas
thrusts.
Although there was no talk of wag-
ers on the result of the races on board
the Erin, there was a bet of a thous-
and to one made and lost, and just
because Lord Thunderstorm was certain
beyond peradventure that Sir Thomas
was born In Ireland. Col. Burbank Of
the United States army was equally
sure that Glasgow is the baronet's
birthplace, and 1t is. BY birth Sir
Thomas Upton is a Scotchman, though
his parents were both Irish.
Yes, l was born in Glasgow" he
said, when called upon to decide the
wager. my parents, on their way to
better their fortunes In America, went
to Scotland, and there l first saw the
light"
"of course that settles it," admitted
Lord Thunderstorm, but you are GO
ing back on Burke's Peerage when you
say So"

CHICAGO TAKES SECOND
PLACE IN NATIONAL

The race in the National League
has now settled down to the question
of just how far Pittsburg will win.
Ohicago's squirt in the final weeks of
the campaign is a veriflcation of the
prediction made in the Morning News
several weeks ago. The Colts are COM
ing down to excellent form now, and
have made the best record of any team
In the league for the past ten days.
Out of the thirteen games that they
have played they have won eleven.
But Pittsburg is winning, too. The
internal discussions that stirred the
team up a few weeks ago have been
QUelled and the Champions are again
in winning form. The Giants have
been steadily falling off, and it was
by defeating McGraw's aggregation
yesterday that the Colts went up to
second place. The Reds seem to have
hit the toboggan also, and unless some
thing can be done to strengthen their
pitching staff they will soon be neck
and neck with the st. Louis party.
McGinity, the iron man, has lost
much of his effectiveness by overwork
in the pas few weeks, and in trying
to take double-header from the Reds
few days ago he lost both. He is
now on the bench for a rest, and
Christy Mathewson has consented to
follow his suggestions in his work dur
ing the remainder of the season.

NOMINATED FOR PRESIDENT
Watterson Wants Sir Thomas for the Democratic
Candidate

One of the most amusing incidents
on Sir Thomas Lipton's yacht on the
day of the first race, or attempt at n
race, between Reliance and Shamrock
III was when Sir Thomas took per-
sonal charge of Commander Takes
hita, whose gallantry was the cause
of his getting a thorough wetting when
the rain suddenly poured down and
he devoted himself to seeing that the
ladies and their wraps were hurried
to shelter. Taking the commander by
the arm, Sir Thomas hurried him be-
low, and when the couple emerged a
few minutes later the attache was
clothed in oilskins and rubber boots.
the whole, however, surmounted by a
jaunty yachting cap. Pinning a spray
of shamrock on the commanders coat,
Sir Thomas proudly led him forth "a
full-fiedged Irlshman," as he declared,
and "Japan's advancement is now
complete"
In the smoking saloon there was no
cessation of the volley of chaff that
was hurled from one to another, and
even Sir Thomas could not escape.
With his most serious demeanor Col.
Waterson begged the baronet to be-
come the Democratic candidate for
President.
