GARTER OIL COMPANY
Pays a Heavy Fine in Elizabeth,
Writ County, w. Va.

A citizen Of our town whose
reputation for truth and verac-
ity is high, told us one day this
week that in recent converse
ton between himself and an agent
Of the Carter Oil company the
said agent gave him the following
surprising news:
The company has instructed
me to 60 round Elizabeth in ev-
cry way that their business will
possibly allow me to do.
As related to us the facts are
as follows:
The company had some casing
nicely piled down on the grade
by the wharf awaiting the first
water or any other opportunity to
get the casing removed to some
up river point. The river was long
frozen and the company made
really much effort to get teams to
haul the casing to the desired
point. No one would undertake
it. 1t had been placed in CEN
trail part of the grade, leaving
room for teams to drive around
it easily and conveniently. But
some one preferred against said
Carter Oil company charges in
the Mayors court, and the Mayor
did not give the company the
lowest fine allowed no, nor me-
dunn one, but one within So Of the
limit of the law on the ascending
scale. No class of the people han
die so much money, or with such
liberality, in our county and town
as do oil operators. They are a
beautiful blessing in our county
and town. Such offense should
have received only such fine as
was necessary to save inviolate
the law. Sometimes legal Of
tense is no moral offense, and in
such case a nominal penalty fills
the spirit Of the law, if statute
fix limits in such case, the mini,
mum one is a burden only tOler.
ated by reason of the prevailing
belief that every good law will
under certain unforeseen circum'
stances become a necessary evil
or burden, to some man. We
hope the Carter Oil company will
not so regard any, however keenly
felt, error committed by a mista'
ken official as to prejudice them
against their numerous friends IN
Elizabeth. We very much dislike
to speak Of official errors, but we
feel that we at least say that the
act of a single official should not
be charged against a whole people
when they have not approved it

THE GHOST FOUND.
A Woman Makes the Remarkable
Discovery.

The ghost (?) that has been
annoying the Thomas Taylor fam
lily, at Brooks Run, near Bellaire,
has been found. He (for it was a
mani was cleverly caught by Mrs.
Dallas Kennedy, who owns the
building.
Mrs. Kennedy is a woman of
nerve, and when the movements
of his ghostship was noised about
she determined to solve the .mys-
terry.
Accordingly, she armed herself
with a revolver, which, by the
way, she knows how to shoot, and
concealed herself in the bushes
near the house. In a short time
the performance began. The in
mates heard the usual unearthly
noise and covered in their beds,
quaking with fear. On the out
side Mrs. Kennedy saw man
walking along the outside of the
building rapping with his hand
and blowing a kind of a screecher.
She slipped up to him quietly,
flashed a dark lantern in his eyes,
and covered him with her gun.
The light revealed Robert (Col-
by Patterson. Mrs. Kennedy at
once called the family and told
them who and what the ghost
was, then went to her home.
Patterson has not been seen
since. Some time during that
night Mrs. Taylor packed up her
belongings and has not been seen
since, either. The husband, Thos.
Taylor, thinks that she has run
away with Patterson, leaving him
and two small children. In sup
port Of this theory, Taylor states
that about three weeks ago, while
working near the run, he found a
letter under a can, written in the
most endearing terms. The word
ing of it caused him to suspicion
his wife, and he started quiet
watch and soon learned the truth.
The general opinion now is that
the woman knew all about the
grost noise, and that it was all a
scheme between she and her clan
destine lover. Mrs. Taylor is
said to be a very handsome wo-
man, and had a clean record I'M
til she moved into the M. E.
church property, at that place,
four months ago.
Patterson is known all over the
southern part of the county. He
was divorced from his wife some
thing over a year ago. He had
not lived with her for several
years before that time. He had
an eye kicked out by mule at
the Kidd coal mines several years
ago; had his throat cut by for
eigner in a saloon brawl, and had
his skull fractured by Harvey
Griffin about a month ago. Last
fan he was the principal witness
against Mrs. Jerome Allen, who
was charged with the murder Of
Bert Flemming.

DISCUSSING CoNTRABAND.
Both British Houses Discuss War Is
sues-Joint Action.

LONDON, August 1.-THE questions of
the Russian volunteer feet steamers and
Russia's views contraband of war were
raised in both the house of commons and
house Of lords today
In the house of commons James Bryce
liberal, urged joint action on the part of
Great Britain and the United States in
dealing with the Russian claims regarding
what is contraband and to insure that raw
cotton and foodstuffs be not treated as con-
traband unless proved that they were in
tended for the use of belligerent forces
Mr. Bryce also drew attention to Russia's
use Of neutral ports.
Gibson Bowles, conservative, suggested
that the Dardanelles question be referred
to The Hague arbitration tribunal. He
characterized the sinking of the steamer
Knight Commander as an outrage, and
said the government must insist on full
re2aration.
lords. questioned Foreign Secretary Lans-
downe on the same subjects. In reply Lord
Lansdowne said the government had al
ready explained its views as to the illegality
of the actions of the st. Petersburg and
Smolensk. Russia, he added, had sent in
structions to desst from similar seizures.
These instructions had reached their desti-
nation, and consequently the foreign Office
assumed that there would be no further
seizures.
In regard to other vessels of the volunteer
fleet passing the Dardanelles in the future
Lord Lansdowne confirmed the Associated
Press dispatches regarding the undertaking
obtained by the porte from Russia that the
vessels shall fly the Russian commercial
flag during the whole voyage, and not
carry ornaments or munitions of war, and
not to be transformed into cruisers.
As to the more serious question" of
Russian views of contraband of war, the
foreign secretary pointed out that the reg
ulations issued by Russia at the beginning
