SHOR I $1,000.

Washington Oct. a Leaders Of
West Virginia Republicans were in
anxious conference here today. They
have scaled down their estimates of
the amount it will take to carry the
State to STAY, 900. Toward this Chair
man Cortelyou has contributed $780,
900, and enough is in sight to bring
the total up to 500 900, leaving de-
felt of S5I 900. This sum the confe-
rees could not discover in any pock-
cts to which they are likely to have
access
The conferees were Senators Elkins
and Scott, w. M. o. Dawson, candi-
date tor Governor; Elliott Northcott,
State Chairman c. w. Swisher and
United States Fish Commissioner G..
NJ. Bowers. Senator Scott actuall y
wept much of the time because there
is grave danger that he will lose the
legislature and thereby 10 e his seat
a result which he feels certain would
not cause Senator Elkins to wear
crepe.
The stringency in West Viz
ginia results from the corporation
taxation plans OF Dawson, the candi-
date for Governor. The big, untaxed
corporations. especially the Standard
Oil Company are not anxious to have
him elected, lest he carry his plans
into execution,
The great manufacturing companies
of Pittsburg have contributed $780,
600 to the Republican National cam
paign fund, through Senator Knox,
but refused to give more.

NEGRO ROUGH RIDERS

A despatch from Clarksburg, w.
a., under date of September 29th
gives the following information as to
the doings of some of Teddy Roose-
Welt colored admirers.
The great Republican rally here
that had been advertised for some
time developed some unexpected in
cidents tonight MrW M. o. Dawson
Secretary Of State and Republican
candidate for Governor, and Senator
Stephen B. Elkins were due to ar
rive here from Parkersburg at $50
o clock, but it uas $50 when they
came. The speaking was to have COM
menced at eight o clock. and at 40
the negro Rough Riders Club, about
200 strong, left its headquarters. At
first it was comparatively orderly. but
as the speakers did not arrive THE club
developed into almost mob of half
drunken negroes, who paraded the
streets headed by a drum corps of
colored men, aud crowded everyone
aside and insulted many ladies'. The
affair acted as a boomerang to the Re-
publicars, who have been trying to
hold in the negro club, but it insisted
upon coming out. and did SO in full
force. No white cub made its ap-
pearance.
Dawson and Elkins were we'll re-
ceived by those present, but the negro
episode killed any good effect the
meeting would have had, and many
staunch Republicans openly express
ed themselves disguised with the
actions of this black mob, as they
termed it, and did not enter the meet
ing.

HOME AGAIN.

Mr.. Geo. w. Martin. General Man
agerof the Cum berland Valley rail
road was here on Tuesday attending
the funeral of Mr.. r. S, Eichelberger.
This was his first trip here since his
return from Europe where he recently
made visit of several weeks. He
says he enjoyed the trip on the water
but cares nothing for the country he
visited and was glad to get back to
his native land. He visited England,
Scotland and Ireland. Mr.. Martin, who
is railroad man OF the highest or
der, says he was not at all favorably
impressed with the railroad service in
that country, they have nothing of the
luxury we have here in railroad trav-
ell, that the equipment is light and in
the track can be kept in
better condition and the rate of speed
is somewhat greater than here es =
pecially for long distances but the
miserable compartment cars without
the comforts in ordinary cars here are
no comparison with modern Ameri-
can equipment. Passengers travel first
second or third class. Those travelling
first class have the same comforts
ordinary day coaches furnish in Am
erica. Second ard third class have
t-w comforts On most roads you take
your compartment whittier you have
a ticket or not and are not asked for a
ticket or money until you get out
and if you have no tic ket or money
you are arrested and imprisoned.

HIT BY A TRAIN.
Two Illinois Central Section Men
Have Marrow Escape.


Special to Times Republican.
Charles City, Nov. Grounding a
sharp curve. while riding on hand car
about dusk Monday night, two men,
section employees of the Illinois Cen
trail at this place, were run into by the
southbound passenger and but for I'M
usual good fortune would have been
hurled into mid air and doubtless badly
mangled.
The men had been out on their terri
tory all day working on the track,
which the inspection marked Saturday
night when 1t made the trip to Albert
Lea They worked until sun down and
as 1t was ~etting dark, they started to
come back to this place. Just north
Of this city there is a sharp curve and
around this they sped unaware of the
impending danger. The first they
knew that an engine was approaching
was seeing the fash of the headlight
on the embankment. Realizing their
danger, they both jumped and had not
landed on the side of the track of the
right of-way before the engine whiz-
sing past hurled the handcar hum
dred feet In the air. 1t dropped in
smithereens scattered over the track.
Aside from the smashed handcar, no
damage was done. The train was
stopped and Brakeman crittenden and
Conductor Barr hurried back expect
Ing to find the mangled remains of
section man, but to their delight found
the men on the side OF the track rest
Ing az tho nothing had happened.
The train brought the men to this city
and left here for Waterloo about
half hour late.
