HAD PLENTY OF GAME.

Deputy State Game Warden f. H.
Merrick, Of Huntington, came here
on Thursday evening last, from Capon
Bridge, having gone from Paw Paw
across to the Bridge, says the Romney
NV. Va Review.
After comforting with Prosecuting
Attorney Zimmerman, Merrick swore
out warrants for the arrest Of ADJOURN
Oats, proprietor of the Romney and
Winchester stage line, on the charge
of having in his possession pheasants,
turkeys and cartridges, with intent TO
transport them beyond the State.
Deputy Sheriff Ruckman went to
Capon Bridge on Friday to serve the
warrants. Mr.. Oats took the sheriff to
his smokehouse, where there were about
three dozen quail nearly adozen pheas-
aats and wild turkey. Mr.. Oates
denies that he intended TO ship them
to points outside the State.
The game was taken into possession
by Sheriff Ruckman and brought TO
Romney. The case is set down for to-
morrow before Justice Maloney. If the
charge is sustained the game will be
confiscated, sold and the proceeds
turned over to the State. 1t not sus-
tanned it will be returned to the owner.

Three autioneers made the welk1n
ring last Saturday crying sales OF real
estate in front of the Court house, at
one time. Mr. J. V. Quinn offered the
property on North Queen street, OF
which Mr.. Ctas. H. Shaffer died seized
1t was bid up to S4025, and postponed
until next Saturday, Mr., J. w. Dodd
had the c. M. Watson farm, near Lit
tie Georgetown, in hand. 1t was also
withdrawn because the bid was DEEM
ed insufficient. Mr.. George keescker
succeeded in selling house and lot To-
Gated on E. Burke street opposite
Green Hill Cemetery.
Mr.. H. H. Emmert, who argued the
case before Judge Nathan Golf, Clarks
burg, last week, was informed by
wire, on Saturday, that the court had
affirmed JudgeDaily's decision render
ed in the Circuit Court here last sum-
mer, that the County Court did not
have tina right to tax United States
bonds, held by the National banks.
Judge Daily, sitting for Judge Faux
ner, decided that the banks had their
capital invested in Government
bonds, which were not subject to tax
alton. from which decision the County
court appealed.
The Chesapeake and Ohio canal trus-
tees have filed petition in the Circuit
Court, at Hagerstown, asking that the
time for operating the canal for the
benefit of the bondholders OF 1874,
which expires jan LIST 1906, be extend
ed, for year ut . time, or until furth-
err order of the court. It tine opinion
that the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
which has had control Of the canal for
some years, is not as anxious to retain
control of the Waterway as it used to
be, since the Western Maryland has
completed its connection to Cumber-
land, and many believe that the sale OF
the canal is not far off.

No Defense Of Canal Msthoc.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE manner
i'm which Panama canal matters nave
been handled by the Administration
under the authority conferred upon
the President by the Spooner act, has
not pleased many members OF Con-
gress in general or the Senate in par
ticular. This displeasure was very
clearly manifested during the extend
ed debate which the Senate today de-
voted to the bill calling for an appro-
prlation of $11 100000 for deficiency
payments.
Not single voice was lifted in the
Senate today in defense of the Admin
istration. Senator Teller delivered the
principal speech and severely crit
cised the methods which have been In
vogue. Senator Scott wv. Va.,) as
serted his belief that great mistake
had been made in selecting the Pana-
ma route. Senator Morgan criticized
canal conditions, but declared his
Willingness to vote the Administra-
ton all the money it asks. Senators
freely declared on the floor their belief
that a sea-level-canal was the best type
and that they do not believe canal OF
this type can be built for less than
half billion dollars.

pr )mised the delegation that the peo-
