JUDGE WESLEY MAY HAVE ROUGH
SAILING BEFORE THE UNITED
STATES SENATE

q
WASHINGTON, D. - c., Nov. IA
Among the recess nominations to be
confirmed by the Senate at the coming
session is that OF former Governor
George w. Atkinson, of West Virginia.
spril. 18th last he. was appointed to a
vacancy on the Court of Claims in this
city, left by the death Of Judge Law
renee Weldon. There is likely to be a
Lretty stiff fight against his confirma-
ton, though 1t is not definitely known
whether or not the two West Virginia
Senators will oppose 1t or not
1t is related that Governor Atkinson,
in December, 1901, when West yir-
ginia was divided into two judicial dis
tricts, was promised appointment as
JUICE of the southern district of the
State. AS soon as It became generally
known that the judgeship was to be
given to Governor Atkinson, 20 great

pointment and opposition from the en-
tire bar of West Virginia that Presi'
dent Mckinley paused in his first In
tention. and is said to have told Sena-
tor Scott that he could not appoint
him. 1t was represented to the Presi-
dent that the appointment would pro-
woke unpleasant controversy, because
the prospective appointee was deficient
il: the legal knowledge and training
requisite for the position. President
Mckinley finally decided that the
idea of making such an appoint

impression, so he concluded to set

TELLS OF THE WORK ACCOMPLISHED

Only those who have seen the work
done on the Hickman run branch can
realize what is taking place on the
east side of the river. For several
weeks large force of men has been
doing faithful work in building the
line from the F.. NJ. and P. bridge to
the Fairmont Steel Company's mill
and the job is nearer completion
than most Fairmonters realize. 1t
is a much greater undertaking also
than most of our citizens know
about.
To begin with, the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company had to build
almost a mile of road from point
below the f. M. and P. bridge to the
end of the switch-back some distance
above the -mouth.-of, Hickman's run.
A long trestle OF considerable height
had to be built, the piers alone at the
run costing thousand dollars each.

would not discuss the suggestion.
