the council. The petition was as fol.

Is hereby respectfully asked TO take I'm.

Upon motion OF Councilman Sommers
committee OF three, including tne city
attorney. was ordered appointed and
Mayor Shields named Councilmen Golf
and Hart and the city attorney AZ the
committee with full power to summon
and examine witnesses Later it wa.
suggested by Councilman Kearns that
Councilman Sommers had made the mo.
ton and ought TO be a member OF tae
committee. Councilman Sommcr- was
accordingly added.
The committee appointed for tais
purpose should act at once.
The city OF Clarksburg should create
the Office OF gas inspector and regulate
the price and quantity OF gas.
The city Of Clatksburg should nav,

The city OF Clarksburg should, ii pos

may be according to law. They may
be because of the alleged death Of one
Of tn executors, but it appars to tae

something in the law taa, would remedy
the matter Ii tnere is not it is nign
time that such a remedy be enacted, for
no man entitled TO share OF an estate

In thi. connection the courts snoulc

WHY THE CAPITAL SHOULD BE

There are many reasons why the
seat of government of the state OF West
Virginia should be removed from Cnar-
lesion to clarksburg. There is but one
reason why IT should remain where i:
is and that one is simply because the
buildings and paraphernalia OF tnt
states seat Of government are in Char.
lesion, erected, installed, purchased and
paid for.
Tne removal OF the capital from
Charleston TO Clarksburg would benefit
the state government itself greatly. The
chief benefits would b. in its central 10.

PEACE FOR n. ". ROADS
Report That agreement Has Been

An adjustment of the relations among the prin-
cpal railroad interests in the Northwest has just
been effected, it is said good authority, a
result of which the long feared possibility of the
breaking out of war of rate reprisas between the

reached the outcome of conferences held on
Tuesday and yesterday, and that it is in form
more binding than the old time "gentlemen's agree

is reason believe that any important changes
of ownership will any material alterations
be made in the railroad map. In short, the proba-

to follow likely to take the form of in
