WILL PAY ABOUT so PER CENT.
Stock OF Hardware of Hinebaugh Q
Edwards Sold for IS FER cent.

BY an order passed in the United
States Court at Baltimore one day re-
Gently and signed by Judge Morris
the stock of hardware in the Hine-
oaugh & Edwards store, which firm
made an assignment few weeks ago
and later declared bankrupts upon
petition fled IN Judge Morris court
by Messrs. Renninger & Offutt, Oak
land attorneys. was sold to the Bin
dley Hardware Company:of Pittsburg
for 70 per cent. of its value.
The Pittsburg firm was one of the
heaviest creditors of the local concern
and held bill OF sale upon the stock
OF goods but by reason of the matter
going into bankrupt court the bill of
sale was rendered null and void. All
the creditors thus having the same
standing aud will share equally in
the proceeds of the sale.
1t is estimated that by making the
sale upon the basis of IS cents upon
the dollar the creditors will receive
sixty per cent. on their claims.

COL. DAVIS DEFEATED
Mr.. JAMES s. LAKIN
III the Special Election Held In West
Virginia Tuesday for Congress
BY A MAJORITY OF ABOUT 1000.
Lack of Interest on Part of the Repub=
Iicans Was the Prime CauSe-An
Exceedingly Light Vote Was
POIled.

Mr.. James S. Lakin, OF Terra Alta,
formerly of Oakland, who ran for
Congress against Col. Thomas b.
Davis, of Keyser, to fill the unexpir-
ed term of Judge Dayton, was defect
ed at the special election held on
Tuesday of this week by a majority
of about one thousand votes.
A combination of circumstances
brought about Mr.. Lakin's defeat,
prime among them being the lack of
interest displayed by the Republican
voters in failing to go to the polls.
Nothing in Mr. Lakin's personality
contributed in the least to his defeat.
In his home town, Terra Alta, where
nearly 500 ballots were cast, he re-
ceived the entire number with the
exception of SO, these going to his
opponent.
Preston county gave him a majori-
ty of 1900; Monongalia 1000; Taylor
barely 300, while Barbour, the home
of Judge DAYTON, and normally Re-
publican by a good majority, gave
Col. DAVIS majority of nearly one
hundred.
