Shall Senator Hlkins Resigns

Colonel John T. McGraw, of Graf
ton, Democratic leader in West Vir-
ginia, member of the national COM
mittee, and possible candidate for the
Senate. has publicly advised Senator
Elkins to resign. In an interview
Colonel MoGraw made statements
which are most sensational, in view OF
the railroad battle now in progress at
Washington and in West Virginia.
Colonel McGraw said if Senator Ell
kins had a proper conception of his
position with regard to affairs in his
own State he would resign within an
hour and demand of the people vindi-
cation. if such thing could be had.
He said Senator Elkins had not only
been ignored by the railroad commit
tee, of which he is chairman, but the
Republican Governor of his State and
other Republican leaders had been
compelled to invoke the aid of cham.
pion from the very shadow Of Fort
Sumpter.
More than this, Colonel McGraw
charged Senator Elkins with willful
violation of his implied duties to his
party and constituents in disregard
ing the instructions Of Republican
Legislature relative to legislation
deemed by that body TO be for the
welfare of the people. He said it was
impossible for him to conceive how
Senator Elkins can retain the sena-
torial toga minute in view of the re-
proach cast upon him by Governor
Dawson and later developments in the
Cummins controversy.
Colonel McGraw pointed out the
course of the Hepburn bill through
the railroad committee, Governor
Cummins' arraignment Of Senator Ell
kins and the latter's alleged ignoring
OF the instructions of the Legislature
as further ground for his belief that
the resignation should be made. The
interview has created considerable
sensation in West Virginia.

NOTES FROM NEARBY.

Mr.. Samuel Smith, of Frederick
cou .ty. Va. and Miss Angie Ovens,
of Charles Town, were married last
Wednesday at the home of the bride.
Col. Edward M. Mobley, we'll
known citizen of Hagerstown and a
veteran of the Civil War. died yester'
day. He was prominent G. A. K.

]. W. Morgan, proprietor of the big
duck ranch at Riverton, Va, has
marketed IL 900 young ducks since
the first of January, and has 10000
ducklings now on hand. He expects
to market more than 10000 ducks
this year.
The county court Of Berkeley coun-
ty on Monday granted license to
twenty liquor saloons in Martinsbarg.
The Anti-Saloon League made a
strong fight against the saloons, but
the court felt that it could not refuse
license at this time, as all had been
recommended by the city council Of
Martinsburg.
The Martinsburg Statesman Gays
that Lee NJ Bender has purchased
from James Miller the Herring place
Just east of that town, on the emf
nence near Green Hill Cemetery, and
announces it as his intention to lay
out cemetery thereon. He has ar.
ranged to have a landscape artist lay
out the grounds over and surrounding
the eminence where the mansion now
stands. to have the walks and drives
land of and the shrubbery planted in
a way that will make it a beautiful
spot.
The Standard Lime and Stone
Company started two new patent
kilns to burning lime at its Millville
quarries on Monday. Lime burning
is new feature of the developments
at that point. By using patent kilns
the company is enabled to draw lime
without interfering with the burning
process. They render lime burning a
continuous performance. After be-
ing drawn from the kilns, the lime is
run through crusher, Stacked and
put in bags or barrels for shipment.
The Stacked lime is intended for ex.
port. Wood is being used in reduc-
ing the stone to lime, and is brought
from Morgan and Hampshire coun-
ties on the railroad.-AdUocote.
An engineering corps, supposed to
be in the service of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company, has made
the initial survey for railroad from
Melville station to the ore deposits
on the Maltby farm near Manuinga
Ferry. The route surveyed crosses
the river at Melville, and follows the
course of the river on the eastern bank
from Keys Ferry to the terminus near
Manning's. Stakes with marks cur
ious to the initiated were left at in
tervals along the route by the survey
ing party. No intimation has been
given as to the object of the survey,
but it is inferred that the development
of the ore wealth on the Maltby far m
has some connection with the project.

The Maryland Legislature at the
session which ended Monday night
passed two measures to provide for
cheaper railroad fares. One act re-
quires railroads to keep on sale at all
stations mileage books that shall be
sold at $40 for 500 miles and 500 for
1000 miles, good for any member OF
the family of the purchaser. The
railroad lawyers declare that this bill
is unconstitutional. The second act
is one that limits the amount that
may be charged for railroad fare
within the State of Maryland to two
cents a mile.
Ohio, Maryland and Virginia will
now have two-cent fares unless the
courts render the acts of the legisla-
lures invalid. We want to see West
Virginia in the procession, too.
