Berkeley Springs, Feb. 7.--Consider-
able interest has been aroused in this
place during the past few days over
The attempt OF j. McCarty Duckwall
TO tie MP practically all the sand de-
posits south Of Berkeley Spring.. II is

leases for Attorney 4. B. Noll' Of
Martinsburg and that the iessees bind
themselves to construct railroad 20
the sand deposits, which are about
eight miles south of hers. II = clsimed
that this would tie up the valuable
slnd land in that locality.

Governor Dawson has written a let
ter to Senator Tillman, complaining
OF the conditions existing in the coal
development OF this state, arising from
the policy of the railroads in with
holding transportation from independ-
emit coal operators, and supplying it to
companies in which they are interest
ed, either directly or indirectly. He
says there is law bearing on the sub
Jeet, but II is insdquate aud we have
no means of enforcing 1t. The COVER
nor goes on 10 say that he has been
trying, since 1881, e get Railroad
commission In West Virginia hut the
railroad lobby would never let us nave
1t, and that q state Of affairs exists
that is disgrace 10 the State. rhls les
ter was read in the senate, by Senator
1lilman, and created a considerable
sensation. Senator EIkins, on the other
hand. said eve have law in this
state pr 'yiding remedy for the outra-
geous treatment OF saippers by the
railroads" Mr., Elkins ought to k now,
for he has lately been subjected 10 AN
attempt to discipline, by law, his rail-
road for courageous treatment of n
competing shipper, but 80 far as we
are informed the remedy did not work
Governor Dawson letter made 1t quite
evident that the state of West Vir-
ginia is in the jaws of the trusts. 1t Is
significant fact that Governor Daw-
son did not apply TO either senator
Elkins, or Senator Scott, 20 get rem
edy, but sought relief through a rep
resentative OF another state. He knows
full well that both Of the WestVirginia
senators are 'particeps eriminis" with
the railroads and other corporations,
not only NTH cir courageous treat
ment of shippers but of the people
generally.
