RAILROAD FEVER
The Citizens of HarrisvilIc Arc Talk
Ing About n New
Railroad.

The citizens of Harrisville recent
ly subscribed fifty thousand dollars
toward new railroad from Harris
vile to some point on the b. & o.
A committee of five was appointed
by the citizens, composed of the fol-
lowing gentlemen: Messrs. Patten.
Fisher, Wilson Lawrence and Prib-
BILE.
This week Messrs. shaffer and Nc.
Gregor, of the c. & X. Railway com
pany, met the committee by appoiat-
ment in the court house at Harris
vile. The meeting was held behind
closed doors and lasted two hours.
1t is generally supposed that Mr..
shaffer submitted a proposition to
bring the c. & X. into Harfisville.
Thursday of this week the commit
tee made a reconnaissance for two
lines-one to connect with the B. &
o. at Cairo. and the other at Corn
wallis.
Railroad fever is at a high tenn
perature and there are indications
that there will be- something doing.

ARMY DEsERTER
IS UNDER ARREST
Fred Kupfner Put in Jail After
Trainping Back Here
From Washington.

Shortly after his return to Clarks-
burg after an absence of a year or
more, Fred Kupfner, a young man,
was arrested and placed in jail as a
deserter from the United States Army.
He was taken into custody on Pike
street Friday evening by Lieutenant
of Police Nicholas Whyte and Police
man McCloud. The arrest was made
on information sent to the local po-
lice from the state of Washington last
July when it is said that Kupfner de-
serted. 1t appears that Fred got
tired of army life in that state and
took French leave since which time
he had been beating his way back to
CIarksburg. He arrived here only a
day or so ago. Notice of Kupfner's
arrest has been sent to the proper au-
thorities and arrangements Will be
made to have him taken back to an
army post by a member of the local
police force.

was gone into thoroughly, but no

TO AMEND THE CONSTITUTION.
Sentiment in the Nation Said to Be
Slowly CrYstaIlizinq.

There is slowly crystallinzing a SEN
timent in favor of a convention to be
held to amend the constitution of the
United States. The sentiment is not
restricted to any one particular local
ity, but it seems is taking root pretty
generally. 1t is the consensus of opin-
ion in these circles that the highly de-
yeloped and complex civilization of the
country presents problems that de-
erve the attention of the mater minds
f the nation at this time.
The list of topics which has formed
he basis of suggested constitutional
amendments in the past need not be
rehearsed here in detail. 1t is a long
DIST and includes many topics which
would not be likely to receive serious
consideration.
Some of the most important matters
which would come before the con-
vention. however, would be as fol-
lows:
Enlarging the presidential term to
six years and making the president
ineligible for reelection.
Uniform marriage and divorce laws
throughout the union.
Election of United States senators
by the direct vote of the people.
Female suffrage.
Providing for the immediate assem-
bling of congress after election
Changing the date of Inauguration
day.
Authorizing the president to veto
single items in appropriation bills.
Restricting the veto power of the
president so that it will be less diff
cult for congress to pass any measure
over his veto.
To decline more clearly the jurisdic-
ton of the courts in their relation to
the legislative branch of the govern
ment.
These are a few of the topics which
have been suggested as affording
reason why a constitutional conven-
ton should be called. Many others
would doubtless be considered.

SWINDLE IN A GAMBLE.
Arrest in Washington of "Get Rich
Quick" Men.

Washington, Jan. 16-What is
charged by the police to be a scheme
to defraud a Washington physician
out Of $4,000 led to the arrest of Frank
F. Romans of Paris, France, and Da-
vid r. Tanner, alias Townsend of
White Plains, N. Y, on the charge of
conspiracy. The men were arrested
after Thomas j. Kemp of this city had
told the police that Tanner had made
a proposition to enter a deal to put
a New York gambling house out of
business.
DR.. Kemp declares the men assured
him that by investing $4,000 he could
easily win from 100000 to 100000
within one week. The get rich quick"
scheme, according to DR.. Kemp's re-
port to the police, was that DR.. Kemp
was to pay $4,000 and Tanner, who
claimed to be manager of the gamb-
ling house, was to "tip Romans and
the physician off on the run of the
cards in a faro game"
