a special and additional fee TO shorten

edged. Nh. Aler placed the facts before
the directors ofsthe Washington and
Berkeley Bridge Company so they
might act intelligently. Mr.. Aler holds
an option on the Nicholas Lemen

positively that it will be purchased
and improved oy fine public park,
and laid or in town Tots; also that a
large manufacturing plant will be lc-

Blew Himself Up

One of the most remarkable suicides
on record is that of Lee Antonio, an
Italian, W no ended his life IN Fayette
county, al Kaymoor, No /, late Tues,
day evening, by seating himself on IA
sticks Of yellow dynamite and touch
ing a match to one Of the fuses.
\ number Of the Italians fellow
workmen saw him as he was about TO
commit his rash act, butiwere too far
away TO stop hun. When the dyna-
mite exploded the body Of the unfor-
tuna.e msn was blown high into tie
heavens and the arrangements were scat
tered SO that only small portion was
gathered together for burial The eX-
plosion W as so terrific that it was heard
for many miles and the earth in the
immediate vicity trembly perceptibly.
Antonio was single and lived on the
hill above Kaymoor, near Fayette-
Vile. He had not been in America
long and could only speak English a
little. 1t is believed that he was PIN
ing for his old home, possibly Cor q
sweetheart he had left there and that
this was the reason which prompted
him to end his life.

DEMOCRACY WINS
tuesdays ELECTION BROUGHT SOME
SURPRISES
Maryland True TO Her Colors.
9'o-r To4y,--7,.- L

Tom JOHNSON Is IT.
The election on Tuesday brought
on some real surprises. The Democr rats
got shock in Kentucky where they
lost their state ticket by about I4,0O0
and probably the legislature upon
which Governor Beckham depends for
election TO the U. S. Senate. On
the other hand the Republican got
shock in New Jersey where they came
so close to losing the state that it was
in doubt until the official returns
came in.
In Maryland the Democracy wen a
glorious victory. They elected thei en-
tire ate ticket by about 10000. In
New York the Tammany ticket Was
elected over the Hearst-Rspubliean al
lia1ce by near $4,000.
There was no election, not even a
state election, that aroused so much in
tirest as the lily election in Cleveland
Ohio, Tom Johnson, the present mayor,
was opposed by Theodore Burton, lone
OF RooseVelts special favorites, a
mem Dor of Congress, who was pushed
into the fight against johnson by the
President and given all the help in the
power of the National administration.
The attitude of Mr.. Roosevelt in this
contest was what made the general
public take so much interest in it. 1t
was looked upon as Roos evelt personal
fight and the administration came out
in badly battered condition. Mr..
Johnson's majority was 9,313 while n.
ID. Baker was about L, 900. There was
no little interest here in this election
because of Mr.. Baker being a Martins
burg man and his many friends here
extend congratulation to him over
his splendid victory.

EIkins says Country Needs More None,

EIkizs says Ccuntry Needs More Money
The following dispatch 1comes from
Washington, D. G. quoting Senator
Stephen b. EIkins and reads as fol-
lows:
"What the country needs is m ore
money, and it is lay opinion that Con-
gress will, at its next meeting, take up
the subject Seriously" said senator Ill
kins, of West Virginia to-day. What
the result will be is hard to specula te
on.
Il shall introduce my bill of: the last
last congress, which provided that all
government money beyond AN actual
working balance snail be deposited in
the banks as soon as collected. This
Will result in making available for
business uses all the money we now
have, and will increase considerably
the amount in the channels of trade.
This would give measure OF relief
without opening the question Of new
Kind of currency
