Hours a Day.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company has given the people en-
ployed by that company substantial
raise In wages. The committee OF
the B. r. T. returned last night
from Baltimore and were able to
bring back this news with them. The
raise on the NJ. R. division and on
the West Virginia and Pittsburg d.
vision is ten per cent. Along with
the raise the length of the working
day has been reduced two hours.
The day is now ten hours instead OF
twelve hours. as heretofore, except
on passenger trains, which is still
twelve hours.
This will make big difference
for the men in making overtime. The
overtime now will start two hours
earlier than formerly. The men are
glad of the raise and express them
selves as generally satisfied.
On the Redwood division an in
crease Of twenty cents on both local
and through trains has been given

Mr.. GR0UNDHOG|
SAW SHADOW
scampers Back Into Hole to Await
Six More Weeks of VIM
ter Weather.
M. Ground HOE settled the weatt

Mr.. Ground Hog settled the wealth
er forecase for the next six weeks to-
day, prognostications of the weather
bureau and the Oldest inhabitant
Notwithstanding. He crawled out of
his hole up on Pinnickinnick. forag-
ed around for an hour or two, saw
his shadow cast by the suns rays on
the ground and in fright scampered
back again.
Mr.. G. Hog is the most popular
and generally credited weather prog
nosticator the world has ever known.
He has Hicks, Foster and the govern
ment weather bureau beaten to a
pulp. What they say is guesswork,
but what Mr.. G. Hog says goes. So
great is the confidence reposed in
Mr.. Hog that If he decides there shalr
be six more weeks OF winter, and
bright sunshine and balmy breezes
come, most people will continue to
shiver and wear heavy clothing rath-
er than to discredit Mr.. Hog.
Tradition teaches that the little
animal awakens from his winter
snooze on February 2 and then pro-
ceeds to butt into the affairs Of the
outside world. He keeps his
weather eye open. and II he chances
to Sc ehis shadow. he decides that
the awakening is but an interruption
to his slumber. and he returns for
another six weeks nap. No weather
man would dare to trot out spring
while G. Hop sleeps. hence 1t follows
that we will have six weeks more Of
winter weather as the result of his
expedition this morning.

AFFRAY
HAS A MYSTERY
Claim Is Made There Was No Oil
Poured ON Bane Boarding
House at smithaeld.

A small spot on the door OF the
room OF the dining room OF the Bane
hotel appears to have been the real
cause OF the tragedy at smithheld,
when three men we're shot and one
man Jailed A well authenticated
report comes from that town that
some one in the dining room rushed
out and declared drop of oil had
fallen from the ceiling on his hat.
This excited the crowd and they
chased The man now under arrest,
charged with arson and attempted
murder
Some believe the fellow entirely
innocent Of any intention OF setting
ERE to the building. They also as
sert that the spot ON the floor look
ed as IL II were made by splttle. They
are not Inclined to believe the fell
low guilty of any wrong doing until
he defended himself. when chased,
by which defense he sot the Hide
brand brothers and Constable G. W.
Edgell. They are OF the opinion
that the man accused is insane. Moth.
ing is known of him. except that he
was an entire stranger In smithaeld
until last Saturday. He declines to
say any thing about himself or how
he came to be at smithfield.
Some rather sensational develop.
ments are expected in the case. II the
Hildebrands recover from their In
juris. Until their fate Is fully de-
termined, 1t is not likely any revela-
tions will be made. though there is
many whisperings as to the affair.
and. there Is believed TO be- some In
side information that will give the
affair a higiy sensational color.

CHARLESTON, Feb. q Senator
Ashburn wanted senate bill No. l42
referred to the railroad committee.
He said that several bills properly
belonged to this COMMITTEES OF which
he is chairman, had ben referred to
the judiciary and mining committees.
He said his committee had under
consideration the bill limiting hours
of railroad telegraphers to 8 hours,
but that bill to the same effect pass
ed by the house had been referred
to the committee on labor. Senator
Ashburn moved that senate bill No.
142 be referred to the railroad com.
mittee.
Senator Foreman said the house
bill on railroad telegraphers had q
slip Of paper attached on which was
written request that 1t go to the
labor committee, The slip was not
put there by the friends of the bill.
Senator Ashburn demanded the
ayes and noes on the motion to refer
to the railroad committee. On the
roll call most of the senators stated
their position. Several of them took
occasion to declare they favor two
cent fare bill.
Senator Thorn made vigorous
speech. He said there is a stigma
in the minds of the people as to the
senate, that they have believed the
railroads and the Standard OIL hold
us. Il say this is not the case" he
continued. The two-cent rate bill
is necessity and we have no assur.
ance that unless we put some law or
the statute books that the railroads
will not again require a deposit fol
mileage books"
Senator Thorn said some warn
things about the railroads. that the,
are synonymous with Standard OIL
that when they can not beat the PEG
pie one way they do another. H.
said no man has higher regard TO
Senator Henry G. Davis, but when h,

WILL Be CLERK
is the Growing Conviction and the
Office Is More Than Likely
To BE Here.

While nothing definite Ia known al
10 the intention OF Judge Nathan
Cor Of the United States Circuit,
court relative to the appointment OF
successor to the late Clerk L. B.
Delicker, and will not be for several
days, yet there is a very strong con-
viction that some Clarksburg man
will be the appointee.
Judge Con loves his native city
and he doubtless recognizes the fact
that clarksbnrg is the most central
and suitable point in the State for
the ONCE of the clerk of his court.
With this knowledge he may feel 1t
a duty to the people Of West vir-
Einia, who idolize him to act In the
matter SO as to have the ONCE here
hereafter.
In connection with the appoint
ment It b scarcely probable H. NJ.
o'Bleness. of Parkersburg, will get
the appointment, as he is nephew
Of Judge Con. who makes the ap-
pcintment. and there is federal
statute prohibiting judges from ap-
pointing near relatives.
II u stated the new clerk. whoever
he may be. win be privileged to ap-
point his own deputies. and this may
result in an entire change in the Of
Ace and Its ofncias.
In the event of the removal of the
lcfice to clarksburg. which seems as.
sured, the district court will doubt
less have deputy at Parkersburg.
The change too will most likely re-
suit in the removal OF the office of
the district attorney and United
States marshal to this city. These
are all changes TO be. desired as they
are quite important to any city.
