MONEY DISTRIBUTED
RAILROAD TAXES FOR co Mites,
DISTRICTS AND CITIES.
Money From Corporations Put Into
Circulation in Every Part Of the
state-McDoweli Gets Most.

Vast sums Of money have been dis
trlbuted among the various counties,
districts and municipalities during the
past few days by the state treasurer
on warrants issued by the auditor.
This money was collected as taxes
from the railroads and other public
service corporations and is distributed
among the. political subdivisions ac-
cording to the amount of such proper
ty therein located
The total amount so far distributed
out of the state fund is $1,155. 1885.
There remains in the treasury to be
distributed something like $500. 900.
Chief Clerk Haddox, of the treasurer's
office, stated that the above named
item exceeds about 100000, the rec
ord OF any previous year The increase,
ne says, is due to the higher valuations
on this class of property.

largest amount, getting for county and
district purposes approximately STA
600. Other counties viii receive the
following amounts: Kanawha. s61.-
900; Mingo, $40 coo; Cabell, $4,000.

AT JAMESTOWN.
Things Are Assuming Proper shase
For the Big Exposition.

Norfolk, Va, April 6.-Scenes are
being enacted these days in the shan
ing up of the grounds at the James
town exposition that are little short
OF magic. With the opening of the
great fair less than three weeks off.
the enormous force of workmen. rep-
resenting every craft, is working like
beavers but with steady and well-di-
rected purpose to the end of making
the exposition present complete ap-
pearance before the opening day.
AT present the unknown visitor
views the seeming chaos with dubious
thoughts as to the ability of the ex-
position management to finish the ply
steal part of the exposition on time.
But from now on the transformation
OF the grounds will be marvellous.
Tons of debris, scores of unsightly
shanties, temporary bridges, and muir
ky pools that now disfgure the beau
tiful main picture are soon to disap-
pear, and in their place there will be
greensward, flowing beds, spacious
walks and brightly colored booths.
The management has been handicap.
ped from the start by the lack of
adequate transportation and terminal
facilities. Building material was held
up in the early stages of the construc-
ton work and through the same cause
delay is now being experience in hand
ling and placing the exhibits that are
arriving in vast number Heroic eff
forts are being made to remedy the
matter and it is hoped to overcome all
obstacles within a few days
The exhibition palaces are practic-
ally complete and the same may be
said of the majority of the state build
ings and smaller structures that adorn
the grounds Buildings that a week
ago were surrounded by scaffoldings
and a maze of rude planks, giving
a most unfinished appearance, are rap
idly being stripped of these reminders
of the period of construction.
