HUGHES TO WAR ON KELSEY.
Report OF Special Commission in
New York Insurance Gases.

Albany, n y, Feb. Gov. Hughes
will again ask the State senate to remove
State Superintendent Of Insurance Otto
Kelsey from Office This is fully evil
denced by the report Of Matthew G.
Fleming, the special commissioner ap-
pointed last fall to investigate and report
upon the administration of the State in
surance department By Mr. Kelsey. Mr..
Fleming acted as assistant counsel to
Mr. Hughes I'm the Armstrong insurance
investigation
The State senate last winter, by vote
Of z 10 "A. refused 10 remove Mr.. Kel-
sey at Gov Hughes request. This ac-
tion was taken by the senate after q
thorough investigation by the judiciary
committee.
In his report which Gov Hughes has
made public. Mr. Fleming does not come
right out and recommend Mr. Kelsey s
removal IJ is apparently written with
the view Of leaving 20 Gov. Hughes the
work Of framing conclusions in the mes
sage to the senate, which will accompany
the report.
To s..h it up i'm a few words. Mr. Flem-
ing thinks Mr.. Kelsey should be removed
because he has not reorganized the in
surance department force. either at Al
bany OF New York, with a view Of rem
edying the defects in the administration
in the department as shown by the Arm
strong investigation. Mr. Fleming says
Mr. Kelseys failure to do this seems
chiefly due To the confidence and trust
which are so characteristic Of him

Testimony To-day.

Testimony To-day.
All sorts of experts and others who arc
nearly experts on city transportation
questions win appear before the House
District Committee this morning. when
that body begins its consideration of two
amendments affecting street railway
transfers Of universal nature.

J. J. Morrow, appear and give testimony.
but it is expected that street railway
officials will also appear before the COM
mittce 20 aid Il I'm solving the biggest
city transportation problem with which
It has been confronted for some time.
Aside from the consideration OF the
universal transfer scheme which as has
been shown. involved universal transfers
for a scent cash fare. the committee
win consider the Union station rackage
bill. The solution of this latter phase Of
the present street railway situation in
the District is believed 10 be much more
difficult than any solution of the transfer
giving.
The hearings. so far as the testimony Of
the various experts is concerned, will not
be in executive session. il is understood, I,
but the committee will. after each bit
Of testimony is given. retire into eXecu-
tive session for consideration Of that tes-

must be fully prepared in a few days,
the committee feels that il must devote

Churchville Notes.

Churchville, June Miss Pattie
Brag, who has been a guest of Miss
Lucie Blair, has gone to visit friends
at Mt. Sidney.
Mrs. Mamie Allen of Berkeley
Springs, w. Va, with her little daugh-
ter, is spending beneficial vacation
with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. w. J.
Burton.
Rob Blair, who graduated in medi-
cine recently at the Richmond Medical
College, is now enjoying much need
ed rest at his home here.
The recent heavy rains have done
considerable damage to farms adjacent
to creeks and rivers. Notwithstanding
all the washOuts and floods, the coun-
try presents a very tlourishing prospect
at present.
Mr.. Salaz is now occupying the COM
Portable parsonage of the U. b. church
and preaching to his flock every two
weeks.
We are glad to note that we have no
serious illness in our midst at this
time.
Frank Bear, who has just finished a
course in embalming in New York, is
now ready to take charge as funeral
director of the public's requirement.
Will T. Bear has accepted position
in Bedford City, and will be absent
indefinitely.
Our merchants are displaying full
stocks of new goods at reasonable prices.
The entertainment under the man.
agement of Miss Butcher and Miss Blair
resulted in net receipt of over $40 and
was greatly enjoyed by those present,
although it was greatly handicapped
by continued rains and high water.
This property here purchased for a
Methodist parsonage is yet vacant, and
will most probably be occupied by
some one else.
Mrs. Kate Hanger, who has just re-
turned from visiting her son, Shuey
Hanger, Esq, in Portsmouth, spent a
day last week with her sister, Mrs.

Miss Blanche Harvey of Valley
