Charleston w. Va, Dsc. 16.-By the
awarding Of a writ Of mandamus to K.
M. Senter against the Wyoming coun-
ty court, the supreme court held that
ballots epccrssd by poll clerks in pen
Gil shall be counted. The opinion was
written By Judge Poffenberger and
concnrred in by Judges Robinson ans
Miller. judges Brannon and McWhe r
ter dissented.
The total vote o. ten Of the twelve
precincts In Wyoming county was
thrown out by the county board sitting
as board of can, assers, because the
ballots we're endorsed by the poll clerks
in pencil. The county based its action
on section "a Of chapter of the code as
amended by chapter 81 Of the acts Of
1908, which expressly stimulates ink
endorsement Of ballots. Judge Poffsn-
sergar holds that the clause 10 dirsc-
tory instead Of mandatory. The ruling
will also affect the recount In Raleigh
county and may elect ice Smith sena-
ter.

dividend on the capital stock Of per
cent. 1t is entirely wrong theory
for public roads to he run on a money
making plan, The roads should be-
long to the public and the public
should be charged what is actually
necessary TO keep up the roads. JET
ferson county some years ago threw
open the gates on all the pixies Ia that
county aud all her spleadid roads are
absolutely free to the travelling public.
1t was great mistake tAat the people
OF the sldsn times ever granted to pri-
vats corporation, the right ta build
roads and to charge toll for more than
its maintenance AID that when sos-
nomically administered. The public
reads ought to belong to the public and
We hope the day Is not far distant
when the pixies in this county will all
belong to the county AID al DC free to

aster have passed ovsr the dark river
since our last issue. Making in all.
The jury of inquest on Saturday last
after several lays investigation re-
turned verdict which pretty clearly
puts the olams on the engineer in
charge of the work.
The verdict was as -elows:
First-That the bridge contract and
specification provided that "clsan,
sharp coarse sand be used in the con-
struction OF the piers.
Second-lha the sand used was not
clean, sharp or coarse. yet was APPROX
ed by the engineer in charge.
Thifd--That enough time WAS not
permitted to elapse after the compile
ton of pier No. 10 before the iron work
was placed thereon even had all the
materials been up to specifications;
but the sand being of inferior quality
and below In grade that provided for
in the contract not less than three
weeks to thirty days should have
elapsed before using same for the pur-
pose intended even if the weather con-
ditions had been favorable which was
not the cage. AS to pier No. 10 the
forms were remove IN less thar forty
eight hours after its completion and
the span connecting piers nine aud ten
erected In less than one week after it
was completed.
Fourth Fha; the theory of the
b reken key ring suggested AS cause
oflhe accident ID admitted only az be-
Ing in the remotcst degree a possible
cause II erefor.
The jursrs aforesaid do further say
uon their oaths that in their jud gmsnt
the accident was caused by the CEN
structorr of the concrete piers being
permitted by the engineer to use a
grade Of sand jnferisr te that provided
for in the contract, and in authorizing
or permitting the structural iron work
and traveller to 10 placed upon and in
part supportea by said pier No. 10
while it was yet too green to be used
tor that purpose, as a result Of which
the up stream pedestsl on pier No. 10
gave away under the strain placed
upon 1t precipitating 1t to the ground
the welght that it carried and causing
thereby the death of five men.

Lawyer BIumenthal told Magistrate
Moss that II was absurd to suppose

that Mrs. 6chloss had left the store
