M. o. Dawson arrived last evening
and Joined the directors, all Of whom
are present at the meeting. Routine
business only was considered yester-
day, though it is unosrstood there was
discussed in a way the vacancy in the
wardenship Of the institution, caused
by the death of Warden Haddox. No
action was taken and it is probable
none will be taken at this meeting.
The present session will likely end to-
day.
AS a result Of the special session of
the Legislature and other matters of
State importance, Governor Dawson
has been prevented for the past sew
eral weeks from visiting the State in
stituttons and as a result is making a
careful inspection of the institution.
This morning he came to Wheeling.

JASPER ROBINSON HELD UP BY
FOUR HIGHWAYMEN AND
RELIEVED oE Se4.

CLARKsBURG March 1s.-Jasper
Robinson, of Bridgeport, was held W
and robbed last night at 10 o'clock
near the East End tower, of S64 by
four highwaymen, who have SO far
escaped capture.
Robinson was walking down the
track and met the men. who were
coming west. They approached him
and asked Tor assistance. Meeting
with stern refusal one OF them
knocked him down and he was carried
from the railroad to a steep bank and
his pockets rifled. After committing
the crime they hurried towards the
Tin Plate mill.
The night operator in the tower
seeing the affair Immediately notified
the police station and four men were
delegated to run down the cuIprlts.
Two men went to the depot and two
towards the East End.
After notifying the police station
the operator noticed four men passing
the tower in single file. This gave
the officers clue and they were sta
toned to arrest them as they arrived.
So far no arrests have been made and
it appears that the highwaymen have
escaped.

Much has already been made Of the
proposed vote on question the re-
suit o. which amounts to naught. We
do not propose to engage in what must
necessarily be an unseemly scramble
for votes on the license question when
the result thereof, whatever 1t may be-
has no part in the control Of the grant.

and the Charter Of Fairmont, the right
to grant or refuse license Is vested

the subject, but will refrain from vot-

quest and urge all friends of license
mott to consider or vote upon said Ques-
