VIRGNIAN ROAD
HAY EXTEND LINE ON THROUGH TO THE
LAKES.

Indianapolis, May le.-Persons as
sociated with Joseph Ramsey, former
president of the Wabash, in building
the Lorain and Ashland and the Ash
land and Southern railroad in Ohio,
refused to affirm the statement that
negotiations had been opened by H.
II. Rogers and his associates for the
purchase of the Ramsey roads. They
say Mr.. Ramsey is handling all such
matters, and he is expected at Pitts
burg the present month to confer on
questions pertaining to the Ohio
roads. In case this deal is closed, the
Virginian railroad built by Mr.. Rogers
will make connectionswith the Ram
sey roads, giving a through line from
the Atlantic seaboard to the Great

dog was killed at some point up the

DARING ROBBERY
The BUILDING USED As AN OFFICE BY
BOxLEY & co. BROEENNTO.

Saturday night between nine and
ten o'clock the building used by
B. B. Boxley & Co. railroad COM
tractors, us anofice was broken into,
and two trunks carried out and fore
ed open. The robbers got about
5000. as a result of their efforts.
G. D. Morris, chief clerk at the
commissary wired the Chief of Police
at Huntington and BloOd-hOunds
were sent up here and put on the
trail. The dogs took the trail from
the trunks and followed it for about
three mile north of Point Pleasant,
where they lostit. Two tramps that
were in that neighborhood were ar
rested on suspicion but were after
wards released as no evidence against
them was secured.
Suspicion points to two or three
characters that live close to where
the dogs lost the trail, and it is
thought that arrests of them will be
made shortly. The Job was evident
ly done by local talent as the robbers
knew just where the money was
kept and it is known that more than
one person was connected with the
affair as the trunks which were heavy
ones were carried over quarter of
mile before being broken open.
1t is said that the Company is will
ing to pay reasonable reward for
that will lead to the cap-
ture of the guilty parties. Capt.
Fogelsong, ]. R. Gaslins and De-
tective Rube Kayser are on the case
and with such efficient officers after
them, it is only question Of time
until the guilty parties are appre-
hended.

KILLED BY Bull.
RESLEYSAYRE, WELL KNOWN N THIS
COUNTY, FATALLY ATTACKED.


After Wednesday evenings train
passed Angerona, Mr.. Wesley sayre,
"a prominent citizen of that place
went to milk. Hehad rented ofMr.
Fox the pasture adjoining Charley
Harpold's place and among his cat
tie was two-year-old short horn
bull, which having manifested vici-
BUSINESS had been dehorned and his
head chained to a foot, the animal
had been offered for sale and a pros.
pective buyer to see him that day.
He Is said to have attacked Mr. Sayre
day or two earlier and friends had
warned him to beware.
When Mr.. Sayre did not return
home his family had misgivings and
a search for him in the pasture was
made. The milk bucket, his hat
and a shoe were found at different
places and down the hill just outside
the field lay Mr.. sayre's remains. 1t
was removed to the family residence
and DR.. H. W. Casio reached there
to find he could render no aid.
Surroundings indicate to those who
have gone over the field that Mr..
sayre was attacked while milking
that he had held the chain fasten-
ed to the animals head and foot un-
til the chain broke; that he had used
as a weapon of defense his pocket
knife, which lay opened by his dead
body, the face of the animal giving
evidence of wounds inflicted by its
blade; that he had died game. He
had gotten out of the field in a
ditch crossed by the fence and his
position would indicate that he had
gone out feet first. There had been
considerable laceration of the face
and hemOrrhage of the ear.
Mr.. Sayre was 81 years old n
son of Elijah sayre, now one ofthe
Oldest men of the county, and for
years had been prominent locally,
serving his neighbors as postmaster,
merchant and miller. Two of his
sons own and operate the Anger
0na -four mill and store in the
same village.
A widow and several children,
among who is Attorney Theodore
Sayre, survive him.-JacksOn Her

saturday nigh., May Isl Iast, was

Saturday night, May lst last, was
a notable occasion for the members
and friends of Garland -Rodes Camp
of Confederate Veterans, Lynchbure.
Va, it being the regular monthly
meeting night, and also the time set
apart for the dedication of its new
home, which was presented it by
Mrs. George NJ. Jones, the widowof
a brave Confederate veteran.
The attendance of ladies and gen
tlemen was large and enthusiastic.
Nearly all of the members of the
Camp physically able to be out we're
present. The evening was given
over to music, song and story, >
speeches, war time "reminiscences and
a CHEEKY good time generally.
But what most interests our Mason
County and West Virginia friends
and readers in the meeting and dedi-
cation, was the honor bestowed upon
one of our most distinguished neigh
bors and fellow-citizen, Gen. John
MeCausland.
For many months members ofGar-
land -Rodes Camp, citizens OfLynch-
burg and other sections of Virginia,
supplemented by his old comrade and
brother alumnus of the V. NJ. l.,
Gen. Thomas 7. Munford, had been
soliciting and urging Gen. Mccaus-
land to have an oil painting of him
self made, to be hung in the hall of
the Camp when ready for occupancy,
alongside of other distinguished
officers of the confederacy. After
much correspondence and persuasion,
the General reluctantly consented to
have thework done. The size, style
of frame and character of picture de-
sired were prescribed by his Lynch
burg friends and admirers.
After the portrait was finished and
before its acceptance, it was sent to
this place from Boston, where the
work was done, for the inspection
and criticism of the Generals closest
friends and associates. All who seen
it pronounced it an extraordinarily
fine likeness and the work of an ac-
complished artist, and that is the
criticism passed upon it by Lynch
burg friends.
Upon its acceptance it was sent to
Lynchburg, and on the occasion re-
ferred to above was presented to Gar
land-Rodes Camp through Gen.
Thomas T. Munford, and without
whose solicitation the portrait would
probably never have been painted.
Gen. Munford in presenting the
portrait said in part, as reported in
the Lynchburs papers:
General Mccausland was ever a
leader of men. Entering the vir-
ginia Military Institute STRIPPING,
he soon made his mark in his class,
and won the first star, when he re-
ceived his diploma in the class of
1857. Like Generals R. E. Rodes
and Samuel Garland, for whom this

Gen. JOHN NJ CAUSLAND PAID
NICE TRIBUTE AT LYNCHBURG
PORTRAIT PRESENTED TO CONFEDERATE CAMP IN LYHBURC VIRGINIA. on
SATURDAY NIGH, NAY La.

MI, MAI lSl.
Camp is named, he became an as
siseant professor at the Virginia
Military Institute, and when the
war began, though the section from
which he hailed was disloyal, he laid
his unsheathed sword at Virginia
feet, headed regiment, and soon
won his commission as Brigadier
General of Cavalry, and served with
rare ability during the full four years
of war. His management of his
command after the death of General
W. E. Jones, killed at Piedmont
when Hunter advanced up the VAL
ley, was as mastery an effort as can
be found in the annals of Virginia
Cavalry in any part of the war.
For three hundred miles he hung
in front of Hunters advancing
column, who had Generals Crook and
Averill with s, 900 cavalry and mount
ed infantry with fresh horses, to dis
pute wherever McCausland could pre-
sent an obstacle.
If it is only those who have ex-
perienced what such retreat means
who can form an idea of its demoral-
izing effect, morning, noon and night
could be accomplished by fighting
such odds. Yet it was absolutely
necessary to keep near enough to
prevent their turning off and eludins
their movements. He was like the
great Ashby who served as Jackson S
right arm in the memorable Valley
campaign of 1869, and by his skill
and ubiquity, kept General R. E.
Lee posted so as to seat troops to
thwart Grants well-devised plans,
in time to save Lynchburg. This is
neither the time nor place to give in
detail an eulogy upon McCausland,
but this | make bold to say to the
young men of Virginia who may here
after be ambitious to serve their old
mother, come what troubles may
that whoever shall after him deserve
best of her, can never think himself
underrated when he shall hear that
his courage, virtue, and patriotism is
laid in the balance and compared to
that of this noble Confederate hero
General John McCausland.
And hehad many under him who
supported him with the same spirit
and loyalty which he gave to Virginia.
Yes, tonight many face will loom
up ike the CLEAN of landscape lit
suddenly for a moment by lightning,
as those old scenes flash down upon
our hearts and brains again across the
forty-fye years agone. But what a
life it was to US! Where are many
of those who were there with him
those who rode their horses into the
mists of death, and laid down their
young lives for their Mother Virginia,
as willingly = yes, poured out their
noble blood as cheerfully as ever
after a long days romp when infants
they rested their wearied heads upon
their mothers knees or had sank to
sleep in her arms.

The business mems association Of
Point Pleasant was organized las.

Want REFERENDUM
on LICENSE QUESTION As FINAL TEST
IN CHARLESTON.

In InArlESlUN.
whleit is generally believed that
councl will not recede from its ac-
ton ofTuesday and Thursday night
and that Charleston viii experience
dry spell this summer, the license
question continues to be the main
sorie Of conversation throughout the
city.
The action ofthe city council was
such surprise to the retail liquor
dealers Of the city that they have
hardly recovered from their surprise
and are yet undecided about the fight
they will make for license in the city.
1t is hardly believed that the sa-
lOGnasts will see the city go dry with
out making an effort to stem the
Temperance wave, but as yet there is
no organization among the men who
dead in intoxicants.
Another line of battle is proposed
by those who are in favor of license.
Those who favor license in the city
say that at the recent election when
the new council was elected the Ii
eense question did not enter into the
controversy and that the councilmen
in voting for or against license are
merely expressing their personal
opinion, and not rejecting the wishes
of their constituency which has never
had the opportunity of expressing
Itself on the question.
In line with this argument it is
expected that at the next meeting of
the city council resolution viii be
offered to submit the proposition to
the people of the city at the polls.
While there Is no local option stat
ute in West Virginia and the city
council Is the municipal licensing
body it is contended that the council
should reflect the wishes of the citi-
zens they represent and if the people
at the polls express themselves in
favor of a dry town then there will
be no further opposition to the plan
to eliminate the saloon.
The temperance adherents do not
think that the city council under the
statutes have any authority to call
special election to vote on the is
sue of license or no license and say
that that matter is vested entirely in
the hands of the municipal licensing
bodies.
Another feature of the campaign
J being waged by the vets and object
ed to by the drys is the question of
revenue. 1t has been stated that
the refusal of the city council to is
sue licenses will mean loss of S45,-
900 in revenue to the city.
The advocates of prohibition con-.
tened that these figures are incorrect.
During the past year, it is pointed
out, that the city received only about
$50, 900 from the saloons, there be-
ing forty-nine saloons paying the
city $500 each. While the Icensei is
higher this year the Temperance peo-
pie say no one has authority to say
that the license would amount to
$4,000, an increase of one-third
over last year.
One prominent temperance man
stated that it would be impossible to
tell what the levy would be for the
coming year until the valuating of
property was complete in the city of
Charleston and the annual levy can
not be estimated until that time. If
the increase in valuation is large it
is doubtful if the levy will have to
be increased.-charleston Mail.
