VIII Not Join Clerks in Testing Law.
VIII Meet In Wheeling in
August.

Huntington, w. Va. January a.
The West Virginia Sheriffs associa-
tion, which met here. sprung quite a
surprise, when they took action indi-
eating that they have no grievance
against the state tax Commissioner.
neither are they dissatisfied with the
state fee law as 1t Is now constructed
and they will rot take any part in the
testing of Its constitutionality by the
West Virginia County and Circuit
Clerks association. 1t was anticipated
that the special meeting had been
called for the purpose OF joining with
the clerks in their legal war on the
county fee law. but instead the sheriffs
unanimously voiced their satisfaction
OF existing conditions under the coun-
ty fee law. 1t was the sentiment that
|if any disagreement should arise be-
tween the tax commissioners and the
sheriffs. II should be settled diplomati-
cally and without the adoption OF dras-
tic measures. involving the aid OF the
law.
The sheriffs executive committee
win confer with the tax commissioner
at an early date with the view OF To-
eating their exact position In connec-
ton with the fee system. Twenty
two sheriffs were in attendance.
The association adjourned to meet
In Wheeling in August.

NEW RAILROAD LINE
New Read win Run From Near Han.
cock Into Pennsylvania Dis
tance Of 40 Miles.

A new railroad, IS miles long and
having its southern terminus at the
Maryland line near Hancock, will be
built from the coal fields in Fulton
and Huntington counties, Pennsyl
vania. A charter has been granted To
the Tuscarora Railroad Company ia
build the line The Company is con
trolled almost entirely by New York
and Connecticut capitalists, who have
decided to develop that portion o!
Fulton and Huntington counties which
lis rich in anthracite and bituminous
coal and timber. The new line will
be constructed from Biair's Mill
through Fulton county to a Point at
the Maryland line whers Licking creek
flows into the Potomac river. The
Company's capital stock Is s450, 900.
The Tuscarora Valley railroad now
extends from Port Royal, about AS
miles west of Harrisburg, southwark
to Blair's Mil. The new line is to
extend southwark through the two
counties and will have its terminus
across the Potomac river from the
main line OF the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad According to rumors in
connection with the new road, there
may be something more than appears
on the surface in the formation OF
the new company to extend the Tus-
|carora Valley railroad south, especial
ly as the Tuscarora people are consid-
ering the standardization OF their
road. Ii is reported that the plans in
clude either a connection with the
Western Maryland railroad or the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad at its lower
terminous, and that much OF the new
coal and timber traffic to be develop
ed may be diverted to one of these
lines in the event of connection be-
ing made. The new line will also run
within few miles of the Franklin
county extension of the Cumberland
Valley railroad
