TO VOTE ON PROHIBITION.

There is hardly any doubt now but
that the people of West Virginia will
vote Oh a constitutional amendment
at the next general election to pro
p:bit the manufacture and sale of in
texicating beverages The resolution
to submit an amendment providing for
state wide prohibition passed the state
senate yesterday by larger vote than
the anti-whiskey people had any hope
of securing and the vote against ID
was smaller than the whiskey people
anticipated
The hous has already passed res
olution providing for the same thing
by an overwhelming majority and it is
reasonable to believe that the senate
bill viii get as large vote in the
house as did the former bill.
The people in this city who are at
the present time waging campaign
against the saloon were very jubilalt
last evening when they learned the
news. 1t came entirely unexpected as
none of them had the least idea that
the senate would vote dry.
What eff ct the submission of the
amendment will have on the coming
local election can not be determined
at this early dat The leaders in the
movement have taken no action as yet
and they may wait until the house
votes tomorrow before thu matter is
given any consideration.

PROHIBITION AMENDMENT.

Many people in Martinsburg are in
terested in the progress Of the prohi-
bition amendment through the state
Legislature. The fact that the people
OF this city will soon vote on the wet
and dry question, makes it probably Of
more interest at this time than would
otherwise be the case.
The overwh Inning vote in the house
yesterday for its submission to the
people was somewhat Of surprise to
the local pronibltionists.
What the senate will 60 with it is a
question which will be settled some
day next week. Indications are that
it will not pass the upper branch Of
the legislature. There may be some
surprises however when the vote is
taken. 1t was not expected that Their
would be so few votes against it in
the house as the anttlice1se people
loughc that there would be at least
twenty votes against its passage.
Many people are of the opinion that
the legislature should give the people
Of the state an opportunity tc say
whether or not they want the saloon.
Whether or not the legislature will at.
ford them the opportunity remains to
be seen.
At all events it is the most interest
ing question before the lawmakers at
the present time.

from that poison, A number of per-
sons interested in the case say they
would refuse to accept the carbon
monoxide theory should chemists find
carbon monoxide in the blood. DR..
Francis E. Harrington, city health
officer. who assisted in the chemical
analysis of the viscsra of the pair,
says that persons in a room where gas
is burning take monoxide into their
blood DIR. Harrington, as health Of
fiCer, signed the death certificates of
Twigg and Miss Elosser, and in each
case the cause of death was given as
cyanid poisoning. DR.. Harrington
thought il very probable that monox-
de would be found in the blood from
the fact chat the pair was sitting in a
room where a gas stove was burning.
Authentic information from Keyser
is that the family of Twigg think he
was murdered, and they will not ac-
cept the carbon nonoxide poisoning
theory, evsn should experts, after an
examination of the blood, decide this
to be the cause of the, deaths. The
people of Keyser, Twigg's home, who
have been aroused by the recent move
generally share the opinions of the
Twigg family. Nothing but positive
proof to the contrary, they say, will
alter their opinion

cure samples of the blood of the

original autopsies and who were at
that time of the opinion that cyanide

OF the pair, and one of the physicians
who put forth the monoXide theory,
were present when the samples of
blood were taken Mr. Robb added
that the samples had been sent to
chemists of the highest repute, but he
declined to give their names. saying,
however that their answers would be
received in a short time, and as soon
as the reports are received "the public
will know whether or not these par
ties came to their death by carbon
monoxide poisoning or cyanide
Mr.. Robb consluded: Everything
that can be done has been done to I'M
