WAR COSTS BRITAIN
SS MERCHANT SHIPS
Forty-seven Fishing Vessels Also
Captured or Destroyed by
Warships and Mines.

London, March 13.-The Admiralty
tonight issued a report stating that
from the outbreak of the war to March
10 eighty-eight merchant vessels were
sunk or captured. OF these 54 were
victims of hostile cruisers, II were de-
stroyel by mines and % by submarines.
Their gross tonnage totalled 3O9,945.
In the same period the total arrivals
and sailings of overseas steamers OF
all nationalities of over 800 tons net
were 4,745.
Forty-seven fishing vessels were
sunk or captured during this time.
Nineteen of these were blown up by
mines and twenty-eight were captured
by hostile craft. Twenty-four of those
captured were caught on August 70,
when, it is understood, the Germans
raided a fishing fleet
Since March 10. seven British steam
ers have been torpedoed, but of these
three were not sunk. The number OF
ships lost is considered small, in view
of the number of ships proceeding to
and from British ports.

SAMUEL B0WLES'S
ILLNESS FATAL
Publisher of "Springfield
Republican, Dies from
Cerebral Hemorrhage.

Springfield, Mass, March Il Samuel
Bowles, editor and publisher of "The
Springfield Republican," died at 1890
O'Clock this morning. He had been ii
for several days, following an attack Of
cerebral hemorrhage.
Samuel Bowles, son of the founder
of "1he Springfield Republican" was
born in Springfield, October 10, 1851.
He attended the public schools till
he was about fifteen years old, includ-
ing two years in the high school, and
then spent couple of years IN prl-
yate school preparing for college. He
then entered the business department
of "The Republican" expecting, after
little training in the wIys of busi-
ness, to go to college. After one win
ter of this work, however, his health
failed and he was sent in the spring OF
1869 on a Western trip for the pur-
pose of recuperation.
On this trip he was attached to a
party sent out from the Harvard Col
lege mining school. They visited the
Lake Superior iron and copper mining
regions, and then spent two months in
Colorado, making some of the first
measurements of elevations in the
Rocky Mountains. When the party
broke up Mr.. Bowles went on to Cali
fornia. He returned to Springfield in
November, and soon after sailed TO
Europe. lie spent two winters in Ger
many, matriculating at the University
of Berlin, where he pursued some spe-
cial studies, including history. In the
intervening summers he spent most of
the time in travel, returning home In
1871.
He then spent two years in a special
course of study in political economy,
history, etc, at New Haven. In the
summer of 1873 he made another
Western trip in company with a num-
Der of gentlemen, journalists and
others, and during this journey wrote
a series Of letters to "The Republican"
when he reckoned as the first regular
newspaper work he performed. On his
return he joined The Republican"
staff, beginning as a reporter and TAX
ing his degrees" in regular order.
This occupied about two years, though
during the time he also did some work
in the counting room.
In 1875 he was made business man
ager temporarily during the absence
of his uncle, b. F. Bowles, whose death
while abroad made the position per
manent, and he had occupied it ever
since, adding to it the duties and re-
sponsibilities of publisher and editor
in-chief since the death of his father,
in 1878.

Joseph Dayisson, 1t is claimed, first
settled upon the land on which Fridge
port now stands.
The exact, date of his building his
cabin Is not known, as the entry units
the date The certificate from the
commissioners OF unpatented lands
which was issued to him at Clarks-
burg in 1871, states that as the as
signee of Benjamin Coplin, he Is en-
titled to 400 acres in Monongalfa coun-
ty, on Simpsons creek, adjoining the
lands of James Anderson, with pre-
emptien of 1000 acres of land adj
joining thereto.
AS James Anderson, Andrew Davis
son, John Wilkinson and John Pow
ers all took up lands Immediately
surrounding Bridgeport during the
years 1771 to 1774, it is presumed that
Joseph Davisson joined the settlement
about that time.
Benjamin Stout the oldest resident
near Bridgeport says that Joseph Dav-
isson was one of the first settlers near
Bridgeport, and owned what was
known as the Coplin farm, and the
town was located on his land.

cases in which, owing to peculiari-
ties of type, the tissues and organs
interfere with one another. and urged
the right use of the body as means
to the utmost degree of physical
health. He pointed out that the slen-
der type of individual, with its fine
potentialities and yet its liability to
disease, is now being saved by our
preventive medical science, where for
merly it died off.

the children will be weaker than the
parents and we shall get weaker
instead OF a stronger strain n the
race. That type is becoming more
common, and it offers an opportunity
to the educator. We ought to carry
on such a system of education as will
develop that type into the splendid
body it is capable of. That is the
great task which confronts us-to
take that sensitive organization and
give it physical basis. adequate to
its support. Some day the educator
will put as great an emphasis on the
way in which the body is used as on
the way in which the mind is used"

Shinnston in History
From Haymond's Hisory of HARRISON County.

Shinnston was incorporated, and tne
voters were authorized to elect seven
trustees with the usual powers OF
such officers.
The act was not to take effect until
ratified by a majority Of the voters
of the town, and was to include the
town "as the same has heretofore
been laid off into lots, streets and al
leys."
During the war this charter was al
lowed to lapse and new one was
procured in 1877,
The circuit court on June 4, 1870,
issued an order Incorporating the
town of Shinnston under chapter ~
of the code appointed Albert Shinn,
James Jackson and M. j. Ogden core
missioners to hold the first election
for officers OF said town.
The inhabitants of Shinnston and
vicinity have always been noted Tor
their sturdy independence of charac-
ter and pronounced views of public
questions. This is shown by their
anti-slavery views at time when 10
be an "abolitionist' was considered
|reproach by great majority OF me
people of Virginia.
In the presidential election in 1850,
Abraham Lincoln, who represented
the opposition to slavery, received
twenty-five votes in the county, TWEEN
-ty of which were cast at Shinnston
and two at Clarksburg.
In the stirring events following the
election of Mr.. Lincoln, a large meet
ing was held in Shinnston and by pat
riotic resolutions took strong ground
in favor of the union and against Sc
cession.
In the movement to divide the state
they bore prominent part and con
tributed much by their influence to
its success in the county. The i'm
mediate neighhorhood furnished about
fifty soldiers to the union army.

But They Must Pay Share for
the Upkeep of The J.
State Funds

Can insurance companies supply
compensation insurance to employers
of labor If the employees prefer that
to taking advantage of the workmen' $
compensation fund? This question,
which is being widely discussed in
Ohio in regard to. practice in that
state. has been solved in West Vir<
ginia. An employer OF labor VINO des
sfres to carry his own insurance may
do SO IL he, complies with the West
Virginia compensation law.
It is provided, however, that he
must comply. with the rules and regu-
lations laid down by the compensa-
Etion commissioner. He must give bond
to the commissioner in sum sufficient
to cover such INSURANCE.; he must pay
as much insurance in the event of
accidents as is paid by the yorkmen's
compensation department; he is not
permitted to collect any premiums
from his employees: he must report all
accidents to the compensation com
missioner and the claim for insur-
ance is Investigated by him and the
amount of insurance to be paid pre-
scribed by the commissioner; the en-
ployeT then simply pays the insur-
anca on the order of the commissioner
instead OF paying his regular prem
ium into the state compensation fund
and having his losses paid out of IT.
When the employer has agreed to
comply in this manner with the law,
1t is then matter of personal bust
ness with him whether or. not he de-
sires to protect himself, with insurance
from regular insurance companies.
The state compensation commissioner
makes all his requirements of the en-
ployer and cares nothing about what
kind OF protection the employer may
secure from Insurance companies.
The employer thus carry ing his own
insurance is protected AGAINST suit IN
