ernment's interests than is Davis"
1t cannot be said that the President
has made up his mind TO appoint Davis
to the premiership. or that he has ap-
preached the solicitor general upon
the subject, but ii is believed that
close friends OF the executive have
given him to understand that no mis-.
take would be made il the West Vir-
ginian should be named.
II so happens that the border States
Of Maryland. West Virginia and Ken
lucky have no representative in the
cabinet. Geographically, therefore,
the Davis appointment would seem to
meet with favor.

IN 80: BRIEFS

IA .sueciaI train Of one car and an
enrine arrived in Fairmont on the
Rfckhannon and Northern railroad
~ySsterday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The
6Syty consisted Of D. B. Obey. super
Astsndeut Of the B. & N, at Browns
V9IIey D. Z. Orr, engineer. Of the NJ.
E. E. Root, master mechanic,
a. Brownsville; C. J.. Clifton, OF
Brounsyille; S. D. Brady, Of Fair
mont, and R. B. Stoter, Of Fairmont.
The train left at three o'clock in the
afternoon for Brownsville.
The party had quite a few compli-
mentary remarks to make concerning
the. work being done by Mr.. Brady,
and all OF them expressed their salts
faction in the appearance OF the sta-
ton.
The train was stopped at every sta
ton on the line and a regular iuspec-
tiOn made Of everything owned by
the company. When questioned con.
earning the exact date that trains
would operate between here and Pitts
burgh, the officials were unable TO
say. According to law, tariffs must
Be- submitted to the Interstate Com
merce Commission sixty days before
the time set for putting them in eff
feet. This was done and as far as
known when the rates are published
they will be effective the first Of July.
It viii not be necessary. it is
thought, to hold up transportation un-
til telegraph service al be installed.
For the present telephones are used
with which to dispatch trains. Tele-
phones are in use now all over the
United States and they are serving
the purpose of dispatching even bet
ter than telegraph. The diSpatching
headquarters will be at Brownsville.
The special train stopped at Nor
gantown on the way to Fairmont to
take dinner.
