Interesting Notes About the Werk, Peo
ple and Reads In West Virginia One
Of tha KmeM Hatfield Employed.
Special Cerret pendncee of the IrrrxLLtaxscxn.
Keoeii's Commissary, Wayne C. H.,
W. VA., May 6. Contrater Hugh Keogh,
of Lancaster, Pa., began work en his ten
mile section of the new Ohie river exten
sion of the Norfolk A Weilcrn railroad en
April 14, and this rainy first Monday in
May finds mero than three miles of work
opened. Geed headway has been made,
and the work vigorously prosecuted, des
pite the drawbacks aud difficulties in the
way, the eh I of of which was the bad
weather; rainy days have been numerous,
and a rainfall one day generally means no
work en the morrow. The first pick was
sunk in the earth enLawyerPrlchard's farm
in the flat land alongthe Twelve Pele rlver.
Mr. Keogh's section extends from a point
beginning one mile north of Wayne Court
Heuse and extending along the Twelve
Pele te the north of Deep Hele creek. Mr.
Keogh's section is one of the best along the
entire 105 miles of the new read, which will
wind and wriggle like a snake through
these wonderfully rich coal and timber
lands of West Virginia. The new read
will develop these lands, and make known
te the world the vast natural resources of a
country hitherto but little known. The
hills are covered with geed timber, such as
oak, poplar and ether weeds, which find a
ready market. Jlcncath the surface of this
rna-ged country He mammoth deposits of
coal. The country has a wondrous wealth
of building stene and the masons who will
construct the bridges, culverts, etc., have
the finest kind of materials at their elbows
te work upon. The sand stone, of which
all the masonry will be composed, is found
in abundant quantities and is of a fine grade,
whitish-green in color, easily quarried and
handily worked. Immcnse boulders of
this sand stone lie en the hills, where tbey
were thrown by some great convulsion of
the earth in an age gene by. The great
blocks of stone bang in such position that
tbeir tumbling ever seems almost immi
nent. Pe rhnps a brief description of Wayne
Court Heuse, where Contractor Keogh has
his headquarters, would net be amiss.
The village, for it is nothing mere, is situ
ated en an elevation which is known as
Trout's Hill. The place contains bctween
three and four hundred peeple and beasts
of a court house, in the last stages of crumb
ling decay, a jail where the priseners dally
howl, and a weekly newspaer. The houses
are all woedon, save the jail and court
house A number of the dwellings are
constructed by legs with the chinks be
tween the rough timbers filled with clay.
A portion of the village has much the ap
pearance of "Shanty town," that mythical
habitation of goats and Hibernians in New
Yerk city, which Puck illustrated se
humorously for many years. Why Wayne
Court Heuse was located en this hill Is be
yond the understanding of the eldest in
habitants, and theso who have their
domiciles and steres en the hill new want
them en the lowlands near the village
where the railroad is passing through.
Seme of the fossils about here leek upon
the railroad as an unholy invasion. They
de net want the quiet of their hills and
valleys disturbed, and they reason that if
the town did without a railroad for a half
century anether half century could roll
just as happily by without the rush and
snort of the locomotive.
Then, again, there are progressive, en
terprising, wldo-awake citizen?, who hall
the advent of the steam horse as the begin
ning of a new era, and they dash sentiment
aslde und care net for the disturbing in
fluence in their timber-clothed hills and
verdant valleys. Wayne Court Heuse has
new the chance of its oxistenco, and the
railroad will create for It a boom. Every
bite te cat, every article of apparel and all
ether necessaries of life must be brought
here overland, ever the worst reads In the
universe. Witlfthe ndvent of the railroad
goods ran be brought Inte the town mero
quickly aud cheaper. Wayne Court Heuso
is right in the heail of a great coal field and
timber ceunlry and within two years, if I
am net mistaken, the town will cast off its
swaddling clothes aud assuine a citified air.
Already land which a year age could be
purchased for a dozen dollars an acre has
been sold for prices ranging from $C0 te
$75. The boom Is yet undeveloped, but the
wido-awuke citizen rces great prospects for
the village when the railroad Is completed.
The boom cannot ceme any tea seen, for
beyend the shadow of a doubt Wayne Court
Heuse is one of the slewest, sleepiest towns
in seven states.
When Contractor Keegh and his tnen
first arrived In town they were looked
upon as something akin te curiosities. The
poeplo hardly knew whether they should
take the railroad men warmly by the hand
and welcome thorn or treat them with cold
disdain. They hoc med te dobate the ques
tion in their minds and then came te the
conclusion that it were better te adept the
first named plan for the newcomers, and
we uew find ourselvos in the geed graces
of the vlllagers. A goodly portion of the
pepulace turned out when the first let of
stock and caits arrived, and when t lie com
missary was opened about two weeks age
a number of the townspeople became pa
trons of the store.whoro everything is sold,
from a cress-cut saw te a piece of that cele
brated crystal soap which "won't wash
tlethes."
About four miles of .Mr. Keogh's work is
in nnd ubeut the vicinity of Wayne Court
Heuso. The read will swcep about the
village in a great curve, and the bend is
almost as long as the coluhrated "Horseshoe
Curve" lu the Allegheny mountains. Mr.
Keogh has made remarkable progress,
when all things are considered, and he is
further advanced with the work new than
any of the contractors en the whole
line. He lias about one hundred laborers
at work, composed of Italians, Hungarians,
Kentuckians and e few from Wayne. A
few days age a gang of twenty Kentuck
ians came te the work en feet and asked
for employment, which was Immediately
given them. They were "greenles" with
the pick and shevel, but they quickly bo be bo
caiuequlto expert in tossing the earth en
the carls or harrows. Among the Ken
turky contingent was William Hatfield,
who is a member of 11m iietjiimiii family
which engaged lu the torrible fend with
the McCoys. When it became known
among the townspeople that ihere was a
Hatfield among the laborers, seme fright
was created and one of the native", who
learned or the fact, refused te work in the
same gang with the man with the bad
name. Hatfield Is a harmless-looking fel
low and u willing worker, lie is engaged
in driving cart, and furiously enough, ene
of the mules which he has charge of is
called "Dynamite" quite in keeping with
the sheeting records of the notorious fami
lies. Hatfield had two brothers shot down
In cold bleed by the McCoy faction, and he
is new a railroad mtile-drlver, trvlng te
earn an honest livelihood. But Ids turn
may com next.
The greatetf difficulty which baa been
214.
experienced by Mr. Keogh has been the
transportation of hla goods te this point
Everything mi first shipped by steamboat
or railroad te Huntington, Wert Virginia,
distant about twenty-two miles from
Wayne Court Heuse. The reads running
between these two points have never been
macadamised and the spring thaw left
them In a frightful condition. Besides the
sticky red mad the reads are full of deep
chuck. holes, and when a wagon sinks Inte
one of them It requires almost a locomo
tive's power te draw It out. At numerous
points land slides have occurred and an
entire hill side hss slipped down Inte the
read, bringing with It huge blocks of stone
and big trees which were tern out by the
roots. Travelers riding by night have
come upon these slips and their horses
have gotten Inte them before the rider was
aware of the danger. It Is a common sight
when passing along the reads te see a
broken down wagon fsstened In the deep
mud or one overturned along the read side.
Here Is one Instance of the difficulties of
traveling these reads, which, as I have
said before, are the worst en the face
of the glebe: Last Mendsy morning
Mr. Keogh and your correspondent started
from Huntington with twenty carts and
mules and a four horse tesm leaded with
previsions. A heavy rainfall hsd occurred
a few days before aud the reads were almost
Impassable. A half-dozen times the wagon
was unleaded in order te get It out of a
doep hole or admit of its passage through
the mud, which clings te the wheels with
the closeness of a brother. At one point
axes were taken from the wagon and trees
were cut down te corduroy the read and
make It passable. Fences were tern down
and the cavalcade moved through the fields
for considerable distances. Nightfall en
Monday found every team a dozeu mlles
from Huntington and with great difficulty
quarters were found for the men and
animals. Houses wbere accommodations
can be secured are few and far botween in
this country. The next morning a fresh
start was made, but it was six o'clock en
Tuesday evening before the men aud teams
arrived at Wayne, all in sn exhausted con
dition, after a terribly fatiguing Journey.
The iNTEt.MciENUKB's indulgent readers
can form an idea of the reads when, as
stated above, two whole days were con
sumed in going twenty-twe mlles 1
In a few days Mr. Keogh will have an
additional force of one hundred men at
work and things will go with a rush,
which will cause the slew-going natives te
open their eyes in surprise and wonder wender wonder
ment. Something which did surpriaothem
was the follewing: When the grading was
begun the carts could net pass a small gap
about fifteen feet wide. Mr. Keegh gave
orders that a bridge be built. Trees were
quickly cut down and the gap filled up.
Streng timbers were placed across the
opening, and in a couple of hours the bridge
was ready te pass ever. The cltlzens had
hover seen a plece of work done with such
speed that it was seme days bofero they
ceased wonderlng hew It was done. Things
are new in shape te puBh the work for
ward rapidly, and Christinas is the
1 1 me stated for the completion of Mr.
Keegh's section. Extra work may pro
long the work, but with fair weather the
advent of 1831 will see the work finished.
Mr. Koegli has been complimented by the
chief engineer of the N. & W. It. It., for the
progress he has made thus far en his work.
The first accident which occurred since
the work lias opened took place en Thurs
day last. A dynamite exploder, which
Prank Wherry, a stableman, carried in his
pocket, exploded and the small metal
cylinder was blown te fragments. The
pocket of his vest was tern out and the
pieces cf metal entered his arm, badly
lacerating that member 'badly. The story
of the accident Is the old one: "Didn't
knew it was leaded."
Among the men whom Mr. Keogh has
surrounded himself with is Matthew Mc
Cabe, a railroad man who is well known te
the Iamcasler contractors. Mr. McCabe is
ene of Mr. Keogh's walking bosses, and
he has had a long and varied experience in
railroad work. He is an oxpert " powder
man," as the men are called who are
skilled in blowing rock. He is cognizant
of every detail of railroad coestructlon,and
has been employed en many of the great
reads of the United States, and he is a man
of intelligence and ability. Among ethers
in Mr. Keogh's employ are Jehn and
Samuel lllnkley, Jehn Cey and Samuel
Beekman, of Mountville ; his tlmekeeper
Is Walter Ceyle, of Lancaster, who is a well
known telegraph operator, and was with
Mr. Keogh in the Cenemaugh valley.
As the work progresses I will let the I.v-

A CONTEST FOR OFFICE.
THEE AWUCASrS FOR TIE PMTI1STEI
SHIP 8P MARIETTA.
The Claims or the Candidates-Cameren
and Qnay Indorse Mr. Bcbafrner.
The Man te be Named Soen.
The new postefllcer of Marietta will be
decided In a few days. The commission
of the present official has expired, and the
appointment would have been made
several days age. but It was net deemed
geed politics by Mr. Breslus te nsme the
postmaster until after the primary.
The three applicants for the position are
Geerge H. Ettla, C. A. Sckaffncr and S. K.
Wlsner.
Ettla Is an aetlve party werker, and has
the support of the politicians of the bor
ough, a number of business men, and a
geed share of the G. A. It. comrades. He
was solid for llreslus in the past camtudgn,
and outside the Marietta politicians no has
the active support of a number of the big
bosses. Ills friends leek for his appoint
ment, and if It gees te either of the above
named applicants there will be great dis
appointment among the politicians.
Mr, SohafTner never took an active inter
est In politics. He was run for troasurer
three years sge by the Heg King and talked
of being a candidate this time. It was cur
rent rumor that Schaffner agreed te stay
out of the fight this year te benefit Sam
Martin and in consideration of doing se he
was te get the Marietta besses. Ills for
mer political allies, it is said, have deserted
him and say he stands no chance of ap
pointment. The third candldate Is R. E. Wlsner. He
nover was a factor in the politics of the
borough. He thought he saw a chance te
win through K. K. Martin's friendship for
him. He and Martin messed tegether
during the war, and early in his cam
paign no enlisted Martin. The candldaey
of the last named rather unset things
and he found himself in the position
of net being able te help Wlsner
a great deal. Wlsner depends for his ap
pointment en the Interest the Grand Array
is taking in him. Numerous petitions
have been prepared Blgned by Grand Army
men in all sections of the county nnd seut
te Congressman llreslus, urging him te
appoint Wlsner. Congressman Brasilia is
a practical politician and sees that Wlsner
is of no great use te him.
Great interest is centred in the contest
in Marietta and vicinity, and numerous
wagers have been made en the result.
Kttia is tee favorlte in the peel soiling.
Columbia nnd Marietta l'ostmnsters.
Frem the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The contests for the presidential post pest post
mastershlps at Columbia and Marietta are
within a tew days of a conclusion. The
commission of the Democratic -Incumbent
at Columbia expires next woek, and In
Marletta the time was up en April 23.
Beth, otlices were factors in the Inte
primary, all the politicians being solid for
Breslus se that they might have a chance
at the congressman's car.
The liame of Marietta's next postmaster
is likely te ba announced from Washing
ton en Saturday or early next week. One
ofthree men will get the prize, Calvin A.
Schatfner, S. E. Wlsner and Geergo H.
Kttla. As Schaffner's Indersements are the
most numereus, and Include letters from
Senater Quay and Cameren, thore Isn't
much doubt of his success.
In Columbia four first-class men are in
the field Majer Jeseph W. Yocum, editor
of the Spy; Cfiief Burgess Jero Kech, Cel.
Jehn Wright and Rebert S. Cenklln, the
yeung1 leader of the First ward. Thcse
men being friends of the congressman and
at the same time worthy of recognition. It
is difficult for him te make a decision. He
has told one of the leaders that the Colum
bians will have te unite en a satisfactory
man. If the boys de net get tegether seen
they may be very greatly surprised when
the appointment is announced.

The morning paper of this city soems
anxious te hurt the home ball club, which
without much ir.oney is doing the best
that Is possible. Manager Goedhart is
doing all that he can with the material
that he can get, and he should net be
ex pec ted te make a great showing against
Harrisburgaud its combination of strong
men.
If thopeeploof this city would give as
geed support fea ball cluh as the players
de te a-pitchcr,aud the growlers, who knew
everything, would shut their heads for a
time, semething beneticlal might result.
The manager of the Yerk club has gotten
out an injunction te prevent Grant from
playing with the llarrisburg team. Grant
can still be found doing business at third
base, notwithstanding.
The llarrisburg club deserves te trot
along. It Is an organization of henest ball
players, who are held together by geed
management, and they can make any team
In the country hustle.
Manager Parringten, of the llarrisburg
club, is ene of the bent known men In the
business and he is capable of managing a
club in any association. He has just sent
W. II. Voltz, who seems te be president,
secretary, treasurer and manager of the
Interstate League, a lctter in regard te the
signing of Grant that is u stinger. Mr.
Farrlnuteu undoubtedly lias the best of the
case, and because he was hustler enough te
Set the famous ball player he should net be

In prohibition states, Mr. Stevens re
marked that prohibition is a national cmos cmes cmos
tlen, and that the Prohibitionists would
carry their fight te Congress and endeavor
te amend the interstate cemmerce law as te

James Black, of Lancaster, who was the
Prohibition candidate for president in 1872,
was quite outspekon regarding the charges
which have been made against the personal
and political caroer of Matt hew Stanley
Quay, The charges, Mr. Black thinks, are
very specific and the junior senator cannot
allbrd te pass them by unnoticed. It is te
be deplored, said he, that a big organization
like the Republican party is held lu the
hand of Quay and hu thinks it sad, or
words te that effect, that President Harri
son permits himself te be swayed by Quay
and ethors. Speaklng of tlie coming cam
paign, Mr. Black gave as his opinion that
the Prohibitionists would poll a larger vote
than usual. Thore are 300,000 right-minded
people In the state, he said, who favor a
prohibitory amendment, and It Is expected
that the Prohibition party vele will be
swollen considerably.
