Senator Stewart, republican, ot Nevada,
on Friday made a vigorous speech against
the Force bill. After he had finished. Sen
ator Faulkner tried to get from Mr. Hoar
some declaration as to whether he regarded
the fourteenth section of the hi I as confer
ringjud cial powers on the boards of can
vassers, or whether it was the intention of
the friends of the bill that they should pos
•esssuch powers. Mr. Hoar, however, was
iu such a frame of uiind that he would not
or could not enlighten Mr Faulkner on
these matters The West Virginia Senator
are thorns in the flesh of the sanctimonious
senator from Massachusetts.
A correspondent of the (Amrier Journal,
describing Senator K- tina'- second speech
in the Senate upon the Force bill, pay - him
a handsome compliment, a* follows: *‘|'he

From the Wheeling Register.
M-srs Clarence Irwin unil Ot-orge Ad

meeting of business moil, held some time
since, to proceed to Charlestown, Jefferson

ter rep -rter met Mr. Irwin soon after bis
return, .ud ask d him his impressions of
Charles own in particular, and the eastern
part of the State in general. In reply the
geut email named said :
“We have given the Improvement Com
pany’s plans and resources a caieful and
close investigation, and I am thoroughly
•aii-iicd that they have a *(>endid tiling.
We wid-o report to our principals. They

must go over lfie ground to appreciate what

will accomplish wo.ders, and so will toe

ing mat tbe completion of these roads, and
others projected, reaching into the greut
coal field'of the southern portion of tins
estate, will revolutionize, eventually, the
Uonne.lsville Coke business, and very con
siderably disturb the conditions under which
iron and steel * now made in this part ol

Air. Irwin was quite enthu-ia'lic about
the general advantages of the eastern p>>r

A sad death was that of Mrs. W illiam B
Wernwag, which occurred about 12:30
o clock Saturday afternoon, at the residence
..I her brother, Mr Charles W. Button, on
Church street.
Toed-ceased lady was a resident of this
city for a number of years and was known
and loved by many. Ten years ago she mar
ried and removed to Roanoke, where she
ha' since resided. For some time past she
bail b> en in delicate health,and three mouths
ago she went to Cincinnati to undergo a
delicate surgical operation, in the hope ol
restoring her health. 1 iii' operation was
skilfully performed but her enfeebled and
emaciated frame was unequal to the seven
trial, and she began to sink. Some days
ago her brother, Mr. C W. Button, was tele
graphed for.
To him «he expressed a desire to be taken
to her old home to die. Despite her ex
treuie illness, her wish was gratified. She
arrived h r.- Saturday by the Norfolk a. d
Western road, and was tenderly conveyer
to the old home on Church street. Hardlx
h :d she entered the familiar portals, when
ner spirit took its flight to be inhered into
the portaU of light on high. It seemed u>
though Providence had granted her her
wish.

The Baltimore Sun reports an excellent
story told by a United States Senator, whose
name i* not given, at bis own expense. I he
S nator in question is a l)t inocrat, a states
man of great ability, fond of a joke, pas
aionately devoted to hunting—attd probably
ha.Is trim the Katiawh.t, though the Sun
reporter doesn’t say so. 1 his Senatorial
Ntuirod —so the story goes—though U'Uu I'
“on pleasure bent ” when he goes a hunt
tug, bunted last month for bis health, a>
well; and when he departed from bis Wa-li
ington doctor’s care took some pills with
hnu. The joyful news of the great Demo
cratic victory came day hy day to the deer
hunters’ caiup in the West Virginia moun
tains—where, we mav be sure, the hero ol
the story did not go until be bail done ah
in (us power t<t bring about the ascendancy
of Ins party and restore constitution! I go
vernment ; ami one morning the Senator*
sportsman was lecovering from the surprise
ami delight ol a fresh instalment of election
returns when the bay ol bounds admonish
ed him that the game had been started.—
II tshly loading hi* double barreled gun, lie
hied him to the scene of action, anti had
1 ju-t stationed himself when a tine buck
came by within easy range. Ol course the
Senator took advantage of the opportunity;
and of course he was surprised when the
game didn’t hite the dii'tiri the convention
al m timer at his first tire nr his second, but
"stretching forward free and far” left the
puzzled politician to meditate upon the un
certainty of things terrestrial. Now for the
explanation: The Senator doesn’t think it
possible that be missed his mark at such
short range, and he accounts lor his failure
in mt* uffr mi iia iuii mm u«*
loa lt d his gun from the wrong pocket a no
tried i<> kill his game with nothing more
dangerous than :t load of blue-ma-s pills.—
He doesn’t say, but the alert newspaper
man conjectures, that—conversely—hismed
icine that morning must have consisted of
a charge of buck shot—an unusual but ap
propriate treatment for buck fever.
