PRESTON COUNTY. An Interesting talk with County Clerk Martin. SOME OF HER MANY ADVANTAGES. Tho coal, Timber and Farming Industries?A short Kail road that is a great Institution?Kingwood as a Summer Ucsort?Coming Improvements. Hon. 3. A. Martin, of Kingwood, clerk oi tho county court of rreston county, and ono of the leading spirits in tho building and development of tlie Xunnelton, King wood & Fairchunce railroad,' was in the city yesterday. He registered r.t tho McLure house and was visited there by an Ixteu.iqenceu reporter shortly aftur dinner. Mr. Martin had just finished a good meal and seemed at peace with the world and himself, tho effect being to heighten and increase the natural geniality that is an important and pleasant fuctor in his niiikc-up. Preston is ono of tho wealthiest and most progressive of the back counties of West Virginia. It has an assessed valuation of nearly four millions and the actual value of tho cnuntv's taxable property is estimated at about twice that amount. About one-third of tjie county is cleared and under cultivation and the land so worked is very fertile and gives good crops of all the grains and fruits raised in the agricultural eections, and the farmers of the counjv are taking a great pride in tho quality of tho bori.es and cattle they raiso. Within tho jmst few yours a new era in the stock raising business has begun. The farmers are giving attention to the brcedingof flue iioresand cattle, and ti>ilav they aro shipping to tho eastern niarkets'us line cattle and horses as arc * taken out of any county in tho State. They find that it pays to raise only the best* and they are being rewarded by being nblo to get more money for their pruduct than can bo had for common stock that costs as much to raise. Tho beat part of tho county is not in sight of the railroad, and one forms a rather bad impression by popping through it over tho Baltimore 6: Ohio road. The farming land lies back from the railroad, and oniv the timber and coal aro to be < ?"... . ?,? Bl'CU IIUII1 VUU UUUIO. UUllWIIIUiK tuu present crop prospects, there will Ijo good yields of everything but possibly grass, and that will bo short, owing to thu drouth of the early spring. AX IMPORTANT INDUSTRY* lint the farmer is not tho most important citizen of Preston county, nor is farming tho most important industry. Timbering, though it has only been eaoriei} on extensively for a few years, has outgrown all the other industries in the section. The timbering industry in tho vicinity of Kingwood depends almost entirely upon the Tunnclton, Kingwood & * Fmrchance railroad. This is an institution peculiar to the section in which it is found and is one that is iiot duplicated anywhere. U is a narrow gauge, a little more than ten miles in length and runs from the Baltimore & (Jhio at Tuunelton to Kingwood. The part that Fairehance represents iu thu name is yet to be built, though tho owners of the roadfeel confident that they will bo able iu a few years at most to make the road a standard gauge throughout and extend it to Fairchanco, Pa. Tho distance from KitiL-wood to 'Fairehance is a little less thnn thirty-tivpmilea and the road between those points would pass through as good hardwood timber as is to no found anywhere on the globe, and through a region undurlaid throughout with the saino vein of coking coal as that from which the celebrated Austen coke, made at the A us tea mines, near Xewlmrg, is made. But the greatest advantage would be in the connection with the Pennsylvania railroad system to be had at l-Vn li.uico. T i \ I.P.OAD. This road ww ,i -ned January S, 1SS8, and is owned o.'itircly by local stockholders. To-day thero is not n cent of incumbrance <>f any kind upon the roaiL and it in fairly will equipped, too. It has three locomotivos, two coaches, 0110 caboose and eighteen freight cars. A passenger train makes two round trips <1 o!!? .khI <lio fwirrht. trnins run na ninny'ami as often as possible, so that the rivtilnV time of the passenger trains is cleared. The road is now carrying an average of one hundred and eighty tons of freight daily or 540,000 tons a year. The freight carried is principally timber, cross tics, tan baric, staves and cooperage. Tile timber industry is growing very rapidly and the road will linve to lyaku provisions to increase its fuclllticn, as the freight offered is in excess of the carrying capacity. When tho road first began it had but ono locomotive to haul everything. Ncnv it has thrco, and a fourth ordervd. Tho passenger tratKc is quite extensive ion, and now amounts to about-100 a : t :ith. The timber carried is nlmiist i vlusivcly hard woodj oal: being the ..of variety. Besides oak, largo qur '.'". a of cherry, a6h and iuckory an* K"; - out, mm come walnut it shipped, though its value has caused it tn bo more generally sought alter. Along the line, the Austcii'voln of coal and heavy beds ol' tire clav are found, and ironoro of pood quality is plentiful. Tiieao are not worked, oxce])t the coal, and that only (or local consumption. TIIB TOWS OF KIXGWOOD. Kingwood is a town of about 1,030 inhabitants, beautifully located among the mountains and in a most healthful climate. It has attained considerubio reputation as a summer resort within the past three or four years and now bus four good hotels. Lust year quite a number of families spent the summer there and tho prospects are lliat a larger number will spend the outing season there this year. The air is pure and pleasant, and tho town is above the fugs that are ao diengroe.iblj at many of the summer resorts.

During the war, it tilled its quota every time a call was made for troops, and there was never a drafted man taken from the county. When the vole was takon on tho ordinance of secession only sixty votes were cast in favor of it. -Mr. Martin was pleased that thero was no boom in Klngwood.

The council committee on (irp department ?cnt up to Pittsburgh yesterday morning to gut pointers for the new Vigilant engine hofise. Tnevgot home last night. Last evening's 1'ittshurgh Chronicle- Tdryrapli said: The fame of tho Pittsburgh fire alarm office is spreading. This morning a delegation from Wheeling, consisting of Chief Haley, of the fire department; Citv Clerk" Fee, Charles P. Hamilton, building superintendent; Mich.-.ei Bailey nnd William Marsh, tho toby manufacturer, visited the fifth door of City Hall and inspected the apparatus there. Chief Haley said: "We are thinking of makingncliange in oifr style of doing business, us we have tlio direct system and it is a little out of date. At e are going to inspect tho systems in voguoin several cities both cast and west, aud will adopt the one we consider the best. For my own part I fail to see how tho service could be improved on in this city, as you have one pf the most complete arrangements I have yet seen. "There is onothing I notice, though," ho continued, "that isagainstgood work, and that is your overhead wires. Wo have nothing like theeoinplicationsthat exist here, and yet the people are continually at us to have them removed, and we intend doing it shortly. The telegraph and telephone coinpanics here should bo compelled to pluco their wires underground anil do it at once, or great damage is likely to result." SuperintcndcntllainiUonsaid: "Your strike here, whilo it has been a drawback to your city, has proved a great benefit to us. It has given us tho services of a large number of yourbestcarpenters and bricklayers, and tho result ih we aro having an exceptionally good building year. In fact we are going so rapidly we find it impossible to obtain brick 'and stone enough to keep pace with the work of the men. I have been scouring the country for the past two weeks trying to arrange for a continued supply of theso materials. I was obliged to refuse over S50.000 worth of work, in the psst ten days, bccause I could not obtain the nccessary supplies." Mr. Marsh indulged in a brief talk on tho tobacco trade. He remarked: "Last year wo manufactured over 10,000,000 tobies, and this year expect to do about one-third better. Our t&do tt not confined now to Pittsburgh and Wheeling, but ns citizens of these two places emigrate East and West, they introduco our goods to those markets. Men accustomed to smoking tobies do not feel at home with a cigar in their mouth, and no matter where they go, if they cannot find their accustomed smoke, they are so determined to have it they writo or telegraph for some. As a result, wo ship all over tho United States now, wnere ten years agonvo were utterly unknown outside of Pittsburgh and Wheeling." THE NEW HAVEN" DIRECTORS On Triul for Ucntiiig Their I'unscugcr Cnrs With Stove*. New York, June 24.?The trial of tho New Haven raiirohd directors for misdemeanor in heating their cars with stoves instead of steam was continued to-day.

Counsel mnUo a motion to uis>alss (lie indictment us to each defendant. Judge Van Brunt said he was still of tlie opinion that 110 man could he made to commit a crime. The directors of a railroad were co-scrvnrits ami agents with the car builders and others, and the New York & New Haven railroad alone was responsible. The court here tqok a recess. The court finally dismissed all the defendants but Mr. Clark. AtO o'clock this evening the jury, after consideration, acquitted President Clark.
