Latter From PetersburgPETERSBURG, West Virginia, Aug. 30. EDITOR REVIEW:

As per promise I pen you a few lines from the east side of the Alleghany. I left Hooslerdom on August 20 via. the Big Four to Cincinnati. Here I changed cars for Deer Park, Maryland, via. Parkersburg, on the Ohio river, andCroftonod the B. & O.K.R. The growing crops of all kinds do not look very promising east of Cincinnati. There is no trait in sight of the railroad and the corn is not what an Indlanian would call a half crop.

From Parkersburg where we crossed the Ohio river, the country is very mountainous. Afield of corn containing live acres Is considered a 'arge crop. From Crofton to Deer Park, Maryland, one could not tell much about what the crops looked like, for we were running at lightning speed and under the ground, through tunnels. This is a great place for a summer resort. It is located on the top of the Alleghany mountains. It took two engines to pull a train of seventeen cars up the mountain. But we did not need any pulling to go down grade a distance of 15 miles to Keyser. On coutiug down the mountain the conductor told us we were goiug at a rate of 48 miles an hour.

From Keyser I struck a bee line for Petersburg, Grant county, a distance of 40 miles, hy land. Over the mountains and rocks this is quite a sad looking place. The land marks of the late war are still visible.

On last Sunday I took a drive within man from the house where my great-grandfather, Joseph Walker, lived over one hundred years ago. Yesterday I visited the farm where my great-grandfather, George Stlngley, lived over one hundred years ago, and I have got the knife out of an old cutting box that Is said to be one hundred and twenty-five years old. Farms join each other and still remain in the hands of people that were related to them.

There is some excitement-here over a new proposed railroad from Tucker county, a branch of the West Virginia Central to this place. The engineers are said to be in town to-night, There is also considerable of a stir here over the prospect of finding gold. There Are men here from California and have investigated in several of the different mountains. They pronounce it good.

There is no level land here and a stranger from a level country coming here would suppose the people were fixing to move and had their land all rolled up in a bundle and were going to take It with them- The water here is good, as there are many flowing springs. This is said to be the finest mountain scenery east of the Mississippi river.

I have visited Greenland gaps where the rocks'are hanging over 700 feet, I am told. I am going to try to climb them to-morrow with one of my cousins.

A stranger coming here would suppose he was in snake heaven, as there area great many mountain rattlers. A man gave me a pair with twenty-four rattles and a button. It can be seen when I return.

There is a spring here that ebbs and flow? every fifteen minutes. I will visit it in the morning.

There is no fruit here this season. I have traveled over two hundred miles by land in the mountains. I am going up on the top of the Alleghany in a scope of country called the plains, or the Alleghany deserts. The people go up there In squads, on account of the wild

animals, panthers, wolves, bears and deer. There is no timber, and it is nothing but rocks, laurel and huckle berry bushes and large snakes of all kinds. There is no way of getting up with a team so we will have to walk seven miles up the mountain.

Well I suppose I had better call a halt as I will not have anything to tell the people when I return. O. W. STISGI.'KV.

A Convention of llepubllcan Clubs In Wiscongln—Governor Humphrey Renominated In Kansas—Nominations for Congress.

PLATFOKM OF T1IE TAX REFORMERS. NEW \ukiv, Sept. 4.—At the SingleTax convention Wednesday Henry Qeonje read the platform which had been prepared by the committee appointed for the purpose. The main points were that all men were created alike, with certain inalienable rights. No one shall bo permitted to hold property without a lair return. There shall be no tax on the products of labor and all revenues for State and municipal purposes shall bo raised by a single tax upon land values, irrespective of improvements. One clause of the platform excited a long discussion. It proposed that the telegraph, railroad, water and gas supplies of the "Country should bo under the control and manipulated b^' the local, State or National Government as expediency might demand. Several amendments and proposals were offered, but' they were finally withdrawn and the platform was adopted as read, by Mr. George.

A dinner and reception were given Henry George at the Brighton Beach Hotel Wednesday night, and 510 enthusiastic single-tax men and women were prosent, most of whom had attended the conforunce of the National SingleTax League, which has been in session at Cooper Union since Monday last. Ia his talk Mr. George said: "Mr. Blaine can do no bot'.or thins than inelude In his scheme of reciprocity the Australian colonies. Australia t\ uuld accept it and

CiKKAT FLOODS IN AUSTRIA. PRAQUK, Sept. 4.—The booming of cannon at 1 o'clock Wednesday morning announced to the inhabitants of this city that there was an alarming rise in the river Moldau, which flows through Prague.

Hundreds of boats are in use.

MORE FIRMS INVOLVED^

Kffteet of the Pottor-Lovpll Failure »t ISoston. BOSTON, Sept. 4.—In consequence of tho Potter-Lovell failure somo firms which they had been carrying aro in financial straits. Tho paper of the Worcester steel works has gono to protest and they may be obliged to assign. Their liabilities aro 81,250,000. George M. Rico, tho president, owns the entire share capital of the company. He is also identified with several trust and insurance companies of Worcester. He retired from business some years ago with a fortune. An unsuccessful effort wa3 made last December to sell this company in London. Potter, Lovell & Co. have carried the concern for two years, Mr. Rico indorsing the company's paper. The steel works are said to owe Potter, Lovell & Co. about £3,000,000.

Searey, Foster & Bowmaj, manufacturers of sowing silk and machine twist, are said to bo badly involved in the affairs of the Pottor-Lovell Company. It is officially announced that they will assign to-day. Tho liabilities are SS'25,000, and the nominal assets SI, 100,000. The assignees of Soarey, Foster & Bowman will DO woston JJPWIS, president of tho Manufacturers' National Bank George S. Bullens, president of the National Revere Bank, and A. W. Stearns, president of the Lawrence National Bank. The Pottor-Lovell Company handled tho firm's paper to a large extent, and in this way the firm's affairs became entangled with those of the company. The Eureka Silk Manufacturing Company is closely identified with the firm, and it is thought that if the latter is in trouble the former must also bo involved. rnsseri the Century Mark.
