count in the city is not yet complete
but will give the Kearneyites a larger
plurality than anticipated-probably
near four thousand. The non-parti-

overcome this and the workingmen
will elect delegates at large except
two which are both on the non-parti-

| WHEELING. w. Va. June ia
horrible case of attempted wholesale
slaughter has turned up here to-day.
The Monitor Tug and Lumber Com.
pany have a large barge at their yards
which is being repaired, and which is
held in it's position on the stocks by
large ropes and blocks. During Mon
day night some one cut these ropes in
a place where they were covered. and
only the blocks kept the barge in
place. 1t had been determined to
raise the barge with jack-screws this
morning, and it was found not to be
necessary. Had it been attempted. at
least dozen men would have been
instantly killed. 1t is thought b. the
company that the cutting was done
by some men whose wages had been
reduced. and who have been talking
ugly for some time. Detectives are at
work on the case. This is the only
display of anything like labor troubles
in this city this summer.
