Republican Bull-Dozer.
Thursday last was payday Tor
Thanksgiving day, as the boys term it,
at the Laughlin mill.
Medill 4 Exley have the contract for
building four new houses in Clark's adj
ditiOn.
Hon. Thomas Theaker, of New York,
but formerly resident of Belmont
county, and years ago represented this
district in Congress, was visiting friends
in town, yesterday.
The last Democratic rally, this cam
paign, will be held this evening in Com
mercial Hall. Hon. James A. Norton,
from Seneca county, Ohio, and Hon. +.
b. Eshelman, of Wooster, Ohio, both
excellent speakers, will address the
meeting. Turn out, everybody.
REPUBLICAN BULLDozING.
Here is a sample of the way Republi-
can manufacturers in Ohio bulldoze their
Democratic employees: The Republican
Secretary OF the Buckeye Glass Company
positively refuses their travelling sales
man the privilege of voting on Tuesday
next. Mr.. Hildreth, the very popular
salesman of the above named Company
was on Tuesday last called to his home
in Mansfield, Ohio, to attend to some
private business of importance. AS
he was leaving the office to
go to the evening train TO Bellaire
on his way home, Mr.. Miller, the
secretary Of the company asked him
when he would be back. Mr.. II. re-
piled that as the election was so near
he would like to remain home and vote,
as he did not like TO loose his vote in
times like these. The secretary at once
flew into passion, and replied that be
did not care a d-n about his vote and
that he could not stay that long, but
that he would be back at the factory by
Friday morning without fail, or suffer
the consequences. To the writer it
seems clear case of bull-dozing, as Mr..
III. has worked long and faithfully for
the company, and | have heard Mr..
Miller frequently say that. Mr. III. was
one OF the best and most sue
cassful statesmen he ever knew.
We noticed that Mr.. III. returned this
morning on the early train, looking
weary and worn out, having been COM
PEELED TO ride all Tuesday night TO get
home and all last night to get back by
the specified time or loose his position.
BE it known, also, that Mr.. Hildreth is
stockholder in the company. You
can rely on this as strictly true, as the
writer was an unwilling listener to the
conversation that took place between
them in the office, and il any further
proof is needed, presume neither of
the parties will deny these facts.

Correspondence OF The Register.
Politics are red-hOt over here and
getting hotter all the time. Both parties
are confident of carrying the State, and
guess the chances are about even. The
Republicans started out in the begin
ming of the campaign by claiming the
State by 10000 majority. About two
weeks later they dropped to $1,000.
Next they admitted that Fosters ma
iority would hardly exceed 10000. Soon
after the supporters OF the calico can
didate came down to $1,000; then to TO-
600; then to 5000; then to 5000; and
now they are making piteOus appeals for
their voters to work hard or Foster may
be defeated. The election comes Off
next Tuesday, and everybody is on the
tip-tOe of expectation, waiting for the
result. The State will undoubtedly be
close.
In this county, the indications are de-
cidedlv favorable to the Democrats.
Both parties have worked hard, but in
quite different manner. The work OF
the Republicans has been principally
wind work, while the Democrats have
got right down to business. The Re-
publican organs OF the county are call
ing upon their followers to quit their
boasting and 90 to work. Republicans
decline To risk any money on the result
in this county. 1t will be exciting busi-
ness in Belmont county until the result
is known.
On Wednesday last terrible tragedy
was enacted in Wayne township, in the
Southern part Of this county. A man
named Jas. Powell and another named
Travis were spending the day playing
cards. They got into a quarrel about
the game, and then into fight. Powell
picked up shot gun and struck Travis
over the head with the weapon, break
ing Travis skull, from the effects of
which he is mOmentarily expected to
die. Powell was Immediately arrested
and taken before Justice Samuel +.
Davis, of that township. Powell IN N
gave bail in the sum OF 81 900 for his APP
pearance on yesterday for "A preliminary
hearing. 1t being evident that Travis
must die from the effects of his injuries,
Powell became alarmed at the serious
aspect of the case, and decided to cheat
justice out of its prey. He secured a
rope, went 10 his barn and hung himself
To beam. He was dead when found.
Travis cannot possibly recover.
The Republicans had a meeting here
on Wednesday, which was addressed
by Gen. Joseph Il. Hawley, of Connect
cut, and Allen Miller, of GAINESVILLE.
About 600 or 700 persons attended the
meeting. The procession was mar
shalled by several OF the colored breth-
rem, and this feature so disgusted the
white Republicans that three of them
have declared their intention OF voting
the whole Democratic ticket Besides
these three, know of several other Re-
publicans here who will vote for Ewing,
Mrs. Sarah Turk, widow of John Turk,
deceased, died on Tuesday, and was
buried yesterday.

RAILWAY NOTES.
Items of Interest About Freisht
and Passenger Traffic and
Railroads Generally.

Work on the Northern Pacific, west OF
Bismarck, is now progressing at the rate
OF mile day.
OVER one hundred locomotives are in
course of construction at the Baldwin
Locomotive Works, Philadelphia.
MANY OF the standard-gauge trucks be-
ing placed under the passenger ears
Of the New York, Lake Erie and Wcs-
tern Railroad are provided with paper
wheels.
J. II. WADE and Amasa Stone, Of
Cleveland, Trustees of the Cincinnati,
Wabash and Michigan Railway, have
ordered its sale at Wabash, Indiana, No
vember 3.
The hcartless freight line companies
at Bismarck, upon hearing the news OF
the burning Of Dcadwood, advanced the
tariff to the Hills from 81 TO - per 100
pounds.
ALL sleeping cars now built by the
Wagner Company have boxes in panels
between the windows for the safekeep-
ing of jewels, money and small articles
of value.
Az order has been issued by the Chi
cago and Northwestern Company, regu-
lating the speed of all trains over switch.
es, forbdding trains TO run faster than
fifteen miles an hour.
IT is to be hoped that the boom Of
business which has overtaken most Of
our railroads will enable then TO give us
low rates and cheap fares, notwith-
standing their running expenses are in
creased.
The prospects for another pretty good
sized row about the Cincinnati Southern
railroad are good at the present time,
and fears are entertained that dispute
between the trustees and contractors
may also delay the completion OF the
road.

A CHEROKEE OUTLAW.
After Years Of Crime He Meets
His Fate at Last.

Barker the Cherokee desparado, who
was hunted down and killed near Mus
kogee, in the Indian Territory, last
week, stood at the head OF the lis,
Of Western outlaws. He was Of white
skin, though his blood was tainted and
he claimed Cherokee citizenship. lie
was six feet tall, straight as on arrow
and Of stout frame. Twenty-eight years
of crime (for his life was full OF il from
the cradle) had stamped tiercely upon
his Indian features the marks OF the
daredevil who expected 10 die with his
boots on and with the whistle Of bullets
in his ear His first crime was that OF
wholesale cattle stealing. 80 imperfect
are the laws in the Indian Territory that
Barker and his men rode with free boots
and boldly for many years. Triplet,
hai-brced Cherokee, Scogden, the
Mexican. and Mason, the Texan, were
his lieutenants Men were way-laid,
murdered and robbed by them time and
again. Il is -aid that every citizen Of the
Cherokee country carried special bull
let in his pocket for Barker. The culmi-
Mating atrocity Of the band came about
on the morning OF the 2d OF August
last, when they galloped into the village
of Caneyville, Kansas, and in broad
daylight sacked the place, driving the
residents, men, women and children,
like flock OF sheep, out into the woods.
Two men who resisted were shot through
the heart. Last Thursday ten Chero-
KEGS and two white men caught the out
laws in ambuscadc. Scoglen and Mason
escaped. the twelve rifles crackidg for
Barkers benefit. Barker fell and offered
resistance with the only limp that was
uninjured, the left leg. Ills right leg
and both arms were broken and all
three limbs were amputated shortly be-
fore his death. Triplet crawled of
through corn field, but limping into
the house OF his mother at Ninita on the
following day laid down at her feet and

OF cosmopolitan new settlers comes in
This week two special trains OF inspec-

One Of them contained two members OF
the English Parliament, a brother of the

everyday sample of the cosmopolitan
ism that pours itself ceaselessly into and
thorough this region Of magnificent, un-
paralleled growth. Its swift develop
ment is due to its vast areas of cheap

telligent efforts of It's enterprising peo-
