Raid Of the Burglars-SOme Old Hands

Court Items-Republican Conven.
Special TO the Register.
ST. CLAIRsvILLE, May 19.-Burglars raided
our town last night The drug store of J.
B. Hoge was entered some time during the
latter part of the night, his safe opened,
and over 500 in money and several notes
stolen. His total loss is over $500. The
safe door was standing open this morning,
but the safe was not injured in the least
Mr.. Hoge states that he locked the safe as
usual last night. If he is not mistaken
abont this the thieves must have known
the combination. The store was entered
through one of the front windows, the sash
being broken and two psnes of glass re-
moved.
Unsuccessful attemps We also made to
enter the grocery store of George Jepson
and the clothing store OF L. T. Hotfner. 1t
is not believed that the burglars are pro-
fessionals, as they stole the tools with
which they removed the glass, from the
shops of Barrett 4 Davis.
This is the first burglary that has oc.
Cured here since the Weir, Williams, Col
lins and Selby gang was broken up few
years ago. George Weir is in the Peni-
tentiary for life for the murder of Sterling
Riggs; Jim Williams is serving three
years term in the same institution; Char
lev Collins is reported murdered by an Ar
iona rough, and Bill Selby is fugitive
from Justice. his last hiding place being in
the city of Wheeling. Our people have no
idea who the perpetrators OF last nights
burglary could have been.
Common Pleas Court convened on Tues
day, but no important cases have yet been
disposed Of The grand jury adjourned
Yesterday morning, and returned eight
true bills of indictment. As some OF the
parties indicted are not in custody, the re-
port has not been made public. The small
number of indictments is attributed to the
administration of Mr.. Pond, under which
our liquor sellers are now doing business.
Two more of our St. Clarsville saloonists,
Joseph King and Martin Fink, have gone
into business again, and we now have four
in operation.
The officials of the ST. Clairsville e North
ern Railroad announce that they expect to
have the road open for business on the 29th
of this month.
The Republican Congressional Conven-
ton will be held here on the 2lst of June.
The fight for the nomination will be long
and bitter, but in the end DR.. Updegraff
will be re.nominated. There will be any
amount of bad blood stirred up before it is
all over.

WASHINGTON, May l9.-There was quite
stir lastnight over a reported difficulty be-
tween Senator Williams of Kentucky, and
Representative Blackburn of the same
State. The story has got into the papers,
and is narrated so as to imply that the diff
Guilty remains unsettled There is excel
lent authority for stating that the matter
vas fully settled by the friends Of the par
ties, who agreed that the correspondence
should be mutually withdrawn. Both gen.
tlemen are men of honor and spirit, and it
is subject Of general regret among their
friends that any misunderstanding should
have occurred between them.
They had personal interview to-day in
the Senate cloak room, and the affair may
he regarded rs ended. This amicable all
iustmcnt is very hard on the sensational
class of Washington correspondents.
II i now understood the effort will be
made, tomorrow. in the House, to consider
the Mackey-O' Connor contested election
case. The Democrats threatened to tilibus-
ter upon its consideration, and in such an
event continuous session, running
through sunday. is not improbable. q.

ton. Mr.. Jones referred TO the efforts that
operators were making TO prevent the ap-
proach OF the old miners to the darkies.
He did not intend TO intinidate any OF the
new comers, but thought there were plenty
