DEs MoISEs, August 29.-The pharma-

courts the question whether or not the
pharmacy law Of 1880 is still in force At
a recent maeting held in this city they re-
solved to push the case to an early decis-

cute the case. A leading druggist said to
your correspondent to-day that an appeal
had been made to the druggists Of the
State for means to carry on the litigation,
and their response had so far been uneK-
pectedly prompt and liberal. The
attorneys viii be allowed to
decide where the case shall be
made up. No stir has been made in regard
to the matter because they did not care to
thrust their affairs upon the public. Mean.
while, be said, all the best druggists in the
city are selling liquors for medical purposes
under the McHenry decision. No one who

KICKING ON KING eoFF.

Rehoas From the Late Atkinson -Goff Gath
ering- Cali the Royal Son Home from
Maine.
The Wheeling kickers against King GoH
still refuse to be pacifed.
The Intelligencer takes the dose mildly:
1t is little pill for our esteemed contem-
porary.
The sooner King Golf makes visit to
the Nail City the better it will be for her
continued supremacy.
Editors Jacobs, of Wetzel, and Hart, OF
Moundsville and Morris, of Ritchie, figured
as leading Goff boomers.
King Gof's s throne is in immediate dan
ger, unless he paci6es the anti-ringsters In
Ohio county at an early day.
Bill Hubbard was upon the streets OF
Wheeling yesterday, as usual. His late
Waterloo has not affected his balance OF
mind.
The Golf Convention being in charge OF
Boss Atkinson, should have passed prohibl-
ton resolutions. Has the Boss been con-
yerted2
Senator n. B. Scott, of Ohio county, still
kicks against King Gof. 1t is reported that
he will head the bolt which will muzzle the
little god on election day.
King Goff was informed of his nomina-
ton by kilograms Thursday afternoon. Up
TO the hour Of going TO press, this \. A.i ne
has not sent in his resignation.
All the Conventions having been held
the war will now begin in earnest. But SIX
weeks remain until the October election
and nine weeks until the November elec-
ton.
The Republican canvass will now proceed
with increased vigor, with Boss Atkinson,
| Covden. Scofeld and Sterling at the helm.
They have Maxwell and Goff and are
happy.
The ladies of New Martinsville presented
the Democrats with a handsome $25 flag at
the late Democratic Convention. A men
ton of this has been overlooked by the
press.
Archer, of Brooke, the Republican can
didate for the State Senate, has very etfec-
tually killed himself by mixing in the. Con,
gressional fight in the interest OF Gof and
prohibition.
Several of the Republican candidates for
Ohio county offices cursed loud and long on
hearing of King COTS nomination. The
finger of fate is pointing at them and they
know that their doom is already sealed.
The election of Col. Geo. Caldwell, as
chairman of the Congressional Committee,
is direct stab at King Gof and Boss At,
kinson. Caldwell was Hubbards chiei
champion and Gof' bitterest enemy at New
Martinsville.
King GOff had better leave the stump IN
prohibition Maine and come home to look
after his own laurels They are in danger
of being torn from his crown by the Ohio
county kickers who have grown weary OF
bowing down to the little god
Col. Caldwell will not take off his coat
to orgnnize the district for Gof. Boss At
kinson will be the real manager Of the can
vass and travel the district for the little
King, effecting the same quiet organiza
ton that did the work two years ago.
The revolt against King Golf in Wheel

Secretary fOlger

WASHINGTON, August 29.-While the
Democratic and Republican campaign COM
mittees are doing very little for hack OF
necessary money, the Independents OF New
York are reported to be well equipped with
money, and at once wise and liberal IN itsl
expenditure. A Democratic Congressman
who was at Democratic headquarters ~
day, said that the New York Independents
were doing more work than both the old'
committees put together. He said: "The
have had 100000 copies of Carl Schufz
speech printed in both German and Eng
lish, and are distributing it in all directions
NOT only in New York Wisconsin, Ohio
Kansas but everywhere that the German
vote is worth seeking, They have gone
into the work with a will and determina-
ton unequalled by either of the regular or
ganizations, and, taking advantage of their
knowledge Of Republican plans and methods,
are doing all in their power to defeat Blaine
Thet have had large number Of copies OF
the resolutions passed by the Young Mems
independent Republican Club of Brooklyn
printed and are circulating them freely.
The ablest men at the head of the move
meut are giving personal attention to the
ampaign work, and are contributing every
thing that their knowledge and ability and
their money can furnish. They are deter
mined to defeat Blaine and are sparing no
means to secure that end They are work
ing like Trojans, but they are working on
their own hook and independently OF the
Democratic committee Outside Of the
State they Me working among the Germans
chiefly. In the State they are using all Their
power in the way of argument and influence
10 foster the natural antagonism between
the stalwart and Blaine elements, and they
are going to revive Blaine letter which was
published during Folger's campaign fol
governor, in which the Maine statesman ad
vises that the Garfield Republicans of the
State remain at home on election day anC
allow Folger to be beaten. This, it is un
derstood, they will circulate, together with
the statement that Blame sought to detea
Folger because he knew if the stalwarts go
the ascendency in the State he could no
get the support of the machine to secure hi
nomination at Chicago, and they will apPea
10 the stalwarts not to make themselves
tools in the hands Of a man who sacrificed
them once and slaughtered their candidate
to promote his own personal ambition.

Her Death and Various Matrimonial Ex-

Sr. LoUIS, August 29-Further informa-
tion from Ofallon is to the effect that Mrs
Crowther died between and 10 o'clock
last night, after repeatedly stating she killed
Mrs. Cormsck but without giving any reason
for committing the deed. 1t seems to have
been well known, however, that she enter
tanned bad feelings towards Mrs Cormack
growing out Of jealousy, and that she had
several tunes threatened to Kill her. She was
a woman Of forty-eight years, the wife Of
Thomas Crowther, a coal miner, and had
been divorced from the two husbands before
she married Crowther Crowther and she
had lived very unhappy life. Mrs Cor
mack was the widowed sister Of J. B.
Yaneourt, owner and proprietor OF The coal
mine near Ofallan and a politician Of
some local note. She was very highly es-
tetmed lady who lived a retired life short
distance from town, and it does not appear
she was aware that Mrs. Crowther was her
enemy. John A. Lehman, son-in-law of
the suicide says he never knew OF any
trouble between the women. and regards
the affair as very mysterious.
