better suited to his tastes generally. There
is net much difference in the salaries OF
the two offices, both of them being worth

man who is well known in this city. lie

her TO dances and the many fairs during

he would marry mere. Up TO the first OF

young men, supposed to be among the
most intelligent in the city, had enticed
her into q saloon we'll out on State street,
where, according to her story, they drugged
her and then committed the most horrible
assaults upon her. II she recovers her
mind sufficiently these young villains will
pay dearly for it.
On the l:lj train this afternoon the

ARTHUR'S TACTICS.
A Plan TO Slip in when the Fight is
Bitter.


Bitter.
WASHINGTON, March 20.-A Massach"-
setts politician recently called at the White
House and told Mr.. Arthur, be could Sc.
cure five or elk of the old Bay State dele.
gates for m at the Chicago convention.
The President replied that be did not wish
him to do anything OF the kind. He
thought the Massachusetts delegates would
if left alone all vote for Mr.. Fimuuds on
the first ballot and then swing around to
Arthur on secoud ballot. This would be
more desirable in the judgment of Mr..
Arthur than to have a few OF the
votes on first ballot. Mr.. Arthur,
according to the best authority, is
working and laying all Of his plans to
make himself the second choice of the con-
vention. He does not expect that nom.
nation will be reached on first ballot and
therefore he will not attempt to make
very strong showing on the opening Of the
convention. Where ever Blaine, Logan or
Edmunds delegates can be induced to
pledge themselves ~ vote fer Arthur as
second choice it will be done. Mr.. Arthur
wishes TO avoid any appearanceo OF introduc-
lug machine politics in his canvass, beliey-
ing that 1t would do him mere harm than
good. BY following out a modest policy
tho President will appear in the convention
in the role of a dark horse, with a power
ful reserve force.

WASHINGTON, March 2J.-There is de
cided ooolness between the friends Of Blaine
and Logan. The latter charge that Blaine
is not acting fsirly; that several weeks ago
Blaine gave Logan a practical assurance
hat he would not be candidate, and that
be would support the Illinois Senator The
Blaine people say that no such assurance
was ever given, and while they still say
Blaine Is not a candidate they hold that he
is not TO blame if his friends throughout
the country go on working up boom for
hims aTbe Washington Post, which,
although nominally Democratic paper, is
considered Blaine organ, has OF late been
anything but friendly to Logan. This is
considered a pretty positive show. 1t is
said by the Logan people that Blaine could
stop the attacks from this anC. other quar-.
ters if he were really friendly. Atany rate,
there is such distrust between the Logan
ard Blaine people that all talk OF all ALI
ance is at an end.

Clash Between Railroad Men and

Poyvr PLEASANT, w. VA, March 70
Last Saturday at Charleston, Judge Jack
son of the United States District Court,
issued an order allowing the Ohio Central
Raihoad Company to stretch wire along
the bridge, which is now building across
the Ohio river at this place, and directed
the Marshal to see that the order Of the
Court was carried out. Yesterday Deputy
Marshal A. G. L'ggett went on the bridge
and partially stretched the wire Iais
morning he found all approaches to the
bridge removed and blrricades erected so
as TO etfectually prevent the Marshal from
advancing with posse Of men. There is
therefore no way he can arrest any one for
resisting, except as he may catch man or
men coming from the bridge to tue SIr
riuia shore. Just how the thing IS going
10 end is problematical. But it looks W If
there was blood on the moon.
