Blue Friday To-Day.
A real bonanza. L. NJ. McGillin Il Co
APoor. DisgruntIed Politician.

The copperhead papers worked them
selves up into an immense agony OF excite
ment over an alleged sermon preached on
Thanksgiving day in Wheeling by Rev. DR..
Smith, Of the N. Z. Church, and denuncia-
tons, malledictions and anathemas were
hurled from all over the land against the
head of that divine. 1t now turns out that
the alleged sermon had its origin in the
excited brain of lying Democratic report
er, and the REGISTER, that was among the
Grst to give circulation to the false report
is now compelled to admit the SANDER
Bellaue Tribrue.
Nobody but one who has an utter disre-
gard for truth ard who loves to lie deliber-
ately and wiRully ard then wallow in his
mi1e could hive penned the above. 1t is a
tissue of falsehood from first to last The
only paper which published the lie, was the
Pittsburg Dispatch, Republican paper and
the lie was sent there by Republican re-
porter. The REGISTER insisted the sermon
was non-partisan and published it to prove
its assertion. The only excited brain" is
the alleged brain of the poor disgruntled,
would-be Radical politician of the Tribune,
who has been in fever of despair ever
since the people decided to turn the rascals
out. Read his editorial, quoted ABOVE, and
then remember that lie is the last resort
of q knaye.

APERMaEENT CLUB.
Under Consideration by the Pfoml-
nent Democrats.
A Joint Stock Company to Build a
Fine Club House Amoag
the Probabilities.

The questions Of establishing a perma-
nent club and the best manner and method
Of doing so, are being revolved in many
Democratic mind, just at this time and
satisfactory conclusion has not yet been
reached. Last night meeting was held at
the Jefferson Club room and the matter
ANONYMOUSLY discussed; ard though no d.
rect steps were taken, yet the interchange
of ideas will doubtless soon result in some
thing tangible. 1t was and has been agreed
that Democratic club, on the proper basis,
is desirable from party standpoint as well
as from a social point of view.
Much of the united and harmonious
work that carried the Democ-
racy of Ohio county to such
glorious victory in October, may be attrib
uted to the Jefferson Club, and the others
that were the outgrowth oil it. There was
no disagreement on that point and the gen.
eral desirability of well established, per-
manent club is unquestioned. 1t was
called to mind, in this argument, that Dem
ocratic national success was largely due to
the fact that all over the country Demo,
cratic clubs we're organized two years ago,
and in the doubtful states steadily and per-
sistently moulded the opinion that led to
the victory.
The jefferson Club has been conducted
solely by voluntary subscriptions, and Its
rooms and privileges have oeen extended,
without cost, to every Democrat in the
county. That plan will no longer answer
and to agree upon a suitable substitute
was the object of last nights meeting.
Several were discussed, but that which met
with the greatest favor was the revival OF
one that was agitated some months ago,
viz: To form a joint stock company, buy
the site and erect commodious aid perm
ament club house. 1t was held that for $40
600 or $4,000 a building that would
abundantly serve every purpose could be put
up. A three story bnilding would be the
proper thing, leaving the lower one tor store
rooms, the second for large hall and the
third for smaller hall and committee
rooms. Wheeling feels the need, very fire.
quently, of good sized hall and there is
money in an investment in that direction.
In discussing eligible sites, two were
prominently mentioned, the old Atheneum.
property and the present location of the city
building. Both will be sold and either
would answer, the preference being for the
former, on account of its better location.
The plan proposed was to organize joint
stock company, place shares at 800 each,
and raise $4,000, which would be ample.
Several gentlemen thought there would be
no difficulty in finding two hundred Demo
Gratis who would take one share each.
Until some definite action is taken, the
Jefferson Club rooms will be closed, and
there is every prospect the new idea will be
formulated in practical shape within few
days.

THE CHEsAPEAKEs FIRE.
A correspondent writing from Florida has
the following about the electric light
steamer Chesapeake, the fast sidevheel

now on the St John river. This boat was
built BY Sweeney & Sons, of this city: >,

and was astonished to see the. whole rear
mart of the steamer on fire. l I'M
medistely returned and With Mr.. Addison
made preparations for any emergency ina!
might arise. But we were speedily renewed
of any necessity for swimming the iake.
The pumps were put to work, aud after
turning a stream upon the Italians, ana

control. Then it was soon found out that
a large cen of oil had leaked and negro

lines, with cutting OF rates to the lowest
figures. There are two lines under sep

to buy OF or run Of the Chesapeake, but
the latter, we are glad to say, has beaten
them in many hard fought races, and by &C,

by the gentlemanly bearing Of her officers to

OF The Arrest of tho Iowa Couple, In

OF the Arrest of tho iowa Couple, in
wheeling.
The arrest, in Wheeling, of the fleeing
Iowa couple, Mrs. McConkey and Mr..
S,ancliff, had sensational ending in Des
Moines, when they we're arrsigned for trial.
McConkey, the deserted husband, came to
the front, as soon as his wife and her lover
arrived, and has been making desperate ef-
forts TO secure his child. Sancife and the
wife were taken before Justice Eggleston,
for a preliminary hearing. The woman,
when ascending the stairway, handed the
child TO q bystander to carry, when Nc
Conkey. her husband, seized the child and
went Of with it. She screamed and raised
a terrible commoticn, but without avail, as
McConkey declared he should keep the
child. There was big sensation. Stan.
cliffe was rot brought in, as it was deemed
unsafe to do so, so terribly exasperated was
Mr.. McConkey. The examination was
postponed in consequence of the rumpus.
1t is lively affair all around.

A younR SkipDer.

MIN. Protzman had been doing some
work in the shoe:makiug line for certain
railroad hands up the river few miles.
He gnished it last week and on Sunday got
"Toon" Protzman, lad Of l6 or Is sum
mers, to take it up the river to the men who
had purchased it. "Toon" went and
for anything known to the CONTRARY, is
still going. He delivered the boots,
got the money $3.50, turned his
horse loose and started out to do business
on his own hook. The next day he was
seen at Fairmout looking as lively as a
spring chicken. At that place he purchased
q ticket and mounted the morning train for
Wheeling. 1t is conjectured that he has
gone west where he will have q wider field
to labor in, perhaps to Iowa where he has
relatives. The horse came home all right.

Wholesale Attempt at Poisoning in Green

Meager information from Greenbrier
county is to the effect that an outrageous
and devilish attempt at wholesale poisoning
has been made repeatedly on the family of
Mathew Mann, at Font Spring. Several
papers which reached this Office have con-
tanned references to it, and the Anderson
Statesman had thetollowing:
"The second or third attempt has been
made to poison Mr.. Mathew Mann and fam
ily, at Fort Spring. 1t seems that both ar
senic and strychnine have been used, As
yet the guilty party has not been found out.
As soon as trustworthy information can be
furnished, we will give it to our readers,
About thirteen persons were made danger
ously i'll by the dose administered last Mon
day night. 3,
Since writing the above we are informed
that another attempt with strychnine was
made last night. Some of the poisoned
milk was given to dog and killed him ina
