A FUSIONIST DONE UP.
w. f. Chiffon Lays Fusionist :. G. Bur
dett Flat Oh His Back.

Special Tlegrdm to the Register
BRAXTON c. H., October 11.-W. f.
Chiffon and s. c. Burdett, the former the
Democratic nominee for the State Senate
from the Ninth District, the latter fusion
exponent, engaged in joint discussion at
this place. They had quite large
turnout of both Democrats and Republi-
cans. Burdett received the worst punish,
ment at the hands of Chiffon, that has
been visited upon a poor erring mortal
for long time. Burdetts speech
fell like wet rag, while Chilton's was re,
ceived with the widest enthusiasm. AZ
ter the speaking Chiffon was accorded an
ovation. The crowd, regardless of party,
poured in upon him to shake hands.
Quite q number of Republicans expressed
themselves as being quite well satisfied
with the chastisement Chiffon had given
the Fusionists, and declared that no such
mongrels should receive their support.
The joint discussion was worth fifty votes
to him. Our Republican brethren
are very much down in the
mouth, while the Democracy is ju
bilant. Burdett feels his wounds sorely
and has been unusually quiet ever since
the meeting They have learned one
thing: That though fusion principles e,
may 10 to still hunt on, they won't stand
discussion before sensible and thinking
people. Chiffon is making a spirited can
yass of the entire district He has zone
through Nichols and Webster and filled
three appointments in this county. He
has made friends everywhere, and will
continue to do so when ever he goes. He
and Burdett will have another joint discus,
sion tomorrow at Strange Creek, but as
the latter got all the spirit kicked out OF
him to-day hispart of it will be extremely
lame
Goff is billed to speak in this county
shortly, and we are in hopes Brannon may
meet him. BraxtOn will swell its former
vote for him considerably.

WANTED: CANDIDATES.
The Republicans at Clarksburg Have
Trouble In Fiading Men to Run.

Trouble In t1Hdtng Men To Kun.
CLARKsBURG, W. VA, October Ito
day the Republicans held their convention
in this city to nominate county officers
As usual, it was snoisy show, and one in
which but little harmony was indicated.
Col. 7. s. Spates was called to the chair,
and Editor Richards acted as secretary.
After the report of the committees the
convention proceeded to nominations,
which proved an amusing side
show and menagrie to the spectator. For
the House of Delegates the name of John
Ruhl WAS presented, but he declined
peremptorily. Col. Henry Raymond was
then nominated by acclamation. 1t was
now apparent that it would be difficult to
find another man who would be willing to
take the field, especially in the face of the
fact that the Hon. John. ]. Davis
and James II. Hurry, Esq,
the Democratic nominees, will unques-
tionably be elected. Mr.. 7. S. Spates was
then nominated and emphatically declined.
The names of ). X. Harrison. NJ. e.
Holmes, ThOs w. Harrison, A. G. Moore,
b. d Rider, A. ]. Lodge and MeSsrs.
Kerns and Lawson were put in nOmina-
ton, but each name was withdrawn
promptly. The names of A. l.. Hustead,
JOS. Taylor and w. II. Fleming were
then placed before the convention, and
the vote resulted in the nOmina-
ton of Fleming, who also de-
clined to serve. Mr.. Holmes then con-
sented to serve and was nominated. Much
dissatisfaction exists, particularly rs
Stephen Bennett, Greenbacker, pre-
Sented by those in favor Of fusion, for
Commissioner of the County Court, was
badly defeated by man by the name OF
Maxim, who was defeated for the same
position two years ago. Taylor did not
receive single vote in the convention
although his name was presented by a
supposed friend. The whole matter looks
to be failure, rs Goa', Maxwell, Hay
mOnd and Holmes are all away from
Clarksburg and the country people are
not represented. II is thought that the
Democrats will have walk-Oyer.

Special telegram to the Regiaer.
MoUNDsvILLE, October 11.-Circuit
Court assembled here in regular session
to-day. The grand jury was impanelled
and given in charge by His Honor, Judge
George E. Boyd, who commented on the
recent murder of Sergeant Thatcher by
johnson, and directed the jury to make
full inquiry into that matter in eonnec-
ton with their duties.
There are over one hundred witnesses
summoned to appear before the Grand
Jury, and it is thought the retailers Of
liquors will have their actions reviewed
and passed upon by the court in the
sahpe of indictments.
VIM. NJ. Miller, who to-day completed
term OF three years in the peniten-
tiary was brought into court to answer
on information Of Prosecuting Attorney
Meighhan, charging that the prisoner had
been convicted and served four terms in
the penitentiary. The first term was on
charge of felony committed in Harrison
county, TO which the prisoner plead
guilty on October 5, 1871, and served out
his term of three years; on June l, 1876
he was tried and found guilty of "a second
otfense in the same county, and sentenced
to serve q like term of three years. The
third term was for tive years Cor which he
was tried and found guilty on October 1s,
1881, in the county of Lewis. On March
3, 1884, he plead guilty to felony in
Marion county, and was sentenced to three
years, which term after deducting time
for good behavior expired to-day. The in
formation of the States Attorney having
recited the above facts asked that the
said Miller be sentenced to q further con-
finement in the penitentiary because OF
three convictions having been had for
felony. The court assigned Captain Girls
well as council for the prisoner who moved
to quash the information. The court
overruled the motion and sentenced
Miller to the penitentiary for life, The
prisoner is apparently about 30 years old,
and looks like the incorrigible criminal
that he seems TO be.

A Railroad Seeking to Enforce Subscription
For Stock.
An important principle is involved in
the case now being tried in Common Pleas
Court, at Wooster, in which the Wheeling
& Lake Erie road seeks to collect back
subscriptions for the construction of that
road. In 1871 money was subscribed in
Orrville for that purpose, but the project
was dropped in 1873, owing to the business
panic, and remained in dormant state
until 1882. New subscription books were
then opened and as many Of the old sub
scribers induced to transfer their stock from
the old to the new as possible. Many re-
fused, however, and the Wheeling & Lake
Erie Railroad Company having gotten into
their possession the old books, are now
instituting suits for collection, test trial
being now in progress against Stephen b.
Schrock for $50.
