nor Mr.. STEMS name will be before the
convention, and It is understood that
the other candidates are scheming to de-
feat Mr.. Steenrod, who leads them all,
in the convention. Mr.. Egerter was in
consultation with Mr.. Stein at the lat
ter's home at Fulton most of the day
yesterday, and from this fact is drawn
the inference that Mr.. Stein is TO try TO
turn his delegates over TO Mr.. Egerter.
There was an earlier report that Mr..
Steenrod was TO have STEMS strength in
addition to his own, which would have
assured his nomination on the first
ballot.
Mr.. Franzheim has demanded re-
count OF the votes in Madison district.
The returns give Fee, an Egerter dele
gate, two majority over Mr.. Franzheim's
brother, Harry. People who kept tally
OF the vote say the clerks made a mis-
take and that there was q tie between
Fee and Franzheim.
A recount has also been demanded in
Webster district. The Executive Com
mittee will meet at 1880 a. M. to-day to
make these two recounts.

the Fourth ward. They were Larry
0'Day, William Ellingham and Charles
Schmidt. It is charged by the friends
Of Steenrod that Postmaster Simp-
son made n personal fight against
Messrs. X. Robertson, Robert Peccari
and Frank Smith, who ran in the inter.
est OF Mr.. Steenrod, and thus defeated
them. There is rumor that Mr.. Simp-
son warned Mr.. Steenrod not to run Mr.
Robertson as a delegate.
In Clay district the Steenrod delegates
F. P. Jepson, George S. Feeney ant
Rich Donavan, were elected.
In Webster the delegates are William
ShaHer, for Myles, and John White ant
John Lane, for Steenrod.
In Clay district the nominees for dis
trict officers are:
County Commissioner, Thoma
0'Brien.
School Commissioner, NJ. Pollock.
Justices OF the Peace, George Arkl

MAYOR PURDY REMAINS.
An Important Decision by Judge Boyd
Marshall Circuit Court.

An Important Decision by Judge Boyd In
Marshall Circuit Court.
The following is a copy Of Judge
Boyd's opinion in the case of the State
by L. L. velton vs.. L. B, Purdy, decided
at the present term of the Circuit Court
at Moundsvillc. The proceeding was
in the nature OF writ OF quo lrdrrdnto
against Mr.. Purdy to GUST
him from the office OF Mayor
of Moundsville. 1t was based
upon the allegation that the election
under which he holds is void, by reason
of having been held on the wrong day.
The original charter fixed the election
in May, and Judge Jacob, upon petition
OF five citizens, as provided by statute,
changed the day OF election to some time
| in March. The relator claims that the
action OF Judge Jacob was void because
| it is the exercise of legislative powers,
and not judicial. The case will be ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court.
Judge Boyd said:
"The incorporation OF cities and towns,
or the amendments Of their charters, is
the exercise OF legislative power" Sec
ton 30, Article 6 Of the Constitution.
The Constitution forbids the Legisla-
ture from passing local or special laws,
incorporating or amending the charter
OF town.
The Constitution requires the LegisIa-
ture to pass general laws for such pur-
poses.
In exercising this duty, the Legislature
is compelled to delegate its powers, us to
the incorporation OF towns and the
amendment of their charters, to either
the Federal or Executive departments Of
the Government, there being but three
departments. Hence arises conflict be-
tween the aforesaid provision OF the
Constitution and Article OF the Consti-
tuition, which declares that the three de-
partments OF the government shall be
kept distinct. =,
Which one of these provisions should
the Legislature obey-the negative or
the positive onef
Without any provision in the Consti:
tuition OF 1868 similar to section 80 oil
article Q, requiring the Legislature to
pass general laws for the incorporation
OF towns, the Legislature did pass a gem
eral law for suchipurpOse, and ,under, 1t
many OF the towns Of the State were in;
corporated. [Code OF 1865, chapter AL
This power was conferred upon the
Judicial department.
In like manner the Legislature has
conferred upon the Executive depart
ment the incorporation Of manufacture
ing, mining, insurance, telegraph, hotel,
express companies, gas works, water
works, building associations rail-
roads, etc.
This system Of legislation has grown
up regardless OF article 5, requiring the
three departments Of Government to be
kept seperate. ,,.
Now, however, the present Constitu-
ton has provision which positively en-
Joins upon the Legislature the enact,
ment Of such laws. It might be stated
that the incorporation OF cities and
towns with population less than 2,OOO,
Is the exercise OF Judicial or Executive
powers, rs the Legislature may declare.
In such case the Legislature does not
delegate its power, for it has not by the
Constitution any power to incorporate
such cities and towns.

that 5000 kegs were dispensed joke
or an exaggeration, but l believe it is
neither. l have it on good authority
that one candidate gave out 100 kegs in
one day. Multiply this by seven can

Aloft and allow on those perfect breasts Of

II grooming across the midnight's peaceful spaces
song that came out OF chaos through time to

And under the bow the lucent rippIes break
IN shapes that are fair, in rhythm that is sweet
beyond measure;
Til the heart is full and no more its thirst can
slake
In the fathomless fountains Of Joy where the
sea makes pleasure
Altar where the waves and the sky together are
growing,
Out of the jaws Of night with muttering roar,
Comes q trenuloos thunder, a sound as of sea
kline lowing;
The voice Of the deep that is sullenly shifting
the shore
Adown from the measureless mountain Of sails

When the starlight falters and melts and is too
faint to glisten,
a sailor lad murmurs old world ballad of love;
And the sea and my heart are silent and trem-

PAIR OF DANCING TURKEYS.

Device of q Cruel but Ingenious Bar
keeper to Attract Custom.
In saloon ON Franllford avenue a reporter
saw, the other day, two turkeys dancing to
the strains of an orguinette. 1t was strange
sight to see the ungainly birds bobbing up and
down, first on one foot, then on the other.
then up with both feet, circling and wheeling
around each other, chasseing and changing
sides, keeping perfect time with an orguinette
turned by the hand of the barkeeper.
All the onlookers were mystified, while the
barkeeper grinned and raked in the nickels
which were paid over the bar by the amused
crowd.
Though the turkeys apparently kept time
10 the music, the reporter noticed that they
danced on when the music stopped, raising
first one foot and then the other, and as they
warmed to their work their steps grew faster
and faster, the musician raising his speed to
keep up with the jumping birds The tur-
Keys, while going through their performance,
were confined in wire cage at the end of the
bar. The cage was about three feet square
and hve feet high and the floor of the cage
was thin sheet IRON.
The reporter, after the crowd went out. in
vestigated the dancing turkeys and discoy
cred the method by which they were taught
Or rather compelled-to move. He found
that the Plan was ingenious, though cruel
They were made to dance by means of fire.
Underneath the sheet iron cage floor there
was shelf set, leaving space Of shout
three inches, into which was fitted an iron
slide. When the man wanted the turkeys "a
dance he would quietly get shovel OF live
Goals from the kitchen stove, distribute them
over the iron slide and slip it into place uu-
der the sheet iron cage floor. aud in five min
