twice the value Of the banking capital OF
the country every year, and would give
every man in the country happy home In
q few years. And this brings rs to the
treating habit" :
This the speaker denounced in unmeas-
ursd terms, giving illustrations Of how the
habit worked, and what il cost, and tell
ing several pleasant little anecdotes.
He said that under the law the saloon
had as much right to exist as had the dry
goods store or the drug store. 1t had the
right under the law; but was it moral
right? That was the question which was
forcing itself upon the American people,
and which they must meet in the near fu'
ture. He closed by appealing to bis hear
ers to disregard the personal liberty cry:
There was nothing in it. People could
always have all the liberty they wanted to
do right, out no man ever had any right or
liberty to do wrong. And selling liquor
was both q wrong and crime.

A SERIOUS RIOT
IN WHICH HALF A DOZEN WHEELING
- MBN FIGURE.
One Of Them Shoots Citizen Of Tsylosown
Through the Heart "A very
Lively Time.

There was big trouble out at Tsylors-
town, last night.
The staid little oil town was the scene
of a regular riot, in which half dozen
Wheeling men, whose identity Is little
uncertain as yet, were implicated in the
affrsy, and one of them is charged with
murder.
There is no telegraph Office open at Tsy-
lorstown after dark, in the evening, and
a. consequence details of the strife were
msagre, and hard to get, but the following
story is believed to he correct in its main
outlines:
About eight o'clock in the evening q
party of six Wheeling men, on hunting
expedition, drove into the town and halted
in front of Anderson & Buchanpen's store.
Two of the men were full and lying in pic
turesaue attitudes in the vehicle, in q
drunken sleep. The. vehicle was
drawn by an old gray horse,
and the general appearance Of the
rig excited spirit of fun in the minds Of
a couple of dozsn citizens who where
standing about the store, and they began
to 'guy" the Wheeling visitors unmerei-
fully. This was resented in kind, and
one or two of the men got out Of the wa
gop, one of them saying he could whip
any - in the crowd. He struck at c.
B. Hams once or twice, aud was finally
knot ksd down by that gentleman. Hams
then left, going through neighboring store
around the back way. The
row was continued by Others,
however, and finally Hanns got
into it again, and downed one
of the Wheeling men. In return he
was struck between the shoulders with
big stone, and knocked out. Stones were
then thrown right and left, and the
Wheeling men, getting the worst Of it, ran
for the wagon and got their guns. One OF
them took a snap shot at Ham, but
missed him and shot man named Staub,
a livery stable keeper, who lives either IN
Claysville, through the heart, killing him
instantly.
What followed is little obscure. The
crowd seem to have captured one Of the
hunting party, and to have taken him
before Justice, but in some way or other
it is thought the rest got away, two board
ing a freight train and coming to this city.
Three of the men are said to be named
Geo. Anderson, Peter Williams and j..
johnson, but the names are fictitious.
The police, late this morning, claimed to
know one or two of the parties, and arrests
will doubtless be made to-day.
The affair created tremendous excite
ment in Taylorstewn, and the entire pop
ulation was soon on the streets.
A buggy was sent over to Claysvil!e for
Stsub's wife, and she arrived at Taylors-
town soon after the shooting. Two OF the
men who succeeded in making
their escape boarded the freight
train at West Alexander, giving
the conductor half. a.dollar to bring them
to Wheeling. They got off at Chapline
and Sixteenth streets, got a drink in the
Arlington saloon and then disappeared.
Two or three guns were broken in the row,
they having been used as clubs.

THAT NOMINATION.

The Dovensr Men Up and 10 Arms Against
Their Deceivers.
There were lots of Republicans in the
city who didn't sleep we'll Las. night. They
we're friends of Capt. B. B. Dovener, and
they were shouting mad because the Cap
tain hsd been taken in and done for by the
combination. At least, that is the way
they expressed it, and from their forcible
manner there was no room to doubt what
they said. The Captains warriors-and
there are many of them-have already be-
gun to sharpen mp their scalping knives,
and if they are prevented from indulging
in massacre, it will be because some tall
promises are to be made or some remarka-
BILE ISM oothing over" done.
But will promises have any effect with
the Captain, after the record Of the past
two wears, or will his ruffied feathers be
smoothed? These are questions that are
agitating the minds Of many Republicans.
When the news came from the Congress
sional Convention at Olarksburg yesterday
that Yves Atkinson had been nominated,
Republicans and Democrats were surprised
alike; and there is no denying the fact that
the news fell very flat among the former,
while the latter smiled in their sleeves and
really felt sorry for their friends, the enc
my. There was lots of quiet but genuine
cussing going on in portions of the Repub.
lican ranks, while in other portions the
cussiDg was open and sbove-board.
Last evening the streets were filled with
prominent men of both parties discussing
the result of the convention, and the great
est interest was manifested, which was
greatly due to the fact that the nomination
of Mr.. Atkinson was in the nature of q
very great surprise to the majority of peo-
pie who pretended to have any opinion as
to the result. The diversity of opinion IS
to the strength of the nominee was very
noticeable. On the one hand the Repub-
licans were divided on the question, some
considering the nomination strong snd
others the weakest that could have been
made. Like opinions were expressed by
some Democrats, although all were salts
fed and felt confident that Pendleton
would achieve glorious victory.
1t is now generally conceded that the
whole thing was fixed up in advance, and
that Dovener was doomed man before he
went into convention. The story goes
that the Prohibitionists were the powers
that be, and proposed to the controlling
Republican faction that if they nominated
Atkinson, they would not place candi-
date in the field. This comes from good
authority, and several Prohibitionists said
last evening that the nomination suited
them and that they would not now make
a Congressional nomination.
The fight is on now and we shall see
what we shall see, but we predict trouble
when Capt Dovener and his forces return
to- day.

A CONFERENCES PROBABLE.

The Baltimore and Ohio and Its Contem-
plated Improvements.
There is = great deal of talk in the diree'
ton of resumption Of negotiations be
tween the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company and the City Council, looking tG
the acquisition, by the former, of route
along the south bank of the creek, and II
is expected the Council, at its next meet,
ing, will take some action, probably
directing the Railroad Committee TO have
another conference with the officials OF the
company.
The railroad corporation seems to mean
business this time, every official spoken "a
on tine subject talking very freely OF the
homes aud intentions Of the Company,
the city will but give them another chance.
Yesterday General Manager Clements was
at the City Hall, and took away with
him copies of the ordinance prepared last
winter, when negotiations were IN pro-
gress, and also several documents OF
kindred nature.
In conversation with REGISTER repor-
Ter. high official of the company spoke
enthusiastically of the outlook, and seemed
20 think the city and the company would
have no difficulty in reaching sn agree
ment. He SAID the company would be
willing, and in fact was desirous OF re-
moving its track entirely from Sixteenth
and Seventeenth streets, thus sbolishing
big nuisance to the people, and . large
item of expense to the company, and IN
ratnrn would run its line along the creek,
erect q large new depot, etc.
