Several years ago james A. Ridgeway
married the daughter of Commodore Rich
ards, one Of the wealthy and prominent
citizens of this county. After living to
gether for couple OF years the wife left
her husband and returned to her parent,
taking with her their child. Ridgeway
sold out and went West. He remained
there until short time sgo, when he re-
tutnsd to THE city and went to see his wife
and child at Commodore Richards resi-
dence. Upon the pretext that be wanted
TO have the child's picture taken, he
brought it to the city and left on the next
train with it for the West. The child's
mother and grandmother were frantic
with grief, and Commodore Rich.
ards offered Attorney W. B. Archer
81, 900 if he would recover the child. Mr..
Archer put the matter into ths hands of
Chief OF Police Mehep, who wrote more
than hundred letters all over tbs west.
To-day he received letter from one Of the
center counties of Nebraska, saying that
RidgTay lived there and that the child
was with him.
The child's mother is now the happiest
woman in the county, for she confidently
expects TO have the little giIl returned to
her in very short time.

DORR LEFT ALONE.

He Is the Only Democrat That Stands In
the Way OF an EIectIon-Merrlll Votes for
Kenne Yesterday.
Special Telegram TO the Register.
CHARLESTON, W. VA, February l.
The Democrats are slowly but surely
closing up their lines and presenting q
solid frout to the foe. The most notable
proof of this fact was the action of Dele
gate Merrill, of Writ, to-day. Mr.. Mer-
rill has been one of the recalcitrants, aud
has not supported Mr.. Kenns on any pre-
yious ballot. He gave NO intimation Of
an intention to do so until few minutes
before the vote was taken. Then he signi-
fed his willingness to support the caucus
nominee and once more put himself in lire
with the majority of the party. Two bal
lots were taken and on both Of them he
voted for Senator Kenna.
MerrilPs action is almost decisive OF the
fsct of Kenna's triumphat election. Mr..
HAIR. of Marion, will vote with the other
Democrats whenever his vote is necessary
20 a choice. and Dorr is left as the only
strenuous opponent of the caucus nomina-
ti0n.
ALL DEPENDS on D0RR.
All hopes are centered on him now, and it
is confidently believed that he will in the
end submit to the will OF the majority.
Mr.. Dorr was elected as straight caucus
Democrat, from a straight Democratic
District, his friends are 10th to believe that
he will misrepresent his people in this I'M
portant contest.
Besides Merrill's vote, the two ballots
showed no decided changes from preceding
ones
Delegate Smith, of Tyler, was present,
but eight other members of the House were
absent on pairs, the reducing of the voting
strength being renuced to 50, necessary to
a choice ~. Mr.. Kenns received the
votes of all the Democratic mem
bers except Dorr and Harr. Gof
was supported by all the Republicans
except Kirk. Hsrr, Carr and Kirk voted
for ]. w. GOshorn. Dorr voted for John
J. Davis. The result in detail: Kenna,
40: Goff, 80; Goshorn, g. Davis, l.
On the second ballot the three GOshorn
yotss we're cast for A. r. Barbee, This
wss the only change. There was no el6c-
ton. and the joint assembly dissolved.

sembly and must be disposed Of Senator
Price said he understood that the law did
not designate any particular body
before which the notice OF
contest should be filed, and
out of precautiOn it had been presented
here In bis opinion it WIS highly proper
that the petition should be presented now
and ne offered q resolution to the effect
that it be referred 20 the joint committee
appointed 20 investigate and hear the con-
test Scott appealed from the decision of
the Chair. The appeal wss defeated by a
vote OF Al TO 80. Senator Carr explained
that he had fallen asleep and was unable
to vote intelligently. He was excused.
The vote on Prices resolution to refer the
notice of contest Snd ceruOraIi was taken.
The Republicans did not have the heart 10
take chance and it carried easily.
Spreg followed up the advantage, and
added 70 the Republican Generalization
by introducing the following resolution, at
the same time demanding that the ayes
aud noes be called:
THE RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, II appears that there is a
contest as to the result of the election for
Governor in the State of West Virginia ss
set forth in the petition and notices of the
Hon. A. b. Fleming, against Hon. Nathan
God presented before the joint assembly
this day; therefore be il
ResOlued, That the publishing and dec
laration of the result of the vote for the
Aforesaid Office OF Governor be suspended
until said contest be decided in the man
ner prescribed by law
This was the main point of the battle.
The Democrats had carried eyerythi1g be-
fore them, and the Republicans saw that
there was 10 way 20 defeat it but by fill
clustering
Morris began it as usual He made the
point OF order that the resolution could not
be considered. It was promptly over
ruled and the decision sustained by vo.e
Of II to 40 At this point Scott made
himself ridiculous by objecting TO Speaker
Woods voting. and was laughed down by
both sides Of the assembly.
