Dark Horse in the Race,


Dark Horse in the Race,
Probably the most surprised man in
the city last night, on the receipt OF the
news that a Postmaster had at last been
selected for Wheeling, was Mr., W, J, w,
Cowdeu, the recipient Of the honor,
When an ISTELLIGENcER reporter called
upon him at eight o'clock, he had not
yet recovered from his surprise.
"Yes, / have heard Of II" he said in
answer to q question. ~ received the
information q few minutes ago from q
gentleman who called TO congratulate
me. No, cannot tell you how I came to
be selected for the place, for | had made
no application, and know nothing at all
about 1t, l positively am unable TO
give you any information. | am as much
In the dark as you are,
"You knew that you were generally
talked aboht as q compromise man for
the place, and that a great many people
were Of the opinion that II the contest
should be settled In that way the light
ming would probably strike your"
"Yes, sir; such talk came to my ears,
but | regarded 1t simply as street gossip,
and did not entertain for moment the
idea that such q contingency would
arise. Even II It should, did not sup
pose that was more likely to prove n
dark horse than any one OF a dozen other
people who might be thought Of in the
same connection"
Mr.. Cowden declined to discuss the
matter further, saying that he has no
official information OF his appointment,
or any other knowledge regarding II
save heresay, and that until he Is in pos
session Of something definite he does not
care TO be quoted.

A FATAL AFFRAY.
A Row at asunday School Convention Re.
suits In n Shooting.


SOMERSET, Ky. May 14.-At Wood
stock, Saturday, William Doolin, a peace
officer and son Of enc Of the most prom.
inent citizens in this county, shot and
fatally wounded William Watson, the
youngest son Of Squire J. II. Watson,
another very prominent citizen and ex-
sheriff OF this county. There was a
Sunday School Convention in session at
Woodstock Saturday, and the Watsons
and Lwo other young men were creating
disturbance near by. The members Of
the convention made complaint and
Doolin and q man named Cope went
down TO arrest the disturbers. Watson
started down the road away from tho
constable. Cope called 10 him 10 halt,
but Watson paid no attention TO him,
and Doolin ran into Cope's house near
by, took his rifle, and, taking deliberate
aim, fred. The bullet struck Watson
In the back, passing through the spinal
column and abdomen. The physicians
say Watson cannot live but a day or so
at tho iarthest. Doolin was arrested.
The sympathy Of the people generally
is with the Watsons, and as there has
been feud between the two families
for some time, 1t Is quite likely there
will be more trouble before the matter
IA settled,
