Out Of the Crowd-A Disguised Community.


Spscidl telegram 10 he Register.
MORGANTOwN, w. Va, October IL
Is previously announced Captain Dove
ner addressed the citizens of MOnOngalia,
at MOrgantown to-day. An audience Of
about two hundred, among which was Il
considerable Sprinkling of Democrats,
greeted the speaker He was introduce
cd by Henry l.. Cox, and spoke from
the veranda of the Commercial Hotel.
Although the majority present were Re
publicans still the sympathy Of the
crowd was not with the speaker and told
very senSibly in his disconnected re-
marks. Vile attacks and sarcastic SlingS
at Hon. w. l.. Wilson, who has en-
Shrined himself in the hearts of not only
those OF his own party, but all honest
thinking Republicans, were re-
ceiNed with silence and pity for
la man audaciouS and preSumptlve
enough 10 utter such sentiments. The
speech was characterized throughout
by blatant assertions, palpable falsitieS
and Republican guSh, interSpersed with
awkward irreSpOnSive pauSeS, and
general lack of enthusiasm. A rehaSh
OF wOrnOut issues, the immaculate yir-
tues of Mckinley, Reed, GotT and Har-
mon were dwelt upon, TO the disgust Of
an present. The speaker evidently had
mistaken the character of his audience.
The people of MOnOngalia are thinking
men. a fact discovered before he had
proceeded far. The four aforesaid Re
publican idols have been weighed in the
balance and found wanting.
The speech fell on the ears rs sound
Ing brass aud tinkling cymbalS. The
mention of Harmon's name failed to
elicit the slightest enthusiasm. So
little interest was manifested that the
announcement OF horse sale drew Il
large proportion Of the crowd away in
the midst OF the speech.
The speaker invited questions and
got them. \ bright University student
propounded questions that were an
Swcrcd by abuse and bombaSt from the
speaker and threats of cjectmcnt by
disguntled Republicans. The speaker
became 50 perceptibly ratified that an
enraged Republican seized the student
by the throat and attempted To force
him of the grounds. His inTuriatcd
colleagues and burly negroes attempted
TO assist, but the Sheriff and students
prevailed and released the interrogation.
4 diSgraceful row was almost precipi-
tated. as usual at Republican meetings.
Arrests are expected. A lack of in
terest compelled the speaker to cease,
The town is torn up over the affair and
and the better class of Republicans are
ASHAMED and mortified aud will attempt
20 suppress the facts.

"UNDER WHICH FLAG?"
The Old Republican Campaign Gag Again
Come to Town.

As REGISTER reporter was hustling
up Market street yesterday afternoon
he noticed young fellow distributing
what the reporter supposed was an ad-
vertising circular of some sort. One
was thrust into his hand by the indus
trious distributor. He glanced at it and
started. Could it be? Yes, it was. The
dead come to life again-the old Repub-
lican campaign tariff gag" of lsss,
''Under Which Flag?" The first
impression was that the Re-
publican campaign committee for
the First district was working
off some Of its old stock, but 4 closer ex-
animation showed that, while it was the
same thing, practically, it had been re-
vamped and fitted up to suit the Me-
Knley tariff. Instead of being wholly
composed Of forged extracts from Eng
lish papers as in 1883, these same eX-
tracts were sandwitchcd between ex-
tracts from Mcknley's speeches and
cable dispatches telling of the indigna-
tiOn that existed in foreign countries
against the action of Congress in pass
ing the Mckinley bill and closing the
ports Of the United States to foreign
commercials If that were an argument
in favor of the Mckinley tariff
The scribe stuck in his pocket the
documcnt-which has the same old
colored cuts of an English and an Amer
lean flag on it, over which is the query:
"Under which Flag?"-and walked
on, meditating on the strapped" condi-
tion of the minds of the Republican cam
paign liars that they find il necessary to
resurrect such whiskered and wormy
campaign chcstnutS. He had about
come to the conclusion that if Republi-
can statesmen had their ,way entirely
they would close every port and declare
war against all the commercial world,
when big man grabbed him by the arm
and drew him into a doorway. The big
man was well known Democrat and Il
manufacturer at that. He was mad and
ilouriShed before the reporters eyes one
of these same "Under Which Flag?"
documents.
Il wish the fellow that gave me this
thing" said he, chad stopped to ask me
under which flag chose to live. DO
you know what I'd tell him?" Here the
big man pulled off his hat, and as is his
custom, ran his big fingers through
his hair quickly.
"What?"
"Why, I'd tell him just this:
choose to live under the Stars and
Stripes, under the flag that should
guarantee equal rights to all, not the
oppression and taxation Of the many for
the benefit of Il few. I'd tell him that
choose to live under the flag of Washing
ton and Jefferson and jackson; under
the good old Democratic flag that beat
this one (pointing to the cut of the
English tlag) about a century ago, and
under which America was made what
she is. That's what I'd tell him."
And the big man walked quickly off
without another word, while the re-
porter walked musingly on his way.

has forbidden his wife TO accompany

press the desire to see Mrs. Mcpary and
he wrote her 4 very loving note. asking

MORE NEWS FROM THE FLOOD.
Great Damage In the Valley of short
Creek.

A gentleman who came down to the
city from Short Creek, yesterday, says
the flood of Sunday evening, in the
south branch of that stream. was the
heaviest for many years. Nearly every
farmer along the bottoms lost his corn
and fences. Jacob Hilton lost 400
shocks Of corn from the old Peter Del
apldin farm. David Hercules had his
farm flooded by the water backing up
from drift gorge at the bridge, and
his garden was also ruined The roads
all along this run are badly damaged.
On CaStleman'S run, near Potomac.
Mr.. Blayncy lost POO shocks Of corn and
all his fencing. Patrick McClcllen, the
Potomac blacksmith, had his house
flooded and his furniture damaged. The
roads in that vicinity were So damaged
they could not be travelled until yester-
day, and foot-logs, oodgates, fencing,
&c, are all gone. The wheat fields,
which had just been plowed, are SO
washed as to be almost ruined.
The Il. * o. ran trains over the main
line and the Pittsburg division ycSter-
day, aS usual, but the Central Ohio
division was still in trouble up to yeStcr-
day evening. A large number OF
travelling men went down to Bcllairc
yesterday to 20 out West. but were
compelled to return. Superintendent
Holbrook Of the PittSburg division, de-
serves great credit for the way he
whooped up the repairs on that part Of
the line under his charge.
The Wheeling and Lake Erie being
yet In course of construction, and far
from being in that condition Of solidity
that comes Of age, it suffered very Sc
yerely by the storm Of Sunday, which
will cause a delay OF many days in reach
ing Stcubcnville. At various points
the roadbed was washed out, and
a construction engine was upset
into Salt Run, whose waters were
never before known To De as high as
they were Sunday. The siyty-foot truss
bridge over Salt Run just below Bril-
liant was washed away, and the track
was covered for several miles with de-
briS that will require time and much
labor to remove. Yesterday men were
put at work, and by seven o'clock a tenn
porary bridge had been constructed over
Salt Run. The Wheeling and Lake
Erie has been very unfortunate this
fall, the weather being unusually bad
for railroad building.

MASONIC ENPULSiONS.
An Ohio Decision on an Important Secret
Society Point.

COLUMBUS. o., October l4.-Judge
Evans, of the Common Pleas Court, to-
day rendered a decision in a case which
will be of great interest to the Masonic
fraternity throughout the State.
Two years ago last April charges
were preferred against twenty-five
members of G0odalc Lodge, i. and a.
NJ, this city, the charges consisting in
allegations to the effect that the accused
had been guilty of unmaSonic conduct
by identifying themselves with the
Ccrncau Scottish Rite. In Jan
uary of the same year
the expulsion proceedings insti-
tuted under the charges were stopped
by temporary injunction secured by
Mr.. William A. IIcrShiSer, one Of the
members against whom charges had
been preferred.
This injunction was againStS. Stack
er Williams, the then Grand Master OF
Ohio, and officers OF GOOdalc Lodge. To
Mr.. Ilershiser'S petition the lodge filed
an answer and the plaintiff filed reply.
subsequently the answer was with
drawn, and the defense simply demurred
to the petition. 1t was on the demurrer
that the decision to-day was rendered.
The fight was on the authority Of the
lodge to make eXpulSions. The Ger
neaus questioned the right Of the lodge
to expel members ''for joining other
bodies whose principles are consistent
with Masonry and morality" On the
other hand. the defense claimed that
the lodge had the sole right to discip-
line its members. 1t was incidentally
claimed by the Cerneaus that the lodge
must give each member a separate
trial, instead Of trying all ut once. The
effect Of joint trial would be to de-
prive any Ccrncau from voting on 4
brother members case.
Judge Evans put secret society lodges
on a plane with other organizations,
such as churches, not organized for
profit, and held that the courts had no
Jurisdiction over them whore the queS-
tion of membership is involved. He
held: The power to determine who are
members of this Masonic Lodge-the
power Of expulsion-eXistsi in the lodge
itself, and was voluntarily conferred
on it by its members. each Of whom on
becoming n member is presumed TO
have known the nature and character
of the lodge, and that it had disciple
nary power over all its members.
The ease will be appealed.

tbs BOARD.
Four Democrats Vote with the Republicans, But The
Bill Fails 70 Pass Under Suspension Of tho
Rules-A Stormy Cancus o. Those Opposed
10 Governor Campbell.

Special Telegram to the Register
CoLUAmUs, O., October LIT begins
to look as though the Governor would
not be supported by his party in his
fight against the Cincinnati Board OF
Public improvement. These of the
Democratic members of the Legislature
that are opposing him on this question
are outSpoken and aggressive,
while those upon whom it is
thought Governor Campbell can rely
are not saying word. In the short
time the Senate was IN session this
afternoon vote was taken there thai
may Indicate the strength OF the Gov
ernor's support in that branch. A bill
to abolish this board was introduced
and motion made to pass it by sus-
pension Of the rules. On this foul
Democratic Senators voted with the
Republicans in the Affirmative, but the
motion was lost. The proportion OF
Democratic members who will act OF
the line prescribed by the Governor IS
even smaller in the House.
The caucus of Democratic members In
the Senate chamber tonight is very
noisy, and II reports that reach tn,
outer door are reliable, the Governor i,
being lambasted vigorously. The effort
of the majority is no doubt to beat thG
Governors minority back into line and
by full party vote throw the whole
matter over To next winters session
That seems the most probable outcome
now.

New YORK, October 14.-During the
recent depression in Wall street the
credit of many well known and staunch
houses has been unScrupulously as
sailed. Bearing the market by false
rumorS is 4 Wall street industry in
which there may be large profits with
little danger of punishment. S. V.

rest of Alfred NJ. Parker, well known
money broker, for knowingly clrculat-
ing false statements with the intent to
influence the market price of Delaware.
Lackawanna and Western stock.

remarked Parker. The other asked
him why he was so 'beariSh" on Lack
awanna, and Parker said that on that
very day he had seen Russell Sage
in conversation with George Gould,
and, rs Mr.. Whites agent had offered
Sage per cent. for time money, with
LackawanHa as security, and that
the loan was refused. In further con
verSation, Parker said that the stock OF
the Lackawanna would sell at l90 and
that ). Y. White would break" within
sixty days. DeSelding was aStounded.
"lf you know anything let me know, it
may be of Importance, he said. Parker
said he, would use no names, but in a
mysterious manner intimated that his
business was money-lender for inStitu-
tiOnS and capitalists. His conversation
with DeSelding led to his arrest to-day.
The penalty Of the offenSc charged
against Parker is three months impris-
