this 1t is plain that Lew. did not
make an offer. The assertion that
he did not care to handle hogs
(based on the information of another
buyer) is also incorrect because the
shipping books at the depot will
prove that Lew. is one of the largest
buyers and shippers in the county,
both of hogs and cattle. If the
farmer had waited until Mr.. Graber
returned from Chicago he would
have made from l5c to 25c more per
hundred on his hogs than he got for
them at Jonesdale, as high as $3.50
being offered here last Saturday.

The City Election.

The voters of the city Of Mineral
Point will, on Tuesday next, April
LIST, 1890, be called on to elect city
officers for the ensuing year.
Each eleotor will be free to vote
for the candidates of his own choice,
and unlnhuenced by any considera-
tion of fear or favor.
The new law forbids and precludes
any and all attempts to unduIy in
huence any voter in the exercise Of
the elective franchise.
There can be no treating" by
candidates; no paid "ticket peddler,"
(for there are no tickets to peddle)
and every possible form of indmida-
tion or bribery is prohibited under
severe penalty.
The new law is intended to pro-
tect the voter from all outside in
terterauce.
The voter must be allowed to
enter the polling booth unattended,
is furnished with an "oflicial ballot"
containing the names Of all certified
candidates.
The voter designates his choice
by making cross (X) in the space
opposite tue candidates. name.
In performing this sacred duty,
the e!ec'or should and can act solely
as his own judgment and conscience
dictates. lie cannot show his vote
to outsiders, lie must 0ote secret
6aiiot.
This makes every elector inde-
pendent Of political "bosses," and
safe to exercise bis right for the
best interests of the community.
Under these conditions, it is not
likely any honest man will cast his
ballot to elect "A drunkard, libercine,
gambler, adulterer or embezzler to
an Office Of public trust, just because
a party caucus or convention has
placed such unprincifled candidates
in nomination. The men or party
voting unworthy persons into office
are placed upon the same level, and
will eventually have to share the
disgrace and infamy that inevitably
such unwise action. Let
every voter inform himself fully Of
his duty under the law, and perform
it faithfully.

PIrrsBrEG. Pa. April ls.-A
move that will likely break the
backbone Of the threatened strike Of
railroaders was made tonight bv the
Panhandle railroad. 4 committee OF
employees met Superintendent Turner
and presented a demand for 2i cents per
hour for day switchmen. - cents
for night switchmcn and 90 cents
per day increase for conductors.
twelve hours to constitute days work.
Superintendent Turner received the
men courtcously and promised to see
that the demands were conceded. IL Is
probable that the other roads will fol-
low suit. and in this way avert strike.
The question Of recognition Of the Fed
Grafton. however, is still unsettled and
may cause trouble The switchmcn
were in session all day and until long
after midnight, when they adjourned.
Vice Grand Master Downey said moth
ing would be done until after the arri-
val Of Grand Master Sweeney. who j.
expected In the morning.
I'VE will strike as a last resort, said
he. 'and when we do we will strike
hard"
The brakemen on the Baltimore and
Ohio road were granted an advance To-
day. making their wages the same a.
paid on the Pennsylvania r. K. This
however. had nothing to do with tho
present trouble. The impression is
growing that there will be 10 strike
but until the matter is definitely set
tied an uneasy feeling will prevail ir
business circles.

One eyewitness describes with much
picturesque effect a scene at the White
House not long ago. when Quay. in the
presence of some thirty men and sever
al women, stood before the President
with his hat cooked over his eyes and
laid down tbs law in the manner Of a
severe taSk-maSter issuing Instructions
to a servant. The talk was in low
tone, but it was evident that wholly
apart from the vulgarity Of his be-
hayior. for which il was probable
he was not responsible at the
time. hc had made himself extreme
Ily offensive to the President. who
seemed anxious to rcbuke him, but fear
ful of creating a scene. Several recent
expressions from the White House circle
are quoted which indicate that Quay has
carried his hulIdozing tactics too far,
and put himself i'm a position where. If
| il becomes evident that there is enough
of a party behind the President to war
rant it. h. will be Shorn of all his power.
/ His following is like that Of Roscoe Conk-

does not contain so large respectable
element. II will desert him at the first
sign that the administration means To

TOOK HIS own LIFE.
Rash Act of Well Known Salesman at
Steubenville.


STEUBENvHLE, O., April 1s.-People
in this city were greatly shocked by the
announcement that Robert McKeever,
a well-known travelling salesman for
Dilworth Bros. PittSburg, had commit
ted suicide AT 5 o'clock this morning by
shooting himself at the residence Of
his sister, Mrs. Moses Alexander. on
Highland avenue. On Friday of last
week Mr.. McKcever, who lived in
Allegheny. came down to Steu-
benville TO take rest from
the cares of business. His wife,
who is the daughter of \. b.
Caldwell, the large dry goods dealer, of
Washington. Pa, went over to that
place to remain during the absence Of
her father who is in California for the
benefit of his health. There is no known
cause for the rash act, as his business
affairs are apparently in good shape and
his domestic relations very happy.
He retired to rest last night i'm his usual
mood with nothing seemingly troubling
his mind, and the first intimation his
friends had that anything was wrong
was the sound of Il pistol shot in his
room at the time mentioned above. On
entering his room they found him lying
on the bed dead, with the pistol graSped
in his hand. The ball entered his head
back Of the right ear, and death must
have been instantaneous.

HOW WILL 1T END?
Some Lively Developments in the Building
Trades strike Promised.

There is likely to be some lively de
vclopmentS in the strike Of the building
trades in the next week or so. as there
seems 10 be dissatisfaction all along IN,
line. As has been stated . great many
Of the strikers have secured work,
and in most cases those who
are left without employment are
the ones who need the wages Of their
labor the most. It's reported that they
are dissatisfied and that a demand has
been or will be made that everything
close down tight until settlement has
been arrived at; that no work whatever
be- done by union men until such con-
clusion has been reached.
The Builders Exchange held their us
ual meeting last eyening.and the carpen-
tcrs also met In usual weekly session,
but what business was transacted could
not be- learned. as neither side was COM
municatiyc. II was understood, how
ever, that the meeting OF the Building
Trades Council on Thursday evening,
developed some new phases in the stu
alton that are likely to become public at
an early date.
