WILSON ON CLEVELAND.
The West Virginian Says he Would Not
Permit "Rooming."

SDecidl telegram 10 he Regisfer
WAsHNGToN. ID. c., May Repre-
sentative Wilson, who was prominent
at the recent HagcrStown banquet, said
to the REGISTER correspondent to-day
that the published report that the ban
quet was a boom TO Cleveland and Camp
bell for sQ2. was untrue and absurd.
He also characterized the report that
Clevcland'S visit to Washington was for
the purpose of consulting with friends
in regard to inaugurating his boom at
llagerStown as false. He said
that no man who knew Glove
land would feel disposed to broach to
him the subject of booming him. "With
my knowledge Of the man, / should
never think of such a thing" said Mr..
Wilson. "Clevcland is the last man
who would listen complaccntly to any
suggestion looking TO advancing him 10y
the methods known as booming. Mr..
Wilson thought that the Republicans
are more interested in booming Demo
Gratis than are the latter, and added
that the Democrats are not in
hurry to select candidates for the
next Presidential contest.
The manner in which Republicans
jugglc with public interests to
serve the selfish interests of in
dividuals was most forcibly illus
trated to-day. In 1854 General Early
of the Confederate army, levied an as
scsSmcnt of S231, 800 upon the towns of
Frederick, Hagcrstown. and Middle
town, in Western Maryland, as he al
legged. to reimburse Southern people OF
the Shenandoah Valley, for devaSta-
tion of Union troops, the money
was paid, and for years Congress
has been asked to repay it, but
claim was repeatedly rejected. At this
session McComaS revised the claim, but
last week the War Claims Committee
unanimously ordered an adverse report.
McComaS pleaded with the Republican
members, telling them that he had
pledged his people to pass the bill. lie
promised that in case of favorable re-
port he would let the bill die on the
calendar; that he would never call it mp.
and in this promise to help McComas to
a denomination, the Republicans re-
verScd their former action and made
favorable report, thus deceiving and
trining with the taxpayers OF the three
towns.

EARLY SHUT DOWN
INDICATED BY THE WINDOW GLASS MANU-
PAOTURERS ASSOCIATION
An Important Meeting at ChieagO-BlastS VIII
Close Either June 1 or i5-A De-
termination TO Resist Any In
crease in Wages.

CHICAGO, May THE National As
Sociation of Window Glass Manufacture
ers held a meeting here to-day TO con
slider the advisability of closing the
blasts June /, in place Of allow
ing them TO continue until
a month later as usual. The
desire to close earlier is said by the
manufacturers to be due to the strike
of the carpenters. While the matter
was not definitely decided to-
day, the sentiment seemed so
unanimously in favor of an early
shut down, that leading Chi
cago manufacturer said tonight there
was no doubt the blasts would close
either the lst or 18th Of June.
Another feature Of the proceedings
was the harmonious action on the
wages question. A strong committee,
consisting of MeSsrS. Chambers,
Catlin, DePauw, Loetller, Park.
Frazee, and Hamburg, was appointed,
to whom is entrusted the settlement OF
the wage question this summer, and a
decided determination was manifested
to resist any increase in wages or the
adoption of new working rules.

There was another cracking base ball
game on the Island Park yesterday after
noon between the Springhelds and Wheel
ings, but owing to the very chilly and
threatening weather only a handful of peo-
pie were present to see it. However, they
were amply repaid for shivering.
Watson, who pitched for Kalamazoo in
1857. appeared in the box for Springfield,
and he put up stiff game, Haller backing
him in good style. Fitzgerald pitched for
Wheeling. and the visitors were unable TO
successfully hit his curves. Ziegler did
good service behind the but, and the whole
team put up stiff fielding game, the in
field doing especially good work.
The first run was made by Springfield III

second on Daily's base on balls and second
on Ryan's single and Osborne's error.
Wheeling tied the score in the fourth
when Joe White got base on balls. Zieg-
Ter hit safe and White scored on "Scis-
sorsn Armitage's cOrking single.

White went TO second on Bets bad throw
of his hit, to third on Zieglers hit and home
on a tumble by Hiser. In the ninth one
more was made Myers hit safe, went TO

LEAPHART'S sLAYERs
Believed to Have Been Engaged in a
Darker Crime.

New YORK, May "A Columbia, S. c.,
special TO the Herald says The inquest
over the body of Willie Leaphart, who was
shot to death in his cell in Lexington by a
mob of men, was held iu Lexington yester-
day. During the progress Of the inquest
seven of the men in the mob was Identified
as having assisted and taking part in the
assassination. The jury remained out ten
minutes and returned with the remarkable
verdict that willie Leaphart came to his
death by gun shot wounds at the hands of
persons unknown" The Governor will
probably offer large reward for the con-
viction of the murderers. The Solicitor
will present the names of the seven men he
has to the grand jury.
The evidence in the hands of the Gov
ernor which caused the Judge to recon-
mend respite for Leaphart and Governor
Richardson to grant the same, was TO the
effect that the girl he was supposed to have
raped had been ruined recently, that expo
sure would come in time, and that the
scheme of charging the negro with the as
sault was arranged and planned by those
most interested in the matter, so that they
would gain more time and perhaps ulti-
mately prevent exposure. Leaphart was
convicted solely upon Rosa Caunon's tesu-
mOnV.
