A CANDIDATE SHOT.
Exciting Incidents OF Republican Pri-
maries in West Virginia
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Nothing which happened for many months
has 80 excited Charleston, VIVA, people as the
attempted assassination Of George II. Nutter,
prominent republican candidate. On Satur-
day primary conventions were held throughout
the county to select delegates to the county
convention. The contest was between George
II. Nutter and VIM. Diles for the nomination
Tor county clerk. The convention at Charles
ton was q most disgraceful affair, there being
i've fights in the convention. Every other one
In the county was of q similar nature, ten
fights being the result Of one of them.' The.
colored men became angry at the Charleston
convention because they claimed that they
were not receiving proper recognition. The
contest was a most bitter one and 80 close that
each claims that he has enough delegates to
nominate him.
On top OF all this the news that George Nut
ter was shot on the public street about II
O'Clock Sunday night by an unknown person
threw the entire community into fever Of
excitement Mr.. Nutter seen by the Sun
correspondent yesterday he was very weak
and could speak but little He says he heard
rumor that Ohio Wells, colored one of the
delegates who was for him, had weakened and
after IL O'Clock went to his house to inquire as
to his position. He saw Wells and left about
midnight After going short distance some
one shot him with revolver. He heard the
report, but at first did not know that he was
shot. He soon fell from loss Of blood. pass
ing boy was sent for physician. who took him
home in carriage. The physician said that
the ball entered the breast just left of the heart
and came out of the back. He considered the
wound dangerous and wanted to take him to
Cincinnati to a hospital, but the family pr
ferred he should remain in Charleston.
The police have been unable to secure any
clue go far to the assassin or, at least, refuse
to make 1t known if they have.
The Dies men laugh at the occurrence.
They attempted at first to have it believed that
he was not shot at all, but was playing for SYM
pathy. Later they admitted that he shot,
but say he was out drunk and either shot him.
self or was shot by the husband of a woman
whom they said he went to see. Mr.. Nutter
claims he can give account Of himself for
every minute Of the evening He has no idea,
though, who shot him, and does not even sus-
pect amy one. He had not heard the threats
which are said to have been made against him.
The whole thing Is a mystery, and the public
is anxiously awaiting its solution. A large
crowd had gathered at hall with a view to
holding an Indignation meeting, but the jan
itor. who is one of Nutter's delegates, claimed
the hall to have been leased by lodge and ran
them out

THEY DON'T TREAT.
The Meaning of Bronze Four-leaf
Clovers on Chicago Coat Lapels.
From the Chicago Herald.

From the Chicago Herald.
Perhaps the observing citizen may have
noticed a peculiar-appearing bronze badge
patterned after a four leaf clover and fastened
in the lapel of sundry coats 1t is evidently
stranger upon the scene. and if the citizens
curiosity Is aroused he will examine closely
He will see upon 1t in raised script letters the
words: 'Anti-Treating League" The words
have significant sound, and the curious ones
will naturally ask question or two He will
ascertain that this anti-treating league is a
society without any officers. bylaws, constitu-
ton or meeting place. He will also ascertain
that no meetings Of any kind are held, and that
the members of the organization-ifi il can be
dlgnihed by the name-haye no opportunities
TO confer with one another. unless it is when
they meet upon the street. All these anti
reaters are not teetotalers by any means.
They do not all scornfully refuse a drink. But
they DO IN determined manner refuse to
turn any compliment of the kind that NAV be
rendered TO them. They give every treater TO
understand that, while they may drink with
him, he may never drink with them.
IL Is not from any lofty motive that they pur-
sue this some what odd course and adhere to
this somewhat exceptlOnable principle. They
are opposed 10 treating because il is an ex-
pensive habit. IF / treat every one that
treats me. they reason. II shall have to have

wisdom Is OF the practical kind The habit

THE RAILROAD HILL.
Another District Day Used Up without
Definite Result.

The action OF the House yesterday falls far
short OF insuring the passage OF the Atkinson
Dill II shows. however. how watchful OF its
interests are the friends of the railroad and
what an influence they can exert upon the
House II thefrisnds Of the people are for a
moment of thtir guard. While a very large
number Of the men who want to preserve the
rights OF the District against the encroach-
ments OF the corporation were absent the rail-
road people were careful to assemble their full
force. They succeeded in undoing some Of the
good work done at the last District day, when
the House voted to recommit the bill with IN
structions, but they made no progress toward
the passage of the bill
As stated in yesterdays STAR, the matter
came up with aroll-call on the motion to table
the motion to reconsider the recommlttal of
the bill, and this motion was defeated by a
vote of IS yeas. lib nays.
The recommittal OF the bill was then recon-
sidered by vote of 40 yeas to 81 nays.
A motion to adjourn was then made by Mr..
Milliken and was lost.
BY a vote of los TO 81 the previous question
was ordered on the motion to recommlt, upon
which the vote REQUIRED after reconsideration.
Mr.. MillIken moved to reconsider the vote
by which the previous question was ordered on
the vote to recOmmit.
Mr. Bayne then moved to lay this motion on
the able
The vote resulted SC to 80. and the point of
no quorum was made. Pending further count
the House adjourned.
Thirty-one OF those members who voted to
recommit the bill at the last District day were
absent yesterday. Seventeen changed sides
and voted with the railroad These were Brock

Lewis, Mcclellan, McCreary, Morrow, owen
Ind), Pennington, Stewart (Tex.) and
Wheeler (Ala.).
But fifteen members who voted with the
railroad a month ago were absent yesterday.
The bill Is now in practically the same con-
ditlon 1t was when the House met on the l4th
of July. Stripped of parliamentary circumlo-
cutlon the question that comes up next Dis
trict day, whether or not the bill should be re-
committed with the same instructions with

IL II Is not recoamitted the bill is still sub
lect to amendment, as if no vote to recommit

great deal Of excitement Is reported at
Hattiesburg, Miss, over an alleged outbreak of
smallpox. little girl arrived there not long
ago from Mexico, and soon after was taken
sick. On Saturday it was decided she had
smallpox, and about sixty people left the town
at once. Since then three others have been
taken sick, and all the towns on the northeast
ern road have become alarmed and several have
quarantined against Hattiesburg One physi-
clan says 1T Is chckenpox, but the idea is not
credited. and the most stringent quarantine
has been put into effect in many places.
