Attorney General G. c. Watts, of
Charleston, has published card de-
clining to be a candidate for the
democratic nomination for Governor
of West Virginia. This gives Col.
McCorkle, of the same town, fine
chance for the delegates of Kanaw-
ha County, and a better chance
among the democracy of the West
ern section than he would have with
Judge Watts in the field.

OPPOSE THE SCHEME.

De ~RothnchilLrs Plan Rejected
Brussels. Dec. 3.-Thc scheme for the
solution of the monetary problem that
was submitted to the international none
tary conference by Mr.. dc Iotllschild,
one Of the British delegates, was re-
jectcd by the committee to which 1t
was referred on the votes of the dele
gates from France, Italy, Belgium. Nor
way and Sweden and Russia. The first
objection made to the plan vas from
the delegates of the nationS belonging
to the Latin union. They 'isappr"vcd
the proposals that IL pence he fixed as
the M Aimum purchase price OF silver.
ThiS figure was consequently WIN
drawn in favor of Il higher one. but
this concession failed to reconcile the OPP
position. NJ. RaffalOvitch. one of the
Russian delegates and chairman OF the
committees. presented the report to-day.
This report summarized the procec'-
ings of the committee and mentioned
that Il majority of the members agree
upon some Of the minor points of tie
DE Isothschild proposal. but commit
themselves to no decided support OF
any scheme.

July, 1890, Dan Scott. Il newspaper man OF
this city, whom everyday in the state
knows very favorully. had not taken the
Kelley treatment. hut he had taken II trip
to st. Paul. While there he INDUCED In Dota-
lions which rendered him unable 1" decide
rightly what he was doing. On the evening
OF July ~ Dan fell into bad company. lie
was surrounded. as he claims. by u lot OF
gamblers. who induced him to go into IL faro
game. Dan lost :: gold watch aud chain and
$50 in money, but still kept at work in the
tigers den. Before the night was over he
had drawn two checks, one for $40 AMI the
other for $40, to bearer. The next day Dan
came to himself and wired the Dakota Ma
tional bank to stop payment on the checks.
To-day J. L. Flanagan OF st. Paul secured
u judgment for the amount of the checks.
The plaintiff represents that he is a note
broker and that he innoccntly advanced the
money on the checks, knowing MIR. Scott to
be Il man of means and not knowing for
what purpose the checks We're given. Flnn-
nagan says he secured the checks Of Charles
Dunn of Minneapolis. The case occupied
but an hour. The court directed Il verdict
for the plaintiff. holding that intOXicition
was no defense against the validity OF u
cnecE.
