The extremely cold weather of the
last few days has produced some fine
ice in this section and large quantities
are now being gathered by dealers and
others for their summer supply. The
ice at present varies in thickness from
four to seven inches and is very clear

An Ardent Lover Takes Dose Of 0arbolio Acid
Death Almost Instant.
Richard Newhouse, an employee Of
the Baltimore aud Ohio railroad at
Keyser, committed suicide Monday
night by drinking earbolic acid in the
presence Of his sweetheart, Miss Ann
High. She was to marry him on
Christmas night, but at that time she
refused to have anything to do with
him. He went out and asked Andy
Pancake, en- employee at the boarding
house, TO knock him on the head, that
he wished to die. Pancake ioliingly
told him all right, to get down ON his
knees. Instantly he did so, and beg
ged Pancake to kill him quick, which,
of course, he refused TO do, and told
him to get up and act like man, and
not let anything worry him. He then
went to the home of his sweetheart,
and climbing in the window, searched
the house for her. She in the mean
time ran to the clearinghouse to es-
cape him. Finding she had gone
there, he rushed into the room, and
taking bottle from his pocket con-
tanning portion of whiskey mixed
with carbolic acid, offered it to her,
and she refused. He then remarked,
"You caused me to do this,n and
drank from the bottle. He lived but
few minutes.

COMMITTEE ON CREDENTIALS.
II May Delay Its Report Until the Very
Last

MrNNEAPoLIs. June THE commit.
tee on credentials assembled at Its
room in the exposition building between
4 and ) O'Clock and then adjourned to
meet again at p. M. at the rooms of
the national republican committee.
The reason given for the adjournment
was that the room provided for the
purposes was not suitable. The Har-
rlson delegates who claimed they were
beaten out of their seats in the commit
tee rooms remarked that the commit
tee on credentials must be fond of close
quarters, stuffy az aud noise, and said
they feared that In these quarters they
would not be able to make themselves
heard to any better advantage than be-
fore the national committee. One of
them said he had attended four ma.
tionai conventions and that he had OBJ
served that the committee on creden-
tiais invariably followed the same pro-
gram-meet aad adjourn To some other
place until there Was no time left TO
make an investigation Of contests and
then the acton of the national COM
niittee would be adopted as the report
of the committee on credentials. This
Is heli.' he somewhat pathetIcslly
and altogether profanely remarked.

BLAINE MAKES A GAIN.
The Alabama Contestants Were All
Successful

MINNEAPoLIs, June Nobody can
safely predict the result as yet,
although there has been an utter
stampede to Blaine, and the presidents
friends are becoming more hopeful and
confident. Mr.. Depew who is to re-
nominal the president is expected
to make the greatest speech of his life,
and If Ex-Governor Foraker is not
careful in his speech he will defeat his
friend, Mr.. Blame, for the delegates
to this convention are not in q mood to
hear the present excellent administra-
ton assailed from republican lips.
Shortly before 10 O'Clock there was an
lmpromptu reviewed I'm front of the
West hotel. The Eau Claire, Wis,
Republican club began 1T, wearing
linen busters with pearl buttons and
carrying canes with little flags
at the end which all unfolded as they
drilled. They marched past, headed
by the band. and was quickly REIN
forced by the Iowa Republican club in
their white linen uniforms and their
colored umbrellas, Other clubs IN
gray and brown, and blue and scarlet
uniforms followed, each preceded by q
band, and altogether they made the
scene rather lively. The national COM
mittee remained IN session until late
hour TINS afternoon and disposed of
contested delegations pending. After
the Alabama and Mississippi cases were
acted upon the principal fight was
made on the Alabama case, and the
Harrison men seeing that the majority
OF the committee was against them
ceased further opposition than TO enter
their protest against the acton TO be
taken. All the contestants were seated,
the result being loss of about thirty
votes in the Harrison column. This Is
an average of the assertions of both
sides, the Blaine men claiming q gain
of forty and the Harrisonites conced-
ing twenty. The contest will be re-
sumcd before the committe on creden.
uals and continued IT necessary before
the convention.

Discreet silence Observed
The cry which went up last night
that improper means were being used
70 gain Blaine converts from among
the colorcd delegates of the south WAS
repeated tins morning by many Harm
son delegates. But Il WAS noticeable
that the leaders OF the presidents forces
were discreetly silent IN regard 10 the
subject. Indeed. "A favorable phase of
the situation this morning Was that
the msnagers of both parties wer coun-
selling harmony and good feeling. and
apparently doing all they could TO al

demand for harmony Is evidently the
result of . sentiment that has been
awakened in some quarters that these
