A FEW years ago wire nails were
so dear farmers could not afford to
use them, but now, under protec-
ton, they have fallen in price until
they are sold for less than the tariff
on the imported article, and con,
sumers get homemade nails which
are not only low in price, but the
best in quality of any made in the
world.

KIYGwoOD, W. VA, August 29.-The
people OF this county were greatly
shocked this morning when they learn
ed that DR.. r. B. l.. Trippett, one OF
our honored citizens, was dead. His
death occurred at six o'clock this morn

laudanum taken at eleven o'clock Sun

Rheumatism made him cripple years

intense suffering. Recently he resort
cd 20 morphene to relieve himself from
min. On Sunday morning he took Sev-
eraI syollows Of laudnum hoping to
ease the pain 5ut the dose was not
measured and was greater than he
thought and resulted as stated above.
DR.. Trippett was forty-two years old

LEAVING HOMESTEAD.
Mill Workers and Their Families Moving
Out of the eTown--Pinkerton's at Work.


Out OF the Town--Pinkerton's at Work.
HOMESTEAD, PA, August 29.-There
is much expectancy and subdued ex-
element in Homestead this morning
over search for the guns OF captured
Pinkertons which has been ordered for
this evening. Much Of the reluctance
in giving up the arms lies in the fact
that the possession would fix upon the
Homesteaders completely in the riots
aud that this evidence will be used in
bringing suits.
II was learned this afternoon that
the Pinkerton agency some time ago
sent out men into the mill as non union
workmen. These men deserted in small
squads and were taken into the strikers
ranks. They gained the confidence OF
the Amalgamated leaders and have, IL
is said, gathered considerable evidence
against participants in the riot OF July
against whom they will make intor-
nations. 1t is also said that they have
discovered the hiding place Of the cap
turee rifles and will proceed against
those who have possession OF them.
Two months ago to-day the great
steel works here shut down and so far
as the men are concerned there Is no
weakening, nor do the majority express
any doubt OF victory. They are really
conducting surprisingly strong hight
considering the number OF men and the
admixture Of races and trades. All are
being held in line and show much en-
thusiasm. The firm naturally insists
10 70 . 10 pAnonrnn1 thu Strilsn
is over and points TO the mill as an evil
dence. 1t is in part in successful opera
ton, though not nearly as full as dur
ing June.
Several more Homestead families left
with their furniture this morning Tor
the Ohio Valley. A railroad official told
the Associated Press correspondent that
his road alone has averaged three fam
ily movings a day for two weeks, aud
that many more called TO inquire about
freight rates.
Late this afternoon VIM. 0etIner and
NJ. j. Connolly, strikers, were arrested
on warrants sworn out by Pinkerton de-
tectives charging them with riot aud
aggravated assault. The Pinkerton'S
have sworn out warrants against four
teen others on the same charge, but re-
fused to give names. None Of the rifles
have az yet been found.
Four additional arrests have been
made tonight as follows; Thomas y.
Crawford, acting chairman Advisory
Committees VIM. Ii. Catcher, George
Ryland, Burgess McLuckie and John
Edwards. The first four are charged
with conspiracy and riot, whild Ed
wards olfense is described as aggravated
riot. Al! but Edwards have been re-
leased on bail. No trouble was eX-
perienced In making the arrests, as no
resistance was offered.

A QUEER COINCIDENCE.

The Republican Convention at New Mar

Pine Grove Nominate the Same Man-It
Looks Very Much Like Crooked job
Special Correspondence Of the REGISTER.
New MARrIYsvILLE, w. VA, August
20.-The Farmers Alliance Delegate
District Convention, TO nominate can
didate for the House Of Delegates Tor
the Delegate District composed OF Tyler
and Wetzel counties, met at Pine Grove,
Wetzel county, last Saturday, and nom
mated the Rev. Wesley NJ. Burgess
Luke, Tyler county.
The Republican Delegate District
Convention, to nominate candidate
for the same Office, met at New Mar
tinsvllle on the same day and nomi-
mated the same candidate, the Rev,
Wesley NJ. Burgess: quite a colnci-
dence, indeed.
The Reverend gentleman is a Repuo-
lican-Aliance man Of the deepest dye
and If elected it purely and Simply
means a vote for Stephen b. Elklns Tor
United States Senator, The clrcum-
stances surrounding this nomination by
GOINtuLiOuN
deed, and 10 looks as If away down IN
the meal Tub there is good sized cat
about the size Of stephen b. Elkins, the
Secretary OF War. The Republican
convention at New Martinsville did
their bidding with great unanimi.y, IN
fact the Reverend gentleman was nom
mated without a dissenting voice, out
there was quite contest
in the Alliance Convention before he
reached nomination. The matter,
however, had been too well arranged In
advance, and the reverend gentleman
succeeded in capturing the nomination
IN the Alliance Convention in the home
stretch.
DR.. Stathers, Chairman Of the First
Congressional District Executive Com
mittee, attended the Republican Aon-
vention at New Martinsville, and 1t Is
very probable that his tiue Italian hand
had something TO do with procnr-
ing Burgess nomination by both
these conventions. There is no
doubt that the Democratic portion
of the Alliance party in Tyler and Wet
eel have been badly sold and deceived
in this nomination. In Tyler and Wet
eel there are about seven Democratic
Alliance men to one Republican. 1t Is
simply impossible for the result to have
been produced except in some myster-
ious way by free and liberal use OF
Doodle, because the rank and file OF the
Democratic Alliance in I'yley and Wet
eel dosnot want Stephen .. Elkins elec-
ted United States Senator. There is
not much question but that some per
son or persons have gotten big money
for this JOB. It stands the Alliance in
hand to keep their eyes open else some
BODY will make big money out Of their
votes.
