A Proposition to Employ COnvIcts for That
Purpose.

Special zslsgrSE' 10 nc REGISTER.
CHARLESTON, w. VA, February s.
A measure Of great Importance was In
troduced In the House on Tuesday by
Delegate Edwards, Of Kanawha. 1t

victs on public highways. 1t makes 1t
toe duty OF the Governor to appoint i've

and connecting the leading cities and
towns and county seats, and when the
highways are completed, TO turn them
over 10 the county authorities to be

The most important provision or the

thirds oi the male persons in their Gus
tody TO labor on the roads designated

REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS
Engage In Personal Encounter at SPRING
field, nlionois.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, February S.-A
personal encouncer in the lobbies OF the
Leland Hotel this morning between
Congressman Cannon and State Senator
Bacon created much excitement among
politicians. For some years Congress
man Cannon and Senator Bacon have
been rivals in the Republican party, and
the ouarrels between the factions led
by these two gentlemen have been the
subject of much newspaper com ment
from time to time. Cannon attributes
his defeat for Congress two years ego to
the opposition or lethargy of the Bacon
faction, and as Bacon was candidate for
Congressman before the Republican
convention this year only to be defeat
ed by Congressman Cannon, the strife
between the two gentlemen naturally
increased il intensity.
This morning Congressman Cannon
was standing just in front OF the hotel
Office, and Senator Bacon left a group
Of friends aud started toward the cloak
room for his oYercoat. As be passed
Congressman Cannon, Bacon alleges
the Congressman struck at him. I'm
medistely there was rapid inter
change Of blows, aud the brief conflict
eliminated by Cannon falling to the
floor from the blows which rained upon
him by the Senator from Edgar county,
and when Representative Meyer, Sena-
tor Campbell and others interfered, the
Congressman was in such dazod con-
tion as to be unable TO talk
for a few moments. His nose and
face was bleeding profusely, but none
OF his injuries appeared to be serious.
Bacon is young and powerful and es-
capped without a scratch. The Con-
gresham insists that Bacon provoked
the difficulty by brushing roughly
against him as he walked by and that
the Senator was in reality the aggres-
sor. Bacon maintains that Cannon
struck the first blow, and the general
conclusion is that both of the gentle
men were rather 'eager for the fray
Cannon is now an old man, and only
his we'll known courage would have i'm
pslled him TO a physical encounter with
one so many years his junior, and with
something of the reputation OF an ath-
lete. The friends OF both the gentle
men hustled them of to their rooms.

The Fire Arms Tax BIN.
b NIL Ii.Lsnrnfn % ~ Ralistsr.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, February s.
The bin offered by Delegate Chambers,
OF Logan county, requiring persons sell
ing revOlvers and pistols to pay a
license OF 500, has met with consider
able opposition, but has advanced to its
third reading in the House. 1t was
offered by Mr.. Chambers on account Of
the deplorable condition OF affairs
down in Logan county, where every
man and boy carries weapon In his
pistol pocket, and no stock OF goods in
pharmacy, grocery, ice cream psrlor,
undertaking establishment or millinery
store IS complete without an assOrt-
ment Of revolvsrs Of all sizes and pat
terms. The boys ia Logan imbibe freely
OF mountain dew" and frequently in
dulge in target practice upon the live
stock OF the farmers. Mr. Chambers
would have made the measure local
one, but feared it would not have
passed in that shape.

The sale Of the Panhandle Window Glass
Works Of this city is sure thing.
Thomas Everett, as agent for the pur-
chasers, received this afternoon check
for 500 to clinch the bargain and re-
ouested J. E. Curtis, attorney tor the
company, to make out the deed. The
purchasers are a company Of Pittsburg
glassworkers, with Mr.. Clark, who was
at one time manager of the works, at
the head. The price was low, oeing
So, 900. The works are expected to start
up as soon as the new owners can get
things shaped up. The old Panhadle
has been idle since the flood Of Febru-
airy, 1884, and had gotten to be an eye
sore to the citizens. Everybody is
pleased over the outlook.

INTERESTING TO OHIO COUNTY.
The Tax Levy BIN Occupies the Day Be-
fore the HOuse.


Sps-iql 7s,sgrla 90 ne Rsgstr.
CHARLESTON. w. VA, February s.
The important subject Of taxation was
discussed I'm the lower house Of the Leg
islaturs to-day. The measure under
consideration was the bin 20 change the
levy for general purposes from % TO 20
cents. and the school levy from 10 10 Is
cents. The matter was fully discussed
and further consideration postponed
until tomorrow.
The bill came up on its second read
ing, and Mr.. Br0ckunier, OF Ohio coun-
". offered an amendment chang
ing the school levy from fifteen
cents 20 ten cents. Mr.. Daud-
ridge took the floor TO speak upon the
amendment and made a strong argu-
ment in support of It. He made the
point that the Legislature, through the
platforms Of both Of the party nomina-
ting conventions, was committed 20 a
reduction of taxation. He was opposed
TO the bin because 10 imposed unequal
and unjust burdens upon the people.
Mr.. Dandridge's speech was one Of the
best of the session.
Mr.. Edwards, OF Kanawha, replied,
and was followed by Clark, Of Green
brier, and HofI, both Of whom were OPP
posed to the amendment. Mr.. Atkin-
son, OF Brooke, favOrd the bill, and was
opposed 10 Mr.. Br0ckunier's amend
ment. Mr.. Wilson, Of Ohio, was speak
ing I'm support Of the amendment when
the House took It's noon recess.
Upon reassembling. Mr.. Clark, Of
Upshur, presented some arguments In
favor of q high school rate. Mr..
Walker, of Berkeley, made probably
the most fOrcible and eloquent speech
OF the session ia opposition 20 the bin,
aud Ia support Of the amendment. He
called to the attention of members on
both sides that both the Democratic
and Republican platforms pledged the
parties 20 reduce taxation. On that
issue the two parties never
disagreed during the campaign. The
bill under consideration did not
propose reduction; whether hfreen
and twenty or twenty-five aud ten, it
was thlrty-fve cents on the SiO0 valua-
| ton Just the sane, and farmers through

CHARLESTON, w. VA, February s.
The statement in the IptelJtgeRCer OF
Tuesday that the Democratic members
are favoring a little ''force bill" is with
ont foundation. The correspondent
was i'm error as to the provisions Of the
bin. which were correctly reported In

pointmeut Of special cOnstables by the
Governor when the regular police
power is insufficient in any county, but
expressly provides that such OIL

advocated the passage of the bill befoFe
the committee stated that there was no
Dolitical significance attached TO IL.
Mr. cambridge. who introduced the

Equal Suffrage Club.

Mrs. Matt s. Hughes delivered an in
teresting address before the Equal Suf-
frage Club Saturday afternoon. The
points made by Mrs. Hughes, when
summed up, were these:
suffrage is the expression of opinion
in regard to matters of public interest;
woman is vitality affected by those ques-
tions, and upon them she has opinions
that have peculiar weight because of her
UNIQUE position. No one can be found
who would deprive woman of her opin-
ions. and with one voice those who OPP
pose woman's suffrage urge her to the
exc ton of the greatest influence in all
Questions that can affect home, commu-
nifty and nation. Such being the case, as
women we have right, right resting
on the basis of premises furnished us by
those who oppose our demand to ask for
the privilege of expressing,our opinions
and exercising our influence in the most
direct and effective way, namely by the
ballot. If the premises and conclusions
of this argument for woman's suffrage
are correct there can be no question as
to the justice of our cause. Ii our
cause is just, sooner or later it will pre-
vail.
