ABOUT HOWARp.

The readers of the TELEGRAM
will be interested in the man
whom the Democracy of the first
district have selected as Capt.
Doyener's victim, and little
sketch ofhis career may not be
out Of place here.
John A. Howard, the Demo.
cratic nominee for Congress, is
the present prosecuting attorney
of Ohio county. Hehas certainly
had a fortunate career. 0rigi-
nally a glassworker, employed in
South Wheeling, he became sec.
ratary of the American Flint
Glass Workers Union, and while
holding that position he began
the study of law. Subsequently
he was appointed private secre-
tary to Gov Il. w. Wilson, re-
naming throughout his term.
When he left thatiofiice he began
the practice of law in Wheeling,
and was in partnership with Hon.
J. 3. Sommerville when he de-
feated Hon L. S. Jordan for the
Democratic nomination forprose-
cutting attorney, and was elected
to the Office.
Mi. Howard is a popular man,
q member of the Roman Catholic
church and of several Catholic
societies, good speaker, and
will doubtless make a vigorous
campaign.

A serIous Runway.

On last Saturday Harvey AID
ans, who lives on his farm near
Evansville, in the adjoining coun-
ty of Marion, was engaged with
two horses and a scraper in ex-
cayating for a barn foundation.
His horses became frightened at
the rattle of the scraper, and
started torun away. Mr.. Adams
seeing the condition of affairs,
hurried around in front of the
team, thinking that ne might
hold them by the bride. But
no sooner did he reach for the
reins than the horses dashed for
ward, knocked him down, jumped
on him and dragged the huge
IRON scraper overhim, which tore
his clothes FROM his person, and
even tore the shoes from his
feet. The team ran a short dist.
ance, wheeled around and would.
haye-succeeded in running over
MIN again had it not been for
his wife, who was standing near.
and at that moment seized the
reins and stopped them. 1t was.
plainly seen that the off horse
was bent on killing his master,
and no doubt would have sue.
ceeded had it not been for his
wife checking them. After a
short time Mr.. Adams walked to
his house, where he took his
bed. A physician was summoned,
and on examination it was found
that four of his RIBS were broken,
besides many bruises both inter-
nal and external. His present
condition is critical.

IN every town, but they do not
meet oil the demands. Buck.
harmon has two schools in addi-
ton to her public school, and
every town of any Importance in
the State has some kind of an
institution to accommodate pu.
pills who are non.residents as

To be without such an institution
in a town like Clarksburg is to
be far behind the times. We had
such a state of affairs last year,
but this year we are right in
front. By the expenditure of
over twelve hundred dollars on
Broaddus it has been put in bet,

complicated Que, and while he
BIN said that he was not a cam

thought that he would be put be-

hated. The convention was called

Frank Jepson aud DR.. Douglas

prayer.
Mr. W. E. R. Byrne was made

AFTERNOON.
The delegates entered the court
house promptly, only those hold

the door, which was guarded by
r. o. Crummit and M. S. Con-
pen. The temporary organiza-
ion was made the permanent
one. and all the committees re-
ported except the one on resolu-
lions and, Las was anticipated, they
we're having a stormy time, and
for over two hours, while nothing
was before the house, there was a
scene of confusion and disorder,

ne themselves from the "bottled

INTO the convention and imbibed

ended With marked abllity ana

tliliS 1olloWeu anu several merry
speeches were made. The in.
domitable Deputy Marshal, Tom
Horror, although not a delegate
fairly raised the roof denounc.
ing the democratic Senator'S.
The majority report was finally
adopted and it was getting late
when the chairman announced
the result.
The platform having been.
adopted at last, after the whole
afternoon had been wasted in
wrangling, nominations were in
order. The nominating speeches
were limited to five minutes and
two and a half minutes for sec.
onds.
The roll of counties was called.
Brooke gave away to Ohio, and
Colonel Arnett, who had decided
not to enter the race, arose to
nominate John A. Howard, which
he did gracefully, and at his con
clusion there were tremendous
cheers for Howard.
Mr.. Byrne. for Braxton coun.
ty. nominated James B. Fowler,
of that county, whose name was
also cheered.
o. Lee Wolfe, of Harrison,
nominated Winfield Scott, of Har.
rison. * Z
Mr.. Brannon, of Lewis, an.
nounced the withdrawal of Mr..
Lewis and seconded Mr.. Towards
nomination.
Mr.. Foster, ofLewis, seconded
Fowler's nomination.
William Lorentz, of Marshall,
placed in nomination Joseph w.
Gallaher, of that county, and
Capt. Delaplain seconded the
nomination.
The result of the ballot was as
follows: Howard So, Fowler 3s,
Scott 25, Gallaher AZ, Pendleton
Is, McEldowney 10.
As will be seen some of the
above had not been placed in
nomination.
A second ballot was ordered.
A friend of Mr.. Fowler withdrew
his name and thanked the con-
yention for the honor that had
been conferred upon him.
Mr.. Fowler's vote was third
and was decidedly complimentary
to that gentleman. Then the
handsome face of Joe Gallaher,
of Marshall, appeared aud some
one yelled ''let Ter go Gallaher, I"
but Joe was there to express his
appreciation of the honor already
done him and then gracefully
retire.
The second ballot began amid
some excitement. The withdraw
al of Gallaher and Fowler reliev-
ed the tension and many specula-
tions were INDUCED in as to where
their strength would go.
1t was thought there was a
possibility for the Pendleton
movement. Brooke county PUNK
ed her eight votes to Howard,
and Hancock followed with an
other plunker. Gilmer gave him
two. He gained several votes
in Lewis and seven in Marshall.
Marshall started a boom for
our own Col. Ben Wilson with six
votes for him. Wetzel went as
she did befare. Braxton Fowl
er's own county, assisted the
Pendleton move with ten votes
and gave six to Howard. Ohio
county gave Howard Ala this
time and helped the Pendleton
business with eight. Tyler d.
vided between Scott and Pendle-
ton.
Howard now had s4 votes.
Doddridge helped Pendleton with
IA votes. Harrison increased
her Howard vote to 10, which
gave him within four of the nomi-
nation.
Gilmer county changed and
gave her four votes to Howard,
which nominated him.
His friends went wild for
while, and in a short time the
nomination was made unanimous.

when the vote was taken it was
generally thought that it carried
but the chair ruled that it was
lost amid a number of protests.
The Register correspondent de.
scribing the convention at this
point says "The scene was one
of wild disorder, almost unpar-
alleled in the history of political.
conventions in the First Com
gressional district. Twenty dele
gates went on their feet at one
time, vainly c,amoriLg for recog.
milton from the chair, and with.
the other delegates trying to cry
them down. The spectators stood
in the aisles and encroached upon
the space reserved for the dele
gates
II
Mr.. Ira G. Post was practical
ly ignored when he offered
his time honored afree coinage
plank. Z Itwas the first time in
the history of conventions in this
county that a delegate was not
allowed to present a resolutions.
Mr.. Post, however, was a farmer
and not in the ring. SO he had to
get out when the whip was
cracked.
II
Mr.. w. Scott has cause to be
righteously indignant and the.
manner IN which he was treated
in this as in the county conven.
ton, will not materially help the
Democracy in the coming con
test. Mr.. Scott has spent his
life working for the Democratic
party without reward, honors or
thanks, and to be denied the com
pliment of a full and cordial ex-
preston from his own county
was base ingratitude.

In the Harrison county delega-
ton there was asharp contest be-
tween Mr.. Wolfe and E.e. Smith,
Esq, for the position of honor.
viz; a place on the conmittee on

gave the position to Mr.. Smith BY
a handsome majority. In this
position Mr.. Smiths original and
versatile mind fortified him for

DICK STILL SICK.
His Trial Is Once More
Continued.
Judge Murphy Not Satisfied With
CounsePs Explanations, and
Wants to See the Physician.

Yesterday was the day set for the trial
of r. III. Mcdonald Jr., Hiram 7. Graves,
Charles Montgomery and A. l.. Jenkins
for embezzlement Of the Swanberg Sc
curities from the Peoples Bank. But once
again has Judge Murphy been compelled
to grant continuance on the ground of
the severe sickness of Dick Mcdonald.
When the cases were called yesterday
morning Attorney Livernash stated that
his client through sickness was unable
to appear. He was in the hands of q
physician at the County Jail, and was at
present unable to leave, the room. 1t
would be necessary under the circum-
stances to ask for a continuance of the
case.
Where is the physician in attendant e
upon Mr.. Mcdonald and who is hep" i'm
patiently asked Judge Murphy.
1t Is DR.. Davis. your Honor" replied
Livernash. "Dr. Davis gives it in his
opinion that Mr.. Mcdonald is quite unfit
20 appear"
THAT won't do" returned the Judge,
u must have DR.. Davis here so that may
Judge for myself. Adjourn the case until
z o'clock this afternoon and have DR..
Davis here by them"
Wnen o'clock came the parties reas-
embed IN court, bnt DR.. Davis was not
forthcoming Instead. Mr.. Livernash pro-
duced certificate signed by the physician
declaring Mr.. Mcdonald unable to leave
his room.
This won't do" again remarked Judge
Murphy. Il told you that 1 desired to
nave the physician in attendance, in order
that might question him myself and find
out tho extent OF Mr.. McDonald's illness.
l want TO find out when this trial is likely
to proceed"
Your Honor" pleaded Livernash, "Dr.
Davis would have been here but the notice
served upon him was 100 short"
Well, let him come Tomorrow morning,
then, and with that Judge Murphy ad-

O'Clock. vi the other three defendants it
Is said that Charles Montgomery chafes
most at the delay. He is strong in the
conviction that he will be soon able to
snow matters up in an entirely new light.
