CHARLESTON, w. VA, May 5.-A blk
Republican machine Is being built up
In Kanawha county by which that
party hopes to permanently retain con-
trsl OF all the county Offices and also to
increase the large majority the county
always gives for the Republicans. The
county court, q majority OF which is
Republican, has turned out every
Democrat who held any kind Of poS-
tiou subject TO the courts control and
filed their places with working Re-
publicans who are expected to use
their Offices and the little patronage
they may have at their disposal to build
up bigger vote than ever for their
party. Fitness for Office has In no In
stance been taken into consideration,
the only qualification requisite being
the supposed ability TO
SWELL THE REPUBLICAN VOTE
The court started of few days ago
Democratic road surveyors, and fol-
lowed IL up with the removal OF all the
other Democrats who held positions At
the pleasure OF the court Having
filed all the Offices with Republicans,
they have made the way clear for hav-
ing some effective campaign work done
by Republican office-holders. The road
overseers are TO look after the interests
Of the party In their respective pre-
cincts, ana all county funds are TO be
expended with the view primarily TO
making Republican votes.
The assessors and deputy assessor
have been ordered TO list all voters, as.

election In the fall. how be votso In

He HAD TO OBEY THE LAW.
Most Of the people tell all they know
about the political sentiments OF voters
without questioning the authority OF
the assessors. and in this way great
deal OF Republican campaign work can
bo done by public officers and paid for
out OF the public treasury. Tho Re-
publican leaders have decided to look
after the doubtful voter very closely
thi. year at the expense OF the whole
people.

BRYAN K. LYNN DEAD.

The We'll Known Broadswordsman
 of This City Stricken With Heart
 Disease In Brooklyn.
 Captain Bryan E. Lynn, the well known swordsman, who until recently lived in this city at A Lafayette street and who had been for the past six weeks connected with ". F. Cody's (B1halo BIlp-) Wild West show, died in South Brooklyn, where the show was exhibiting. The New York Sun says:
 The initial performance of the Wild West show at Ambrose Park, South Brook lyn, was marked by the death of one of the participants, Bryan E. Lynn, aged forty-three years, 8 member of the com- pany of Royal Irish Lancers. While sweeping around the mphi-theater with his squad, he dropped his lance just as he came near the front of the grand staud, and an instant later dropped of his horse.
 One of his fellow lapcers dismounted and picked him up, and with the assist ance of some of the attendants he was carried to a tent in the rear of the grand stand. A hslf-drunken spectator climbed over the enclosure, and, picking up the lance of the dismounted man, started to carry 1t off. Three policemen, after a lively tussle, dissrmsd him and hustled him of the grounds.
 Lynn was unconscious when he reached the tent. and died before the arrival of Dr. Hart of Third avenue, who had been hasti- ly summoned. Re had not been injured In h1 fh.a fol o1I h. thst his death was clearly due to heart disease, from which he had been suffering for some time. He is said to have been connected with the Brittsh army for ten years. Coroner Kane will hold an inquest tomorrow. There were not half dog An persons among the spectators who had any knowledge of the mans death.

ALMOST A MURDER.

 Kendall Arrived in the Nick of Time
 and Prevented Bloodshed.
 Wallace street, near Grand, was early last evening the scene of an altercstion be. tween two Italians, which had 1t not been for the timely interference of Officer Ken dail of the Grand avenue precinct might have resulted in a murder.
 Joseph Izzo of Wallace street and Dom mick zspelladillo of East street, became involved in quarrel because the latter had loaned $10 to Izso's wife without his knowledge. After . heated discussion Izzo drew . revolver from his hip pocket and levelled 1t ct the head of his antago- mist. Just at this time Officer Kendall came along and opportunely knocked the revolver out of the bloodthirsty Italiaa's hand and placed him under arrest charged with carrying concealed deadly weapons and breach of the peace. He will be tried in the city court this morning.
 Every chamber of the revolver was loaded and Iszo's finger was upon the trig- ger when ths weapon was knocked out of his hand.
