The Richie County EHoeatiye COmmittee
Presents the Claims Of Hou. p. w.
Morris.
HEADQUARTERS RrTcHiE CoUSrY
REPUBLscAE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE,
RITcHIE Q. H., w. Va, Nov. 10, 1894. }
To ae Editor OftA< IAi<l7ena1
srE:-In behalf Of the Republicans Of
Richie county wo wish 10 call attention
to the fact that we have candidate for
speaker of the house Of delegates. in the
person Of our representative. the Hon.
z. W. Morris
We think we eau justly say that our
county is deserving Of this recognition,
as We have never faltered in our allegi.
ance 70 Republican principles. and for
years have been one Of the banner Re.
publican counties in our congressional
district.
Mr. Morris Is deserving Of the honor
70 which he aspires, having been in the
newspaper business for twenty years,
vaiiantiy battling for the best interests
oil the party. He has had ample expe-
Renee to equip him for the position,
having served his district in the state
senate for period Of eight years. BE
was elected 10 the senate In 1884 from
the Third senatorial district, being the
first Republican senator from this dis.
tFist since 1872. He was reelected In
1888 by n handsome majority. In the
senate he attained honorable distinction
as q parliamentariau OF rare ability.
His influence was felt on the floor and
in the committee room. He IS an able
aud ready debator and was among the
foremost in all the important debates.
The senate, as fitting recognition OF
his ability and power, made him one Of
the members OF the joint committee on
the Gof-Fleming contest 10 1855, and
the sound and able manner in which he
discharged the laborious duties OF this
responsible position, is alone sufficient
grounds to entitle him to the honor We
ask for him at the hands OF the Repub-
lican party.
He possesses that calm deliberatlye
judgement and knowledge Of parlia.
mentary law which arc essential quail
ties in a good presiding officer.
While Mr.. Morris Is an aspirant for
tho position, he is making no aggressive
canvass for the place but is leaving the
selection OF u proper presiding officer TO
the calm sober judgment of the assemb.
ly when it meets in Charlie
We therefore respectfully solicit mem
bers to reserve the expression OF their
choice OF candidates until the field can
be looked over aud the relative merits
OF the several candidates can be care
fully considered.
Voicing as we do the united wishes Of
the Republicans OF our county, We take
pleasure in commanding to your atten-
ton the candidacy Of our favorite son
and express the hope that it may be
the pleasure Of the Republican majority
to bestow upon him the honor we ask
for him at their hands.
Very truly yours,
". Z. TALBOT. Chairman.
H.B. WooDs, Secretary.

OMAHA, Nm, Nov 22.-siiss Kate
purkee, whose connection with Holmes,
the insurance swindler. has been 80
widely herllded, and who it was
thought might have been murdered, is
living in this city with her brother, as
sis,ant auditor Of the Burlington road.
Miss Durkee says che only knew
Holmes through his wife, with whom sho
was intimate in her childhood. She
had visited Mrs. Holmes frequently In
Chicago, and during one of her visits
the real estate deal which brought her
into prominence was enacted. This was
about four years ago. Holmes asked
Miss Durkee as favor to allow him to
transfer his city property TO her. he
said that as he Wus situated at the time
il would be great convenience. Miss
Durkee consented without asking ques-
tons.
He explained ut the time that it was
only matter Of form, and being igno.
rant OF business affairs she accepted his
statement as being true. The property
was decided to her and she never had
the deed recorded. Some time alter
ward DR.. Holmes came to her and re-
oues.ed her to have him appointed as
her administrator, go that he could
handle the property as he wanted to.
She did so and at his request decided
the property to Imam In Chicago named
Campbell, but ahe does not know who
he il or what was his occupation. After
this Holmes sent her some stock in
some enterprise in which he was inter-
ested. asking her to keep 1t for him
awhile. In the latter part OF May or the
first Of June, 1892, Holmes aud several
other persons came to Omaha to take
her deposition regarding the property.
Each OF them were represented by law
yers. also from Chicago, and one OF them
explained at the time that they had
been Of the opinion that she was n
mythical person. The cause OF their
coming here was suit brought against
Holmes by some drug company in Chi
cago, TO whom he owed sum OF money.
This was the last OF tho transaction be-
tween DR.. Holmes and Miss Durkee.
After the transfer Of the properly to
her, Miss Durkee was summoned to
omaha by telegraph on account Of the
sudden illness OF her brother, and she
left without an opportunity to explain
her unexpected departure. This, she
believes, Is the explanation Of the
theory that she was murdered.
List August Miss Durkee again went
10 Chicago. Holmes was out Of the
city, aud she was told by Mrs. Holmes
that no had gone to Philadelphia to at
tend to some business regarding an in
surance case. Miss Durkee says she is
almost sure that the name mentioned
was Pitzel and that Holmes went in be-
half OF Mrs. Pitzel.

CLEVELAND, Nov 22.-The Iron Trade

elements in any forecast OF the iron and

another one-the country's consump-

with the railroads, once mainstay OF
the steel mills, buying less than in the
disastrous second half OF '93.
At Pittsburgh there has been light
buying in Be.semer pig and steel billets,

A SIGN OF THE TIMES.
Capitalists Buying Timber Tracts
from the Southern States.

WASHINGTON, Nov. ga sign Of tho
times that should be OF special interest,"
to the South, is conveyed in report to
the State Department for the United
States Consul at Chatham, Canada,
upon the general subject of effect Of the
new tariff in Western Ontario. Among
other things he notes the fact that the
large stave industry there with mills
In Michigan as well an Ontario,
have resumed manufacturing but have
been compelled to give tho benefit OF the
removal OF 10 per cent. duty to the con-
sumer. Contracts for the next years
will show a saving to the consumcr
OF from to 10 per cent. and with only
fve years timber ahead to cut from, it'll
not likely they will 60 aay lower.
The capitalists behind this Ind uxtry'
are buying timber tracts from the
Southern states for future supply. Csna-'
dians are also beginning to- buy yellow
pine from the Southern states in larger
quantities for flooring, joisting and inside
finishing. The freight from Alabama Is
about equal to cost I. o. b. there, but its sale
in Canada will steadily increase. Besides
cherry and walnut, Norway pine, oak and
poplar, used in Canada, must come from
the United States in future a. tho native
stock is nearly exhausted.

MAYOR OLNEY REELECTED,
The Municipal Election Was Very Close in Larger
Vote Than Last Year.
City Joint Ballot Will Be 40 Republicans ana 10 Democrats
Fuller and Knight Defeated

Republican Frank Fuller Olney was re-
elected Mayor OF Providence yesterday.
Daniel l.. ID. Granger, the candidate of
Republicans and Democrats, was re-
elected city treasurer yesterday.
Thomas Gardner, Republican candidate
day.
Matthew J. Cummings was reelected as
Overseer of the poor yesterday.
In the next Common Council there will
be 81 Republicans and Democrats.
In the next Board of Aldermen there
will be eight Republicans and two Demo-
Gratis.
The municipal contest was the closest
that ever occurred in Providence, and un-
sxpectedly SO. Fights in the different
wards over Council tickets were the rule
rather than the exception, but no one
dreamed that the vote for the head OF the
ticket was to run so evenly. The total
vote for Mayor was 1889. Mayor Olney
received SS28, and Mr.. McGuinness $685.
At 8 o'clock yesterday forenoon the
Democratic candidate admitted that he
was not In the fight and three hours after
the opening of the polls he conceded the
election to his Republican opponent by
several hundred plurality. At midnight
he was in the executive department at city
hall and then had almost as much reason
for expecting victory as did the present
incumbent. And no one pretended to tell
the reason why. At noon the reports from
the different voting districts was ga big

Gratis staying away" The situation was
reversed somewhat in the last half OF the
day.
member of the Democratic city COM
mittee said in the afternoon "the people
won't come out because they have an idea
we have money to use and they are waiting
for it," And the correctness OF the "peo-
pies" sizing up OF the situation was
proved before o'clock.
An amount of money, estimated at all
the way from $1,000 to SIS, 900 was brought
into the fight and the results were aston
ishing. Perhaps II there had been few
more hundreds or IL the same amount
had been forthcoming earlier in the
needy districts the plurality of 154 for
Mayor Olney might have been materially
decreased.
Granger Reelected.
City Treasurer Granger was reelected
by the voters Of both parties who gave
him plurality Of 1892 in q total vote of

Overseer OF the Poor Cummings added
