ELKINs. W. Va. Sept. 5.-The Repub'
licans of the Second congressional dis
trict never had SO large convention as
that which nominated Alstone Gordon
Dayton of Barbour county to run against
Chairman w. L. Wilson for congress.
Ex-President Harrison arrived at l p.
m. and is the guest OF ex-Secretary Eli
kins. A committee was appointed to
call upon the ex-president and invite
him to address the convention. He was
greeted with loud applause. Mr.. Harri-
son, after stating that he had not ex-
pected to make q speech, said in part:
"You are assembled to discharge
public duty and I will not, therefore,
detain you with any speech. This dis
trict will be before all eyes this autumn.
This contest 10 not local. 1t happens
that your present represent tative has
been assigned to prepare the tariff bill
and has attached his name to it,
1t is expected, therefore. that his
conduct will be subjected to severe
scrutiny. Fortunately the procla-
nation has been made by President
Cleveland and Mr.. Wilson that the tariff
bill is not fnality. but this distinctive
warfare is to go on. Ii you approve this
chow it by returning Mr.. Wilson to oon-
gress; but If, on the other hand. you
have felt the effects OF the depression; II
you think more of those who prefer to
lead the country out of the slough of
despond, show it by defeating him.
Icannot say much Of the last admins
tration; delicscy forbids me to say much
of this; but ii you consider my heads of
departments and subordinate officers
you will see there was an attempt to act
for the best interests of all the people.
l cannot say how we have succeeded,
but only that We have done the best we
could, If the people at the elections
this fall condemn the recent action
on the tariff, we shall have an end OF the
tariff tinkerines. When the tide OF emil
grafton started from the seaboard, it
turned to Ohio and the interior valleys,
but it is now turned toward West Vir-
ginia. Now the spring of commerce is
coursing through our fertile valleys. The
| pick and shovel are busy. Is this
time, through the cheap ocean rates. to
bring into competition with your pro-
ducts the cheap coal of Nova Scotia? l
speak as patriotic American, who feele
an interest in the honest people. BY
your judgment, by the quiet November
fresides, this question must be settled
and may you have the courage to do
your duty"
Ex- -PreSident Harrison was received
with enthusiasm and his brief speech
applauded at various points.
Ex-Secretary of War Elkins is better
today, and his physicians pronounce his
illnee9 as not dangerous.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Senator Dubois
of Idaho would not be questioned today
concerning the action OF Senator Jones
OF Nevada in leaving the Republican
party, except to cay that any reports
concerning similar move on his part
had no foundation. He leaves for the

knowledge that another train in the OPP

was liable to be met anywhere in the
dense smoke and fiery flames, and ter
rible ride over the 120-fcot bridge across
the Kettle river, which was blazing and
trembling under the wheels, apparently
ready to fail. Fifteen minutes after tho
train passed, the bridge went down. 1t
was at this time that crowd of alleged
men crowded into the cab and begged
Engineer Berry to uncouple the train
and carry them to safsty, leaving the
people in the cars to perish. They were
summarily thrown out by the engineer,
and the trainload of precious freight
finally hauled to a place of safety.

Hogan's feet were so badly blistered
that he wes compelled TO take to his
hands and knees. Kelly in the mean
time bad dragged himself TO the head of
a ravine, where he lost his head, and
