EARLY THIS MORNING.

Work Resumed at One A. VI and Pushed
Right Along Upon the Course Previously
Pursued.
The gang Of workmen resumed their
labors at one o'clock this morning, and
nearly frightened the life out of Fire
Chief Healey. Sheriff Franzheim, and
one or two others. who had penetrated
to the cellar Of the Hutchisson build
ing by the rear way. These gentlemen
were INVESTIGATING the lay Oh the land
with lantern, while the workmen
above were quietly tiejug rope to a
section OF Jin root. They hiJChed this
t1 cart and q moment later there
was @ racket which startled every one

done. however, and everybody had a

nasty cold rain Set in, and it was a

SEEKING TIE CAUsE.
The Government Taking Steps to Inquire
Into the High Price OF Beef.

Into the High Price OF Eeef.
Washington, d. c., April 13.-Dr.
Salmon. chief of the Bureau of Animal
Industry. is preparing instructions to
agents in accordance with Secretary
Morton's directions to investigate the
cause Of the high price OF beef pro
duets. and what influence the trust
has on the prices. The inquiry will
be carried on at Chicago, St Louis,
Kansas City. and other points where
the bureau has a force Of experts.
St. Ex-Governor II. G. Brok
never has returned from trip
throughout the southwest as far as
Corpus Cristi, Texas, and brings with
him information bearing upon the live
stock industry and the prevailing high
prices of beef. From facts given him
il would seem that the excessive cost
of beef is not due so much to a so
called combine as to a greatly reduced
supply of cattle. The Governor out
lines these as follows:
First-A reaction resulting from
overproduction since 1888.
Second-A five years continuous
drought in the breeding belt Of Texas.
Third-The high price of corn and
consequent decrease of the supply of
corn-fed cattle.
Fourth-A prolonged winter and re-
shifting six weeks delay in the pro-
duction of grass-fed cattle on the mar
ket due to late grass crop in the In
dian Territory and Texas.

at Midnight sample of What May be
Expected.
Special to the Register
Sistersville w. Va, April 13.-The
crusade is still on. No more arrests
have been made simply because those
who are not wanted, under warrants
sworn out for their arrest, are out OF
town for their health.
All saloons are closed and last night
for the first time the gamblers got a
tip and rooms were dark.
Thursday warrants were sworn out
for the men running speakeasy boats,
but constables found the crafts empty,
cleaned up of anything that looks like
booze, and the men and girls enjoying
the salubriOus air of the Ohio side.
However, when night comes down,
high carnival is held on the boats and
the red decoction and the amber fluid
flow stronger than the waters of the
river.
The grand jury has not yet reported
and is being held over until next week
This looks as if the court has entered
into a game of freezout with the men
who are wanted, but who are out Of
town until the session of the grand
jury is a thing of the past.
At Middlebourne yesterday evening
a dose was administered that may be
sample of what is to come. An old
indictment was hanging over Tom
Campbell, who runs a place on Water
street. The case was called up and
the sentence of the court was $100 fine
and ninety days in Jail. Mr.. Camp
bell, by the way, is one of our citizens,
who is out of town for his health.

willis Never Received the Note Demand
ing Thurston's Recall.

Willis Never Received the NOte DeuiAAU-
ing Thurston's Recall.
New York, April ia special to
the World from Washington says: A
surprising theory has been suggested
by a State Department official to ac-
count for the failure OF Minister Willis
in Honolulu to receive the note Of Sec
retary Gresham requesting the recall
of Minister ThurstOn. No charges are
made, but it is very clearly shown that
a suspicion exists in the department
that the letter reached Honolulu, but
never got any further than the postof-
fee. 1t is believed that an investiga-
tiOn is being prosecuted along this line.
1t was intimated that after the fact
became known here that the letter had
been mailed there was plenty of time
for a telegram TO be sent to San Fran
cisco to be forwarded on the same
steamer with the letter.
Two things seem to be certain, one
that the letter was mailed on March 9
in this city in time to reach the steam
er sailing for Honolulu March q, and
the other that Hawaiian advices, dated
April (. quote Minister Willis as say
ing that he had received no informa-
ton regarding Minister Thurst0n's de-
manded recall, except what he had
read in the newspapers brought out by
the steamer that sailed from San Fran
cisco on the 21st. The Hawaiian gov
ernment stated that the only notice it
has received regarding Minister Thurs
ton was telegram saying that he was
on his way home.

no Yerifcation of them can be made
An analysis of the coffee left in the
pot is being made.

Carson Mint Fraud

Washington, D. c., April 13.-The
Chief of the Secret Service Of the
Treasury Department learned tonight
that the investigation into the short
age at the Carson City mint had cul-
minated to-day in the arrest of the

by Chief Hazen from one of the agents
of the bureau on the scene:
Carson, Nevada, April 19, 1895.

ously taking and carrying away gold
and silver metals, property Of the
United States, of the value Of $4,000.
Bail. $25, 900. Dfendant in custody
of United States Marshal
(SigneD HARRIS"
The secret service agents have been
working upon the case for six weeks
and have drawn the lines so closely
around the official who is under arrest
that Chief Hazen feels reasonably GER
tain that his conviction will be brought
about.

Rev. f. r. Donehoo:

you, greatly appreciated.

oiic Mirror, of Baltimore, l send you.
This unjustifable misconstruction Of
anOther's words and motives, INDUCED
in by Rev. McCrory, is unworthy OF
any honest man.
The Offense is only aggravated when
committed by one who is a leader Of
others, and who processes to teach the
doctrine of truth and charity.
1 am happy to think that this man
is not a fair specimen of the Christian
preachers. The knowledge that have
from a personal acquaintance with
reverend gentlemen of every denomi-
nation convinces me that the Rev. Nc
Crory is an unfortunate exception in
a body of honorable and respected
Christians.
I am glad you recall the occasion
when I had the pleasure Of making
your acquaintance, and l trust an op-
portunity Will some day be afforded
me Of renewing that acquaintance, and
acknowledging in person your grace
full act of justice and charity.
Faithfully yours in Christ,

AN UNSAVORY CASE.

A Young Husband Divides His Time For
Two Years Between His Wife and a
Youthful Mistress-The Wife Asks Di-
vorce.
New York. April 13-AIrs. Ida G.
M. Wilson has an action in the Su-
perior Court for divorce from her hus-
band. Ed. C. Wilson, who at one time
is said to have been prominent IN
Philadelphia. Among the afiidavlts
is one from Henry Ellis, of Philadel-
phia. whose 14-year-old daughter is
named as the correspondent in the
suit, and the father is forced as
witness for the plaintiff to tell the
story of his daughters downfall.
Mrs. Wilson says that she was mar
ried to the defendant in Kemblett,
Pa. on September 19, 1887. She lived
with her husband until his actions
with Fannie Ellis came to her notice.
Mr.. Ellis, in his affidavit, swears
that his daughter disappeared in 1890,
and that, knowing Wilson had been
seen with her, he taxed the latter with
knowing the girls whereabouts. Will
son denied having any knowledge OF
her and Ellis kept up the search for
a year. At the expiration of this time
he found her, and she admitted having
been with Wilson all this time and that
he had betrayed her.
In April, 1892, Fannie, who was then
16 years old, gave birth to a child.
She told her father that Wilson was
the father, and he had Wilson ar
rested. In the Central Station in
Philadelphia, Wilson was held in 81
600 bail by Magistrate Pole. The case
however, was never brought to trial,
as Ellis says his daughter compro-
missed the matter with Wilson. Fan
ME, he says, is now the inmate OF a
reformatory near this city, the name
of which he does not mention.
