Unless all signs fail there will be
some interesting discussions at the Re
publican mass meeting at Mozart Hall
tonight. Some Of the prominent party
leaders decline to take any part in a
fight which they say should be con-
fined to the councilmen from the ward,
and for that reason openly announce
that they will not attend the meeting
Nevertheless there will, in all probabili-
ty, be a good sized crowd present the
anticipation of oratorical pyrotechnics
being sufficient to attract a great many
What the meeting will do is a matter
for conjecture. There is a strong senti-
ment in the ward which favors a pri-
mary election, but this is opposed by
DR.. w. &. Stathers and his friends.
In q card published yesterday, Dr..
Stathers defines his position 1t will
be remembered that he was the only one
of the six cOuncilmen from the ward
who refused to sign the call for the
mass meeting. In his explanation, DR..
Stathers states that he made an offer
Of compromise, which the other side
would not accept. lie is opposed to q
primary election, on the ground that it
would stir up bitter fight between
the friends Of the two candidates, and
would result in injury to the party.
A Register reporter had a COnversa-
tion yesterday with Councilman Hahne,
who is opposed to Dr.. Stathers candi-
date. Said Mr.. Hahne: DIT Sta,hers'
explanation was very weak il is true
that he suggested dropping both Mr.
Schue and DR. Ford, and selecting an
other man, but he declined to name the
man. MIR. Davidson reminded him
that John Deyine was a candidate and
I asked him if ne would vote for Deyine
lie replied that he would not. ! think
the Doctors idea of a compromise is
the selection Of another man to be
named by him.
Il don't agree with him in his views
regarding primary elections. The pri-
mary is conceded to be the very best
method Of securing the sentiment of tho
voters. The councilmen have held
their conferences, and have been un-
able to- agree, and as there appeared TO
be no prospects of the deadlock being
broken. the mass meeting was the very
best plan to settle the mater. If the
councilmen could not agree, then it
should be left to the voters If this
was not done the Enignth ward would
lose its representative ON the Board
1 nave always been willing TO accept
the majority decision, and shall do so
at tomorrow nights meeting.
In his card, Dr.. Stathers claims to
speak for three Of the councilmen. Two
of the three have signed The call for
The mass meeting. so it is apparent thas
he speaks only for himself With the
exception of the doctor. all of the coun-
cilmen from the Eighth ward appear
to be anxious to settle the matter. They
differ as to men, but agree that the
fight should be ended in some manner"

Cuucch street.
Mrs. Bone was working about the
kitchen stove about o'clock, when, in
some unknown manner, her clothing

an attempt to extinguish the fire by
running to another room for blanket

by her side.
Mrs. Martha McErtee, who lives
across the street from Mrs. Bone,

Of smoke issuing from the door and
windows Of Mrs. Bones residence. She
ran over TO see what was the matter,
and making her way into the kitchen
was astonished and Mortified to find
MIS-. Bone standing, almost uncon-
scious, in the middle Of the apartment
with her clothing in a blaze, and the
blanket at her feet Mrs. McEntee
seized the blanket and put out the
FIRE. tore the charred remnants Of the
clothing from the body Of the victim
and aid having been summoned by the
screams, Dr. Taylor was sent for and
soon responded. Everything that was
possible was done, but the shock and

Dennison. o., July SO.-TO-day's
game was a beauty from a Wheeling
point of view. the features being the
excellent fielding, and general au-round
work of the team, whose inield since
Ireland Joined them is a yeritable
stone wall. But the leading feature
and one most humiliating TO the people
of Twin Cities was the downfall OF
Swain, the Scio College wonder. He
is the man whom the fans proudly as
serted before the game would beat
Wheeling. folly Kane, or anybody,
put mp against him. They were so con-
ident of winning that they trimmed
the visitors bench in Grape, which was
transferred TO the Twins bench just
before the game ended.
Jack DMrah would have surely lost
what few Wheeling admirers he has left
could they have seen his actions in the
last inning to-day. when he called upon
the bleachers TO come down in the dia-
m0ud. They responded nObly, and
crowded around the catcher and first
base yelling and throwing dirt, and
anything they could get hold of, into
the faces of the Wheeling players. It
was certainly a most disgraceful scene
and is condemned by the majority of
the spectators, who believe in fair play,

Sistersville, July S0.-This morning
Charles Duther, a former saloonist, was
arrested by Sheriff Sine on an old
charge Of illegal Hqour selling. There
was considerable excitement incident
to the arrest and it was very amusing.
When arrested Duther telegraphed TO
his father-in-law, in New Martinsyille,
asking him to come and go on his bond,
Sheriff Sine was compelled to 80 to the
county seat on business and he left
Duther in charge of the constable Of
this district, Captain Way, and Way be
ing particularly busy on some business,
he deputized another man, whose name
could not be learned, to take charge Of
the prisoner until Sheriff Sine could
come back after him or he was let out
on bail. While in charge Of the special
officer Duther beguiled him down to
the river bank, and after walking
around short time, knocked him down.
After thus disposing of his guard,
Duther jumped over the river bank
and into skiff. He rowed across the
river to the Ohio side. At the recent
session of the Grand Jury there were
II indictments found against Duther
for illegal liquor selling. and it is prob
able he would have been sent up for
some time.
