The first committee to be appointed will

And the case was actually settled
Yesterday and Mr.. Ford will be voted
10 to-day.
The man who was elected and who
holds the title to the seat, be 1t OBJ
served, was not regarded as having any
riehts in the premises, whatever. He
is Democrat. To be sure he was
elected by the people and the returns
show a majority for him, but his defeat
ed Republican opponent took a
notion TO contest his seat and that set
tied 1t. Such a thing as impartial exam
nation, or even the collection Of sutfi-
ciens and proper evidence, was
not thought Of. Haven't the Re-
publicans the majority in the
Legislature? What difference how
great was Mr.. Princes majority at
the polls so long as his Republican oppo-
nent has made q show OF contesting his
seat? The right OF the matter or the
peoples preference is not to DO cOnsid-
cred st all. Did not the judge in the
case, Mr.. Smith, according TO the Intel
igencer correspondent, tell how be in
tended to decide it before he had heard
it, or listened to q scintilla Of evidence?
Elected, or not. Mr.. Prince, the Demo
crat, must give uD his seat to his Re
publican contestant, who is contest
ant simply because there is Republi-
can majority in the Legislature, which
be has been assured will seat him re-
CARELESS Of the returns. Indeed,
being an EIkins man, there
was loud talk in the Intelligencer to the
effect that Mr.. Smith might not be
prompt enough to allow Ford to enter
the caucus for Elkins.

SAFE-BLOVERS
DID A NEAT JOB IN MARTINS FERRY, YES
TERDAY MORNING.
Tie Wa.chman at the Belmont Brewery Captured
Gagged and Found, and iao Safe Blown
and $50 in Cash ed.

About 1890 o'clock yesterday morning
i've masked men held up the watchmen
Of the Belmont Brewery, at Martins
Ferry, bound and gagged him, and then
blew open the safe aud riaed it Of its
contents TO the amount Of about $50.
The manner in which the job was
handled indicated that the gang con-
sisted OF some old hands at the bust
ness and that they knew something
about the affairs at the brewery.
John Bruny, the Waterman started TO
make his rounds about 1915 a. M, he
making his trip every half hour. While
on his way TO the lower corner OF the
5ottllng department, be saw 9 couple Of
men coming up Jefferson street. lie
was Just about TO pass the fellows when
three others jumped from behind the
corner Of the 0ottling department, each
with revolver leveled at Bruny. The
other two fellows grabbed Bruny's
arms and he was taken back TO the door
OF the bOttling room, which Bruny was
compelled to unlock. He was then hus-
tied around TO a side door which opens
into the room in which the Office is par
titiODed of. Here he was bound hand
and foot with piece OF canvass hose
and 3 rope, and gag made OF dirty
towel was placed over his mouth.
The pluDderers then began to work
on the safe, after leaving a man 10
guard Bruny and one 10 guard the door.
They began operations by drilling a
hole directly under the combination on
the safe. The explosive used was a
very strong one, as the outer
door OF the safe, which is a
very large one, was blown
of its hinges and across the room. The
GLASS 10 the Office windows was shat
tered, and the door was broken by the
shock The money obtained by them
did not amount TO more than $3.50, and
this was for the most part the wages of
the drivers, and was sealed up in enyel-
0UeS.
No clue to the parties could be OBJ
tanned by the Waterman, as each were
half masked. After the robbers had
left Bruny finally freed himself Of his
bonds and made the matter known.
Wednesday was collecting day, and
those connected with the robbery
seemed 10 know it and expected 10 make
a big haul, but were mistaken; as the
money as soon as collected was deposit
ed ia the bank.
This is one Of the most daring rob-
berries that Martins Ferry has been the
scene OF for many years. The explosion
was heard By several people living near
at hand, who were awakened by the
noiso, but paid no attention 10 IL.

THE SITUATION Axp PROSPECTS.


The indications are very decidedly
that We arc going to have another big
river in this neighborhood before the
week is out.
Just what stage the water will reach
could not be determined last night, but
that it will GO back into the upper
thirties seemed altogether probable
from all che Information which could be
obtained from headwater points last
night, which information appears at the
head OF this article.
The special enquiries made by the
Register yesterday and last evening
show that the rain was general along
the upper Ohio Valley, the valley of the
Beaver, up the Allegheny and along the
Youghiogheny, Conemaugh and other
Western Pennsylvania streams, while il
extended into West Virginia TO some ez-
tent along the TYgart Valley, upper
Monongahea and West Fork, and to
some smaller extent up the Cheat East
OF Grafton and Connellsville there
seems to have been a good deal OF snow
and little or no rain, for railroad men

Rev. Father o. 5. Moye, Of ST. Joseph's

"Rev. Father Moye, OF the Wheeling

evening ih well-chosen language, re-
calling the old times when the men wo-
men assembled there were happy
school children, and speaking OF the
great changes which had occurred in
the lives of those present since the
days when they were little ones
together. He also spoke at length
on the inestlmable value of an
education, aud the difference between
what constituted an education in an
cient times and now. He introduced
iuto his discourse q touching tribute to
Prof. James X. Bane, under whose
charge they were. He closed by saying
that as the people present met, many
of them for the first time in twenty
years, all gloom should be thrown
aside, and the warm feelings of friend
ship should animate every heart

file OF the Republican party In West
Virginia.
A sad state Of affairs is shown when a
good and reputable Republican such as
DR.. Holt, is refused hearing In
the organs Of his party because
he desires to advance the claims
OF another than Mr. Elkins for the
Senatorship. But in Dr. Holt these
Elkius organs have found one man who
declines to be suppressed aud TO swallow
the gross insult. He not only insists on
being heard in full but in making IL
very warm for the aforesaid organs
whose excuses for their hasty and i'll
advised acts he sets at naught, defying
them to the proof. he pretty effectualiy
disposes Of them as impartial Republican
journals in the Senatorial matter and
places the brand of Flkins upon them.

arriving in the city last evening report
ed a foot of snow east Of Grafton and
some distance east OF Pittsburg. One
Conductor said he passed through snow
drifts five feet deep near Altoona,
Yesterday morning. There was also
| considerable fall OF snow up the Ale
gheny, before daylight yesterday mora
| Ing, but much OF this was melted oy the
rain and rising thermometer during the
day. -
In this city the rainfall as observed
| by Mr.. Schnepf was LIS inches, or out
about a quarter of an inch less than the
precpitation of the two days at the be-
ginning of this week. OF this total rain
fall for the twenty-four hours ending at
nine o'clock last night, LOS fell during
Wednesday night, remarkably heavy
rain for about nine hours at this season
OF the year. The total rainfall for the
first ten days of January is now 1888
inches, as against total of 1893 in jan
nary. 1894, 200 for the month OF Janu-
airy, 1893, and 1924 for the month OF
January, 1892. II will thus be seen
that we have gotten good deal
more than the average rain for the
whole OF January in the first ten
DAYS OF the month, and the whole
country surrounding the headwaters
of the Ohio is saturated to Q CORES
bonding degree. The fact that the
mercury is a considerably distance above
the freezing point allows all this water
to run off, and with all the small
streams still bank full from the last
rise, the outlook is anything but re-
assuring. The report from Pittsbnrg
at ten o'clock last right was that the
river was IA feet and stationary, which
means that It will be coming up pretty
strong there by daylight this mourning.
Last evening there were great many
enquiries at the newspaper offices from
people in exposed situations as 10 what
the river was doing and what ii was 60
ing to do, indicating decided renewed
of interest in the condition of the
stream.
At midnight last night the wharf
marks showed stage of27 feet inch,
fall OF but 5 inches in the previous
three hours.
At two o'clock this morning the
wharf marks showed 20 feet 10 inches
and still falling at the rate OF about an
inch and half an hour. There was
stiff wind from the southwest, and rain
was falling, with decided indications OF
another wet morning.

he will not have any excuse for falling
to make good his declarations.
In the event OF the failure OF Hart
or White coming manfully 10 the front
and attempting TO sustain himself for
the cowardly attack upon me, | will
send for publication both the corrected
White manuscript, and the one sent to
the IntelIigencer, to the Register for
publication.
Their advantage as owners Of news
papers will make their course appear
moro cowardly aud reprehensible, and
they will find that good Republicans,
as Hart is pleased to call them, are
awake to justice and fair play.
Before Messrs. Hart and White are
exposed the Legislature may have
chosen Senator and no Republicans in
the State will more cheerfuly acQuiesce
in it's selection than the friends OF Gen
eral Goff but they, will never cease to
think OF the injustice Of such editors as
Hart and White, and always think that
their conduct will be reflection upon
