KORAN TIRED OF FREEDOM,
He Broke the Large Plate Glass Window
 in Brenner's Furnishing Store.


 in Brenner's Furnishing Store.
 w. J. Horan is in good way to add another page to his long police record. He will be arraigned this morning in the city court, charged with breaking a large plate glass window in Morris Brenner's gentlemen's furnishing store at the corner of State and Chapel streets. Horan went into the Western Union telegraph office a few minutes after 12 o'clock last night and asked for some money. He was refused the money and ordered out of the room. Horan either had a brick in his pocket or picked one up while crossing the street. He walked over to the George H. Ford building and stood a short time in front of it as if contemplating mischief. He then recrossed the street and standing on the curb threw the brick or stone through the window in MT. Brenner's store.
 Horan told the patrolman who ar- rested him that he intended to throw the brick through the window in the Ford building. but he thought it pity to break such fine glass. Horan, it was said at the police station this morning, does not stay out of jail very long at a time.

CHICAGO. August 7.-Mystcry still
surrounds the movements. OF the spe-
cial committee of the stock exchange.
It has given out no intimation as to

this committee seems to be able to give
out any information regarding the time
when the stock exchange Will again
open its doors for business It Is said
by some that had not the exchange
been closed the failure of the Moore
brothers would hRvc affected the finln-
cial interests OF Chicago as much as
did the Barring brothers downfall affect
England. This, however. Is only con-
lecture. The members Of tire commit
tee have refused to talk br give out any
information as to when the exchange
will resume business. Il Is reported
that the syndicate formed to settle Dia-
mond match contracts will take nil
stock In the name OF the Moorcs upon
basis OF $40 per share. It Ia estimated
that the Moore holdings amount to
about $4,000 shares. 1t Is also shid that
New York Biscuit can be bought as

CHARLESTON, W. Va. August L.
The two political events of the last
twenty-four hours have been the re-
turn from Washington OF stnte Chair
man Chiffon and short visit OF Col
onel Clarence L. Smith, to this city.
Mr.. Chiffon came In yesterday at 1913
p. M, and during tho afternoon spent
several hours In consultation with Mr..
Watts. Another conference was held
during the evening.
Mr.. Chiffon was mute as to his ac-
tions and his purpose In going to Wash
lnston. II Is thc supposItlon that his
business at the national capital was to
arrange for sincws OF war for the cam
paign and the report Is that he was
promised specified amount and the
holder OF the purse string designated.
II Is Known that on Tuesday he was
Mt National Chairman Jones' heaIQuar-
terJ ana with Chauncey +. Black, Of
Pennsylvania, md others, and had Il
long conference with Senator Faulkner,
chairman OF the national congressional
committee.
Senator German. OF Maryland, the
real chairman uf the national Demo-
cratic committee, was present, and 1t Is
thought matters were arranged aatls-
fact0rily 10 all concerned.
Mr.. Chiffon left for Wheeling nj 4
o'clock this afternoon, stopping over
tonight at Parkcrsburg. Mr.. Watts left
Tor Wheeling this morning.
Colonel Clarence l.. Smith slipped or
from his regiment Mt Camp Holly this
morning and came here. He sought Mr..
Ohlcy and the two spent an hour or
so In earnest consultation with leading
Democrats, returning to Huntington
this afternoon. He says he does not
feel In the least discouraged over the
outlook and knows he will be felt In
the convention. He positively denied
any connection with the alleged trl-
umvlrate. Mr.. Oh!ey speaks confident
ly OF Colonel Smiths chances.
II Is said the military politician will
have between $50 and 800 votes on the
first ballot and has excellent staying
qualities. Mr.. Ohley will say nothing
regarding the strength Of the other cam
dldates, pleading ignorance, but saws
OF the state Is becoming
tired OF wearing Kannwha's collar, and
this year Will mike n desperate effort
to throw Il on.
