certain that the next Congressman from
this district will be a Democrat. War
rem Miller will be renominated by the
Republicans. The fight for the DEM
ocratic nomination is a warm one and
some excellent timber is in sight.
From a gentleman who has made a
careful canvass OF the district, the Reg
iSter's representative learned to-day
that the prevailing sentiment among the
voters is for the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver, and any candidate
who is in any other boat will not be
very strongly supported especially in
Wood county, where at the convention
held yesterday those assembled fairly
went wild when the resolutions in favor
of the white metal were passed. and the
fight on the financial question is all
that can now be expected, as the tariff
has drifted from the minds of the vot-
ers and the platform of the party de-
claring for free silver will draw the
voters as the tariff never was known TO
do.

RELIlAIRE.

There was a large amount TO curiosity
shown concerning the election OF dele
gates to the county convention TO meet
at S.. Clairsville Tuesday. The CALL
was for one delegate from each precinct
to meet and elect delegates to the State
convention. In the meantime call
was made by the congressional commit
tee for a convention at Steubenville on
June Is. but the county committee made
no provision for the election OF con-
gressiOnal delegates. The free silver
men look upon this as an effort to down
at Steubenville by the county central
committee appointing the delegates 70
the congressional convention. And in
the First. Second and Third wards Of
Bellaire congressional delegates were
elected and will contest Tor seats In the
conven lion, but their election without
a call is palpably illegal. The proper
thing to do now will be for The county
DELEGATES to elect congressional dele
gates Tuesday at ST. Clairsville. This
will be the best and cheapest way to set
tie the sQuabble. Ii was the occasion
of a fierce wordy war between two hot
tempered Democrats o the Fourth ward
on Saturday and caused words to be
said that will be regretted. The coun-
ty delegates were elected as follows;
First ward. NJ. Huffman Second ward,
Mike Lynskey; Third ward, George H.
Muth: Fourth ward Precinct A, James
T. Kelly, Precinct B, Thomas Ault;
Fifth ward. George w. Yost. Of these
Kelly and YOst are for sound money,
the balance for free silver. Also the
one elected from the township is for
free silver. There was no contest
against the silver delegates except in
the Fourth ward; and in Precinct A
sound money won by a vote of IL to
Is. while in Precinct B silver won by a
vote of to 4.
Tonight will close up the Catholic
bazaar. 1t has been a great success and
a very nice sum of money has been rea-
lied. Father Wehrh says they are
about $50. 900 in debt, but will be able
to pay out in two and one-half years.
And if times improve it would be paid
off in much shorter time. and then he
would propose to build large, commo-
dious church. probably across the street
from the new school house. The cake
walk was hustler. About fifteen cou-
pies entered it. The band played a
march and flag was passed from lady
to lady while marching. and the lady
holding the flag when the band stopped
got the cake. A Miss Murphy was the
lucky miss to hold the flag. Hackett's
band furnished some first class music.

EXTENSIVE OPERATIONS
BY Thieves on the Line of the Dry Forl
Railroad

Railroad.
Special to the Register.
Cumberland, Nd, June IA band OF
thieves have been infesting Red Creek,
village in West Virginia, on the line
of the Dry Fork railroad. So many
robberies have been committed that
the villagers are aroused and deter
mined to break the gang up. Last
night the store of J. B. Shoupe was rob-
bed, and the news spreading througout
the town forty masked men started out
in search of the thieves and Levi White,
an unoffending citizen, who had been
out to see his girl, was returning home
rather late when the masked men mis-
took him for one of the thieves, and
placing rope around his neck were
on the point of swinging him up when
he managed TO identify himself and was
released. White is reported to have
been frightened almost to death. Two
strange men visiting the town were
robbed and then beaten into insensibil-
ity near the village last Friday.

REWARDS FOR sPANIARDs.
Cubans Said to Have Graded List
of BOunties.

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. ia man who gives
his name as Carroll, representing a West
ern manufacturer Of dynamite, passed
Cuba. He went over on the last trip which
the filibustering tug Dauntless made. He
says that she transferred her cargo to a
fishing smack not far from the Cuban
coast. Carroll went on board the smack
and was landed at u point within sixty
miles Of Havana. He made his way through
the country to the capital. seeing some of
the insurgent leaders in the interior.
Carroll states that the insurgents have a
standing offer of 81 600 for every Spanish
officer killed and So, 900 for Gen. wcyler
dead or alive. A company of sixty Texas
Rangers, armed with Sharp's needle rifles,
carrying wind gauges and telescopic sights,
are in the field doing sharp shooters duty.
Each ranger is accompanied by a native
with a field glass. The natives scan the
country for officers and wherever one is
found the ranger tries to drop him. The
kill man five miles away. The rewards
account for the high death rate among
the officers.
The insurgents spare the Spanish soldiers
as much as possible, believing The privates
have no feeling against them. But the
rebels have determined 10 give no quarter
to officers
Carroll said. his information has been
corroborated from another source, that
the seat of filbustering operations will
be transferred from the South Atlantic
coast to the Gulf coast.

STUDENTS ACT LIKE ROwDIES.
Five Lafayette College Men Sus-

Easton, Pa, Nov. 19.-Five students
We're suspended from Lafayette College
today for their connection with the cutting
off OF the whiskers OF Henry Payne, OF
Suuthold, L. l., a sophomore in that institu-
tinn. Payne entered complaint against the
offenders before an alderman in this city
yesterday, but through threats and tor
Gentings by his college mates, was induced
To- withdraw the charge.
Today he left the city to go to New York
to have a finger that was injured in the
whisker-cuttinc scrimmag ge attended to
at O hospital there. While on his way to
the depot he was followed by a howling
mob OF students, who derided him and
made threats of doing him bodily harm.
He was escorted to the depot by Il pO-
liceman and at the depot the railroad
police had difficulty in dispensing the stu
dents who congregated prior 10 the depart
ure of the train. Some of the more riOtous
of the students went across the river to
phillipsburg, N. J., and. meeting the train
there, renewed their threats and abuse
and the services OF the police were again
called into requisition.
Much Indignation is expressed here on
account Of the actions of the students.

THEY OPPOSE THATCHER.
Apostles Fighting His Election to
the senate,

Salt Lake. Utah, Nov. 19-Hon. Moses
Thatcher. candidate for the United States
Senate. who incurred the displcasure of
high officials of the Mormon church for
running for police office without their
permission. was tried today by the church
digni;aries for characterization and refusing
TO hearken TO the voice OF the church au-
thorities.
Mr.. Thatcher was not present and ig-
nored the whole proceedings and the
ten apostles, who were his Judges. unan-
mousiy decided that Thatcher be severed
from the council OF the twelve apostles
and that he be deprived of his apostle
ship aud other offices in the priesthood,
and public notice to the effect was pub
lished this afternoon in the Desert News
the official organ of the church.
The News and church officials keep up
their opposition to the election lf Thatcher
to the senate on the ground that his
candidacy is based on his opposition to
the church and that his election would
be a reward for opposing the church in
exercising authority over its members
which, in the eyes of the Mormon Church.
dignitarieS, is a heinous offense.
