came to Wheeling in search Of mar
riad sister She was unsuccessful in
her search. and two female friends per-
suaded her to go TO the Miller house OF
III fame in alley c. She was very much
dissatisfied with her life, and it was
this fact which led her to make the at
tempt upon her own life.
After swallowing the acid she met an
acquaintance. a Sistersville oil man, on
Main street and told him what she had
done. The two walked down street
and entered a boarding house at NO.

DISCUSSION CAUSES A FIGHT.


Yesterday afternoon fight was
barely averted in a shoemakers shop
in the Eighth ward. and as a result
q well-known citizen who has been
making himself conspicuous and some
times very offensive by his partisan
bitterness. was fortunately saved from
y tbrashing. This gentleman is a great
believer in the gold standard and the
Republican party. It is his habit OF
broaching politics to whoever he
meets and frequently meets those VINO
are lore than a match for him.
This happened to be the case yester-
dav when he drew a Bellaire man into
an argument on the money question.
II took but a few minutes TO discover
that he was no match for the Bellalre
man on this particular subject. Inc
silver man seeing that his opponent
fund of information on the financial
question was very deficient, took ad-
vantage of his opponent and soon had
the goldbug foundering.
The Eighth ward gold standard adj
vocate see11tg that he was being worst
ed. lost his temper and became abu-
sive. Not being able to answer the
arguments of his silver opponent he
called him a liar. The Bellaire man
was in a fighting mood in a second and
struck at him. Bystanders, however
interfered and prevented the discussion
from terminating in rough and tum-
bic fight.

"The New Dominion" at the Opera House
"South Before the War"

In spite of the political demonstra-
tons in Wheeling and vicinity last
night, the Opera House was well filed
to witness the production Of the New
Dominion" by Mr. Clay Clement and his
excellent company. The production
was even more pleasing than when seen
here last season. Mr.. Clement in the
role of Baron Hohenstauffen, gave g
very finished piece of acting, and his
support was uniformly good. The
piece is well staged. The audience was
very apprec!ative, and applause was fire.

Crop Service.
Below will be found Section Direc.
tor Bauer's weekly crop bulletin for
the past week from one or moro cor
respondents in each county of the
State
-The week was favorable for cleaning
crops, and there is but little complaint
OF grass. 1t was also favorable for
growth, and all crops, with the excep-
ton OF cotton, made satisfactory ad-
vance. Farmers are we'll up with their
work, and the agricultural situation is
very encouraging rs far as promised
production is concerned.
Corn was never more promising
generally, although on sandy soil, in 4
few counties where there bave been ex-
cessive rains, early corn was slightly
''yellowed," and two correspondents
reported corn "fring." Late plant
ing has good color and is well cult
waited with enough moisture to make
continuous and rapid growth.
The reports on cotton are less favor
able, especially during the early
part of the week, but latterly an i'm
provement was noted. Lice and
cool nights retarded the develop
ment OF cotton, but with the excep-
ton of small areas, where stands were
Killed but, no permanent injury is ap-
parent. Lice seemed to be decrcns-
Ing at the end Of the week. The
plant turned yellow and the lower
leaves dropped off in kershaw, VII

OrangeburG, Berkeley, Chesterfield,
Coileton and Spartanburg Counties.
Kust and shedding in few localities
Cotton continues in advance of the
season. A correspondent of Anderson
has kept record of first blooms for
long series years and reports the ear
llest bloom noted in former years ON
June 13, 1S4S. This year on June
9TH; in Edgeteld the first bloom noted
on June 3d, the average time June
18th, and SO throughout tho State. In
some portions nearly full grown bolls
are noted. In places the plant is
large, bnt not fruiting well; it is gen.
orally putting on weed freely and
fruiting heavily. While cotton has de-
Perforated during the week it is
still in fair condition and lately inn

The first speaker was son of Marion,

Washington. Dec. 1S.-(Special) The st.
Joseph postmastership is uppermost in the
thoughts of the Missouri colony at the
capital just now Steve Woodson the st.
Joseph banker, has been here for several
days for the avowed purpose of capturing
the plum. He has always been a stanch
Democrat, but abandoned the fortunes of
the Democratic silver candidate in the
late election and voted for Mckinley Ee
came to Washington armed with the finest
credentials ever filed for a postmastershin
but all his papers are signed by gold DEM
ocratsr including the heads of the late gold
Democratic ticket. He can make the finest
sort of showing at the White House and
it is generally believed that he will be an
pointed. But the hitch is In the senate
Neither Cockren nor Vest will give anv
countenance TO gold Democrat, and both
have declared that Woodson If appointed
will not be confirmed. OF course he, gets
no comfort from Dockery, who himself had
his hands fun fighting the plutocrats in
his own party.
In all probability Postmaster Atkinson
VIII hold over until Mckinley appoints his
successor. The Republicans have held the
office for seyerallyears unbroken. CAPTAIN

His First Suit.
From the New York Journal.
4 AlN.aNS a natfv dresser InMNl

From the New York Journal.
Always n natty dresser. Lawyer Brleie-
baSge was especially careful about MS
dress upon this OCCASION.
When man is going TO court he
thought, with the expectation OF success
fully prosecuting his suit. he cannot place
too much reliance upon the effect his ap-
pearance may have on the case.
Therefore, his linen was OF the glossiest,
and he selected tie with much delibera-
tiop and judgment. His well-made frock-
coat fitted his figure admirably, and when
he at length emerged from his chambers
and jumped on passing car he felt that
his personality could not but make the i'm
preston he counted upon when he should
at length begin his address.
Briefebagge was noted as one of the most
promising youngsters at the bar. He was
ready and fluent, and, when, therefore, he
Displayed manifest embarrassment and un-
certainty of words in opening his case it
can only be put down to the neutral nerv-
BUSINESS of young advocate pleading in a
case of this Importance for the first time
But his confidence quickly returned TO him.
and soon he was pouring forth sonorous
sentences and apt argument with u skill
and zeal that showed his whole heart ano
soul We're in his cause, finally concluding
his Plea with q burst of impaSsioned ora
tory that fairly won him the day. He
swept everything before him; he was ire
sistible. There could be no question about
II; he had won his suit. and
The biushing widow disentangled her
curis from his vest buttons and coyly whis-
pered she would name the day later.
