longing to Neale Bros, of Ben Lo-

day night. Loss $500; no insur-

In coming down the grade the
train broke in two, the first half
going on for mile before the ac-

it was discovered that the train had
split the first half started to return
at full speed and on the way met
the last half coming down the
grade at a furious rate of speed,
The two parts crashed together
with great force piling the largest
part of the train upina pile debris.

Gen. Watts for Governor.

In anothereolumn will be found
n communication i'll advocacy of
Gen. G.. @. Watts for the Democ-
cratic nomination for Governor.
The contest in this State this year
will be the most active and aggres-
sive since the prescription of white
citizens was overthrown in West
Virginia.
The tidal wave of 1894, which
gave the Republicans large ma
iority in West Virginia, has made
them arrogant and aggressive.
Their leaders have selected as their
standard bearer Hon. Geo. w. At
kinson, believing that even his
political record will be forgotten in
his activity upon the stump.
On the Democratic side many
favored the nomination of Hon.
George w. Bennett, but since it is
generally believed that he is not n
candidate, and will seek reelection
as Judge of She Ninth judicial
Circuit, which position his ability
and high character has adorned for
the last eight years. Democratic
sentiment seems to be cryatalliZ-
ing infavor of Gen. G. G. Watts,
whose sterling integrity, compe-
tence and general popularity, as
we'll as his recognized ability to
meet the best Republican speakers
has attracted to his support Demo-
Gratis i'll every section of the State
regardless of personal preferences,
whose sole purpose and object is to
select as their standard bearer III
the coming contest man whose
Democracy is unquestioned, whose
fealty to the party has never swer-
we'd, and whose active, energetic
services and eloquent voice has al
ways been at the command of his
party.
1t is true that General Watts is
holding the most lucrative federal
office in the State. 1t is also true,
we assume, that if nominated, he
would be compelled to resign from
the position of District Attorney
and give up it's large emoluments,
to take upon himself the heaviest
burden of the coming great fight,
with it's hardships and expense,
but we also assume that General
Watts, having received the honors
and emoluments resulting from
Democratic success, must, if his par
ty demands his services, be willing
to sacrifice personal interest at the
demand of the Democracy of West
Virginia.
From information in our poss-
ession the Register feels author
lied i'll stating that if nominated
by the Democratic Convention on
the 18th of August, General Watts
will accept that nomination and
hold aloft the banner of Democra-
cy, and that his eloquent voice will
be heard in defence of Democratic
principles in every county in the
State, ready and willing at all times
to meet any of the champions of
McKinleyism, Force Bills and
prescription of the rights of citi-
zens.-W Wheeling Register.

The Republicans have on the
"face of the returns" a majority in
this county, and this has brought
out nearly every Republican in
the county as n candidate for Office.
The Republican nominating con
vention will be held in about two
weeks from now, and then the
real fight will begin. Every can
didate expects to get the nomina-
for the office for which he is am
nounced, but many will be disap-
pointed, and then they will con-
clude there are an lawful lot OF
liars" among their supposed friends.
This will cause heart-burnings and
bad blood among the candidates,
and if the Republican party don't
fall to pieces in this county from its
own weight by being over-burden-
ed with candidates ut the conven-
ton it will be II wonder, indeed.
But then ''many are called, but
few mN chosen" and the Republi-
can ring has already made up its
slate for county officers, and the
"chosen ones" will be formally an
nounced and nominated when the
convention meets, and great will
be the astonishment and disap-
pointment of the many who get
left.

only Three OBSTACLES.

There are only three principal
obstacles in married mans do
mestic affairs which interfere with
his happiness, viz: Removing and
adjusting stove-pipes, beating the
dust out of carpets, and lulling n
refractory kid to sleep just about
the time when the clock in the
steeple is dolefully striking the
hour of midnight The first two
obstacles usually crop out in the
spring, ira la, when house-cleaning
is in vogue, but the third one is not
affected by season, and is liable to
emphasize it's presence any time in
the year.
Some husbands give it as their ex-
perience that "a little profanity often
mixes we'll with the carpet beating
and stove-pipe adjusting, but moth
ing short of soothing syrup and n
patriotic spanking will quiet the
turbulence of colicky kid at mid
night. The lullaby is simply a
clever ruse to keep the mother
asleep. If you are husband and
father, too, take this for what it
is worth.

The Republican machine of

upon the ticket for County Clerk.
1t looks like the machine was run
ming things in the interest of
Stnunton. The Daily Telegram,
(Republican) scores the committee
for its action.
Petitions are being circulated in
Kanawhu county asking Major j.
e. Dana to call district conventions
on May %, to appoint delegates to
a county convention to be held on
May 25, in Charleston for the pur-
pose of nominating Republican
county ticket and appointing a
county executive committee. The
reasons given for the action is the
action of the present county COM
mittee in refusing to place j. w.
Goshorn on the ticket to be voted
at the primary election; that the
signers believe the committee is
disrupting the party in Kanawha
county. The petitions already
have over 500 signatures. Things
are getting pretty warm up in
Kanawha county among the Re-
publicans.

Royalty Entertained.
One of the most enjoyable meet
ings of the Whist Club held this
season, was that of last night at the
hospitable home of Miss Nausie
Beale, who acted as hostess.
The parlor was adorned i'll the
most tasteful fashion, with potted
and cut flowers, and presented an
attractive and inviting appearance.
During the evening the guests
toyed with the infatuating pnste-
boards, and the games were spirited
and interesting, and summing up
the number of points at the close
of the games it was found that Miss
Lew McCulloch and DIR. John
English had the largest score
although the other tables wore
close.
There was an intcrmission at the
usual hour, when n bounteous
spread in the dining-room claimed
the attention of the parties. to
which ample and full justice was
done, the guests showing their APP
probation of the good things be-
fore them, in the hearty manner in
which they partook of them.
Returning to the parlor the
games were resumed with renewed
interest. The evening WAS spent
most delightfully."-, and all felt that
they had been royalty entertained
by their cultured and charming
hostess, and made doubly welcome
hv hor hosnitnhle Darents.
