defeated in the House. From the latest

pears that Huntington has half of the
House, but 1t is not certain that he can
hold all these. If, when the matter comes
up for debate, member arises and makes
the announcement that there is sack be-
hind the measure and there is Job in it,
the members who declared them selves in
way favorable to the measure will hest
tate before casting their votes.
From what | know of Congressmen
there are some afraid of being charged
with bribery. Now, l do not wish to ex-
press any opinion of our representatives
in Congress, but | will say that think
Congressman Mcguire will talk, ana it is
possible that he may say that there is a
sack to be used to refund debt greater
than the capital Of the greatest bank in
the world-the Bank of England-that
has only S7000O,000.
Bribery will be resorted to in order to
carry this measure. | say so and could
prove it if necessary. The press should
act as unit in this matter and wake up
the people to the necessity of fighting the
proposition to impose such an outrageous
measure upon them.
News OF what is being done here is not
transmitted as fully as it,should be, and in
order to keep our friends at Washington
posted as to what is going on, 1 have to
send them private dispatches 1 am in
this fight for the people and will stand bv
it until q certain warm place freezes over.
The Senate? No, there is no hope for
us in the Senate. [ feel quite confident
that the measure will pass there. Our only
hope is the House. We are going to have
a rousing convention in spite of the octo-

CITY CHARTER COMMISSION,
Another Meeting Last Night and Several
Suggestions Adopted.

A meeting of the City Charter Com
mission was held in the committee room
at the city building at eight o'clock
last evening.
The first suggestion adopted by the
committee was that the mayor of the
city should be elected by the people,
should be elected for term of four
years, and that he should not be ELI
gible to a second term. Also, that the
mayor should preside over council,
should vote as a member of the body,
and should preside over police court.
The next suggestion adopted was o
garding the city clerk. 1t was decided
that the cIerk should BE- elected by the
people, and that his duties should be
practically the same as at present.
The third suggs stion adopted was in
regard to the Board Of Control. In
stead of three boards, namely, Water
Board, Gas Board, and the Board of
Public Works, it was decided that one
Board of Control composed of three
members chosen by the people, should
be elected. The term of office for the
latter not having been provided for.
1t was further provided that compen-
sation should be fixed by council, the
latter to have control over the depart
mentS of water and gas and streets.

BELLAIRE.

There was a serious accident at Benwood
Saturday night. A young man named Jo-
seph Ozier, about 10 years of age. tried to
board a moving freight at the depot. He
missed his first catch and tried the second
time on the caboose. The speed Of the
train threw him against the car and broke
his hold, when he fell between the car and
depot platform and was dragged about ~
yards and left with his head across rail.
When picked up he was unconscious and
had a bad crescent shaped scalp wound on
the side Of his head and was scratched and
bruised up all over his body. He was taken
home and seems to be getting along all
right.

THOMPSON ARRESTED.
The BuncO Artist Caught in PittSburg
yesterday.
Wanted for a Swindle inWheeling
on a Fake Foot Race Will be
Brought Down Here To-Day.
Something About the Crime, and
Subsequent Developments.

The arrest Of Frank Thompson, by
the Pittsburg police yesterday, recalls
the cake" foot race swindle which he
and two companions worked in this
CITY some time ago. The victim was
neatly done" for a large sum at the
Hotel Windsor. and it will be remem-
bered that the cons pirators were sub
seouently arrested in Cleveland. The
local officers went out to bring them to
Wheeling for trial. When they reached
the Ohio river they suddenly changed
their minds.
The legal fight took place before JUS
tice Howell. in Bridgeport, and tel
egram, purporting to be from the Gov
.rnOr OF Ohio. was received, upon
which the men were released. 1t was
afterwards ascertained that the tele-
gram was a fake" or purposely mis-
leading, as Governor Mckinley decid-
cd next day that the men could be
brought to this city for trial. At any
rate, it served the bunco artists, and
they promptly made themselves scarce.
The police have been looking for them
since, and a short time ago located
Thompson in Pittsburg. The case was
worked up largely through the efforts
of Assistant Prosecuting Attorney j.
b. Handlan, who secured requisltlon
papers from Governor MacCorkle,
which were forwarded to and approved
by the Governor Of Pennsylvania.
Capt. Thos. Bennett went up TO Pits
burg yesterday, and will probably bring
his prisoner down to-day. The fol-
lowing telegram is self-explanatory:
Special to the Register.
Pittsburg. Pa, June Crank
Thompson was arrested last night by
officer William Smith, of East Pitts
burg. He was brought to Pittsburg to-
day and locked up in Central Police
Station. where he now is. He will be
held until requisition papers can be OBJ
Vtained TO take him TO Wheeling, where
he is wanted on charge Of conspiracy
TO defraud. J. c. Strosnider is also
wanted on the same charge, and the
police are keeping lookout FOR MIN.
Thompson and Strosuid5r, ii is alleged.
advertised a fake sprinting race at Wheel
ing. 1t is alleged that they took Grimm
THE NrcKeesport sprinter. to Wheeling to
enter him against a Splinter Of that place.
They induced a man Of some wealth to
back Grimm for $1,000. Thompson it Is al
legged. flashed d check for similar amount
on the Wheeling man. Tnampson was the
stakeholder and It is said. he and Stro-
snider left Wheeling in great haste.
The race did not come off. Thompson
and Strosnider were found In Cleveland
and put under arrest. They did not offer
resistance and the Wheeling officer start
ed home with them. Just before they
reached the West Virginia line the men
changed their minds ard refused to be
taken further without requistion papers.
The officer was powerless and was COM
PEELED to release the prisoners. They sue
ceeded in eluding the officers until last
night, when officer William Smith found
Thompson at East Pirtsburg.

TWO NEW PITCHERS


Borchers. the Pacific coast ''phenom."
whom Gienalvin enabled the home club
to sign, arrived yesterday. He started
from Portland Oregon, week ago las,
Saturday. and is several days late in
putting in an appearance. Borchers is
a big fellow. and a good 'un. If he
feels vel to-day he will be tried in the
game with Washington. Campbell, the
plucky little Sistersville pitcher, who
was on the rubber against Wheeling on
Sunday, signed a Wheeling contract,
and will be given a trial. He is light.
weighing only 143 pounds but he has
lots of speed and all kinds of curves.
Campbell is big favorite in the oil
metropolis, and if he pitches winning
ball here he will be one Of the moSt
popular players on tre team. He may
be tried this afternoon.

E.AEE BALL BRIEFS.

The Wheeling players all think wei
Of pitcher Campbell.
Campbell heSd Wheeling down to
six hits and struck out eight men in
tn game at Sistersville II he does
as well against Washington, he will
60.
Wheeling now has seven pitchers on
the list-Garvey, Baker, Irwin. Borch-
ers, Connors, Campbell and Anderson.
The four who CO the best work will
probably be retained.
Bick Sheppard has rugged out the
soft drinks" boys, with natty sweaters
and white caps.
Anderson hit Martin on the head
with a pitched ball yesterday. Mar
tins skull must be of cast iron, to
stand such blows. He ran down to
first. but afterwards retired from the
gene.
The belief that McKeown is too lame
10 run bases, is erroneous. He gets
about as lively as anybody The trou-
BILE is that he is not too lame-but too
rich Base running is too much like
work. NcKeCwn wouldn't do anything
but bat. if the rules of tha game would
permit. He would rather get a nice
clean base hit than a meal at belmont
cos.
Umpire Alexander is the fairest Off
cial who has yet held the indicator in
a game in this city. He is not only
impartial on the field. but perfect gen.
tleman at all times. With few more
such umDireS, the complaints in the
Interstate would soon cease.
Red" Garvey certainly mixed EN-
up" on the boys yesterday He gave
the best exhibition Of pitching which
has been seen on the home grounds
this season.
G,asscock must have been happy yes
.erd2y after he made as eighth hit in
the game with MISUNDERSTANDING
