Special to the Register.

Show Up at Washington and Begin Their
Campaign for the West Va. Marshalship.
Special to the Register.
Washington, D. c.. February 26.-
Two new candidates for the United
States marshalship turned I'D here to-
day. One from the First Congressional
District and the other from the Second.
The former is Mr.. Crawford, OF Cam
eron, who was a candidate for the place
at the beginning of this administra-
ton. The Second District candidate
is Peter Harper, of Pendleton county,
who is now a deputy marshal. Mr..
Harper is bent on getting the place,
if husthng can do it, and claims that
he viii be strongly backed He had
a talk with POstmaster-General Will
son, but it is believed the latter felt
constrained TO decline TO interfere in
Mr. Harper's behalf as he has in the
case Of others, who importuned him for
his influence Mr. Wilson has rightly
taken the ground that it would be i'm
proper for him as a member of the
cabinet to seek TO influence the Presi-
dent in the selection of a marshal. and
Will leave the matter in the hands of
Senator Faulkner where it properly be-
longs.
Senator Faulkner returned here
from Parkersburg late this afternoon,
and was called on by Messrs. Harper
and Crawford to bespeak his influence
in their favor for the marshalship.
The Senator frankly pointed out 10
Mr. Harper the almost insuperable
objection that existed to giving the
place to anyone from the Second Con-
gressional district, which now has the
important Office of Revenue collector
As to Mr.. Crawford, it is not believed
he received much encouragement to
remain in the field.
Senator Faulkner said tonight he
could say nothing as TO the selection
he would make, but would probably
act in a couple of days. Messrs
Pendleton. Caldwell and Franzheim
held pleasant int rview with the Pres
ident about the marshalhsip to-day
strongly urging him to give the APP
pointnent 10 Capt Garden The Pres
ident Of course would say nothing as to
his intentions. Indeed he has given
thee matter no thought rs yet. But he
urged that the leaders Of the party in
the State should unite on one good man
and not ask him to settle contests be-
tween rival candidates Mr.. Pendleton
will probably remain here until the ap-
pointment is made.

To Furnish the Power for a Proposed
Railroad from Columbus, Ohio, to
Washington, D. c., by Way Of
Wheeling.
Snecial to the Register.

Special to the Register.
Springfield, O., February 26.-The
County Commissioners to-day granted
a franchise to T. D. Hoskins for the
construction and operation of railroad
in this county. on the old National
pike. Mr.. Hoskins is the inventor Of
the new gasoline motor cars which are
attracting so much attention at present
from people interested in street rail-
roads, on account Of the comparative
cheapness with which a line of them
can be built and operated. He has am
pie financial backing, his partners be-
ing Major P. p. Mast and John Foos,
both millionaires.. The road for which
the franchise was granted will use gaso-
line motor cars and one is to be built
at once to Columbus. and then on to
Washington, D. c., through Wheeling,
The plan is to get the right of way
over the National pike clear through TO
Cumberland. Md. So far the projectors
have found this very easy thing to do,
they having been received with open
arms by people living along the road.
1t is stipulated that the maximum
charge for hauling passengers will be a
cent a mile
Mr.. Hoskins said tonight that cars
would be running to Columbus by the
middle of May. The road. when com
pleted, will be the first one of the kind
in the world.

The impression was that roasting was

"The Kid refused to say word and
those having him in charge yanked him
onto a box The scene was a weird one.
One had on high heeled boots, black
pants and deep red flannel shirt,
which added a grewsome brilliancy to
the scene. In a moment the rope was
about his neck and a man, who looked
like one of the men whose horse had
been taken yesterday, skinned up a
telegraph pole and fixed one end across
the cross bar. All this time the Kid
was jeering at the audience, laughing
and cursing. He never quivered. He
was asked to say what he wanted and
was told he would be given hearing.
He said: by Cod, that's all right
If you are impatient, swing me up now

audience-"You're going to die now.

you will find $4,000 there"
The Kid" or Younger Lewis, as he
at the last moment said he was. con-
tinued chatting and laughing with the
crowd, poking fun at them and cursing,
Some one yelled: This is up"
The Kid said: Il am twenty years old
and robbed that d bank. l am dead
game and ready to die; 90 ahead
In an instant he was pulled up above
the throng. HE never quivered or
kicked He just went up in the air,
and he is hanging there now. Men
of the frontier for years and years say
no gamer man ever died.
He was the coolest man in all the
great throng.
All the while Crawford was a spec
tator to the scene. He began to weaken
and confessed, giving some valuable in
formation. He placed the responsible
ity for the crime on THE Kid
The mob pulled him off an impro-
vised platform next to the bank he at
tempted to rob. and his head was about
on a level with the dangling feet OF
his companion He asked for Capt.
Burnett The latter was spectator in
the crowd. Crawford confessed to the
robbery of yesterday, but denied the
murder. He was a small man, poorly
clad. with red face and short clipped
black moustache.
When they began to look for Sec
ond rope he begged for whisky. lt
was given him. lie talked and then
begged for more. He again addressed
the crowd in Commanche, English and
Spanish. Those who understood say
his utterances swereincoherent. Therope
soon arrived and after it was put about
his neck, he fell either in a faint or
from the effects Of the liquor he drank.
He was strung up along with his COM
panion and their bodies are still dang
