Wesley W. Davis Stricken.

The many friends of Wesley w. Davis,
one OF the best known citizens of the
county, will be pained to learn that his
near relatives found it necessary on Mon
day 10 remove him TO a Pittsburg Hos
pitai for treatment for disease that has
undermined his system. Mr.. Davis was
a member of Co. \, 10th Pa, Reserves
and was wounded in the leg at the sec
ond battle of Bull Ran. Recovering
from this wound in due course of time he
rejoined his company only to be severely
wounded by piece of shell at the bat
tie of Charles City Cross Roads. He was
Ieft on the field of battle and was captur-
ed by the Confederates and sent 10 the
military prison at Belle Island, where he
was confined for several months before
being exchanged. While in prison he
was seized with disease, which in con-
nection with his wounds, rendered him
unfit for military duty and he was hon
orably discharged. Returning to SOM
erset he acted as a deputy L. $. Marshal
until the close of the war. For the past
twenty five years he has been engaged in
general contracting and number OF the
best buildings in Somerset are monu-
nents of his work. The ravishes of a
wasting disease in connection with the
yicissitudes of an extraordinary busy
life commenced 10 tell on the old veteran
several years ago, bat he refused to yield
to the admonitions of his physician and
friends with the result that few weeks
ago he was rendered incapable by weak
ness of performing any labor. Mr..
Davis friends indulge the hope that he
will he greatly benefited 10y treatment at
the hospital to which he has been admit
ted and that he will be speedily restored
To health.

caYlor Had Poison.

John Caylor, of Glenco, this county,
has been convicted at Cumberland, Md,
on charge of passing a forged check
and getting money under false pretenses
He was sentenced to fifteen years in the
penitentiary. Although Caylor is only
twenty four years of age. he has been
sentenced to the Western Pennsylvania
Penitentiary three times. The last SEN
tence was for nine years for forgery, but
ne was pardOned out in May last, on ac-
count Of III health. Warden Wright,
who was a witness in the case, stated
that he was the most desperate man he
ever knew, and that he would rather
guard fifty men than Caylor.
Caylor wanted his counsel to let him
iamp ont of a second story window while
hs was being tried at Cumberland. He
forged Joseph Etrle's name, of Glencoe,
70 a check for So. Caylor says that bis
lungs are badly affected. and that he will
die within year.
John A Caylor is famous in the annals
of Riverside penitentiary. As the convict
who was cured by DIR. Cyrus Edson's
aceptolin. lie had in his possession two
ounces of deadly poison after being SEN
fenced last Friday
He denied ever having been imprison-
ed at Riverside. lie was identified,
however. as being the same old Csylor
that DIR. ID. " Rankin operated on with
DIR. Eason's consumption cnre.
when be was taken to Cumberland
prison and searched by Sheriff Miller al
the instigation of Pittsburg officer,
deadly poison was found on his person
He admitted he was going to kill him
self rather than 90 the pepitentiary.
It is alleged that Caylor never had
consumption, that he ate soap which
gave him ghastly appearance The
Esison cure tried ON two other consump-
tive convicts failed 70 do its work.

Why Senator Quay i. Not Lawyer.

II Is not generally known, says the
New York Tribune, that when Senator
Quay started i'm life he set out TO be a
lawyer. But he did. and was only twen-
ty-one when admitted to the bar. Here
is the story of Mr.. Quay's first and last
law case. vouched for 10y a personal
friend OF the Senator. The young lawyer
was trying his maiden ease, and, natur-
ally bashful, he dreaded above all things
to speak in public. When he arose to adj
dress the jury he became extremely
nervous and could scarcely proceed with
his speech. While he was struggling To
overcome his excessive diitidence he
chanced to glance around and saw some
of the other attorneys in the courtroom
laughing. Believing 10 "a certainty that
they were laughing AT his forensic efforts,
he at once sat down and refused to proceed
further with his remarks. From that day
Matthew Stanley Quay gave up the prac-
tice of law, refused all cases that were Of
fered to him, and entered into local poll
ties with that earnestness which has
made him one of the most successful pol
iticians of the present day. Mr.. Quay
began at the foot of the ladder. first hold
ing minor local office, and gradually
reaching higher and higher until he at
tanned his present National prominence
and power. Senator Quay is sixty -four, but
he has never been entirely free from the
diflidence that marked his early life. He
seldom speaks in the Senate. beyond
voting or briefly introducing a bill, and
after he has introduced a bill he sits
down with the air of a man who is glad
il is over with. In conversation with
friends, however, where the atmosphere
is one of thorough acquaintance. the
senior Senator from Pennsylvania is an
easy and interesting talker. Unlike
many of the statesmen around him, Mr..
Quay is not given 10 much newspaper
reading in the Senate. When he is rest
less he leaves his seat, puts his hands in
his pockets, and, with noiseless, cat-like
steps, walks about, with his head low, as
if in deep meditation.
