LEFT FOR C0LU MBUS
Local Delegates Leave Last Night to
Attend the National Miners Con-
vention-.-A Compromise Expected
By Local Miners.

The delegates from this district to
the national miners convention left
last night for Columbus, where the
convention meets to-day. VIM. Ander
son will represent this district, and
while the miners of this district voted
in favor of So cent rate, yet they left
their delegate free to vote as he
thinks best for their interests. Sec
rotary Anderson is personally in favor
Of compromising at 60 cents, and has
expressed his intention of so voting if
satisfactory explanation is made by
the executive board The other dele
gate, John Aitken, was sent by the
Gilchrist miners of the North End,
who voted emphatically for So cents
without any compromise. The Gill
christ miners would not go into the
district convention and decided to send
their own delegates. 1t is the opinion
at miners headquarters that the strike
will be settled at Columbus to-day by
the acceptance of IS cent rate until
a permanent scale is fixed The Wheel
ing delegates will vote, however, to
extend the time until the first Of May
for the Go cent rate to end, as it would
be impossible for another strike to be
inaugurated in the middle of winter.

B. & O.. STATION.
Contracts for It Has Not Been Let
Yet--Difference Of Opinion Among
Business Men Of tia Vicinity Of
South Street as to When the Work
Will Be Started.

Wheeling contractors who bid on the
new B. & o. station to be erected, have
heard nothing about the work and the
presumption is that no contract will be
given for some time yet. There is a
difference of opinion among the BUSH
ness men in the vicinity where the new
depot will be located as to the time
when the construction will be COM
menced. A few are inclined to think
that nothing will be done until spring,
while others infer from the fact that the
parties VINO occupied the store room
and buildings on the site where the sta
ton will be erected, have moved, that
the B. & o. management will COM
mence operations at an early date.
With very few exceptions the business
men of the wholesale district are
pleased with the change in the loca-
ton of the passenger station, partlcu-
larly those merchants whose places of
business will be in the immediate vicin-
ity.
AS several expressed themselves yes
terday, the station will bring the people
and customers from all parts of the
State and neighborhood right to their
doors. 1t was the opinion of a prom
inent wholesale merchant that the
building of the new B. & 0. station on
the site contemplated would enhance
the value of adjoining property consid-
erably and have tendency to draw
business more to that portion of the
town. This view was shared in by a
number of others who were asked about
the matter.

one of the most charming buildings, the
children's was formally opened with kin
dergarten exercises, and this building was
one of the chief centers of attraction
during the afternoon.
Among the distinguished visitors on the
auditorium stage Were ex-Vice President
Stevenson and Governor Stephens of
Missouri. Open air concerts and music
in the auditorium attracted the grow
ing crowds, and as the afternoon length
ened the attendance increased until 4
O'Clock, when the tide set cityward. z
The agricultural building had caught
the fancy of the visitors. 1t was artis-
tic, peculiarly unique, drew well and was
filled all day. The mineral and forestry
building, with exhibits nearly complete,
was much frequented. The government
building was not in good shape for view
ing, and the commerce, transportation
and machinery buildings were thronged.
The railroad terminal station, containing
the exhibits of several roads, was cen
ter of attraction. if'l7i' ia3
Only portion of the parthenon, the art
gallery, was open, the pictures not being
hung in two-thirds of the building, but
the pictures on the wall were viewed by
thousands. ~ -
Tonight concerts by the band, extensive
fireworks and complete illumination of
grounds and buildings by electric lights
drew thousands in addition to those who
waited on the grounds for the night pro-
gram.
Conservative estimates place the day
and night attendance at 10000. Perfect
order prevailed. o.D

BRUTAL MATRICIDE.
The Terrible Act of an Enraged Son
in Arkansas.


Memphis, May News reached the
city today of a brutal murder that oc-
CURED early Friday morning, about two
miles from Blue Point. Ark. Alvin By
ley, white man, is the murderer, so sew
eral parties on the government steamer
Graham told reporter, and his victim
was his aged mother.
Alvin Byley, after dealing the death
blow, armed himself with Winchester,
placed his wife and child on skiff and
pushed out into the overflow. He has
not been heard of since.
Mrs. Byley was widow, probably 50
years of age. She has three daughters.
Alvin Byley has wife and one child and
lived with his mother. Some time ago
Mrs. Byley adopted an orphan boy into
her family with the intention of raising
him. Alvin Byley was much attached
to the child. About 6 o'clock Friday the
boy committed some indiscretion and one
of the daughters undertook to chastise
him for it. The child escaped the daugh-
ter, but Mrs. Byley learned of the offense
and started to whip him. This angered
Alvin, and he struck his mother in the
face. Words followed and Alvin grew
more angry. He picked UP heavy piece
of plank, and with the strength of an en-
ragged man, struck the woman powerful
blow just under the heart. Mrs. Byley
dropped dead at his feet.

The BLESSING OF Strong Nerves

Is recoverable, not by the use of mineral
sedatives, but by recourse to effectual
tonic treatment. Opiates and the like
should only be used as auxiliaries, and
then as sparingly as possible. Vigorous
nerves are quiet ones, and the most di
rect way to render them SO is to rein
force the vital energies. That sterling
invigorant, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
will be found all-sufficient for this pur
pose, since it entirely removes impedi
ments to thorough digestion and assimi.
lation of food, so that the body is in.
sured its due amount of nourishment
and consequently of stamina. Rheu-
matte tendencies and affections of the
kindneys and bladder are also counter
acted by the Bitters, which is besides a
thorough medicinal stimulant, infinitely
pGrer than the raw eXcitants of com
merce, which react injuriously upon the
nervous system.

A Locemotiye .Run.

eve are convinced" says the Locomor
tive Engineer, that the run made over
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy from
Chicago to Denver deserves to be con-
sidered the most extraordinary run ever
made phe distance from av GnSago 70 a pfn
1869 minutes actual running time. This
was only a small fraction less than one.
mile minute, for the longest continuous
run ever made by any railroad company.
A notable thing about the run was that
no special preparation whatever was
made for the trip. The various engines
that pulled the train were selected a.. as
were those that were accustomed to the
engines. There were no delays from hot
boxessor any other cause. and It looks as
II trains could be run daily over that long
distance, and make the time Of that spe-
cial train.p 4'zl.5i

BOLD ROBBERS NEAR ELGIN.
Snndbagged, Robbed ana Set Fire to
Rural Saloon Keeper.

Elgin, Tex, Mey 4.--(SpeciaL) IA bold
robbery and almost murder occurred
five miles southwest of Elgin last night.
James Muse runs a saloon at that
point. While lying on lounge, reading,
two men entered his place of business,
one dark skinned, heavy man, weight
about 200 pounds, the other light COM
plexioned man, weighing in the neigh
borhood Of 1876 pounds. Mr.. Muse, think
ing they wished to make purchase, got
up to wait on them, when the smaller
stranger struck him blow with some
thing that felled him to the floor, and be-
fore he could rise the heavy man put
on the finishing touches with a blow that
rendered him unconscious. They then
extracted So from" his pockets, spilled
coal oil on his clothing and applied
match. The heat aroused Muse to his
senses, and jumping up he quickly tore
the clothing from his person, being only
slightly burned. About this time neigh
ibors rushed in and subdued the flames,
which had spread to the building.
The robbers did not take anything
from the cash drawer. 1t is thought they
went in the direction of Webberville.
