For tho Steamboat Inspectorship in
Washington Dorr and Miller Help
ing Candidates.

Special to the Register.
Washington, November 13.-Both the
West Virginia candidates for the posi-
ton OF Supervising Inspector of Steam
boats for the Seventh district, James
A. Woodward, of Charleston, and
Capt. S. B. Rathburn, of Writ county,
are again in the city, and were at the
White House to-day in company with
Congressman Warren Miller, of the
Fourth district, who arrived here yes
terday. Congressman Miller claims
that he is not backing either Of the
candidates himself, and went with
them to the White House merely to al
low them an opportunity to see the
President and present their own cases.
It is still believed that Capt. Rathburn
has the inside track for the appoint
ment, as he possesses the advantage of
having been a Mckinley elector last
year, and of having brother who was
a delegate to the ST. Louis convention.
Congressman Dorr, of the Third dis
trict, is also in town, busying himself
with minor matters in the interest of
constituents about the departments.

We mentioned last Friday the killing
Of Lewis L Jones, Of Fairview, In Wet
eel county, by Kitty st. Clair, who took
poison Immediately after This did not
prove fatal as expected, and she has
been taken to Wheeling and placed in
Jail, as the Wetzel county jail has been
condemned.
A suit has been brought by Arnett
and Conway, and ]. A. Haggerty, attor-
neys of this city, against Mrs Elizabeth
Moore on behalf of the relatives of
Lewis L. Jones for $4,000, SO we are in
formed. Mrs. Morgan owns the so acre
tract Of land on which the saloon and
bawdy house are located and the suit is
brought as it is claimed the owner of
the land is liable if a nuisance is allow
ed on it. Another suit has been brought
against A. Copenhaver and his sureties
for $4,000. He conducts the saloon and
it is claimed Jones was intoxicated when
he was invited to go to the bawdy
house. If Jones got intoxicated in this
saloon it is also unlawful and the owner
may be held responsible.
The large majority of our readers will
remember the circumstances under
which Jones was killed. He got intoxi-
Gated at the saloon and then went to the
house of i'll fame, trouble followed and
he was shot by the st. Clair woman.
Jones had always been highly respected
by those who knew him in this county.

GLOVES INJURED IN THE MAIL.
A Careless Clerk Compelled to Buy Lady
q New Pair.


q New Pair.
WASHINGTON, D. c., November 49,
First Assistant Postmaster General Heath
to-day rendered decision of peculiar in
terest, especially to ladies. Some days ago
party in Sioux City, Iowa, mailed an
envelope containing a pair of gloves. to
Mrs. Sarah D. Tucker, at Worcester,
Mass. When the packet reached it's des-
tination one of the gloves was so badly
torn that it was useless. The lady COM
planned to the postmaster at Worcester,
and demanded a new pair of gloves,
whereupon the postmaster referred the
matter to the Post Office Department at
Washington.
The matter was thoroughly looked into.
and it was developed that the clerk at
Sioux City who feeds the machine used
for the cancellation Of stamps grabbed up
the envelope containing the gloves of Mrs
Tucker and forced the bulky envelope
through the machine. The stamps were
cancelled all right but the CHANCELLOR am
putated several fingers of one of the gloves
contained therein.
Mr. Heath to-day sent a letter to the
postmaster at Sioux City, explaining the
case, and calling upon him to assess his
cancellation clerk the price of one pair of
NO. La Perle" tan colored gloves. and
forward the same to Mrs. Tucker.

justices Discuss an Event Of Twenty Years
Ago and Become Belligerent.
Railway, N. j., November 13.-Rich-
ard D. Fordham, justice of the peace of
the First ward, and Isaac A. Crane.
justice of the peace of the Fourth
ward, met on Main street Wednesday
night. They began a heated conversa-
ton that soon developed into a pugil-
istic encounter.
Twenty years ago four young men.
including the two justices, went to
New York to paint the town red. Wed.
nesday night, on conversation, Justice
Crane recalled some past memories.
whereupon Fordham slapped his oppo-
nent's, face so vigorously that Crane
had to pick himself out of the gutter.
Regardless of the fact that Fordham
weighs more than 200 pounds, Crane.
though small man, made a lively
fight. Friends of both parties inter-
fered at last and led the principals
away, as the police were coming.
Justice Crane now wears a fine blaca
eye while Justice Fordham is minus
front tooth.

Mission.
Philadelphia, Pa. November 49,
Bishop Charles C. McCabe caused con
siderable surprise among the members
of the general missionary committee
of the Methodist church, when he an

ministering to the spiritual wants OF
the gold diggers. He asked for 81 900
to enable him to continue the work in
Alaska. The request was ref erred to a
special committee.
Among the appropriations for Be-
hemian and Hungarian missions is ono
of $1,1l6 for the Pittsburg district.
