THE LEWIS COUNTY CONTEST.
The Fifth Week Closed. With the End Not
In sight.

Special to the Register.
Weston. w. Va, February This is
the fifth week that the election contest
has been in progress, and it does not
yet appear when the ending thereof
viii come to pass. All kinds Of rumors
are adoat throughout the county as
to frauds being committed upon the
honest and true voters of Lewis county
and those who were able TO withstand
the temptation of Doodle and vote
their honest sentiments. Let come
what may, it is unfortunate that blur
and stigma should ever be cast on the
fair name of the county of Lewis, but
this contest will engender a feeling of
luminosity in the breasts of the voters
of our county that will last for years
TO come. and will have a tendency of
drawing party lines more closely than
in years gone by.
The most important witness Friday
was Attorney J. +. Galford. Mr.. Gal
ford testified that in his opinion the
names Z. A. Bennett appearing upon
the ballots in controversy were not In
the handwriting of +. A. Bennett,
and that ne could see very little SIM
ilarity in the signature Of E. A. Bennett
and the handwriting on the ballots,
which was explained to the court in
a very satisfactory way. After a care
ful examination by w. w. Brannon,
the witness was turned over to Mr..
Linn. who put the witness through a
very careful and searching crOss-eX-
animation. but the witnessed answered
fully every question put to him. The
witness was asked why he was taking
an active part in the case when
not employed as attorney, and he re-
piled that he was a Democrat, and felt
an interest in the success and welfare
of his party. and further, that he and
r. A. Bennett had been good friends
for q number of years, and he felt
an interest in the welfare of his friends,
and by coupling the two together he
thought he had q right to assist e. n
Bennett in his contest If he chose 10
do so. The contestant has made out
very weak case so far. and as the
trial progresses more light is being
daily thrown upon matters which from
a one-sided standpoint looked a little
difficult OF explanation, but when the
trisl is ended. it is hoped that every
thing viii have been made clear To
all reasonable men, and that justice
and right shall prevail. and that the
victor shall not sc crowned by crown
of thorns. but by a Groin of truth
honesty and justice. and that the will
of the people as expressed at the polls
shall never be trailed in the dust at
the feet of an usurper.

with refreshing display of spirit, that

she was quite as capable Of taking care

The story has always been supposed
to have a symbolical significance, but
Mrs. Houghton did not enter into that,
as she said we were not concerned with
it when studying the Bible as litera-
ture.
Other love stories mentioned in the
lecture were those Of David and Michal,
the boy and girl love; Of David and Alb
igail, the deep affection of maturity,
and of Ruth and Naomi, the love of
two women. 1t was only among the
Israelites, Mrs. Houghton said, that
such a story as the last of these could
have been reported or imagined, for
among no other oriental people would
the attachment of one woman to an
other have been thought worth men

WASHINGTON. February THE iea-
ture of the week in the House will be the
ceremonies on Wednesday on the occasion
of the counting of the electoral vote and
the formal PRONUNCIATION Of the election Of
Mckinley and Hobart by the Vice Presi-
dent of the United States. 1t is state
occasion. but Of 4 very formal character.
Unless the fortihcations or sundry civil
bill is reported the House will have no
appropriation bill to consider this week,
and most of the time will be devoted to
such bills as the various committees may
present and conference reports. There
are three contested election cases. Beattie
vs. Price. from Louisiana; Hopkins VS..
Kendrick, from Kentucky. and Bennoit
VS.. Boatner, which probably will be de-
cided. In each case the majority report
favors the sitting member. a Democrat,
and little time viii be consumed il dis
posing Of them.
IN THE SENATE.
II Senator Morgan pursues his present
plan he will move to take up the Mica
ragua canal bin during the morning hour
Monday. He expects the motion to be an
tagonized. and in that event will secure
vote which will. he thinks. demonstrate
the voting strength Of the canal bill. He
expects the vote to be largely in the ma
iority, but whatever the result. he prob
ably will announce his abandonment of
the bill for the present session on account
Of the determined obstruction TO its pass
age, while at the same time he will de-
clare his purpose to press the measure
with more determination than ever at the
next session.
THE WITHDRAWAL
Of the Nicaragua bill from it's present
place at the head Of the calendar will
leave the way open for taking up other
measures pressing for consideration. The
diplomatic and consular appropriation bill
has already been reported. and there will
be an effort TO secure attention TO It Mon
day. The appropriation committee expect
to have the Indian and agricultural bills
reported by Wednesday, and will ask
fer early consideration. Senator Thurs
ton will seek the first opportunity to con-
ciude his speech on the Pacific railroad
resolutions; Senator Morrill, has given no.
tice of his intention to advance the bill
to prohibit the sale of liquor in the capi>
tol. and Senator Sherman will abide by
his decision 10 ask the Senate to go into
executive session early Monday for the
purpose of considering the general
ARBITRATION TREATY
with Great Britain.
As soon as these matters will permit
there will be an effort TO proceed with the
bankruptcy bill. and it Is not expected that
there will be any avcwed opposition to
its consideration.
The proceedings relative to the arbitrary
treaty will be held in executive session.
and will be long and animated.
Wednesday the Senate will join with
the House to see the count Of the electoral
vote.
Senator Lodge hopes to get up the con-
ference report on the immigration bill as
soon as the House acts upon it. which he
thinks will he done the latter part Of the
present week.
