TEARS OF OUR LOUIE

Judge Palmer is credited with telling
very good story. It is the story of
broken heart. Tears, salty ones, are
mixed with the tragic affair. The
story is with reference to the legis-
lature and one Of our humble citizens,
and no less a person than Senator
Louis N. Grill. T, 1t seems that in the
final windup of the legislature the bill
to make a position forour distinguished
local citizen, Alison Bovee as warden Of
the penitentary came up for disposal.
The vote stood Fl to II, and under the
constitution it required %. hence it was
one short. As sooon as the vote was
announced Mr.. Grill, who had the
management Of the bill, discovered
that he had fallen into trap of his
own making. the II votes were all re-
publican and certainly they had no de-
sire for reconsideration. The popu-
lists, If they could have got recon
sideration of the vote would have car.
ried II through, but alas under all rules
pertaining to Legislative bodies, those
voting in the affirmative, cannot move
for a reconsideration. Had Mr.. Grill
been shrewd enough and sharp enough
to have kept tab on the vote he could
Just before the announcement of the
vote changed his to that OF the negative

and secured enough for the passage of
the bill, for the reason that Morgan
and Palmer and Wilkinson, each would
have voted for the bill on the second
ballot, all being populists and having
been absent or excused from voting.
Mr.. Grill, instead, got up in the senate
and demanded reconsideration. The
president refused and Grill appealed.
but in vain. There was nothing to
appeal. 1t is said by the daily papers
that Mr.. Grill became excited, shook
his tist in the presiding officers face
and became unduly heated over the
affair, but alas he had made his own
fish trap and fell into it.and that is the
reason why today our friend Mr.. Bovee
who is entitled to the position for the
work and energy and time he put into
the campaign which elected Mr.. Grill
lost fat position. Judge Palmer is
said to have declared that after the
anger and The excitement and the heat
of Mr.. Grill had subsidized he retired to
his seat in the senate hall and bowed
his head on his forearm and wept like
u child. Poor Louie.

Kellar is populist and his ringing

The Cincinnati excursions run to-day
by the Ohio River and Baltimore & Ohio
railroads viii attract several hundred
wheellngites, and the cheap fares offer
ed are without precedent in the history
of railroading, The remarkable fare Of
fered by the former road will probably
never be ecllpsed, unless passengers are
carried for nothing,
When the Ohio River came down to a
one-dollar rate, II was thought that the
Baltimore & Ohio would follow suit, or
even go 1t better-ln fact II was generally
reported yesterday afternoon that II was
going to go below the one hard PUNK,
but il remained at the 50 point. The low
rates have been the talk OF the town, and
many are going to Cincinnati simply be-
cause they can travel so cheap. Many
too who bought tickets Will get on at In
tervenlng towns, for Its cheaper to buy
a through ticket than single fare TO
Sistersville, even.
The bulk OF to-day's excursion will, Of
course, go on the Ohio River, for the DIFF
ference In fare seals that point, Az the
company's office last night before 10
o'clock, 67S tickets had been sold, and II
Is reasonably certain that this number
will be increased to 500 when the train
pulls out this morning, The i. & o.
didn't experience such a rush, but the
century mark was passed at 0 o'clock tn
the evening. AS this road runs five
trains to-day, the last leaving late this
evening" the tickets win 80 at a lively
rate all day.
The Ohio River will leave the "Pewi-
ky depot at 1880 o'clock this morning,
city time. The train will be made up OF
two sections. There will be twenty-five
coaches and three parlor cars. The
management ensures lots OF room. and
good accommodation.
The Baltimore & Ohio, as stated, will
run several trains. The first left Bel
laire at 1916 and was patronized largely,
Trains will leave at 1885 a. m. and 1926 p.
M, which will allow passengers to re-
main over In Columbus few hours.
They can then take the through trains,
which leave Wheeling at 1910 a. m. and
11:40 p. M, the regular Cannon Balls"
The latter train will carry a lot OF busl-
ness men who couldn't leave to-day.

It, For several campaigns past he has
stumped the state and has materially
aided In Republican successes In this
and other counties. As a member OF
the house of delegates and state senate
he made a splendid record, He Is, be-
sides, well qualified for the position In a
business way, and win vindicate the
wisdom of Collector White in appoint
Ing him.
Any one OF the gentlemen who were
applicants would have been satisfactory
to those having business with the Office
or Ia the Republicans OF the city, and
for that reason Mr.. White found It DIFF
ficut to make choice. The selection OF
Mr. Campbell was made after careful
consideration OF the situation and was
decided on after 1t was impossible to
decide between the applicants.
Mr. Campbell succeeds Mr.. A. II.
