left Camp Thomas this morning for
Newport News. The Third Illinois
broke camp at o'clock and marched
to Rossville, and the other two regi-

1t is probable they will leave either
tomorrow or Sunday. Accompanying
them or following in short order will
be the signal corps and the reserve
hospital and abulance corps. 1t is
now generally believed here that Gen.
Brooke will succeed in taking the
whole of the First corps with him to
Porto Rico. This is not yet officially
given out, but there is said to be little
doubt of its correctness. The corps
numbers about $4,000 men.
Col. Culver, Fifth Illinois. is now in
command of the Third brigade, First
division, First army corps. 1t is under
stood that a brigadier general will be
assigned to command the brigade. To-
day 1t is rumored that Gen. Fred
Grant would be placed in command of
the brigade. No order to this effect
has been issued from corps headouar-
tiers as yet, however.
It was thought that Gen. II. V.
Boynton would be assigned to this
brigade, while Gen. M. V. Sheridan.
General Brooke's adjutant, was also
mentioned for the place. A definite
order as to who will command the
brigade will be issued soon.
The Chattanooga police have receiv-
ed from General Brooke descriptions

The Ohio county delegates to the
Democratic Congressional convention
at Weston returned home at s: As yes
terday morning over the B. & o. The
delegates were tired and worn out by
the trip, but we'll pleased with the
result of the work of the convention.
Hon. j. V. Blair is regarded as a winner
and all are confident he will make big
inroads in the Republican vote of Ohio
county as well as other counties of the
district. All the delegates are warm
in their praises of the ability and char
acter of the Democratic candidate. He
is an eloquent speaker and always i'm
presses his hearers with his manifest
sincerity Mr. Blair is also noted for
his personal popularity and there are
few better mixers.
Jackson V. Blair is As years of age,
being born on April 16, 1853, in Har-
rison county. Mr.. Blair's antecedents
are closely identified with Virginias
and West Virginias early history
members of the family being persons
of distinction during their lifetime
The name Of his great grandfather
William Blair appears on the first deed
book Of Harrison county, then Vir-
ginia, and his mothers father, Nor
gan Morgan, was a descendant of David
Morgan, of INDIAN fighting fame,
who was related to Gen. Daniel Nor
gan.
The Democratic candidate is a splen-
did example of self-made manhood.
His life has not been a path of roses,
and his heart lies close to the interest
of the common people. At eleven years
of age he started to work his own way
through life, and for some time was
employed as a farm hand, attending
school during winter seasons and study
ing at nights. He settled in Doddridge
county when nineteen years of age. He
was first employed as laborer in lum-
Der works, afterwards taught school,
and continued to teach and labor until
1873, when he entered the State Nor
NAL School at Fairmont. After his
graduation at the normal school he
was elected county superintendent Of
schools in Doddridge county. He taught
school until 1877, when he commenced
the practice of law. He has been an
able practitioner at the bar, and has
been engaged in a number of noted
civil and criminal cases. He has been
lifelong Democrat, and as he de-
clared in his speech of acceptance at
the Weston convention, is a firm be-
lever and earnest supporter OF the
principles of the Chicago platform of
1896. He has been prominently identi-
fed in politics, and has been frequently
mentioned as a candidate for Congress,
but has never sought office. The nom
ination at Weston came unsolicited,
and every delegate who participated
in that convention is convinced that no
better selection could have been made.

The Ohio county delegates to the
convention elected G. w Oldham, of

friends by the now familiar title OF

For the first time in many years

IN KENsINGToN GARDENS.

Times out Of number I tried to ac-
count for the Earl's agitation when he
had encountered her. 1t was evident
they were not strangers. although
when had introduced them he treated
her with studied courtesy.
One day early in January I had re-
ceived message from Lord Warnham
to call at his house in Berkeley square,
but when arrived found a note stat
ing that he had been compelled unex-
pectedly to 90 down to Lord Maybury's
seat in Hertfordshire to consult hirn.
Therefore l left.
Having passed Queens Gate l was
approaching Broad Walk when was
attracted by two figures strolling slow
ly together in front of me-a man and
a woman
The woman walking before me was
Ella.
Her companion, tall, broad shoul-
dered young man, wore a long drab
overcoat Of distinctly "horsy" cut. a
silk hat Of the latest shape, and dis
played a good deal of shirt cuff. He
was evidently fop, and his whole e1-
terror, from his vanished boots to the
velvet cuffs Of his overcoat, pronounc-
ed him to be cad. Leisurely he strobe
by her side, smoking cigarette and
earnest in conversation. now and then
emphasizing his words by striking the
| o1y,o ~ oil hand wi IN
fist.
Once, while he spoke, she stopped
, short and stretched out both hands
toward him in an attitude Of supplica-
ton. But he did not heed her, for,
giving vent to low laugh, he contin-
ued, emphasizing his words as before.
| Then, clinching her hands, she stamped
her foot in anger, and, tossing her
| head in contempt, walked forward
again, needless of her companion s
threatening attitude.
| From that moment both grew calm
or, for the man, uttering words OF for
giveness, snatched up her hand and
imprinted kiss upon it. For a brief
second she allowed her hand to linger
in his grasp, then withdrew it gently,
but firmly, regarding him with ear
nestness the while. This action arous-
ed my anger to fierce murderous ha-
tired. With difficulty managed to pre-
serve an outward calm, because, In
my state OF mind, l felt compelled to
watch and wait. Yet, il had had a
weapon ready to my hand at that me
ment verify believe that must have
thrown myself upon this arrogant cad
and mercilessly killed him.
l managed, however, to hold myself
back, watching them exchange tender
| farewell at the gate that led into Ken
sington High street next the Palace
Hotel, and while the man raised his hat
| politely and, turning, walked away in
the direction Of Knightsbridge, Ella
her face radiant and happy, bowed and
set out homeward in the opposite di.
rection.
Beneath the lamp in the gateway
had, in those brief seconds, obtained q
| glimpse of his face. 1t was that OF q
young man Of about two-and-twenty
with strongly marked. features, fair.
haired, and of quite different type
than / had oonjectured. The features
were rather refined, by no means those
of a cad, but rather those OF well-bret
young idler, who affected the dress ant
manners Of that class Of youths who
frequent the Cafe Monico on Sunday
evenings, the slaves OF the counter.
