TAFFY FOR OLD SOLDIERS.

To the Editor of the Register
PEASB TOWNSHIP, Ohio, october q.
The same old game is being played as
usual by the Republicans with old SOL
ders-trying to get their votes, and after
the election they will have no more need
for them till the next election.
This year il is much harder than usual.
The Republicans are throwing the SOL
diers taffy in the way of having more
of them act as vice presidents of meet
ings, as witnessed at the Republican
meetin gat Bridgeport october q, and
which will most likely b erepeated at
Martins Ferry at Friday nights meet
ing. These thoughts were suggested by
conversation between two old soldiers,
and heretofore staunch Republicans First
soldier said to the second: ibid you no.
tice the unusual number OF old soldiers
on the platform as Vice Presidents? DO
you know why?" Second soldier: mo;
what is the reason?" First soldier:
Don't you see that for the last thirty
three years it was no trouble to get sol
diers to Republican meeting when Capt
Danford was one of the speakers. They
did not have to make them Vice Presi-
dents in order to get them there, but
since Danford has sbo badly betrayed Us
they are using such means as these to get
our votes"
Second soldier: well. Danford has
betrayed us too often TO fool us this
time into voting for him"
"Ah. no, Capt. Danford, you can't get
us this time by such tafry as that"

Eddie Gardner thinks there can be
no question that Gardner will get the
decision over Kelly tonight. Talking
about the impression which many per-
sons have, that Oscar cannot fight at
116 pounds, he said: Il think Oscar
will enter the ring in as good condition
as he has ever been in his life. When
he fought McClelland, the scales were
fixed at 1872 pounds, and he stepped on
with his Undertaking on, and did not
tip the beam. He has probably been
down to 116 for several days. think
Kelly will have more trouble making
the weight than Oscar. Kelly fights
very much like McClelland. He is very
quick and clever, but he cannot give
or take as much punishment as Oscar" "

Stockholders Being Advised Not to Deposit
Their Holding Under Reorganization
s Plan.
A circular has been issued by the ex-
ecutive committee of the stockholders
Of the Central Ohio Railroad Company,
advising the stockholders of the COM
pany to refuse to deposit their stock
under the plan of reorganization which
has been announced. The circular is
issued by Mr.. William H. Conkling,
chairman of the committee, and states
that the committee has assurance that
the time limit will be extended
Under the plan as announced all
securities must be deposited by Novem-
Der 1. 1t is understood that negotia-
lions are pending to secure for the
stockholders better terms than are
offered by the plan. A proposition was
made to give, in addition to what the
plan offered, S. share to each stock
holder asserting to the agreement.
This was refused and counter propo-
sition made of $40 share, but was
not accepted by the reorganization
syndicate. 1t is thought that COM
promise will be made.

Wheeling's red and blue. The indica-
lions point to crowd of at least 1000

MS ROUNDS!
The Real Estate Swindler on the
Ohio Side.
ROBBED TWO LADIES OF FIVE DOL
LARS EACH, YESTERDAY, AND
CAME VERY NEAR GETTING FIF-
TEEN DOLLARS MORE-HE IS
Now IN BELLAIRE


The general all around swindler
who worked his skin game in Wheeling
the first of the week, and for whom it
was made so warm that he found it
necessary to go over to the Ohio side,
succeeded in landing two unsuspecting
persons yesterday in very easy man
ner.
He is not cheap guy. Nothing less
than a five dollar bill goes with him.
In fact, he is a sort of a five dollar
man, as that seems to be about the
amount he generally goes after. Neither
is he a slick article, for any person
who has their wits about them cannot
help suspecting that some kind of a
swindle is being worked on them.
He is in Bellaire now, and it is to
be hoped that he will be in Jail when
next heard from. The Wheeling author
tiles drove him out and he went to
Bridgeport. Here he proceeded to do"
Mrs. Silas Sells to the tune of a five
dollar bill by representing himself as
an insurance collector. He Informed
that lady that her husband had sent
him to the house to collect the amount
above named, which was due upon his
insurance policy. Mrs. Sells never
doubted his honesty and paid it over.
She was five dollars out, and he, re-
joicing over such an easy victim, pro-
ceeded to Martins Ferry, where he
found another just as easy. This time
he appeared as a property owner. He
walked into the store of Samuel Fox,
on South Broadway, near Buckeye
street, and asked Mr.. Fox who owned
the building. He told him, and that
was all that was necessary. He pro-
ceeded to tell Mr.. Fox that he had pur-
chased it from its former owner. Then
finding out that the rent had not been
paid, he proceeded to tell him that he
would collect the rent for the month
The amount, five dollars, was paid over,
and he left. Shortly afterwards the
victim discovered his mistake.
Things were coming the swindler's
way till he struck Aetnaville. Here
he represented himself as a collector
for Rolf & Zane, Wheeling real estate
agents, and attempted to collect rent
money from Mrs. Craig. Mrs. Craig
did not see it that way, so he pro-
ceeded to- the residence of Mrs Gout-
ger, claiming that he wished to pur-
chase her property. She was willing
to sell, and also willing to give SIS to
him for looking up the title. Her son,
who happened in just at this moment,
was not willing, consequently the fiji
teen cart wheels were so near and yet
so far.
Other attempted swindles were made
by him, all being unsuccessful, and the
game being about up he started for
Bellaire.

BOXING NOTES.

Eddie Gardner has been matched
against Mark Kirwin, of Pittsburg, for
a ten round contest before the Law
renceville Athletic Club on the evening
of November 18th. An effort was made
F. to get Jack McClelland to meet Kir-
win, but for some reason best known
to himself and his hackers, McClelland
refused. Kirwin and Gardner have al
ready fought six round draw.
Eddie Gardner and his hacker showed
UP at the Register office at eight
o'clock last night, with a pocketful of
money, but no person was present to
make a match. The man Henderson,
whose pipe dream found its way into
print, is an entire stranger to Gardner,
and was simply imposing upon the
Steubenvdlle reporter. There are two
gentlemen who are known, making
their headquarters in an East End
saloon, who are initiating Henderson.
They don't shine as faklrs, but they
may succeed in getting their names in
type sooner than they expect.
Oscar Gardner writes to the sporting
editor of the Register from Brooklyn,
N. Y, that he has matched Harry
Fischer and Jack Colyer, to fight before
the Bridgeport, Athletic Club, On No
venber 7th. Fischer is the man who
beat Jim Franey in four rounds in New
York. He has also bested Tom Will
Jams in four rounds, Dan Murphy in
fifteen rounds, Con Doyle twice,
Charley Johnson in fifteen rounds,
Young Sharkey in ten rounds. and has
fought draws with Harry Peppers and
Tommy Tracey after losing to them.
Gardner himself is in excellent shape,
and states that he is confident Of secur-
ing the decision over Sammy Kelly in
their fight before the Lenox A. c. to-
night. He will return to Wheeling the
early part of next week, with Arthur,
Winder, and Maurer. Fischer will be
with the party. He will remain in this
vicinity for the purpose of arranging
several battles at from $50 to 15S
pounds.
There will be plenty Gardner money
at the ringside in New York tonight.
Sullivan, his hacker, has been trying
to bet $1,000 on him. A big crowd is
expected, as it has been stated that the
winners end of the receipts will
amount to about $500. If Gardner
bests Kelly, there will be no trouble in
getting takers for Dixon money, in the
