Specldl 10 the tteSlSter.
Huntington, W. a., February 2.-The
West Virginia asylum for the Incur
ables has been dedicated and delivered
by its Board Of Directors into the care
and keeping of the State. The exer-
cises were not only successful, but
impressive. AT half-paSt seven a spe-
cial train over the Chesapeake & Ohio
bearing the members of the LegiSla-
ture arrived, numerous distinguished
guests having reached town On an ear
lier train. Met by carriages, the
members of the House and Senate
were at Cnce driven to the Home for
IncurableS, a magnificent building
standing on a commanding eminence
just south Of the city.
Upon their arrival at the Home"
the guests were ushered into the spa
cious reception room. At O'Clock
Mrs. Ruffner called the meeting to or
der, and in a few well chosen words
outlined the object Of the work which
she had undertaken. and the Vicissi
tudes through which it had passed be-
fore reaching completion. At the close
of Mrs. Ruffner's remarks, she called
Hon. John K. Thompson, United States
marshal, to the chair. and having
briefly accepted the honor, Col.
Thompson was addressed by the Hon.
T. A. Vinson, who spoke for and on
behalf of the Chamber of Commerce
and the city of Huntington, and in the
name of the Board of Directors ten
dered to the State of West Virginia
the Asylum for Incurables. Governor
Atkinson responded on behalf of the
State, and accepted the instutition.

nuts, left nothing to be desired.

Special by Long Distance Telephone.
Sistersville, w. Va, February 3.-3
a. m.-Shortly before three O'Clock
this morning Harry Defibaugh was
shot dead on the street, near ex-May-
or Gardeners residence, by Ella Bowen.
Very little definite information can
be had at this hour, because Miss Bow
en- is keeping her own counsel, and
Deffibaugh died before any one came
upon the scene to hear his story.
Four shots, fired in quick sue
cession, were heard at aboIt quarter
of three. Several persons on the
street ran in the direction of the
sound, and soon came upon Deffbaugh
lying on the sidewalk.
He was dying and before a physi-
clan arrived, ten minutes later, he was
dead.
An examination showed that one
bullet had passed through his neck,
another through the right breast, near
the nipple, and the third between the
fifth and sixth ribs on the left side.
When the people attracted to the
scene arrived they found Miss Ella
Bowen standing near the dying man.
In her possession was revolver with
four empty chambers.
BY the time officers and your reporter
arrived, Miss Bowen had decided not to
tell her Story of the killing, but to
others she had told III d. fragmentary
way of the causes leading up to the
killing.
She said Defibaugh had accosted her
at the corner OF Water and Diamond
streets and upon her refusal to talk to
him had followed her, seized her and
torn her clothes. She broke away and
ran, Defffbaugh following. At the point
described above, she turned and see
ing Deffibaugh was about to assault
her, she shot him. She said she was
terrorized and did not know what she
was doing.
Miss Bowen is about twenty years
old, quite attractive and is described by
those who know her as of sober and
peaceable disposition.
Deffibaugh was about twenty-eight
a teamster, and a son of John Deffin-
baugh, one of the best known horse
and cattle dealers of this section,
where he has been in business for
years.
Miss Bowen is in Jail.

Chicago, February DIR. living B.

bers of the class, and at a stormy meet
ing to-day demand was made on the

STANDS UP FOR REGULARS.

Albany, N. Y, February Gov
ernor Roosevelt announces that ne
will sign no bill passed by the Legs
lature which shows discrimination be-
tween regular and volunteer soldiers.
This declaration was brought forth by
the introduction in the Legislature OF
a bill giving to the volunteer soldiers
of the United States army in the war
with Spain, the same privileges as are
enjoyed by the veterans of the civil

bill of this character is unjust.

1t is intimated that the next CONSOLE
dation of manufacturing interests
which may have bearing upon the in
dustries of this community is the get
ting together of the pipe and tube
makers of the country. Such a combi-
nation, it is learned, is not of recent
conception, but has been renewed at
intervals with more or less determine
ton through a period of five years or
more. The Pittsburg manufacturers
seem to have taken the initiative in
the matter, and they are at present
numerously represented at the meeting
in New York, where details are being
discussed. AS soon as plans are ma
tured they will be sent out to all the
big firms throughout the United States
for approval and adoption, and when
the opinions of these boards are made
an opinion as to the practicability of
the scheme. Those in a position to
know something of what has been go
ing on among the tube interests in for
mer years, do not consS1er the pres
ent effort at consolidation fattering in
results. But local capitalist, who,
however, is not engaged in this partic-
ular branch of industry, said to the
Register yesterday: ct is true, so far
as l have been able to observe, that
competition is sharper now than ever
before, and as this condition is father
to the trusts, it is possible the pipe and
tube men will be brought closer to-
gether this time than upon any former
occasion. If an out and out consoli-
dation representing the volume of the
output is not achieved, uniform scale
of prices will in all probability be
agreed upon"

Besides the smart competition In this
line of manufacture another reason is
assigned for cooperation at this partic-
ular time The foreign market is said to
be more promising than ever before, and
American product is being introduced
where it never found sale in years gone
by. The Americans are beating the Ger
mans on their own heath, and not lit
tie of the Ohio valley output finds its way
to the East Indies. South America and
the Orient. 1t is expensive. though, for
individual firms to do business at such
long range, and this is used as an argu-
ment in favor of a syndicate or distrib-
uting head

1t is now said to be the intention of the
promoters to call the new organization
the American Tube Company. The com
mittee in charge of the preliminary
work in New York will not be able to
make a definite report to the manufac-
turers interested for several Gays, but
when it has submitted the results of it's
deliberations no time will be lost in Sc
curing a charter.
This will have to be done in New Jer-
sey, as no other State will give a charter
to corporation with capital stock of
more than $4,000, and the new combine
will be capitalized at $50, 0040O0 or $780,
oJ0C00. Eastern reports of the meeting
now going on connect the name of the
Wheeling Steel and Iron company as
possible integral part % 1.-THE combine but
high official of that concern when seen
last night denied all knowledge of such
proceedings and disavowed any connec-
ton with the movement at the present
time. The Riverside Tube works at Ben
wood however, are the largest of the kind
in the United States outside of the Pitts
burg district, and it is not at all likely
that strenuous effort will not be made
to get it to join issue with the Pitts
burg and Illinois interests if the plan now
incubating is carried to maturity.
