CARNES's LITTLE SCHEME
And How It Didn't Work With the
Fellows From the Wool County.
MUST FURNISH A MAJORITY
II They Insisted on Furnishing the Can
didate, the Carpes Fellows Were
Told-stin the Arrangement
Is Not Fair to Little
Carroll.

There was q lively time in the Republican
headquarters Friday, when Candidate for
Senator James H. Weaver arrived In the city,
in company with political friends who came
along to back up anything he said and to add
something on their own account.
The trouble was caused by the action of
Allen Carnes, who operates the politics Of
and had his faithful followers put into execut'
ion, that the delegates to the senatorial con-
vention should be named by the man
having the highest number Of votes.
This would give one man the entire
delegation of Stark county, and would give a
Carroll, no show whatever. AS Carroll fur
nishes the majority the people of that county
think the nominee should not be selected from
Stark without the Carroll voters having any
thing to do with, and they were here in force
to raise howl. Weaver is from East township,
and he has solid backing in Carroll
county. he thought that fact should not bar
him. During the forenoon nothing was accom-
plished, but at a session in the afternoon
George W. Wilhelm was pre- ,ent and
was given to understand what the handwrit
ing on the wall really meant. He was told
plainly that if Stark county wanted to proceed
on the plan adopted by the central committee,
that they would go ahead and furnish the
candidate, but they could also depend on II
that they would have to furnish the votes al
the election, as Carroll county voters would not
stand such maneuvers.
Henry W. Harter favored listening to the
Carroll county men, and it was arranged that
the candidate should name only from precincts
which he carried. That gives Mr
Weaver little better show, but il
is not wholly satisfactory. There are many
more precincts in Stark than in Carroll county,
hence the Stark county candidates will have
the better of the agreement.

WELTY CONSIDERED.
Cleveland Leader Correspondent
Thinks He Will Be a Candidate
For Governor,

Discussing the gubernatorial situation on
the Democratic side, the Columbus correspon.
dent of the Cleveland Leader says
Another candidate who is receiving some
recognition is John g. Welty, Esq, of Canton.
Mr.. Welty will undoubtedly be candidate
before the convention and may, in case of a
failure to agree upon any of the other men
named, be taken up as the anh.Lentz leader.
A conference of the Lentz opponents is to be
held here soon, at which time the plan ofaction
to be pursued will be agreed upon and an open
campaign begun, with probably Kilbourne as
at least the nominal candidate, though he may
be put aside for some other aspirant later on.
The principal thing-and the thing most
hoped for-is to defeat Lentz, and with that
done It is not believed there will be any diff.
Guilty In finding man to lead the cause.

About to Enter the List for State Sen
atOr, and the Other Candidates
are Hustling.

Special to the News-Democrat
Massillon, May 1.-THE numerous candi.
dates for the Republican nomination for repre-.
sentatives seem to look upon Massillon as the
keystone to their success. They are fairly
overunning each other to interview local pol
iticians, and Messrs. HOLES and Strong, Iof
Alliance, are especially active. Both claim
to have Alliance solid, but that Massillon sup.
port will be necessary to secure election.
George w. Wilhelm, Republican candidate
for the nomination for state senator, is some.
what concerned about the quiet work that is
being done by Canton and Massillon friends
of S. A. Conrad. Mr.. Conrad has not openly
announced himself as candidate, but it is
understood and stated on good authority that
he is in the hands of his friends. Probate
Judge Henry A. Wise of Canton, was closeted
with Mr.. Conrad Tuesday evening.

railroad brakeman, whose home is at Mingo
Junction, had most fortunate escape from
instant death beneath the wheels last evening.
While shifting In the yards here he was sitting
ut the end of the large new steel coke cars and
by sudden application of the air was thrown
from his position to the middle Of the track,
falling fat on his back. Before he could re-
cover himself the car had begun to pass over
him. In desperation he grabbed the axle and
was dragged several feet before his hold slip
ped. The train was moving slowly and rolled
off the track before the wheels could catch
him. The company's physician found his
right arm broken and his head and back badly
bruised. His recovery is extremely doubtful.

A number of Canton people have been fol-
lowing the case closely. Several residents of
this city are acquainted with the girl, and
some have been in the court room during
the progress of the trial, having been
called to the city on business Several others
have visited in the neighborhood, in Ale
gheny recently, and were familiar with the
case. One lady said to News. Democrat re-
porter, this morning, that the people of the
neighborhood were divided in their opinions
as to whether the girl ought to be punished,
but she thought the verdict was proper, from
what she heard while visiting in the neigh
borhood of the Beilstein home. Some of the
newspaper representatives who reported the
case of Anna e. George went to Pittsburg
from here and reported the Beilstein case.

FOR GOVERNOR.
General Sherwood Has Been
Mentioned and He Submits
to an Interview.

General 1. R. Sherwood, of Toledo, was in
the city Friday, shaking hands with numerous
friends. Gen. Sherwood has been numerously
mentioned as an available and strong candi.
date for governor on the Democratic ticket
this fall and Stark county friends have been
interested in these various references to him.
Gen. Sherwood was approached by News
Democrat man today with reference to the re-
ports of his candidacy. He said:
"If the northeastern part of the state, in.
cluding Toledo and Lucas county, should
promise me their support, should feel like
making a run for the nomination. Northern
Ohio has not had a candidate for governor on
the Democrat ticket since Henry b. Payne, in
1859. He was from Cleveland, so northwest
ern Ohio has not had candidate at all.
Heretofore the candidates have come from
central and southern Ohio. Our section will
certainly present candidate this year, and will
firmly and respectfully urge his nomination.
A number of gentlemen in northwestern Ohio
have been mentioned, but the party does moi
| seem TO have settled on anyone definitely as
| yet III should get the support OF Toledo and
Lucas county, and should decide to be a can
didate, / would probably get the bulk of the
support of northwestern Ohio. have been
assured Of support in Williams, Fulton, San
dusky, Wyandot, Erie and Ottawa counties
and have had letters from friends In Other
counties in the state, urging me to become Q
candidate. have been solicited by prominent
Democrats In Cuyahoga county to stand fol
the nomination, and the same is true o.
Franklin county. 1t Is too early yet to take 1
guage of public opinion, but II decide to be {
candidate shall be candidate up to the fin
ish."

NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE
For the Killing of Her Mother Because
Ordered by Spirit.
THE VERDICT is POPULAR
As tho People Believed She Was Emotion
ally Insane When She Committed
the Act-Canton People Have
Watched the Trial
with Interest,


Special to the News-D Democrat.
Pittsburs, May 13.-Bertha Beilstein was
this morning acquitted Of the murder of her
mother. The case was one of the most pecul-
lar in the history of Pittsburg. 1t had an
added interest from the fact that she was
young and pretty, and that her ground Of
defense was much the same as that injected
into the case of Anna E. George at Canton.
Temporary insanity, superinduced by emotion
and an alleged call from the spirit world to
kill her mother formed part of the defense.
This, without the spirit feature, was largely
the defense at Canton. Bertha had said on
the stand that she loved her mother but she
was told by the spirit of her father to kill her
mother. The father had died some time earl
ier, and the daughter, Bertha, who
had always taken some interest in spirit
ualism, became more and more absorbed
in the study Of the subject. She said
she had visions to kill her mother, as her
father had come to her and told her that he
was very lonesome. She had intended to kill
herself to save the life of her mother, but as
she was about to do it she was overcome by the
spirit and her emotion and shot her mother
dead, afterward attempting suicide. The jury
went out at o'clock last night and remained
out all night. The verdict is popular, as near
ly every one believed that the girl was not ac-
countable for her actions at the time the deed
was committed.

POETIC APPEAL.

A prisoner in the county Jail dropped the
out of the Jail window into Fifth
street yesterday, and it found its way to the
News Democrat Office:
In Canton, Stark county,
They have strong jail,
Where they keep us poor devils
Who cannot find bail.
Our friends have deserted,
And left us alone
In darkness and dirt,
In this filthy old hole.
The people at large
Do not know how we live,
Or they would not be hard
But would shake up tine sieve.
The Grand Juries have ordered
The place to be cleaned
And give us more light,
And make other amends.
But they have not been needed,
And we lie here the same,
In Sickness distress,
And the Sheriff to blame.
We get meat for to eat
But as tough as brick,
And the Sheriff just smirks
When we raise big kick.
Now, things they are gong
From bad into worse,
Or would not sit down
And write up this verse.
If the people who come
To church Sunday night,
Would see to these things
And have them made right.
1t would be more religion
And ess of sham,
For TO do us some good,
For we know that you can.
