The Steubenville HeraldStar says:
The Acme employees have arranged
for a special train to take them and
others who may wish to attend the
Congressional convention to Martins
Ferry next week. The remarkable low
rate of 40 cents for the round trip has
been secured on the Cleveland and
Pittsburg railroad, which will insure
an immense crowd. 1t is estimated
that fully 1000 Steubenville people may
go to Martins Ferry to shout for Mr..
Gill and work for his nomination. No
definite time has yet been arranged for
the special train, but the time will be
announced Monday. 1t is also stated
that an organization of business men
from this city will go to Martins Ferry,
but final arrangements have not yet
been completed. The Wheeling and
Lake Erie may run special to the
convention. At any rate there is going
to be big crowd of Steubenville peo-
pie at the convention"

THE SITUATION OVER THE RIVER
LITTLE CHANGED THE PAST
WEEK-THE DEADLOCK AP-
PARENTLY ALREADY ON-EX-
PRESTON OF OPINIONS AND
COMMENT.

The committee on arrangements at
Martins Ferry reports everything COM
pleted for the reception and entertain
ment of the Congressional Conven-
ton of the Sixteenth Ohio District, on
Tuesday, when delegates from i've
populous counties will assemble to
place in nomination Republican to
succeed the late Capt Danford. Dur
ing the past week there has been little
of importance to note in connection
with the situation, as the deadlock into
which the convention will doubtless be
thrown in its earlier stages is already
on, and so far as outside information
extends delegations will remain with
favorites for a score or more of bal
lots. After thorough test of loyalty
has been made dickering will begin
among the leaders, and what this may
result in can only be conjectured. 1t
is generally accepted that the fight will
be a long one and will perhaps be
marked with as much spirit and earnest
ness as any convention for years in the
district made famous by the distin-
guished John A. Bingham, in his day
orator, statesman and advocate of
rarest genius.
While the followers of the three
leading candidates express themselves
with equal confidence on the outcome,
there is notable absence of figures in
the calculations. Claims of outside
support are made, but no convincing
evidence of its fulfillment is fortheom
ing. When the hosts begin to gather
and an exchange of opinion is made, it
may be easier to form rational opin
ion as to what shall be the issue of the
convention and it's final edict

AS Carroll county is conceded to oc-

a request was sent to Hon. John H.
Fimple, who will control the major por-
ton of the delegation, for an opinion.
The reply follows:
Special to the Register
CARROLLTON, O., September lore
ferring to your recent request for an opin-
ion as to the probable result of the Mar
tins Ferry convention, l have to say that
do not care to express my opinion in adj
vance of the convention, further than to
say that l do not believe any candidate can
see his nomination in sight at present.
Carroll county is in the contest in earnest.
with practically solid delegation and with
the best of feeling toward all the candi-
dates in the district, and with potent
claims that should be recognized by the
larger counties, we confidently hope to win
out. Yours very sincerely,
JOHN II. FIMPLE.

WASHINGTON, March g. Captain
George b. Davis, commissary of suhsis-

beef board of inquiry court today. He
assisted in preparing the Santiago beef
contract with Swift u Co., dealing es-
peclally with the preparation clause
covering the time the beef was to be
kept in refrigerat0rs on shore. He un-
derstood from General Eagan that the
beef was to, be kept in refrigerators
.seventy-two hours after arrival and
twenty-four hours after removal from
them. "This was the extreme limit,
he said. 'It was not supposed that
beef would be kept more than twenty
four hours
Captain Davis said he heard some
thing of the Powell process for preserv-
ing beef, and experiments were made
with it at Tampa about the time OF the
sailing of the Santiago expedition.

fact that he had $2 on bis person no
suspicion of foul play was entertained.
But.a day or two ago man arrived in
Trinidad who claimed to have been a
