VILE Convention.

Over in the Sixteenth Ohio congress
sional district the Democrats want a
candidate for Congress, some one who
can make a fight against the Republic
can nominee, the Hon. Joseph ]. Gill,
OF stepbenvllle. For weeks before the
late Martins Ferry convention Of the
Republicans there was a four coruered
fight ON for the nomination, and the
convention was deadlocked three days
before choice could be made.
Next week the "Demmles" meet in
steubenville to name Mr.. Glll's oppo-
nent but there isn't even one good
healthy candidate In the field; in fact
the nomination is going begging, and
In order to relieve the situation the
Intelllgencer this morning inserts with
out charge the want ad" that precedes
this story.
Mr.. L. Spence, the Martins Ferry
manufacturer, was mentioned In con-
nection with the nomination, but ac-
cordIng to information given the In
tellIgeneer last night from reliable
source, Mr.. Spence has decided not to
accept the nomination.
1t would be interesting to know Mr..
spence's reasons for declining to run,
especially after the esteemed Register
has come out only SO recently as Thurs
day morning with the announcement
that Mr. Spence had met delegation
Of Democratic leaders of the Sixteenth
district on Wednesday, and had told
them he would accept.
Mr.. Spence could not be seen last
night, but It is whispered that his rea-
son for declining to run, is that the
aforesaid Democratic leaders OF the
Sixteenth district requested him to give
a contribution of $1,000 to the campaign
fund. Mr.. Spence is said to have pom
dered on that 5000 Republican majority
in the Sixteenth, and then reached the
conclusion that the price of defeat was
altogether too steep.
Now, with Spence out OF 1t, what will
the Democratic brethren do? There
remain Colonel Poormap. of Bellalre.
and Editor AIcFadden. of steubenville-
both are very much at home as defeat
ed congressional candidates; perhaps
they will come to the rescue.

IRON AND STEEL.
Pronounced Feeling of"Wait" in the
NFapIrnf

Pronounced Feeling of"wait" in the
. Market.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept. 2O.-The
American Manufacturer will say to-
morrow:
There is a pronounced feeling Of
walt" in existence and It's influence is
distinctly felt, though of course there
can be no bad effects. The difference is
simply that buyers are not now rush
ing into the breach and filling 1t up
with money as they did a month ago
They are prepared to wait, and the
wait seems certain to run into next
year. In fact, that seems to be the
purpose Of the wait. The situation is
perfectly natural. The raw material
production is sold up to July. 1900. at
the highest prices so far quoted. Man
ufacturers are thus prepared to meet
whatever condition confronts them.
They are In a sense Indifferent about
taking business for the early part OF
next year offered at present. Some are
actually declining business now because
they prefer to see what the new year
Will bring.
Pig iron has been bought at prices
varying from $40 to $23 IS, Pittsburgh,
and at the worst next years early busl-
ness will be on that plane. But at
present producers OF finished iron and
steel are satisfied to do some waiting
rather to jump into next year even at
the prevailing high figures. The other
feature Of the situation is that buyers
are also waiting with the same end in
view. They know that prices on raw
materials have been fiXed for the first
six months Of 1900 and that considerable
business has been contracted for. The
inquiries and excited offers that flooded
the manufacturers a couple Of months
ago are mainly absent now. Some east
ern brokers say big orders for billets
have been placed for next years deliv-
cry at $36-$37. The opinion is express
ed by many buyers In the east that
iron and steel quotations have reached
high water mark, but the reasons given
are not conclusive. The eastern mar
ket on the contrary shows n decided
rising tendency and large orders are
presented on the basis Of outside quo
tatlong.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Hairy Glazler, the new D'Artagnan,
who is to appear in Edward Days YER
sion Of Dumas "The Three Muske-
teers," at the Opera House. tonight,
has not travelled any royal road to his
present stellar position. In assaylng the
part of D'Artagnan Mr.. GlazIer has re-
allied that a conventional rendering of
the character would awaken but little
interest among theatre-goers. During
the past year the stage has seen many
D'Artagnans, and. as the latest expo
nent of the reckless Gnscon. Mr.. Glazier
felt the necessity of giving to his i'm
personatlon as much originality as a
proper regard for Dumas description
Of his hero would permit. With this end
In view a new version Of the story was
prepared for him by Edmund Day. and,
while Mr.. Glazier's D'Artagnan Is the
same fearless. llght-hearted and pic
turesque swash-buckler that is found In
the book, he illumnlates the character
with bits OF new business" and origi-
nal readings, and evinces a fine disre-
gard for the network Of tradition. that
always surrounds so celebrated char
acter. The supporting company is nu-
merous and carefully chosen.

The last of the necessary papers were
signed at Belialre yesterday to permit
the Enterprise window Glass Company
to become absorbed by the window
glass combine.
The conditions stipulate that the
members of the old company can not
become interested in the production of
window glass for period Of ten years,
nor can they be connected with a fac
tory directly or Indirectly during that
time.
The price paid for the Enterprise is
not known, but 1t must have been a
fancy figure that induced the owners to
let go, for this is the company that
paid 100 per cent cash dividends each of
the three years past. and was known to
have surplus fund enough to pay about
two for one invested.

ARGUMENTSTO.DAY
In the Case of Cots Against For.
mer City Officials.
THE TESTIMONY IS ALL IN
And the Arguments by arcssrs. Nesbitt
and Russell for the Defense, and
Messrs. White and Arnett for the
Prosecution win be Heard To-day.
Tho Feeney Insanity Hearing to be
Resumed This Morning.

The trial OF the well known case Of
w. J. Colts against two former mem-
bers Of the board Of public works, Al
bert schenk and c. D. Thompson, Po-
lice omcer Holmes, ex-street Commits
Isoner Holmes and other city officials
which has been ON in the circuit court,
Judge Hervey on the bench, is nearing
It's end-In fact 1t will likely be in the
hands of the jury this evening.
Al yesterdays sessions number OF
witnesses were examined. including
John Clarke, former employee OF the
board of public works. C. D. Thompson,
Albert schenk, ex-Clty Clerk Charles
n. watkins, Police oficer James
Holmes, ex-street Commissioner Will
liam Holmes and Neil McNaughton,
former employe of the city. They tes-
titled as to the circumstances attending
the alleged false arrest Of Colts at the
corner Of Baker and Mccolloch streets.
East End, on December 30, 1895.
In rebuttal, the prosecution placed
Mr.. Cots on the stand late IN the atteF-
noon, but every question propounded
him by Colonel White was objected to
by Mr.. Russell, and these were invari-
ably sustained by Judge HerveY 50
that the plaintiff spent ten minutes in
the witness box fruitlessly.
When the taking of evidence had
ended, Mr.. Russell for the defense,
moved that the court instruct the jury
to bring in verdict for the defendants,
on the ground that verdict for the
plaintiff would not stand in law. The
Issuing of the warrant is not attacked,
said Mr.. Russell, and the arrest was
therefore justified. The motion was
overrulsd by the court.
The trial was adjourned until $3.50
o'clock, when the arguments viii begin.

the prosecution. and Messrs. Russell
