ALL WANT 1T.
Ohio Towns aft err the Coming Congress
ional Convention.

Ohio Towns after the Coming Congress
iouaI Convention.
The Republican Congressional COM
mittee of the Sixteenth Ohio district
meets at Martins Ferry On Thursday TO
discuss matters relative to their COM
ing convention. The friends of the re-
spective candidates will doubtless do
some scheming to have the convention
held in the county where their favorite
resides because of some fancied or real
advantage supposed to result there
from. The hackers of G. l.. Weems, OF
ST. Clairsville. would like to see the
convention brought to Belmont county
and Bellaire and Martins Ferry are
both after it. The Jefferson county
candidates want the meeting to go TO
Steubenville and those favoring Gen
eral Hollingsworth would be pleased 10
have Cadiz settled upon. This cross
firing may possibly result in some neu-
trail ground being selected such as could
be found at Woodsfeld. in Monroe
county, where there are no candidates
TO come before the convention. The
real contest, though, would appear to
lie between Bellaire and SteuDenville,
which are equally well equipped TO en-
ter the large crowd sure to be in at
tendance.

This evenings session of Council
will be more than ordinarily important,
for the reason that several of the pend
ing applications for city franchises
may be heard from.
One Of the most important matters
is the ordinance of the Peoples Rail-
way Company, which was %favorably re-
commended at the last session of the
Committee on Railroads. 1t is under
stood the measure has been printed as
it passed the Committee named, and If
the friends of the new company feel
strong enough, the measure may be put
Upon its passage. If this strength is
not assured, the measure will be re-
ferred to the Committee on Railroads,
and the fight will probably be, tonight,
as to which of these things will happen.
The Committee on Ordinances Is
popularity understood to be unfavor-
able to the ordinance, and the measure
once in it's hands, it might be tabled or
held up indefinitely. If the measure is
not so referred, and is put on its pass
age, it will be read one time in the
Branch in which it is introduced, be
objected to, and will lie over under the
rules until the next session. There
was a good deal of speculation yester-
day as to what will happen in the ses-
sion, and the result will be looked for
ward to as in the nature of a test vote.
Another matter to come up is the
recommendation of appointments by
the City Engineer, as reported to the
Board of Public Works last week, and
referred to in the Register the follow
ing morning. Mr.. C. w. Lohse, the
present chief draughtsman, who has
been in the Office for the past five
years, has been displaced because he is
a Democrat, by Mr.. Arbenz, whose
name was sent in to the B. P. w.
There is no p%retense that Mr.. Lohse
was not a good man, but his place was
wanted for a Republican, and he will
have to go. 1t was the understanding
at the time the change in the office and
salary of the City Engineer was made,
that Democrats were to have recogni-
ton in appointments, but this promise
has evidently been forgotten.

a man of the same build and height
and wore a dark suit of clothes. Lew
is was then dismissed.
After the hearing Lewis told a friend
that it was his opinion he would be

will make him prove an alibi account

prosecution and false Imprisonment.
