WY GEAR RETIRED.


Mr. a. V. Gear was strongly ur2-
ed Ivy mis- irienda ia the Fourth dis
trict os a senatorial candidate, and
much cf tho friction in tho district
hal artisan in conseq qnenca. Mr..
Gear decided yesterday afternoon,
however, that in the interest of
harmony snd the party he world
not allow his name to go before the
convention. He is entitled TO cred
it for this course Mr.. Gear is a
strong party worker and the ticket
will receive the full benefit of his
support.-The Advertiser,
A paragraph similar to the ahoye
also appeared in the Star last night,
but neither the Star nor the Adver
tser mentioned the fact chat Mr..
Gears retirement was because OF a
direct threat on the part of the
Advertiser and Mr.. Thurston, its
proprietor, TO bolt the party if Mr.
Gear was nominated Mr.Gear,unlike
Mr..Thurston and all he represents,
is a republican from principle, and
not because of what he thinks he
can ,,mske out OF it, and therefore
he was willing to bida his time RAJ
ther than afford Mr.. Thurs!on aud
his paper an excuse for holting. The
action Of Mr. Tburston and h.s sup
porters is to be denounced by every
good citizen regardless Of party. 1t
is the same old thing with the "de-
vils partner"--either rnle or ruin.
When his rule OF local affairs SCENE
ed threatened he resorted to the
ruin threat, Mr.. Gears action is to
be commended, in q strict party
sense, and yet it 10 not creditab!e to
him or any other man to give way
for the purpoee Of allowing political
pirates of tho Thureton stamp to
continue to dominate this territory
The Republican.
The INDEPENDENT would add, in
perhaps a friendly, yet malicious
spirit that the Republicans lost
votes when they dowpod Gear
Privately and publicly he has ident-
fled himself with the best interests
OF the country. From THr INpE
rENDENT's standpoint it looks an i
the Thurstonian and family com
pact wing intend to lead lbe Repub
lican party to defeat. Pro bablJ
they cannot help themselves fo
they must know that TnE INDEPEN
DENT voters will vote for the bes
men.

Now that annexation is accom-

There are always objecIors to pro-

HABEAs CORPUS PROCEEDINGS
In the Interest of a Convict in the
MoundsyilIe Penitentiary Who
Claims an Allowance of Time for
Good Behavior, Which is Denied
Him by the Warden of the Prison.
Other Court News.

Col w. w. Arnett returned from
Parkersburg last evening, where he APP
peared before Judge Jackson in the
United States Court on behalf of AL
gernon Granville, an United States pris-
oner from the District of Columbia, the
application being for writ of habeas
corpus The prayer was granted, the
writ being made returnable next We'd
nesday, when the District Attorney will
be present.
The application grows out of de-
mand for good time alleged to be due
the prisoner but not allowed. The
prisoner claims, through his counsel, TO
be entitled to five days in each calendar
month as good time, on sentence ex-
ceeding six months, while the West Vir-
GINA statute allows no good time ex-
cept upon sentences of two years and
upwards. The point is an interesting
as well as a new one, and the outcome
will be watched with considerable in
terest by criminal lawyers.
In the petition it is recited that Gran
vile was convicted on May %, 1899, in
the United States Court at Washington
and sentenced to sixteen months in the
penitentiary at Moundsville, where he
is still retained, while he claims his
term has expired. Under the law he is
entitled to have five days month de-
Quoted from his sentence for good be-
hayior. He claims that his conduct has
been exemplary, and that the deduc-
tons from his sentence on that ac-
count have SO reduced his term that it
has now expired, although Warden
Hawk refuses to release him.

4 Sensational REPORT
WHICH WAS VERY INDUsTRIoUsLY
CIRCULATED IN THE CITY
YESTERDAY.
FEAR OF A WATER SHORTAGE
Caused Many Persons to Take the
Unnecessary Precaution to Fill
Vessels With Water-The Conncc-
ton mt the Pumping station Not
TO Be Made for Three Weeks.

Where it started, or what gave rise
TO the rumor. could not be learned, but
report was persistently circulated
throughout the city to the effect that
the water would be turned of again
last night. Believing themselves TO be
profiting by their unpleasant exper-
fence OF week ago, hundreds of house
wives took what proved to be the en-
tirely unnecessary precaution to fill all
their empty pans and vessels of every
description with water. Some drew
sufficient quantity to provide against
all possible demands upon Sunday, and
then in many instances orders were
issued to members of the household to
use the precious fluid judiciously and
sparingly.
The report gained general circula-
ton, and was generally credited. The
latter fact is probably due to the
knowledge, CLEANED from the daily
papers, that representative of the
Holly Manufacturing Company has ar
rived in the city, his mission being to
make the connection between tine new
pump and the force main
Strangely enough the Water Board
discovered, after its disastrous expert
ments week ago. that there was a
clause in the contract with the Holly
Company requiring them to make the
connection upon which the water
works employees experimental with
such unlooked-for results. The Regis
ter was first to give the information
that the Board wired the company to
send an expert here in accordance with
the terms of the contract
The rumor which was circulated yes
terday no doubt caused the water
works officials considerable annoyance.
1t is understood that there was a long
succession of telephone inquiries. 1t
was late when the Register called for
information, and the man at the other
end of the phone was evidently out of
patience, as he OF right should have
been. He answered that the report was
a lie" and that the connection be-
tween the new pump and the force main
will not be made in less than three
weeks.
The Y will be put in this time under
the direction of an expert, and his sup
erintendence of the work will reduce
the annoyance to consumers to a min
imum.

The o. w. L. club, which reorganized
a few weeks ago, has secured elegant
quarters in Fink's building, corner
Twelfth and Market streets, and once
more the popular organization is in full
sway. Several years ago the lovers of
outdoor amusements looked 10 the owls
for furnishing novel outings and social
sessions, and to say that all their fune-
tins were successful is putting 1t mildly.
1t will therefore be welcome news TO those
who have partaken of the hospitality of
the club, to learn that the members have
decided to hold an outing at Mozart Park
on Tuesday, August 14th. The programme
so far as arranged calls for dancing
bowling and general amusements all af-
