CABINET RUMoRs.
II Is Believed That Lord Lansdowne
Will Be Assigned to the Foreign
Office.

NEW YORK. Sept. ga dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
The rumor mongers are still at work
on the cabinet while the canvass is in
progress. Lord Lansdowne had a long
interview with Lord Salisbury before
the diplomatic reception and. as this
was the second time within a week that
they have been closeted together. the
political gossips We're convinced that
they themselves were on the right
scent in determining a successor to the
foreign office.
There is. at least. a strong proba-
bility that Lord Salisbury in leaving
the foreign office will desire to find a
locum tenentem who will consider him
at every turn Of affairs, and the per-
sonal relations between him and Lord
Lansdowne suggest this selection Of
"a substitute.

The musicale given at the Presby-
terrain Church last evening under the
direction of Mr. William Mann, who
paid all the expenses of this entertain
ment, was one of the best ever given in
this valley. Mr.. Mann deserves much
credit for bringing together this gifted
talent, and the members of this con-
gregation should appreciate this kind
and charitable move Of Mr.. Mann, who
takes such an interest in the church
and for it's good he gave this musicale.
To say who deserves the most especial
mention would be almost impossible,
but it is due Mrs. Flora Williams and
Miss Harvey to particuarize their eff
forts. They were highly appreciated
by the audience. The Philharmonic
Trio was a treat, and the encore that
followed each number showed that the
audience held them IN appreciation.
Among the singers of the masculine
members it would be hard to say who
deserved the most mention. Mr.. Mann,
whose voice always pleases the public,
was encored at each number. Mr..
Lloyd and Mr.. Gray also received much
applause.

Contrary to expectations few weeks
ago, It is not likely that the Wheeling
clergymen will carry their anti-slot
machine crusade into the grand jury
room. They have said that they con-
templated no such movement, but new
ersheless many persons have believed
that the matter would in some way
be brought to the attention of the
grand jury. Prosecuting Attorney w.
p. Meyer stated to a Register reporter
yesterday that he had not discussed
the slot machine matter with any of
the ministers.
Prosecuting Attorney Meyer was busy
yesterday in preparing his present
ments for to-days meeting of the Grim
inal Court grand jury. Following is
list:
State VS. Edward Broker and Alfred
Mayer, grand larceny.
State vs. Charles Hill, petit larceny.
State VS.. Robert Richardson, false
pretense.
State VS. BenFrazer burglary.
State VS.. Joe Driller, murder.
State VS.. Geo. Flowers, fornication.
State VS.. Bert McConnaughey. bur-

The most important cases will be
that of Joe Driller, who is to be tried
for murder, and Ben Frazier and Bert
McConnaughey, whom the police have
finally cornered SO that they have

The miners Of the Fifth district met
yesterday at Bridgeport, about all the
delegates being present, but owing to
some being absent President Smith
asked the delegates to only appoint the
credentials committee. His advice was
taken, and after appointing the commit
tee the body adjourned to meet this
morning, when 1t Is expected that all
the delegates will be present.
The men who are delegates to this
convention represent about 5000 miners
and are from the counties of Belmont,
Jefferson, Harrison. Carroll. Tuscara-
was and Guernsey. This meeting is
held just one week ahead of the State
meeting and is expected that its action
will be felt by the State meeting, as the
district holds high place in this State
and have always been found loyal sup
porters of the union, never faltering,
and always working for the best inter-
ests of the union.
The outcome Of this convention will
be scanned by every mine worker of the
State, as its weight in State convention
is fully felt The convention will get
down to business to-day and will most
probably finish up their business.
