General News From the Metropolis
of Belmont County.

General News From the Metropolis
of Belmont County.
Senator Frank B. Archer, who is one
of the Republican leaders in the Sen
ate, arrived home yesterday morning.
When asked in regard to the appli-
cants from this county for positions
under Governor Nash, he stated that
nothing new had developed and could
not say how the county would fare.
In regard to his bill for extending the
time of the bonds of the county bridge
fund, he said it had passed the Senate
and would meet with no opposition in
the House. In speaking of the new
game laws before the Legislature, he
stated that any of the bills would have
a clause against non-residents and 1t
would in all probability license nom
residents, requiring them to pay SIS for
the privilege of hunting for n year.
This bill is now in the hands of the
committee, and will be brought before
the House in a short time. To the
local sportsmen the nonresident clause
is very acceptable, and will prevent a
number Of West Virginia hunters from
flooding this section.
Marshal Johnston was in Steuben-
vile Saturday serving subpoenas in

The fight that occurred at the Pitts
burg Block Coal Company was caused
over a dispute of ten cents in regard
to wages. One of the parties struck
the other over the head with a chain.
This dazed the man for a moment, but
he soon recovered and knocked his
opponent over a bank, landing be-
tween two posts. The man followed
him UP and kicked him in the face
and body, knocking several of his teeth
out. Friends stopped the fight, and
both men required physicians to dress
their wounds.

never before experienced by the shoe buyers of
Wheeling. This stock comprises the finest line of
Shoes manufactured in the country--up-to-date
styles and made to fit the feet. These facts have
been substantated by the hundreds who have
purchased since the opening day of the sale, and
all testify to the greatly reduced prices of the same
stock they had formerly purchased at this store
before the assignment. Do not delay, but come
before your size is sold.

When Mr. Hardy and George reach.
ed the town hall. they found large
crowd gathering. They had some difi-
Guilty in gaining entrance. Mr.. Hardy
at once passed up to the platform,
where the chairman Of the meeting
greeted him and said he would expect
him to make some remarks during the
evening.
Robert sat down at one end Of the
platform and watched the hall ill with
people, nearly all well known to him.
There was an unusually large crowd
Of boys and young men, besides large
gathering Of his own men from the
shops, together with a great number Of
citizens and business men, q repre-
sentative audience for the place,
brought together under the influence
Of the disaster and feeling somewhat
the breaking down Of artificial social
distinctions in the presence Of the grim
leveler Death. who had come SO near to
them the last few days.
There were the usual opening exer-
clses common to such public gather
ings. Several we'll known business
men and two or three Of the ministers,
including Mr. Jones. made appropriate
addresses. The attention of the great
audience was not labored for, the Oc.
casion itself being enough to throw
over the people the spell Of subdued
quiet.
When the chairman announced that
"Mr. Robert Hardy, our well known
railroad manager. will now address
u.s." there was n movement Of curiOsl-
ty and some surprise. and many a man
leaned forward and wondered in bis
heart what the wealthy railroad man
would have to say on such an occasion.
He had never appeared as speaker
in public, and he passed generally IN
Barton for the cold. selfish, naughty
man he had always been.

1t. and prayer went out Of his heart
for his own son. that the Spirit might
touch him in his sin and bring him in
to the light Of Christ.
\ little after noon the storm cleared
up. and Robert prepared to so down to
the shops. Clara had not yet come out
of her stupor. The doctor had called
and done what he could There was
nothing in particular that Mr.. Hardy
could do In the case, so he went out

and the sun had come out clear and

walks. and the ringing Of sleigh bells
was distinct In the Office. even over the
incessant hum Of the big engine.

1t was true the company would settle

through Barton the adjustment Of
claims would not be made until much
suffering and hardship had been en-
dured.
There was common feeling on the
part of the townspeople that meet
ing for public conference would result
in much good, and there was also, as
has been the case in other large hor'
rors. a craving to relieve the strain Of
feeling by public gathering aud con.

INsINCERE, SAYS BRYAN.
The Nebraskan Denoanees the Republican
Platform and says the sAIIlItary Spirit
PrsdOminated in the Convention.

Chicago, June 25=WilIiam J..
Bryan, brOnzed like an Indian from
his two weeks outing in the woods
and among the lakes of central Wis
cOnsin, arrived at Chicago Saturday
and left for his home in Lincoln,
Neb., at night. Col Bryan said he
would remain in Lincoln for an in
definite period, and unless he changed
his present plans, would not attend
the Kansas City convention He said
that all stories to the effect that
there have been any differences be
tween himself and Chairman Jones
OF the democratic national committee
were absolutely without foundation.
Asked his opinion Of the Philadel-
phia platform, Col Bryan said:
The Philadelphia platform IS the best
evidence thus far given Of the deception
attempted by the republican party.
Taken in connection with the speeches
made at the convention IL shows that
the republican party's platform Of 1895
was deliberate fraud as far as the
promises OF international bimetalIism
were concerned; that the party's attitude
on the trust question is fnsincere and
that the party is not willing to state its
attitude on the Philippine question and
invite the judgment Of the people Moth
ing was more manifest in the conven-
ton than the military spirit and yet the
convention did not dare indorse the
course Of the president in 1888 for a
standing army Of lgs000 men

Atlanta, Ga, June 26.-A passenger
train on the Macon branch OF the
Southern railway ran into a washout
15smiles north OF McDonough, Ca,
Saturday night and was completely
wrecked. The wreck caught FIRE and
the entire train, with the exception
Of the sleeper, was destroyed. Not a
member Of the train crew escaped.
FOrty-One people In all were killed
A ciOudburst broke over that section
Of the country about six o'clock Sat
urday night and presumably shortly
after dark washed out a section Of
the track nearly 100 yards in length
Into this the swiftly moving train
plunged. The storm was stin raging
and all the car windows were closed.
The passengers, secure as they
thought and sheltered from the
weather, went to death without an in
stsnt's warning. The train, consist
ing Of a baggage car, second-class
coach, frst-class coach and a Pull
man sleeper, was knocked into
kndling wood by the fall. The wreck
caught fire a few minutes after the
fall and all the coaches were burned
except the Pullman car. Every per
son on the train, except the Occu-
pants Of the Pullman car, persisted IN
the disaster. There was no escape,
as the heavy Pullman car weighted
down the others and the few alive
IN the sleeper were unable to render
assistance to their fellow passengers.

A HUNTED MAN.
Ex-GOv. Taylor, of Kentucky, Breaking
Down Under the Strain Of Being
Followed by Detectives.

Philadelphia, June 26.-Broken IN
health and spirits, ex-Gov. William S.
Taylor, Of Kentucky, started for Mag
ara Falls last night. He was accom-
panied by Mrs. Taylor, and four detec-
tives followed closely at their heels.
Two Of the officers represent the state
Of Kentucky and bear warrants for the
arrest Of Mr.. Taylor upon charges
growing out Of the assassination Of
Gov. Goebel.
The other two we're employed by Mr..
Taylor to guard his person. His stay
in this city was devoid Of personal
pleasure. He accepted but one invita-
ton, and denied himself to everybody
who called upon him at the hotel where
he made his headquarters.
He came here to attend the reIubIi-
can national convention as a delegate
at large.
The strain is telling both on Mrs.
Taylor and Gov. Taylor. Their rooms
we're closely guarded and Mrs. Taylor
personally answered every rap upon
the door. She denied herself to all
callers, and was on the verge Of collapse
several times.
1t is understood that Taylor viii not
be surrendered to the Kentucky
authorities by Gov. Roosevelt, and that
be viii be immune from arrest until
he shall return to Indiana, where he
is now making his home, or until such
time as he shall return to Kentucky

Minneapolis, Mimi, June IL
Times special from Seattle, Wash,
says: One of the strongest rebeIliOns
which has taken place in the last
hundred years is in full swing in
Baratonga, a Pacific island under the
British rule in the South seas. Ad-
vices from the orient give full Partic-
ulars Of the progress Of the uprising

land. Through the disturbing effects
of the 1sOth degree Of longitude the
first arrivals to advance the cause Of
Christianity set the usual day, Sun

the degree of longitude mentioned,
the days jump back "a hours Since
discovering their mistake the Chris
tan leaders Of the island attempted

natives are butchering and numbering

TO MAKE PLATFORM FIRST.
Not Probable That the Democratic Nation
al Convention VIII Depart from Prec-
edsnts Set In the Past

Kansas City, Mo-, June 24.-There
viii be three conventions in session
IN Kansas City beginning July 4.
The bimetallic convention and the
free silver republican convention viii
also nominate Bryan and viii in
dOrse the choice Of the democratic
convention for the vice presidential
nomination.
1t is now believed that Charles A.
Towne, Of Minnesota, is out Of the
race and that his nomination for that
Office by the national populist con
vention at Sioux Falls is the begin
ming and ending of his ambition to
be Bryan's running mate. Those
best able to judge declare the nom
inee viii come from Indiana or New
York.
It is not probable that Bryan viii
be nominated before the platform
is adopted. The proceedings viii not
differ materially from those recorded
at Chicago in 1896.
