New Years day rarely

And Sought to Live by RObbing
Churches-FritZ Meyer E~lectrocMt-
ed.
NEW YORK, May 21.-Fritz Meyer
was put to death in the electric chair
at Sing Sing prison at sos o'clock this
morning for the murder of Policeman
Frederick Smith in this city on the
night of October 9th, 1897.
The murderer of Policeman Smith
was the sequel to a more dastardly
crime which Meyer committed two
months earlier, and for which Smith
was about TO arrest Meyer. On August
29th, 1897, George Stelzer, the old bell
ringer of Most Holy Trinity church in
Brooklyn, was found murdered in the
church. Meyer who had but recently
served a term in prison for murderous
assault and who had been accused OF
robbing a church, was suspected of the
murder OF Stelzer. On October 9th,
Meyer was detected by a priest in an
attempt to rob the poor box in the
church of the Holy Redeemer in West
Third street, and Policemen Smith and
Conklin were called in to arrest him
when Meyer shot Smith and fled.
When Meyer was given his prelimi-
nary examination he said:
Il am an atheist. Why shouldn't l
rob the churches? The world yves
every man a living and | would as soon
Slake it out of churches as any other
way"

THE PRESIDENTS HEALTH.
Makes the Selection of a Republican
Vice Presidential Candidate .
More P~erplexing Problem.
NEW YORK. Nav 21.-The Herald

vice Pres1dent1at candidate =
More PerpIexing Problem.
NEW YORK, May 21.-The Herald
says:
Republican members of Congress
who we're in the city last night said
that the selection of a candidate for
Vice President to run with President
Mckinley was as perplexing a prob
lem as yer and that the matter had
taken on a new phase.
This is caused by the state of the
Presidents health. The information
that comes from Washington is that,
while the Presidents condition is not
alarming, it is of a character to cause
uneasineSS among his intimate friends
to whom the facts are known. Us
ually the vice presidency has been
thrown as a sop to the defeated fac
ton. This will not be the case this
year. The Vice President, it Is said,
will be nominated with equal refer
ence to his fitness for the presidency
from the Ohio standpoint, his ability
to acceptably preside over the Senate
and his strength and popularity with
the voters.
Reports that the Presidents health
was on the eve of a severe breakdown
were spread months ago., and they
were denied from Washington with
great emphasis. and the President
made it a point to show himself in
public frequently. He was seen to
possess great physical vigor, but his
appearance was that of a man who
had and was undergoing a great men
tai strain.
At recent conferences in Washing
ton it has been assumed that Gov
ernor Roosevelt was entirely out of
consideration. and his name was not
pressed. In explaining this it may be
said that there are a very large num-
Der of Republicans in and out of the
State who still believe that the gov
ernor will be drafted" at Philadel-
phia. Still at the meeting in Wash
ington other names were considered,
among them being those of Cornelius
N. Bliss, Secretary of the Navy Long,
Senator Lodge. Governor Shaw. of
Iowa; Senator Cullom, of Illinois;
Senator Walcott, of Colorado, and
General E. S. Otis, of Rochester, N.
Y.
When all was said and done it was
agreed that the candidate for Vice
President, who met all political and
other ~exigencies, had not been dis
covered.

SISTERSVILLE.

SISTERSVILLE, Wa. Va, May q.
Yesterday the steamer Urania
brought the members of the Vigilant
Athletic club, of Wheeling, to this
city for an outing. There was a
crowd of about two hundred on board,
and while they were a great improve
ment on the crowd which came down
on the same excursion last year, yet
they were not at all desirable. There
were many drunken people in the
crowd, among whom were some
women, and the police of the city had
a little trouble with several of them
in trying to keep them quiet. This
city is always glad to extend a well
come to good people when they come,
but would rather such excursions as
that of yesterday would make some
other place their stopping point.
t. Carroll Neill, assistant cashier of
the Farmers and Producers Bank,
who has been absent from the city for
several days attending to business
matters at Pittsburg and other points
north, returned to the city to-day.
Mrs. Flora Smith, a prominent
lady of New Martinsville, arrived in
the city last evening and will be the
guest of her friend, Miss Tillie Dick,
of the North End, for a short time.
Mrs. D. P. Flager, of Catherine
street, who recently had an operation
performed, is recovering rapidly and
will soon be able to be about again.
H. G. Shur, of Chicago, president
and general manager of the Henry
and Fearless Oil Companies. arrived
in the city yesterday and will remain
here for several days looking after
the interests of his companies in this
section. Mrs. Shur and their charm
ing daughter, who have been visiting
here for several weeks, will accom-
pany him home.
Miss Lucy Finn, of Akron, O., and
Miss Jennie Babcock, of Marietta, O.,
who have been the guests of Rev. and
Mrs. H. B. Bowden, of Railroad ave-
nue., for several days, have returned
home.
The street fair at New Martinsville
will open Thursday for three days.
and there will be a large attendance
from here.
Yesterday afternoon Messrs. P. E.
and John K. Donnelly, of this city,
received a telephone message from
their home at Charlotte, N. Y, stat
ing that a brother had died Sunday
morning. They left this morning to
attend the funeral.
Politics in this section of the county
is warming up, and on Saturday last
there was about a dozen of the aspir-
ants for the various Offices on the Re-
publican side in the city looking after
their fences. Tyler county is COM
handing quite a lot of attention in the
coming campaign, and there is going
to be a hotter fight here than evey be-
fore.

The Charleston Gazette says:
The friends in this city of Lieut.. Col.

against him in the following dispatch
from Knoxville, Tenn:
"A private letter received here from

Rowan made insulting remarks N
corning Roach in the presence of en-

by his daring displayed in penetrating
the heart of Cuba before the Spanish
war begun and there communicating
with General Garcia and other Cuban
officers relative to the conditions on the

ment, joining it at Savannah. Lieut..

men were willing to overlook this little
delay, as it was unavoidable on the
part of the contractor. Receiving 25
cents a day less than they were prom
Used was too much for the men so
they struck. Some have left town,
others are looking for work here. but
the majority are strolling about the
town and having a good time in gen
eral. All seem quiet and orderly.
Next Saturday the Republican pri-
maries will be held in this count
Things are quite warm already and
promise to be at a white heat before
the polls close Saturday night. The
race for the State Senate seems OF be
the liveliest, as Scott is making a
house to house anvas throughout
the county, in. person. While Mr.
George has many friends to do his
work him, though he is not afraid to
get out and show himself. To a dis
interested party George seems to have
the lead at present. Strong and Mahon
of Cross Creek district, are making a
hard fight for Sheriff. This is Ma
hans third attempt to get the nomi-
nation for sheriff, being defeated twice
before. He claimed foul, four years
ago and threatened to run independ-
emily, but was persuaded to stay out
of the race tbs supposed, by having
the nomination promised to him this
year. There are three candidates in
the field for prosecuting attorney:
Wright, Workman and Jacob. All are
hustlers and confident of winning.
Rev. J. L. Dorsie, of Hiram. Ohio.

They Will Hold Their Convention in

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May 21.-Dr. A.
B. Lawrence, of Eldorado, Kansas, is
here at the request of Charles A.
Towne, the Populist nominee for Vice
President, for the purpose of compiet-
ing arrangements for holding the ma
tional convention of the Silver Repub-
licans in this city.
Mr.. Lawrence is the national commit
teeman from Kansas, and will act IN
conjunction with Mr.. Corser, of Min
neapolis, who is the treasurer OF the
national committee.
DR.. Lawrence said:
Bryan will go through with a shout.
There is not the slightest doubt of that.
Whether Towne will be his running
mate is something that is too far
ahead for me to say positively. But
that the silver Republicans will try
to force him to take the nomination is
something that is not SO sure We
shall not threaten or in any way force
his nomination on the Democrats. But
it is my impression that they al get
no better man to run with Bryan than
Towne.
THE Kansas Silver Republicans will
hold their Kansas State convention in
Topeka July 2. Mr.. Towne has said
that he will be there, and will of cours
be the center of attraction. They will
finish the business at Topeka in time
for the entire convention to come di-
rectly here and participate in the bust
ness of the national convention.
