Between one and two O'Clock this

passengers from this side of the
river, to the Ohio River Railroad
station, on the West Virginia side,
came on with some passengers, and
drove on the boat, leaving Mr.. Nc
Cafferty in the rear of it. The
driver went to back his horses a
little when the hack ran back on
tho foat King Nh MeCa fFe1ty
on his right leg above the knee,
breaking his leg and knocking him
into the river. Will Danner in
stantly seized the horses, or the
hack would have followed Mr.. Mo-

him. He was helped out by will

cab and taken to the residence of
his sister, Mrs. Capt. r. A. Hamil-

A Big crowd And a Noisy One.
The noises st, tho stormiest, the
most unruly, the most sensational
convention ever held here was the
Republican Congressional Conven-
ton Tuesday. resulting in the
nomination of James A. Hughes,
of Huntington, for Congress on the
fifth ballot. AT the start the can
didates were Congressman Freer,
James A Hughes, Harry o. Wood
yard, of Spencer, and Nj. A. Ken
dali, of Parkersburg. But when
the delegates got in Monday night
Freer saw that he VAS doomed to
defeat, and early Tuesday morning
he announced his withdrawal from
the race.
When the Wood county delege-
ton came ia Tuesday morning,
they refused to support Kendall,
SO withdrew and the convention
opened with but two candidates,
Hughes and woodward, The first
ballot stood 119 each, when the
roll call was completed, Writ coun-
ty not having voted. Several eff
forts we're made to verify the vote
but the confusion was such that it
could not be done. Ritchie coun-
'ty charged it's vote to Freer. Cab.
ell, Wayne, Lincoln and others
did the same until the confusion.
No one knew how the vote stood,
but Freer's friends claimed that he
was nominated.
A motion to take recess was
declared carried and the recess was
taken. Another roll call was then
had and the first ballot as finally
announced stood: Freer 81, Hughes
II, Kendall 1, woodward 1913. 1t
required 1875 to nominate.
Four moro ballots followed
amidst the greatest confusion and
during the fifth Freer, who had
left town and been recalled by
telegraph, appeared.
His appearance was the signal
for tremendous ovation and Writ
and Roane counties changed their
votes to Freer, starting a stampede,
which woodward checked by get
ting Roane back into line.
Then while the uproar was such
that business could scarcely be
transacted, Jackson changed to
Hughes, followed by Wood, and
Hughes was then declared the
nominee.
On motion of woodward, the
nomination was mado by acolama-
ton.
The friends of woodward claim
that he was fairly nominated on
three distinct ballots. but was
cheated out of it by Cabell's col
lusion with Ritchie county, who
changed her vote to Freer, thus re-
duoing Woodyerd's vote.
Woodyard's friends claim his de-
feat was done by disreputable
means. after Hughes was given the
privileges of the floor.
The woodward men now have
knives up their sleeves, and, if they
are to be believed, will use them.
There is no use to disguise the
fact that both woodward and Freer
were badly treated by the Conven-
ton.
Prof. Taylor q. Mcclure, of
Wayne, was nominated for Presi-
dental Eleotor for the Fourth Dis
