REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

On the eighteenth day of June the
Republicans of Washington county
will meet in delegate convention in
the city of Marietta for the purpose Of
nominating a county ticket and the
naming of state delegates, At the
Central Committee meeting held Fri
day afternoon the sentiment for a con-
vention in June rather than at later
date was clearly shown by vote of
% to 6. The country members of the
committee, as we'll as those of the city
of Marietta, favored the idea, and the
date as above stated was decided upon
with but very little opposition. 1t ap-
pears to the Leader that this action of
the committee is very wise, inasmuch
as it meets with almost universal ap-
proval both in the townships through
out the county ana IN Lhe several
wards of the city of Marietta. We
congratulate the members of the COM
mittee on the wisdom of their choice.
The delegates to the convention will
be chosen in the several voting pre-
cincts of the county on Saturday,
June 15th-in the country from to 6,
and in the city from to 7 o'clock.
In addition to arranging for the
county convention, the committee Sc
Iected delegates to the Judicial and
Senatorial conventions, and the lists
appear elsewhere in this paper.

JOSHUA ARMSTRONG
Takes His Own Life by Cutting His
Throat

The effects of steel, poison, fire arms
and the other mediums, which, when
used Intentionally, will bring about a
cessation of heart throbs and sus-
pension of life have been fully demon
strated within the past eight months.
The first victim of the three suicides
which superstition declares must oc-
cur in a community when once a be-
on Harmar street. Two men, shortly
before eleven o'clock, had occasion tc
enter a barn situated on the rear end
of the lot to get some article necessary
for their work. Lying in pool Of
blood on a pile of hay which was sat
urated with the red fluid, they found
the body of Joshua Armstrong, cold
and still in death.
The Coroner was summoned and an
official investigation of the ciTcum-
stances OF the tragedy and the en-
vironment was made. The body was
lying upon one side. The neck con-
tanned three gashes, which had been
inflicted by pocket knife found atsThe
mans side. On the right side of the
throat wound about two inches long
had severed the right jugulaH vein;
on the left side cut longer, but snpt
so deep, started under thes china sisi
extended down towards the base ofStlfe
neck. A small fncision below the
two former wounds and in the center
of the throat. was probably the last
act of violence which Ihe~man' COM
mitted upon himself.
The dead man was a carpenter by
trade and up to the time Of his death
had been working at Lobdell's factory.
In six days time he would have COM
pleted his 59th year. - ,,I.a..
Coroner AcClure's verdict gave sui
eide as the cause of the death.

GRAND JURY TRUE BILL.
LEAKS" AMONG THE FIFTEEN
GOOD MEN.
Walter G. Smith is Indicted for Per
jury and Released on $4,000 Bail--In-
dictment Found on Saturday

The grand jury's first shot was fired
yesterday and it proved to oe aimed at
Walter G. Smith, editor of the Advert
ser. The editor had fired many shots
at the jury, and it seemed Dut natural
that the fifteen good and true men
should come back at him, and come
back they did.
The first return of the present grand
jury's indictments was the true bill
against Smith charging him with per-
jury in his testimony before the jury re-
garding legislative bribery matters. The
indictment was found last Saturday and
had been reported lbJut town. There
are leaks" in the Jury and a number
of people knew that Smith was TO be
arrested.
Smith appeared in court yesterday at
ternoon and was released on $1,000 bail,
which was put up by l.. A. Thurscon.
The indictment has to do with testi-
mony regarding a corporation said to
have been asked for brides, of which
corporation Smith sworc he did not
know the name whereas the grand Jury
believed that he did. Smith is to be
arraigned tomorrow in Judge Humph-
reyS' court.
On the streets the indictment was a
subject of very general comment and
bets were a hundrGG 20 one on Smith
Politics" was the word oftenest used
in comment upon the case, and Smith
is not thought to be in need of condo
lenCes. His friends were "swelled up"
on the subject of bail. A certain edi-
torial assault to murder case brought
forth an order fixing the price of tenn
porary editorial liberty at $500, but in
this perjury case it was $1,000.
This morning the Advertiser publish
ed the following editorial about the
matter:
The CHARGE AGAINST MR.. Smith.
The editor of this paper Mr.. Walter
G.. Smith, has been indicted by the
Grand Jury for perjury.
THE gist of the charge is as fol-
lows:
That on May &c. 1901, Walter G.
Smith did wilfully, knowingly falsely
and corruptly state under oath verbally,
that he did not know the name of the
corporation that had been approached
by certain members of the Legislature
of the Territory of Hawaii to put UP a
certain amount of money to pass a GER
tain bill through the said Legislature,
whereas, in truth and in fact, he then
and there well knew the name of the
corporation aforesaid.
Pending the trial of this charge, this
paper will not discuss its merits. 1t
is due to Mr.. Smith and his friends,
however, to say that he denies the
truth of the charge, absolutely.

GOT A STRANGE CARGO.
The Schooner Phelps at Galapagos
Island.

Island
queer cargo of huge tortoises crawl
| ing iguanas, stuffed birds of many
skins was brought to San Francisco by
| the schooner W. S. Phelps, which re-
turned there after an absence of over
| a year. The whole twelVemonth ex-
cept the time spent in going and re-
! turning, has been passed by the Phelps
in the bays and inlets of the Galapagos
Islands, on the equator 700 miles off the
coast of Ecuador and strange sights
were, witnessed by Captain w. p. Moves
and his crew of eight men.
The schooner brings twenty-seven
live tortoises and the shells of two
otners, live land fguana, the stuffed
hide of a great iguana of the marine
species, over four feet in length, 525
stuffed birds, large and small, 146O
skins of the hair seal and 208 fur seal
skins. The birds were stuffed on the
islands by Guy Green, a taxidermist,
who made the trip on the Phelps. The
entire cargo is owned by Captain Will
liam Johnson, owner of the schooner,
who Will dispose of the animals, alive
and stuffed to sundry museums in the
East and Europe. He has been at Ga
lapagos himself in times past, and con-
siders that the present cargo is valua-
pie one, The largest tortoise weights
525 pounds, is six feet in length by
nearly four feet in breadth, and is look
ed upon as probably 1000 years old.
The great tortoise was captured on
Albemarle island, in the Galapagos
group, and nineteen men were occupied
| five days in carrying the monster from
the barren hills, where he was found,
to the seashore. He was swung on poles
the ends of which rested upon the mems
shoulders. Natives of Ecuador assisted
in the work. Tortoises are not plenti-
full in the Galapagos, but scarcer still
are the iguanas. Wild dogs, have be-
come numerous in the Islands during
the last few years, subsisting princi-
pally upon tortoise eggs and cattle,
which stray from the small herds own
| ed by EcuadOrans. On Duncan island
the men of the Phelps searched in the
| craters of extinct volcanoes for the
| iguanas and tortoise, but were not al
| ways successful in the search. The
| land iguanas were exceedingly hard to
find. They are distinguished from the
| marine species by a lighter color and
the fact that they do not frequent the
rocks and beaches.
Captain Noyes reports that the vol
cano on Albemarle island was smoking
during the visit. The volcano on James
island has been burning for years. At
Bankas bay he saw a volcano at the
edge of the sea, eruptions being fire.
quent but not violent, and the water
| alongside of the Phelps, 200 yards dis
tint from the boiling volcano was scald-
ing hot Fish in great numbers had
been killed by the upheaval of fire, and
myriad of birds found subsistence up
| on the surface of the water. Uncanny
| as the islands were in many respects,
both Captain Noyes and the mate of
the Phelps, III. Kinley speak in praise
of the climate of the Galapagos, which,
although upon the equator, are wash
ed by an Antarctic current that pre-
serves a genial air, and no severe
storms ruffied the waters while the
Phelps was in the archipelago.
