Democratic Leaders
Have a COnfab.
The Wise Men Came from the
East and Some from the West
and Some Flow Over the
cuckoo's Nest to throw
Down Bryan.

Bywhat they term "coincidencen a
number of prominent old line demo-
Gratis met at Fairmont last Friday and
presumably by chance held a long con-
ference over matters entirely political.
Those in the conference were Andrew
Edmlston, of Weston; John j. Davis,
OF Clarksburg; Q. II. Collins, Of Penns.
boro; w. E. Raymond, Of Sutton, aud
w. D. Mansfield, OF Wayne county.
Those who kecpa watchful eye on
the political game say the meeting
was one OF Importance and has to do
with the candidacy Of certain gentle
men in the congressional race Of next
year. Hon. o. S. Mckinney, of Fair
mont, was also in the meeting, but
what was done VIII he known only to
the faithful ones.
It's a forcgone conclusion, however,
that they met for the purpose Of out
lining plan to get the old Jefferson
ian democrats in the race again and
to get them interested sufficiently To
come out for offices. The keynote was
sounded last week, when MIR. McKIn.
ney assumed editorial charge of the
Index and came out for German for
president, and sounded the political
death-knell Of Bryan and hiSfollowers.
Raymond and Collins are willing to
get into the race in the new Fourth
district, while Mansfield would not de-
cline the nomination in the new Fifth.
Edmiston would not throw down the
party by declining TO enter the race in
the First, and McKinney's friends in
slst that he should be willing to sacri-
flee himself If necessary to carry the
new German banner.
II is early In the game, but these
democratic leaders are DESTROYS of get
ting the old liners in position again
and get grip on the organization as
against the followers OF Bryan.
When asked as to their meeting, each
and every one said he either came to
meet with the grand lodge Of Odd
Fellows or he WAS on important bust
ness matters-and no doubt they were
truthful. But nevertheless they kept
their movements quite secret.

Is LATE Griffin

his whereabouts, Mr.. Grimm resides
At Olive and is prominent and we'll

came 70 the city and drew about S1,-

and loan association account, in all
about o., 900, as collateral security, 1t
Is reported he sent his wife word that
he had to attend the big live stock
show In Pittsburg. He went TO Fair
mont from this place and was notseen
at Plttsburg by any one attending the
show from this place. Thursday last
he was sean in Grafton by gentleman
from this city, but has not been seen
or heard OF since. The family grew
uneasy over his absence and apparent
" mysterious actions and began an in
yestigation last Friday. At first st.
was thought he had been foully dealt
with and possibly murdered for his
money, but his friends are not now
inclined to believe this. The case is
wrapped in mystery, quite difficult to
solve, but efforts will not be spared to
unrapel it. Mr.. Grimm has vile, a
married daughter aud a son almost
grown to manhood. There was no
domestic lnreliclty that would cause
him TO abandon his family. He stands
high in the esteem OF his nelghbors
and friends, who discredlt all reports
that he has deserted his family. The
solution OF the mystery, however.
which will be only a matter Of time;
may result sensationally aud involve a
rather prominent individual or two;
who may be shown up as delaUns il
stead of human beings.
All efforts to locate MIN 80 far have
been futile.

DAMAGE SUIT DISMISSED.
thompson Not Responsible for
HinkIe's Accident Says the Squire.

The $500 damage suit OF E. A.
Hinkle against Will Thompson was
tried in Squire J. n. David's court
last Friday forenoon. The plaintiff
fell in ditch in front of MIR. Thomp-
Snn IS residence several weeks ago and
injured rib or two, The evidence
showed that the ditch was only about
six inches deep and was upon Mr.
Thompson's ground and not on the
street. There was ample space TO
pass on the sidewalk, the width being
about 4 feet, but he in his haste fell
into the ditch. The squire regarded
II from the evidence an accident Of a
character not Insufficient to hold Thomp.
son responsible for 1t and dismissed
the case at Hinkle's cost.

SaIemiteS Acquitted
Of Stealing Records
Not Enough Evidence Against Chief Of
Police to warrant more Than
slight suspicion.

Peter j. Randolph, the chief of po-
lice, Of Salem, was acquitted in Squire
j. N. David's court here last Friday
afternoon Of the charge of stealing
the mayors docket and councils re-
cords Of that town, and the warrant
against George W. F. Randolph was
dismissed without the formality OF a
trial.
Benton McMahan, who is in jail in
default Of 5000 bail, charged With
the same crime, testified that he be-
came acquainted with Randolph sew
eraI years ago, while the latter was in
the timber business in jackson coun-
ty. He ran across Randolph here last
summer aud the latter gave him work
on the sidewalks atSalem. The even
ing the books were taken Randolph
approached him in front OF the cold
storage house near the mayors otiice
and told him to go into the office and
hand some books out OF the window to
a party, who would be there 70 re-
celve them; He went in and handed
out two books to person he thought
was Colonel Hoover but he was not
positive as to who the fellow was. The
books he handed out had the appear
ance Of ledgers. Randolph told him
afterwards the books would be return
ed after the grand jury adjourned. He
saw Randolph some time after that
carrying books to the office and Ran
dolph informed him that there had
been so much stealing from the mayors
ONCE That he deemed it best to take
his own books home.
on crosS.examination MCMahan said
he did not know what kind Of books
he handed out or to whom they be-
longed. He did not know whether
they were record books or not.
J ~. Kcstrr testified that he was in
the mayors Office with a prisoner The
night the books we're taken. That he
saw some fellow come In and take the
books back into the lock-up, He aid
not see what was done with them.
The same evening lie saw Col. Hoover
and George W. f Randolph together
near the mayors oiicc.
+. ]. sEhrett testified as to the
character Of the books that were miss
ing and stated that the council rec
ord contained copies OF the chiefs
reports and that these reports showed
the chief Indebted to the town over
81, 500 August last. He vas OF the
opinion the chief owed between 500
and $500 in fines collected as shown by
the missing docket Of the mayor.
Squire David In acqultting Randolph
said the evidence was scarcely sutiici-
ent 10 show the slightest suspicion Of
the crime on Randulph'S part, and,
accordingly, dismissed the warrant.
The prosecution then announced that
George Randolph's case depended on
the evidence advanced in the other
case and the Squire dismissed the
warrant against him ton.
