WHAT HANNA SAID.
President Said just what He Had
Expected Him to Say.

Expected HIM 10 say
Cleveland, June lit is just what I
expected the President would say if he
said anything at all on the subject"
was the comment of Senator Hanna to-
day when he read President McKinleys
statement in reference to third term.
81 have never exchanged one word
with the President concerning the mat
ter" he continued, land have considered
ali the talk bearing on the subject as pre-
mature. According to my judgment 1t
is too early to discuss presidential can
didates for the next term"
Asked If he was IN favor of maintaining
the precedent established by President
Washington in reference to the number
OF years, the chief executive should hold
office, Mr.. Hanna said
Il do not think the precedent set by
Washington has great deal to do with
the matter. But there Is undoubtedly
a strong sentiment among the people
against such a proposition"

Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1901-06-07


Yesterday afternoon Edward Daugh-
erty. of No. 182 ALLEY 18th, made an at
tempt to commit suicide by cutting the
arteries in his wrists, but fortunately
he did not succeed in cutting desp
enough. and the attempt was unsuccess-
full. but he lost a considerable quantity
OF blood before discovered. Immed-
lately upon finding him, medical aid was
called and the flow of blood was stop-
ped, and after he had revived some
what he was taken before Squire NJ. J.
Fitzpatrick and committed to jail on
lunacy charge to await a hearing the
latter part of the month. For the past
several days Daugherty has been acting
strangely, and on last Tuesday evening
his actions were so peculiar on Market
street that they attracted the attention
of many pedestrians, and he was follow
ed up and down the street for an hour
by Register reporter.
Daugherty was first noticed on Mar
ket street about 5 o'clock Tuesday eve
ming and he made his way to Goetzes
drug store. He had the appearance Of
man being under the influence OF
drink and having recently been in
fight He asked Mr.. Goethe to sell him
some rough-on-rats and said that the
rats were bad near his house and he
wanted to kill them. Mr.. Goethe ne
ticed his condition and refused to sell
him any of the poison. He then asked
for strychnine, and he was refused this
also. He then inquired if laudnum
would kill rats. Mr. Goethe told him
that he would sell him no poison, so he
left. Several persons overhearing The
conversation remarked that he looked
more like he wanted to poison himself
than to kill rats.
From Goetze's he went down to
Schnepf's and hung about the door for
considerable time, but could ret
muster up the courage to enter. After
time he went up to Youngs on Chap
line street, but could not muster up
courage to enter here, and so returned
to Market street. The reporter follow
ed him to another corner, where he
crossed over and after a time entered
the drug store. "A few minutes later he
emerged, holding something carefully
in his vest pocket The reporter then
entered the drug store and inquired Of
the clerk what he had purchased, and
was informed that it was strychn,ne
The name he had registered was
RILEY"
The reporter left the store and found
the man talking to companion far
ther down the street. He was still
holding his vest tightly. When he
left the man on the curb, the reporter
approached him and ascertained that
the mans name was not Riley, but
Daugherty, and that he resided in the
East End. He also stated that he had
been acting queerly for some time. 1t
lis evident that Daugherty's courage
again failed him when he came to take
the poison, and that he adopted the cut
ting of the blood veins as a better way
to commit suicide.
