HOW is THIS.
Talk About Senatorial Situation
in This District.

RnmOrs of Deal-But ii is Largely
Guess Work-The Convention TO be
Held in Morgantown July 31st- So
far as Can be Seen There Is Little
Prospect for Trouble.
A staff correspondent OF the Wheel
ing Intelligencer writing from Graf
ton gives the following gossip con-
corning the senatorial fight in this
district:
Interest centers upon the contest
for the senatorial nomination In this,
the Eleventh district, composed OF the
counties OF Taylor, Monongalia, and
Marion, which In 1900 all gave Re-
publican majorities aggregating over
$500. The nominating convention
is to be held in Morgantown on July
81, and the outcome is declared in
some quarters is to be uncertain while
in others 1t is held that Swfsher for
the long term and Ira Robinson for
the short term will undoubtedly be
the nominees. tall hinges on Taylor
county. Monongalia has instructed
for Sturgiss for the long term and
Marion for Swisher, while in Taylor
the primary resulted Ia victory for
Swisher by the close margin OF SO
votes. Apparently this settles the
fight ia favor Of Swisher, but there is
a movement TO continue the fight.
Sturgiss and Robinson are declared
to have disagreed on certain matters,
and rumor has 1t that in ordet to de-
feat Robinson for the short term
nomination the Sturgiss men of Mon
ongalia county have offered Taylor
their support for the long term nom-
ination. Whether or not there is any
truth in the story 1t is being gener-
ally discussed here tonight, and the
offer is said TO have been made
through certain well known Sturgiss
men in this county. The recent post
Office fight in Grafton is said to have
a bearing owing to the failure of GER
tain people to carry out alleged prom
ises of support to Postmaster Holt,
who is the editor of the local Repub-
lican organ, the Sentinel. The con-
yention of Taylor Republicans to Sc
lect long term senatorial delegates to
Un0 Aud al
lowing Mr.. Robinson to select dele
gates for the short term. This would
mean an awful mix-up and the cooler
heads ought to get together and pre-
vent such an ugly fight within the
party. The United States senator
ship does not figure ia the contest for
the state senatorship, all the aspir-
ants, Swisher, Robinson and Sturgiss
being favorable to the reelection of
Senator Scott. The persistent claim
in Wheeling which finds frequent
expression in the evening paper there
that Swisher is favorable to Mr..
Schmulbach is not taken seriously
anywhere in the district. GIN fact. Mr..
Swisher has told people who brought
the matter to his attention that he is
not Schmulbach man.

CHANGES IN CANAL PROF OCOL
Wanted by United States, Before
Treaty Is Arranged-Submit-
ted to Colombia.

Washington, July 21.-Certain mod
ifications which the state department
desires in the protocol governing the
construction of the proposed Panama
canal before it assumes the shape OF
treaty have been transmitted by
Secretary Hay to Mr.. Concha, the
Colombian minister here. These re
.ate generally to questions of contro
end of sovereignty over the striI
of land through which the canal, il
the Panama route be finally de
termined upon, will be constructed
They are designed to bring the pro
.ocol more in harmony with the pro
visions of the Spooner amendment
and to facilitate ratification by the
senate when the instrument reaches
that body in the form of treaty.
The Colombian legation officials dc
Lot feel that the instructions they
now have are broad enough to au
thorize them to accept the modifica
hons proposed by Secretary Hay
without further consultation with the
home government Consequently the
matter has been submitted by them
TO their government for further in
structions. The aim of Minister
Concha is to have the instrument il
such shape that when 1t comes before
the two houses of congress of Colon
bia for action it will receive favor
able consideration.

From Telephone Pole.

Victor the six year old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Hugh Rich while trying to
show his athletic skill on telegraph
pole Sunday evening, fell to the
ground and bruised his head very
badly. Doctors Bush and Cox were
called. At first it was thought that
his skull was fractured but Monday
the little fellow was getting along
well and his Doctor thinks the skull
is not broken. The lad was climb
ing telegraph pole near the M. f.
church on Peasants Street He as
cended to one Of the spikes by which
the repair men climb the pole. He
was exhibiting his proves by
standing on this pole without hold
ing with his hands when he fell to
the ground.
He was picked up by friends near by
and carried to his fathers nome at
the corner of High & Peasants Street.
The bruises were on the right side of
bis head and face but the head was
badly swollen on theleft side. He is
getting along all right to-day and will
probably soonbe out to try another

RUSH OF TRAFFIC.
Coal Going East and West now I'm
Treat Rush.

More than thousand cars, loaded
with coal are now standing in the
yards about Fairmont waiting to be
moved by the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road company. The company has
more than they can handle and are
certainly making an effort to keep the
traffic moving. Never in the history
OF the road was there such rush OF
business as is now being experienced
on the main line. The rails are kept
hot with the immense trains of coal
that are being rushed over the line
east and west. In former years the
greater amount of this coal went to
the lakes at this season of the year.
Since the beginning of the strike in
Pennsylvania there came demand
for West Virginia coal for the east,
and until recently the coal has been
going that way almost exclusively.
Just now the traffic is pretty evenly
divided between the east and west
and it is being loaded on to the cars
almost too fast for the train to keep
it out OF the way.

The young woman was shot in the
left breast, and the bullet passed en-
tirely through her body. She was

WILL Be M'GRAW.
Nomination by Acclamation OF
the Gallant Young Colonel
Is Practically Assured Sentiment for
Him Strong All over the District.
His own County Instructed for Him.
No Expression From Him so Far.

There seems to be 10 doubt now
that Hon. Jno. II. McGraw will be
the unanimous choice of the Pied
mont convention for congress from
this district. The sentiment for him
has been cropping out spontaneously
OF late and unless he most perempto-
rily declines he will be called upon to
carry the democratic standard to VIC
tory In the coming election.
A telephone message this morning
failed to find him at home but 1t
brought expressions from others that
he was the strongest man in the dis
trict and that his home county was
enthusiastic for him 1t is safe to
say that the Monongalia delegation
will only be glad Of an opportunity to
vote for him.
The Taylor county convention to
elect delegates to the convention was
held on Saturday and though the Col
onel was not present the meeting in
structed for him.
The Monongalia delegates will leave
for the convention tomorrow and SO
far as they have been seen they are a
unit for McGraw.
His life is as an open book to the
people Of the district and all can unite
in giving him enthusiastic support.
-Four years ago in the face Of the most
discouraging situation he made a
most gallant fight and at this time
there is little doubt of his election.

KILLED BY TRAIN.
Saturday Night Train Strikes
an Unfortunate Man

Near H0ult and Kills Him Instantly
Train was Very Late and was Rum
ming at High Rate of Speed Train
Men Regret 1t but no Blame is At
tached to Them.
FAIRMoNT, w. Va, July 20.-Clate
Rittenhouse, whose home is near
Grafton, was killed Saturday night
by the Pittsburg train at 10:45 at
Hoult, a small settlement three miles
below this city. The train was over
an hour late and Rittenhouse, who
has been working at Aurora, was
walking along the tracks when he
was struck by the incoming train
which was travelling at high rate
of speed owing to it's being SO much
behind time. The unfortunate man
was not injured in the least about
the body but was struck in the
head, showing that he had seen the
train in time to make an effort to
throw himself from the track. In
this he was not successful and,
stumbling as ne started TO lump, was
struck fair in the face. The latter
was badly mutilated and he was in
stantly killed by the conclusion
The engineer saw the man as he
was hit and the train was stopped
The body was taken aboard and
brought to this city where an in
quest was held by Coroner Bert
Fleming. The verdict of the jury,
after all the evidence had been taken
was that the man had come to his
death by being accidentlly hit by
the Pittsburg train. After the in
quest was over the body was ordered
to the Cunningham undertaking
rooms where it is being prepared for
burial today. Rittenhouse was a
miner by trade and was 81 years of
age.
