Preferred Carnival to Husband.

MOUNDSVILLE, May 24.-So far
there has been no reconciliation be-
tween the young married couple Of
Fourth street who separated as the
result of the too frequent visits of the
wife to the carnival. The husband up
braided his wife for her actions, and
an alteration ensued, which ended in
the woman receiving a sound thrash
ing after which she went to live with
her parents. AS she failed TO return
after a week had lapsed, the husband
sold all the household goods, locked
up the house, and returned the keys to
the owner. The following day the wife
returned to beg forgiveness OF her
husband, but found her late home
dark and deserted. She had repented
TOO late. The husband afflrms that
he will never live with her again.

WHEELING. w. Va, May 24.-In
the wake of the big Barnum &. Bailey
show came the attachment suits. BY
the way the ticket sellers were taking
in the coin on Saturday one would
have thought they could have paid all
their bills with plenty OF profit left
over, but two suits were entered in
Squire NIuegge's court against them.
Action was only taken in one because
the other was entered so late that the
circus people We're out Of the State
before papers could be served upon
them. Edward L. Wheeler was award
ed SIS damages. He claimed that he
had been promised S. in cash and
six so cent tickets for allowing the
circus advertisers to place posters
and Autographs upon his place of bus
mess.
John NJ. Dauer, the proprietor OF
/ Market street store, was the other
| TO enter suit. Mr.. Dauer claimed that
he had been promised eight tickets
| for the show He went TO the grounds
in the afternoon and secured his tick
cts All were for the afternoon per-
! formance He used six OF them. He
took the other two and again went to
! the show in the evening, but was re-
| fused admission as the tickets were
not marked "evening performance.
He placed the matter in the 'squires
| hands, but it was too late and rather
{ than get the constable out of bed and
risk having their trouble for their
pains the matter was dropped.

SOME PROFESS TO FEAR THAT
THERE MAY BE SOME TROUBLE
EVENTUALLY

WHEELING, w. Va, May 24.-To-
day at noon the steel workers scale
between the men of the steel depart
ment of the Riverside mill of the Ma
tional Tube Company at Benwood and
the management expires. Thirty days
ago a committee of the men notified
the management that they desired the
old scale minus ten per cent to gn
into effect at the expiration of the
thirty days.
1t will be remembered that a new
scale went into effect at the mill
several months ago. It was a much
lower scale than had been IN effect
and some of the men received a cut
in wages of as much as forty per
cent.
Expect An Answer.
Whether or not the management
will comply with the request of the
men for an increase remains to be
seen. The men anticipate receiving
word to-day from the management as
to whether or not the proposition OF
the men will be accepted. If there is
no answer received all the steelmen
Will quit work at noon lo-IIolio" d'l

In case Of a refusal Of the man

cause a shutdown OF the plate and

claim that in case their request is

TI.lNly DOOMED
FOR QUAY'S SEAT
REFUSES TO DIS
cIgss STORY THAT HE WANTS
35Ss ToHRE UNITED STATES
SENAToRSAiD TO BE
LoGlCALs MAN.

Pittsburg, May 24.--A boom has
been started for former State Senator
William Flynn as a successor to Uni
ted States Senator Matthew Stanley
Quay III case Of the Iatter's retire
ament from the Senate. The boom is
not started with much foundation, and
Senator lynn refuses to discuss
sit III any shape The boomers argue
4Sfhatif Senator Quay retires his sue
scessor will naturally come from Ale
gheny county, and who, they ask, is
better fitted for the place than Mr.
Flynn
d No doubt Senator Flynn would be
willing corrective the Senatorial toga,
sifsitswere thrust upon him; in fact he
wouId8probab1y be willing to do con-
siderable work to step into the shoes
OF Old ian Quay. Senator Qnay's
death Is sa source Of great concern to
his $friends, and in spite of reports to
the contrary. it is feared that he will
not be able physically to accept re-
Selacfion to the Senate next winter
TIL understood that Senator Quay
VIII be elected to succeed himself If he
lis able to take up his duties. Still, in
the event Of his retirement, a sue
;cessor must be selected beforehand
\ and the way paved for his election.
George u Oliver, Francis L.. Robbins
and ii. c. Frick have all been men
#tioneds for Senatorial honors at diff
ferent times: However, it is argued
that Senator Boies Penrose will have
sssa great deal to say about Senator
Quay's successor, and the well-known
friendship and close allegiance be-
tween Senator Penrose and Mr.. Flynn
makes the latter seem a stronger man
4 than either&of the other three.
John r. Elkin, of Indiana, nominee
for justice of the Supreme Court, is
believed BY many people to be logi-
cal candidate to succeed Senator Quay,
\ but, il is said, Mr.. Elkins friends
think that he would be foolish to fore
goHto the Supreme Court to plunge into
#anFuncertain fl ght for the Senatorship,
4 and will probably SO advise him.
The#b boom for Mr.. Flynn was started
very discreetly. It does not announce
L his candidacy, but merely endeavors
to point to him by some of his friends.
SHoweyer, he refuses to discuss the
matter al all. saying that this is not
the proper time to talk about such
\ things.

A most disastrous Fourth of July mis-

William Goldsboro of New Haven is
held on the charge of mansaughter.
Goldsboro emptied the contents of one
barrel OF a shotgun into the breast Of
his friend. Albert Ten Eyck. Both are
colored and were watching ball
game. Goldsboro asked another spec
tator II he could borrow his gun for a
moment, and 1t is claimed that he was
told the shells were not blanks, but
were loaded. This GOldsboro said he
knew, but after taking the gun he
went directly over to where Ten Eyck
was standing, aimed it at him and
fired. Ten Eyck died soon afterward,
the entire charge entering his body be

gave himself up and is now held on

are in charge of the political affairs of
the New York candidate

perfect the pre- gramme which would
prolong the balloting ana afford an ep-
portunity to name another candidate.
but apparently they have not succeed
ed
Many combinations have been sug-
gested, but so far they seem to have
proved Incapable of being assembled
into a shape sufficiently substantial to
show the Independent and uninstruct-
ed delegates how another candidate
can be named.
Men who are supposed to hold the
balance of power have asked the Par
ker opponents to say what would be
done after Parker had been put out of
the race, but they have received no
satisfactory answer.
German, Gray and Cleveland have
been suggested, but no one is prepared
to give assurances that either could
receive the nomination. The mention
of Cleveland has tendency in many
quarters to evoke enthusiasm.
At an informal meeting of the Mis-
souri, delegates 1t was decided that
Senator Cockrell should be placed in
nomination before the convention, the
nominating speech to be made by Hon.
Champ Clark.
The Iowa delegation is instructed
for Hearst, but favors Mcclellan as
second choice.
The Cockrell men claim that in add
ton to Missouri their candidate will
secure the Indian Territory vote and
also half of the Nebraska vote.
The demand for tickets to the con
vention is unprecedented.
