The corporations that are making
such fierce fight for Teter know
what they are doing, The taxation
question means much to them and
they will have their man nominated
by hook or crook if such a thing is
possible. But the question is, will
the people allow the corporations to

were exchanged. Mcfarland fell
first, buteouuuued firing. At Mac.

Such exciting times politically have
never before been witnessed in the

ended in d riot, and SIX men have been
killed in the fifth congressional dis

Another Political Tragedy.

Another frightful tragedy, the d.
rect result of the fierce fight that is
being waged by the Republicans
against each other in West Virginia.
occurred last week at North Fork, in
Mcdowell county. At the door of
the hall in which the Republican con-
vention was held duel occurred be-
tween J. A. Ballard, a wealthy mer-
chant, and John Mcfarland, chief Of
police. Both were killed.
The tragedy resulted from the Bit
ter fight between the rival adherents
of W. NJ. o. Dawson and Charles F.
Teter, aspirants for the Republican
gubernatorial nomination. Ballard
was the leader of the Teter men in
that section and mcfarland led the
Dawson forces. Much bitterness was
manifested in the proceedings leading
up to and during the convention.
which met to appoint delegates to the
county convention to be held at Welch
to select delegates to the State nomi-
mating convention in Wheeling. All
the other districts in the county had
held conventions, and it was known
that the result of the North Fork
convention would decide. the vote Of
the county in choosing between Daw-
son and Teter. Both sides made des-
perate efforts to win the North Fork
convention, and the result was a split

the way he spends it. By the great

Peter Lambert. Jr., who has been
missing from his home in this city for
some time past, has been heard from.
Peter dropped out Of existence, one
night, about two weeks ago, and had
he taken IA trip to the moon. he could
not have kept his wherea bouts more of
secret. But as he had on one or
two former occasions left home the
same way. not much anxiety was felt
for his safety. 1t was thought by his
parents that perhaps he was in Rich
mond but Tuesday night his father,
Peter Lambert. received Il letter from
Montreal, stating that the boy was
there. On the night that the youngstcr
disappeared, it was not thought that
he had any money. and unless he sue
cecded in raising some. how he mani
aged to reach Montreal is somewhat of
a mystery.

A letter WAS received ut the journal
office, yesterday, which attracted som"
attention from the fact that it bore a
Canadian postake stamp. This fact IN
itself was not so much out of the ordl-
nary. but the postmark showed that
the letter had been mailed in Lynn,
Mass 1t has been but few years
since letter postage in Canada WAS
three cents but it is now the same as
ours. and the color Of the stamp is
very similar to ours. This is prob
ably the reason that the irregularity
escaped the vigilance Of the postal
clerks. The main distinction between
the Two stamps is that one bears the
picture of George Washington, and the
other that of King Edward, and as
the stamp was affixed to the letter
wrong side up. it would easily escape
notice in TIE rapid handling of the
mails in large office.
