 At Broadway and Fulton street yester- day a blue jacket who showed signals of holiday cheer, steered an cratic course in piloting between the cars and trucks. The bowsprit of an express wagon struck the tar in the small of the back and land- ed him. seemingly hurt across the bow Of an automobile bound south. He was picked up by tall policeman before he had a chance to be killed out right, and several citizens lowed him Into a corner doorway. He was unable to talk at first, and somebody brought him a second mates nip of whisky, one of those long drinks that they sell In the liquid fuel stations near the Sands street gate, only it was of bitter quality,
 "Wot hit me?" inquired the man-of- warsman, as he smacked his lips and gazed familiarity at the empty glass in the hand of the "first-ald-t -to-the-injured' citizen.
 "The shaft of an express wagon. a troll ley car and an automobile" volunteered another citizen.

 DIGGERS OF PANAMA CANAL
Must Receive Higher Pay Than Other
 Dlggers.

Chicago. January 16-Dredging work on the Panama canal is worth more than similar work elsewhere, and must be paid for accordingly, say the delegates to the annual convention of the International Brotherhood of Steamshovelers. Dredge Engineers and CraneElcn of America, who in annual convention fixed a scale of prices for Panama and other countries This scale is to be paid invariably In gold, and is as follows:
 Engineers. Cranemen. Panama canal. per month,
 and board ..................$ $500 S200 Cuba and Mexico, per
 month, and board .......... 160 125 United States and Canada,
 per month, and board .. 125 90 The Panama scale Is $50 a month more than the present one. and that for Cuba and Mexico is s10 more. The scale for this country and Canada remains the same as 1t was. The association in ses- sion here has men employed on public works in all parts of the world. 1t is in virtual control of prices paid to labor for dredging and kindred work.
 The association adopted a resolution protesting against the government build Ing dredges and doing dredging work in direct competition to American contrac- tors
 A committee of three was appointed to present the resolution to President Roose- welt and the secretary of war and to urge congress to discontinue appropriations for dredges. The committee will also ask congress for a law to protect organ ized labor in the construction of the Panama canal.

The Pyx Chapel.

The Pyx chapel, in Westminster abbey is about to be lighted by electricity and thrown open to the public. The chapel which Is now under the control of the office of works. was at one time the de- pository of the regalia or the Scottish kings. Access to this remarkable apart ment. with it's double doors of oak, was possible only by the aid of seven keys, which were in the possession of as many officials of the exchequer. In former times the government standards and assays of gold were deposited there. and among the other contents of the place are a cu- rious stone altar and some ancient chests. in which state documents. excheauer tally sticks and other things were stored. The woodwork of the inner door was formerly covered with human skin, warning no doubt to the criminal classes.

AFTERyDINNER STORIES

| From the New York Mail and Express
 Whatever may be said of Charles M Schwab there is one young man in this town who thinks MT. schwab is not only liberal man, but very careless with his money.
 The young man referred to was sent by the concern by which he was employed to solicit subscription from MT. Schwab. The object was & charitable and worthy one He found MT. Schwab at meeting of the Civic Federation. and in a few words stated his mission. Before the young man had ceased talk Ing Mir Schwab turned and opened a con versation with another member of the federation. At the same time he fumbled in his pockets as one would when feeling about for small change. The young man was somewhat discouraged at these signs. as he had hoped to receive a good-sized contribution.
 MT. Schwah drew out bill and handed 1t over to the one waiting for 1t. Then, he scratched around and extracted an- other bill, which went the same way All the time MT. Schwab kept up the conver- sation with his friend and apparently paid no attention to what he was doing.
 The solicitor thrust the bills in his pock- et muttered his thanks and withdrew. When In the corridor curiosity prompted him to look at the bills. He had s15o0 in his hand.

Death of Clarence Tucker.

On last Thursday, the commun-
ity of Logan was shocked to hear
of the sudden death of one of it's
most promising young men Mr..
Clarence Tucker. Mr.. Tue k r
was night brakeman in the Log
an yards, and while attending to
his duties on last Thursday eve
ming he was caught between two
cars and his life instantly crushed
out.
Mr.. Tucker was a young man
being but twenty six years old,
but one who gained for himself a
host of friends wherever he went
He was born near Haydenville and
his early life was spent in the
place of his birth. He was the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Dallas Tuck
er, who still reside at the home
place in Haydenville.
About two year ago, Mr.. Tucker
went to Columbus, where he re-
lnained but short time, return
ing to accept position as clerk
at the Depot Hotel. On May 90
one year ago, he was married to
Miss Emma Hartman of Logan,
and to them was born one child,
boy, now about ten weeks old.
Mr.. Tucker was forced to give up
position in Fultonham on acc
cunt of the health of his wife,
and had just commenced work in
the Logan yards when he met his
death.
The funeral services were held
at the house on Sunday morning
at nine o'clock, and was one of
the largest ever in Logan. The
Knights of Pythias had charge of
the services, Rev. T. B. White be-
ing the minister. The railroad
employees, Patriotic Sons Of
America, knights of Pythias and
Rathbone Sisters all attended in
body to pay their respects to one
of their most faithful members.

Rev. j. T. Bridwell of Vinton and
R. M. Small of Perry. Only one
ballot was necessary, the vote
standing 100 for Bridwell and SO
for Small.
Music was furnished by the
Corning band and the West Side
band of Lancaster.
The New Lexington people ex-
tended every courtesy.
The resolutions were brief, but
, expressive, and endorsed one of
Ohio's greatest sons for president.
They are as follows.
1--WE, the Democrats of the Ele-
venth Congressional District of
Ohio, in convention assembled, de-
clare our faith in Democratic
principles, and pledge loyal sup
port to the candidate to be chosen
at the Democratic national con-
vention to be held at Saint Louis.
Having absolute faith and
taking just pride in Ohio's fore
most and universally honered citi-
zen, Hon. James Kilbourne, and
testifying to his uns W e r v i n e
Democracy and exalted public and
private character, we hereby en-
dorse him for the high Office of
President of the United States,
and heartily recommend his cand-
ldacy to the delegates to the
Democratic national convention at
Saint Louis, this day chosen"

WE carefully looked over the
names of the "big four" of the
Ohio Republican convention, for
the seance at Chicago. Mr.. Her
rick, Governor of Ohio, and chief
street railway franchise grabber
and liquor sponsor, was first on
the list. Then came Major Dick,
the man of check-book fame that
bought Hanna's way into the Sen
ate. The next is that famous or
ator that said, "sic-'em boys" to
his friends at memorable state
convention when they needed him
most, and then walked the other
eye and threw them down. And
last but not least in avoirdupois
and in crime, comes that notorious
thud and dive keeper of Cincinnati
George B. Cox. Surely our
friends, the enemy, could certain
ly have found decent man at
least to have sent to the national
convention. The picture of George
b. Cox, as one cf the Republican
party's "big four" of Ohio, was
certainly sumner. Where are
the good men of the party2 If
this is the best material, heaven
help them. The party of Garfield
and Mckinley in Ohio, is now the
party of Cox.

The compliments that Judge
Wright has received in newspaper s
all over Ohio, urging him to be a
candidate for congress against
General Grosvenor, were certainly
gratifying. Judge Wright is one
of the most popular and one of the
abliest jurists in Ohio, and is a
power in his party and among the
people. He will be candidate
for Common Pleas Judge in this
"jerrymander" district, n d
though the odds may be against
him, he will bear down the major
ity and win glorious victory.

now we do hope that work will &C

The Hooking and Vinton delega-
tions went to Lancaster on the
regular train Wednesday morning.
The Ross delegation went over
from Circleville on special
Muskingum Valley train at nine
O'Clock, that had been arranged
for by the Fairfield Democrats.
A large number of enthusiastic
Democrats who were not delegates
Joined the delegation and went to
the convention city on the special
train.
Arriving in New Lexington, the
combined delegations, two hund-
red strong, headed by the hust-
ling West Side band, with Drum
Major G. G. Callahan in the lead,
marched over the hills into the
heart of the picturesque little city
and disbanded at the court house.
The meeting was called to order
by Hon. Virgil Lowry, chairman
of the congressional committee,
who announced the following tenn
porary organization: chairman,
Judge o. W. Fl. Wright of Hook
ing; secretary, M. H. Jenkison Of
Meigs; sergeant at arms, F. c..
Secrest Of Ross. The temporary
organization was afterward made
permanent.
Judge Wright made one of his
splendid addresses. and pleaded
for the restoration of the old
time Democracy,
The first business was the selec-
tion of delegates to the national
convention. Judge Reeves nom
mated Hon. M. A. Daugherty of
Lancaster, F. G. Secrest nomin-
ated Mayor w. D. Yaple of Chilli
cothe, and G. E. Peoples of Meigs
nominated Editor G. V. Harris of
Athens. just then an unusuaT
proceeding occurred, and the con-
vention by it's action paid an elo-
quent tribute to the ability of the
greatest Democrat in the district.
Instead of balloting at once, on
motion of Virgil Lowry, the rules
were suspended and Daugherty
was elected by acclamation,
supplemented by rousing cheers.
Mr.. Daugherty then made one of
his characteristic, ringin
speeches, and expounded Demo-
cratic doctrine with the mien of
true and earnest follower of the
immortal Jefferson. He vigorous
ly denounced the accidental and
spectacular occupant of the White
House, and quoted from the malic-
ious writings of Roosevelt con-
cerning the great Democratic
presidents.
The first ballot on the other
two candidates for national dele
gate resulted in 1O8 votes for
Mayor Yaple and IA for Harris.
Lewis Horwitz of Meigs county, |
and Hugh GormIey of Athens
county, were named as alternates.

The enthusiasm of Hooking
county democrats is manifest in
the crowd of twenty or more at
tending the congressional conven-
tion at New Lexington last week.
Judge Wright was chairman of the
convention and made a masterful
keynote address. Every demo-
crat is awake to his duty this fall
and will swing old Hooking per-
manently into the democratic col
umn. Rev. Brldwell, of Vinton
county, was the nominee of the
Congressional convention. He is
strong man, powerful speaker
and will make Grosvenor know
that he has fight on his hands.
