and was called TO order by the election
Of Major II. L Grant as chairman The
major made quite a lengthy speech
then introduced some resolutions de-
nouncing the watts bill as unfair be-
cause 1t did not give the people in the
country the same privilege Of voting
on the whiskey question as 1t did the
town people. The resolution caused a
tilt between the major and e~x-Judge
w. s. OBJ. Robinson. At one time the
scene was rather exciting, but before
the convention closed the differences
seemed 10 be smoothed over. The Judge,
who is sincere On all questions. did not
wish TO appear in the attitude of an
anti prohibitionist when he had cam
vasSed the city as a prohibitiontst.
There was some lively discussion be-
tween the major and the judge. There
was a movement on foot 10 put u an
Independent ticket. but Major Grant
in his resolution insisted that the can
didates should endorse Roosevelt and
the Republican administration and this
put an end TO any possible chance 10
nominate an independent ticket. The
Republican nominee for governor and
/ Hon.. Thos. Settle arrived in the city
this afternoon and addressed the large
audience of Republicans at some length.

Stops which he had secured for his hogs
at a distillery at Fremont. The Stops
were hot andsh been loaded in barrels
in a cart While on his way home Wal

barrels OF Stops in a boiling condition
We're turned upon him.. In endeavoring
to take off his clothing the skin on his
body came off like the pealing on a
cooked potato. His condition was very
critical and it is not known now that
| he will recover.

LEGLESS MAN ON A SKATE.
Delton Visited the Lung Tester and II
Was All Of.

Magistrate Tighe learned to his as
constituent in the Adams street court,
Brooklyn, yesterday that it was pos
sible for a legless man to go on a
skate. The fact was performed by n
William Delton, who some years ago
lost both of his legs and one of his
arms in a railroad accident. Deltor
lives somewhere along the water
front. He has equipped himself with
a wooden arm in place Of a lost MEM
Der, and steadies himself with this as
he stumps along.
Delton on Friday night managed to
accumulate a large and e~ffervescent
jag" After toying with the celebrat-
ed third rail- which is offered for
consumption in the liquid power houses
along lower Fulton street. Deltol
found that the Insulation of his throa.
was wearing through in spots. He then
stumped around to a place in Furman
street to finish matters.
The Furman street place is konwn in
lodging house circles as the Lung
Tester" 1t obtains this name from
the methods employed there in serving
the thirsty. There is a barrel in the
place labelled ''whiskey" and contain
ing a solution Of n part carbouic
acid and w parts shellac. From a
bunghole in this barrel there runs a
bit Of hose with a ~mouthpiece at one
end of it. To get a drink a customer
deposits 5 cents on the bar, which the
bartender tests by applying a little
whiskey to it. If the coin doesn't Ie-
solve the customer is allowed to put
the end of the hose in his mouth. He
takes a long breath and when the bar
tender counts lone, two. three." and
says Col" begins to draw the whis-
key through the tube. When he stops
for breath the keeper quickly shuts
off tie flow and the drink is had.
Delton tested his lungs for some time
and then stumped back to Fulton
street. There he backed UP agains.

ly to lick anybody along the water
front. He was negotiating an unlimit-
ed round bout with a deckhand who
had also been testing his lungs when
a policeman came along INC took him
to the Fulton street station. When he
was arraigned in court Magistrats
Tighe suspended sentence. The legless
man stumped out, and, going into ar

wheeling. w. Va. october Is.-David
Il. Hill Injected n new argument into
he Democratic campaign here tonight
"a straight forward condemnation OF
government by Injunction and the
demand for a law granting a jury trial
TO persons held in contempt OF court,
for the violation of 4 restraining order
OF a federal judge. The Democratic
national platform sustains his position.
although in guarded terms. Mr.. Hill
recited the history of the use OF the
injunction in labor disputes and the diff
ficulty OF finding an adequate remedy.
He told of introducing and securing
the passage OF a bill through the Sen
ate in 1895 to his end: he then recited
the Republican opposition In the House
Of Representatives since that time
which was the ground for making the
question a party issue TO be called TO
the front at his time. He declared that
a man had the right TO quit work when
and where he pleased. The position OF
the Democratic party upon this subject
is right" he concluded. "a Democratic
national victory will mean the enact
ment of the measure mentioned and
government by injunction as he X
planned will no longer exist"
Wheeling's reception to Mr.. Henry G..
Davis and his party OF campaigners
made il necessary TO hold two meetings
tonight, both OF which were addressed
by Mr.. Davis, Mr.. Hill, Senators Bailey
and Danie and Ex-Governor Whyte-
Mr.. Davis is sanguine tonight OF the
aid of West Virginia corporate interests
in his crusade against the Republican
state tax law. This law requires from
corporations d statement of property
made under oath. with a penalty attach
ed for perjury. all of which Is declared
very distasteful to the corporations.
Mr.. Davis was assured today by rep
resentatives Of coal. the oil and certain
railroad interests that this was the
case and that he might count ON their
support.
