He saw a dead man lying on the rocks at

cotiating clever horse trade with
George r. Wiley. liveryman at Essex

trade horses.

by Sheriff Allen. Mr.. Wiley did not sus-
pect that anything was wrong from the
manner in which Wheeler, alias O'Neil
talked. and a deal was made whereby Mr.
Wiley traded horse he had for the one

that time Representative Carter
Glass of Virginia came along and the
correspondent told him about it.
'sWell," said Mr.. Glass, "I am in faV-
! or of it if you amend it by specify
ing that Zach McGhee and Bob Gates
be picked out and shot, leaving the
! rest" Bob Gates is the man who
overheard the fellow in the gallery
say that Carter Glass was the smart
est man in the house-never made a
speech but was ''just smart" and I
was the man who wrote it up.
In few minutes Aiken was up in
the press room, where he read the
bulletin board, and laughed. Wrong
man." he gid. Fellow who wrote
that has already been half shot,"
+ The correspondent was soon found
and admitted that he had made a
mistake in the man.
Mr.. Aiken has a large numDer Of
personal friends in the press gallery,
not as some have, for advertising
purposes, for he is no personal ad-
vertiser, but real friends in those re-
1ations Of life outside of the strictly
professional. and those who knew
him took the story as joke from the
beginning, though some took it Sc
riously, which caused the CORE
spondent who made the mistake to
be grfeYed and to start out on an ex-
ptaining> :expeditinn. It develops
that Mr.. Aiken all his life has been
taking and reading more newspapers
than perhaps any other member Of
the house, which accounts for his
: being a well-posted man, as well az
his affiliations with newspaper men.
1t all came about by his having a
double in the house, as some Of tho
other members have, and about
which will tell another day.

Specifies Victims.

Representative Wyatt Aiken does
not believe that all the members OF
the press gallery ought to be taken
out and shot; it was one OF his sew
eral doubles in the house, says the
Washington correspondent of the Co.
lumbia State. One day last week
two press correspondents sitting IN
the members gallery overheard a man
sitting Immediately behind them say
to a lady that the press gallery had
no real part in the affairs OF con-
sress and it should be abolished, ad-
ding, as a gentle suggestion OF a
practical means of bringing about
the desired end, that all the corre-
spondents in tAe gallery should be
taken out and calmly, but firmly
shot. Now the two correspondents
had two ladies with them who look
ed askance at their companions, sur
< prised and mortified that they should

correst pdents of the other.

They excused themselves from the
ladies and went into the press gal
lery to take a look over the floor OF
the house. 5
.aThere he is, there he is," said one
excitedly. I3-*f33
whats his name?" asked the 9th
er, grabbing paper and pencil.
That's Aiken of South Carolina.
He's the man." And they proceeded
to give the alarm to their compan-
ions,
Yesterday a clipping was pasted
I'D on the bulletin board OF, the
house press room representing Mr..
Aiken as having these dangerous de-
signs upon the correspondents, and
applications for the job Of doing the
shooting began to pour in.
Late in the afternoon a CORE
spondent, standing discreetly near
one of the granite pillars in the 1oo-
by, so as to be able to get to cover
ut the first hostile demonstration
from the locality of the hip pocket,
asked Mr.. Aiken for further details
of his plans, with respect to dis
na+cbing the correspondents. About

j. A. Minnear & Co, say today:
The bulk of today's trading was done
at slight price concessions. London
sent over lower range of quotations
and was inclined to haTd out stocks
on all rallies. The Eastern markets
were also giving evidence of profit
taking up to the close, although the
buying all day was of a substantial
nature. 1t is apparent that the large
interests i'm the market are not going
to permit any serious declines. In the
Boston list, Isle Royale was a conspic-
uous figure opening two points higher
than yesterdays close. The advance
was due To the developments on the
Baltic lode. North Butte was also in
good demand. Quincy directors cut
the quarterly dividend to s1.25 but this
had little effect on the market. Curb
trading showed but little change in
prices for the day The Lake group
furnished the usual amount of trading.
and at slightly lower prices. Expect
traders market for the next few
days.
