dent this morning when a petition
was put in circulation here to have
his name placed on the ballot as a
delegate to the Baltimore conVen-
ton from the third district. DIT.
Bogardus went to New York this
morning on an early train, but his
petition was in the hands of his
friends and had over 100 names, the
required number, and still more
were signing.
This action on the part Of DR..
Bogardus means that the Smith
forces intend TO put up lively fight
in the third district. DR.. Bogardus
claims to stand for all the principles
that Woodrow Wilson stood for
when he was q candidate for COVER
nor. but the doctor claims Wilson
departed far from those principles
now.
Or. Bogardus's term as member
Of the State Board of Assessors ex-
pired few weeks ago and although
he was a candidate for reappoint-
ment he was turned down by the
governor. The doctor however, de-
nies that this is the reason he Is
opposing the governor for the nomi-
nation for president.
The factional fight in the Demo
cratic ranks in Monmouth Is now re-
newed and bitter struggle is an

Montreal, April 16:-The last
faint hope that more Of the passen-
gers and the crew of the Titanic
might have been saved went glim-
merlng today when Captain Gam
bell, of the Virginian, reported to
his agents here that his rescue trip
had been fruitless. I'VE arrived
too late to rescue any one," says

Liverpool"
This was accepted here as mean
ing that the only persons saved were
those taken from the life boats by
the Carpathia.

the safety of passengers Of the Ill
fated Titanic, which foundered ear
ly Monday morning off the Grand
Banks of New Foundland, other
than those reported by wireless
from the Carpathia as enroute to
this city, was practically abandoned

The futility Of money In the face

survivors. She importuned every
one she could reach semi-hysterical-

Register building last Saturday morning
"A new paper cutter, heavy machine
| weighing thousand pounds. had been
received. and Henry Meleester and
Silas Shipley undertook to get it into the
printing room on the second floor of the
building. They had it on skids, pulling
1t up the stairway by means of block
and tackle. Henry L. Wiutermover. our
next-door neighbor. was among those
who volunteered to help in the work.
and made himself very useful. The
machine had been pulied up tc the top
OF the stairway when something went
wrong and il started backward. II Slid
ali the way down the steps, ard before
Mr.. Wintermoyer could get out of the way
his right leg was caught and badly broken
just above the ankle. 1t was almost
miraculous that he was not crushed to
death by the heavy cutter, and Silas
Shipley also m de an extremely narrow
escape. as he was right under it when it
started downward. Mr.. Winte1nover
was carried into his clothing store
adjoining. and Drs. Banks, Burwell and
Myers were soon with him. The injury |
was a serious one. beiug a COMPOUND
fracture, but the bone was set at once
and the patient made as comfortable az
possible. -Shepherdstown Register.
