Friday, July KM. Denocralic Tor Ike ftecoad It ordered by the Democratic Executive Committee of the Second Coin gresslonal District of West Virginia, that a Convention be held at Keyser, Mineral county, on the 25th day of August, 1886, at 11 o'clock a. to nomi. nate the candid ite of said party for Representative in the Fiftieth Congress of the United States from said District. The Executive Committees of the several counties of the district are requested to take the proper steps for the appointment of delegates to attend said Convention; and it is recommended that each county appoint not more than one delegate for each one hundred Democratic voters in the county, and one for any fraction of one hundred over fifty.

By Order of the Committee. C. W. DA I LEY, Chairman. W.

S. lhYMVKD, Secretary. Tub Wheeling Register hm appeared iu a bran new dress, and looks as pretty as sweet sixteen. We wish our cou' temporary continued success in all things. Wk hope that the various candidates will not be backward about coming forward and placing their cards iu the Register.

Our columns are yearning for them. Gko. W. CHiLDS.of the Philndelphia Ledger positively declines to become a candidate for the Presidency. Well, rather than see the office go out of the profession, we'll accept the honor.

Mr. V. M. Fikok, of Charlestown, appears in print in a card in the Berkeley Springs Reus, from which we gather that he is willing to serve his country as State Senator if elected. Congressman Le Fkvre says that "no member of Congress can live on his salary of five thousand dollars a year and be honest." Well, no r.ot if he lives as fast as Congressman Le Fevre.

Judge Fuck is spoken of as a candidate for Congress in this District. The Judge is well set on his pegs, but it would be an easy job for Mr. Wilson to knock those pegs from under him in a Congressional election. The Congressional convention for this district will be held at Keyser on the 25th of August. We hope that Jefferson county will send a solid and enthusiastic delegation for Hon.

Win. Wilson, the best representative the Second district has ever had. At a mass-meeting of the striking miners at Sewell, New River district, the strike was declared off, and the men resolved to resume work Monday. A number of the strikers will not be reemployed by the operators, and it is feared that they will bring on another strike. There is no advance in wages.

In accordance with a decree of the government all the members of the royal family have been banished from France. This done to protect the republic from the danger of a return to a monarchy, but it Is believed by many that it will have a contrary effect, as the banished prlnccs have many sympathizers. The Democratic State Executive Committee met at Parkersbnrg last week and elected Hon. Henry G. Davis as the West Virginia member of the National Executive Committee, in place of Mr.

Lewis Baker, who has removed from the State. Some business relating to future campaign work was disposed of, and the committee adjourned to meet at the call of the chairman. A number of postal clerks recently originated a nice little scheme by which they thought to keep themselves in office. They organized an association, the object of which was to prevent the Postmaster General from dismissing one without causing all of them to strike. The plan did not work well, for, coming to the ears of Mr.

Vilas, he promptly dismissed twenty-nine of the ringleaders. That wouud up the conspiracy suddenly. Wheat continues low In price, bu when the farmers consider that everything they have to buy is also very cheap they must allow that they are not without tomethihg to be thankful for. Groceries, dry goods, implements and sup- plies generally are down in about the same proportion as wheat. And then, too, the big crop this year if surely something for which we can be thankful, and It is the privilege of every one to at least hope for better prices.

CoNUKKissiAN Wilson recently received a letter from the chairman of the Executive Committee in Randolph county saying the Democrats would hold their meeting Monday to select delegates to the Congressional Convention and asking him to come out. "I am head over heels in said Mr. Wilson. "I want to go there, but I do not see how I can leave. 1 am on two conference committees on appropriation bills.

Any one familiar with the working of Congress knows what that mca'ns. For instance: I was up till two o'clock this morning on the work of the committee. This will keep up now till the session closes or till all the appropriation bills are passed. I will have to ask the good people of my district to go easy with me on postal routes, new postmasters, and such matters until Congress adjourns. I will have to re.

main here awhile after the session closes to catch up on local affairs." I.ettrr fVoat WaihlBfloa. Washixgtox, June 29, 1886. Messrs. It is painful to hear of those extreme measures, doubtlew wise and necessary, to which the authorities are compelled to to permit the Lake Shore railroad at Chicago to carry on their business. Think of two hundred police, among whom there is a proportion armed witii breech loading muskets, as requisite to clear the road tracks and permit the freight trains to move.

An unusual procession of 250 men with attendant In. lies in carriages, anil headed by a tine brass hand, landed on Pennsylvania Avenuw yesterday from Baltimore. They called themselves the Commercial Traveler's Association just from a convention in Baltimore. Our people here call them by shorter name, viz, Drummers. They waited on the President, and said they represented 260,000 drummers.

Surely there never was such a drummed people as we are. The Post reports Mrs. Cleveland as resenting what ladies who have visited her have to say. It would be very sorrowful if Mrs Cleveland and her lady visitors cannot agree. We were all honestly surprised at the vote of 7 to 2 against Matthews, the Albany nominee lor Recorder of Deeds, as thrown in the Senate Committee on the District, last Friday.

Ingalls and Pike, Senators from Kansas and New Hampshire, were the two. Ingalls is a shaip, able man, but a most inveterate partisan, and ought not to have voted for Matthews, for Ingalls has held himself out as a great friend of the District and its people. If the Senate rejects Matthews, Mr. Cleveland ought to give the disposal of the place to the District Democracy. Our Chief of Police for three years past has been Major Dye, who was a Pension Office Clerk, and previously organizer of the Egyptian army about the time of its defeat at Tel-el-Kebir.

He is removed, and it is thought that Mr. S. 11. Walker, a citizen of Capitol Hill, will get the place. Intimations are abroad that Collector Cook (colored) and District Auditor Tichenor will also be asked to resign.

The latter place is worth, I believe the former not less than $4,000 a year. The wonder is that the President holds on so tightly to the Register of Wills, for the present incumbent was a bitter opponent, using his publication, the Republic, to ridicule and belittle Mr. Cleveland. Somehow or other Washington City has too many murders upon her record. Last night a young man named Frank Blackford, son of J.

S. Blackford, formerly Superintendent of the Capitol police, aged twenty-six years, was shot in the side and killed by Samuel Gassenhlemer, the keeper of a restaurant on 6th Street near Pennsylvania Avenue. Claimed to have been done in self-defense. No end to the plans for public parks about Washington. The most attractive seems to be a park along the picturesque valley ol Rock C'rcek, say 1,000 feet wide, to run from near Lyon's Mill to the District line.

The cost of the land would be $100,000. Then the scheme for. a grand avenue from near Observatory Hill to Arlington by a bridge or bridges through the Analostan Island, is very popular. A bridge over the Eastern Branch at the eastern end of Pennsylvania Avenue, connecting the heights with the City by an easy line of road, will before very long cause those pleasant elevations to be in the market. The political pot is boiling, almost over the brim, expected, in the British isles.

Parson Beechcr of Brooklyn, in his very first speech, "put his foot in it" so inaladroitly, that according to a cable despatch he has felt it to be his best way to back out from speechifying altogether. In order to demonstrate the great fitness of Irishmen lor selfgovernment, and probably for governing generally, he instanced their achievements in New York, in which, says the very pro-Irish Washington Star, he "certainly wa? not happy." The Star adds, "the Scotch-Irish, whom Mr. Beecher justly asserted to be among the shrewdest and clcaresl-headed business men In the United States, are the class who in Ireland are fighting against home-rule with all their might. This is a singular confusion for a mind as able as Mr. Beecher's." The fact seems really to be that Mr.

B. thought he was to go over on a great puffing expedition, which would be likely to put him "solid" with the New York and Brooklyn Irish. John Bright, the Birmingham Quaker, stands very far ahead of our Brooklyn in the pending struggle. John is sincere and sound, Henry Ward hollow and empty; John has much at stake, Henry sought only self- glorification, and missing even self-approval. Bright objects to giving up the genuine interests of Ireland to the factious men who pretend to be her friends.

He says "I cannot intrust the peace and interests of Ireland, north or south, to the Irish parliamentary party to whom the government now proposes to make a general surrender. My six years' experience of them, and their language ia the House of Commons, and their deeds in Ireland, makes it impossible for me to hand over to them the industry, prosperity and rights of five millions of the Queen's subjects. Our countrymen in Ireland? least ways two millions? are as loyal as the people of Birmingham." Howe, the historian, denies the capacity of the majority in the south of Ireland for self-government. He says "there is in Ireland, a discontented and miserable population, among whom the desira for separation and hatred of England are universal. He objects to placing the "ioyal and worthy minority in Ireland at the mercy of the mutinous and worthless." And so they go.

A new hotel to equal the finest ou the Continent and to cost two millions, is proposed to be erected in Washington. to be the Windsor Hotel. Staples, the lessee of Willard's, will probably have it in charge. Wash McLean wants to sell his Cincinnati Enquirer and come either to Washington or New York to live. But his priee is very high.

Mr. Blaine seems to be hard at work preparing a tremendous speech. He should be careful it does not turn out like McFingal's musket. Yours, Jadis. The warm weather often baa a depressing and debilitating effect.

Hood's Sarsaparllla overcomes all languor and lassitude. Bought A Mother Wife. Ellis Thomson, a wealthy farmer, living about a mile from Ocean Grove, N. had long loved Katie Carson, a pretty girl of Red B.nnk, hut he could not win her In the usual way. so now he has bought her from her husband, and taken possession of her as his wife, together with her two children.

Six years ago Farmer Thomson and llirani Satterlee were rivals for the hand ol fair Katie. Thomson was rich, uglj and forty. Satterlee was twenty? live, handsome and poor. Sutterleo won tiie girl nr.d married her. They lived, until a week ago, in a little house along the railroad near Deal lake.

Satterlee was employed on the New York and Long Branch Road, but intemperance has ruined him, and he has given but scanty employment to his family. Lately Thomson saw how poor the family was, and ho a' the woman he loved was being ill-used by her husband. His sympathies went out to the injured wife, and he longed to take her to the house he was building on his farm, and which was so rapidly Hearing coinple1 lion. How 10 overcome the insurmountable difliculties which seemed to present themselves was the one question in bis mind. At length he had a happy inspiration.

He wouh1 buy her. When he broached the subject to Mrs. Satterlee she received the proposition with fewer scruples than he had expected; appreciated bis solicit ndc, and if she could not return his affection, her gratitude 1 would go a long way towards it. The question now arose as to whether the husband would make a reasonable barj gain. Mr.

Thompson went to the house and broached the subject. Satterlee thought at first it was a joke, but when he saw Thompson was in earnest he be- came serious, and finally ottered to sell his wife and children for $600. Mr. i i Thompson put down the cash at once. That night Satterlee left for New York, and the woman and children arc now living with Thompson in comfort and happiness.

Stung: to IH'ath. ISeiijumin Zeliner was one of the most active ami prosperous farmers in Delaware county, Ind. He owned several hundred acres of land, valued at $50,000. He was sixty-live years of age. His chief de'ight was the euro of bees, many colonies of which he had about his premises.

These he looked upon as his pets. Early Thursday morning a young colony of bees came forth. They were observed by Mr. Zehner, who calling his wife, proceeded to place them in a hive. The bees were cross, hut after some difficulty were soon secured.

In the operation Mr. Zehner was stung in several places. T.vo bens lighted upon each side of his nose and simultaneously inflicted the little wound so familiar to beekeepers. Mr. Zehner at once complained of the pain as being unusually severe and different in effect from any he hud ever before experienced from the same cause.

He became deathly pale. His breathing was labored and difficult. His aged wife, the only person about the premises, hastened to the houso to bring camphor, hoping its application might give relief to her suffering husband. He sat down in the shade of an apple tree to await her return. Her absence was of but short duration, but when she came she found him dead.

He had apparently died in great agony. Medical aid was summoned, but too late, it is the opinion of the physicians that the bee-stings caused paralysis of the heart, resulting in his death. A l.ocoiuoi i on Tear. A remarkable accident happened to the west-bound through freight on the Vandalia line at Martinsville, 111., last Saturday morning. Martinsville is approached from both directions by a long steep grade.

As the train was (lying around a sharp curve near Martinsville at a high rate of speed, one of the driving rods of the engiDe, a huge tenwheeler, broke and instantly was revolving at a territic rate, knocking the cab to splinters and battering the boiler out of shape. As the train flew by the station the other rod broke, and the tender jumped the track. The rods were revolving at great speed, striking terribly on the cab and boiler, and the steam was escaping in clouds from the holes kn eked in the boiler, while the tender was bounding along on tho tics. As soon as the up-grade was reached on the other side of the station the speed began to slacken, and the train finally stopped, with the engine in the center of the long bridge over the north fork of the Embarrass river. Providentially, the tender jumped back upon the rails just before the bridge was reached, or a terrible wreck would probably have resulted.

The engineer and flreman escaped from the cab when the first rod broke, and were not injured. They Cooled Him Arthur Illggius, a prominent young man of Waterford, recently a bride in Louisville, Ky. She came of good family and is a frail litte creature, but pretty and attractive. Monday two well known citizens caught Higgins iu the act of brutally beating his bride for no other reason than breaking a plate. They reported the case to the Eagle Hose Company, of which organization Higgins was a member.

About 6 o'clock at night a false alarm of tire startled the village and young Higgins haftened to the scene. He was quickly seized by three of the men, while others secured a crockery crate, under which Higgins was placi-d. A swift stream of water was then turned on the victim and a crowd of 5UO men and wouiru witnessed the After Higgins li id been nearly drowned he was released and sneaked to his home. The firemen then publicly expelled him from the depart- ment. Later in the evening lie was expelled iu disgrace from the United Workmen ami the Town Club, ilia father is a well-known merchant of the village and the young man clerked in the store.

Tues lay he was notified to leave town. Prominent ladies have raised a subscription to send Mrs. Higgins to the home of her parents iu Louisville. There is great indignation throughout the town and the brutal husband is denounced. The inter-State conference of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union will be held at Mountain Lake Park July 28, 29, 30 and 31.

i Mr. Tariff Bill. Mr. Randall introduced his tariff bill in the House on Wednesday. He does not claim that the bill is a complete or perfect measure of tariff revision, but holds that it is decided step in the right direction and a sufficient indication of the polit that should be pursued in remodeling the tariff and revenue laws.

The changes in lie rates proposed are to go into effect on the 1st of January, 1887. The additions to the present free list are squared timber, boards and lumber in tiie rough, hubs for wheels, staves and wood of all kinds in the rough, jute butts and bristles The present law admitting live animals imported for breeding purposes free of duty is repealed. The bill repeals all forms of interna) revenue taxation upon tobacco of every description, and all laws restricting lis sale and disposition by farmers and producers after October 1 next. It allo.ws a drawback or rebate of the full amount of taxes paid on tobacco of every description lield by manufacturers or dealers at the time the repeal goes into effect. It also permits from and after the passage of the act the manufacture and sale of fruit brandies and wines free of internal revenue taxes.

The bill was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, whpre It will be allowed to die. Deulb of Judge Judge David Davis, after seven weeks illness, died at his home, in Bloomington, 111., at 6 o'clock Saturday morning. Judge Davis's physician gays the immediate cause of his death was erysipelas, the outcome of a malignant carbuucle, which first appeared April 30, but the diabetes, which must have been insidiously working for two years, was the primary cause, and to it is attributed his rapid decline in llesh. For a week before the end he had been unconscious most of the time. His wife, his only son, George P.

Davis, and wife, his only daughter, Mrs. Sarah I). Swayne and husband, his granddaughter, Alice S. Davis, his niece, Mrs. Fanny Pierpout, his cousin, John M.

Walker, and his old friend, Frank D. Orme, of Washington, were present when he died. Judge Davis was a judge in the United States Supreme Court from 18C2 to 1877, when he was elected as an independent Senator from Illinois. His term expired in 1883. He was married to Miss Addie E.

Burr in 1883. Judge Davis leaves an estate valued at $1,250,000. An Opinion on At Mil A-aukee, Friday, Judge Sloan I delivered an opinion on the motion to quash the indictment of RobertSohildng State organizer of the Knights of Labor, who is on trial on the charge of conspiracy and making threats in connection with boycotts. Judge Sloan ruled that since Schildng threatened to put the vast machinery oi the Knights of Labor In operation to prevent ths public from patronizing the llrin boycotted, he injured the firm's income, which was much property as machinery or buildings, and that to attempt to dictate to them against their will whom to employ or discharge was a parallel offense. All organizations of the kind seeking to interfere with the business of manufactures or others are not In accordance with law.

Said the judge: "Laborers or capitalists maj organize for their own protection, but have no right to take the aggressive, i In our social and industrial life and our government, the socialist and the boycott have no place." An Probably the largest blast of rock ever made in this State was one made on the extension of the Ohio River Road oppo- 1 site Little Ilocking last week. The line of the blast was 120 feet in length. It was all solid rock, eight feet wide and twenty-one feet deep. To make the blast 84 of giant powder was used. The explosion was terrific and the result was unpleasantly dangerous for those across the river.

It seemed as though the entire hillside was lifted up bodily and thrown into and across the rjvar. An eye witness says that large rocks weighing over 100 pounds were thrown across into Little Hocking. All the windows in the church and many in the private residences were broken. One lady was thrown to the ground by the concussion and every one in the vicinity was greatly shocked. It was a new and unpleasant experience for the people down the river.

On Sunday last, near Scott's Mills, on the Maryland side of the river, oppo. site this place, Misses Clara and Cora Miers, who lives on that side of the river, while on their way home from Keyser, were attacked by a mad dog belonging to Rev. Roland Dayton, i he young ladies, when finding themselves closely pursued by the dog, took refuge in an apple tree close by where they were held for three-quarters of an hour, and were rescued by their father, Geo. W. Miers, Jacob Mootnaw and others.

After a lively chase through a wheat field the dog was killed by Mr. The young ladies were considerably frightcned, and were gruatly relieved on the appearance of their rescuers. We are informed that the dog has bitleu seveml persons within the last year, and was a very vicious Keystr TribiutC. 'fbouiaads Say Mr. 'f.

W. Atkins, Girard, writes: "1 never hesitate to recommend your Electric Bitters to my customers, they give entire satisfaction and are rapid sellers." Electric Bitters are the purest and best medicine known and will positively cure Kidney and Liver complaints. Purify the blood and eg- ulate the bowels. No family can afford to be without them.

A colored child was killed near Elko, Henrico county, last week by a piece of Ice thrown by a young man from an excursion train on the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad. Miss Waldron, young lady about nineteen j'ears old, who resides near Bu fords, has completed her fortyeighth day of fasting. Her only nourishment has been small quantities of vinegar and water. Her case puzzles the medical profession. Three years ago, after a tornado had devastated the farm of a Georgia farmer, he found a two-years-old boy among the shrubbery of his garden.

No one claiming the waif, the farmer kept and cared for him. summer the farmer took the boy with him into Mississippi, and ther. another tornado took the child, and he has never been heard of since. The Pocahontas Headlight a weekly journal of Virginia, has a new editor, and he says in his salutatory that he does uot "reenter the theatre of journalism as the trembling debutant, dazzled by the tinsel glitter of pictured scenes, uor assume its more sacred functions at. the neophyte, whose swiuging censer but deepens the awful mysteries of the sanctunry." A woman belonging to one of the oldest families of Derby, promised her husband before his death that she would wear his ring as long as she lived.

In the grief that followed his death she forgot about the ring, and it was on his linger when he was buried. A tew nights ago, at midnight, the sexton opened the grave and took ofl the lid of tbecolHu, and the widow went down into the grave and removed the ring from the dead hand. She paid rbe sexton $25 for his work. A statistical expert calculates that if 1,000,000 babies started together in the race of life 150,000 would drop out in the lirst year, 53,000 in the second and 22,000 in the third year. At the end of tortytive years about half of them would be still in the race.

Sixty years would see 1 370,000 gray heads still at it. At the end of eighty years there would be remaining on the track; fifteen years later the number would be reduced to 223 and the winner would quit the track for ever at the age of One single, potent, tangible fact, says an exchange, is worth a book full of theories. Quinine, which, until the tariff duty on it was removed, sold for two or three dollars an ounce, now that it has been removed, sells for fifty-five cents an ounce. The removal of the duty benefits every man in the country who has to buy quinine for himself or his family. Every such muii would receive even greater benefits if the duty on salt, sugar, coal, iron, wool, aud the other necessaries of life were removed.

It was announced that the Thomas Paine Society of Frederick county, would celebrate the seventy-seventh anniversary of Tom Paine'a death at the house of Aaron Davis, near Frederick; but not a celebrater appeared. Mr. Davis i himself observed the day by not working. He said that, while there were only about a dozen members of the society, there were three four hundred believers of the Paine doctrines in the county, but fear of sociul ostracism or injury to their business caused them to make a secret of their views. Crawford, young woman of Tolono, has been an invalid for two much of the time being confined to bur bed with spinal disease.

The other day she requoste 1 uumler of her friends to meet and pray earnestly for ber recovery. They did so. The following morning she a. oie, dressed herself, and wuut to breakfast for the first lime in two years; and the day following Hie went to a picnic. Skeptical physicians say that she could have this at any time during the two years if she only had thought so.

Lieutenant Frederick Schwatka, in command of an expedition fitted out by the New York Times, sailed for Alaska from Port Townsend, Washington Territory, on last Monday. The expedition has for its object the exploration of the almost wholly unknown St. Elias Alps, which stretch for nearly 300 miles from the upper part of that lane of water called "the inland passage to to Mount St. Ellas, the highest peak of the North American continent. Professor William Llbbey, of Princeton College, will have charge of the scientific work of the expedition.

A convention to elect delegates to represent rage county in the democratic congressional convention was held at Luray on Monday. The twelve delegates chosen are supporters of Mr. William It. Alexander, of Winchester. The friends of Col.

O'Ferrall not participate in the meeting, on the ground that the convention had been improperly called by the county chairman, and another convention will be held at the July court, at which other delegates will be chosen. The friends of Mr. Alexander claim that Monday's convention was in all respccts regular. James Oliver Forsyllie shot his wife Ella Saturday morning in the passageway of Myer printing office on street, Baltimore, where the ttomau was employed in the book- bindery.

A Wine Itrforn. The habit of administering quinine in powerful doses, as an antidote to malarial -maladies, was once dangerously common. Happily this practice has undergone a wide reform. Not only the public, but professional men have adopted, not wholly, of course, but largely, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as a safe botanic substitute for tne pernicious alkaloid. The of this change are most Important.

Now fever and ague sufferers are cured? formerly their complaints were only for the time relieved, or half cured? the remedy eventually falling to produce any appreciable effect, except the doses were increased. A course of the Hitters, persistently followed, breaks up the worst attacks and prevents their return. The evidence In favor of this sterling specific and household medicine is of no ambiguous character, but positive and satisfactory, aud the sources whence It proceeds are very numerous.
