SETTLED The charge against James
Chapman for committing an assault,
and battery on Fred Hosenfeld was ar.
ranged yesterday, and "Chappie" was
set at liberty again and without hear.
ing. The complaint laid against him
before the Police Court was also with,
drawn and at the present writing every,
thing is lovely Our informant was in
error in regard to the origin Of the dis
turbance. 1t now appears that Chap,
man did not use the "knucklers," but
they were used by Hosenfeld himself.
Weare always glad to correct any error
we may be led to make through being
wrongly informed.

The HIGHWAY RoBBERY.-The ex-
animation Of Colin Tolan charged with
shooting with intent to kill Louis Adj
dlesohn, on the 2Sth day OF April last,
took place before Squire Johnston yes
terday. The facts elected on the ex-
animation are these: Adhesion, who
is a peddler, was passing through a
piece Of woods between Triadelphia and
West Liberty, near Buchanan's mill,
about eight o'clock in the morning
when he was accosted by Tolan, who
was mounted on horse he had borrow
ed from Mr.. Oldham the night before.
Tolan rode up to Adhesion and catch
ing him by the collar attempted to
snatch his watch. In the struggle that
ensued the hook fastening the watch
to the vest was broken, Tolan then
drew a pistol swearing he would have
the others life. Adhesion begged for
mercy and offered to give the other his
watch and all he had if his life should
be spared Tolan drew his pistol and
fired, the shot goring through Addle-
sohn's hand. As soon as he fired, he
rode off as if scared at what he had done.
Adhesion was found by some one pass
ing and was taken 10 house in the
neighborhood where he has since been
confined by his wound.
The testimony fixed the outrage so
conclusively on Toland that the Justice
felt obliged to require Tolan to find
bail in the sum of $1,000 to answer the
charge before the Circuit Court. This
Tolan could not do and he was COM
mitted to Jail.

\ CURIOSITY friend Ell. Book
ing has on exhibition at his drug store.
under Odd Fellows Hall, a piece Of
bark of the big tree found in Calaveras
county, California, brought home by
Col. OSlebay. This piece Of bark is
about nineteen inches from the exterior
to where it was fast to the wood of the
tree, and is itself as large as the diane
ter of an ordinary tree. The trees,
from one of which this bark was taken,
measure from sixty-three to one hundred
and twelve feet in circumference. This
section OF bark is quite curiosity and
well worth an examination.

The ACCOMMODATION. We are in
formed that the citizens OF Bridgeport
and Martinsville are considerably ex-
ercised against Superintendent Thomas
for taking the Steuberville accommoda-
ton train off of the Cleveland and Pitts
burgh road, and are presenting various
petitions to have it replaced We
doubt lift will be, without considerable
change is made in the time. As it was,
the train had been run so lively to get
it out OF the way, that the old ladies OF
both sexes, got frightened, and came
down on the steamer Forest City, a. a
safer mode of conveyance. Some peo-
pie get badly frightened at a rate Of
speed faster than ten miles an hour.

GAS WORKS QUESTION
CITY TENDERS s7s,6s7.5s.
The Gas Company Refuse It.
CITY TAKES THE WORKS.

Quite an excitement was raised on
the streets yesterday by the report that
the city had taken forcible possession
of the Gas Works. Visions OF Ku-
Klux, sensation items, deeds Of blood
and all that sort Of thing danced before
our eyes, as we rushed around franticaI-
ly to secure the facts Of the case.
AS is well known, the Commissioners
appointed by the City Council to open
books for the subscription to the loan
to the city for the purchaselof the Gas
Works, could not perfect their labors
until the city had possession of the
Wheeling Gas Works, so that the
proper deed of trust on the property and
the real estate and revenues Of the Gas
Works could be given for the payment
of the bonds. As it was necessary that
this should be done without delay, and
as the Gas Company showed no intention
Of acceptingth award ofthe authorities,
the Commissioners Messrs. NJ. Reilly
and A. J. Sweeney, yesterday, raised the
sum named in the award Of the arbitra'
tors $73, 637.53, on their individual res
possibility. and in company with Mayor
LETTERS took that amount to the office
of the Gas Company and made tender
of it. They were courteously received
by the President of the company, j..
Hornbrook, Esq, who acknowledged
the tender, but declined to receive the
money. The sum named was then
placed in the Merchants National Bank
subject to the order of the Gas company,
and the Mayor and Commissioners pro-
ceeded to the gas works where they
took formal possession, notifying MIR.
Brown, the Superintendent, and through
him the workmen, that they must look
to the city for their pay, until further
orders, as they were now at work for the
CITY, and that no change would be made
for the present.
The Commissioners will shortly pub
lish notice to the citizens OF Wheel
ing informing them that they must pay
their gas bills, to the City Of Wheeling
for the month of June and from that
time forward.
We are informed that there will be a
meeting of the Board Of Directors Of
the Wheeling Gas Company to-day,
and that the tender Of the money will
probably be accepted. We hope this
may prove to be the case as any further
contest can but arouse bitterfeelings on
both sides, and as the city has manifest
ly the advantage, the gas company can
only be the loser in the end An
amicable settlement is always the best.
We are glad the Mayor and Commits
sioners have had the necessary sand
as the boys call it, and have grappled
the question thus manfully and in time.
If the city can furnish better gas and at
less price than we have been getting it
at, we want to see her at it speedily.

Man Captured ON Short
Creek.
FULL PARTICULARS.

We published, on Saturday morning,
a brief statement Of the escape OF q
prisoner from the guards at the PehI-
Tertiary at Moundsville, on Thursday
evening. We did not then know his
name. lie was re-captured on We'd
nesday afternoon near Fairmont We
have the following particulars in re-
gard to him. His name is William
Crotty, and he was tried at the Novem-
Der, 1870. term of the Circuit Court OF
Cabell county, for stabbing with intent
10 kin and was convicted and sentenced
to two years and six months confine-
ment in the penitentiary. On the 18th
of February last, he and negro con-
vict named John Thomas, captured
George Richie, a guard, took his gun
from him, tied him to a tree and lett.
On the 2lst OF the same month the two
were captured on Short Creek, in this
county and returned to the penitentiary.
On Thursday Of last week Crotty
with five other convcts were put to
work outside the stockade shoveling dirt.
Watching the opportunity when the
two guards attention was drawn else
where, he took second French Fur
lough,' and was gone-so say his COM
panions in stripes-from ten to fifteen
minutes before the guards discovered
his absence The guards were dis
patched in all directions, but 'ailed to
get any trace Of him that night.
Some time during that night he en-
tered the house of George II. Purdy,
close by, and stole coat, pants,
hat, shoes and socks, which Purdy had
taken off when he retired to bed, and
took TO the woods. Not being a very
good woodsman, he became bewildered
and wandered about until finally he
reached Fish creek and put up the
creek and crossed back to the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, reaching it at or
near Bolton on Monday evening. lie
walked from there to Warrington,
sometimes on the railroad, and when he
saw any one near him he would take
to the woods. He reached Warrington
on Tuesday evening after dark, and
about two o'clock Wednesday morning
he entered the honse Of Mr.. Turby
and stole his coat, vest, watch and
pocket-book and about fifty dollars in
money. We was arrested near Fair
mont Wednesday afternoon and returned
to the Penitentiary, arriving there at
lis yesterday morning.
He had a hearing before a justice
yesterday morning, and Mr.. Purdy
identified the pants and hat which he
had on when arrested as part Of the
property stolen from his house.
His case will be submitted to the
next Grand Jury Of Marshall county so
far as the Purdy robbery is concerned,
and we suppose the Marion county bur
glary will be examined by the next
Grand Jury oftbat county.
