NoNsENsIcAL REPoRT.-The Commercial
very thoughtlessly published report that three
Republican members Of the City Council were
favorable to the election of Greeley to the
Presidency, and the Gazette seizes hold Of it
with ayidity III order to show that Grant has
becomevery unpopular. If the Greeley men
in our State are all like those alluded to, there
will not be corporal's guard Of them from the
Republican ranks. At any rate, weventure the
assertion that each of them will vote for Grant,
as one of them declared in reference to the re-
port,that he had been fighting the Democrats for
for forty years without making much headway,
and he regarded this move as a capital thing
indeed the very thing to break up and destroy
the entire organization, thus accomplishing in
one season what he had been laboring all his life
to effect. The other gentleman have not been
so long in political life, but they will also hail
the event predicted with equal gladness. The
Republicans cannot he led by Greeley into the
Democratic party, however highly they may
have heretofore regarded him.

A HUGE FIGHT.-A fight between a
white boy about fourteen years old and a
negro boy Of about the same age was the
sensation on Market street yesterday
What they got to fighting about no one
knew or seemed to core. When We
saw them they were in front of Louis
Gaus' and were peggng away at each
other after the most approved style. A
little girl passing along with basket
on her arm was the heaviest sufferer.
She got glancing blow on the neck
and was tipped over into the gdtter in a
manner more rapid than graceful. The
row was stopped by Sergeant Conaut,
who caught one of :ne boys in each
hand. Then he had his hands full.
AS he towed them along calabooseward
the white boy got away and ran like
scared dog. In the effort to catch him
he let the darkey loose, and was so
beaten out of both Ills captives. The
boys, though, will be forthcoming when
he wants them.

TIE PEOPLES STAMP OF VALUE
Government endorsement which legal
ICES the sale OF Plantation Bitters, is
not the only stamp affixed to that ia
nous Vegetable Tonic. 1t bears in ad.
dition to that official sanction, the still
more valuable stamp Of public spproba-
ton. This inestimable voucher of its
rare properties as a Tonic, Corrective
and Alternative, is Of much earlier date
than the Government credential; for
millions of sick persons had pronounced
il the Grand Specific of the Age long
before Congress thought OF taxing pro-
prletary medicines. 1t is unnecessary
10 repeat, in detail, the properties OF
this wonderful Vegetable Invigorant.
The best reference that can be offered to
those who desire the full particulars Of
its virtues is the General Public. Ask
those who have tried it as remedy for
dyspepsia, constipation, biliousness, iu-
termittent fevers, nervous debility,
rheumatism, sea sickness, low spirits,
or loss of vital power, what Plantation
Bitters has done for them, and be gov
erned by the response they make to your
inquiries.

Our IRON IyTEREsr.-While all our
people and many persons abroad know
that Wheeling is considerable Of q
manufacturing city, but few realize the
magnitude of our iron interest. If the
great advantages Wheeling has over
almost any other manufacturing COM
munity were more generally known, We
are of the opinion that capital and cap.
italists would soon be attracted here in
such numbers that our city would soon
become the Birmingham of America.
To-day there are some six or eight
rolling mills in and near Wheeling
manufacturing nails and iron which are
given the preference over all others. In
the Iron Reporter we find that a Wheel
ing mill stands second on the list as to
the quantity of nails manufactured and
shipped. The blast furnace recently
erected a mile or two below the city
was the largest in America when COM
pleted, and not until few days ago
was its equal completed in Pittsburgh.
We learn that blast furnace will soon
be erected near the Top mill, which
will have equal capacity to those
already mentioned. In addition to nails
and bar iron, we have mill here man
ufacturing as fine railroad rails as ever
q car passed over, and these rails, like
our nails, are given the preference when.
ever competition is entered.
Wheeling seems admirably located
for a manufacturing city. Coal IS
found in abundance, and, in fact, the
supply appears to be inexhaustlble.
The coal lands could not have possibly
been better located, as narrow gauge
tracks can be constructed from the
mines to the mills. Here coal can be
delivered at the furnaces for four cents
a bushel, while in Pittsburgh it costs
eight and nine cents. As our city is
soon to enter upon a new era in rail-
road facilities, although she has for
twenty years had two good railroads
we trust every inducement will be held
out to capitalists to locate here. There
is no reason why we should not have
ten rolling mills to every one we have
today.

LAMP ExpLosIoN-On last Saturday
night kerosene lamp exploded in the
house of Patrick Kenney, in North
Wheeling, that was near creating a
coDhagration. The lamp had been
lighted and left burning in an upper
room, while the family were all down
stairs. Without being moved, and, as
we say, with no one in the room, it ex-
ploded, scattering the burning fluid all
over the room. Some persons living
on the opposite side Of the street ran
over and gave the alarm. The flames
were extinguished by covering them
with blankets. 1t was very fortunate
that there was no one in the. room, or
we might have had to record another
fatal accident from the use Of this dam
gerous fluid.

CHANGE OF TIME.-Ths new time
table which has just been adopted by
the Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Wheel
ing railroad does not vary much from
the former schedule. The trains arrive
few minutes earlier, and depart but a
few minutes later. We are sorry we
are not to have a third train this sum-
mer, as it affords our citizens better
facilities for visiting the lakes. The
Wheeling and Steubenville accommoda-
ton train should be put on. We are
confident it would be paying invest
ment to the company, and we are sure
it would be a great convenience to resi-.
dents along the line, who desire to come
to this city. We congratulate the
efficient Superintendent, Mr.. John
Thomas, and all concerned, upon the
excellent condition Of their road, and
know they will do everything in their
power to accommodate the public.

The PRIDE OF PARIS, aud, indeed, OF
all France, in an artistic way, is Hector
Berlioz, the great composer, and the
French Beethoven. 4 letter from Paris
to the New York Revie0, SAYS: "As
one of the most fiattering compliments
ever paid to any piano manufacturer
by so great a musician as Berlioz, !
consider his remarks about the Stein
way piano worth repeating. He said
If l had known such pianos thirty
years ago, probably should have com
posed for the piano only. This Stein
way system gives YOU an entire orches-
ra, on a smaller scale, with all the
advantages of the richest INSTRUMENTS
ton. Steinways PIANOS are the only
ones, Of all those have heretofore
heard, that possess the most perfect
beauty of the harmony, without the
slightest addition OF that screaming
seventh, which has never been avoided
in the other system of piano manufac~
ture. This alone, Independent CT the
many other advantages and superior
qualities these instruments possess
would he sufficient to mark a new
epoch in the history OF piano making"
These famous Steinwsy pianos car
be found in this city a: V. Harding's
100 Market street.

New SroCK OF HATS AND CAPs.-Mr.
Frank Porter, No. 1873 Main street,
Sheppards building, has, in connection
with his boot and shoe store, opened a
large and we'll selected stock Of hats
and caps, which he is selling at the
lowest possible figures. Recognizing
the fact that the public has been paying
high prices for head wesr he has de-
termined to revolutionize prices by sell
ing his goods at a very ANAL margin
above actual cost, believing in the old
adage that quick sales and small
profits" is after ali the most satisfactory
method to both seller and buyer. lie
would also call attention to his general
and complete assortment OF boots and
shoes, embodying all styles and makes
for youths, misses and meas wear. He
will, as with his stock Of hats and
caps, dispose OF them at prices to suit.
If you would consult your interests

Up AGAlN.-Yesterday q woman
named Sarah Sherman was up before
Judge Good on a charge Of drunkenness.
In excuse she said she had been taken
very uuwell, and thought there should
be no scruples in such a case about
taking dram. After paying her fine
and getting out she must have had
another and a big sick spell, for last
evening she was hauled up to the lock,
up in an express wagon, so drunk she
could not walk. Wonder what plea she
will put 10 this morning.

POLICE CoURr-Yesterdsy mornings

POLICE County, sterdsy mornings
session of the Police Court was b very
interesting one, and presented q most
agreeable variety Of offences. ...
On Saturday afternoon Turk, Sal
yards, who seemed 20 have been filled
with benzine and instigated by the devil
went to the door of Mrs. Norman, on
Union street, and after kicking up q
row and called the woman every low
and filthy term to which he could apply
his tongue, went to work to kick in the
door. For this he was fined $40 and
costs or twenty days. He was not ar
rested just then, so he wandered up to
the residence Of his father-in-law, Mr..
Hiveley, whittier his wife had fled for
protection, and raised another ruction,
kicking at the door and throwing stones
at tn house: Thinking to quiet him
his wife went out to meet him, when he
tried to knock her down. She escaped
from him and regained the house. He
went away, for a reinforcement Of ben
zine, probably, and during his absence
officer Junkins was sent for. On
Turk return, and just as he was gath
ering an armful of boulders, to COM
mence bombardment on the house,
the officer took him in custody. For
this outrageous conduct he was fined
$40 and costs, or thirty days. Not hav.
ing the necessary collateral in either
case he goeth to Professor Prices Geo
logical Academy. After he has served
fifty days at the stone quarry we have
an idea he will be less inclined to be
fractions than on Saturday last.
John Mcintosh was arrested on Sat-
urday, on Main street, in the neighbor'
hood OF the Grant House, making big
row. s. and costs was the penalty.
For some time past a party Of boys
have been in the habit Of congregatlng
on the wharf, at the foot of Union
street, for the purpose Of enjoying the
delightful and safe amusement Of
throwing stones. On Sunday last one
of them. named Richard Vesey, was
arrested. The hearing OF the case was
continued until this morning, because
OF the absence of witnesses for the
defense.
Thomas Connery was found in East
Wheeling, on Saturday night about 9
o'clock, as full as tick. He was fined
the plain drunk price, 81 and costs.
A gentle dame who gave the name
of Sarah Sherman was found lying on
the steps of cigar store on the Island,
so drunk she could not navigate. 1t
was plain drunk and charged for at
plain drunk rates 81 and costs.
Martin Smith was drunk and making
a Judy Fitzsimmons Of himself on
Saturday afternoon. For indecency he
was fined s. and costs.
