The Benefits of Good Credit.

We notice by the New York papers
that DRExEI, MORGAN & Co., Of that
city, have received adVices from their
London house that the subscriptions to
the 100000, ($1O,OOOOO0 loan to the
Baltimore 6 Ohio Railroad recently
brought out by them amounted to over
&5,OOo0OO-or $25,0OO,0OO, and that the
books were only open two days at that
This fact shows two things, that the Balti
more s Ohio road possesses an enviable
credit in Europe and also that there Is
still market abroad for first class Ameri.
can securities! The bonds subscribed for
In this loan are for G20O-or $1,000 and
bear 8 per cent from the first day Of Feb
ruary, and are redeemable in the year
1910. These are secured BY q mortgage
on the road from Baltimore to Wheeling,
979 miles, and the. branch from Washing
onto Point Of Rocks, 40 miles; also, ap-
purtenauces, equipments, warehouses,
piers, &c. A sinking fund Of $4,000 is
applied half yearly Tor the extinguish-
ment toI tho bonds. Tho proceeds Of this
loan, with the other resources Of the com.
pany, will supply the means required for
the completion OF all the works in which
the company is engaged. The price at
which the bonds were taken is 9Bl, or
Abb per bond OF G200.

First National Bank of Quincy, iii.
nols, Robbed of 500, 900,

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-Great excitement
was created at Quincy, Ill.,, this morning,
BY the discovery that the First National
Bank had been entered and the vault
robbed of about 100000 in currency be.
longiDgto the bank, and a large quantity
OF bonds and valuable papers, and It d
said quite an amount OF specie deposits.
The bank was entered by cutting through
the hal. floor Of the second story, imme.
distely over tho vault. The burelals
then made breach through three feet of
masonry four feet square. They cut the
riVets of two foot, inchIthick, OF boiler iron
with which the vault is lined, and re-
moving 1t descended into the vault, They
then charged both the money safe and
the one containing bonds and valuable
papers with powder, and by means of a
small India rubber hose carried train 10
the top Of the sale, where small pistol
screwed to an old ledger was arranged to
set it of. A string was attached to the
pistol and passed out Of a window Of the
second story to the street below, and BY
this means the operators were enabled 10
discharge their blasts when the streets
were clear Of people. The clock in the
bank was stopped at seventeen minutes
past two o'clock, it is supposed by the
explosion which must have occurred at
that time. The door OF the safe, which
was a Dodd's Burglar Proof, was COM
pletelY wrenched of. There is no clue
whatever to the burglars, but one Mccoy,
recently connected with q variety show,
has been arrested and Is held on sus.
picion.

Local "Reminiscences.

We had tho pleasure yesterday Of meet
iDg CuAs. McKMoHT, Esq, editor Of the
Peoples Monthly, published at Pittsburgh
and former editor Of the Eoening ChrOni
eys, who is visiting Wheeling for the pur-
pose Of gathering material for historical
novel 10 be called "simon Gerty," the
first number Of which Is TO appear in hlH
Monthly Of April next, and is to continue
10 successive numbers throughout the
year. Mr.. McKN1aHT Is devoting a por-
ton Of his time TO the work Of hunting
up and publishing the facts and traditions
connected with the settlement OF the
Upper Ohio Valley. He Is the author Of
work called "old Fort Duquesne," that
AboundS in early "reminiscences Of the
Pennsylvania and Ohio river border.
That work ho proposes to follow up with
"SImon Gerty," name that Is notoriously
identified with one or both Of the attacks
on Fort Henry, in Wheeling, in 1777 and
1889. In it he proposes to introduce the
exploits Of Captain Brady, the famous
Indian hunter, and yesterday he spent a
portion Of the day accommodating the
topography adjoining the city with view
Of describing our locality and the scenes
aud Incidents connected with its early
settlement, with as much accuracy as
possible. He finds, as all local historians
have found, Much difficulty in getting at
the exact facts connected with the heroic
defence Of Fort Henry in 1777, especially
as regards the famous exploit generally
credited to ELIZABETH ZANE, Of carrying
the powder from the Fort to
ZANE's house at the risk Of her
lite, which exploit Mrs. CRUaER, who
was present, and who was then in her
teens. always contended was performed
by "Mollie Scott" to her certain personal
knowledge. Mr.. MCKNIGHT will make
Capt. BRADY one Of the leading characters
in his work. BE will also endeavor to
show that Simon Gerty did not par
tlcipate in either Of the attacks on
Fort Henry, and that, traitor though he
was, he was nevertheless man not de.
void Of redeeming qualities. His work,
when completed, will, We doubt not, be
one Of considerable interest to all persons
who care to make themselves more ia.
mlliar with the scenes and incidents to
which We have referred.
MIR. MCKNIGHT was entertained at Dr.
HuPP's yesterday where a few gentlemen
were invited to meet him at dinner. He
returns home to-day. AS favor TO him,
and in furtherance OF the work in which
he Is engaged, he would be obliged to
any one who can furnish him with the
present address Of Col. WILLIS De HAss,
formerly Of Moundsville.

Of religion. Now as to the propriety Of
the time and place OF my re-
marks, l chose 70 express what
had TO say In the presence OF the offend
Ing speaker. II would have simply been
dastardly In me TO have replied In the alb
Hence OF Friend Branson. l know that II
is the customary way oi meeting opposi-
ton to vituperate In the absence Of any
opponent, but by my esteem Of true
manhood ! shall never stoop 10 30 vile o
thing. AS to the place, the Wheeling Fe.
male College Is an unsectarian institution,
and cannot in the spirit Of It's boasted lib
erslity allow any sect to monopolize reli.
gious service within its walls to tho ex.
clusion OF any others who may choose to
participate. That institution Ii no more
responsible for what I said than It Is for
what Friend Branson said, and the refer
ence to my remarks as being uncalled for
contradicts the assumed spirit which is
said 10 preside over its affairs.
Finally the President says: 1.-THE
Friends departed as they came, as l sin.
cerely believe, In the spirit Of the Gospel,
peace. and with a sincere desire TO do
good"
This seems TO imply that there Is q
good field for missionary work at the Fe-
male College. ~
Now, lam somewhat acquainted with
the pupils Of the College, and shall de-
tend them sgainst any implied charge Of
benightedness.
AS for Mr.. Morton himself, there may
perhaps be need for some such missionary
work. The spirit ot the gospel Is truth,
and 1t would not be out Of place for him
to take few lessons IN that particular
feature OF It's teachings.
l leave of where began, by saying
that the statements contained in the edi-
torial referred to are substantially correct.
Most Respectfully,

A USEFUL WoRK.-A publication ia
announced in our advertising columns
this morning with which some Of our
readers are already quite familiar, several
parties in Wheeling having received the
work either as 1t came out in serial form,
orHs II. Is now published in two quarto
volumes. We refer to Zelrs Encyclopedia
and Dictionary, one Of the most peculiar
works in certain respects that has ever
yet come under our notice. As its name
imports, it Is both an Encyclopedia and
Dictionary. We do not mean by this that
tits an Encyclopedia after the fashion
Of the Britannica or the Ne1o Ameri.
can, or that 1t is Dictionary after
the manner OF Webster or Worcester,
but simply that 1t Is digest Of words,
facts, incidents, history, biography, science
and literature, to the extent Of 125,0O0
words and 5000 illustrations. One or two
words taken from 1t will show the plan
upon which It Is got up. Take the word
hamlet; derived from the Saxon word
ham, or home; originally it meant the
dwelling Of a ireeholder, and atterward 1t
come to designate small village. Then
we have Hamlet, Of whom we read as
follows: "a celebrated Spanish prince,
whose story is told by saxo. .Grammsticus,
and rendered familiar to all acquainted
with the English tongue by the ad.
mirable tragedy written by Shakespeare"
After this the word occurs yet four times,
as the names Of post offices in certain
counties in Iowa, Indiana, New York and
Rhode Island. This Is certainly com.
pressing considerable information into. q
very small space. And this is specimen
Of the plan upon which the work Is gotten
up. Ot course there are only limited
number Of names that can be run through
like Hamlet, but wherever they occur
they are thus ramifed. 1t Is designed to
supply work for ready reference to all
classes OF people, and to condense and
render easily accessible an amount Of in
formation such as we presume has sell.
dom been put in the same space.

peaceable solution, In addition to the
