the county roads may be productive Of
permanent highWaysa
We say begin Of the city limits. In a
few days the citizens Of Wheeling viii
vote upon the proposition 70 lend the
credit Of the city for the purpose Of OBJ.
tanning funds with which 70 permanently
improve certain thoroughiares communi'
eating directly with the lines Of ingress
from the country. When VIC take into
consideration that In an appropriation
for the building Of county roads the great
bulk Of. such an appropriation Is derived
directly from the city Of Wheeling, 1t Is
but right that she should dictate the
method Of expenditure.
Taking for granted that the contempla.
ted improvement on our leading thorough.
fares will DO made, what becomes the
manifest policy Of the Board Of Commis'
sionersf It Is amply 70 begin where the
city leaves of; sbut the improvements
upon county, roads against those Of
the city; make the appropriations
as liberal Eos the county can afford,
and specify the amount 10 DO ex.
pended upon each road. When 0 fund
shall have thus been created for each
road, instead Of dissipating 1t as hereto.
fore In a worse than useless sttempt to
make an extended line Of road, begin as
we have said at the city end Of each road,
and undertake no more than tho amount
Of money appropriated to each will com.
plete In q thoroughly permanent manner.
In this way every step taken. into the
country would be complete in itself;
would never require anything more than
the light repairs incident to the very best
roads that can DO made.
TIE NUMBER OF MAIN LINES.
We believe that every county should
have three or four lines Of communica.
ton running through It OF convenient
distances apart. These should be built
at the expense Of the county. Ordinarily
such lines would be from three to five
miles apart. ID e
ALL GROSS ROADS
should be built OF the expense oil the sVc'
tons through which they pass by spe-
cial levy on the admitting property.
| OUR TRUE POLICY
Is TO begin anew our road making
Whatever we do, whether much or little
let it be finished the same season in which
1t Is commenced; let 1t abut against some
thing that Is permanent; let every roat
undertaken be such that when our coun-
Try friends coming to town once get onto
it they may know that from such point
into tho city, they are on q good solid
road, and can load their teams according
ly. To our friend Whitman, this policy
may seem slow, but we think it has the
merit Of being mighty sure. and withsl
very practical. 1t will be trus union Of
the country and the city. II will make
the products Of the farms within a lew
miles Of the city available at all seasons.
as things now stand, people who live
from ten to twenty-five miles up or down
the river IRE virtually, during q consider
able portion Of the year nearer to our mar.
ket, can come TO Wheeling with less wear
and expense than people living within
three OR FIVE miles OF the city, on any
road In Ohio Co, other than the old Ma
tIonal Road.
These things should not be thus.

lied the attempt on the part Of Ohio
county to do q general road making
business.
We have before US the statement Of the
Chairman Of the Committee on Roads and
Bridges, condensed from the annual re-
port OF the Committee TO the Board Of
Commissioners on last Monday 18th inst
Mr.. Whitman, as Chairman, shows
that during the past year there has been
expended on roads In this county nearly
$4,000, and yet
ONO COUNTY HAS NO ROADS
"There Is no county road leading into
our county seat but what might be termed
at this moment, on Msy 4th, II not i'm
psssAble, at least uusatc from the con-
dltlon Offs rosdbed."
This Is otter an expenditure Of nearly
$4,000, which, II Mr.. Whitham's state
ment b. correct, Is absolutely thrown
away. Again he says, 1.-THE condition Of
the roads were reported upon this time
last year, and they are now in q worse
condition after all our expenditure-ln-
deed, where some OF our heaviest oxpen-
dllurcs were made the roads are nearly
impossible" .'H
WORSE AND MORE OF IT.
We are also informed that "within the
past ten years probably no less than
100000 have been expended on roads IL
this county, and they are in q worse con-
dltion to-day than they were ten year
ago." 10 other words, those who have
had the management Of our county affair,
Tor the last ten years have sunk in thI
miro Of tho rural districts 100000, anC
are no nearer to having anything tina

A Point at Issue.

The New York people have not
been able to ascertain yet whether
Christian Lund, or Mrs. Ruper, as the
ease may be, is man or woman. Chi
cago had dash at Christian Lund some
time ago. Christian was not considered
very reliable young gentleman in Chi
cago. He was smart, sharp, and shrewd
~ suspected of being sharper. He
was very good looking young man,
who spoke English well. with mixture
of foreign accents. 1t was charged that
Christian Lund sometimes dressed up
as lady, and get situations for fine
sewing, teaching, housekeeping, and
domiciled himself in boarding hou es,
taking as a name an improper noun of
the feminine gender. According as
places and chanceswere more plenty for
men or for women, she made up and
passed for either sex. At length Chris
tian Lund mysteriously disappeared
rom Chicago, either in brooches or pet
tlcoa.a. nobody knew which, and soon
after Mrs. RupeI appeared in New York
in fashionable boarding house, where
French and Spanish were the principal
languages of the parior and table. She
wore fine jewelry and fine dresscs,an be-
haved herself like lady. She spoke
both French and Spanish fuently. and
also talked Swedish with the Swedes,
German with the German and Italian
with the Italians. She could also speak
good English, but had little use for that
language in the boarding house. Mrs.
Ruper was marvel Of languages, a
store house of vocabularics, a mistress
Of almost all female accomplishments.
including embroidery and music, and a
mint of mystery. The dashing young
men Of the house all fell in love with
her too, but she had no favorites among
| them. Like the sun she shone on all
alike and flashed in her jewelry and
glittered in her conversations and kept
her own counsels. At length it was
whispered in that house that the dash
ing and flashing Mrs. Ruper was Chris

little scare; the boarders began to talk
about her behind her back and look

The Centenary Church Troubles,
Minnea polls.

The trouble in the Centenary N. E.
Church, Minneapolis, between Revs. j..
F. Chaffee and Hollington, and other
members of the congregation, were car
ried to the NJ. E. Conference on a series
of charges and specifications against
Mr.. Chaffee. They charged Mr..
Chaffee:
First, with imprudent conduct on
three several occasions with women. one
notorious prostitute.
Second, Of falsehood in church mat
ters.
Third, of behaving wrongfully and
dishonesty in a business transaction.
Fourth. of unchristian and I'M
ministerial conduct; and
Fifth, of stirring up strife among the
brethren and fomenting and promoting
dissensions in the church, and in con-
tinually and persisting interfering with
the interests and business Of Centenary
Church in an Legitimate and an I'M
warranted manner.
Early In the session of the Confer
ence these charges we're referred to the
following committee: Revs. G. Brooks.
j. kernes, n. A. Woodbridge, I. NJ.
Gossard. II. S. hilton, j. L. Lewton, c.
L. Barkaloo, B. Phelps, c. NJ. Heard,
c. II. Savedge, G. Griswold, j. NJ. Rog-
ers, l.. NJ. Akers, S. Boles, n. fainter,
and j. w. Lewis.
This committee considered the
charges with closed doors, being in ses-
sion eight days, the Conference remain
ing in session several days after its
regular business had been completed,
to hear their report, and found him
guilty of the first and fourth charges,
and not guilty of the second, third and
fifth. and recommended that a mild
reproof be administered to Mr.. Chaffee,
by the Bishop in open Conference.
From this finding Mr.. Chaffee appealed,
which carries the case to a judicial con-
ference. This conference is composed
of seven elders, presided over by a
! Bishop, from whose decisions there is
no appeal. In the meantime Mr.. Cha, :.
| fee is without a charge.
