THE WOOL MAKKET.

We printed IN yesterdays REGISTER
extracts from the newspapers printed in
several OF the surrounding counties, all
going to show that by what looks much
like q preconcerted movement among
the wool-buyers, the wool of medium
grade of this section of West Virginia
and the adjoining territory in both Ohio
and Pennsylvania WAS pretty we'll
gathered in within the last ten days.
The prices paid, considering the depres'
sed condition of trade. and of all manu-
featuring interests, may be considered
quite good. The finer qualities Of wool,
for which this section is so justly cele-
bra,ed. has not SO generally been sold,
we Judge:
Steubenville Gazette, IA.
The wool market may now be said to
be- active throughout Ohio. In many
counties large proportion OF the clip
has been sold, generally at about 40
cents per pound. We have not learned
of sny general movement in the fine
wool region of this neighboorhood, al
thouth buyers are numerous aud seem
anxious TO buy at the above named price.
In some cases Al and AZ cents have been
offered and refused, and the growers
seem TO stand firm for u higher price.
There is undoubtedly scarcity OF tne
wools in the Eastern markets, which
seems to justify this action on the part OF
the growers.
Guernsey Jefiersonian. June 18th.
The wool market has been active dur
ing the pas. week. The home dealers
yot orders TO buy about the middle OF the
week, and since that time several hum
dred thousand pounds OF the staple have
been purchased at about forty cents.
There are rumors that forty-one cents
have been offered for few clips, but we
have heard OF no sales at that figure.

A LOCAL TRAIN FROM BARNES
WILLIE.

The Bellsire Independent calls upon
The B. g. o. railroad authorities to try
the experiment Of putting on an early
morning local train from GAINESVILLE to
Wheeling-lesving the former place
about seven o'clock, stopping at all way
stations and arriving at Wheeling at .
o'clock. The Steubenville sccommods-
tion, on the Cleveland and Pittsburgh
road, is q success, and we see no reason
why the Bsrnesville accommodation
should not be. Such trade would de-
velop additional travel along the line
between Bsrnesville ard the river, would
attract travel that now goes over the
National road to Wheeling, and
would be of great benefit to this
city and to Wheeling. Leaving Barnes
vile at the hour named, persons re-
siding within four or FIVE miles on either
side OF the road would have time to
reach It, the st. Clsirsvllle road would
be able TO drain all the travel oil the
National Road from the vicinity of that
town, and all would have abundant time
10 transact their business at Bellaire and
wheeling. At present No. I gets into
Wheeling at noon, while the omnibus
over the National Road gets in sbou!
III o'clock, and persons in the
neighborhood of St. Clairsville are
able to drive in by 9 o'clock. We may add
that tho efforts of Capt. DEvRrEs to sc-
ccmmmodste the people between Wheel
ing and Washington, Pa, by running
trains on that road to suit the conve-
nlenee Of people along the line, has re-
suited in building up geod passenger
t'ahc which enures TO the benefit of the
road, the city and the country served.
These accommodation trains can be run
enesply, aud the fares collected upon
'hsm are at full local rates which pay
the road altogether better than cheap
through fares from competing points.

THE SCAFFOLD.
Murderer Executed at Day ton, o.


DAYTON, June l5-Hsrry Adams was
hung at 1880 o'clock to-day for the
murder of Henry Mullharren, Q soldier,
February 13, 1875. Mulharren was an
inmate of the Soldiers Home. The day
before the murder he drew pension of
$50, came into the city and
went to q house of Ill lame. In
treating Adams saw Mullhsrren had
money, followed and murdered him.
Adams was the parsmour of the land
iady. When Mulhsrren stepped out on
the street, Adams took hammer, follow
ed him, mashed in his skull, and left him
TO die in the gutter. Adams failed to get
any money, and was arrested, tried and
convicted. Adams met his doom much
unconcerned. He made a speech on the
gsllows and declared his innocence. His
last words were terrible harran que.
He was either drunk or crazy. He
laughed, used slang and gave his enemies
Q going over. He said Jennie Smith
murdered Mullharren. His recklessness
was remarkable. The execution was
perfect After thanking the sheriff and
Father Nicholas, the prayer was offered,
he dropped and in fifteen minntes was
dead. 1t was expected that he would
make q confession, but be stubbornly
held tc the old story and died with it on
his lips.

ISyssTIGArINa q 1H e RAILROADS.

Hon. d. ID. JOHNSON arrived in the
city, yesterday, on his return from Bal
timore, where he has been on duty as q
member of the Legislative Committee,
amounted last winter to investigate the
freight and passenger tariffs charged by
the b. u U. r. K. The committee Is
composed of Col. JOHNSON and Mr..
BUTLER, of Jefferson, on the part Of the
Senate, and Col. ROBINSON of Mineral,
Mr. JOHNSON of Harrison, and Mr..
Lowe of Marion, on the part OF the
House. These gentlemen, with the
exception of Mr.. LOWE, have been
holding a session of the Committee in
Baltimore for the past week, taking testi-
mony in the line OF their invetlgstlons.
The Committee will have another sitting
in Wheeling some time in September,
after Mr.. KEYsER's return from Europe,
before the final report is made up. Ut
course, whist ia likely TO be the
upshot of the Investigation Is mere
conjecture, in the meantime. The
probability is ths: the Committee Will
snd that the charges Tor passenger travel
are both reasonable AID lawful; and that
the freight rates between what are
known ~ c'mp"t'n points Will not DC
found mucn nuI ul the way, but the rates
10 local stations will be found to be IN
some instances neither reasonable nor
lawful. However this may be, we pre-
sumo that the Committees investigations
will result in bringing about an adjust
ment which will be uniform, just and
sstis,s tory TO the public.
