Cry lMPRovENENn.-The building
season is now over IN Wheeling, and con.
tractors have plenty Of time this cold
weather TO count their gains. A number
Of capitalists have taken advantage Of
the low prices Of material and cheap
labor 10 erect fine business houses, the
number being bull. during the summer
exceeding that Of the previous year. To
some oil the contractors the season has
been rather remunerative, while others
have not Jared quite so well. In few
instances several contracts have been un.
der Roadway at the same time, all OF
which were looked after by one man.
A walk along the principal streets Of
the city will enable the observer 10 get an
idea Of the work that has been done with.
In the past nine months. On Market
street the new business houses are q fine
threG.story brick block containing three
store rooms on the corner OF 10Th, and
two or three three.story bricks between
that and the creek. Below the creek on
this street are several more fine new
buildings. The Washington Hall ruins
still dls6gure the street, but the ownera
are now advertising Tor proposals to
rebuild. With the coming Of spring Is
promised fine brick block on the south.
west corner Of Market and llth streets,
Mr.. A. c. Egerter having contracted with
Mr.. J. NJ. Brodie for its erection.

enterprise erected during the Centennial
year, the most striking Of which are the
new Peoples Bank building and adjoin.
Ing new buildings, on the corner OF 18th,
and the new business houses erect.
ed by Joseph speidel, Oglebay &
Sons and Parker Bros, Just below
l4th. On Main and 18th streets a
number Of new fronts have been put
In, much to the improvement OF those
thOroughfares. Quite number Of new
business' houses, less pretentious
than those spoken OF, have been put up
in the First, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth
wards, and few in the Seventh and
Eighth wards. The Capitol building,
corner Chapline and 10th streets, Is an
imposing editice, and adds greatly to the
appearance Of that part OF the city.
A great deal Of work has been done In
different parts Of the city, but we have
enumerated the most prominent i'm.
proyements. In the suburbs as we'll
az in the city the usual number
Of fine residences have been put up. In
this connection the Seventh Ward comes
in for fair share Of the credit. The
season has been in the main satisfac.
tory one, and the new buildings have
added much to the general appearance Of

OUR PROGRESS IN CHURCH Music IN
WHEELlEG.-AH Explanation 10 Maud
and Other Peopic.-.The writer Of the arti.
cles on Church ChoirS, which appear in
this paper from time TO time, having
taken up somewhat arduOus and as
yet unexplained task Of writing about
musical matters in Wheeling, receives
con PiaceroletIa such words Of CommendA.
ton as the articles deserve; and though
not sensitive TO adverse opinion, never
theless will most carefully guard truth
and the right, lest innocently wrong
might be done. To be more explicit,
should the meaning Of any article lie
generally misunderstood, an explanation
to set It right will follow, but II is not
intended to continuously explain tritling
nStters or such that a moments thought
on the part Of the reader would set
right. With this prefix, an explana.
ton follows which is eminently
proper, lest injustice might be done
II very worthy person. In CON.
pany Of ladies few days since, one said :
"Did you sec the article on the music at
the CatheIral2 wasn't it severe| To
which the reply was, "Yes, saw 1t, and |
wouldn't like 10 be in . choir nova.
days for fear / would catch it." "But
wasn't II too bad, no THE critic did not
give Mrs. Whitaker 4 bit Of credit p
Now regarding this ConyersAtion We have
few words to say, and promise To take
the first two sentences as a text before
long, to say our say about, but at present
con6ne ourselves 10 the last one, eHpdSSdRt.
It ia amongst the possibilities the writer
OF the articles is not q "he" and might be
seen with Glove Of bonnet at this mo.
ment, holding q dainty little gold
pen TO write these lines. In
the report oil the music on
Christmas at The Cathedral, we purposely
refrained from speaking directly Of Mrs.
Whitaker, because we learned during
Christmas, the organ had taken a cold
or something and would not be CONTROL.
ed, 80 MIRA. W. would have taken us as
being silly 10 find fault with what she
and no one elSe could help about the or.
gan playing or commend az very excel.
ent what could not be so from circum.
stances. We thought we had commended
Mrs. W. in thanking her for taking up
the Mass and doing as well as was done
with it, until we heard what was said,
and see to-day that "Maud" understood
us that all was done without practice
and without leadership" Itis just this
we wish to speak Of. Scarce any one in this
city appreciates Mrs. Whitaker's abilities
and efforts more than the writer, and
cannot let MAUD and others think Mrs.
". does not deserve praise in this in.
stance. From one who ought to know,
we learned that faithful practice OF the
Mass was intended, and Mrs. W. gave
more than ordinary attention to the re.
hearsals, but the singers did not attend
regularly at practice, and as result, not
being accustomed to singing such music,
could not render II we'll with the best
leader. Having made this explanation,
we gracefully subside, after thanking
MAUD for her encouraging word, and
her notice Of a practice we shall some
time make note Of, too, trusting we will
have her aid frequently TO help better
