LAST NIGHTS MEETING.

The meeting which WAS adjourned
from Saturday night. and again from
Sunday night until last night, was held
in front of the Court house. People were
there in plenty, and without regard TO
age. sex, color or condition. Mr.. WILL
LIAM TAYLOR. OF East Wheeling, pre-
sided, and some five. or six men made
short addresses. The sentiments uttered
by most of the speakers were proper
enough, but there were one or two who
we're either light headed or bad hearted
We prefer TO think the former. The
crowd was large, miscellaneous ia its
character, and good nstured. There was
more laugh sRd jollity than scrimony
and bitterness-much more.
For the cause of the wOrkingmsn the
meeting accomplished no good-not
whit. We do not know that on the
contrary, any harm came to that cause
rs a result OF the gathering. When we
come to balance the good and evil effects,
We conclude that neither predominated'
and that the affair was harmless.
II the railroad men expect to accom-
plish anything by the strike, they will
have to do ii by quiet, firm and manly
action. Cab is cheap. Indulgence in 1t
will Weld no solid results. In n crisis
like this, Silence is golden.
Wheeling IS emphstically a city OF la
boring men. Workmen fill her positions
of honor and profit. Her Mayor is
mechanic. and her Councilman are
men OF toll. Our mills and our
shops are largely owned by
the laborers who carry them on.
Even those of our citizens who have ac-
cumulsted little o. this worlds goods
nearly a. -ued their wealth by the u.e
OF thei- +. 3ned muscles. There is no
contest ,en capital and labor-there
can be :" in city like Wheeling
where eli 20 workers. We have but
few dron Il our busy hive-few who
live on t.. ills and sutferings of others.
1t is well :. these thugs be borne in
mind by those who feel that their lots are
hard. 1t has fallen to but few of US to
escape the Divine denuncistion: ain
the sweat OF thy face shalt thou eat bread
i'll thou return into the ground"

Fatal Accident 10 Young Lady.

Charlestown Free Press.
The shadow cast over this community
bv fatal accident TO one who was but
lately in our midst, in the full vlgor O:
youth and health, has saddened and de-
pressed every one to whom she was
known and endeAred. On Thursday
morning OF last week, Miss BertIe Fer
rusop left Charlestown in company with
ner brother, Rev. Snyder u. Ferguson,
and his family, Tor visit t. Paris and
neighborhood, in Fsuquier county. Sat-
urday evening she WAS riding on horse
back, when her horse took fright and
became uncomfortable. Miss Ferguson
wss fine rider, and kept her seat tor
more than mile over mountainous
road. when the horse, in attempting to
leap wide gully, threw her of, the fall
producing almost instant death.
This calamity falling with crushing
weight on her aged mother, devoted
brother and large circle of relatives snd
friends, will bow them to the verv dust,
their only consolation being that this
separation is but for time, while they
NAV confidently look forward to a re-
union with their loved one IN the realms
of everlasting bliss.

The Governor resisted every effort to

satisfied Of the imperious necessity for

Criticism Of a Sermon.

Of human interests" the subject of his

W. Patton wants to make the lower
classes" appreciate the love of the
church Of God "These laboring
men, so narrow and selfish in their
views, so violent in their proceedings,
