lady, Miss May, to whom Bennett has
long been engaged. The nuptials had
been set for Wednesday morning last,
and the "hnppy pair were to have
sailed in the steamer Russia for
Europe, but Bennett had apparently
weakened IN his purpose to such
an extent that he went on a spree
before tue wedding day and failed to
come to time At the hour appointed. So
on Thursday one ofhis Gancee's big broth.

bilf.

Cornelious Vanderbilt was horn on
Staten Island, May 81, 1894, and was
eighty .one years Of age at the time OF his
death. He commenced life as cabin
boy, but before he was twenty years Of
age he owned several boats, sloops and
schOoners. During his early life he was
wholly occupied with maritime enter
prises. In 1913 he commenced building
the steamer Prometheus, with which in
1850 he sailed for the lsthmus Of Darien,
and projected the Greytown route thus
saving 700 miles between San Francisco
and New York over tho Panama route.
In 1851 he put seven steamers on this
r1ule in competition with the United States
and Pacific Mail Companies, and added
three more steamers in 1852. While he

large amount OF the transit stock,
threw him out Of the management.
Upon this Vanderbilt organized an.
other opposition TO MorgGn's between
New Orleans and Galveston, and in 1854
established an independent line between
New York and Aspinwall and on the
Pacific. This soon compelled comprc.
mise, and he resumed. control of the
Transit Company. When Walker seized
the property OF this company in 1856,
Vanderbilt fomen,ed a rebellion which
resulted in Walkers overthrow, In
April, 1856, Vanderbilt withdrew his
California line, receiving large subsidy
for doing 30. His independent trans
atlantic line, started in 1855, was
abandoned in 1861, by the withdrawal OF
the Vanderbilt, large steamer costing
$4,000, which was presented TO the
Government. During Vanderbilt's ma.
ritime career he owned q steamers,
and his entire feet numbered So
vessels. His fortune when he with.
drew from naval enterprises was placed
at $i0,O0O,0o0. He commenced his rail.
way career by large purchases in New
York and New Haven stock. In 1856,
he commenced buying Harlem stock, and
in 1854 he owned nearly the whole Of It.

Passage Of the Loan Ordinance
lnS1 Night

Az we anticipated, the proposition to
fund tue floating debt Of the city into a
bonded Indebtedness met with but little
opposition in Council, M ordinance to
that effect having promptly passed both
branches l'st night. The proposition is
to borrow $4,000 at per cent, aud tu
make the bonds free Of city tax, which is
equivalent to about : er'ccut, the city
tax OF all kinda last year having been %
cents on the SlOO.
We fully explained the financial alatu,
nf the city yesterday, and it Is not ncces
sary al this time to so over the same
points again. The rate Of interest pro.
videG for in the proposed issue is the
same at which our Brooke county neigh.
b)r4 propose to refund their debt Of
$4,000, aud one per cent more
than the city Of Baltimore is
offering for a loan at thi. time. The G
per cent fourth mortgage bonds Of the
Cleveland II Pittsburgh are selling Today
at l05. The "sixes" OF our Ohio neigh.
bors command l06. Pennsylvania skies
are quoted at l07. Massachusetts, sizes
gold bonds bring ll4!, and the city Of
Boston iives III.
The debt Of the city Of Wheeling is one
ofthe smallest in the country in proper
tion to her population and wealth. She
has II population Of 2S,OOO, and her whole
funded debt (counting$S,OOO Of Hempfeld
bonds and $4,000 Of Marietta & Cincin-
natl bonds, due and unpresented) does
not exceed 1857, 500. Add to this the
proposed $4,000 and We have a sum
total Of $685., 500.
Compare this deb; with that Of other
cities. Pittsburgh in 1870 had popula.
ton Of s6,O76, and now has a debt Of
$685. ,SOl. Cleveland hsd a population
Of 92,S29, and has now n debt OF s. POL.
loo. Cincinnati had population Of
2lG,2 ,239, and now has debt Of SlG,0O0,-
900. Springfield, Mass, has population
hut little greater than our own Isl ,053),
and yet has debt OF $l,869,327. The
city OF Lynn, in that State, has only 49,.
600 people, and yet has debt OF 81 ,sI0,.

We understand that there has not been
such a depression in the nail trade as at
present exists for the past four years.
The nail manufacturers nearly all sup
ported Grant in 1872 and Hayes in 1876,
suppOsing that such aCliop would bring
prosperity. We are not at all surprised
that they are disappointed.-SteW6enriile
G1:ciiS.
The above is the kind of diet that our
Democratic cotemporary dishes up to the
StenbenTille people at 10 cents per week.
One would suppose that the editor had
never heard of the depression that brood.
ed over this country like a nightmare
from 1887 to 1871, in good old Democrat
ic times, nor the subsequent depression
that fell upon the country in 1857, when
the Democratic party was in power.
It's the judgment Of Senator Thur
man that we are bound to have panic in
this country about once in twenty years,
and that recovery therefrom will con.
sumo four or five years. He so express
ed himself In the U. S. Senate 10 January,
1876. Somehow we can never get a
Democratic newspaper TO remember that
speech.
The older people around Wheeling
and steubenville preserve a very dis.
tinct remembrance Of the panic of 1887
and the dark days Of 1840-the days
when you could rent houses in this city
for merely taken care of them, and when
people, having little or'no money, traded
one thing for another, as in barbaric
times, or elHe paid in irresponsible shin
plasters that they would scarcely keep
over night In their pockets.
We have Rs yet had no such times as
those good old Democratic days since the
present panic set in. The depression in
trade is bad enough, but it ia not 80 de.

the days to which We refer.

The City Council performed Il substan-
tial service i1r the long suffering Gas con.
Sumcrs Of this city last night, for which
they deserve commendation. They gave
u, welcome New Years gift in the
shape Of reduction in the net price OF
ga. Of % per cent--irom So OF per thou.
sand cubic feet to 81 90 per thousand, thus
saving As cents per thousand to every
consumer, and still leaving . safe margin
Of profit to the city over and above the
cost Of manufacture. The reduction takes
effect on the lat ofFebruary, and will thus
include two Of the dark months Of the
year, February and March,
This reduction has not come any too
soon. The business Of the country is be-
ing done at a small margin Of profit, and
in many cases at loss, and the people
should be as lightly taxed as possible for
the necessities Of life. Gas is 4 necessity
because Of its superior convenience and
safety Us Il light in the household and in
places Of business, but heretofore II has
been made luxury by reason of the er.
travagaut price charged for it.
The new price puts Wheeling on a
level with the cheapest cities Of the
country in the matter Of illumination.
There are but two cheaper cities that We
know OF, Pittsburgh and Detroit. where
the priceis one dollar per lhou5and. Our
Steubcnville neighbors pay 50 90, our
Washington neighbors 81 80, and at Par.
kersburg they pay So so. At Zanesville
they pay 50 O3. Charleston, W. Va,
pays 81 90, with reduction Of % per
cent to those who settle during the first
i've jays Of each month.
i; will thus be seen tina: we have now
no reason to complain in the matter Of
gas. II water rents could be reduced to
the same economical standard We could
thea fairly congratulate ourselves on
living in Il city where two Of the cardinal
wants Of human existence, water and
light, were cheaply provided for.
As long, however, ss thirty dol.
lars and upward are charged 10
private families for the use of water, We
cannot be said to have conformed to the
general impression that the fluid which
quenches our thirst aud Cleanses our
persons and premises is an article OF
prime necessity, but rather to the idea
that II is Il luxury that should he libcr.
ally paid Tor by those who can afford to
enjoy its benefits.
