Ohio Valley Protective Union.

This association located in our city
but a few doors from our office, is hay
ing a wonderfully successful growth. 1t
has worked quietly along and many OF
our citizens do not know OF its exist
ence, but it promises 10 be one of the
great Beneficial Associations OF the
country. During the month OF March
applications were received for $4,000,
Arril 100000. The first twelve days in
Nav 50, 500, or 4 total oi S324, 800 since
the first day OF March. 1t is rapidly
establishing agencies and meeting with
marked favor.
In the ten months of the association 5
existence there has been but one death,
the assessment on which has been very
promptly paid.
The plan by which the association is
enabled to furnish a specific benefit Is
approved by all candid men who have
given the subject any thought, as pos
seSsing equity, economy and safety.
All the benefits that life insurance
companies promise can be enjoyed by
the holders of certificates of member
ship in this Association at about one
third of the cost OF the former, leaving
the other two-thirds in the hands Of the
members with which they may prose
cute, prolong and enjoy the pursuits Of
life.
This Association issues certificates OF
membership to none but healthy per
sons, not residents OF a Southern mala-
rial section, nor to persons whose occu-
pations subject them to extra risk.
The management OF the Association is
in the hands of gentlemen well and
favorably known here for intelligence,
integrity and other qualities watch have
and will continue to command the con-
fidence Of all classes.

The Saratoga Assembly.

Several OF our citizens, besides the
delegates proper, left on the "Pewikey
Yesterday afternoon to attend the Gen
eral Assembly OF the Presbytery to be
held at Saratoga Springs on Thursday.
The delegates were Elders Bone and
Clark and Rcvs. Daniel Williams and
DR.. John Stockton representing this,
the Washington PreSbytery, which en-
braces Washington county and the Pam
handle. Among the eXcursionists were
Miss Maggie OFT, Mrs. DR.. Cunning
ham and Mrs. q. l.. Cranmer. The As
scmblv has no important business or
trials left over, but something OF interest
will doubtless transpire.
The excursion will be a most pleasant
one, including, as it does, that most de-
lightful of trips, a ride up the beautiful
Hudson. Philadelphia and New York
will be visited, but not the resorts, most
OF which do not open until June LIST.
Special rates at 81 per day have been
agreed upon at Saratoga, and the trip
will thus be 4 not great expense.

THE Onern House Tonight.

4 rare entertainment will be afforded
our citizens who are fortunate enough
to secure seats to the Chlldren's Home
anniversary tonight. The exercises by
the children were really beautiful at
the rehearsal yesterday, and the an
nouncement that Kramer's orchestra
will be on hand and that Miss Nellie
Sweeney, Miss Tracy and Mr.. {. y.
Lucas will sing, will draw an immense
audience aside from the deep interest
the home has in the hearts OF the people.
We are requested to ask the return of
such tickets us may have been secured,
and will not be used, to the music house
of c. Y. Lucas. The directors OF the
home recently elected will meet at 3 p NJ.
to-day at the office of ID. c. List, Jr., to
furnish every detail to render the an
niyerSary tonight just what it ought to
be, and the directors and managers are
requested to be on the stage at quarter
10 ) o'clock this evening.

Mr.. Grafton informed us that since

The indications now are that large
party will 90 from here to witness the
operetta at Mt. tie Chantal tomorrow
night, and their excursion will not be
i'm vain. Every one who has ever at

cheerlullv endorse any compliment to
the good taste and skill with which
their performances are given. Unusual
care has been bestowed upon this one
and treat is in store for all who attend.
The wonderful voice of the Directress is
of itself sufficient inducement to be
present, and lovers Of fine music will
be gratifed to know that the Operctta
contains many Of the best selections
known. The train will leave the depot
at i'm the evening and return at 1890.

Only Scare.

In going the rounds yesterday, it was
said i'm our hearing that Wheeling
would be sure to pick up the yellow
fever this summer; that it had only
been "scotched' i'm the South, and
would break out with renewed vigor
and certainly find its way here. That
man is booked by the fool-killer and
had better take out a policy on his life.
Even allowing that the South will be
again inflicted with this Scourge, and
there is no evidence that it will, why
should Wheeling take it? The city was
never ina better sanitary condition and
the work Of improvement is still going
ON. Filth Is food 10 fever and clcanli-
ness its worst enemy. We are well
prepared, and with ordinary watchiul-
ness and strict quarantine laws need
fear no visitation

THE EAST WHEELING CASE.
The City Prison.

Editor of the Register.
Having noticed the articles recently
published in the Democrat and Sunday
LeaStr regarding the management OF the
city prison, the escape OF prisoners, &c,
| would say that have lived adjoining
the premises for several years, and have
had very good facilities for judging OF
its management both past and present,
and must say that consider the pres
ent incumbent MIR. Stanley the most
efficient superintendent it has ever had.
Heretofore it has been almost impossi-
bic to sleep until after nine o'clock,
there being so much noise from the IN
mates hallooing and singing, and it was
the general complaint OF all the neigh
bors living in close proximity to the
prison. Now it is quiet and orderly,
both day and night, and one would
scarcely know that it was prison eX-
cept they saw the prisoners passing to
and fro from their work. The sanitary
condition | know was never so good as
at the present time, Mr.. Stanley having
thoroughly renovated it and it
now presents avery clearly appear
ance As regards escapes it was nothing
unusual under any of the past manage
ment to see six and eight prisoners
coming through the windows in the
roof and tumbling down in front of my
door and one day, remember particu-
larlv, there were eighteen and | never
saw mention OF it in any paper.

A Bad Place.

Mr.. George Keller, a brother Of the
senior partner OF Keller x Schreiner,
writes from Denver in a way scarcely
calculated to induce an exodus in that
direction. He says the death rate aver
a. fifty per day and in some
places as high as sixty-fve, and
that whenever he goes to
the depot he can see numbers of poor
fellows being shipped home for burial.
From his account, then, Leadville and
other places in Colorado may be good
places to get rich in, but certainly better
to visit 10 die Stay at home and sell
fish at war prices, five cents pound, -
but don't 90 to Colorado to become a
corpse.
