The Railroad Ordinance.

At the meeting OF Council, on Tues
day night, a resolution was adopted, IN
structing the Sergeant to enforce the
ordinance in relation To placing watch
men on the railroad crossings at EOH,
Twenty-iourth and Thirty-tiith streets.
This ordinance, which was adopted
December Il, 1873, or one year ago yes
terday, is as follows:
An ordinance to regulate the running
OF locomotives and railroad cars across
Twenty-iOurth, EoH and Thirty fifth
streets in the city Of Wheeling and to
REQUIRE the placing of watchmen at said
streets by the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
aOad company.
SEC. l. Be il ordained by the Council
of the City of Wheeling that the Baltl-
more and Ohio railroad company be and
it is hereby required to have a watch
man stationed from daylight TO dark on
each and every day ut its track, where
thev cross Twenty-fOurth, EOH and
Thirty-hfth streets in said city which
said Waterman shall give notice of the
approach OF all locomotives and trains.
SEC. 8. Be it further ordained, that
il the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany fail or refuse to comply with the
requirements of the first section ot this
or finance, no locomotives or trains pass
inc on its track or tracks at said Twen-
ty-fourth, Eof or Thjrty-iltth streets
shall be moved or run at said points at
greater rate of speed than
four miles per hour. Every
engineer or other person having in
charge any locomotive, who shall run
such locomotive across said street, in
the absence of q Waterman az such points,
at a greater rate Of speed than four miles
per hour, shall forfeit and pay to the city
Of Wheeling tine OF not less than five
nor more than twenty dollars.
SEC. 8. All fines imposed by virtue OF
this ordinance may DE recovered by
warrant, in the name of the city, before
the Judge of the municipal court.
There has been a great number OF
complaints against the rapid running Of
cars at these points, and several narrow
escapes by persons and vehicles, and It
was the latter which led to the intro
duction Of the resolution. The result
OF enforcing this ordinance will be
simply that ears will be run at lower
rates of speed, and no watchmen will,
of course, be placed at those crossings.
T. Arrests may be made, but in every in
stance there will be numerous witnesses
TO swear that the train was and was not
running above the prescribed rate, and
some interesting litigation will ensue.

ADJUSTMENTS.
RICHMOND AND Won BOYLE.


"Our Candidate" was presented for
the last time last night to a moderate
sized audience. The engagement Of
Richmond and Won Boyle can scarcely
be called success, and it really deserved
better. The owners are genuine COM
medians in their line, and their play
contains some really good things.
LAWRENCE BARRETT.
Reserved seats will be on sale at Lucas
music store, this morning, for "Yorick's
Love" on Saturday night, and there will
undoubtedly be the usual rush, as Bar
rett stands very high in the estimation
OF our Wheeling play-goers.
The Detroit Free Press, commenting
upon "Yorick" and its representation
in that city, says:
1t is quite probable that few OF last
nights audience were prepared TO see so
fine a work as "Yorick's Love" was
proved to be. Mr.. HOwells has certainly
enriched the dramatic literature OF the
language in giving us his version OF
Estebado's drama. No stronger play OF
modern origin has come to light on the
American stage in many years.
The brilliant American author, to
whom we are indebted for it, is to be
congratulated upon having achieved a
distinct and lasting success. 1t Is some
thing upon which Mr.. Barrett is also to
be congratulated that he has secured
such an enlargement of his repertory,
and while congratulations are in order,
those who patronize the drama should
be included in the general felicitation.
Indeed, it is to such excellent-nay,
great-plays as ."Yorick's Love- that
we must look for that elevation OF the
stage so long talked of and so ardently
desired whenever we take the discus
sion out of the realm of the Shakespe-
rian drama. If the English version OF
| "Don Carlos" which we are to see later
in the week, be equal of this, it may
safely he said that Lawrence Barrett Is
the most fortunate of contemporary
tragedians in his choice Of new ma
! terials.
Viewed in its entirety, the manner in
which "Yorick's Love" was presented
last night, is deserving of unstinted
praise. Every part was admirably cast
the action went with rush the mount
ings were peculiarly attractive, and the
story is one of absorbing interest, told in
a way that arouses a genuine enthusiasm
! for author as we'll as actor. Mr.. Barrett
! own part of Yorick is a notable study.
To say that he was well seconded by
the ladies and gentlemen OF the company
is the smallest tribute that could be
offered to the best general cast by which
the artist has ever been surrounded on
a Detroit stage.

The Pending Ordinance.

There was a great deal of disSatiSlac-
ton manifested in the Second Branch
of Council, on Tuesday night, over the
early adjournment of the upper branch.
The latter amended the pending ordl-
nance i'm relation to paying temporary
hands, and without waiting to see
whether or not the Second Branch
would concur, adjourned. The lower
branch dlsag reed and appointed COM
mittee Of conference, but when It went
TO meet a similar one from the First
Branch, it had adjourned.
There is a great interest attached TO
This ordinance, and the shabby conduct
of the First branch was loudly con-
demned. The rules require one branch
b notify the other before adjOurning,
but this was entirely ignored. IL Is
certainly reprehensible 10 keep this or
dinance thus pending. The sense Of
Council should be tested and the meas.
nre adopted or defeated at once.
An argument against its adoption was
that it cOnficted with section s. Of the
act incorporating the city. This Is As
follows:
IAN moneys received or collected for
the use Of said city shall be paid into the
city treasury, and shall not be with
drawn therefrom except as the Council
may order or prescribe"
But this is answered simply: Council
does order these certificates paid, m
passing the ordinance. Both the Street
Commissioner and Superintendent Of
the Water Works are anxious TO have
something done To relieve temporary
workers, and it is stated that Council
will DE again called at an early day.

A Wonderful Record.

Myraids of so-caled Specifics" and
"cures" for rheumatism have already
been brought before the public, and
MANY of them have even been endorsed
bv the certificates OF respectable and
prominent citizens, who have derived
benefit from such preparations. There
is no doubt that great many OF these
"liniments," "oils, etc, so widely adj
vertised and freely recommended for
rheumatism and painful complaints OF a
similar nature, have genuine merit, and
will relieve certain types OF the COM
plants named; but when rheumatism,
neuralgia, and kindred diseases have
become chronic and threaten serious re-
suits, YOU may rest assured that they
will help but very little. Although not
recommended as "infallible," the pecu-
liar qualities OF ST. Jacobs OIL especially
adapt 1t to those cases which may be
termed Chronic" and which have pre-
viously withstood all known Specific"
as well as the prescriptions OF the best
physicians.
We would mention, as an example,
the case OF Mr.. A. Heilman, editor OF
the Pittsburgh Republican. who suffered
with rheumatism for two years. After
vainly using all the best recommended
remedies, and exhassting the skill of the
most experienced physicians, without
even temporary relief, It required only
two bottles of ST. JACOBS OIL to effect
permanent cure. Mr.. G. HAM, a well
known citizen OF Youngstown, Ohio, Sc
cured for his wife who for twelve years
had been n constant sufferer from neu-
ralgia in the head, the services OF the
ablest physicians OF the land, but they
were unable to do anything for her; half
a bottle Of ST. JACOBS OH cured her.
Mr.. William Reinhart, ElmOre, Wis, re-
ports the case of a neighbor who for
twenty-four years had suffered so terri
riblv with rheumatism that, at times, he
could hardly move around Jew bot
ties of ST. JACOBS On cured him. TO
cap the climax" however, Mr.. A. Nei-
ger. of Taylorville, Pa, writes that his
mother, who had been a continual sui
ferer with rheumatism for the past thirty
wears. used one bottle of ST. JACOBS OIL
and was Immediately relieved OF all pain.
These are results which truly deserve TO
be brought to public notice, but they
are not exceptions, as will be seen by
the numerous other certificates from all
parts of the United States. Ii should be
the duty of every one to call the atten-
ton of his suffering friends and neigh
bors to this wonderfully efficacious pre-
paration, especially as the low price OF
20 cents a bottle places it within the
reach Of all persons, rich and poor.
