FILTHY WHEELING.
Disease Invited by its Condition
More East Wheeling Talk
Still Harping. s.

This land of ours might be travelled
over far and wide and its cities In
spected keenly and closely before one
would be found that could wrest from
Wheeling its claims to the title OF "hlthy
city," Nor could one be easily found IN
which is exhibited less public spirit and
municipal pride It's condition is mat
ter of comment for every traveller whom
fate drives within its corporate limits,
and is blot upon name made famous
by its commercial Importance. That
disease turks within its filth is not
to be wondered at; standing
invitation is given to epidemic and
plague and the only wonder is that We
have so little. Bad streets, bad alleys,
worse cutters and worst drainage and
sewerage characterize it every where
and the deficiency OF the latter is notice
able even where the most natural adj
vantages are offered. There is an ordi-
dinance in relation to draining into
sewer and not upon the surface and the
question is asked why il is not en-
forced. Because there are no sewers to
drain into.
In East Wheeling, where the diph.
liberia is raging, the absence OF
drainage is most conspicuous, as
well as the absence OF other
imperative improvements and there Is
where disease runs riot. Not only dlph-
liberia, but other diseases, SO physicians
say are most prevalent there, and those
who never visit the Fourth ward have
no adequate idea Of its condition. Filthy
is the only word that will fifty express
il. The street contractor cannot be
blamed for the foul water that will not
run off or for the kitchen drainage that
flows into the alleys only to sink into
the sand and breed the germs OF disease,
and from that part OF town the cry goes
up for sewerage and relief.
The REGISTER met Health Officer kd-
wards, Yesterday, and questioned him
on the matter. He was fully alive To
the situation as well as to the cause and
relief. Said he: 81 knew nothing OF
the physicians petition until | saw
it in the papers, but their plan is the
one | advocated long ago. We
must have system of deep sewerage.
| believe the accounts of diphtherla are
exaggerated, but still they are bad
enough. The improvements necessary
will not weigh against the life OF one
child. cannot fight the effects OF com
bined damp sewers and foul alleys. If
had my way would isolate every case
OF diphtheria at once"
City physicians are unit on this
question, and all inveigh against the
city generally and the Fourth ward par
ticularly. Something must be done
and that speedily. The Street Commits
sioner has been ordered to clean the
grass and weeds from the cutters so as
TO allow the stagnant water an opportu-
nifty OF passing OIL. This is step in the
right direction, and il the Board of
Health will adopt vigorous measures
and properly place the situation before
Council, they may yet be regarded with
favor by the people.

MINES AND MINERS.
Some Facts and Suggestions.

Correspondence oil the Register.
WHEELING, September >, 1879.
Will you, through the columns Oiyour
paper. allow me to lay before your read
ers Il few facts with respect to mines and
miners with view TO stimulating action
on the part of miners and their friends
TO a more ehectual enforcement OF the
laws already existing which govern min
ing, and for obtaining such other lawsas
NAV be necessary for the health and
safety of the miners. Ii is palpable
fact that great portion Of our miners
are compelled to breathe very impure
air on account of i'll ventilation OF the
mines in which they are working, and
the bent form and twisted frame, and
haggarl look, are too sure signs OF negIl-
gence in this respect. That miners labor
under greater disadvantages than any
other class OF operatives is generally ac-
knowledged, and that the calling is one
OF continual and heavy labour requiring
large amount OF strength to follow it
up. 1t is, or ought 10 he, the duty Of
every operator to see that the mine is
thoroughly ventilated and the mines
supplied with the best air that IT is Dos
sible to give him. Another disadvant-
ace the miner labOrs under is the want
OF a standard. There are but few peO-
pie aware of the injustice OF this want.
4 walk around few of the coal
mines Of this city, would convince the
most skeptical that change in this re-
speCt is necessary and much needed.
There is no standard system adopted,
but each one makes his cars as seems
best for himself, and often two or three
different sized cars are in one mine.
Now, we want universal system, either
of weight or meaSurmcnt, and ii weight,
then our Legislature ought TO pass an
act limiting the size of the screens that
the coal has 10 pass over before 1t Is
weighed; and il mcasurment, the cars
should be measured and branded by the
Scaler of Weights and Measures, so that
the miners can know how much coal
they are filling, and he placed on 4 par
basis with other workmcn.
Another gigantic evil under which
the miner labors is the store system,
and though limited in this city it is still
practiccd by some. That this system
needs abolishing no one thinking man
will dispute, az the prices charged in
these stores are often from - 10 ~ per
cent. dearcr than the market price. But
until miners awake and organize for la
bor protection and political purposes,
thew must expect to labor under all the
disadvantages OF which they 50 justly
complain. Singlv they are helpless, and
only by combined Capitalization Of
forces, and by using the ballot box dis
crimnatcly can they expect to perma-
nentlv remove the evils enumerated.
But this must be a subject for my next.
As USUAL.

HCnvaat Emntnr -

A curious and amusing case was
tried before Justice Caldwell, yesterday,
in which a bovine took a prominent
part. John c. Hervey, an Island tObaC-
conist, swore out warrant for John
Jones, charging him with obtaining s.
under false pretences. Jones had a
COW and calf which he wished to dispose
of. Hervey had a dry COW OF which he
was equally anxious to be clear, and a
trade was finally made, Hervey paying
s. boot. Hervey afterwards ascertained
that the calf was only the
foster child OF the COW and that
the latter was not as fresh as
he alleged Jones claimed former. Jones
was willing to rue the swop ii Hervey
would 90 after the COW. Thistle latter re-
fused and brought suit. Capt. Dovener
appeared for the plaintiff and II. B. Fer
guson, Esq, for the defense.
The case was well managed and ably
argued. The maxim OF cGuedt cmptOr
(let the buyer beware) was applied by
the defense, and the prosecution banged
law books about amazingly. The JUS
tice reluctantly decided TO hold the de-
PENDANT, though he admitted it was
rather "hard luck" and but trifling Of
tense. He was endeavoring TO effect a
compromise at last accounts.

FEMALE COLLEGE.
Opening Reception Yesterday
Morning.

As high up as this institution stands
geographically, so does it hold
a corresponding place among our edu-
cational forces; and free as it is from the
dust and smoke OF the city, so is it also
clear of any impurity and objection in
its manner and course OF rearing and IN
structing. For thirty years it has held
its varied course, and now, after many
fortunes and reverses, it seems to stand
in the zenith OF its property, than
which no higher compliment could be
paid its present management,
Its spacious parlors and halls were
well filled Yesterday morning on the oc-
casion of its annual reopening. Despite
the early hour OF 9 A. NJ, an unusually
large audience of friends was present,
among whom We noticed Hon. &. d..
Hubbard, Rev. White, OF the Chapline
street NJ. +. Church, Hon. q. l.. Gram
mer. Prof White, of Harvard UNIVERSE
tv, DR.. Jepson, DR.. Stone, Mr.. and Mrs.
Shaffer. of Preston county, Mrs. Hannah
and Mrs. Grouse with their daughters,
Mrs. II. +. Smith, of Clean, y. y, be-
sides many others whose names We did
not know, but who were evidently
strangers with "schoolable daughters
Hon. c. d. Hubbard, President OF the
Board of Trustees, presided, and in his
opening address paid glowing tribute
TO Col. ThOs. HOrnbrook, who has so long
been identified with the institution, and
TO whosegenerositya and energy ltss success
is largely attributed. He called atten-
ton to a magnificent bouquet on the
rostrum, Col. HIS gift, and drew out
the sympathy of all of his hearers.
Judge Cranmer made very able adj
dress on the subject of character build
ING, and was followed by Prof. White,
who spoke many words oil wisdom and
counsel.
Mr.. Hubbard, in closing, said he had
been closely identified with the Acad-
envy for the past thirty, years,
and had never seen 1t look so
inviting and attractive in every depart
ment This statement is certainly 4
very fiattering compliment to the pres
ent administration. Mr.. Hubbard has
been the head and shoulders of this in
stitution for many years, and he knows
whereof he speaks.
The College opens its thrtieth year
under circumstances of great prosperity
The boarding school is full to overflow
ing, fact of success which is most graf
living to all the friends OF the College.
The Institution is taking every year a
higher rank in scholarship, and is des-
tined to be recognized hereafter as one
of the chief forces in our great educa-
tiOnal work.
