Fourth Ward and its Five Points.

Much has been said, and many COM
ments have been made by the unln-
formed, and the uninitiated, about the
celebrated Fourth ward; and it has gen.
orally been looked upon, and conceded
10 be the Five Points in the city of
Wheeling. No greater injustice was
ever done people, that this unfounded
supposition, entertained, as 1t Is, by so
many people of our city. AS a whole,
the people OF the Fourth ward, will COM
pare favorably with any ward in the
city for good order and respect for law
and order. Some rough men are TO be
found there TO be sure, but not a larger
per cent. than is to be found in the
other wards. 1t must be remembered
that the Central Glass Works, the
Whitaker Iron Works, Hinge Factory,
the Tack Factory and many other man
ufactories are located there and employ
many hundreds of men and boys, who
are more or less rough and uncouth in
their manners, owing to that kind of
discipline which obtains anywhere in
our mills and factories.
The five principal points OF criminal
interest are these: First, the Maude
Stanley rancho, located on the corner of
Nineteenth street and Chapline. This
was once an attractive point for sport
ing men and women, but it is closed up,
and the Madame languisheth in durance
vile. The second is the renowned BED
Bug Row." occupied;by Kate Mooney
and other women of the same stripe.
Kate is in Jail too, and the tide OF crime
for a NNh % OF
least.
Next in order are the well-known
Lava Beds, tenanted by many noted
law breaking characters. This
is low den, too low
for the general average of sporting men
and women. The next low resort is to
be found along alley q, running from
alley II to alley 10, well known as the
Kate Ehrman ranch and Meloy shebang.
These constitute, perhaps, the most dis
orderly criminal rendezvous in the
ward. The most attractive and brilliant
"social evil" point in the ward is No. 81
Seventeenth street. This house stands
at the top OF the call, OF its kind, for good
order.
But these social ulcers do not consti-
tute the Fourth ward, and it must not
be Judged BY them. The great current
of the blood of society always contains
impurities, and they are bound to APP
pear as blotches upon the surface. Since
these have sprung up in this certain To-
cality, so let it be; they must come
somewhere. and must always be mat
ter of regret. Who can more deprecate
it than the good citizens whose neigh
borhood they infest? Therefore, let
those people so prone to call the Fourth
ward the Five Points" turn toward it
"a countenance more in sorrow than IN
anger" and congratulateitupon change
for the better, which is being gradually
wrought ont.

A Prospective Libel Suit.

While on our southern rounds yes
terdav, we overlook the rumor that
StOetzer 4 Weisgerber had entered suit
for libel against the IntelljgeRcer, fixing
damages at 5000. To find the truth OF
the matter, we called at the grocery OF
the firm and meeting the senior part
ner, a young man OF some twenty-one
wears. uueried: "IIave YOU entered
suit for libel against the InteHigGceri
"Not vet. BY the advice of counsel
we have postponed that until we settle
with Mrs. Ebberling."
"Do YOU intend to prosecute her"
81 guess we will, though nothing def
mite has been settled"
Leaving him we sought Mrs. Ebber-
ling at her saloon on Twenty-secOnd
street and asked:
ado YOU propose to prosecute Stoet-
yer & Weisgerber for incendiarism"
Her English was not very profuse,
but we understood her To say she was.
Her son Louis lives about six miles west
of here on the st. Clairsville pike, and
she intends waiting his advent, which is
expected at once.
In response to our inquiry as TO
whether she could prove her assertions,
she replied that she had plenty of proof
and from back room she tished out a
middle-aged German who corroborated
this statement, and added that he had
been the first to make the discovery.
The affair was stirring up considerable
talk on the South Side, yesterday.

Fire Department Notes.

"WeIl. know that Cleveland has as fine

as accommodating officers as you meet

Just say that" And that was not all,
for he talked for half an hour, eXtolling
the perfection of Cleveland'S system Of
fighting the flames. lie was evidently
we'll pleased.
We visited the new engine house in
the Eighth ward yesterday and found il
rapidly approaching completion. A few
final touches TO the carpenter work and
some finishing strokes and the building
will be ready for use and the finest in
the city. The second story contains
large room for meeting purposes rs well
as to serve for safe spot for return
ing board to count the returns from the
loyal Eighth. The two cells inthe south
east corner are boarded up and for the
good of the locality, may they long re-
main so.

How Loasns Nav Be Remedied.

The most intolerable nuisance in our
city is corner and street lOafing. More
BOYS and men are permitted to gather
and loaf at our street corners, and on
our streets and alleys, than any city or
town we ever saw. How can the evil
be remedied? We answer: Only by a
rigid enforcement of the ordinance
against loating; by arresting, without
distinction OF person, this class OF OF
Tenders. and compelling them to pay
fine. with the admonitiOn from the
Judge that for repetition of
the offence the fine will
be increased each time. This, we be-
lieve, is our only remedy. Let the pO-
lice try it awhile, and We think there
will be less loafng and less annoying OF
the people on our streets and places of
public resort.
From the market house IN the Second
ward to the Market street bridge, 1t is
almost impossible TO pass along, owing
to the crowds of young men which are
to be seen every night between the
above mentioned points. We hope to
see the ordinance promptly enforced,
and examples made OF the conspicuous
statues

Oh! Sweet Romance.

The Young man yet in his minority,
with great and undeveloped aspirations,
who has no romance in his soul, is fit
for various unmentionable things. On
Chapline street in this city, not mile
from Twelfth, is law office which con-
tIins a young man with melting soul
and heart overlooking with loves young
dream. In the long watches of the day,
his mind steals the first moment Of
forgetfulness, to wander off among
bright castles in the Spain OF his imagin.
ings. In these he has pictured his ideal
woman and now longs for the material
iZatiOn.
Yesterday morning letter was sent
to this city fOr Identification. 1t had
been received by a young lady of tender
years residing out the Baltimore road.
The signature was Harry j. Melton and
the address was that of the law office
noted above. Harry" wanted to open
a ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS somebody,
Young, fair and spirituelle, with whom
he could meet heart to heart and soul to
soul. A full description of the senti-
mental young man was sent the lady
and when Harry" sees this he will wish
ne had never been born.

AQUEOUS AFFAIRS.
The Coming Race between
Braceland and Powell.

Yesterday afternoon, a REGIsTEE
emissary dropped in at the Leasure
boat house, at the foot OF Fortieth street,
to gather any particulars to be had con-
corning the race to come off on Satur-
dav, between William Braceland, OF
that club, and Ed. Powell, OF the Column
bia, of Pittsburgh. He found several OF
the members, including Bracelan and
Gus. Hanke, his trainer, sitting about
the room discussing boating matters
generally and this race in particular.
"Braceland is all right, and you bet
he'll STAY" said Captain Hanke in re-
Spouse to our inquiry. "lf he don't
smash his boat he'll make good race.
He'sa regular smasher, and has torn up
several boats already" showing us one
in confirmation of his words. "Our man
is new and has never rowed profess
sional race before, while Powell has
pulled a great many, and he may get
scared when he gets out, but II he does
what we expect, he'll be all right. Come
back here and I'll show you his boat. "
We followed him and soon were look
ing critically at a shell, which he took
down from a rack and placed upon tres
ties. 1t is a paper shell, named the
civilian Seaton," manufactured by
Waters & Son, of Troy; it is fraction
short of thirty feet, with weight OF 81
pounds. 1t was used by Luther at the
time of his defeat by Eph MOI ris, and is
in excellent condition. Braceland
will use a pair OF John
son spoon oars, 10 feet in length,
and weighing pounds. His colors
will be red trunks and white shirt and
his weight about l5S pounds. The
referee has not vet been selected, nor
the final deposit of stake money made
vet. but both will be done this evening.
Later in the afternoon we slid down
the bank of ashes at the mouth OF the
creek and brought up at the Z. L.
Brown boat house, where Powell Is
making his headquarters. The oarsman
was absent, but We were enabled,
through the kindness OF some gentle
men present, TO obtain the information
we desired.
Powell is being trained by Messrs.
Brown and Hooper, OF the Columbia
club, and will turn the scale at l47
pounds. His boat is the one in which
he won over Morgan recently
1t is OF Maxwell's make, cedar,
81 feet in length and weighs 30
pounds. He will use a pair OF
Coulter's oars, nearly 10 feet long and
exceedingly broad in the blade. His
color will be all blue.
During our visit, Weisgerber and
Clator went out for squirt on the
water, and their clear, clean strokes
were the objects of admiration to a clus-
ter of barnacles seated on the logs near
by. A rumor has gained some credence
to the effect that Eph. Morris will come
down and train Weisgerber, but we
were assured that such was not fact.

bring their very best meninto active ser
vice in their conventions. That is the
proper way to do effective work. The
