there would be chance of testing the sin
ccrity of the Republicans.
Various amendments were offered and
voted down, aod on the Gual passage of the
bill, the Grcenbackers mostly vot with
tho Democrats. Tho House thea, to pre-
vent tho introduction of general legislation,
adjourned till Tuesday.
WAsnINaToN, April 5.-The House
met at IL n. Nj. 10 continuance of fridays
session, aud immediately went into commit
tee Of the whole on the Army Appropria
tion bill. Sparks, of Illinois, called atten-
tcntion to an article in the Chicago intcr-
Ocean oontainiug on account of an inter.
view with President Hayes by Davis, of
Chicago, in which the latter gave the assu
rance that President would stand firmly
by the Republicans; that he had waited
upon the President, as requested, aud that
there is no reason to believe that the Prcsi
dent will dsappoiut the loyal people of the
country; for himself (Davis) he was cen.
listed f., the war" Sparks went on so say
! that it seemed that the President seemed
to hayo some spinai disease which rendered
it nc eccssary for the stawurt members of his
party to try to cure it. lIe asked fair
minded men to read the articles published
in tho great metropolitan journal of the
Northwest and say whether there was not
an effort made thereto cocrce the Presidrn,
into the oxtrc,nc measures Of the extreme
members of the party; and yet, in spite Of
all that, the oity Of UhicaSo had just given
Il Democrptic majority of 1923 to Carter
Harrison, -Four own Carter" he called
him, and that was characterized by the
Chicago Inter. Ocean as "vctory for
the Democrats and howlng rebels"
[Lnughiug.] In place Of putting ranrol
into the Presidents backbone all the mar
row and stiffness had been taken ont of the
Republicans. That Democratic victory in
Chicago was the first popular response
from Republican city, aud it was s.,,ling
in its character. "
Guswcll, of Wisconsin, reminded Sparks
that on the same day Wiconsin had given
an increased Republican, majority Of over

pondcd in manner that elected loud

Ancient Documents.

An antiquarian might be greatly in
terested in the work OF arranging the
city archives, which is now progressing
at the city building. Those old rooms
are not Pompeii or Herculaneum, but
some exceedingly interesting docu-
merits, at least TO our Wheeling people,
are daily exhumed from the chaotic
mass of dust and rubbish. Wheeling
did not run up like Chicago, but it does
seem strange atfifty years ago an cleo
ton only called out l56 votes for Mayor,
and cast for no less than seventeen diff
fe-ent men. Yet there are the two tai
Nv sheets upon which the count was
kept. They are not the ruled and print
ed forms in use to-day, but are
rough pieces of a parch-
ment-like paper. The clerical work
upon them, however, amarvel of neat
ness. The writing is almost like copper
plate, and the lines ruled for the head
ing are true and precise.
1t would seem that at that election,
lack Jacobs and Thomas Hughes tied
with $50 votes each, and that Jacobs was
afterwards elected by the Common
Council"
We were also shown 4 bundle OF Off
cial bonds during the years 1880 and
1885, and inclusive. The form differs
somewhat from that now in use, and is
entirely written, being without the
printing at present, leaving blanks for
names and figures. The resignation OF
Moses w. Chapline, as Mayor, and OF
several members of Council, are there,
in good preservation, the ink being as
clear as when first used.

ssTHE WHEELING MOKEs.
The Bad Give Away of a Waynes-
burg Paper. F.

The Waynesburg, Pa, Messenger, al
luding to the recent game OF base ball
there between colored mines, one from
this city and the other home club, in
Inmates that the dusky Captain is mo
account" 1t says of the Wheeling
crowd" that it seemed one-half cap
tains, and all very poor players-the
celebrated Peanut Scott doing as little
good, as any of his dusky crowd" ''The
game lasted near three hours" says the
Messenger, "and was a tame one through
out, the only interesting plays being
when Captain Jack Dyson, OF the Union,
opened the ball with big HEX and a
home run, and closed it in like manner.
The playing of the Union boys general
", was very fair, considering the fact OF
their non-practice. fhe Wheeling boys
batted and fielded miserably, used up
the hands of four or five catchers, and
got Waterlooed to the tune OF 81 TO g.
Mr.. J. II. Campbell satisfactorily UNI
piIed the game, and Sam Suttles scored
for the contestants, and also made the
biggest lick of the day when he scored
Dan Smith over the head with a base
ball bat under the erroneous impress
sion that he could knock him down at
one strike with both hands. The
Wheeling mokes took their defeat very
philosophically."

The Police Court.

With his snowy eyebrows twisted
into a double bOw-knOt, the General
sat, wrestling with knOtty problem.
His ewes were fixed upon a small,
brown insect painfully working It's way
up the sleeve OF tramp asleep IN the
corner, but from their absent express
sion il was evident his thoughts were
far away. Presently he went to his
desk, and, taking out pencil and paper,
began labOriOus effort OF sketChing
The insect mentioned above, had, by
this time, reached the tramp's neck and
awOke him, and going to the desk, he
leaned over the Generals shoulder and
asked for an explanation OF the hero
glyphies on the paper.
81 don't know YOU can understand, ]"
began the veteran, "but I'll try to eX-
plain. You see I'm the inventor and
manufacturer of new writin' fluid.

Nuf said on that. But what want is a
trade mark, particular mark that will

The General broke of in time TO turn
and see the pedestrian raise TO his lips a
bottle Of carmine ink that he had mis-
taken for blackberry brandy THIS was
more than the sunny temper could
stand, and he went for that tramp. By
the time the body was disposed
of, the Court made its appearance.
John Mack was the first victim. Tie
had been beating his wife, an ofense
that invariably aroused the ire OF the
Court. John groaned in spirit over the
lecture, but paid his so and costs and
left.
Elijah NARROW had been drinking
something stronger than water, and
looked shaky iron the effects. Two
dollars and costs were demanded OF him
and were paid.
Joseph Whitehair, Frank Loeffler and
Samuel Young, for firing gun within
the corporation, were fined and paid 81

The "Diurnal's', Trial Trim,

The steamboat that has been building
for the past few months for the Parkers-
burg trade, has been so far completed as
to allow a trial trip. This trip was
made on yesterday afternoon, and was
accomplished TO the entire satisfaction
ofall parties interested, and from all in
dications the new boat will be the fastest
on the upper Ohio, as well as marvel
OF convenience I'D comfort. Capt. John
Mcclure has for some time past
entertained the idea that boat
could be constructed in such manner
that the distance from either Parkers-
burg TO Wheeling, or the reverse could
be accomplished in daylight, and after
thoroughly studying the matter left an
order at Harmar, W Va, for the build
ing OF hull that filled the bill in his
eyes. This hull was built, il might be
said, under his immediate supervisor
and brought to this city TO receive the
machinery for her and the balance OF
her complement.
The following is her partial descrip-
ton: Length, PIP feet; beam, % feet;
depth of hold, A feet. The hull was,
as we have already said, built at Har-
mar, w. Va, by Knox; the machinery
bv A. j. Sweeney & Son, of this city;
the pipe work by Trimble q Horn
brook; the cabin by Hanes q Wilson,
and the furnishing will be done by e..
Mendel & Co. The cabin is large, airy
and neat. There are As state rooms. The
dining room of the boat is on the lower
deck in the rear of the warehouses, and
will be found superior to the old style:
that of dining in the cabin; this room is
reached by convenient stairs. The
eating will be on the European plan.
There are two 22-inch cylinders, 1
feet stroke, with double slide valves
balanced and having double posts or
openings. Her valve gears are regular
link motion. Her three boilers are each
Pc feet long and 80 inches in diameter,
with shells of steels, each with D lap
welded hues 8 and inches in diameter.
There are mud drums and . seam
drums.
She left the foot of Fourteenth street at
2P. NJ, with about 250persons on board 4,
among which were quite number OF
ladies. Capt. John Mcclure was in COM
mand, and Capt. Asa Booth acted as
pilot throughout the trip. Capts. Chas.
and J. q. Muhleman, Charley Booth
and other river men, accompanied the
party. The distance from this city TO
Bellaire was made in twenty minutes,
where coal was taken on, and the boat
then proceeded to Moundsville, where
quite while was allowed the passengers
to stroll through that temperance town,
and also to make some trit1ing changes
in the machinery. She left Moundsville
at 5 O'Clock and reached this city in a
little less than an hour and half. The
trip was considered an entire success by
her owners, and the entire boat and APP
pointments are entirely satisfactory TO
them. She promises great speed. She
is owned by Captains McLane and
Charley Muhleman, and has been leased
by them to take the place of the Ragon
in the Wheeling and Parkersburg Trans
portation Company. She will be Off
cered by J. q. Muhleinan, Captain (;
Alex. Voeckler, Clerk, and Louis Muhle
man, Mate. Her name is the "Diurnal,"
and she will probably be ready for BUSH
ness in two weeks.

Disorderly.

That portion of the city lying on the
hill side, east OF the Second ward mar
ket has been dubbed by certain persons
"hell'S half acre, name, which, if not
beautiful, is at least high-sounding and
appropriate. In that locality, a certain
amount OF lawlessness has always ex-
listed, and there is where, so it is said,
thieves and harlots most do congregate,
and it certainly has the reputation OF
being a good spot for an officer to keep
his eye upon. \ little row, the par
ticulars ofwhich are not given, occurred
there yesterday. Warrants for William
and Sam Hustleton have been sworn
out and placed in the hands of Officer
Davis, and the individuals mentioned
will show up at the police court this
morning.

Fell From an Elevator.

4 slight break in the hydraulic eleva-
tor at the wholesale grocery OF Joseph
Speidel x Co, about half after five last
evening, resulted in a severe injury to a
Young man named Charles Robertson.
The elevator was loaded with coffee in
boxes. and Robertson and a young man
named Lutz were upon it, when the as
cent was made. AS the platform reached
the second floor, something gave way
and il fell To the cellar. Robertson was
sitting on a box, and as the platform
passed through the first floor his feet
struck and he was thrown violently
against the crosS-bar, falling upon his
heal. A severe confusion and some
slight internal injuries, with the general
jar upon his whole system, are thereSults
of the shock. Lutz was standing upon
another box and fell to the cellar, the
inertia carrying him through the box
and scattering the coffee on all sides, but
leaving him unhurt. Robertson was Ia
ken home in a wagon, and a physician
summoned.
Ar examination Of the elevator dis
covered that the wire hosting rope had
pulled out of the socket at the end OF the
train of wheels in the cellar. The pre-
cautionary dogs" under the crOss-bar
of the platform, did not work, as the
rope was not broken, which is the con-
tingency for which they provide.
The accident may be easily repaired,
at which work number OF men were
engaged last night, and by this time the
elevator is probably in good order again.

Would Like to Know,

The Steubenville Gd.eite airs itself as
follows:
at would be a great relief to many
people if the Wheeling papers would de-
termine whether Felsing or Felsinger Is
the name of one of their local oarsmen.
They change it from one to the other
with almost as much regularity as the
sun rises and sets. The man himself
might be asked what his correct name is,
and il he doesn't know, his mother
surely will, il he ever had any"
The extent of opinion, and it ismerely
an opinion is that the name is Felsing:
But the man by any other name could
row rs well.

Another One.

Yesterday was another day, warm
enough to satisfy any body OF ordinary
appetite for summer. A brisk air was
in motion but it did not prevent the
mercury from making wild dash to get
out the top OF the thermometer and so
far succeeding as to reach three figures.
The sky was clouded over, for the most
part and a thunder storm was confident
iy expected for the afternoon. But is
missed connections and went some
where el,e, leaving US to broil slowly
and painfully. We can see some slight
compensation in the sutierings OF mar
tyr at the stake, who dies for his con-
victions. for his brief though painful
passage is from the trials and uncertain
ties OF earth, to the happiness ofheaven.
BIT why the innocent should suffer
with the guilty and be condemned to
lingering death by heat, is one OF those
inscrutable DEGREES before which we
stand mute.
Imagination is powerful thing, and
a knowledge of how hot it is often aug
ments the feeling. Our weather report
er, a late addition to the staff, crawled
out of a volcano OF a bed at seven o'clock
yesterday morning and found the mer.
curry at so. Duringthe nexth it had
mounted two degrees, and 9 o'clock
found it at 90. At 10 and IL it was 9S,
and by one had reached the dizzy height
of lOl. Then it rested until three,
when it dropped one degree. At four
O'Clock It marked 90; at five, 81, and by
six had dropped only three degrees, "a,
still obstinately clinging to the nineties.
By seven in the evening 81 had been
touched, and the record closed at nine
with SO.
