LOUD LUNATI0.
Prospect Of q Speedy Relief at
the Jail

There have been complaints innumer.
able, recently, against the lunatics con.
fined in the county Jail. and with good
cause, too. Persons living in that
neighborhood are constantly disturbed
BY them and at all hours OF the night
and day. Lawyers in Blackstone Row,
while deep in consultation with their
clients, have been suddenly startled
from their boots by sudden and unearth-
ly yells from the Jail. There was an in
dividual, since deceased, who was par
ticularly annoying. He had q power.
full pair OF lungs, and his voice would
roar out at the most inopportune mo.
ments. He interrupted proceedings
at the courts; broke in on the judges
charge to the jury; insulted lawyers
during their arguments and was ter.
ror to rising young attorneys. But
he cid. His place is ably
filled by succe sor, however.
No one can be blamed for this state
OF affairs. The hospital at Weston is
crowded to overlooking, and could take
no more patients, and every county IN
the State was afflicted similarly to ours.
At the last session OF the Legislature q
large sum was appropriated to complete
the unfinished wing Of the Asylum. and
the work has since then been steadily
progressing. We viii coon be relieved
Of our lunatics and peace will once more
reign in the distracted region OF Black
stone Row.
DR.. I. B. Camden, OF the Asylum, was
10 the city, Yesterday, and q reporter
tNk occasion to relate to him the state
OF affairs here and enquire when We
might expect relief.

would he completed by the LIST OF Sep.

He expects the new wing will accom-:

RIVERSIDE NOTES.
Among wheeling Oarsmsn-
What n Being Said and

What II Being Said and
Done.
Boating matters were never more duii
in this city than they are at the present
time. No one seems to take any inter
eat in AQUATIC affairs, and quite ripple
of excitement was occasioned among OLD
river men over the appearance IN tne
advertising columns Of Tuesdays NEG.
IsrER of challenge from Vim. Poppert,
Of the Schultze boat club, to John Bar
rett. formerly OF the Nail City club, TO .
race of three miles in best and best boats
for a purse Of $3.50 a side.
Wednesday night was the time set TOT
the meeting, and last night q reporter
hied himself to Sheekey's saloon, where
he found Poppert with his friends
Can't. Ed. Blattner and Mr.. Theodore
Orem, awaiting the arrival OF Barrett and
his friends. At quarter past nine they
had not appeared, and it looked very
decidedly as though Barrett did not want
ANYTHING to do with Poppert.
Poppert is young man about six ioot
tall. and weighs now LIS pounds. His
rowing weight would be about loo
pounds. He is employed in the
boiling department Of the Belmont
mill. Last season he took first
prize in a regatta at Pittsburgh, the prize
being 500, which he invested in shell.
He is considered good puller, and the
Schultze boys are rather proud OF him:
They want to get Hp race and say II
any one will challenge them, they will
do their best to accommodate them.
What Barrett had to say is not known,
as that gentleman could not be found.
II is said, however, that he has about
given such matters up.
The Leasure boat club have picnic
at Tallman's orchard, below West
Wheeling, two weeks from next Satur-
day and they will also have
regatta. The main prize will
be silver challenge emp, to be
competed for by any oarsmsn from any
CLUB, the person winning il to surrender
it to his club, who shall hold il until
they are challenged for it, then they
must row some man for it.
The only entry that has been heard
OF for this race so far is John Ritz, OF the
North End boat club, club, by the way,
that is pegging along in quiet but en-
ergetic manner and has some good ma
terial.
The Schultze boat club give apicnic
at Tallman's Grove next Saturday after
noon.
Capt. John Ray, in conversation with
the reporter, Yesterday, expressed his
admiration for the Eastern and Canadian
oarsmen and their style, and Sc. med to
be OF the opinion that it was simply USE
less for any OF our oarsmen to challenge
or accept any challenge from those par.
ties until the Wheelingites had got it
down to finer point than they have at
present.
The general complaint is-the mills
have been closed so long that We have
not got the money we used to have to
risk on races, but look out for next sea.
SON and we can beat Pittsburgh every
time

FUNDING THE DEBT.
The Amount the City Will BOr-
row.

As has been several times intimated
in these columns, the city treasury has
reached its last resource and TO meet
necessary expenses a loan must be ne.
gotiated. Financially the city is in good
condition. Her bonded Indebtedness
has been rapidly lightened during the
past few years-too rapidly, many per-
sons think, rs the burden is borne by
those who will not get the full beneht
OF the. Improvements. But now 1t has
become necessary to issue bonds. Mr..
Caldwell's resolution, looking to that
end, is as follows:
WHEREAS, The revenues OF the city
for the current fiscal year have been ex-
hausted by the current and extraordin-
ary expenses OF the city corporation,
and
WHEREAS, Ii will be necessary for
Council 10 make some provision for the
pavment OF deficiencies already existing
ana further deficiencies which must nee.
essarily occur; therefore,
Resol,ed. That the Finance Committee
be instructed to ascertain the probable
sum of such deficiencies for the current
fiscal year and report an ordinance pro-
yiding for loan, by which the same
NAV be funded, preparatory to submit
ting the same to vote OF the citizens.
To ascertain what amount would be
probably needed, reporter called vt
the city building, yesterday afternoon,
ard conversed with Clerk Updegraf and
Receiver Todd. Figuring that the COM
mittee expenses for the remainder oil
this wear will be the same as for cor
responding time last year, and adding
this SUN to the deficit now existing, will
make. in round numbers, s93, 900. 1t is
probable then that the Finance Com
mi,tee will ask for 100000.
This amount, as was ascertained can
be borrowed without exceeding the
charter limit. The charter OF the city OF
Wheeling provides that the city may
issue bonds to an amount equal to 5per
cent. Of the assessment, for State pur-
poses, OF the real and personal property
OF the city. The reporter ascertained
from Assessor Ankles books that the
total assessment for 1879 was $l3, 92o,-
Five per centum OF this sum amounts to
$685., 272, the amount OF the bonded in
debtedness the city may incur.
At the City Clerks office the reporter
learned that the amount OF bonds still
outstanding on January LIST, was about
SOL 900. Some OF these have since
been redeemed, leaving the bonded in
debtedness, to day, about S525, 600 in
round numbers. From these figures it
will appear that the city may still bor-
row Si7l,OOO, without exceeding her
charter limit.
