in the town. There are thirteen stores

school houses and three churches. The
town government is the same as that OF
the surrounding country outside OF in
corporated limits, the officers consisting
Of a township constable and justice OF

town and the constable about three
miles from town. The sanitary
condition OF the place is not good,
and as there is no way by which the
situation can be bettered it cannot do

Wheeling, it would not be right to tax
the mills in the interest Of local govern

receive, as they claim, direct benefit,
and for this reason bitterly oppose any
attempt to incorporate the place. IL
the mill owner lived here they would
favor the incorporation OF the town, but
as they do not reside here, the residents
OF the town are not entitled TO such
regulations as would better the sanitary
condition OF the place and give the peo-
pie the advantages OF law and order.
However, ii the mill owners were not
80 hostile, there would still be
great obstacle to overcome in
the way OF any change from the present

bridge in the town, and as the owners
Of the bridge do not reside here il would
not be right TO tax their property in the
interests of local government, as they
would derive little or no benefit, being

OF Inspection Of Models for the Fair
Buildinsa
On Monday last, Messrs John Nc.
Lure. George r Jingle, q. Ed. Mendel
and William H. Exley. the Committee
on Buildings and Grounds OF the State
Fair association, left on tour Of inspec-
ton OF the various buildings of the fair
grounds OF some Of our neighboring
cities, with view to putting into prac-
teal use the Information and ideas there
obtained. The cities of Cleveland, To-
ledo, Columbus, Sandusky, Erie and
Pittsburgh were visited and the exposi.
ton grounds inspected. The buildings
end methods of disposing them upon
the grounds at Columbus and Erie were
most satisfactory, and the committee
will recommend the adoption OF plans
upon scale somewhat similar.
The gentlemen returned on Saturday
night, pretty well exhausted, but much
pleased with the trip and the kind atten-
ton paid them. As to the latter, the
Sandusky Register says:
Capt. Jno. Mcclure and Mesars. Geo.
r Tngle, WIN. H. Exley and g. r
Mendell. all solid capitalists and promi-
nent citizens OF Wheeling, spent yester-
day in our city, devoting the day TO
sight seeing. These gentlemen with
other citizens OF Wheeling have formed
a West Virginia State Fair Association,
on stock basis, purchased q valuable
tract OF 25 acres at the south point oil
Wheeling Island that divides the Ohio
between Wheeling and Bridgeport, and
are this season TO erect the build
ings and fit up the grounds for
the Associations first annual
exposition, which will be held
from October 3 to 8. The gentlemen
mentioned inspected the Ohio State lar
grounds at Columbus on Thursday ana
spent all of Friday afternoon on the
Erie county fair grounds. To say that
thew were delighted with Erie's grounds
is putting it mild. They were simply
ssionished to see the splendid improve
mepts and general arrangement oil build,
ings, grounds, track, etc. They said
that they had seen nothing to compare
with Erie s fair grounds anywhere. They
had been from Harrisburg, Pa, to c.
lumbus, and before leaving took meas.
urements, plans, etc with a view to
model some of their buildings and ar
rangement of grounds after Erie coun-
tvs. In the afternoon the party on in
yitation visited the celebrated vine
cellars OF General Mills, west
OF the city, where, under the guidance
OF Major Harry Mills, they were shown
the novel process OF wine and cham
page manufacture, and saw nearly five
hundred thousand bottles OF the famous
Sans Pdreil. pecks down and corks in,
gong through the last stage OF age be-
fore shipped into the market to cheer
but not inebriate. How many bottles
they saw with necks up and corks out
our reporter did not learn, but Exley,
who seemed to have the morals OF the
party especially in his keeping, said
counting on such an occasion was en-
tirely wrong. The Wheeling gentlemen
expressed themselves under many obli-
cations to Major Mills for his hospitality.
Later in the day they took sail on the
bay, and last evening lett for Cleve.
land to inspect the Northern Ohio fair
grounds.
