Various umo concerning the matter
were atloat yesterday, and to satisfy

in the right light before the public, a

Mr.. Miller, at his house, yesterday, and
from him learned that he had paid but
$3.50 OF the stake money TO O'Hanlon,
and that the other $3.50 was still in his
keeping. Mr.. Miller also stated that q
hearing OF the matter would take place
before Squire Phillips on next Saturday
afternoon. Some OF the outside bets OH
the race have been given up, but just
how the matter will be finally settled no

LAW N ORDER.

A Society Organized Jor the Purpose or
Enforcing the Sunday Statutes "A Big
Scheme.
From a gentleman connected with the
project a REGISTER reporter learned last
night of an extraordinary movement
that is about to be made in this city. 1t
appears that a certain element OF our
population is chatting under the so called
restraint that is placed upon the graft
fcation OF its desires, IN other words
this element is OF the opinion
that personal liberty" is as naked Of
meaning as a cipher; that a large
portion OF our population are deprived
OF exercising their peculiar ideas in re-
gard to certain matters. such as the OBJ
8 ryanc Of Sunday, the sale OF intoxl-
cants, etc etc, and under the present
statutes and ordinances they have no
remedy. with these things in VIEW
said our informant, Eve pre- pose TO try
another means OF remedy, and 1t is this:
We have organized a Law and Order par
ty or committee, il you chose to so term
/. The province Of this committee will
be to carry out the ideas Of the party, to
which it is attached. We have engaged
the best OF legal talent to advise US in
r gard to our movements and have an
abundance OF money to see us through.
And now for our method Of making
the present stringent Sunday
laws as obnoxious as possib G. We have
engaged about 81 or 10 men who nave a
thorough acquaintance CT the city and
all connected with it, and these men
we propose to use Is ''nosers" or detec-
tives. They will 60 around the city
and narrowly watch everything that
goes on, taking notes OF all those who
are liz any way breaking the Lords
Day. Street car drivers, railroad ell.
g%ineers, printers, newsboys, hack drlv'
ers, church sections, mill and factory
hands. in short, every one who is found
working on Sunday will be hunted up TO
answer for it, We intend to see how the
sticklers for Sunday observances will
enjoy a liberal construction OF their or
diuances and statutes. Now you have
an idea of our project, and it will be
carried out. We have the means, legal
ability, disposition, and we purpose Civ
ing the matter atrial. We want to have
it so people can work six days il they
want to, or seven if they so desire it.
We propose 10 make the PRESENT strin-
gent laws so obnoxious that they will
be repealed altogether, or so materially
modified that they will meet with the
hearty concurrence Of all classes OF
people"

Tine Fool That is Wise at Last" was
the title OF Col Dan Rice's lecture at the
theater last Saturday evening. The audi
ence was small but a~ppreclatiye. The
lecturer dwelt at length on the idiosyn'
cracies OF the human mind, and with
sudden jerks from one subject to another
threw in chunks Of philosophy, copious
doses Of satire, and liberal bldg. is Of
humor. He gave many comical reminis,
cences OF his life Of vagarles, telling OF
how he has ridden in the carriage OF
Louis PHILIPPE ~when..king of France,
played draw poker with Louis Napo-
leon, spared steamboats, of of sand bars
in the Ohio river, and related amusing

day Morning,

day Morning.
The Conversations held at the Wheel
ing Female College yesterday morning
was unusually brilliant and enjoyable.
The Hon. G. d. Hubbard presided,
and after a short pithy address intro
duced the Rev. Dr.. Cunningham, who
spoke for some ten minutes in a manner
that made all feel q desire to hear more.
The doctor spoke OF his own interest in
the institution, and expressed a desire
that every citizen Of Wheeling might
have a growing interest in the college.
The Rev. DR.. Sessler, rabbi at the syna.
gogue, spoke for a few moments, but he
ing a member Of the faculty, felt some.
what OF a constraint.
T.. S. Marshal Atkinson, always good,
delighted everybody with his address
yesterday morning.
The Rev. DIR. Steele gave seven rules
for study and development, which he
explained in a highly interesting man
ner.
Rev. W. B. Thomson on being intro
duced said that it afforded him I'M
bounded pleasure to have an opportu.
nifty to give the young ladies some good
advice.
The Rev. T. B Hughes made the clo-
ing address, and from the close attention
given it was abundantly manifest that
the reverned gentleman is a great favor
tie at the college.
After a few announcements from Miss
Taylor. the President OF the College,
the usual reception followed, and all
seemed to be at the height OF enjoy
ment as your reporter bowed himself

1t seems that the Synods Of

somewhat on this question, n section

fURrHBB PARTICULARS
Of the Railroad Dfsaster at Thornton OIL
Tuesday,

Of the Railroad Ui2aster nj Tnorntoh on
Tuesday,
The REGISTER Yesterday m~orning.pub.
lished u very full and graphic account
of the terrible accident that tool place
at Thornton, near Grafton, on the b. q
o. railroad the day before. This account
was verified yesterday, in conversation
with many persons who were elther on
the trains or had visited the scene OF h
disaster. There have been no deaths IN
addition to these already pub
lished. but the condition OF The
Rev. Mr.. LOTUS is such as to arouse
the ~liyeliest fears Of his friends.
He was badly scalded, and also badly
bruised and shocked by the collision,
and it is hardly likely that he will re-
cover. DIN Campbell, B. & o. rail:
road physician at Parkersburg, arrived
in the city yesterday, and reports the
probabilities OF the recovery Of the other
sufferert as most flattering. Many OF
them are not nearly so badly hurt as
was at first anticipated, and their re.
covery will rapidly result. A dispatch
TO thus Office early this morning gives
the following information:
"All are doing well. The physicians
think Miss Rector will recover, but
there are fears that the Rev. LOTUS can
not live. There are some doubts about
Moore's recovery. Others are doing
very WELL"
Conductor John Scott, OF the Cumber-
land Accommodation, left yesterday for
Baltimore to give his version OF the dis
aster to the B. & o. authorities. He has
been engaged in the service OF the COM
pany for many years, and has been one
OF its most trusted and faithful em-
ployes, working his way up from the
lowest position to one OF trust and au.
thority. The cause OF the accident will
be tho, orghly Investigated at once.
