TEMPERANCE TALK
At the Academy of Music Yesterday
Afternoon.

At the Academy OF Music Yesterday
Afternoon.
The temperance people apparently are
not discouraged to that extent that they
will quit their work, over the defeat OF
the Constitutional amendment question
in the Senate last Thursday, at least the
large and enthusiastic temperance meet
ing held in Washington Hall yesterday
afternoon would not indicate that such
was the case. The meeting was hastily
gotten up Saturday evening, and
the announcement made in the
Sunday papers, yet that was enough
to fiji the house to OVERLOOKING.
A. half-past three o'clock Rev. G. p.
Masden, who had charge, came forward
and invited members of the Legislature
to seats on the platform; he made short
address also, encouraging the people to
renewed efforts and the throwing off OF
any feeling of indifference; he also
looked ahead into the future and saw
the temperance cause in glorious con
dition.
The speaker ofthe afternoon was Hon.
E.G. Cracraft, who, although he came from
a sick bed, never made more enthusiast
tic or better speech on the subject in
his life. The temperance cause in thi,
city owes great amount OF its success
to this gentleman; for the past four
years hardly Sunday has passed that
he has not spoken to some Unions in
this city. Always with kind word or a
helping hand to those really trying to
reform, he has became a favorite and
his appearance rs well as his speech was
received with tumultous applause.
Mr.. Cracraft at times spoke as though
Inspired, and his speech in parts was
electrifying.
He spoke for nearly an hour, and was
followed by Senator Dawson, OF Preston
county, who compared the defeat OF
Thursday to the first Bull Run, but
the future would result in glorious
Appomstox. This was the smile he
used.
The singing was remarkably good
and spirited under the leadership OF
Mr.. Hamilton Hill, with Mr.. Frank Por-
ter at the organ. These Sunday after
noon meetings at the Academy are be-
coming quite feature in Wheeling's
temperance work.

RIVER RIPPLES.

on the Water.
Yesterday afternoon the river COM
menced rising rapidly, and at o'clock
indicated Is feet6 inches and still COM
ing up on the gauge. The usual Sunday
dizziness continued on the wharf, but
Saturday was very lively day in the
local freight line. The boats generally
were detained by heavy business and
the fog.
The Hudson passed up about | o'clock
yesterday morning, and will be down
to-day some time before noon.
The Diurnal is the regular Parkers
burg packet for this morning.
The st. Lawrence leaves Cincinnati
tomorrow and will arrive here in time
to make her regular trip next Saturday
night. 1t will be welcome sight to see
her familiar proportions again.
The Andes has gone to Pittsburgh but
will be down 80 as to leave on her old
time, 3 p. NJ tomorrow. After so long
spell OF idlaness it is hoped she will
spring at once into her old trade and
make things lively. Merchants should
be sure and have their freight on hand
promptly.

SLIDING LAND.
Shifting and Resrranging Of tho Bank Of
the Creek.

Shifting and Resrranging Of tho Bank Of
the Greek.
The recent high water in the creek has
had a disastrous effect upon that por.
ton OF its banks which is known as
"made ground" In many cases this
earth was saturated and has since fallen
by its own weight. A notable instance
OF this, was the slide at the east end Of
the Hempfield bridge, notice OF which
has already been made.
But still more serious one occurred
on Saturday morning, which in likely to
occasion loss to property. 1t extends
from the culvert at the north end OF the
Market street bridge, to a point oppo-
site Chapliue street. Smaller slides, re.
sulting less seriously, are reported to
have occurred further out.
On Chapline street two frame houses
belonging to Mrs. Bridget Cabill and
another frame house belonging to Thos.
Hughes, susered materially from the
sudden change OF foundations, one OF
Mrs. Cahilrs houses being twisted out
OF shape and almost overturned. The
frame kitchens attached to +. c. Win.
gcTIcf UIlCk HOuoeo vi LiSutccutn
street were also dropped down a couple
Of feet, and two houses belonging to
Margaret Freiry suffered somewhat
from the slide. Near the Market street
bridge the bank for several feet back
dropped clear down into the creek, and
near Mrs. Cahill's the slide was divided
into three sections about three feet each
in depth, and the ground was rent with
deep assures at each "step." The loss
to property could not be estimated, but
will no doubt be considerable.
Last night Mayor Ergerter, seeing the
danger which might result should the
slide extend further in toward Six.
teenth street, ordered Street Commits.
sioner Stephens to give the matter his
attention.

HAPPY PILGRIMS
.WDl Soon Start for the Shrine OF National
Devotion-The Baltimore and Ohio
Ready for All.

VIM Soon Start for the Shrine OF National
Devotion-The Baltimore and Ohio
Ready for Ali.
Next week the grand pilgrimage for
Washington sets in and promises to be
larger than ever known before in the
country's history. The plans arranged
and perfected by the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company for the transporta-
ton OF people from the West to Wash
ington aud between Washington and
Baltimore, have very materially simph.
fed matters, and since they have been
fully understood many persons have de.
cided to 90 who have for some time re-
NAMED in doubt as to just what they
would do. The fact that the Baltimore
and Ohio is the only direct line toWash-
ington, and that its trains reach there
fully half day in advance Of the fast
est trains by other lines, has led TO the
resolve on the part OF very many to go
via that route. In order TO satisfy all
the demands made upon the road,
the management has added very
largely to the equipment, and the daisy
Train which leaves here at night and
which arrives at Washington at noon
the next day, will be run in us many
sections as are necessary to accommo.
date all who desire to 60. The round
trip tickets at exceedingly low rates will
be placed upon sale by the Baltimore
and Ohio on Tuesday, March LIST, and
will remain on sale that day and We'd
nesday and Thursday. For the return
trip these tickets will be good up to the
last train on the night of the seventh.
As the limit OF the tickets will thus be
noted to be but week, the advantage OF
taking the Baltimore and Ohio trains
will be all the more apparent By so do
ing the passenger gains a day on the
round trip, as the "Daisy Train" reaches
Washington half day in advance Of the
fastest trains on other lines.
