The Electric Lirht.

Atone time last summer the Board OF Di.
rectors had under consideration the adyisa.
bility Of lighting the Penitentiary with he
Brush electric light, but found It could do
nothing until the Legislature should meet.
Superintendent West Is heartily in favor Of
the electric light plan as he is sure, having
posted himself on figures, that with the mo.
tive power the institution possesses the elec.
trio light could be maintained at the same
cost II not less, than that now in vogue. An.
other advantage would be afforded that
during dark and short winter DAYS by tie
aid Of the light, The men could be worked
the ten hours required by contract, and not
be blieed to make up what they lose at such
times by working twelve and thirteen hours
during the longer days.
Mr. John Z. RtDail, Of Pittsburgh, repre.
senting the Brush company, was in the city
yesterday, in order to meet Superintendent
West Nothing definite has been done as
yet, however. -

not far off when Wheeling will be similarly

WORTH TIIINKING OF.
A Proposition in F1esard to the OF
WheelirE Library.

A Proposition In regard to the Old
WheeliHS Library.
Last evening, during the session Of the
Board OF Education, DR.. Jepson brought up
the subject OF the old Wheeling Library. He
SAID he understood that at the last meeting
oil the board Of the defunct institution com.
mltlee had been appointed with power to
arrange for the transfer OF the books and
furniture to any association or body that
would give guarantee TO keep It up and run
It for the use and benefit OF the public. DR..
Jepson put the question, would 1t
not be a good idea to procure this library
and get the power from the Legislature to
yearly make small appropriation from the
CITY school fund to support the same.
MS query met with general appreciation,
and his motion to constitute committee con-
slSting OF President Wilson and three others,
to ascertain the exact state OF affairs, and
what legislation would be necessary, was
unanimously adopted.
The Chair appointed as the other members
OF the committee MeSSrs. Jepson, Caldwell
and Miller; Thisscheme has long been q pet
one OF Prof Birch, the worthy Superinten-
dent The Cincinnati public schools, and
there are none better or more scientifically
conducted, have charge OF the public library
Sun oNpHvlt H.
tits as DR., Jepson stated-the library was
turned over to committee, but that commit.
tee has, It Is believed, never had meeting.
The books were carefully packed away under
the supervision OF Nj. A. H. Beach,
and with the furniture, put away in
TIE basement OF the State House. They
might as well have been put in grave for
all the good they have done since. For
while communications were showcred on the
public through the press, but the writers.
grew, Disguised as their iabors brought forth
nothing, and they ceased. 1t Is to Wheel
'n$s shame and disgrace that there Is no cir
cnlaitng library in our midst, and 1t Is hoped
that the move 10 put the books in charge Of
the public schools and to provide for and
maintain them, will meet with no opposition.
As one member expressed himself last even.
ing, 1T Is one method, and big one too OF
educating the masses, and for one am Will
ing TO do all / can and release my claim to
stock toput 1t through" This feeling should
be general. The proposition is one which
should meet with sober consideration by the
general public, and will prove more worthy
oil adoption the more 1t Is considered.
