THE INCREASE OF WAGES
And Matters Of General Interest 10
Come Before Council Tonight.

The regular semi-monthly meeting of
Council will be held tonight and promises
10 be of some interest. The monotonous
routine OF committee reports is over, and
these questions TO be considered tonight
relate principally to ordinances.
OF these, one Of the greatest interest, II
not importance. is that in relation to the
salaries to be paid the members Of the fire
department. At present, the enginemen
get SO per month and the rest $50. An
ordinance is now pending which gives all
So alike. The discussion, among the
firemen, of this subject has pro-
yoEed a great deal Of feeling and
pressure will he brought 10 bear, tonight,
10 procure the passage Of the ordinance.
Chief ECcles, who has of course, the per-
fecting OF the department uppermoSt in his
mind. thinks the proposed Increase would
be a good thing. Several members of the
committee have expressed themselves as
heartily in favor OF the move especially as
should the ordinance be rejected some OF
the best men in the department will re-
sign. Let cOuncilmen consider well what
is best and act act accordingly. 1t is said
that in the event the ordinance fails, q mo-
ton will be made to reduce the enginemen
TO so. This i wrong. entirely, and Is a
dog.in-the-manGger feeling.
The Second Branch has yet 10 act on the
cock fighting ordinance, making cock fight
ing mains, badger batting, dog fighting,
etc, illegal. This will be passed without
objection, as, if any Councilman want to
witness This kind Of sport, they will not
peak out in meeting and oppose the
ordinance.
The street railway question will also
come up and the ordinance. rs proposed
will 90 through, no doubt, is il is pre-
pared precisely as Council has instanCed.
There is a variety OF other business Of i
like nature, which will go To- making up n
very interesting meeting.

TO Cleveland.

1t is with regret that we note OF the de.

sive wholesale notion trade in Wheeling
Or tie past eighteen years. The firm in a
circular issued 10 the trade. state their re-

house OF the same firm has been located
for a long time. is due to the advantages to
be derived from a consolidation Of the
two.
The firm OF Colin, SImpliner. & CO. is
composed of HowmGn COhu, Simon Slmp
liner. Jos. Rich and Slgnund Hays. all Oi
whom are live and progressive business
men, with abundance of experience and OF
qualities which endcared them in more
ways than one TO this entire section Of
trade.
Their house in Cleveland will be Nos. IS
and 20 st. Clair street, where the combined
energies and Our of the firm will be
directed toward building up a larger bust
ness than ever. Notwithstanding the re-
moval there is no question but that with
their improved facilities and largely in
creased stocks, they will continue TO hold
all their Wheeling trade against home com.
p~etitorS. We understood that Mr.. Sigmund
HAYS will look after the customers of the
house in this region. He is a gentleman
Of integrity. responsibility and and true
culture, with whom il is q pleasure to trans.

A Horrible ThoroughGare.

Yesterday while a reporter OF the REELS
rXE was wandering about the upper por
ton of the city his attention was attracted
TO the terrible condition of Eighth street.
This beautiful boulevard is the principal
avenue of approach TO the water works, and
many ahesvily loaded wagon or CARTS drawn
over its smooth surface. From these fire.
quent visits paid the street has become ter
ribly cut up, the mud in many places be.
ing almost knee-decp. Our reporter was
also informed that the Street Commission
ers refused to DO any repairing thereon.
Why this is so when the repairs would
come under the head of necessary improve
ments is a question we are unable to an.
swer. The street, in its present condition,
is almost impossible. and something in the
way of Improvement should at once be

SHOT n
The Rough Treatment of visitor from
New Martinsyille.

A case in which the police might distin-
guish themselves was developed last night,
H. II. Garrison, OF New Martinsyille, imam
of some 40 years OF age, came to the city
Yesterday to see the sights. He visited a
number of saloons and imbibed consider
able intoxicant until his sense were rather
muddled. in this condition he picked up
4 friend-onc OF those kind who are partic-
ularly friendly to strangers with money
and together they started out. 1t was then
after night and getting in the vicinity
of the stone bridge, the friend proposed
a visit to a house OF pleasure. Garrison
declined and the friend argued and finally,
finding the New Martinsvillian obdurate.
he drew a revolver and shot him in the
back OF the head, inhicting a slight wound.
Garrison was stunned, and while in this
condition the unknown robbed him OF $50.
The reporter met Garrison, later in the
evening, wandering about. with his wound
undressed, looking for the false friend. II
is unnecessary to say he did not find him.

THE r
Result OF the Special Investigation by
the Legislature.

The committee appointed to visit the In
sane Asylum al, Weston andinvestigate the
charges against its officials, returned yes
terday, after an absence of W. weeks and
day. The committee is composed of SEN
ators McGrew and Vanmeter and Delegates
Crumrine, Bee and Evans, with clerk j..
NJ. Hamilton. All Of the gentlemen are
looking we'll, and appear to have thriven
and grown fat during their stay in Weston,
The forthcoming report will be volumin0us
and intert sting, and judging from the little
that could be cleaned from the committee,
not highly ~cOndemnatOTy OF the officials.
The members decided among themselves
not To ~fOrestall their report
by telling Of their verdict
but enough Is known to say they were
rather favOrably impressed with the Hos
pital. The testimony Was concluded on
Wednesday and Thursday was occupied in
visiting the Asylum, and inspecting its
sanitary condition.
There is often much smoke and no fire
at oil" was the way one committeeman
took to say there was nothing in the
charges preferred. The committee will
report as a unit. and there will be no diff
~ferences of opinion and no majority re-
port he continued.
The Ularksburg Telegram, which started
this business. contained some very severe
structures, day before yesterday, and as
sertionS Of the findings Of the com
mittee which reflected seriously upon the
officials, and OF the truth OF the statement
the committee was questioned. Each n
to whom the matter was mentioned unhe>-
itatingly pronounced the statement false.
The Weston Democrat says: The Com
mittce of Investigation sent out by the
Legislature to inquire into the condition
ard management of the Hospital for the
Insane located in this place, have by
their fairness and impartiality in
the performance of their duties.
won the admiration OF every
person who witnessed their proceedings.
Their object, il seems, was to make their
investigation thorough. and they have done
50. No one who was in their meetings had
any right to complain. Every act and rul-
ing was fair. md pursuant to strict legal
procedure. Justice, however, to the tax
payers, requires of US a journalist 10 claim
thai hereafter when prosecutions are set
upon foot by informants against the man
sCement of any of our State institutions
without cause, that the prosecutors shall
be made to pay the costs"
The committee expects to have its pub
lished report ready by next Thursday.

A CHESAPEAKE MIRAGE.
The Beautiful Sky-Picture Recently
Seen Oyerhanging Cape Henry.

Seen Oyerhanging Cape Henry.
From The Richmond Dispatch.
\ correspondent writes, under date Of
the 9th inst: About three o'clock this
afternoon, while the waters OF the Ches-
apeake Bay, like molten sheen, reflected
the many boats with untitled sails Drift
ing lazily on its bosom, there suddenly
appeared, overhanging Cape Henry,
and extending about a mile southwark
along the shore bordering on the bay,
a gorgeous scene resulting from pecu-
liar conditions of the atmosphere, that
would rival in its wonderful beauty the
deceitful mirage of Africa's arid deserts.
The lighthouse at the Cape, which Is
barely discernible ordinarily with the
naked eye from the spot We occupied,
being thirteen miles off, now seemed a
gigantic tower, alternating with a thou
sand variegated hues, until its pinnacle,
which had the appearance of an inn
mense spear head, was partly held from
view by the media which surrounded it
like an immense veil of frosted net
work.
The adjacent sand hills were we
more beautiful, being metamOrphosed
into mountains, the magniticence and
grandeur of which ! feel unable to re-
call, dotted here and there with hills Of
gold, emerald and sapphire beneath the
oblique rays Of the sun, till their rolling
SUBMITS passed beyond the pale of Opti-
cal vision, and | found, on awakening
from the reverie into which Ihad fallen,
that all had passed away and nothing
remained but a dark line along the sur
face of the water to mark the distant
shore.

reference 10 the lighting of the slackwater.
The gentleman stated that the only official
" in the way was the presence of the
Smithfeld street bridge. This structure
would prevent the City from ascending the
Mononeahela, but he hoped the bridge
would be removed and raised before his
first official trip up the stream. As to the
number of lights or the additional appro-
priations needed, the Captain could not
speak until his return. Both he and Cap
tain yandergrift will return 10 Cincinnati
after their trip, and Captain McCook will
then make his report to the Government.
The steamer Lily is at present lying at
Cincinnati, awaiting the falling OF the
river, when she will visit the lower Ohio.
