IT is hopeless to look for any aid from
Tie city Of Wheeling or the county Of Ohio
tOpromOte our railroad interests. The
local finances are not in condition to war
nut an appropriation il one was favored
by public opinion, which does not lean
Tia: way. half y million was put in the
Baltimore & Ohio on the condition that
Wheeling should be u terminal point Of
the road. The nearest We ever got to that
terminus was to be made the terminus Of q
switch, mud there we stand to.day-an old
story but an ever fresh presence. The city
sut its money out Of that, but the object
dthe loan was defeated. This memorable
jubilee meeting in Washington Hall, In
Isl, was 30 much enthusiasm thrown away.
We didn't get out OF the. Hemp6eld quite
BWell. Three hundred thousand dollars
tom the city, the same from the county,
100000 in all was thrown away. The
mad stopped short, and continues to stop.
ID the Cincinnati ( Marietta We dropped
aquarter Of a million. The $4,000 to the
Cleveland & Pittsburgh was another bad
bargain. In all We pocketed a loss Of
about 100000. The County's subscription
tothe "pewiky" is intact, and is about the
tuly one thut has ever justified It's hepe
c1t Of the handsome total Of 81, 100000.
Bat there is money in this city which we
believe to be available to provide the key
to the situation. II We could say to the
projectors Of those roads which have
Wheeling in contemplation, "You come
on with your roads and We will so on with
Hnon railroad bridge over the Ohio"
that would put an end to uncertainty and
speculation. The roads would come,
though they had to go a little out Of their
way to get here.
Tie bridge could be built for less than
the BellSite bridge, and 1t would be even
abeiter investment, II anybody should be
in search Of something better than an Is
Per cent stock with an increasing revenue
and au appreciating value. The Bellaire
stidgeis used by one line-the Wheeling
bridge would lie open to all comers. The
location Of the atructnre need not engage
Attention at tirst, and that in any event
Tillb largely matter Of engineering.
The dnt step is for the public spirited
uen Of Wheeling who want to do q good
work aud make profitable Investment, tc
puttheir heads together, organize a com

they will have and where they will have II
Ths next thing Is to build the bridge
There is nothing about the project that \

in price. The Republic Ore Company are

Sons, the largest paper manufacturers Of
Western Pennsylvania, have made an as
signment for the benefit OF the creditors to
Jesse II. Lippencott, OF this city, without
preferences. Their liabilities are about
four hundred thousand; assets nearly Ia

general depression Of trade and unprofta-

An official statement Just prepared says
the failure was precipitated by q. q.

On Thursday he drew nearly $4,000,
intended to meet their pay roll at West

created intense excitement, and the streets

ing indignation at the way the employees

as it may seem N. L. Dukes is now quar-
tered in his old room here at the Jennings
House. He came in, it is thought, during
the night, and the first news OF bis pres

the statement that Dukes was in town,
closeted with William ParshaIl, the
same who refused to join his fellow
members Of the Fayete county bar in ask
ing that tho name Of Dukes be stricken
from the roll OF attorneys. Parshall has
been known to sympathize with this se-
ducer aud murderer, but for what reason
it is not known. On learning OF Dukes
presence, a number OF determined men
met and resolved to adopt heroic measures
A notice was drawn up in which Dukes
is given twenty.four hours 10 fix up his
business and leave town, and that II
he remains here after that time II will be
at his own peril. Two gentlemen took the
notice, handed it to the proprietor Of the
hotel, Henry Jennings, and waited until
the latter gave II to Dukes. He now has
his papers and II he doesn't comply with
the terms there will be some ugly work in
Uniontown ere many hours. The feeling
is ready for 1t. 1t is now stated that
Dukes Is on his way to Harrisburg, and
that he is afraid OF being shot This letter
came from one OF his intimate friends.

his peculiarities being TO buy large lots on
