THE BATHING ORDINANCE.
An Interested Party Expresses HIS



Views.
Yesterday gentleman accosted a REIs.
TER reporter with the query: why wasi
that Council did not pass the bathing ordi-
nance last night
The scribe informed him that it had
passed, but in this way: In passing the
First branch the clause "Woolen suits"
Vas adopted; when it came up in the
Second branch they amended 1t by
slak!ng out the word "woolen." 1t thus

HALF SEASON IN FRUIT.
where Wheeling Gets the Good Things
OF Earth.

OF EArth.
Wheeling people seem to have lost their
hsnkering for fruit this season. said q
member OF our largest fruit firms to a
REGISTER reporter. This is especially so
on peaches. The demand for them is not
nearly so great as usual.
"How is the peach CROP"
The local crop amounts to little but it
don't count We get NEST OF our peaches
from distance. have just returned from
Delaware and there is only half crop.
saw some mighty fine ones in Baltimore,
but that kind is scarce. Baltimore is our
great fruit market and it is tie largest |
saw. More fruit comes In there than il
New York or Philadelphia.
How are apples
Apples are also scarce, this year. The
western crop is failure and We have en-
qIiries for them from Michigan. oars
come from Baltimore. Plums are scarce,
though we get some good ones from Quaker
City, Ohio"
Where do you get your melons,
This year they come from Baltimore.
Usually We get them by river from Park
ersburg and Marietta, but they are now
coming by the b. 4 o. road from the East
CantelOpes come in crates OF about 80 to the
crate and watermelons come by the car

melons and Cantelopes would be a good
average for this city"
Summing up the situation, the dealer
said he thought the fruit season was more
bad than good.

FIRST BATTLE OF TIE WAR.
A Statement Which COrrects an Error
and shOuId Settle All DisDates.

Some weeks ago correspondent writing
from Philippi, in giving an account OF the
memorable first battle of the war, which
was fought there, made the statement that
General L. F. Kelly, the Union commander
under General Mcclellan, who was wound.
ed in the fight, was shot by one of his own
men. The statement gave rise to consider
able discussion among the survivors of the
gallant First Virginia Regiment, many OF
whom Indignantly denied the assertion.
Yesterday the correspondent OF
Pittsburgh paper met General Kelly,
who had just arrived from Wash
ington, and learned the following facts as
to how he got his wound, which will no
doubt be read with interest. He said:
I'VE attacked the enemy in their camp
at O'Clock A. NJ. of June 3, 1861, and drove
them through the town. At the south
end of the village | observed their wagon
train moving out the Beverly road, pro-
teCted by strong guard. Having no cav
airy with me | ordered the First Virginia
Regiment TO charge at double
quick and capture the train, which they
aid, capturing both the guard and the
train. In leading the charge | was shot in
the right breast, the ball passing through
tie body AMI lodging III my back, under
tie lower part of my right shoulder blade,
where it remained for four months. 1t
Was then extracted by DR.. Frizzell, of
Wheeling, and found to be an ounce ball.
which had evidently been fired from an old
tiut lock musket, with which most Of the
rebels were armed. We captured quite a
number of those Old muskets.
Before the attack had detached Gen.
Nilroy with the Ninth Indiana regiment
with orders to cross the bridge and occupy
tie Beverly road south of the town; but,
IN consequence Of the distance and the
difficulties in the way of a rapid move
ment, he did not reach the road until most
Of the fugittTes had passed, else the entire
rebel force would have been captured A
rebel quartermaster, not in uniform, by the
name of SHINES, had halted, and was in
4 vacant lot Immediately opposite
where / fell. Some man exclaimed
that | had been shot by this man, that
he saw the smoke of his pistol. In
stantly a rush was made for him by some
Of my men. He would have been killed
on the spot if | had not ordered the men
TO spare him. General Lander arrived at
that moment from the force on the OppO
site side OF the river, drew his revolver and
ordered the prisoner spared. The eXtrac.
lion OF the old musket ball clearly demon.
strated that | was not wounded by pistol
shot by SHINES, and that | was right in
ordering the men to spare his life. Slmm-s
was held prisoner of war until | recoy
cred and returned to my command, when
| parOled him and sent him through the
lines, His home was in Richmond"

The Board Preparing TO make the ltn.

Some time ago the REGISTER published
an account Of the negotiations OF the city
Water Board with Mr.. Chisholm, OF East
Liverpool, Ohio, looking to the sinking Of
one or more cribs, or wells for the purpose
of giving us pure water in place OF the
lemonade fluid we now get, after rain.
Since that time nothing has been heard Of
the scheme and the general suppose.

many others equally good, which died
of premature birth. A REGISTER skirmisher

Board still intends to sink the crib, and
may begin while this low water lasts
There is belief that hard water will re.
suit from these wells, and should IL do so,
onl y one, for the Worthington pump, will
be sunk. This one will be fourteen feet
deep and twenty feet in diameter, and the
mouth will be just under the bed Of the
river.

KICKED UP A ROW,
The Way the New Sign Ordinance Is
Recorded.

Recorded.
Council has passed the ordinance COM
polling the removal OF all signs that pro.
iect beyond two feet from the building and
doubtless the standing army will receiye a
general order TO enforce this ordinance.
The ordinance Was not discussed, and con
se9uently the world is deprived Of the CO.
gent reasons Of the wise counselors for
such a move. But the merchants Of the
d,y are highly incensed and indignant at
the move and say it is asinine to the
last degree. A Man street merchant
thus delivered himself TO REGISTER re-
porter yesterday:
"Ot all the contem ptible legisla'ions that
ever emanated from a deliberative body
this sign ordinance is the worst. Can any
body tell or give the faintest reason why
a sign should not project more than "a
inches? 1t is the COLL darnedest nonsense
in the world, Why don't they make us
take in our awnings, too? Why, such a
course would disgrace country town. A
stranger comes along u street, and unless a
sign extends over the sidewalk he has to
walk the curb and cape up at the wall sign
like messly fool. besides running into
half the people he meets. The man who
originated this scheme ought to come out
and show his great head that we may do
honor TO it "
