1ect OF puttlng on edoluonA pouce. a
large majority Of them wsrei In fsvorof put
ting on the four extra police passed by the
Second Branch Of Council at its last meet
ing. Al n gentleman remarked: "This
city Ii certainly able to give It's citizens .
little protection during the day and
also at night. Now four more. men
viii cost but few dollars
extra every month, and IS the matter Cow
stands thers arc really only It5ur police
on duty during the sRssife day. II you
we're to start "a Is hunt an oficsr during
the day Ezssre would you find him? At
! lie headquarters they even do not know
exactly where the officer is, from the
simple reason be has from Two to three
wards to look after, and is supposed to be
moving about all the time. certainly am
strongly In favor OF at least one officer to
the ward in day time, and a like number
at night"
"WiIl the Citizens Railway Company
build their extension down Penn street TO
the Fair Grounds asked 3 gentleman OF a
reporter yesterday. Upon the scribe in
forming him that he knew nothing about
it, the gentleman responded: 81 have
heard q great number of citizens talking
about the proposed extension, but they are
about divided as 10 its aver being laid. II
am correctly informed, the directors OF
the road are not q unit on the subject Of
building this line, some claiming
be a very paying investment, while
another portion of the Board Of Directors
favor the laying of the new track. Just
how this will terminate, il true, remains
to be seen. One thing l feel confident OF
and that is, should the company build this
track it will certainly be a great accommo'
dation 10 people wishing to visit the fair,
or other smusements at those grounds"
During d conversation with one of the
stockholders of the road afterwards, the re-
porter vas informed that the company
would build the extension and that it
would be completed before the meeting Of
the State Fair Association.
The other afternoon a REGISTER reporter
lay bathing himself in the flood Of genial.
ity that poured from the smiling counte-
nance of Col. John Hasler, of Jackson
| county. He is fresh FROM the rural dis.
tricts and was asked how the reassessment
gun had kicked down there.
We'll" said he, "the Republicans snort
ed round about il, for awhile, but when
they found none OF them would sell for
double their total assessment, they grew
quiet about it,"
Amy political talk, down there?'
Not a great deal. Miller, Faulkner and
Windy Wilson are known to be the guber-
Material candidates, but there is little talk
as it is too early Tor results. Miller will
undoubtedly get the Fourth district
Wheeling Is a great place for glorious
schemes and small realizations. What has
become of all those grand plans for hilltop
resorts that should rival Cincinnati?
Where is the inclined plane and horse Car
line on Chapline hill? Where is the mil
hon dollar steel plant? And what has be
CONT OF the gas heating company? More
beautiful and speculative bubbles are
blown in Wheeling in a week than can be
counted.
Evoking the spirits of the dead seems a
favorite accomplishment of a South Side
medium and very popular with her super
| stitious customers. At the same time she
gets in q good advertising Dodge for a sister
spiritualist. A customer calls and desires
to communicate with her deceased hus
band. She is favored with a talk with him
and he tells her to go TO a certain medium,
Mrs. Blank, of such a street, in New York.
and she will be enabled to see MIN in the
shadow. Some people here are just sui.
ticiently gullible to go to New York on such
a mission.
Now that the distractions have been re-
moved and the drilling is proceeding at
the Central we'll, all is we'll. But would it
not have been better for the contractors tD
have adopted Mr.. SCOTS suggestion and
begin a new one, instead Of dickering away
at the old one? 1t IS said Mr.. Reymann
will al once begin drilling; would it not be
advisable for him to await the issue?
Unable to get his committee together,
Mr.. Shauley got disguised and resigned.
But what has the committee since done?
Nothing. The task assigned to them was
To get better quarters for the COuCcil, aud
OF course they at once saw the utter use
l~tssGess of the task. Better quarters d.
not exist, and. anyhow, why hold a 0=er
garden IN a psr.or"
bad business, this proposed monopoly"
said one gentleman, on the street, to an
other.
"Yes. but We nave heard the last OF it."
II don't know about that. | wOuldu'.
be surprised to see Council grant H."
Where did you get that crazy idea
Well, I can hardly say; but you know
how Council is run. One set of men rul"
the majority, and when they can't DO il
one way they rule oy quick vote. But on4
thing is morslly certain. if that CJunci!
ever does give any monopoly exclusive
rights, there will be the biggest howl raisei
in this city that was ever heard. We ar.
| tired of that kind of work, and will not in
| the future stand any more nonsense OF 4
similar Ch--acter. No, stree"
The ge. .iemen then separated after a
| hearty grip of the hand, to show that they
were friends on that subject.
