On Thurslsy. the 18Th of October, it vas
officially announced that the excursion
had reached Chicago, aud might be ex-

for the purpose of comforting upon the
subject, and making arrangements t.
give the distinguished visitors u proper
reception.
1t was finally arranged hat the freedom
OF the city should be rendered to the FIX

ball aud supper should be given them
at the Herdon House, on the evening OF
their arrival.

Close OF the PRstorsto OF Rev. W. b.

Yesterday was the fourth anniversary Of
the day on which Rev. W. B. Thompson
preached his first sermon as pastor Of the
Disciples church Of this city, and yesterday
he preached his last sermon in that rela-
ton to the church. He has resigned his
charge here to accept position rendered
him at Detroit, Michigan, as pastor OF the
Washington Avenue Disciples church Of
that city, church which is in much the
same condition that the one in this city
was when he assumed the duties OF pastor
here, being heavily in debt, having been
without pastor for about three years, and
It's membership being much scattered and
reduced.
When Mr.. Thompson came to Wheeling
the church had q bonded debt Of $, 500, on
which per cent interest was paid. This
has now all been provided Tor, and all but
a small amount paid.
The membership four years ago was
about IS, while now it is over $50. The
past year has been very successful one,
over 30 members having been added to the
church in the year ending last March.
Mr.. Thompson and bis family will leave
the city next Saturday. They will spend
some time visiting Mrs. Thompson's rela.
tiyes in Brooke county, and. ttterwsrds " Il

An effort was made this evening to inter.

Your correspondent learned tonight that
he had made statement to the prisoners
in Jail. Wyatt is said to manifest inditier-
ence as to the crime committed by his
hands that has added another murder to
the record Of this city. Wyatt will have a
hearing before Justice May tomorrow.
There is every evidence that Mrs. Birds
statement was correct and that the murder
was premeditatei and cold blooded, and
that it was his intention to make double
murder.
