The Bi-CentenniAl celebration OF the frtt
German settlement in this country, which Is
to be held Thursday by the Germans OF this
city and vicinity, Is the all absorbing topic OF
conversation among the Germans and large
number Of Americans. There Is no doubt
that Wheeling will witness q parade and q
celebration on that day such as she has never
seen before. Very little remains to be done.
The members OF the committees, both large
and small. have worked bard, and every lit
tie detail has been arranged. There Is eyeiy-
where to be encountered r spirit OF enthu.
.iasm that aul urs we'll for the success and
brilliancy Of tne affair. The best clssI oil
Germans have entered heartily into the idea
OF a celebration, and are bound that 1t shall
not fail from lack OF any aid they may be
able 10 extend.

AsPEcK OF TROUBLE.
The marshals had two questions before
them last night that Gauss ID long discussions,
and 1t Is feared that the decisions finally
arrived at may cause some bad feeling. At
the last meeting, II will be remembered, the
mals1als decided that after the Pioneer
Society, the other societies should follow
according to the date Of their organic ltion,
and the MHsnnerchor Singing Society YVES
placed near the head 1t giving the date Of
its organization ts 1855. This was the year
/ In which the old M,e lnershor was organized.
During the '70's 1t joined With the Harmonic
Society, and the consolidated society WIS
known as the Harmonic Nannerchor. Later
on there arose soma dissatisfaction, nd the
younger members OF the old MGauerchor with

chof, claiming however, that they were un.
der the constitution OF the anunerchor OF
1855, Notwithstanding the fact that they had
voted 10 disband the society Of 1856 when the
Harmonic. MRnnercbor was formed and bad

The Mmennerchor hiss ever since claimed
seniority over the other societies, claim
that was not recognized, however. The dis

/ Al the meeting OF the Marshals last even
ing protest WIS offered by representative
against the M,ennerohor being 10 the procet-
sion as an organization OF 1855. The old
trouble was gone over and discussed by
nesrly every one present, aud at last 1t was
decided that the society be set back and
classed as an organization OF 1879
ANOTHER DIFFICULTY.
The other trouble was thia: AT tho Sum-
day night meeting at Arion II III, commu.
nication was received from the knights Of
st. George, stating that they would take part
In the parade. That meeting decided that
as the Knights we're semi.miltary orgaDizl-

the right OF the columO-aheado Of the pioreer
Society, which started the celebration idea

DECORATIONS.
The Decoration committee is very busy at
present, arranging for badges flags, costume
