An Enjoyable Time at LeatherwOOd
Last Night.
The peninsula at Leatherwood is as lovely
a spot as can be found in this part OF the
country and has charm which is not uu-
known to all who have had opportunity to
visit it. Its people are also noted for their
warm hospitality and engaging manners.
All of this was never made more apparent
than by pleasant lawn party which was
given there last night. The lovely
grounds of Mr. r. A. McCabe were the
theatre Of this delightful little social affair
and his daughters the hostesses of the occa-
sion. The guests, about thirty in all, came
early in the evening, when the heat OF the
day had been tempered by the coming of
evening, but before the darkness had con-
cealed the beauties of the place, and spread
themselves about the grounds. Refresh
ments were served later on, followed by
dancing TO Prof. killmeyers music. Soon
after 8 o'clock the waning moon rose above
the eastern hill and her mellow light
again brought out the beauties of Leather.
wood, softened and subdued. 1t was, with
the moonlight, music and the merry
young folks, a delightful affair all round,
and was so pronounced by every guest.
Most of these were from the immediate
neighbUrhood and the country side about,
especially the ladies, this city furnishing

trail Gas Well.
A new dif1ulty has been met at the gas
well at the Central Glass works, though it
will prove OF but little moment. Early
yesterday morning, at depth OF 0l2 feet,
a vein of oil was struck. At the time
there was about 100 feet Of water in the
well and when this was bailed out, it was
followed By a flow of oil. The OIL which
came in very good quantity, is of paying
quality, but the company wants gas. Mr..
Rayl, one OF the contractors, said yester.
day:
This oil was struck at the same depth
as that at Martins Ferry, and is the same
quality. am of the opinion there is
quite quantity of it at that depth.
Gould 1t be util!zed?'
Yes. believe if this well were cleaned
out and torpeCOed, flow of oil would be
obtained that would pay
"What are you going 10 dO?'
1--WE have just pulled the casing out for
more roaming. TIE oil will stop us, just
as the water did, and ne must SHUT it oil
As soon a We ream below it, the well will
be caseG to that depth and both oil and
wafer cut oil
How do you regard the presence Of oil
IL regard to the possibility OF getting
gas?'
Don't think it will effect the gas posi-
bilities at all The gas is down there, sure,
and we will get it,"
Mr.. Scott, of the Central Glass Company,
said if they had been going for oil, the
present strike would be all right; but it
- gas they want and they will continue
the drilling. The we'll will soon be cased
fellow the oil and the drilling be resumed.

Law on the Subject.

The German Labor Benevolent Society,
at whose picnic at Seibert's garden the
bloody row occurred, on Monday evening,
are determined to leave no stone unturned
to ferret out and bring to justice the gang
of roxdies who caused aud we're engaged in
the fighting. The society has been unjust
~ censured and is determined to vindicate
itself by bringing the roughs 20 answer.
member called at this Office, LIST evening,
in relation to this apd said they
had positive proof that certain
East Wheeling gang had gone out there
with the premeditated intention of rails
ing a disturbance and getting revenge.
The authorities were quietly st work yes
terday getting names and witnesses, and
at the proper time the arrests will be made.
II was a serious affair, as the principals
will find when they are brought up. 1t
will be no mere charge of disorderly con-
duct or assault and battery, but q charge
of riot will be preferred, aud the persons
engaged will be indicted before the Grand
Jury. They will find, before they get
through, that such tights are expensive
luIuries.
An arrest was made yesterday by Officer
Lauchlin, that may have bearing on this
matter man named John Norton gst
on an Elm Grove Car yesterday, in drunk
en- condition. The car was crowded and as
several empty ones were following II, Mr..
Anton Reymap, who was aboard, told the
driver to tell Norton to go back TO them.
The driver did this, but Nortou would not
go and began cursing lrightfuliy,

who could put him OFF. At this Mr.. Rey-
mann seized him and put him of, and the
car drove on. Norton threw boulder
after il, but missed ii, and this was seen
by Supt Kleeh. Norton got on one OF
following cars and rode out TO the transfer
station, where he renewed his abuse unit.
he was arrested by officer Lauchlin, brought
TO the city and locked up.
In this connection, the law bearing on
such cases will be of interest, and is given
as follows:
"-And If aLy person'shall, while on
any passenger or other train Df corpora
ton behave in a riotous or disorderly man
ner, so as to disquiet or disturb the passen-
gers thereon, he shall be guilty OF mis-.
demeanor and fined net less than twenty
five nor more than two hundred dollars,
and may at the discretion OF the court, be
confined in Jail not less than one, nor more
than six months, and he may be elected
from such trains by the person or persons
IN charge thereof, and such force as is nee
essary 10 so eject him may be used for TIE
purpose"
1t is high time the disorder and outlaw

REGISTER thinks it will be. The authori.

How Kisses are Received by West Nfr-
ginia Girls
The bonnie lasses of the Mountain State
are, as a rule, the most ecstatic kissers in
the Nation. Their sweet lips, tinted by
fresh mountain air and perfumed with
sang" are unrivaled in the osculatiye at
Their kiss is not like mules hoof coming
out Of soft mud, but is a silent, long-drawn
cut kind of an affair that doesn't require
al set OF Congress 10 make it legal.
When a wild spark attempts to kiss
Huntington girl she says: Come sheer off,
or I'll split your mainsail in a typhoon."
The Martinsburg girls hold still til
they're kissed, when they flare up all al
once, and say; 81 think you ought to be
ashamed
When a young chap steals kiss from
Psrkersburg girl she says: II reckon it is
my turn now" and gives him a box on the
ear that he don't forget for month.
When a clever fellow steals kiss from
Richie county girl, she smiles, bushes
deeply and says-nothing.
In Morgantown, when a female is saluted
with buss, she puts on bonnet and
shawl and answereth: IL am totally aston
ished at thy assurance, Jedediah, and for
this indlgnity will sew thee up"
The Weston ladies, however, are so fond
of kissing that, when saluted on one cheek
they instantly present the other.
The ClarEsburg girl tussels and scratches
until out OF breath, when she submits to
her fate with the most exemplary fortltude
and resignation without a murmur.
But when a Young man steals kiss from
Wheeling girl, she bushes like full
blown rose, and says smartly: You darsnt
do that twice more"

PURE WATER.
The Work Of Obtaining 1t to Bsgin
at Once.
Three Cribs to be Sunk-Test Pipes to be
Driven To-day-PuriEing
Water by Air.

The REGISTER has exclusively followed
the course OF the Water Board in its ef-
fort and plans to replace the present muddy
liquid we drink with pure, clean water.
1t looks now as though We would soon
reach the desired haven in that regard
The preliminary steps looking to that end
will be taken to-day. A REGISTER reporter
yesterday met Mr.. VIM. Hastings, OF the
Water Board, aud inquired of him what
was being done and when the Board would
make its first move.
You have struck just the right time"
said he. "Mr. Chisholm is in the city
now, and we begin our experiments to-
morrow"
what do you aim at doing?'
ITO get good, pure water is, Of course, our
object. To do this, we will build three
cribs, or wells, under the bed of the river,
from which 10 pump-one CRIB for each
pump. These cribs will be, in round num-
beTs, fourteen feet deep and twenty in di-
ameter, and will be just under the bed of
the river. The tops will be covered with
planks and filed over with sand and the
pure WAFER will enter from the top and
sides. The suction pipes for the pumps
Will enter the cribs and the water pumped
tn the basin will, we believe, be pure and
good. Mr.. Chisholm has made success OF
his cribs up the river and mas submitted
plans and specifications that we think will
be satisfactory. AS l said, he is here nov
and will put down drive well to-day and
test the water
"What il a drive Hell2'
ut is an iron pipe, with perforations in
it and a sharp point. This is sunk at the
desired spot and the top is left above the
surface Of the water. The pure water
either soaks in or is forced in by atmos-
pheric pressure, by exhausting the air in
the pipe and from its quality and quantity
we can judge of the result.
IF the test is satisfactory, when will you
have the crib completed
I'VE may get one completed this season
but not more than that, think. We re-
ceived circular to day from a French
man, who wants to purify the water by
forcing air through it. But after all the
Cincinnati plan is the best They have an
overflow reservoir; the water overIiDws
from one to another, leaving the sediment
and refuse behind and getting the air
through it as it falls into the reservoir,
from which it is distributed throughout
the city" And here Mr.. Hastings was
called away.
Pure water is great blessing and one
that Wheeling needs sadly. Our present
supply is half the time unit for drinking
cooking or laundrying purposes and is
mixture Of sand, mud and water. The new
WoTthington pumps also makes pure wa
ter necessity, the sand in the present
SUPPLY is cutting the valves terribly and
wesring out the pump generally. The
public will hail any measure looking t.
he substitution OF our present ale with
pure Wster.
