DELIBERATE CUssEDNESs
Manifest in BenwOOd - Political and
Local News Gossip.

For real genuine down right, deliberate
cussedness, commend us to some OF the
citizens of Benwood. For instance, the
city Dads passed an ordinf nee in the in
terest OF health and cleanliness, causing
all off,l or garbage to be placed in barrels
to be hauled away once a week by the city.
| They forbid the placing of old tin cans
sticks, straw and other debris not properly
garbage in these barrels, but " have few
families who are imbued with such spir
it of contrariness that they empty their
wash water and all the dirt, ashes, cans and
sticks they can gather into these barrels,
for the sole purpose of defeating, as they
suppose, this ordnance, but to all such We
would say beware. ForbearanCe has well
nigh ceased TO be virtue, and some one
will be summarilY brought before his hon

ward the city exchequer.

GERMAN CELEBRATION.
Our Singing Societies Will COmmemOr-
ate u Centennial Anniversary.

The Germans in this city, in common
with their countrymen all over the nation
Are preparing, in a quiet way, for the CEN
ten NAL celebration of great event. The
first large body of German emigrants
landed on the shores of America August
Is, 1888. The difference in the calendar
would make this on the 18th OF October
now, and this year will bring the centen-
NAL anniversary. The celebration win be
quite general, but that at Philadelphia and
Germantown will be on the grandest scale
The German singing societies of Wheeling
will get up celebration, something of the
nature OF a Saengerfest. There will be 8
grand parade, in which will be represented
many of the features of American history
in which Germans took part. Celebrated
German Americans OF the past will be asr
represented. A grand concerts sort of
union affair-will be given and the day
will be given over to general jollity.
Whatever our German citizens under
take is always well done, and in this affair
the REGISTER looks for something unuSu-
ally Creditable.

The Bestial Case Of Iones-The Clator'
ISbsrger Race TO-0ay-The New
President Who Voted for
the Obnoxious Sign
Ordinance.

Contrary to expectations F. E, h. Jones
failed to prove his innocence in police
court yesterday morning; on the contrary
a clear and aggravated case against him was
proved. Denis O'Keetfee, Esq, appeared for
him, but failed to get him out Of the diff
Guilty. Milton Parker and Ed. Moore had
seen part of the affair and overheard por-
ton of the conversation, and the little girls
themselves told their story in an innocent
and child.like way that carried conviction
with it. Jones had approached them
number Of times with indecent proposals,
accompanied by offers of money. but had
made no Roadway. The smaller of the two
children, frightened at the situation and
her surroundings in court, broke down
and Judge Jeffers refused to allow her to be
longer tortured.
Judge LETTERS said he would fine Jones $50
and costs, the full extent of the law, and
he was sorry he could not add thirty days
in the workhouse.
"Ain't you q little hard on my client"
asked Counsellor Okeeffe.
NO, sir" responded His Honor. "lf
had my way Id hang him."
Well, we'll take an appeal said Mr..
0'Keeffe.

ed in full accord with the Judge, but
Jones was thoroughly unabashed and even
smiled during the touching story OF the
girls. Subsequently, he paid his fine and
was released aud he will probably not try
an appeal. He has only been married a
short time and his wife seems perfect

Strange Freak of q Man in a Barber
shop.

Wednesday morning about 10 O'Clock,
says the Parkersburg Journdl, while Cash
CONS was engaged in cutting some gentle
mans hair, he happened to glance into the
looking glass and he saw an appalling re.
Election, that of drunken man, who had
entered the shop unseen and unheard, his
face covered with lather and blood. He
had a razor in one hand and was frantically
cutting away at his beard trying u shave
himself He had already made several ugly
ashes in his face and neck from which
the blood was dripping on n s collar and
Gown his shirt bosom. Cash had great diff
ticulty in getting the razor away from him,
rs he seemed determined to shave himself,
nor did he succeed in compelling him to
refrain until the fellow had made another
sickening cut in his neck. With the ss-
Sistance of E. L. McFadden, Cash washed
the fellows wounds and plastered him up
with court plaster. The fellow went away
on the Strecker with face looking like
last years dish rag.

Beach Rotiom villas - The Coming
Boom for welIsburg.
Passengers up the P. W. & KY. road are
struck by the several pretty villas which
ornament the station at Beach Bottom. It
Is lovely place and FIVE or six beautiful
homes have been put up recently. The
bottom land approaches the hills
in q series OF duties" or mounds,
each one OF which makes a commanding
site for cottage. The railroad company
has put up handsome and ornate station
and nothinR is wanting save q name.
beach Bottom is not very elegant or eapho-
NOUS and more suitable appellatIon Is in
order. Alton is suggested and is quite a
pretty name. Teaehertown and Professor
Vile have been offered, on account of the
number of public school professors wno
make their homes there.
wELLsBURG's BOOM.
The probability Of Wellsburg being at no
distant day a manufacturing point of some
importance, says the Ne,os, is apparent to
almost every one. Strangers from a dis
lance are almost daily in our midst, at
trscted here by the notoriety we have
gained of late, by reason OF the discovery
of natural gas, which is now being util re
as fuel in our manufactures, with great sue
cess, and which promises a revolution in
this valley in the near future. 1t can
no: be doubted that the inducements for
manufacturers Of every description to 10
cate hire are equal to any section in the
Ohio Valley, and in some respects far
ahead of the cities. Real estate can be
purchased at a reasonable price for mani
featuring sites, and disposition is mani
tested by a number of our citizens to en-
courage parties TO locate here by selling at
a low rate. As proof of this we can refer
to our friend MIR. Geo. w. Freshwaters,
who disposed Of a very eligible site to
Pittsburgh parties at $3.50 per acre, and we
have no reason TO doubt but that other
land owners will display the same mag
nanimity in encouraging foreign capt.
talists. The shipping facilities are good,
and in addition to the river and railroad,
there is prospect for a competing line.
Our hihs abound with limestone, and
coal shaft having been recently sunk, which
produces an article having quslitles for
certain purposes of superior character,
there is no danger of a scarcity OF fuel,
should the bottom drop out Of our gas we'll
in the course of human events, as some as
sert In view OF these facts, and from pres
ent appearances we are led to believe that
Wellsburg will soon become manufactur-
town of some note.

"ONE or En-"
For long time an ordinance has been
on the city statute books making it unlaw.
ful for a sign to project more than twenty
four inches on Market stree, between
Twelfth and Sixteenth, aud on Main be
tween Tenth and Twelfth. This stood a
dead letter on the books until the Bosrd OF

force it. This raised a great cry OF dis
elimination, and to meet the difficulty au
ordinance making the offence general was
adopted at the last meeting of council. II
the Second branch the vote stood:
For-Messrs. Butts, Gator, Dickman,
Fadden, Mckinley, Peterson, Stanley,

Rosenberg and SchIltze-4.
A REGISTER reporter enquired OF Clerk
Galiig, n, of the First Branch, for the vote
in his Branch, but he declined to give it
and finally said it was passed by an unani'
nous vote.
The work went on, yesterday, and the
'cussiug" went on just as vigorously. One
or two men declared their intention OF re-
Sisiing the enforcement Of the ordinance

would petition for a repeal at the next
