When a Sunday in Wheeling brings with
it scorching heat-9l in the Shade-the

usual run of incidents for Monday morning
reading Yesterday was such a day, only
more so. Those who could escaped the
heat and dust of town by going to the coun-
try. while others. in undress uniform, lolled
in the shade OF their own vine and fig tree.
The streets were deserted by the crowds
whose presence so often contributes to news
and those who did penance in Drawing the
sun for morning church took absolution in
an afternoon of inglorious ease and idle
ness When Wheeling is dull it is terrific
ally dull and sleeping police officer would
be a relief The hotel lobbies were de.
serted, and not prying stranger spread his
autograph on the registers. So it was very
dull.

A HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
A Man Relieved of His Watch In Broad
Day Light


Yesterday afternoon one Of the boldest
highway robberies ever perpetrated in this
city was consummated. 1t is true beyon q
doubt that the victim was under the inhu-
ence of liquor at the time, vet that does not
lessen the crime one iota. The facts in the
case as learned from a reliable source are
as follows: Mr. Donovan, of North Wheel
ing, was stopped at the intersection Of Alley
and Alley c by a man, about half
past o'clock, Yesterday afternoon, who
presented pistol at his inebristed victim
and compelled him to disgorge. Donavan
had no money with him but had an open
face silver watch, which was quickly trans
ferred to the highwayman, who Immediately
made good his escape.
Another version of the affair, which could
not be confirmed is as follows Donovan
and man went into Alley B. near the in
tersectiou of Alley I. for the purpose Of
taking drink together While in the
alley the man quickly presented a pistol
and demanded DonOvans wealth. Upon
securing the watch the rascal made tracks
for parts unknown. 1t is hoped that the
robber will be captured and receive the full
extent of the law for such a crime.

A very conservative man and one who
votes his own ticket without much regard
n party platforms or candidates, expressed
. mself on Saturday, in regard to the candi-
,la,y of B'ainc. Said he:
If The Democratic papers continually
air Blainc's ordOrous record it " lose hi IL
some votes and NAV not Among the large
floating vote which decides all elections, it
will have the effect, in some cases, of alien
ating votes, while in others will only Solidity
them With some men, to abuse their can
didate is to make them work the harder for
him. But their is another course to be
adopted, which will carry Blaine down before
a satisfactory Democrat. Blaines policy,
while Garfeld's premier. was not such as to
commend him to certain large interests
which would suffer in the face of anything
looking like war with foreign powers. The
idea that Blaine would never permit the
United States flag to be insulted, would car
nv weight with many persons, but those
who have the interests | speak of regard
him as one who would walk around with a
chip on his shoulder dcfying anybody to
knock it off 1t is that fear Of Blaines ad-
ministration that will ALLEVIATE such papers
as the Boston Herald, New York Times and
other leading Republican papers and i'm,
peril the business votes Of New York and
Boston.

Last week quite number Of persons
were interested in the Ross Courtney race,
but could hear nothing o! it. The follow
ny dispatch tells the story 1t is dated in
New York, on Saturday:
The much-talked-of boat race between
Courtney and Ross was, OF course, not
rowed to-day. The great hunker lunked as
usual, and when the hour for the race came,
although the course was as smooth as a mill
pond, was not on hand to row. Ross rOwed
over rhe course and got the $4,000. The
500 was to 90 to the loser but under the cir
cumstances Mr. Courtney does not get this.
Courtney in an interview tonight
says there was no 81, 500 put. up; that the
public was deceived. That PilkingtOn's
plan was to have the race rowed and Ross
Iake one-third, Courtney One-thlrd and
Pilkington and Nagel one-third. In short
hat it was a hippodrome throughout
uurtnev SAYS that the reason he did not
ow to-day was because Pilkington would
rot give him his share of the receipts on
decoration Day, which he says were very
arge. Courtney says he has 81 900 to bet
lat K, IS cannot beat him. Courtney is
act down BY all the sporting men as living

Yesterday.


Yesterday was indeed gala day for the

were packed to overlooking by the untiring
throngs of persons anxious to escape from

at Wheeling Park and Seiberts Garden.
The pike itself presented lively sight,
thronged as it was with vehicles of
every description, each bearing
gay party of pleasure seekers bound
for the Park. The number Of tickets for
persons and vehicles at the gates yesterday,
it was impossible at the time of the report

the neighborhoOo of 1000. The crowd, on
first entering the grounds, did not strike
reporter as being excessively large vet
short tour among the walks showed innum-
cradle parties grouped in various retreats
and ENJOYING the numerous amusements
provided BY the company. An excellent
custom is in vogue among the directors at
large to be present at every concert and their
presence adds much to the confidence of
the people at large, that no unseemly dis
turbance will occur. At ) P " the pleas
