The Island DamseIs Promenade the Streets
i'm Boys Clothes.
For some time past rumors have been
waited to this side Of the river OF the wild
pranks played by the Island girls. At first
no attention was paid to these rumors but
as they kept in circulation there seems to
have been some foundation. One thing is
certain, if the girls are doing as represented
this article will have the desired effect,
which is to check any repetition Of them;
and if there is really no foundation for
them, and the writer sincerely hopes there
is not, then this mention will do no harm.
The rumors are to this effect: Just after
he sable garment of night casts its first
shadow over this quiet retreat-the Island
q crowd of the Young ladies Of that portion
OF our city secure the services of several
suits of bows clothes and sally forth in
search ofconluests. Those so dressed &C
cost other Young ladies, who reside on the
Island while their confederates stand in the
lark and witness the fun. The young ladies
or girls who masquerade in this manner use
great caution in their exploits, for they
never attempt to accOst any one but such
persons as they are acquainted with. The
girls beyond doubt DO not see any harm
in their masquerading ana that is the great
'rouble there certainly is harm in 1t and
Ihev should be so convinced.

MECHANICAL MARVELS.


Two Attractive Wonders on Exhibition Mt
Grubb's.
A large crowd was collected on the side
walk at j. ". Grubbs iewelry store all day
yesterday, interestedly gazing at two me.
chaniC al wonders displayed in the window.
They were certainly worthy of the attention
they received. One was a handsomely
dressed dude monkey, with double eye
glasses, engaged in smoking a cigarette.
The. motions were perfect, and many per-
sons thought it was live animal After
putting the cigarette and emitting the smoke
in regulation style, it coolly raises its glasses
and surveys the crowd, at the same time
superciiously raising its eyebrows. 1t is
certainly a marvel Of mechanical skill
The second is no less wonderful In
handsome brass cage sits canary bird, in
lfe-like attitude A twig on one side is
touched and the bird breaks into song,
pouring ont the trills and MARBLES with
the mellow sweetness of regular songster.
Nothing could be more perfect, as the bird
moves Its head and witches its tail ike
thoroughbred seed cracker. These two
are the most perfect mechanical designs
ever seen in Wheeling.

THE BOTTLE WORKS ASSIGNMENT.

Forced by a Heavy Judgment-The As
sets and Liabilities.
The Sleubenville Bottle Works Company
made an assignment Monday, and it created
quite a ripple of excitement for time.
The Steubenville Gazette says, "the assign
ment is the result of ii Judgment for $1,000
against the concern taken by Sherrard,
Mooney 4 Co., IN the Court of Common
Pleas in session at Cadiz. The assets Of
the concern are estimated as follows;
Works $4,000, stock on hands $4,000, ma
terial 81 600 The liabilities are, mortgage
for s., 900, held by the Union Deposit Bank,
$4,000 judgment for Sherrard, Mooney d
Co., Sl,jO0 due Anderson for boxes, 5000
due the Market Street Coal Co., $500 due
the Pittsburg Pot Co. Whether the works
will sell for $4,000 in totced sale is
doubted by business men, and consequently
the assets are placed at the highest figures.
These works were started three years ago
as q cooperative concern, the Board of City
Improvement donating $1,000, making
capital CT $4,000, $1,000 having been
taken by other parties. The officers Of
the company are: President, Henry
Rink; Secretary, R. NJ. McGaw. The
other members of the Board are, Asa
Nevil, William Beck, Owen Fagen, Joseph
Clippard, Thomas Sigh, John Kern and
Martin Lang. After the matter of their
Indebtedness had been permitted to go so
far as to force them to an assignment the
company made arrangements to pay Oft all
Indebtedness of the company, and the
works will resume tomorrow under the old
management. This is most unfortunate
state of affairs in business, and looks like
incompetency. Why were the arrangements
not made before the assignment?

RANDOM REMARKS
or sehIects Of interest lust at This
Time,
West Virginia at the Cotton Centennial
Odd thoughts Of the Campaign
General Note and
Comment.

West Virginia, perhaps, because con-
vulsed with politics just now, has not taken
that interest in the Cotton Centennial, at
New Orleans, that it would seem to merit.
In point Of general Importance, this coming
great exposition will be second only to the
C ntennial Exposition at Philadelphia.
The most extensive arrangements have been
made and are now making, and no money
will be spared to make every department
success. 1t is of the utmost importance to
est Virginia to make her great resources
known to the world, and no better oppor-
tunity than this could be offered. New Or
leans will be visited by thousands of Euro
peans with special view to seeing what III
du cements to emigration the several States
are offering, and West Virginia should be
foremost with her ores, coal and manutac-
lures.
Mr.. c. NJ Pendle;on, of Morgan, son Of
Col. Phil. Pendleton, one of West Virginia
commissioners to this Exposition, is in the
city looking tor exhibits. de says that
while there will be fair exhibit ofmlnerals
and woods, he finds manufacturers do not
come forward with the alacrity they should,
and on the contrary show a backwardness
shout mourning the expense OF an exhibit
This should not be So West Virginia made
splendid exhibit at the Centennial and
,hould repeat the effort Supt. Butcher is
determined to make an exhibit of school
work and his example should be followed.
Mr. Pendeton would be pleased if any per
son or firm intending to make an exhibit
vould inform him.
