A number Of orr county officers were in
terested spectators of the debate in the
House on s. B. No. 5.
There were many vacant chairs in the
House yesterday. At one time the Speak
ers vote was necessary to make quorum.
There was q mistake in the report of
S. B. No. l07 introduced yesterday by SEN
ator Morris. The bill, instead Of amending
the school law so as to require vote upon
making q local levy every two years, which
is the law at present il abolishes the law
which provides for a biennial election after
the vote of 1885.
In the course of the debate on S. B. No.
5, in the House, Delegates Marshall and
Workman protested vehemently against
small counties like Boone and Mcdowell
and Lincoln being compelled to pay their
county court clerks 5000 salary for twelve

Whereas, This committee deem it ex-
pedient and, indeed, absolutely essential,
that prior to the introduction Of ladies' into

be made for them; therefore, we recon-.
mend the passage of the following:
Resolved, That the Committee Vn Taxa

blank dollars to be placed at the disposal
of the Board of Regents of the West Vir.

their direction, for the purpose Of securing

New YORK, February THE craze over
roller skating has reached such a pitch that
it has become matter for serious con-
sideration. Manufacturers and those hav-
ing large number of young persons in
their employ say the effect on their busi-
ness is very bad. The employees come to
their places of work weary and cross
and neglect their duties. In many
instances firms are posting up
notices saying that attendance upon a Skat-
ing rink is equivalent to discharge. The
physicians are also making a crusade
against the rinks. They pronunce them a
peculiarly injurious to women inducing
diseases that ARE difficult to combat. A
general cry against rinks on the score of
morality is also heard. 1t is asserted that
they have caused the ruination Of more girls
in New York city than all the PROGRESSES
have in ten years. The same complaint
also comes from all towns where the rink
has been in operation for any length of
time. The reputable classes in all com
munities in the East are outspOken in their
denunciatiou Of rinks

CLEVELAND, February At has been
learned that the numerous incendlary hres
which destroyed millions of dollars worth
of property in this city some months ago,
we're started by man known to have been
connected with the Chicago Socialists He
was shadowed by detectives, and seen to 90
into drug store and write prescriP-
ton, which was filed By the clerk. The
detectives had some more Of the liquid pre-
pared and found that when applied to wood
it began to burn after about half an hour.
This explained why the FIRE always broke
out in places where no fire was near. The
man could throw the liquid secretly and get
out of the vicinity long before the fire broke
out The police did not arrest the man at
once, but watched him, hoping to detect him
in his crime. He became alarmed, how
ever. aud escaped from the city. At the
same time the fires ceased. As he cannot
be found, after dihgent search, the police
have allowed the story to become known.
