REMAINS
The Body of Miss Rebecca Stuart RecoT-
cred at Last.

The Body of Miss Rebecca Stuart RecoT'
cred at Last.
Our readers remember, doubtless, the sen
sation created throughout the city, and es
p~ecislly in North Wheeling, on the 7th o.
last December, by the sudden and mysterl
GUS disappearance Of Miss Rebecca Stuart
from the residence other uncle, Mr.. William
Stuart, at No. I'll North Main street, and
the sad drowning, a few ours later, OF Mr.
John McMasters, a resident of the Seventh
ward, who, with other gentlemen, was en-
gagged IN dragging the river for the body o.
The lady.
The remains were never found, and the
matter gradually faded from the public
mind, without any very clear theory of Miss
Stuart's fate having been formed By the out
tide world, although the relatives of the
lsdy were firmly of the opinion she had
brown herself into the water. Tuesday
mornings REGISTER contained a specla
from New Martinsville, telling Of the find
ing of the body ola woman in the Ohio, op
posite that place. The description given o.
the remains answered that of Miss Stuart
and yesterday morning Mr.. James Stuart
went down to New Martinsville with a view
TO identifying the body. The remains were
100 badly decomposed to be recognized, bu'
Mr. Stuart identified rings upon the finger:
ard the clothing as belonging to Miss
Stuart.
Under his direction the body was brought
up to this city last night, on the Ohio River
road, arriving here at 8:45 o'clock. 1t was
taken at once to the undertaking rooms o.
Friend & Son, from where the remains viii
probably be removed to the home Tor burial
to-day.

N%T ~ EsHNS
SIR: In netting the report Of the Finance
Committee in yesterdays issue, great care is
taken BY the committee to give the minority
portion Of the taxpayers some recompense
for the adoption Of the loan ordnance. Bat
alas, what has the msjority to receive for
their part Of the spoilsf Note the degrad.
ing cut in the salaries of the Fire Depart
ment. Do these respectable citizens expect
TO procure competent men for starvation
wages, men who are always on the alert to
save property Are they to be your FIRST tar
get Of operation2 Shame on that committee
and the element they represent. Nor do
they stop here, but the cut to keep the
expenditures within its boundaries is
all made at the poorest paid officials
OF your city. Is is fair play. Messrs Coun.
cilmen, when the different head officials are
receiving all the ssme salaries as they were
twenty years ago, and there is the head
clerks Of The different departments, six in
number, receiving from $1,000 to 81, 200
per year, with only eight or nine hours work.
But not stopping there, a few meetings since
the city clerk saw 6t, for reasons best known
to himself, to complain to Council OF being
overworked, and asked for an assistant;
that was granted to him ut $50 per month.
Verify, is not the discrimination to keep the
expenditures witt 10 limits made in favor Of
the highest paid otiicials2 But note the
cut all through the report of the various
committees is made directly at the working
class. Is not something to be done tor the
oppresse d p ople Of this city. While college
bred officials are allowed to live on all the
luxuries Of life the ones that must
work the longest hours are pinned into
slavery and oppression. Will not some Of
the noble-hearted Councilmen look out for the
oppressed class and see that there is fair play
ell around Pro Bono PUnLlCo.

manufacturers were inclined 70 be rencent,
and little or nothing could be obtained from

them to instill the idea in the reporters
mind that the owners were weakening ana
that they did lot stand on 9 ~rock+nooed
foundation. This idea was strengthened
when, later in the day, q prominent mailer
was net. In reply TO q question as to the
outlook be said: aWell, while there has been

the public, yet you can say that We are
reasonably confident, and think the trouble

sit is true that President Wier has gone

cont care to talk about his trip"
Upon what do you base your opinion
that the trouble viii be OF short durationH
"Ob, there are a number Of things. For
instance, several of our mills are hard at
work on repairs, and one or two are push
ing the work at night, which
is a very strange proceeding for
people who have shut down for a
long fight. Then, the mill warehouses are
about bare OF nails. Two Of our largest
concerns have but two or three thousand
kegs each, and orders are coming rapidly.
Large shipments were made to-day. Now
the manufacturers will never consent to be
idle with such a demand and nothing on
hand to meet it with. There are other
reasons, but the above are sufficient to show
you that we have cause for the faith that is
in u.s."
as the demand for nails heavier than be-
fore the striker
Yes, and for this reason: AS soon as the
Gu break between the nailers and manqtac.
lures became fixed fact, there was a grand
rush Of small fry dealers all over the West
for nails, and the stock in the hands OF job
bers was pretty well cleaned up without
nearly satisfying the demand. The jobbers
are nov clamoring for more stock, and as q
result the mills are being drained. This is
the busy season for building, and the result
of what l have outlined will be that the last
keg of nails in Wheeling will be run out
within a very short time, and the mills will
sign and start up as a consequence.
