An Interesting Question.

In the course oftie debate during last
nights session Of the special committee Of
Council charged with reporting upon the
desirability of placing the Police and Fire
Departments under The control OF a Board,
the point was made by Chairman Cald,
well that, in his opinion, q Chief Of
Police had no legal right to dis.
miss deputy on,e con6rme ed
by Council. He said it was his impr ssisr
that mas much as the Legislative acts upon
which the city charter and government
rests prescribe and tes forth that city Of
cisl could only "be removed from Office BY
the Council of said city, two,thirds Of the
whole number of the Council Of the
city concurriug in such removal" q
removal could be brought about in nc
other way, and that Sec 5, Of the ordinance
in relation to Sergeant, giving that official
power to revoke the appointment of any
deputy, was void, by reason of being in
COZ act with the Legislative enactment.
Toe point thus raised opens wide field
for debate pro and con, and may result, al
some time, in q rather complicated state
OF affairs through dismissed deputy dc
clining TO doff his uniform.

n have ControI OF the Police and Fire De-
oartment..The Ordnance Drawn Up.
Messra. Caldwell. chairman, and Hot
man. List, Dobbins and Waterhcuss, Of
thespecial committee appointed to eonsid
er the advisabiTty of putting the Police
and Fire Departments under Beard, met
at the City Hall last evening to further
consider the questions submitted
to them. After the minutes of the first
meeting of the committee bad been read,
Chairman Caldwell stated that in the time
elapsing since the former meeting, he hsd
devoted considerable time and thought
to the matter. he had looked at
the law relating to terms OF
Office of city officers, and hsdfound MIR.
Lists idea of one commissioner going out
every year was imprsctieable. Section g
of the Act of 1870, relating to the city,
provided that the terms of sill officers
should be for two years, and, while he
thought the idea of making one change IN
the Beard every year good one, he saw
no means Of getting over the law until the
Legislature should meet. The Chair then
read to the committee the draft of an ordi-
nance carrying into effect the idea OF
Board of Control. The ordinance is very
lopg, containing 43 sections, and goes over
the subject of very thorough manner.
In that part Of the ordinance setting
forth the duties of the clerk Of the Board,
| it is provided that book, to be known as
a complaint book, shall be kept in the
Office of the Board, in which the public
NAV enter complaints against any member
of the two departments over which the
Bard has supervision and control, and the
Board is to investigate all such complaints
thoroughly, and if the facts are found 10 be
true, shall report the same to Council. II
is further provided tina. the Board may sns
pend any member of either department fol
thirty days, without pay, and in the event
of desiring the discharge of any man, the
Board is 10 report the fact to Council with
the reasons therefor, if Council shall ask
them. But no such removal shall be
recommended to Council, or suspension
for more than ten days shall take place
unless notice in writing be first given Z
said officer, with dates, names, and al
other data necessary to enable said oHieel
to mske.a defense.
Another section provides that no person
shall be appointed in either department
who cannot read, write and speak the In
glish language, and the person 50 appoint
ed shall not be interested, directly or indl
rectly, in any saloon or,place where NAL
or spurious liquors are sold. 1t is further
provided that no member of either depart
ment shall 60 into any saloon or house, o
IilLfsme, or any suspicious house, having
on any portion of his uniform, and vic
lation of this makes it obligatory on th'
Board to recommend his removal to Coun
Gil and shall be sufficient cause for suci
removal.
The ordinance was considered BY TIT
members of the committee until quite
late hour when an adjournment was ia
ken. The ordinance is to be reported L
Council next week.

ylce-Prssident Stephens Tells What he
Thinks About the Situation, and Secre-
tary wiser Of the Nail Association,
Shows the ImpossibiIib of
Compromise

A great many opinions have been ex-
pressed by the Press In cities interested IN
the nail business as to the prospects OF an
early settlement of the differences now ex'
listing betxeen manufacturers and work
men. The following from the Pittsburg
Post Of yesterday is pertinent to the situa-
ton and will be Of interest:
The fight between the nailers and man
ufacturers has assumed lively phase.
Yesterday afternoon Vice President
Stevens decided to open the batteries and
deliver broadside into the manufacturers
ranks.
The time has come" said he, for US
to open fire and we are going to do it with
out any palaver. The contest is becoming
bitter partly because of the determinations
and useless assertions made BY the manu-
facturers. You may look out for some
thing rather lively in few days. Score,
tary Wise, OF the Manufacturers Associa-
ton, has again rushed into print and makes
an appeal for them on the ground that
they cannot pay the 2l-cent card rate
Now we have shown BY figures, which We
are willing to vouch for as correct, that
the cost Of making key of nails ready
for shipping. with the present ia:
cilities. cost of iron and OF
labor reaches $3.50. This leaves nice
profit, on each keg. need not quote
those figures Sgain, but viii use for my
argument the fact that number of mills
in this and the Western district are run,
ming at thst price. Does any fair-minded
person think that these firms would operate
their mills at lossP Besides, have rot
the Eastern nsilers been granted an adj
vance ofl0 per cent, and are now work
| ing at the eighteen-cent card rate. Has il
not always been the custom to pay them
\ Is per cent. lees than the amount paid in
j the West2 Another point which raise Is
that the increase in capacity in 1884 in
this section was $50 900 kegs, against only
| s 600 kegs in the East.
"What are the prospects of an early set.

porter.
"Something will probaly drop 10 day
or two. Nails are bringing 1925 key
and are scarce at that. A representative
of Sickles, Preston & Co, jobberS, Of Dav'
export, Iowa, who was in the city yester'
day, said that hia firm was disgusted with
the delay aud trouble in securing nails, and
talked of commencing the erection OF mill
In the event of the failure of an early set
Element. There were few better invest
ments in their opinion"
Vice President Stevens leaves the city on
an important mission next Monday. His
destination and object are known TO but few
of the craft, who refuse to divulge The trip
is looked on with significance BY the locked
out men.

His Life.

Alexander Lsughlin was the son of John
and Nancy Laugblin. and Was born 10 this
city, January 10, 1884, being the youngest
of a family Of ten. His father died May
5, 1856, at the age OF 65, and his mother in
GAINESVILLE, O., October 2, 1882, at the age
of 90. In 1854 deceased, in connection
with his brother Samuel and the late s. B.
Busbfeld, established a drug house
in this city, continuing the bust
ness for ten years. 10 1864
the firm was changed 70 Lsughlu Bros. 4
Co., under which title it continues until the
present day. This WAS the first wholesale
drug house established in West Virginia
On September I, 1859, Mr.. LaughIin was
married to Miss Lizzette LsmpiDg, who
died February Is, 1881. Five children
were born OF this union. Frederick, Nellie,
LOUIS, Alexander and Elite, all Of whom
except Nellie, are living.
In 1867 or 1868 Mr.. Lsughiin became
President of the Benwood Iron Works,
holding the position until 1878, and con-
dacting the business of the company In the
most successful manner.
When the Lsughln Nail Company was
formed and the Lsughln mill purchased,
in 1878, Mr. Laughin became president OF
it, and made of the same success which
had characterized his connection with the
Benwood mill. The mill cost $50 600, and
the first year, profits far more than repaid
the money expended on the property
When the Junction Nail Company was
formed Mr.. Laughlin became heavy
stakeholder in the concern, ard exercised
a large and banifcent Influence in the di.
rection ofthe business Of the company.
Mr.. Laughlin was one of the most prom
inent and influential members of the West
ern Nail Association, and was everywhere
recognized as one of the great nail manu-
facturers of this country, welding wide
influence in all matters relating to the
trade. 1t is very largely owing to the en-
terprise and business skill of the deceased
that Wheeling came to be known as the
greatest nail manufacturing city in the
world, and in his death the community has
suffered the less OF a citizen We can lily
afford to spsre.
Mr. Lsughlin was possessed in a re-
msrksble degree of those noble qualities
of head and heart through which distress 40
suffering is daily allevisted or removed.
Apparently somewhat rough in manner,
his nature was kindness itself, and it was
his delight to seek out and supply the
wants Of the deserving needy, His circle
of friends was Ts-y large, and by such as
knew HIN intimately his worth was sppre-
cisted at It's full value, and he was held in
warm esteem.
1t had long been Mr.. Laughlin's fear
that he would die in the manner be did,
and he has repeatedly expressed himself to
friends that he expected TO die suddenly
and without warning. His forebodipgS
were but too truly realized
