On a Visit.

Early on Monday morning through
the kindness of Mr.. Geo. w. Williams,
we visited the school building lately
erected in this town, The appearance of
the outside is not attractive. 1t is o solid
plainly finished, with no gingerbread
work on it. 1t is almost square, sets back
from Main street about feet There
is ample play grounds at the rear, and
altogether the young folks will have no
cause to complain about not having
room. Entering the door on the north
side we found ourselves in a short hall.
On the left was two doors, one leading to
a cloak or recitation room, while the
other led to the regions below. Going
farther on we were ushered into a large
room, used by the primary classes. The
ceiling and walls are white-coated, and
as high on the walls as one can reach are
black-boards extending around the whole
room. On the other side of the building,
on the ground floor is identical with the
first room described. Passing out at the
door on the east side, we entered one of
the middle doors, and mounted the short
flight of steps. Turning to our right We
found another set of step. The rooms on
the second floor are similar to the ones
on the ground floor. There are numer-
GUS windows in the building which the
sun, shining through, frightened the
rooms and gave the interior a most
bright, cheerful look. Early as it was a
number OF the scholars were present,
and they all seemed proud of the new
building, and were busy finding desks to
suit them. The interior of the building
is far more attractive than the exterior,
and altogether We think that there will
be ample room, and no one will have
cause to complain. After the grounds are
placed in proper shape the building will
be very presentable and our commission
ers may be proud of it.

The scene is laid in our little town
The three who have figured mostly in
the occurrence are College student,
prominent merchant and maiden
lady who passed her teens some thirty
or more odd years ago. A purchase was
made, but times were hard and the lady
forgot her Indebtedness. The store
keeper did not however, and this the
aged maiden learned. Her dignity be-
came aroused and after many tears,
threats and attempts TO return the article
to the former owner but without avail,
the services of the student proved neces-
sary. He could not think of doing it,
but she in her frenzy of wrath, thought
otherwise and uncermoniously let him
have the article just below the shoulders
in the neighborhood of the back bone.

The members of Newark Lodge No.
IL, l. o. G. T., held in their room in Ex-
change building in honor of the event of
the orders second anniversary which
occurred on March the Sth, was quite n
pleasant evenings entertainment. During
the regular session number Of short
addresses were made by male members
who gave brief description of the or
ganization of the lodge in the NJ. L.
Church here on March the Sth, 1888, and
its progress from that date up the pres
ent time. AT the conclusion of the reg
ular order of business, committee of
five ladies made hasty arrangements of
that which would satisfy the palates as
well as the efforts of the amateur orators
had satisfied minds. A long table was
brought into service, upon which were
spread in endless variety and abundance
Refreshments, consisting of cakes,
oranges, bananas and etc, Of which full
justice was done. Several toasts were
offered for the welfare and prosperity of
the order in the future, after which the
fragrants were cleared away and soon all
traces Of the festive occasion ceased to be
seen, for which much credit is due the
gentleman" they having handled the
broom to the unsurpassed merriment Of
the ladies, to whom they gave few hints
in the art Of sweeping.

Bayard on Horse Back.

Bayard, Lamar and Garland arc as UNI
like in their Compartments as though
they had come from three of the four
corners of the earth, yet their peculiar
tiles of mind and habit have tended rath-
err to attract them together than the con
trary. Each understands the other
perfectly, and when the three We're to-
gether in the informal but most attrac-
tive club-room known as the Senate
cloak room, they were pretty sure to call
around them all Senators who could
leave their places on the floor.
Mr.. Bayard, had he lived in England,
would have been landed proprietor, with
a seat in Parliament. The open-air life of
an English squire would have filed the
measure of his desire for pleasure. He
would have been found on the best horse
that could be bought whenever there
was a meet, and the bigger the fence, or
the deeper the ditch the better he would
have liked it. If he was not in at the
| finish it would be because he had not all
the go there was in his horse out of him.
Washington there is nothing he likes
better than to get ON a frisky horse, go
out upon the country roads, or get into
the fields and let the animal out. Some
times, if you happen to be away out by
| the late Montgomery Blair's country
place six miles north of Washington, you
will see Bayard giving his horse full rein,
| sitting like dragon, though the animal
may be galloping well within three min
utes.
Mr.. Arthur, who is rather proud of his
skill on horse back, once came across Mr..
Bayard, who shot by him on rough road
| like flash, yet saluted the President
| with as graceful gesture as though rid
ing at ease in his carriage. Mr.. Arthur
was nightly impressed by the Senator's
Workmanship. The only things that
would ever tempt Mr. Bayard to absent
| himself from the Senate were the Ivy
| Park and Pimlico races, and when two
three years ago he acted as one of the
judges in great race, and the pace was
hot and the race close, and the thousand
there shouting and following the horses
| like mad, the Senator's intellectual face
| turned a shade paler, but otherwise
showed no emotion, though he afterward
said that his heart beat thousand times
minute
Mr.. Bayard is great pedestrian. He
walks with long, steady strides, and
walks because he loves to. A little jaunt
over to Arlington or four or five miles
back to Georgetown is delight to him.
Never, unless in great hurry, used he
to ride to the Capitol. 1t is good mile
and a half from his house to the Senate
chamber, and he almost always walked
both ways. on his return generally arm
in arm with with Senator Pendleton.
Between himself and Mr.. Pendleton
there has grown up a friendship that is
one of rare instances born of political
acquaintance, and Mr.. Bayard's friends
believe he felt far more regret when Ohio
failed to return Mr.. Pendleton to the
Senate than when the National Conyen-
ton failed to nominate him (Mr. Bayard)
for the Presidency.

THE claim is made for Ludwigsburg
Germany, of having produced for the
Cathedral at Riga, Russia, the largest
organ ever constructed. There are in il
1000 pipes and 124 stops, with pedals
etc, proportionately numerous. The
organ is sixty-fve feet high, the largest
pipes being thirty-two feet long, and the
smallest half an inch. The instrument
is said to have very complete "swell''
arrangement, thus allowing the increase
and diminution of sound to be effected
with peculiar perfection.

Again the sun sheds generous beams,
The frightening days new vigor feel;
Into the dark and frozen mould
A living warmth begins to steal.
Not yet the full awakening,
Not yet the bird in choral glee:
Only at mondays brightest hour
The brook begins its minstrelsy.
Thus in the stiffness and the prayer.
My soul her coming Lord perceives
And ere the watch is past beholds
The reddening of Easter leaves.
Not yet the loud TIE Deum's strain,
Not yet the full triumphant lay,
But in this Lenten hush we know
Emmanuel is not far away.

bystander, replied eff there's God,
let Him punish me-" The man was at
once stricken with paralysis and fixed in
the position in which he stood. Not on

the ground and could not be removed,
and the neighbors had to cover him with
rugs to protect him from being frozen.

INGRowING ToE-NAILs.-As this is very
painful malady, it may be worth great
deal to some of our very many readers
to say that the trouble is not with the
nail, but with the flesh, which gets push
ed upon it, thereby becoming infamed,
and the inflammation and swelling are
kept up by the presence of the nail,
which then acts as foreign body. To
cure it, take the neighboring toe-which
by the way, is really the offender-and
with it press the swollen flesh down and
away from the nail, then bind the two
firmly together with adhesive strips,
which may be had at any drug store. If
the strips get loose and the flesh slips,
up on the nail again, readjust the toes
and put on fresh plaster until the flesh
rehabituates itself to its former place.
This is the only rational treatment. Let
sufferers try it and report.

The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1885-09-22

It was discovered by the S;eubenville
police yesterday morning about O'Clock
that Jail delivery had taken place there,
and waking up the Deputy Sheriff they
found that freddy" Myers, charged with
stoning Panhandle railroad train, Thos.
Peters, OF Brilliant, charged with cutting
with intent to kill and franklin Sayder, a
fiteen year old boy from Hammondsyille,
charged with pocket-picking, were the
prisoners who had gained their liberty.
The Gazette says: The escape was made
by FIST breaking open cell door, then
cutting hole through the iron bars Of
the upper corridor, which let them down
into the lower corridor. Work was then
commenced on the bars OF the window
leading into Court street, the lower ends
being sawed oil and two bars bent upward,
making hole large enough for the pris-
oncrs to get through. 1t Ia supposed the
escape took place about 4 o'clock, as
Deputy Sheriff Sharp says the prisoners
were all in jail at s o'clock. The work
was done with a saw and chisel, which
were probably passed to the prisoners by
outside parties through one OF the
windows, there being no wall or fence
around the building to prevent persons
from doingso.

The well known McKeesport club, oil
McKeesport, Pa, will play here against
the Globes next Friday and Saturday.
The Globes haye made a strong addition
to their out6eld and will put in Dunn and
Westlake, who have done such satisfactory
work heretofore, as their battery In the
first game. For Saturdays contest the
Bellaire nine have secured a new pitcher,
and one who can be relied on to prevent a
repetition Of last Saturdays poor work.
Patterson and Jones will do the battery
work for McKeesport in Fridays game,
and Patterson and Smith will do duty on
Saturday. Patterson, Smith and Miller,
who were here With the Bells, will put In
an appearance with MCKeesport. Jones,
who will twirl the sphere on Friday,
pitched last year for the professional Al.
ieghenys, and Is q hard man to hit.
Strengthened as the Globes will be in the
box, these games should be very close and
full Of interest, and there Is but small
chance that the public will be treated to
such a wholesale exhibition Of smuggling
as was witnessed in the last Bell game.
