ed family, but many share their sorrow.

FIRE BUGS.
Their Attempt to Burn Holidays
Planning Mill.
The Rascals Discovered and Their Schemes
frustrated Everything Arranged
For a Big Blaze.

Early yesterday morning a dastardly at
tempt was made to burn Holidays planning
mill, but fortunately the FIRE bugs were detect
edand scared off before their helliSh designs
could be accomplished. Why any one would
want to burn a planning mill, is certainly a
mystery unless their intention was re-
venge. The particulars Of the affair are as
follows; About 3 o'clock a young man
WI lie returning home from the
Fireman's ball at Arion hall noticed
three men burst open the gate At the plan
log mill and entered the premises. Not
liking their actions he turned his lady over to
a companion and slipped 10 the gate, dis
covering the men huddled together just
back of the shaving shed, and on entering
tie premises one Of the men arose and
ordered him off the premises, trying to per-
senate one OF the owners. This scheme
did net work successfully, for the gentleman
refused to leave, without being informed Of
their business. The spokesman attempted
to pull a revolver, but again he missed his
calculations, for the young man was ex'
pecting something, and out with his gun
and commenced shooting. This so com
pletely startled the intruders that they
rushed pell NELL from the premises, An
examination of the place where the mel
were first seen, showed that the gentleman's
fears were more than realized, for a large
pile of shavings and kindling wood had
been collected, aud had not the discovery
been made the mill would have been in
flames in a few moments.

DECLARKD OFF.


The Strike ut the Riverside MlII---Work
to be Resumed Monday.
Yesterday afternoon the owners of the
Riverside mill were notified by the executive
board of the A. A. of. & S. W. that they
had Withdrawn the order Of strike. AREG-
IsTER reporter fastened to the mill compa-
ny's office to ascertain if the good new was
really true. The general manager, Mr..
Frank Hearne, was seen, and in answer to
the query, as the strike settled?" he
replied, Eyes, sir; | was notified
this afternoon by the committee
that the Executive Board Of their Associa-
ton had Withdrawn the order to strike"
when will the works be again pat in mo.
TOM
ave want to start the factory and plate
mill next Monday, and you can say there
will be no changes. Every man will have
his old position, and that for them to report
for work promptly Monday morning"
"When will the steel plant resumeY
81 hardly know, but it will resume as soon
as the workmen can be brought together
probably next Tuesday" -.
This new will be received by all our citi-
zens with great pleasure, from the fact that
it gives employment to over 500 men in this
city, and to about $50 at the steel plant.
This throws into circulation nearly $4,000
in this city every two weeks. Another good
feature of this affair is that Wilson & Dun
Ievy's cooper shops in Benwood and North
Wheeling, which closed down with the mill,
will start up again Monday, putting about
$50 men and boys to work.

Something About Porter smith.
To hS Edar Of Is Re0iSay:
SIR:-The approaching Municipal cleo
ton of the office Of City Sergeant is the
general topic Of discourse INDUCED in By
the great mass Of voters. which is a fair in
'dicstion of the large interest taken in the
selection Of a gentleman for that position.
The essential qualifications required for the
Office Of City Sergeant are character and
capsbility. These Mr.. Porter Smith is pos
sessed of; he is a gentlemen Of vast exper-
fence in the cities affairs, having been q
member of Council for several years. he
has a keen perception and thorough knowl-
edge of what is needed to make al efficient
oficer, rs he filed that position once before
tor a short term and gave the city Of Wheel.
ing good and honorable administration.
II elected he will 6ll the bill admirably as
he would be the right man il the right
place.
The election of Mr.. Smith should not be
looked upon from q partisan standpoint, and
every voter who wishes to see corruption
and iniquity wiped out Of the city should
vote for him, as every citizen is fslly aware
of how much this dsmnsble practice is re-
sorted 10 in our midst. There is a prevail
ing impression in the minds Of a goodly
number Of our citizens that Mr.. P. Smith
voted for the formation Of the Board Of
Public Works. Now. this is 8 wrong i'm
preston to be entertained in the mind Of
any individual, as there is a means to throw
light on this matter by referring to the min
ute book OF the Second Branch of Council
oflSSl. Mr.. Smith battled with more de-
termination against the change in the citys
charter than any other member there. he
opposed it from its inception, but was al
ways in the minority. Those who try to in
jure his coed name without waiting to End
ont the true facts are no friends of his.
