South York street from Zane street to Vir'
GINA, and is now receiving bids for the
work. The portion OF the street to be i'm
proved, which lies in what at one time was
he Wheeling Skating Park, is about seven
hundred and forty feet in length. The
street has been, at various times. filled up
four to six feet for a considerable distance
in the swamp" and a foot of gravel will
make q substantial thoroughfare Of it. The
contract will probably be awarded during

Missionary Work.
Mr.. Edmond Randall, the well known
missionary, is in the ciey and held services

eled all the way from here to Washington
City inscribing biblical notices on rocks
along the way. He ia dependent on those

Early Closing.
The early closing movement which has
swept through Eastern mercantile circles
like q whirlwind, has made its appearance
in the Nail City, but as yet this very com
mendable scheme for the relief of clerks,
statesmen and shop girls has not been adopt
ed by any Of the many lines Of trade here
represented. The jewellers circulated q
paper during the past week, but two of the
leading firms refused to sign the agreement
and the project fell through One firm
however, that of Jacob W. Grub, will close
and it is thought the others may conclude
70 initiate him. The dry goods men arr
understood to be also talking over the early
closing movement, but as yet nothing ha'
uaierialiZed.
