ningham, ofthe First Presbyterian church,

semblage composed mainly Of the many
friends the bride possesses in this city.
The ladies especially were out in force and
in their handsome fall dresses
and wraps gave the scene q bright
and eliminated appearance. The
bride was attired in dark blue travelling
costume with hat to match. The only
attendants were the ushers. Messrs. Guy
R. G. Allen, of this city,and Will Hoffman,
OF Morgantown, a brother OF the groom,
and Messrs. Harry Mcclure, OF this city, and
Tom D. Campbell, OF Cincinnati, brother
Of the bride. Immediately after the cere-

WAITING FOR THE VERDICT.
The Investigating Committee to Make up its
Report thiA Evening.


For day or two little has been heard
Of the Grubb Investigation, 50 called, ex'
cept expressions OF curiosity as to what
the verdict is to be. Those who are &C.
qaaiuted with the members Of the COM
mitee and who know how sgnally Smith
and his few hangers on failed 10 make any
show OF case, laugh at the idea that there
Is possibility OF any verdict but an unan-
imous and complete acquittal. Said q
gentleman yesterday to friend who asked
him il he thought the committee would
exonerata Grub: "Your question is re.
Election on the committee. How could
they do anything else? 500.
II is expected that the committee, II 1t
concludes It's deliberations and finishes its
report this evening, will attempt to keep
the result from the public until the report
ia in the handso OF Council. 1t will DO re-
membered that this was the spparent feel
ing Of the committee Saturday evening.
The Police Gazette publication has arous-
ed general indignation. The malice that
dictated it was as apparent as that which
actuated Porter Smith in peijnring him
self to "get even" with the Mayor. There
can be no doubt that some OF the same
gang brought about the publication. 1t
will be remembered that the INTELLIGENT
GER gave away the Galligan Sunday eau
Gus at which the programme Of Smiths
partizlns was adopted. That programme
as published has now been carried out to
the letter. In the Police G0.etk article
there Is no reference TO the misdeeds and
inelticiency Of Smith, which being re-
ported to Council by the Mayor, caused
the filing Of the series OF ISLANDERS in
Council by Porter Smith. So one.sided q
publication could eminate from but one

there first, thus compelling the Resolule
to fall back, as the channel is not wide

OF the New Public Buiiding-The County
Commissioners.
The present Indications are, that the
Board Of County Commissioners at its
regular monthly meeting next Monday
will accept the city's proposition to trade
tho north end of the new Public Building
to the county for the present Court
House property. Yesterday q majority
Of the members Of the Board spent sew
oral hours in examining the portion 1t is
proposed to have the county occu-
py. Architect Hamilton accompan-
led the party and explained the
plans he has made for altering the north
end SO as to accommodate all the county
departments and offices, the cost Of the
same and the time Necessary to make the
contemplated changes. The members OF
the Board present expressed themselves
as very well pleased with the plans, and
the hope was expressed that the entire
Board in its own peculiar wisdom might
see fit to coDsummate the exchange Of
property. After making careful
examination oithe north end, the party
paid the south end visit and inspected
the fitting up that is being done for the
city. The work there pleased the gen.
tlemen very much and il the county
should decide to take the north end, 1t is
probable that the Same general plan being
followed by the city will be carried out in
fitting up the county's part.

Talk of Giving stsubsnvilie Paddlers Several
Months Work.
An interview with President Wallace, Of
the Jefferson Iron Works, says the Steu-
benyille Gazette, disclosed the fact that the
rumor OF a start this week on the 2l.cent
scale has no basis whatever, Mr.. Wallace
stating the probabilities were that no nails
would be made by the Jefferson this year,
although owing TO the progress made by
the down river mills in securing feeder
nailers" the resumption here, which will
be on the 1.7.cent scale when it does
come, may occur sooner. Answering an
INQUIRY about another rumor Mr.. Wallace
stated that the company recently had an
interchange OF views with the puddlers
formerly in their employ regarding the
conversion into muck bar OF about
5000 tons OF pig metal left over when
they began making steel nails, but
that nothing definite had been deter
mined upon, as they had not yet been
able to find market for the muck iron
which would Justify the payment Of S.
per ton for pudding, which was what the
boilers asked for the work. He further
stated that the Company did not desire to
make any profit on the muck beyond
what could be secured for pig and the add.
ed cost Of manufacture, but he thought II
the boilers were given four or six months
work 1t would be better for steubenyille
than TO have the wages distributed else
where. From other sources we learn
that the manufacture Of 5000 tons Of pig
iron into muck bar would employ from
80 to 90 men from four to six months,
which would be real benefit to steu.

confined in the Woodsifeld Jail evsrsince.
He should have been tried and hung dur

some time past he has refused to speak q
word, and the Woodsfeld Spirit says that
10 test whether he lost the power Of
speech and whether he was in his right
mind, Ds. Armstrong and Farquar put
him under the influence Of powerful an
asthetiC, which, instead Of causing him to
talk, had the effect Of making him toot

OF steamboat, and to dance Tor some
time in an energetic manner, The physi.
clans entertain the opinion that he has
not lost the power OF speech. Their re-
port will be madr to the Court this week.

yesterday. Some people were disguised
at the lack OF sense OF the City Sergeant,

The claim OF the CaldwellI has always
been that the Strengthening OF the run was
a part OF the contract made by the city
when she took into her limits the Cald-
well flats, and that the Strengthening was
to be from Mt. Zion cemetery, far up on
the hill, a short distance outside the city
limits. That the Strengthening oil the
run ia an important matter no one will
deny. The part Of it now in the city is
very crooked and greatly impairs adioin-
ing property. The original idea was to
straighten it SO that it would run along
the south side OF Fairmontstreet Twenty
ninthl. There is nov an opportunity
TO compromise the suit in chan
Gerry provided the city will straighten the
run from the east side of Wood street TO
the yer and run it through the centre Of
Twenty.ninth street. The Board has made
an arrangement with property owners on
the north side OF that street by which they
agree to give to the city fifteen feet of the
south side OF their lots, thereby making
the street seventy.fvc feet wide and allow
ing room for the run and roadway on
both sides. The property owners between
Wood aud McCul.och streets have offered
to do the same, but the Board does not bind
itself to straiGhten the run east OF Wood
street until 1t sees fit. The offer 10 make
the compromises made with the condition
that from Wood street west the work is to
be done as soon as possible, and as soon as
done the suit is to be dismissed. The city
in doing the work ia to. be guarded sgainst
any liability by the plaintiffs in the case.
The Communication OF the Board embrac-
ed a resolution ordering the work as de.
scribed above done aud pledging the old
City Building property on Market street
for tho performance and payment Of the
work, which is estimated will cost about
$4,000. The resolution was adopted by
this Branch.
