CHARLESTON, W. Va, November %
Mr.. s. NJ. Howard, architect of the Capital
building, arrived here the other day. The
recent action Of the Board Of Public Works
brings Mr.. Howard here at this time The
action Of the Board is no reflection upon
Mr.. Towards capacity or ability, and l
learn crows out Of misunderstanding be-
tween the architect and the Board.
The CITY Council voted not to accept the
proposition of the Charleston Gas Light
Co. 10 light the town, on the ground that
there was no money 10 pay for the eXpen
diture. The citizens OF this burg are
doomed for another season to roam IN utter
darkness.
Work is to be commenced on the water
works plant in q very short time.
PEBBLES Tstum, of Wheeling, who is here
in the capacity of U. S juror, was sum-
moned to his home in Harrisonburg, va,
Monday, by 3 telegram announcing the
death of his brother. He will return to
Wheeling Friday next.
VIM. G.. w. lager, of Baltimore, the
gentleman whom Judge Johnston, of Mer-
Ger, fined aud imprisoned for contempt,
arrived here Saturday last and is stopping
az the st. Albert.
The first train will probably run over the
Pt. Pleasant bridge on Thanksgiving
day.
The impression left By the dispatch to
the REGISTER the other day, announcing
the pardon By the Governor, Of d. j.
Lackey, of Csbell county, that the pardon
ing power was exercised on the ground of
the petition of the Judge and Jurors who
convicted Lsckey, alone was incorrect
The pardon was granted on the ground Of
rev evidence, and not alone on the peti-
ton. Gov. Wilson will rot exercise the
hardening power upon the mere presenta
ton of petitions. There must be some
thing more tangible than the ordinary petit
ton.
Charleston has an investigation on hand,
but not Of the character Of that recently
gone through in Wheeling. A contrsc'
tor Of the building Of q $1,000 sewer, is
charged With slighting bis work and tai!
ing 10 construct the same according to
contract. The city engineer, McDermott,
as well as the contractor, is charged with
failure to perform the duties in the prom
ises.

To DAY, people in every nook aud corner
Of sur land will be engaged in merry max
ing. But for Thanksgiving day to be 3
success people should not only feel glad
tor the .bountiful blessings that have been
poured cut upon them BY q benefcent
Providence, but should, while they are en-
jo5iug these bene6rs, ask how it is with
bOse whom fortune has not dealt SO kindly
with. It Is not enough for persons who
srs,iu prosperity and plenty to look with
OOmplscency upon those who are in want,
and offer CD thanks that they are not as
other men are. Those who would gain
real enjoyment will scatter blessings around
them, and b. doing others good do them
selves good.

A Fastival Walk.

This is Ascension day, observed in all
Roman Catholic and Episcopal churches
as festival sacredly kept In commend,
ratien of the ascension of Jesus, which is
shown by the evangelistlc record to have
occurred on the fortieth day after his res
direction. Thursday is the day always
observed, and it is also called by some
Holy Thursday. All cyclopedists agree
that it has been observed at least since A.
d. IS, and perhaps earlier. Services app
propriate to the day will be held in every
church of the denominations named in
the city today and it will be holiday
for their schools.
: According to the ecclesiastical calendar
the three days preceding Holy Thursday
or Ascension day, are rogation DAYS
They derive the name from the custom of
offering on these days supplicatio ms or
latanies, called rogations, for blessing
upon the fruits of the earth, or as prep
aration for the devout observances of
Ascension Day. In the primitive church
these rogations were made by the Bishop
or some of the clergy in the open fields
Mamertus, Bishop of Vienna, who flour>
ished in the latter half of the fifth centu-
ry, was the first to establish the custom,
which Is still followed in many parts of
Europe. In cities and towns of the old
countries perambulations of the parish
boundaries are still practiced by the cler-
gy and people.

THE MOLINE REGATTA.
Final Arrangements for the Festival
of Professional Oarsmen.

The date and programme of holding
the regatta for professional oarsmen at
Moline, has finally been settled upon. The
date selected is June Is, which will be on
Saturday, and the entrance will be
open to the oarsmen of the world.
Among the noted competitors will be Ja>
cob Gardner, of st. Louis, who is ac-
knowledged to be the leading sculler on
the continent of America, and George ii.
Hosmer, of Boston, who has distinguished
himself as having made the fastest three
miles on record. Others booked are John
Mckay, of Halifax, and Harry Parker, of
St. Louis, who hold front rank among
American scullers.
The course of the races will be three
miles, with two turns, so that the entire
course may be seen from the grand
stand. A purse of 81 900 is offered, to be
divided into prizes as follows:
Single scull race, three prizes, $500.
$500 and 800.
Double scull race. $500.
Consolation single scull, 500.
For beating the three mile record, spec
ial prise of $500.
A handsome gold metal Is offered to the
winner in half mile canoe race, for the
amateur championship of the world. The
rules of the Mississippi Valley Rowing
association will prevail in all races
rowed.
The races will undoubtedly draw a
large attendance from near and far, and
will be well worth witnessing.

Yesterdays Circus.

Fully 10000 people must have visited
Burr Robbins circus and menagerie tents
in Davenports's pasture yesterday after4
noon and evening. As stated in yester-
days ARGUS, the show was a complete
success in every regard. The menagerie
displayed was interesting and instructive,
and many rare animals were seen there
that are seldom exhibited to the public.
The character of the ring performances
was excellent, each one performing his or
her particular feat in manner that ex>
cited wonder and often elected storms of
applause. Where SO many do so well,
comparison is almost invidious, but a
special word of praise is, however, due to
George Holland, the bareback rider, who
in many ways excels anything that has
ever been seen here before. Burr Rob-
bins exhibits all that he promises to, and
for the price charged it is remarkably

with any of the older tented shows on

The cars, carriages, wagons, tents, and,
everything connected with the show, is a
perfect example of neatness and cleanli-
ness. The private coach in which Mr..
Robins and his company travel, is
marvel of elegance and comfort, while
the other sleeping cars connected with
the show are so arranged as to give the
employees ease when travelling. Mr.. Rob
ms believes in having comfort and con-
venience, and giving his employees and
animals the same-not making life bur-
den simply because he is travelling show
man. He takes a sensible view of things,
and will profit by the course he is pursu'
ing.

Ernif Prnsnacts.

President McCagg. of the Union Hortl>
cultural society of Scott county. and who
is as well posted on fruit as any one in
this vicinity, says that grapes are entirely
killed. He has vineyard containing
ever two thousand vines and is of the
opinion they will not bear sufficient fruit
to satisfy the appetite of healthy ten
year old boy. The rigor and severity of
the weather killed the vines. which have
the appearance of being cooked. Pros
poets of a blackberry crop are exceedingly
poor, and not more than half crop is
expected. Raspberries, strawberries and
cherries promise an abundant yield and
have not been injured by the recent frosts
and cool weather. Danger is to be ap-
prended from the frosts which may occur
from the 25th to the 2Sth of May. Fol-
the past three years at this period the
fruit has suffered serious damage and il
that portion of the month is passed with
out injury no fears need be entertained.
By the first of June the raspberries,
strawberries and cherries will have suffi>
