conclusion of his debate with MIR.
Douglas. Careless of his attire, un-
graceful in his movements, l thought,
as he came forward to address the au-
dience, that his was the most ungainly
figure l had ever seen upon platform.
Could this be the Abraham Lincoln
whose speeches had read with so
much interest and admiration-this
plain, dull-looking man the one who
had successfully encountered in debate
one of the most gifted speakers of his
timer The question was speedily an
swered by the speech.
Mr.. Lincoln was not polished
writer, but he wrote correctly and with
great precision. In clearness of ex-
preston, in conciseness, in the use oI

IRON AND GLASS.
The Talk Of the Mill Boys, ysstsr-
day.
Last Evenings Meeting Of Feeders---The
Glass Situation the Same
as last Winter.

The mills were all running as ulusl yes
terpay with the same forces at the La Belle
and Belmont factories, and an increase of
one machine at the Riverside and two at
the Top Mil factories. The nails are slow
ly increasing in excellence as each day rolls
BY, and some are fully as good as those
turned out by the old nailers.
The meeting Sunday afternoon was fully
discussed yesterday by the ~nsilers, who o
are firm in their convictions that the nail

NEVER BE ALLED U
At the meeting Sunday afternoon there
were several in'etsting discussions be-
tween union and non.un'on f~ee!e,s. The
foundation of The t .lBs of the outsiders was
mainly upon the reduction in wages, while
the union mel climed they had
been driven into the mills by the
actions of the nsilers and mould not come
out unless they were pledged a machine
apiece. A prominent mailer last night, on
u reporter mentioning this incident, was
decided in his language as to the nailers
refusing to let the feeders keep q single ma
chine in case they won the battle. The
amendment offered on the supposition that
the mills would put in new machines in or
der to keep their
FAITH WITH THE EEDER
made no impression on the mailer, who
claimed that it was 8 point of honor with
his organization that not a single one OF
the feeders be allowed to keep a machine
after the trouble was settled.
The Wheeling branch Of the Feeders
Union held their usual weekly meeting at
K OIL. Hall last night. Nothing OF i'm
p~ortance was done, although there was
several hot arguments over the situation.
The meeting was presided over BY Presi-
dent Hill, but was shiny attended, owing
doubtless to the minstrel performance. The
feeders are sll ~ssnguine of securing their
ends and predict that by the middle ofSeP-
tember there will be
GRAND RUSH OF FEEDERS
for machines, as by that time the mills will
have their steel plants finished and have the

mistake in reference to the Martins Ferry
eeders in Sundays REGISTER. This lodge

The Ringeold Cavalry Reunion.

The Ringgold Battalion will hold its
annual reunion at West Alexander, Pa, Oh
next Friday, August 81. There will be a
general good time during the day aud a
regular old fashioned camp fire at night.
This organization was composed of soldiers
principally from Washington county, Pa,
though quite a number we're from Fsyette
and Green counties, Pa, and some from
West Virginia. The Ringgold Company after
which the battalion was named, was muster.
ed into the United States service at Grafton
West Virginia, June 29th, 1861, and was
therefore the first volunteer cavalry organ
izstign of the war. The battalion wa
formed in the fall of 1862, being composed
otthis company and five others, who en-.
tered the service at that time. These, with
the Washington Cavalry, were in the spring
of 1864 consolidated with FIVE other com
psnies from the eastern part OF the State
and were thereafter known as the Twenty
second Pennsylvania Cavalry. All old
West Virginia soldiers are cordially invited
to participate with this command at the
time specified, and enjoy with its members
a hearty reunion, and enjoying together
again the recollections of the many pleasant
hours spent together as soldiers.
The fare for the round trip will be IS
cents on any train during the day.
Msj.-Gen. B. +. Kelley is now in the city.
BE will attend the reunion and is very
anxious to see as many West Virginia
soldiers present as can attend.

4 BAD B~RIDaEPORTER.
DiabeIlcaI Plot to Blow Up Two
Dwelling Houses.
A Miner Puts a Keg Of Powder Under the
Residences of Agent Sanburn and
Bank Boss Wilson.

Bridgeport narrowly escaped being the
scene of q sensation Saturday evening. A
short time ago the officials Of the Wheeling
Creek Coal Company took occasion to dis
charge one oftheir miners, q Bohemian with
an uppronouncesble name. The man wa
very indignant at his dismissal, and told his
friends that he would be even with some
body. Saturday, with the idea of carrying
out his threats, he procured two kegs Of
powder, and after dark he proceeded to the
residence Of Mr.. C. R. Ssnburn,
the agent of the company,
placing one Of the packages of
the explosive under the building. He
next paid a visit to Bank Boss William
Wilson and placed the other keg beneath
the house. This done, the Bohemian busted
himself with arranging his fuse, and in a
short time there would have been an up
heaval which would have discounted some
of the dynamite stories We read about. For
tunstely, however, some passers-by had their
suspicious aroused, an investigation was
made and the plot discovered. Messrs.
Sanborn and Wilson we're both away from
home at the time, hence the small chance
the miner ran Of discovery.

THE MISSTRELS.

A Big House, a Good Show and Loads OF
Fun.
The amusement season was opened al
the Opera House last evening BY McNish
Johnson & Slavin's Minstrels. Wheeling
hes always been considered a good minstrel
owr and she certainly upheld her reputa.
ion last evening in that respect. At al
early hour q large number of people of a.
sizes and several colors, crowded around
the box Office waiting for the doors to open,
and when the curtain went up on the first
part of the entertainment, a sea OF faces
gszed at the stage and its handsome setting
The house during the closed season has
teen handsomely rejuvensted, the walls be-
ing beautifully pspered and the ceiling
prettily frescoed. Many other repairs and
improvements have also been made under
the supervision of Mr.. Richardson, the eff
Gent stage carpenter, and last night the in
terror Of the building presented a bright and
CHEEKY appearance, in keeping with the
spirits of the auditors. Every seat in the
house was occupied and standing roo was
at q premium in the back and side aisles,
among the spectators being many of Wheel
ing's most cultured theatre-goers.
Promptly at 8 o'clock the curtain rose,
disclosing q pyramid of minstrel stars, the
tull company with several exceptions ap
pearing. The company is a first class one
and introduced MANY new features in min
strel business, the finest being the represen-
tstions of ancient and modern statuary, in
,..l,Aol h. Maaar. William Mpl1nNn md
Charles W. Mitchell This is the first time
such a refined and enjoyable performance
of like kind has been introduced on q
Wheeling stage, and it received just and
hearty applause. The oleo was especially
fine and the music good. Of course Frank
McNish in his Silence and Fun brought
down the house and was repeatedly recalled.
Bob Slsvin is awfully funny, and when he
came out the auditors were kept in a roar
of laughter throughout his performance
and insisted upon him reappearing FIVE OF
six times to make them laugh.
The entertainment closed with
a political satire entitled "Cleveland's Re.
ception at Widow Mahone's," with the in,
imItable William II. Rice in the role o.
Esmeralda, in which character he kept
the spectators in a good humor during
its presentation. All the other perform
ances were good, especially the juggling Of
Nelsoni, who is superior in his line to any
one ever appearing in Wheeling. Billy
McAllister in his original song Don
Whisper So Loud made many local an
general bits that caused yells of lsughtsr
and applause.
This is the first season for the company
and they have scored a success in Wheel
ing on the start of, and should they return
no doubt q hearty reception would be ten.
dered them. The company plays in Steu
b~enville tonight.

Had the train been running at the maxi,

before the locomotive could be extricstec
