THE wOMAN's EXCHANGE.
The second Monthly Report Shows a De
cided Increase I'm the Business.

The second Monthly Report Shows a De-
cided Increase I'm the Business.
The second monthly meeting of The
Woman's Industrial Exchange was held
Yesterday afternoon. The report OF the
Secretary is quite encouraging. From 1t
we learn that during the two months the
Exchange has been established six hun
dred and seventy-seven articles have been
entered for sale. Four hundred and NIFTY
five of them have been sold. Four hum
bred and two dollars and fourteen cents
have been paid TO the consigners.
The large majority of consigners are per-
sons who are obliged to depend on them
selves. To some the money has been paid
for pies, bread and cakes; to Others 1t has
been for plain sewing and the most elabor-
ate needle work; yet Others have brought
forth beautiful things in the way OF paint
ing on china and delicate fabrics of vari-
Gus kinds. The very few, who did not
need to do the work, have brought III
beautiful things as encouragement to
Others, and have, by their sale, added
to their money for charitable purposes.
The Secretary, who alone knows the
eonsignerS, gives her verdict that is the
needy who are being aided by the tx
change. 1t is hoped the enterprise may
succeed TO such an extent that it may reach
out aud reach those among the needy who
are destitute, mainly because Of their ig-
norance of anything that would make
them self-supporting.
The lunch room is literally ~patronized.

GOOD CHURCH o
Sundays Services at the First Engii
Evangelical Lutheran Church.

SUNDAYS Services at the First English
Evangelical Lutheran Church.
Last Sunday was one of the most precious
days ever witnessed by the English Luth-
eran Church ofthis city. The altar and
pulpit were appropriately decorated with
evergreen and flowers, the wreathing ex-
tending in festoons on either side Of the
church. The church was packed with
deeply interested people, the aisles beng
filed with chairs. The choir rendered In
admirable manner a number of volun-
taries, and the congregation Joined
heartily in singing the chants
and Christmas hymns. A number of chill
dren were baptized and the Sacrament OF
the Lords Supper was administered. 1t
was the largest Communion ever cele-
brated in the history OF the church; and
more persons were received u church
fellowship than were received at any one
time before-there being twenty-five, and
one was received a few Sundays ago,
making che total addition since the last
Communion, t~wenty-six.
In the afternoon the Sunday school held
an interesting Christmas song service, and
was addressed by Rev. DIR. Bond, of Ra-
venswood, w. Va. Anumber of the teach
ers were remembered by their respective
classes in costly and valuable gifts, as a
token of esteem.
At the evening service Rev. Chas. A.
Britt, of Gettysburg, Pa, preached an ad-
mirable sermon, after which the celebra-
ton of the Lords supper was concluded.
The pastor, Rev. E. H. Dornblaser, has
many reasons to be encouraged in the
growth and development of this church.

WORK OF EXPERTS.
A SAFE CRACKED IN 4 VERY ARTISTIC
MANNER,
And About Five Hundred Dollars Taksn-Ths job
Done About Three O'Clock
Yesterday Morning.

Yesterday mornings REGISTER called
attention to the TACT that a gang ofburglars
were laying their plans for the robbing Of
business houses, and suggested to mer-
chants the a~dvisability of leaving rs little
cash as possible in their safes over night.
While that warning was being penned a
gang of crooks were at work on the safe Of
Geo. K. McMechen & Sons grocery, No.
1906 Market street, and about the time the
first paper containing the item came from
the press the safe was shattered by a heavy
explosion of gunpowder and the burglars
were half a thousand dollars ahead for
their two hours or so of patient toll.
The money taken was the proceeds of
sales made during last Friday afternoon
after barking hours, and in the evening,
and as the store was open until nearly one
o'clock Saturday morning, between $3.50
and $500 was taken in. 1t is not the Gus
tom of the firm to keep cash
in the safe, beyond q few dollars
in change, but Saturday morning,
when the store was closed, the money was
dumped into the cash drawer in the safe
and locked up, every one being too tired to
even count it carefully. No business was
transacted Saturday, and the money was
allowed TO remain in the safe, it being the
intention to deposit it in bank Monday
morning. Sunday evening, about 9 O'Clock,
Mr.. George X. McMechen wasin the store,
and thought of taking the money away,
even going so far a to light a match that
he might see to work the combination bet
ter, but at the last moment he concluded
that the money was safe, and went home
without disturbing it.
Some time later in the night, presuma-
bly about midnight, the burglars appeared
upon the scene, with the firm intention Of
doing what Mr.. McMechen thought was
unnecessary, and they carried out their
plan in q most workmanlike manner. The
following diagram will give our readers an
idea of the LAY of the land' in the rear
end Of the store room:

iii COST OF GAS.
The Surprising Figuring Done BY a Cincin-
natl Expert.

The Surprising Figuring Done BY a Cincin-
natl Expert.
For some time past there has been a
pressure brought to bear on the Cincin-
natl Gas Light and Coke Company to
secure a reduction in the price Of gas, and
one Councilman referred to Wheeling as a
city where gas was made at an actual cost
of 80 cents per 1000 cubic feet. This
President A. Hickenlooper, of the Gas
Company, denounced as ridiculous" and
to substSntiate his claim sent a special
messenger to this city for figures showing
the cost of manufacturing gas here in
Wheeling, This messenger compiled
a table which gave the cost OF
coal, labor at works, purifying materi-
ais, water, hauling and repairs at $5l,365
for the year 1885, the expenses OF service
labor, main gang, complaint and registry,
repairs of meters and miscellaneous eX-
penses at SIS, 060, and salaries at $3.50,
making a total cost to manufacture of
sos Z To this total he adds $4,000 tor
) per cent interest on the cost of the plant
and So, 900 for taxes, and arrives at a to-
tai, after deducting $40, $50 for 52s street
lamps at $50 per annum each, of SlO7,Sl5.
He found that SO, LOG. 800 cubic feet of gas
were made in 1885, and thus figures out an
actual cost of $1.29 per 1000 feet for
Wheeling, which is about q dollar too
high. The trouble is that Mr.. Hicken-
looper's man neglected to obtain the credit
arising from the sale Of coke, tar, amonia-
cal liquor and other items, while his items
of taxes and interest have nothing to
do with our case, however torcibly they
may apply to a Cincinnati corporation.

LIFE IN NORTH WHEELING.
What q Police Court Case Disclosed, Yes
terday Morning.

What a Police Court Case Disclosed, Yes
terday Morning.
The evidence in the cases against Lucy
Colts and Sadie Good, charged with keep
ing and lettering in a house Of ill-fame,
before His Honor, yesterday morning, re-
vealed a pretty state of things in the Good
family. John Good, the father of Sadie,
who swore out the warrant upon which
the house was raided. testified that the
house kept by the Colts woman was a very
disorderly OnG, men going there at all hours
of the night. His daughter had been en-
ticed into the house, and he had been I'M
able TO get her out. The Colts woman
had told him that if he did not let the girl
alone she would burn bis house. The
Cots woman made some very damaging
disclosures regarding the relations exist
ing between Good and his daughter, which
Good denied and the daughter said were
true. Another witness related some of
the scenes she had witnessed in the house,
and His Honor made il so and costs for
Colts and IS and costs for Sadie and the
two young men with her in the house
when the raid was made.

The Officer Upheld.

The case of James johnson, arraigned in
Police Court by Officer Duffy on a charge
of interference with an officer in the dis
charge of his duty, excited a good
deal of interest, inasmuch as it had
been freely asserted by the friends Of the
defendant that Duffy had dubbed John
son without cause, aud that his arrest was
IAN outrage" The evidence went TO show
that Johnson was an active member Of
the Dirty Dozen" gang, that he was
rather a tough case, and that he had per-
sisted in bothering the officer and menac-
ing him with a stone, despite repeated
warnings to keep away. Finally forbear-
ance ceased to be a virtue and the officer
knocked Johnson out with his club and
then arrested him. The Court assessed a
penalty of $40 and costs and sixty days IN
the workhouse in addition. An appeal
was taken.

~ VIC Lua" " IN btytopI'
SIR-An extremely exaggerated account,
printed in a certain paper, of the injury to
a little daughter of Mr.. John Bremer's
from the bite Off dog reported and published
as belonging to Casper Schrimpf, was
rather sensational, a. the injury wa very
slight and amounted to little more than a
scratch. The dog did not belong to Casper
Schrimpf, but TO the undersigned, and is a
young one, not vicious, as reported, never
having bitten anyone prior to the biting OF
the little daughter of Mr.. Bremen. A suit
was instituted against Casper Schrimpf be-
fore Justice Davis for 5000 damages claimed
by Bremen, but was suddenly dismissed by
the Justice for some cause not known to
Mr.. Schrimpf and dismissed at the cost OF
the plaintiff, Mr.. Bremen. | simply ask
you to publish the above in justice to my
father, with whom | reside and who has
been worried considerably over the publ,
cation as we'll as the suit.

Logan was called into the Office of his
place of business, where the employees of the
establishment with Hon. c. D. Hubbard
and several friends had assembled. As he
entered Mr.. Hubbard stepped forward and
in a neat and appropriate speech in behalf
of the employees, presented DR.. Logan a
handsome gOld-headed walking stick
as a token of their regard and esteem.
The recipient was greatly overcome by
surprise and emotion, but responded in his
usual happy way, and the occasion was a
very happy one to all. The head of the
cane bears the doctors initials, and is a
very pretty present.

A REPORT
Made by the Norwalk, o.. Councilmen
Lately in this City.

Messrs. T. S. Worster, J. W. Lee, J.. W.
Foster, X. Rundel, J. A. Williamson, c.
W. Miller and c. w. Finn, the commit.
tee of the Norwalk, Ohio, City Council
lately in this city to examine our brick
pavement, have made..a report to the Coun-
Gil in which they
Recommend that the new pavement to
be laid down on West street be of fire clay
brick, rather than brick block, rs being
equally serviceable for the uses required
by the travel and traffic of our city, and
at much less expense, both in the cost OF
materials and freight. Also, that cement
be used for a similar reason"
This would indicate an intention to lay
down the bricks and merely fill the inter-
stices with sand. The experiment will be
watched by our Board of Public Works
with interest.
