That 1t is not only in such material pur'
suits as nail and glass and pottery making,
beer brewing and cigar manufacturing,
that Wheeling has taken an advanced po'
sition, is at last demonstrated to the world
at large; it has been known to dIsCriml'
mating citizens Of the Nail City for q good
while, The assertion has frequently been
made by Wheeling men to strangers that
Wheeling artists could produce as good
photographs III every respect as the best
made by Mora or any OF the photographers
whose work has established for them In.
ternational regulations; but such an
assertion was generally received with
an inCredulous smile. Such q
claim has now, however, received the en-.
dorsement OF the highest authority. At
the international photographic COnven.
ton held at st. Louis last week, Mr.. j, A,
Parsons, the well.known photographer Of
this city, was ono Of the two thousand odd
exhibitors, and one Of the four gold
medals awarded by the association was
given Mr.. Parsons. The exhibitors were
from all over the globe, and included all
the largo cities. Mr., Parsons exhibit was
OF large portrait work, and in this depart.
meme he won the medal. The entire ex.
hibit covered over $1,000 feet Of wall
space. Mr.. Parsons Is Justly elated at his
success, and he hasa right to be proud.

1t is said that early Tuesday morning
Alexander johnson was standing on Mar.
ket ptreet talking to q gentleman when
Mr.. Thatcher passed. ~ wonder where
Mr.. Thatcher is going" remarked the
gentleman. Alex. replied, "IIe is going
TO arrest Gene johnson, l suppose; II he
don't DO careful he will get a hole put
through him, too" This is probably un-
true, us the Iumor was in circulation be-
fore the Coroner's verdict was reached, but
no evidence was produced to substan-
tiate It.
Johnson's family say that when Ser
geant Thatcher went to Genes house
early Tuesday morning he broke the door
open and "Gene" was in the dining room,
which is on the second floor. When tho
officer entered Johnson stepped through
the widow upon the roof Of the pOrtlCo
and 10y down close TO the side Of the
house until tho Sergeant left, when he
stepped in again. 1t Is about twenty
inches from the roof to the window sill.
Prosecuting Attorney b. +, Meighan
will bO assisted in conducting the John.
sou case by j. a. Ewing, and Capt. Dov-
erer, OF this city, and Hon. Hans Girls
well, Of MOundsvllle, will have charge Of
the defense. 1t Is said at Moundsville that
an effort will be made to have the trial
removed to Wheeling.
'Ehe Stoubenville GdSEtie says: John.
son, who murdered Rev. j. Z. Thatcher ut
Moundsville Tuesday evening by shooting
him through the heart, and who escaped
alter the crime was committed formerly
resided in Steubenville, and was employed
Ms coal miner in different CollierieB here.
Rev. Mr.. Thatcher, the murdered man, is
also well known in this city, aud will be

on tent meetings in Cemetery hollow FIVE
or six years ago with considerable sue.
cess. Thatcher was formerly a Methodist
local preacher, but afterwards became
member Of the Evangelical church and
held meetings in different places. Flo
came to Steubenville, where he remained
several months laboring in the cause Of
Christianity.
