The arrival in town OF Col. Leonard
Forsyth, an old timo citizen Of this place
has been noted before. His old friends
and acquaintance have been highly
pleased over meeting him again. The
Colonel halls now from Gillespie county
Texas; he Is q son Of the late James H,
Forsyth, and was for yCarg the general
agent OF the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad at
St. Louis. The Colonel, although well up in
years, is an active and vigorous man,
and most entertaining and intelligent
Conversationalist. His memory Of old
days, names and associations in Wheeling
Is something unusual, He Is glad to see
the old town rejoicing in an inciplent
boom once more. He, however, prefers
his ranch in Texas 10 any other part OF
the country, and says he has lost all taste
for artificial lie OF every kind; preferring
to dwell amidst tlocks and herds and keep
as close to nature as possible.

lions and the Angry Feeling DesPsns.
Everybody Comedies AIr. Roberts0n's
Right to Place ON the Ticket,

The Democratic Convention and its
peculiar result were still the principal
topics of conversation about town yester.
day. Indeed, the talk OF Tuesday was
tame compared to that Of yesterday. The
friends OF Gleason and Gleason himself
lelt that he could net-henorably remain
on the ticket il Robertson's rlghiful place
were allowed to be retained by another.
Mr., Robertson felt that he had been
wronged, and while he personally did not
seem to care much, his friends refused to
allow him to tamely submit to the inius'
tiGe.
Riley said at one time that he would
gracefully surrender his doubtful place on
the ticket II convinced that he was not
fairly the nominee OF the convention,
Later he called on Capt, Kenney and
Messrs. Kugsn and ZoeCkler, the dele.
gates who represented Washington dis
trict In Mondays convention, and asked
them severally how they voted, Later he
announced that the vote as cast by these
men nominated him, A friend oil Mr.,
Robertson's took Mr.. Rilsy's own figures
and showed him that even with them he
fell 81 votes below Mr.. Robertson. MIR,
Riley tried to figure out OF the dilemma,
and falling, declined to listen to any fur,

MIR. Woods and Mr.. Garden have not

tanned. Mr.. Woods has been deyOting
himself to business, and Mr., Gar
den Is staying closely at his home
in the country. Their friends do not seem
to feel much Interested In the situation.
Mr.. Copp, who was secretary Of the con.
vention, has been blamed for making an
error in his record OF the ballot. In jus.
tice to him, the true story Of the incident
ought to be told, Mr., Oopp's figures nom.
mated Mr.. Robertson, County Assessor
Phillips was figuring on the result in.
dependently, and he made the totals dti-
ferent. After vain effort to discover the
discrepancy, Chairman Jepson cut the
Gordian knot by simply altering the Sec.
retary'a figures to accord with Mr.. Phillips.
The funny part OF the whole thing is
that II instead OF confusing the convention
and preventing the correction Of tho vote,
Mr.. Pendleton had demanded another
ballot, it would have been ordered, and
nobody expresses much doubt that Mr.,
Riley would have been chosen.

AN ANCIENT STEAMER


That Had u Brick ChImnsy-Ca
Bachelor Giyes some Facts About It.
In connection with the reunion Of the
Wells family in Brooke county, on Tues
day OF this week, the following from the
New York Marine Journal, written by
Captain @. W. Bachelor, the well known
Pittaburgher, is OF special interest, The
steamer he writes Of was named after the
father OF those who held the reunion:
In my efforts to obtain reliable inior,
nation in reference to old.tims steam
boats have experienced much difficulty,
and spent some money paying persons to
hunt over old records In search Of inior-
ton, and have reason to think that what
| have from time to time given 10 the
newspapers is as near correct aa 1t Is pos
sible to get 1t. In the list Of boats Of the
first period l find the steamer BazAleel
Wells, one OF the curiostie6 OF that age,
inasmuGh as she made her debut on the
Ohio river with a brick chimney. | had
often heard my father speak OF seeing this
boat. She was built at Steubenville, o.,
in 1919, and LETT there with brick Chim'
ney, My father, who lived in Steuben-
vile at the time, said she ran across the
river, struck the bank, and her chimney
fell down. From James Gallagher Esq,
now living inSseubsnville, and who is ITO
the manor boIn, and avery reliable gentle
man, learn that the Bazaleel Wells was
built there, and he remembers her well
He says her first commander was Samuel
Chapman, and the owners were Samuel
Chapman, Adam Madsrwell and Bazaleel
Wells. Mr.. Gallagher says she left Steu'
benVllle for Pittsburgh with the brick
chimney, and that Ambrose Shaw, the
man that built the chimney, went with the
boat to "top out" the chimney before she
arrived at Pittsburgh. Her cylinder wa
taken from a flour mill at Steubenville
and the boilers made at Pittsburgh. AL
accounts agree as to the brick chimney
but whether Mr.. Shaw went with the
boat to top out" the chimney before she
arrived at Pittsburgh, or whether he wen
along to repair the damage done by strik
ing the bank, as related by my father, ia {
question that will probably never b.
answered, When the boat arrived u
Pittsburgh the brick was removed and al
iron chimney put In It's place. She ther
went to Louisville and was sold. No Of
fetal record OF the boat can be found, al
there was none. All boats at that time, /

All the talk that has been INDUCED in
