At a special meeting Of the officers
and directors OF the r. ]. Baggs & Sons
Lumber Company, held at their office in
Bridgeport, O., at 10 o'clock a. ~, De-
cember IL, 1888, the following resolu-
tons were unanimously adopted, to
wit:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased Almighty
God to remove from among us our be-
loved co-}aborer, the vice president and
manager OF the company, ]. Thompson
Bags; therefore,
RSsotrtd, That TO this dispensation Of
an all-wise Father, we bow with humble
submission, knowing that He doeth all
things well.
Resolved, That in the death Of j.
Thompson Baggs, this company has sus-
timed very serious loss, his associates
q genial warm.hearted friend and Coun-
sellor, the community a valued citizen,
an honest man, the church Of his choice,
a Jealous worker in the Masters cause,
his family q loving husband and father,
bosom companion.
Resolved, That to the bereaved and
heart stricken family OF our deceased
friend and brother, we have none Of this
worlds consolation to offer, but recon-
mend them to Thompson's God, who
has promised to be a Husband to the
widow, and a Father to the fatherless.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
published in two Of the Wheeling city
papers, and copy OF them engrossed,
and presented to the family OF the de.
ceased by our secretary.

1t seems to be taken for granted, says
the St. Clairsville ChrOuicle, that such
eases can be made against Postmasters
Patterson, OF Martins Ferry, and Hinge
", OF Barnesville, as will justify their
removal on the incoming Of the Harrison
administration. The most serious charge
against the former is that lie folded the
Tar AdyOcdte IA partisan publication
issued by the Democratic committee, and
not entitled to circulate through the
mails ut pound rates. into newspapers to
be delivered to Republicans. If this can
be established Mr.. Patterson will no
doubt be summarily removed. Mr..
Hingely owed his appointment to his
brother.in-law, Sixth Auditor McCon-
vile. The Democrats Of GAINESVILLE
and Congressman Warner wanted ex-
Treasurer Eaton appointed, consequent
ly Mr.. Hingely's administration has not
been popular one. AT Martins Ferry,
Samuel +. Dean and Theodore Snod-
grass are leading candidates. Mr.. Dean
was postmaster several years, and was a
capable and popular one. At Barnes
vile, ex-PostmaSter Piper and Howard
Anderson are the most active candi-
dates. Mr.. Piper, likewise, has good
record rs postmaster. He resigned the
Office two years ago last summer to
make the race for Clerk.

placed over that never-failing source Of
expense, discussion and trouble gener'
ally, the crematory furnace, to replace
the iron structure that has been so ef'
fectually wrecked by the winds. At the
last meeting of Council, resolution Of
fered by the committee was adopted, au.
thorizing it to have structure erected
in accordance with accompanying plans
ut cost not to exceed $400. The accom-.
panying plans referred to were prepared
by Architect Wells. Yesterday Architect
Geisey prepared Il plan which he will
submit to the committee. His plan con.
templates somewhat larger building
than that proposed by Mr.. Wells,ground
measurement, and has a slanting: shed
roof instead OF a gable roof as in Mr..
Wells's plan. In Mr.. Geisey's plan there
is also a new arrangement for receiving
the garbage and ofial. The committee

AN INSPECTION TOUR
Over the Route Of the Wheeling
& Harrisburg Railroad.
TO VIEW THE NEW CHANGES
Asked by tho company-The Com
mittec Fails to Secure a Quorum,
But Its Chairman and In
tcrestcd Gentlemen Go.

The Council Committee on Railroads,
which chairman Terrell had called TO
meet at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon to
makean inspection trip over the propcs-
ed terminal route of the Wheeling &
Harrisburg road, failed to materialize to
anyg reat extent either yesterday after
noon or last evening, and consequently
nothing definite was done. Mr.. Terrell
was on hand promptly, as usual, and
was not all pleased that the balance OF
his committee preferred to attend
to their private business affairs in
stead of tramping along the south
bank OF the creek in the cold. Word
was received from the Baltimore & Ohio
people that their officials could not
reach here in time to accompany the
committee to the points in question
in their ordinance, so that matter was
dropped for the time being. About2:30
o'clock Mr.. Terrell, who had been joined
BY Judge X. II. Cochran and one OF his
hengineers from the Wheeling l. Harris
burg, and Councilman Buchanan, who,
although not member ofthe committee,
wanted to view the situation for himself,
decided TO make move and they started
out. Later they were joined by Capt.
tC. ]. Rawling and Councilman Fred
Happy. The route was walked over in
part and the balance OF the way convey
ances were provided; ii was discussed in
formally, but, OF course, no definite ac'
ton could be had.
At the point on the Peninsula road
between the cemetery gate ana the
bridge, where the Wheeling & Harris
hurg desires to cross above grade, it is
the intention to have said crossing
twelve feet above grade. There was an
error in the statement in yesterdays
issue that there was no specification as
to the height of this over-grLde. Judge
Cochran informed the gentlemen with
him that this was the legal height under
the Ohio law for over-grade crossings
this in answer to objections by Messrs
Terrell and Buchanan that it was not
in their opinion, high enough.
1t is understood that the Reymann
Brewing Company is not altogether
pleased with the proposed change in the
route near its works, claiming that by
the change it will lose valuable and
needed ground.
