Willis was yesterday arraigned before Inc
Court of Common Pleas at Pomeroy,

the least interested person in the room.
A. w. Worries and Judge p. b. STAN

defend Willis, and they opened their guns
by moving to quash the indictment. The
motion has not been decided, but Prose,

The able attorneys will, however, throw
another rail in the wheel to-day, should
the motion fail, as they are determined to
continue the case until either the witnesses
are dead or too far removed to be sum
moned. Should neither motion prevail,
the case will be set for trial about June
18th. Willis denies all the charges but

A Missing Man pI.coysred.

Several months ago an old man named
Album, living in the Eighth ward, wan
dered away from home and could not be
found, although a diligent search was
made for him. 1t was generally supposed
that he had either fallen into the river OF
drowned himself, and it seems this suppo-
sition was correct. Yesterday his son in.
law, VIM. Frum, was down at Powhatan,
and hearing thst floater had been caught
in the river there some time since, he made
inquiries, the result being that he is as.
suIed that the body was that of Album,
which is buried In cemetery at Pow

From all appearances there IS going to
be an unprecedented rush at the Opera

formanees BY Minnie Palmer Friday and
Saturday evenings and Saturday afternoon.
No engagement, probably, in the dramatic
annals of Wheeling, certainly none in re-
cent years, has created so much interest
as this one. Those who wish to be sure
Of securing good seats can only do so by
being on hand when tha sale opens at s
o'clock on Wednesday morning. Persons
living out of town can order by mail, ad-
dressing the manager Of Miss Palmer, care
of the Opera House, and the best seats to
be had will be reserved for them after the
immediate rush is over. OF course all
such orders enclose the money, 81 for each
seat ordered.

was taken up and read. Members of the
Board then made enquiries of the Chief
concerning the men recommended, the
names of the candidates having heretofore
appeared in this paper, and there was some
lively discussion over them. Dnring this
discussion Mr.. Travis stated that Chief
Smith had come to him and asked if he
(Trayis) had any candidates he would like
In see on the force, and also that several
prominent Democrats had signed recon-
mendation for an equally prominent
Republican who desired to &c
on the forcs. This statement led
to another warm discussion, and then the
matter was informally laid aside, and the
Board took up q petition from the officers
asking for an increase in their salaries
from six.y-fve to seventy-fve dollars per
month. The recent increase for the fire.
men was referred to in this connection, and
in the discussion which ensued, the point
was made by members of the Board that
inasmuch as Council had seen fit to in
crease the salaries of fremen sgainst the
recommendation of the Board, they could
hardly refuse to grant the increase asked
for by the police. The matter was then
referred to Council. with the recommends.
ton that the salaries be seventy. five dol
lars per month.
Then the old matter of the additional
officers again came up, the President de-
string that something be done with the
matter. In reply to this Mr.. Hoffman
said that he hoped the Board would do
nothing at this time, in the face Of the &C
ton taken at the meeting the other
night" He didn't want it to appear that
the Board had been forced into anything.
Originally in favor of the increase, he was
now in favor of letting the matter lie upon
the table.
And there it remains.
After the consideration of some othel
matters relating to the fire department.
which are referred elsewhere, the Board
