Why The Extra School Fund.

Why The Extra School Fund.
Since our last publication au-
nouncing the levy of taxes for the
ensuing year we have been asked
by more than one why the school
tax was $500 greater than last year?
Well, it is just this: The primary
room of the first ward has over
eighty scholars, or twenty-five or
more than it could seat properly,
while others are eager to come in,
and besides more than one teacher
could attend TO and do justice to
herself and the scholars. With this
condition Of affairs something had
TO be done, but money was the inn
portant necessity, hence the levy.
1t is now understood that the board
has leased the Parish school build
ing, at the head of High street, and
will fit it up at once as a primary
department, and of course an ad-
ditional teacher must be secured
This is regarded as reasonable
adjusting of the difficulty.

MANY has been the day since the
miners of this place have exhibited
such bright countenances and ex-
pressed such hopeful remarks as
they do at present. Especially is
this 80 with certain ones. 1t all
grows out of the handsome find
of Messrs. Pete Adams and John
Opie, partners, few days ago near
the surface on the mining hill in
the north part of this city, above
Blake McSherry's residenoe--a
large, good paying sheet of drybone
ore. The same is workable in open
cut style, whereby large quantities
are easily taken out, and the income
for days labor sum sufficient to
keep ten wolves from the door. This
has served to enthuse many others
who seem to have born liking for
mining. They claim that the hills
hereabouts are full of this grade of
ore, which, by the was is not any
thing like frst-class grade, yet if it
can be found in such quantities and
as accessible az that here referred
to, there are fortunes in it for
the many new prospectors, some of
whom are already reporting very
hattering finds. The TRIBUNE trusts
the most sanguine hopes may be
realized. There is no class more
worthy of success than the indus
trious, persevering miners.

The mystery surrounding the killing o
Officer Glenn has not yet been cleared up
There are several different theories az tc
the guilty persona and their motives, buI
discussion OF theories or clues Ia uaeleas al
best and may do harm. One thing mill
tates against the solution Of the mystery,
and that Is that as soon as q new theory
Ia advanced or new clue discovered, Il
is public property.
Yesterday morning two men, one oil
whom was thought BY some people to be
John Mooney, were arrested at the East
Wheeling brick yards by Officers Bell,
West, Watson and Heslop. They turned
out to be Louis Nolte and Charles Young,
and were locked up. Nolte bears faint
general resemblance 10 Mooney.
Yesterday morning two men came to
the Sergeant Of Moundsville and told him
that there were two men and q woman
staying in coal bank below town whose
actions were Suspicious, and that they had
left there last Saturday night and come to
Wheeling, remaining here over Sunday
and returning Monday morning. They
were thought to answer the description Of
Glenn's murderers. Sergeant Echols and
John Moffat arrested them, and they will
have preliminary hearing at o'clock
this afternoon.
One Of the men Is said to be named
Kelley. One Is large man and the other
smaller. They are respectfully dressed,
but tough characters.
Doubtless some OF the officers here will
60 down and see If they can identify the
men.
