POINT
RAISED BY A MEMBER 0PTHB CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE, LAST EVENING.
he and Several Other Members Urge That a Mass
Meeting to Select Delegates to the Boom
Convention Should DO Held.

At the meeting of the Chamber of Com.
merce last evening, Mr.. T. s. Riley made 9
motion to the effect that the Chamber is
sue a call for a mass meeting Of the citirant
of the county, to be held at the Court
House, Saturday afternoon, to select dele
gates from the various districts in the
county to the Business Mems Convention
on the 29th inst.
Col. White thought such action would
be taking the matter out of the hands Of
the Chamber of Commerce TO have It rep
sented in the Convention only by delegates;
and quite a discussion followed. Mr.. fancy
moved to amend Mr.. Riley's motion
so that all the members OF the Chamber of
Commerce be appointed delegates to the
convention, which was accepted by Mr..
Riley, who said that such q meeting as he
suggested should be held in order TO bring
in delegates representing all the interests
of the county. While he did not want to
conflict with the position of the Chamber
in the matter still he thought that the
citizens Of Ohio county should take the
same action that the other counties have
done. Mr.. W. A. Wilson, MI. j. d.
Ewing, Mr.. Jas. b. Tapey and President
Logan all took the view hat the mass
meeting to select delegates should
be held, but that the Chamber
Of Commerce. as a body, of course, had no
voice in the calling of such a meeting; that
its mission has been to put the movement
to hold a convention on foot, and to carry
that object to a successful termination.
After further discussion, the matter was
finally referred to the Committee of Ar
r~angement5.
1t was suggested by one of the members
Of the Chamber, last night, that Ohio
county should certainly hold a mass meet.
ing and select delegates to the convention,
as all the other counties who have respond
ed to the call have done, and the proper
thing to do, will be for the President Of
the Second Branch of Council, in the abb
sence Of Mayor Seabright, and President
Cruise OF the County Commissioners, to call
such q meeting within the next day or 30,
as the time is short. III this connection,
the following clause, taken from the cir
culars sent out to the various counties may
be pertinent:
ut is respectfully suggested that public
meetings be held in the cities and towns of
the Stateto choose delegates to the conven-
ton in addition TO those who may come
voluntarily. 1t is expected that in every
community will be enough public spirited
men to take In hand this branch Of the mat
ter and work it up. The fact that
these meetings are being held will be
known throughout the country and will
materially aid the movement"

Mr.. IRWIN EXPLAINS.
Mr.. Irwin said the inst line laid down by
his company was laid down without know
ing what line might be desired by any
other company. Later it had been ascer-
tanned the Wheeling & Harrisburg hsd
laid down o line, and this fact suggested 3
modification Of the original line, and a re-
modelling Of the ordinance. He says the
crossing complained Of by the Wheeling 4
Harrisburg people was inevitable through
the location of the line. He had listened
to Mr.. Leidenthal's remarks about the

north side of the creek which would be
very expensive. He would be glad to
have Mr.. Leidenthal show him how the
crossing could be avoided. A grade cross.
ing was q very Objectionable thing, but
the B. & O. would have to be one of the
parties 10 it, and wonld have to put up
with il the same a. the Wheeling & Har-
rishurg. The b. & D. had no idea of an
.tagonizipg the Wheeling & Harris
burg road; it simply sought to
arrange matters amicably. In reply to q
question by Mr.. Clements, Dir. Irwin said
if the B. & o road wal thrown outside of
the Wheeling and Harrisburg road, the B.
& o. would be shut out from the business
of the Whitaker mill. Mr.. Hubbard
wanted to know if o switch could be
thrown across the Wheeling ard Harris
burg tracks to the mill. Mr.. Irwin said
that could be done, and admitted that
such q switch would not be nearly SO OBJ
jectionable as the full crossing contem-
plated in the ordinance.
