The Republicans are not spending all

They are hus.lipg right and left to make

when he said, yesterday: "We propose to
count Mr.. Atkinson in; but if we don't,
we'll have the House of representatives.
anyhow, and Psndleton will never get bis
seat"
This explains their little plot to food
the country with statements to the effect
that the Republicans really carried the
State, but were cheated out Of the fruits of
their victory, their policy being to work
mp a public sentiment favorable to their
side.
They are laying the foundations upon

RAILROAD MATTERS.
A Request From the Wheeling and Ia
risburg COMPANY Granted.

A Request From the Wheeling and Har'
risburg Company Granted.
1t will be- remembered that at tbs LAT
meeting Of Council an ordiuance was passed
authorizing the Wheeling and Harrisburg
Railroad Company to connect the tracks Of
the Wheeling and Elm Grove Railroad
Company, with the tracks Of the b. & o.
Company at the east end OF Si1te smith
street. This application was made and per.
mission grated before the Railroad Com
pany had ascertained whether the con-
nection was practicable or not. Since
then the surveyors had declared the
connection can not be made, and au-
other method Of getting around the diff
Guilty had to be sought. II was found
that q connection bstW csn the two roads
could be made at the int ,rsectIon Of Chap.
line and Sixteenth sire ets, and last even.
ing an ordinance, detigoed 10 tupplsnt the
one adopted last month, was introduced
in the First Branch Of Council, and there
read q first time. When the reading had
been concluded Mr.. Handlsn objected.
Judge Cochran obtained permission 10 ad.
dress the body, and made q statement, the
gist of which was about az follows:
"The Wheeling and Harrisburg Com.
pauy is very destous Of getting TO work
at its tunnel under Mount Wood cemetery
during the present fall, in order that work
may be pusbed therein during the WHIT
months. To do this, il is absolutely
necessary that the bridge scross the creek,
from the portal of the proposed tunnel 10
the Peninsula, be completed at once. The
bridge is necessary, because all earth,
rock, &C., brought from the tunnel mus,
20 ont of the eastern eHd onto the Prniu.
sula, there being no dumping ground either
in Jcn9than's Tavine or along the river
front of the upper end Of the city. A Io,d.
bed is now being graded upon the Pen,
insula from the bridge site, but work
upon the bridge sbutments can 20. be
prosecuted, because Of the ~ippossibiHty Of
hauling stone over the roads ss they exist
at this season Of the year. With Q con,
nection between the B. 60. and the ". &
E. G. lines, cars OF sa1e-200 CT which
would bs reeded-could be run onto
the Elm Grove tracks. hauled around t.
the bridge site, and dumped Of. Tn.
stone on hsnd, the work upon the bridge
would be pushed ss rspidly as men and
money could do the work, snd Uoupd
could be broken at tie east end Of thc
!, 100 foot tunnel. A failure Of Council Ia
grant the permission asked might throw
the work back for q year"
Notwithstanding all this and more, Mr.
Handlan persisted IN his objection, and tn,
paper had TO be withdrawn. 1t was taksr
over to the secoEd Branch, reintroduced
and promptly pa.s-d, and then being re.
turned to the FRS. Branch, Mr. Handlan'l
objection wa poTerlsss, and the ordinanc,
went through.

CALDwktLiL's RUN.

A Proposition for It's improvement,
Backed by a Solid Petition.
In the Second Branch Mr.. Cruise offered
the following:
"Resolrsd, That the committee drafting
the loan ordinance to be submitted to the
voters at the next charter election, be and
they are hereby instructed 10 include in
said ordinance the sum of $25, 900, said
amount to be used for the purpose OF
Strengthening and improving Caldwells
run, provided, however, that the owners
of tie adjacent property donate ff-
teen feet in addition 10 the ground
which has already been granted on the
original grant or plant"
Accompanying this was the following
petition:
I'VE, the citizens OF the city Of Wheel
irg, respectfully represent that the present
appears to be an Oppertune time TO make
provision for the permanent improvement
of Caldwells ron. We would also repre-
sent that had the run been placed on
Twenty. ninth street, az contemplated by
the plat in Csldwell's addition 10 the city
of Wheeling, the dreadful loss OF life and
property, resulting from the late food,
would not have occurred. II is not posi-
BILE that the run can remain in its present
condition much longer. We therefore
ask that the proposed loan be increased by
the addition CT SOS, 600 for the improve
ment of Caldwells run."
This petition was signed by Simpson &
Hoge, Ire Hobbs Glass Company, The
Riverside Iron Company, Schmulbsch
Brewing Company, L. & Delsplaiue, Son
& Co., Bloch Bros, Wheeling Pottery,
Spaulding Wallace, Standard Axle Com
pany, Whitaker Iron Company, La Belle
iron Company, Joseph Speidel, Bodley
BFol, Anton Reynan, Central Glass Com
pany and about eight hundred others, rep
res enting about $12, 0O0, 900. The petition
and accompanying resolution created q long
debate, during which 1t was stated that
the property owners along the run had
offered to donate the fifteen fset mentioned
in the resolution, AZ being in the nature Of
q compromise out Of the existing and
tending litigation DOW going on between
tbs city and the Caldwell heirs, 10 the
Circuit Court, and tha. the settlement thus
arrived at would probably save the
city many thousands Of dollars. II YVES
also stated that an estimate had been pre-
pared, showing that the cost of straighten-
ing of the run, the erection Of retaining
walls and the paving Of the bottom Of the
run would be within the S25, 900 mentioned.
The resolution YVES adopted and the pa
psr and accompanying petition referred.
