DURING THE recent session OF the nallon-
al republican committee in New York, the
Herald Of that city says, MIR. Riddebe!ger,
who, with others interested in the proceed
ines, was waiting in corridor adjoining the
committee room, exclaimed They are
trying to do some ID dirty work.
They are trying to make Quay chairman OF
both committees The candidates don't
want that, and their wiehes are generally
respected" The result looks verg much as
if the Senator, though on the outside OF the
room, had pretty correct idea OF what was
going on inside, as the committee did exact
ly what he said they were trying to Go. But
the Senator, nor any body else, except the
members of the committee, ever supposed
that they would carry their devitry to the
grotesqnely ridiculous extent to which they
produced it when the committee appointed
to select an executive committee--the COM
mittee that hsa the control of the funds
had the amusing assurance to choose tneu :
selves. The like was never known before.

REDISTRICTING THE CITY.
Tie Committee on Ordinances Chooses the
Enumerators.

Tie Committee on Ordinances Chooses the
Enumerators.
The Council Committee on Ordinances
held ar Interesting session at the Public
Building last evening. The members
present were Messrs. Dobbins CHAIR
mani, Ulrich, Tracy, McKown, vockler,
Gavin and Maxwell; Mr.. Wheat was
the only absentee. The special business
for which the committee was called was
to take some action looking to the carry
ing out Of the provisions Of q resolution
introduced into Council by Col. Cald-
well, and passed by both branches OF
that body, instructing the Committee on
Ordinances to have an enumeration OF
the city taken for the purpose Of learn
ing the exact population OF the several
wards, and then so changing the ward
boundaries rs to better equalize the
population OF the wards. This being
done q rCapportiOnmcnt OF the members
of Council would follow. The measure
is one that there has long been need OF
as the boundaries have notbecn changed
since the city was quite small atIuir
compared with what she is now.
The committee ut its meeting last
last night, after having had the resolu-
ton read, proceeded to elect the enumcr-
ators for the several wards as follows:
First, Harry Chew; Second, I. NJ. Jones;
Third, Harry Hauser; Fourth, Ralph
Whitehead; Fifth, William Rodgers;
Sixth, NJ. 4. Hartman; Seventh, j. D.
Maxwell; Eighth, August Koch, jr.
When the Fifth ward was reached Mr..
VOckler nominated Fred. Laue for the
position; he was defeated by vote OF
5 to2. For the Sixth ward enumeration
Mr. Gavin nominated John ii. Clark;
he was defeated by u vote OF 5 to 9.
Mr.. Gavin then said that he was OF
the opinion that there was no use oil Il
Democrat acting with that committee;
he and Mr.. Vockler hadsubmitted to the
Republican members choosing enumcr:.
ators for their respective wards and had
voted for them. When men were to be
chosen for the Fifth and Sixth wards he
thought the members from those wards
should be allowed theprivilege OF choos-
ing them, but as they were not, he
would like to be permitted to withdraw.
Chairman Dobbins said "All right, and
Mr.. Gavin picked up his hat and sailed
out.
Clerk EIson was ordered to notify the
enumeratoy of their election and to-
provide them with supplies and get
them to work at once.

.THE BOY FIREBUGSAGAIN.
Making Bad Use of Their Re-
Gently Acquired Liberty.
SIX VERY PRECIOUS YOUTHS
In Jail Accused of Stealing over
Half Ton of Iron from the
Top Mill Blast Furnacc-sev-
eral With Bad Records.

The recent release from the peniten-
tiary at Mouudsville Of the band of
precocious criminals known as the boy
fire-bugs, who several years ago set fire
to the North Wheeling glass works, and
to other valuable property, is fresh in the
minds of local newspaper readers. The
boys have been home but n few
weeks. Yesterday n few of them and
another boy or two got into serious
trouble again. George McCohen, Super
iutendent OF the Top Mill blast furnace,
swore out warrants before Squire Davis
for six boys on Il charge of stealing iron
from the company, aud Officers Desmond
and HesIop arrested George Gray, one Of
the fire bugs, Julius HOttire, who was
one OF the gang, but was not convicted
at the time OF the fires on account OF his
youth, James Heaston, Harry Hcadley
and Joe Rayner. All are boys in their
teens.
Hcadlcy was accused sometime ago Of
completely in several buIglaries, but left
before he could be arrested, and has moi
since been heard of until now. The
four boys first named were arrested early
in the dry, and the others Inter. An
other, n brother OF Hotfire's, is also
wanted.
There were about twelve hundred
pounds OF the stolen iron, and it was re,
covered last evening, having been sold
to Sam Lowry, south Of the creek, The
boys lloated It down the river in boat
Their preliminary examination was
fixed for three o'clock this afternoon,
and in default OF bail they were com
mittcd to jail until that time. 1t was
expected that the officers would get the
other Hottire by this morning.
