COMING SESSION,
IN THIS CITY, OF THE STATE DEVELOP
NBNT CONVENTION.
The Idea Bang Enthusiastically Received Every
whsrs-Ths Prospects Bright for 3
Large Gathering.

The coming session Of the State Develop
ment Convention, which is to meet in this
city on the 29th inst, is being looked for
ward to with esgerness by avery large pro-
portion of the business men and manufac-
turers Of this city and the State at large.
Meetings are being arranged for in many
counties, aud our people need not be sur
prised to see several hundred of the solid
men of the State in Wheeling on Monday
of next week. The State press, almost
without exception, has lent its substantial
aid and encouragement 10 the project, and
there is no longer the rsmotest doubt Of its
success.
The special committee Of the Chamber
oil Commerce 10 make arrangements, met
yesterday afternoon and held quite an in
teresting session. The matter oil place for
holding the convention was discussed and
il was generally conceded that the Cham
her Of Commerce room would not nearly
accommodate the delegates expected, and
it was decided that the Opera House be
taken.
As the delegates to the convention will
be very numerous and come in from all
parts of thu State, it was thought ad'
visable to appoint q large reception com
mittee 10 take care Of the visitors, and 8
committee OF one hundred composed OF
business men and manufacturers was ap-
pointed. The committee will divide itself
up into subcommittee to 60 to trains
and take care of the delegates generally.
There will be q Public Comfort Committee
whose headquarters will be at the Cham
Der Of Commerce, and who will furnish in
formation desired regarding accommoda-
tons and other matters in that line.
Boarding house keepers, those who have
rooms for rent, and all who furnish &C
c~ommodations, are requested TO leave theiI
addresses, rates, &c, with the committee
by addressing Secretary RIheldatfsr.
The expectation is that the manufactur
ers of the city will take pleasure in having
the visitors shown through their establish
ments, thus imprassin2 upon them what 6
large manufacturing place Wheeling Is
Some other little matters were discussed
and the committee adjourned to meet al
the Chamber Of Commerce rooms Friday
night.
