What Score of manufacturers Think of
It's Reduction.
ALBANY, n. Y. Jan. 10.-The Evening
journal publishes to-day replies from
about q score of wool manufacturers do
ing business wAhin radius Of Zoe miles
of Albany as to the Presidents recon-
mendation to put raw wool on the free
list. With one exception the replies sre
against the chsDge. Almost unanimously
the manufacturers maintain the abolition
Of the tariff or wool would soon be fol-
lowed by a movement to the abolition
Of the tariff on manufactured
wooden goods. There is some difference
of opinion as to the question whether
farmers would kill off their sheep in the
event Of the abolition OF the wool tariff.
Most manufacturers agree that the sheep
industry would receive serious blow
should the tariff be abolished. As to
lowering the price of wool, the manu-
lecturers generally agree that the aboli-
ton OF the tariff might have this effect
for few months but thst it would not be
permanent reduction. The general
opinion among them is that they could
not successfully continue business with
the present scale of wages il the tariff on
raw and manufactured woods were re
moved or materially reduced.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Jsn. 10-Ac-
cording to published interviews with
agents of the Del Campo Steamship Line,
which was started two months ago in OPP
position 20 the Pacific Mail Company, has
decided to cease operat ons. Tue COM
pany has four steamships here which have
been ordered to be tied up until further
orders. 1t is claimed the reason for this
is found in the fact that the Del Campo
Line was not f )rded any facilities what
ever By the Panama Railroad and
that 5 per cent. rebate was grained
by the Central American states On all
goods shipped by the Pacific company.
No exclusive grant was made to then, bat
similar concessions had been made to the
Pacific Mail For these reasons the Mar
quis. Del Campo has gwen orders stop

cihc and ordering the steamers here and
at Pansm. to be laid up ind. finitely.

reason of the competition OF the new line

SOME EXCELLENT ADVICE
About an Old Established aud ExCellei
House, Popular with ChrIstmas Buyers.

About an Old Established aud Excellent
House, Popular with Christmas Buyers.
To have carried on u single line Of
business in a progressive community
such as Wheeling is, for u quarter OF a
century and in that time steadily main
ed ones own, is sufficient guarantee OF
the excellence Of the goods handled and
the satisfaction given to patrons. But
when, in addition to maintaining trade,
that trade has rapidly increased and
reached the mammoth proportions that
Ziegenfelder's has in this year of grace,
1888, then for certainty, must the fact
be self-evident one that excellence is
the winning feature. Every one about
Wheeling knows of Ziegenfelder's.
Few there be who have not gratifed the
sweet tooth with the splendid confec-
tons that con from that establishment
and, all this is no exaggeration, can tes-
tify to the excellence OF the superb ice
cream for which Zegenfelder is noted.
During the holiday season there has
been little rest for the employees at lie
genielder's. From early morn till late
at night, after other popular resorts for
the holiday buyers are closed, the scenes
ut this far-famed establishment have
been busy ones. Buyers have crowded
the place and tons Of sweets in all shapes
and varieties have been sent out. AT
Ziegenfelder's specially is made OF the
finest candies manufactured in the coun-
try, among which are Whitman's OF
Philadelphia, Wallace's and Millard's OF
New York, and Reymer RIOS. of Pitts
burgh. These candies are known to the
public and each manufacturer has an
open challenge us to the purity OF his
CONNECTIONS. In addition to all these
are Mrs. Ziegenielder's own makes. Any
ones pocket book eau be suited for the
candy prices run from ten cents to S
per pound.
Her fruit cakes are famous for thei,
delicacy, and Christmas dinner would
be lacking without one. She manufac
lures her own cakes OF all kinds, anC
none can compare with them. She ha.

that are not to be surpassed anywhere
in the city.

A Pleasant Wedding nj tho First Presby-
terrain Church Yesterday.
A very happy event which has been
pleasantly anticipated for some time past
by good number OF Wheeling society
people, was the wedding Of Miss Zanna
Frasher and Mr.. George II. Gibson,
which took place yesterday afternoon at
half past three o'clock in the First Pres
byterian church. The ceremony was
witnessed by large gathering OF admir-
ing friends and well wishers. The
ushers and only attendants were DR..

T. Mitchell. They preceded the two
principals up the center aisle and stood
on either side while the Rev. DR., ID. A.
Cunningham, pastor OF the church,
spoke the words that made the bride
and groom one. Memberships we'd
ding march was played both as the bridal
party entered and us they left the church.
The bride, always an attractive looking
lady, looked unusually well on this &C.
casion in travelling costume OF Persian
blue imported broadcloth with hat to
match. She carried bunch oil lovely
pale pink roses.
Immediately after the ceremony few
OF the more intimate friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. Gibson met them in the lecture
room OF the church and rendered their
compliments and congratulations, after
which the bridal party drove 10 the
Panhandle depot, where Mr.. and Mrs.
Gibson took the 4;2O train for an East
ern bridal trip. They will be ut home
to their friends at the Mcclure House on
Wednesdays and Fridays after January

point till about noon yesterday, when it
became stationary with n depth in the

rise OF three feet in twenty.four hours.
The Hudson passed down at A a, m. yes

trade and the Scotia passed up in the
same trade one hour later. The Louis

late hour last evening with good trip
on board. She will leave for that point
on her return trip at 3 o'clock this alter
noon. The Sherley is in every respect u
most excellent packet. She is COM

commenced to run rather heavily.
