Recommended Paid to Him by the Fire
Committee Yesterdays Meeting.
The Council Committee on Fire De-
partment met yesterday afternoon, pro.
baby for the last time this year, and
audited what few bills remained out
standing 80 far asthey could be gathered
I'M they aggregated sos So,
A resolution offered by Mr.. seeley was
adopted. It recommends TO Council
that Chief Dunning be paid $3.50 50,
back pay TO date. Chief Cummings
present term began in December, 1883,
he having been elected by the old CounS
Gil, and his salary was fixed at Sl,200, the
same as II had been previous to that
time, In January, 1885, the present or
ganisation called Council came into
power and passing as a great Demo-
cratic "RefOrm" body, proceeded to
slash around without knowing very
much about what 1t was doing,
and reduce salaries, They reduced Chief
Dunning to $1,000. The Chiefs posi-
ton is that he was elected TO the office
with 81, 200 fixed as the salary and that
he is being unlawfully deprived Of 500
Of It, holding that a salary after being
fixed, and the officer elected, cannot be
changed till the end Of his term. The
seeley resolution refers to the fact that
the First Branch has decided that sala'
ries cannot be changed during q mans
term OF Office,

OF William Hastings, Past Master Work.
man A, o, U, w,-DIsdDe ., 1880,
Day by day, hour by hour the mighty
reaper is busy. At his command,
sunshine and shadow fit across the
pathway Of human life. Tears and
smiles, following in quick succession,
mark the ever Changinglot Of man, The
Supreme Master ofthe Universe, unher-
aided in his coming, has entered the cir
Gle Of our Brotherhood and called from
among us, Past Master Workman Will
lam Hastings, to join
1.-THE innumenble caravan which moves
To that mysterious realm, Where each shall take
His chamber In the silent hAllsOt death"
And while We deeply mourn the loss Of
our friend and brother, we bow in hum
BILE submission to the will oithe Supreme
Master Workman Of us all and say, with
reverence, "Thy will be done," For we
know that although the summons came
quickly and suddenly, IN the early dawn
OF the morning, 1t found our brother
ready, and as death ended his earthly
mission, and his spirit passed out from
among US, crossing the boundless shores
of eternity, we seem to hear the words
OF the Divine Master, swell done, thou
goodand faithful servant"
In the death Of Brother Hastings the
Ancient Order Of United Workmen has
sustained an almost irreparable loss, and
Welcome Lodge, a noble friend, ataith'
full brother workman, a wise counselor,
and one who by his actions in every
walk in life, practically and faithfully
taught the grand principles OF our order
"C6arity, ""Hope" and "Protection,"
In rendering our heartfelt sympathy
to the sorrowing family OF our deceased
brother, in this sad hour Of their atllc'
tIon we commend them to that Gracious
God who has promised TO be a Father 10
the Fatherless and a Husband to the
Widow,
at q regular meeting Of Welcome
Lodge No, Q, A. o, U. W., held Thurs
day evening, December 10, the above
memorial was adopted with the addition
OF the following resolutions:
RESOLVED, That as an additional token
OF respect The chair OF the Past Master
Workman be draped in mourning for a
period Of thirty days,
Resolyed, That a copy OF this memorial
be spread upon the minutes, a copy be
sent to the family OF the deceased, and a

The AIlld Weather Causes Dizziness, hut tho
General Situation Is Not ~Upfayorable.
NRw YoRE, Dec, 20.-R. G, Dun &
Co.'s review says: Mild weather causes
increasing trouble. Perhaps the coal
trade suffers most. Many collieries in
Pennsylvania have stopped, throwing
over 1900 men out Of employment and
great suffering results. The dry goods
and boot and shoe trades are much AZ
iected.
In some Of the southern States trade is
seriously affected for the time by the
operation Of the Farmers Alliances,
which enlist farmers in cooperative
trading and ABSORB money which might
otherwise 90 to,settle Indebtedness with
merchants. The results in some locall-
ties almost paFalyze trade. But the gem
eral tenor Of reports Is by no means IN.
favorable. The volume OF trade Contin'
ues larger than a year ago.
The iron business seems q shade less
promising, Recent sales Of 10000 tons
Of Bessemer pig at SCI 80 are supposed
TO have supplied needs OF large concerns,
and with additional furnaces turned to
production OF this kind Of iron, the
future 0 tprlces is less clear, Rails are
quiet, and II is believed that orders have
been booked already for 100000 tons
delivery by next year; the actual out
put this year, including light rails, Is
believed to be 1,450,000 tons, against
], S64,447 last year, Bar iron has been
advanced TO 2cents by the Association,
but is quiet; plate and structural iron
are firm, AS a surprising reversal Of
the usual order Of things, 1t is noted
that an English order for 10000 tons OF
pig iron has been received with a mar
gin OF 81 per ton deposited, and an
English house has asked prices on 65,00Q
feet Of wrought,iron pipe, which is said
TO be selling at II cents net against 1888
cents in this country,
Money Is still close here, at 8 per cent
on call, with a liberal demand at Chi.
cage, with sufficient supply Mt western
and southern points generally,
The speculative markets have been
comparatively dull, Only 100000
bushels Of wheat have sold here, the
price advancing about ono cent. Corn
shows a fractional decline. Oats are a
shade stronger. Pork dropped % cents
per barrel, and lard a shade, Oil Is a
haltcent lower,
The business failures number 342.
For the same week last year the figures
were 81,

Yesterdays weather was about the
most varied assortment OF unreasonable
days the Weather Bureau has been fur.
nishing for the past month orsix weeks.
In the morning II was clear, almost
slltry, and the atmosphere was full Of
moisture, About 2 o'clock 1t sprinkled.
Half an hour later there was a howl.
ing cyclone for q few seconds and
the rain poured In torrents. At
the end OF another half hour the rain
had stopped. Two hours later the sun
was shining aud the afternoon was a
glorious one with the Thermometer fall.
Ing rapidly. At 10 o'clock last nightthe
mercury was going up again and the
signs for more rain at midnight we're ex-
cellent.

FOUR PRISONERS ESCAPE

From jail ut Martins F%erry-ThCy Had
Help from outside.
AT six. O'Clock last night officer Mil.
lard Weems, Of the Martins Ferry police
force, left the lookup and went to sup.
per. At ten minutes after six he was
called for to go to the city building to
open the public hall, which was to be
used last night. When he arrived at
the city building Andrew Taylor, a pris-
,oner, called to him to come into the Jail.
Weelns went in, and found to his sur.
prise that the hasp OF u heavy lock used
to hold tho iron bar on the side door in
place had been sawed in two, and that
the inmateg Of the Jail excepting Taylor
had escaped. The l9or was wide open,
and tue only reason Taylor did not 20
is because lie preferred 10 serve out u
short sentence rather than become a
fugitive. Those who escaped are, Frank
Barrett, viii Davis, George Coss and
Dick Wigiplon. They were all in on
