THE LACY CASE.

The Evidence Stricken Out by Judge
PAUL, Yesterday.
In Judge Paull's Part of the Circuit
Court. yesterday, the motion made by Col.
w. W. Arnett, Thursday evening, to
strike out the evidence offered by the State
IN the Lscy case, was decided in favor OF
the defense, and an order to this effect was
directed TO be entered. With this order,
there was incorporated, however, the pro-
viso that the State should be allowed one
week in which to procure legal evidence,
ard if they fail to do this, at the expira-
ton of this tine, the prisoner will be re-
leased upon his own recognizance, which
is equivalent 10 discharge.
The trouble with the States case is re-
gardiug the evidence upon the point as to
whether OF not Lacy is the agent OF Adam
Forepaugh. Prosecuting Attorney How
ard. as has been stated, is endesvoring to
prccure the affidavit Of Mr.. Forepaugh,
spd this viii be adduced as soon as 1t
comes 10 hand, but when it does come,
there will another legal fight as to Its ad-
instability.
Yesterday Lscy was taken to Browns
photograph gallery by Chief of Police Del
drugge and Officer Shorts, and his photo
graph was taken. Lacy protested strong,
ly egaius. being taken to the studio, and
said 1t wasn't right" but when he found
he would have 10 go, he submitted with
the best possible grace, and as result an
excellent photograph was taken. These
pictures viii he sent around pretty freely,
that the public in other cities may be
warned against this particular fraud.

lighted q large audience last night. Each

Torrance is wonderful piece of work in

skill of the perfect and foished actor.
Miss Ramie Austen sustains the more

one so young so much dramatic force and

called the eentlemsn's name without the

formed the darkey of his bad manners.
This led to words and the dandy was
ordered out. Afterwards DC met the
Mcclure man on the street, and calling
HIM aside applied very insulting term to
him. He didn't feel the force of the IN

THE NEW RESERVOIR.

notwithstanding the many predictions
70 the contrary from the wise heads ana
chronic doubterp, the water was success
fully pumped into the new reservoir, yes
terday. How the city mas done SO long
without this essential increase to her
storage capacity is wonder. Cities with
NOT a tenth of Wheeling's population are
provided with double and quadruple her
espacity. Although small, and yet it is
four times the size of the old, the new
basin seems TO be a fine and substantial
piece of engineering and mechanical work;
therefore. the REGISTER takes pleasure IN
complimenting the old Water Board for
eonceiving, planning and starting SO
valuable and important an annex to the
city's water supply; and also TO
the new board for prosecuting this work
70 a successful finish. There need not
hereafter be any complaint about the water
pressures. The many high places through
out the city will hav5 all the water they
want at all hours of the day, and these
citizens need not carry their family sup
ply a square or two. Hillside property in
the several wards will be greatly enhanced
for building sites, and altogether, it Is
big progressive leap in public way that
everybody is glad to see. Now then let
the city fathers ''get move on them" in
regard to the Main street bridge, the
manual training school. and several other
important things for the good of the city.
Wheeling wants to Jump ahead and II
she can ger a half chance, the old
town will surprise the fOssiliferOus element
who either cannot or don't want to see be-
yond their noses.
