dead. They maintain that he is in a
state of coma. At 7:30 o'clock last ght
the judicial investigation was completed,
and though showing some trihing dis
crepancies, brings to light nothing un-
favorable to Mr.. Inglesias' reputation.

Dom Pedro is man of striking physi-
cal presence, being 6 feet 4 inches in
height and well proportioned. He
writes and speaks fuently English,
French, German, Spanish and Italian.
Thoroughly democratic in character, his
mann rs are simple and unaffected, and
his tastes those of rational and un-
selfish gentleman, who cares little Ior
the pomp and luxury of state. Details
of etiquette never had any fascination
for him, and discussion with learned
man on some question of science or art
was more pleasing to him than having

THEIR ACTION is DEFERRED
! In Regard to the Charges Against

Asked for Natural Gas,

The Board OF County Commissioners
did not investigate Squire W, II. Davis
yesterday, All the members were pres
emit, and SO were Squire Davis and his
attorneys, L. s, Jordan and Alfred Cald'
well. A motion was made to dismiss
the charges Of malleasance in office pre-
ferred against Squire Davis by Mrs.
shuler, on the grounds that tho Board
had no jurisdiction, asthe law prescFibes
that when Justice is charged with mis-
conduct he shall be indicted, and upon
conviction may be removed, The mos
ton to dismiss was argued by Squire
payis's counsel and by Prosecuting At
torney Howard for the county, and was
overruled, tho Board deciding that it
had Jurisdiction. Davis took an excep-
ton, and went at once before Judge
PAUL, who issued a writ OF prohibition,
lorbidding the Board to proceed further
In the nRtter until Q hearing in the Cir
cult Court, which was set foF July q.

ed on behalf OF q number OF citizens,
and presented q petition asking that the
county increase its subscription to the
capital stock OF the Wheeling Develop.
ment Company, the corporation which
proposes to bore here for natural gas, to
$1,000. This was considered at some
length, and hnamii;S' ~: =! llsying Of the levy
at 30 cents was reConsidered and the
matter deferred, it being the idea to get
the views Of the public on the proposed
$4,000 subscription, and ii these are
favorable, increase tho levy to 55 cents
to cover this subscription.
The ordinance reportedby the Finance
Committee for the issue OF 100000 oil

PURE IGH FOR WHEELING.
A Solid Company Formed to
Erect an Ice Plant.
THE PROJECT SURE 10 BE A GO
And in tho Hands of Solid Business
Men, with a Capital Stock of
S1O0,OOO-Advantago of tho
PIant-Cold Storage, too.

AS intimated in the INTELLIGENcER
recently, company has been formed by
the leading business men and capitalists
Of Wheeling for the purpose of manu-
featuring artificial ice and supplying cold
storage capacity, The company is now
complete, and work will begin at an early
day on the plant. Theincorporators are
Col. j, A. Miller, Messrs, U. W. Conner,
+. P, Jepson, @, P. Brown, R. X, Friend,
Julius Pollock, Harry W, McLure, Lewis
Steenrod, DR., l., D, Wilson and Judge
George Z, Boyd, The company will be
called the Wheeling Ice and Storage
Company, and 100000 has already been
subscribed to the capital stock.
The site ofthe buildings to be erected
has not yet been selected, but several
good ones are in view, The plant will
have a capacity Of thirty-fve tons Of ice
day, the ice being made Of distilled
water, The process to be used is the
DeCoppet system, and the Cincinnati
Ice Machine Company will erect and
equip the establishment. This company
built the artificial ice plants at Hunting.
ton and Parkersburg, this State, at Dem
yer, COL, Chattanooga, Tenn, and else
where, aud 1t is claimed for their ma.
chine that 1t is the only one in which it
is absolutely impossible for the ice to
be tainted by the luhrlCating oil, etc.
The compapy's capacity will be in
creased as the demand neGessitates, to
seVenty-iive or one hundred tons Of ice
u day. 1t will also erect q cold storage
warehouse, in which fruits, meat, butter,
eggs and other perishable articles can be
kept ut regular temperature rs low as
need be.
This enterprise will be in the nature OF
public blessing, Pure ice is now a
rarity in Wheeling and vicinity, the
irelghts from the lakes making lake ice
costly. The names Of the incorporators
OF the new company, as given above, are
u sufficient guarantee OF the solidity Of
the concern, aud it is the intention to
have the plant completed and the pro.
duct on the market not later than the
middle OF August. The company will
not sell to the retail trade, but only at
wholesale TO the Ice dealers OF the city
and surrounding towns. The ice is
made in uniform blocks OF two sizes-lQ0
and 200 pounds
Every conVumer OF leo In the vicinity
will doubtless prefer the manufactured
article to the Ice taken from the foul
streams Of the vicinity. The enterprise
deserves encouragement aud ought to
BIO big success.
