EXTENSION

Is causing quite little fiutter of excitement.
Public opinion seems to be about equally di-
yided as to the advisability of granting the
land In question and we would rather be most
anybody but .'city father" just now. This
Portland and Rochester business, however,
is not worrying our brain SO much as the de-
ment to make room for the ever Increasing
demands ON our space by the arrival of our
novel and fashionable lines of goods. There
has got to be an expansion or an exodus, and
as the bricks and mortar won't expand the
goods must go 0ut-even IL we make nothing
out of them but more room.

A BAD ACCIDENT.

At the wheeling Ice COmpany's Plant
Last Evening.
There were many exaggerated report;
flying about the city, last evening, in ref
erence to an accident at the plant of the
Wheeling Ice and Storage Company. The
boilers had burst, a condenser had ex.
plOded, several men were torn to pieces,
part of the building had been blown clear
over into Main street, and there was ter
rible time to pay generally.
None of these things occurred, but bad
accident did happen. The large water
tank located In the second story of the
main part of the building, close to the
east side of the structure, was precipitated
to the ground by the supports giving away.
The tank is twelve feet in diameter and
eight feet deep, and held about 10000
gallons of water. At the time of the acct
dent it was nearly filled. When the tank
fell it fortunately fell toward the east, and
it carried with it the whole side of the
building, making a terrible crash, as if an
explosion hsd occurred.
Mr. W. II. Boughner, the gentleman in
charge at the time, which was about 7:15
O'Clock, had ust left small room under
the tank and had not taken more than
five steps when the crash came. But ow-
ing to the way the tank fell he was not in
jured.
Two Of the filters were carried down
with the tank and the pipe about the ammo
MIA tank, in which was stored $4,000
pounds of ammonia, was broken and it es-
capped in a volume. Mr.. BOughner, as soon
as he realized what had occurred ran to
the second story and, althougbthe ammonia
almost stihed him, after three of four
attempts he succeeded in shutting it off.
The whole fault for the accident lies in the
very inadequate support FOR such heavy
weight.
The tank was badly damaged, and the
filters were also somewhat broken. The
company willlnot.be able to make ice I'M
til the damage is repaired, which will take
perhaps week. The loss is probably $500
or 5000.

THE BAKER CASE
To be Shortly Taken to the Supreme Court Of
the J..
4 CONFERENCE OF ATTORNEYS.
A New Law Of Congress Presents Point
Not Yet Passed on.
INTERESTING LOCAL NEWS NOTES.

A short time ago the REGISTER printed
the information that the case of Van B.
Baker, now just entering upon life SEN
tence in the penitentiary at Moundsville,
would be taken to the Supreme Court Of
the United States.
It is now authoritatively stated that this
course will be taken.
At conference held, Friday, between
the attorneys for the defense, it was re-
solved that this course was the proper one
to be pursued in the matter, and Clerk o. S.
Long, of the Supreme Court of West Vir-
ginia, was accordingly communicated with,
and in reply said he would have the pro-
ceeiings before his tribunal properly GER
titled up. 10 conversation, last evening,
Col. W. W. Arnett said:
"a law was enacted at the last session
of Congress, going into effect in May,
which permits every one convicted Of a
capital crime to have bis case passed upon
by the highest Court in the country. But
there is an interesting point about it,
which remains to be sdjudicated, and
therein may lay very important question
for us. The language of the law, as 1 now
recall it, extends this right to one convict
ed of capital crime, but it has been said
that possibly this means only those upon
whom the death sentence has been passed.
This point has not, believe, been decid-
ed, and II is possible it may arise in this
case. If it does, the case will take on an
additional interest, both for the legal pro.
fession and for the general public"

repaid by the rich and attractive pro-

Those who are enjoying 80 many good
things during these holiday times should
not forget the needy poor of our city,
many of whom are in sore distress, for the
lack of necessary food and raiment.
Let, then, the young and the old, the

and pack the Opera House to its fullest
capacity.
