A BIG ORDER I!
a Gentleman Arrives In the City to Make
Big Nall Deal.

a Gentleman Arrives In the City to Make =
Big Nall Deal.
A gentleman arrived in thu city last
evening who comes on very important bus
iness, if what a REGISTER reporter caught
onto" last evening is correct, and there is
no doubt Of that. Saugly enscOnsed in
the inside pocket of the gentleman is-not
fifteen dollars, az many might suppose, be-
cAuse lie carries his wallet in another
pocket-but it is authority from the big
firm he represents, to make deal for from
100 600 to 300, OOO kegs of cut steel nails,
which represents considerable amount OF
money. And another important point,
too. is the fact that the deal If made will
he for spot cash on delivery, as the firm
has unlimited capital.
If this deal is made, and it is sincerely
hoped, for the good OF Wheeling, that 1t
will be, it will be the biggest single order
for cut nails ever made, and will keep any
one of the Wheeling factories running Goa
stantly for some considerable time.
In the last three months this same firm
has purchased over $50, coo kegs of nails
and only yesterday their representative
closed a deal with a representative of q
wire nail establishment for 100 600 kegs of
wire nails.
It is understood that if tie gentleman
cannot come to satisfactory terms he will
not purchase one dollars worth OF nails,
snd the placing Of the order rests between
Wheeling and another section. If Wheel
ing gets the order it will be feather in her
car, and very likely to day will decide
that point. For sufficient reasons the
pame of the gentleman and that Of the
firm he represents are both withheld IN
til further developments.

Miss Estelle OloytOn gave her first pro-
duction in this city Of the dramatizalion
of Amelia Rives' The Quick or the

very severely criticised az bsipg to bread

much 30 even for a FIeRch imagination.
The play sdhsrss very closely to the text.
but the story told with living 6gares is not

ton. Misc Clayton hal the largest audi

A Market Street Business House Entered
and Robbed.
At some time between Saturday night
when the cigar establishment of Hugo
Loos, at 1922 Market strest, WAS closed,
and yesterday morning when an employe
opened mp, some ore entered the building
and got away with about SIS in cash,
and probably come cigars and tobacco, al
tho ugh the proprietor can well tell about
the latter.
The thief went in the back alley then
into the yard. borrowed step-ladder from
L. l.. Nicoll's yard next door, which en-
abled him to reach window from a
stairway which leads 10 the cellar The
shutters were held shut with q basp and
lock and the staples which held il were
merely driven into the pine wood and not
clinched, 70 that it was very easy thing
to remove them. A window pane WAS
then broken out, the fastening removed
and then the way was clear.
It is very evident that the thief only ex-
pected to fad some small change in the
money drawer, or went entirely for cigars
But 10 passing the safe at the back end Of
the store proper Re just gave the handle u
turn and found the safe unlocked. He
opened the door, took the keys from a
small drawer, opened the money dra yer,
took all the money there was in it, licked
the drawer again, pushed the safe door
shat and locked it and dropped the keys
on the outside, then made his escape by
taking down bar from the back door.
The thief very evidently, is some ore
pretty we'll acquainted with the lsy Of the
land, and knew before hand how easy it
would be to enter the store. Among the
cash taken was quite an amount of Cana
dian money. There is no clue to the thief

About Natural Gas.

Mr.. George Heard, Secretary of the Nat
ural Gas Company of West Virgins, ar
rived in the city last evening and is quar-
tered at the Mcclure. Mr. Heard said that
the company is constantly sinking new
wells, and in his opinion it would be many
years before the gas supply is exhausted
lie says that the floods of the past sum-
mer, which did 90 much damage to their
line, and the suit against the company
heie coming together was quite a discour-
aging blow and one they felt very severe
ly. TO repair the damages to their line by
the floods required the expenditure Of $40,
600. He stated that the total increase in
their years receipts by the increase in
rates recently made will not amount to
more than $25, 600, which is a very much
smaller amount than many thought it
would be The price, said he, is bound to
regulate itself, and it is all nonsense to
talk about running it up above reason
able figure. He is sure the domestic sup
ply in the city will be much better than
last winter, and if nothing unusual occurs
there will be no trouble.
