Il. ..a..,tions now are that the centen:

The indications now are that the centen
nisl anniversary Of George Washington
insngurstion as the fret President OF M
r-,ited States will be celebrated in an al
snieious manner in Wheeling, although
nsop.e were q little late in working up th'
necessary patriotism to make an effort L
properly celebrate the day.
Now that the thing has been started
however. the prospects are hat the parade
this afternoon will be quite a respectable
one People sre now urged to turn in and
decorate their houses as gAily as possible
Flags and bunting should not be spared &c
help sloog the demonstration.
Toe IRE department has been ordered
TO turn oct by Chief Cunning and the
whole department vii be in the parade
with engines, and reels handsomely deco
rated.
The column will be headed by an escort
Of twelve police, who will be designated
by Chief Dslbrugge to-day.
Capt Geo. E Boyd has also Issued o.
ders for the Wheeling Light Guards to
meet at the armory at o'clock for
the parpo.e OF turning out. The
members OF The Grand Army
of tbs Republic. the Patriotic Sons of
America. the Junior Order of United
American Mechanics, the Knights Of the
Golden Ergle, and other orders will also
turn ont. In fac. 81 uniformed bodies IN
the civ should Join in and make the dem
onstrati0n as glorious Ds possible
There ID q great deal OF complaint, by
The way, about the length of the line Of
march, az it will take the parade over
about seven miles of dis anc5, which is
more than anybody cares 10 travel on
foot. The route should, and no doubt will,
be modified, and II Is probable that it will
lot reach further up than Ninth street nor
further down than Twenty seventh. Ii Is
hoped these who have the matter in charge
sill see that this change is made. The
military company and Washington COun-
ell, Jr. o. L. A. NJ have both decided 10
Dot - over the whole route unless it is
shortened, as suggested, aud this would
have me effect Of thro wing the line into
disorder
This morning at 9 O'Clock appropriate
services will Do held in cOmmemOration OF
the day at the United Presbyterian Church,
where the congregations Of tire First, Sec
ond and United Presby terrain Churches
