fourteen, in all and as merry ana congo
nial II party they make as one could care
to belong to, or full in with.
The bowling storm that was raging
when the party left over the Panhandle
road at 0:4O o'clock Wednesday night
had no apparent depressing effect on the
SPIRITS OF the crowd; on the contrary
they were, il anything, elevated and all
thoughts OF the storm lost rs the inspec'
tors lit their cigars and settled down into
jolly games Of euchre, seven.up and
casino. An hours run took them
into Steubenville, where wait OF one
hour was had. Sheriff steentod headed
party OF ten, who marched down
Market street, in the very teeth Of the
storm, to take a look AZ the court house
and ascertain II there was Jail in Steu'
benville. This branch inspection trip
was productive OF several amusing incl
dents.
Somewhere along about 8 o'clock this
morning the party reached Newark,
The snsw had ceased, but was ankle
deep on the ground it was sharp, cleat
and frosty and no time was lost in get
ting to the warm shelter Of hotel. Be-
fore retiring the party raided a lunch
stand and some OF the gastronomlc leafs
performed aroused wonderment; hap
PLY there were no disastrous results.
While the excursionists were Mt break.
fast, Mr.. J. W. Yost, well-known Col
umbus architect, appeared on the scene
and renewed the acquaintance he had
with several Of the Wheeling party. Mr.
Yost brought with him and intro
duced to the delegation Major
John Tucker, one Of Licking county't
very efficient and public spirited
Commissioners, who did the honort
toward the Wheeling party in {
most handsome and hospitabls man
ner. Shortly after Major Tucker was
Joined by Mr.. Barclay Jones and Colone.
Bumgardner, the other Commissioners
OF Licking county, and they joined with
him in according to the Wheel
ing delegation lattering de-
gree OF attention. This cleve,
trio were assisted in dispensing theil
hospitality, the generosity OF which
rivalled that which has made Virginia
famed, by Sheriff A. J.. Chilly: Mr.
Harry HILBERT, IN extensive stone con.
tractor and Mr.. Lane. Of Lane Bros
Bridge and Construction Company, Of
Newark.
The new Jail was the first place vis
tied. 1t is beautiful brown stone
structure, standing in the centre Of an
ample lawn on the bank Of the canal. II
is the handsomest building in the town,
and is q credit not only to the county,
but to the men who had the nerve to
advocate and carry out the building OIL
the useful ornament. The exterior ap.
pearance is anything but that Of 8
Jail; viewed from the front, in which por-
ton is located the sheriT's or jailer'e
quarters, the large plate glass windows,
stained glass transoms, hard wood finish
ings and the elegant stone columns sup.
porting the porch, all combine to give
the building more the appearance Of
some swell club house. Viewed from
any point there ia nothing about the
building the appearance OF which could
in any way be offensive to the eye or in
any manner detract from the value Of
surrounding property.
Sheriff Chilly was the host at the Jail.
He showed the visitors all through the
spacious residence portion OF the struct-
ure, from the kitchon on the top floor
10 the cellars, as well as through the
jul. proper. All the cooking being done
on the TOD floor. there arc no odors to
permeato the lower floors. An elevator
carries the food when prepared to the
lower floors. There arc is cells in the
Jail arranged in four tlers. The interior
arrangement is about as near perfect as
human ingenuity can devise. The
building cost sos, COO without the furnish.
ings. With the furnishings which are on
a scale of durability and elegance in
keeping with the building itself, the
cost was $4,000 and the majority Of the
people Of Licking county are said to con.
graduate themselves that the money
was well spent.
Alter spending about one hour at the
Jail the party was conducted through
the Court House; q very handsome ap-
pearing structure standing in the center
Of square and surrounded on all sides
by large trees. In all the Offices the
viaitors were cordially welcomed
and made to feel perfectly at home.
While in the Court House Messrs. Jones,
Tucker and Bumgardner sent for car
riages and treated the visitors to splen.
did ride. winding up at the Orphan Asy-
lum which Licking county recently built
and which, like her Jail, she claims to
be the finest institution OF its kind
in Ohio. Mr.. Yost was the architect OF
this building, and the pride he took in
showing it was psrdonable. Col. Jones,
the Superintendent, took charge Of the
party in person and with evident pleas
ure pointed out the many admir-
able features about his institution.
This asylum is grand monument
to the liberality and humanity OF Licking
county people. The day was delight.
full one, and the ride was one OF tho
pleasantest features of the. day. The
ride to this place over the Panhandle
was a pleasant but uneyenttul ono, bar
ring the fact that one man lost six dol.
