THREE FIRES.
TWO RESIDENCES DESTROYED EAST OF THE
CITY.
Peculiar Accident On the South Sids-A Shot
ing Racket in The Eighth Ward-Two
Narrow Escapes

There was quite lively blaze IN
Pleasant Valley at o'clock yesterday
evening. The victim Of the flames was
new two-story frame house nearly
opposite the residence of o. c. Dewey.
The house was burned to the ground,
nothing but the chimney being left
standing. No one seems to know how
the fire originated, but 1t seems to have
been discovered by some parties on
their way to early Mass. The house
was not fully finished, only the plaster
ing being completed, and there was no
insurance on the building. As soon
as the flames were discovered and
a general alarm given through
out the neighborhood, there
were lively efforts to extinguish the
fire, but it had gained too great head
way, and it went madly on unreStrained
in its work of destruction. The build
ing belonged to Alex. Beltz, the cooper
on Seventeenth street, but the losers by
the fire are contractors, Hess IL McMul-
Ian. The loss is 81 500. The house
when completed would have represented
3, 900. The contractors will move
the lumber on the ground in day or
two and put up new building immedi-
ately to take the place of the one
burned.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.
A HAPPY AND UNIVERSAL CELEBRATION OF
The DAY.
Business Srspendsd-The Churches and Theatres
Well Flled-A Big Snow Storm IN
the Evening.

The Christmas of yesterday was in vi
olent contrast to the Christmas of
year ago.
The weather was cold and seasonable
not warm and summary, as in 1889
enough of the big snow of week ago
remained on the ground 10 enable the
casual observer to tell it was winter,
without looking at the almanac, and in
the evening the'snOw storm, which was
predicted by 4 Western weather proph-
ct week or more ago and which was
threatened for cou pie of days, began,
and extended during the night, about
three inches having fallen at ten o'clock.
As 4 result of this snow, the city was
very lively last evening, there appear
ing, cOincident with the storm, very
general desire among the people to get
out in the streets. Once there, every
one seemed bent on having thorough
ly good time, and up town, where
Wheeling people do mostly congregate,
the air was filled with merry laughter
and shouts of pleasant greeting. The
theatres were crowded TO the doors,
during the evening, rs they had been
in the afternoon, several churches,
where entertainments were in progress,
were likewise filed, and the several
balls in progress we're well patrOnized.
Dozens of sleighS were brought out
after p. m, and the jingling OF the
bells made merry music.
The day throughout was emphatically
one of rest and social enjoyment. There
was little attempt TO do business dur
ing the morning, and after noon scarcely
store was open. There were large
congregations at the churches holding
services.
In other respects, the day was OBJ
served about as it usually is in Wheel
ing. The hotels and restaurants all
had elaborate menus, and were not lack
ing in guests, there were innumerable
little social gatherings, presentations
galore, and 4 general good time.
1t was a genuine ''old time Christ
mas, as was observed something less
than Il thousand times last night. May |
old Santa's shadow never grow less.

4 PECULIAR ACCIDENT.
Alonzo Miller Injured by the Discharge of
Small Cannon.

II Small Cannon.
Alonzo Miller, young man who re-
sides at 3lsO Alley II, was the victim of
a peculiar accident, about one o'clock
yesterday afternoon.
He was loading Il small cannon to
shoot on the hillside, in the rear of bis
home, and he picked up poker, which
was resting on fender. to wedge the
load in tighter. 1t happened that the
poker was hot, and ignited the powder,
which went off with a flash, burning the
flesh on his left hand in a shocking
manner. The discharge sent the poker
through the window, carrying sash and
all clear across the alley. His hand was
torn by the poker, and it just missed his
mother and another lady who were sit
ting by the window, engaged in CONVEX
sation. DR.. Brannon was called, and
dressed the wounds.

APlea for a Cessation of Abuse.


To NE Editor Of the Register:
The Intelligenccr seems TO again be
venting its old time harangue, this time
against Frank Healy, the newly-elected
Fire Department Chief. As citizen and
voter of the Republican party think
that since the defeat OF Capt. Tom Ben
nett as City Sergeant by Porter Smith,
which was undoubtedly brought about
by the abuse heaped upon the latter by
the said paper, they would have ere
this learned that vilfying and abusing
n candidate only serves to give him q
larger majority. There are good and
bad people belonging TO both parties,
and 1t is well known that no man, how
ever competent, however honest and
upright, can suit everybody. Having
been for some years personally acquaint'
ed with Mr.. Healy | have YET
the first time to know him &c
fail to fulfill a promise made
by him. He has repeatedly expressed
himself that II elected as Chief he
would without fear or favor endeavof
TO make Wheeling's Fire Department
second to none in the United States.
His previous history as fireman is not,
and cannot be, impcached, and what.
ever faults he may have had in the past,
am ready to wager the Department
will be as well conducted during his ad.
ministration, if not better, than at any
time in the past. With due respect &c
Mr.. DunninS who has certainly made a
good Chief, il must be considered he
has served two terms, and his friends
should submit gracefully. The old say
ing, There are as good fish In the sea
as ever was caught, ] feel satisfied will
be verified by Frank Healy, the undis-
puted Chief Of Wheeling's Fire Depart
ment. That It may be so is the wish OF
the writer and many staunch Republi.
cans of the city. Respectfully,
II. ]. NJ.

4 BIG SNOW.
Another Edition OF Winter, Extended
Over a Wide Area.

Over Wide Area.
The barometer fell steadily all day
Yesterday, the difference between the
height in the morning, and at midnight
last night, being about four-tenths OF an
inch. About five o'clock few stray
fakes of snow fell, and the storm, which
had been threatened for about twenty
four hours, was soon fairly under way.
At one o'clock this morning 1t was still
showing as steadily as ever, and the
prospects were that by daylight there
would be at least seven inches OF the
beautiful on the ground.
AT one o'clock this morning the Sig
nal Service Department sent out the
following:
WASHINGTON, u. c., December 20
The signal Office says the present storm
promises the greatest amount OF snow
in any single storm for several years.
From three to seven inches OF snow
have fallen to-day in the Ohio valley.
Tie snow now extends from Indiana TO
Virginia.
The following came from Pittsburg:
Late this evening a threatened snow
storm swept over this city and at IL
o'clock is falling fast, and drifting in
the high wind. a dozen South Side
street cars are showed in line on Smith
field street, with poor prospects OF
moving for hours"

for eight successive years ought to be
an evidence Of its merits. The comedy
has been very much improved by being

decidedly new. Miss Evans always wins

theatre with people, many being pres
emit from neighboring Ohio towns. The
applause and laughter that shook the
auditorium showed that the popular ac-
tress had lost none Of her old-time pop
ularity, and the warm appreciation was
certainly gratifying. The piece is full OF
funny situations, and they were all well
pictured by Miss Evans, who IS sup
ported by strong and well-oaianced
company. In the evening she was
again greeted by an audience that filled
the theatre. and which witnessed with
unquestionable delight the fine presen-
tation of "Fogg's Ferry" Miss Evans
has advanced in wonderful degree
since her last appearance here. Her
dancing has a pretty quality OF grace
and dexterity, while her voice was
much improved. The revised version
of Fogg's Ferry is very entertaining
piece. Such is the popularity of Miss
Evans that she will again appear at the
Opera House tomorrow afternoon and
evening.
